FECULIAILITIES OF PUNTA ARENAS ""'li roof, Miid every one of tbeni wai of a imle jilnk rolor when the writer was there Naturally. Die sailors will want a closer .' ' t view of a town with urli colors, and their Stopping Place Of Battleship Fleet at I anxiety to laml will be the (creator if they i have haopeneti to hear that II a supply I town for some thousands of square mile of sheep pasture, thf home town of some liunijreds of Hold nilneiu. and a place that was largely peopled by 'sailors lulled from Aie.i i lean saU rs. If they land cxpeitlng co find a town with the characteristics of a mine camp or a shepherds' resort, or a sailors' port of call in the l'nlted Slates, however, they will be dlhappolnted. Thus while the pop ulation Is raid to number 2MV, besides the floaters from the pampas and the sea, there was, when the writer was there, only one iiiueic hall In the town, and that a saloon with a hand orgaa which a young Woman ground during the evening to draw customers. The only place where' any gambling waa done was at a private club. Still, one Joy which some sailois seek when on shor was to. be had In any breadth and depth deHirHl; there were nearly lot "stores" licenced to hell yiiuors, and nearly all of them employed barmaiJa in the. English fashion. It was the custom for these barmaids to sit at the doorways of the barrooms during the day, and s.-w or knit especially Knit; but it la not unrea sonable to .suppose thai trada would be brisker while the fleet U there If the bar. "maids were to r"jaiii . well within the tores or wore veils. Only In tus liiiinod erata ua of aloolurf Is Ui towa ef Puota 'tt here SLIpm reeled 'satlura ana Sea. IwrlBK - J'duatters Hobnob with .Tatl Heel iaa and Drlvr Trade. Puntit Arenas, the next stopping place of i the American battleship fleet in Us voyage to the Pacific, Is a town with a history, which John K. Spears, a sailor-author who haa been there, dcacribes In the New York Kvenlng I'oat. It is located at the eaalern entrance to the Straits of Magellan. Four brtaJI streets run from the beach up the ioM of the lilllalde, on which the town is built. Within the town limits, says Vtr. Sperrs. every street is well filled, and fvery liouao that can be seen from the ahlpa la covered over with galvanised sheet Jron roofing. The side walls lv of the houses all aeem to be covered with tha same glaring .metal, it Is a sight to make the sinu .lain owners of Jopliu, Mo., swelj ith Joy. for no other town of the siie in 11 the world lias dona as much as this one for their industry. Of courae, nnn owners have painted ir bouutaj Oivt sees nearly a score of Areras like an American mine camp or frontier town. A Settlement, of Flowers. There is one feature of the town, how ever, that la altogether beautiful. Punta Arenas Is in the latitude of Labrador. The writer was there in May, a month corre sponding to the northern November, but the houses were radiant with flowers. Kvery house In town had window gardens filled with growing beauties, while such house yards as were to be found were dec orated in like manner. .What the sailors of the fleet will see In the midsummer month,' during which tiny aro to arrive, one may Imagine. For Us flowers, a.s well as for Its wealth of linc-eovrede iran, Puhta Arenas Is certainly the most remarkable town on the continent. The sailors whowamhr aruund the sub urbs will ttnd something of inltrest. Las Mlnas Creek Is not too far away for a vlalt to the woi ked-ovi r golden sandj. An abardoned railroad that leads to an aban doned hole in the ground will be seen. A company of capitalists built the road, fjve miles lurg. to carry, coal from the moun tains to the beach, but when the road waa finished they found that the supposed coal was lignite,, which steamships could nit use. The cemetery may also Interest some, for in the midst of it is a tall piece of a ship's mast, erected to keep in memory a number of sailors who were killed when a British warship at anchor In the offing was blown out of water, no one knows how. When they have seen the sights, it Is reasonably certain that every man of tha shore parties will hunt up the curio ahopa. They will find the skin of guanacos, pan thera and foxes In numbers, together with Indian weapons, baskets and other Im plements. Of made-up rutca the supply will be altogether insufficient. The In dians' do not bring In. enough to supply the ordinary trade, not to mention the de mand of 13.OU0 Yankee sailors. This is not to say that the ordinary demand for rugs la unsupplled. The curio dealers hire half-breed Indians living In the settlement to make up the raw fufa Into rugs such as the ,-trade demands. Of course, these rugs are of Indian make In a way. The writer saw a half-breed squaw carrying a bundle of the rugs ,to a dealer. Her face showed Iter blood, but sha was clothed In a tailor made gown and her hair was banged. When . a tourist buys Indian goods, he wants those made by. the wild or pampas Indians siiuaws who do riot wear tailor made gowns and bang their hair. "How can ' a' tourUt tell a paxnpas rug from-ono made in. town?" ' a trader waa asked. "That's easy," he replied. "Smell of the. goods. Goods from the pampas or islands always " The reader who knows blanket Indians can Imagine the remainder of tho reply. It is possible, but not probable, that the sailors will see, as they paas through the strait, soma of the unfortunate aborigines that inhabit' the smaller inlands at the south the . Yahicans. These Indiana were out a powerful tribe of most distress-full-looking people, for they were alays seen paddling to and fro, nearly naked, though In tho midst of snows and ice. The Native Stork. But in fact they were most cheerful they lived as happy Uvea as any of the red American hava ever lived, for when wild they were healthy, well fed, and Jo vial. They were always laughing and Jok ing. They even had an oral literature. With vivid imagination they invented tales that astonished the good missionaries who first went among them. The art of the red novelist waa remarkable. Unfortun ately, some of tho tales were of the sly, unprintable kind, wherein the thought of the listener supplies the point, and not the direct words of the story teller. The missionaries told the Indians that such tales led straight to eternal perdi tion. The Indians were also told that kill ing the white men who wanted to come among them as traders was also soul-de-alroylng for the slayers. Hut the Indian habit of selling the young squaws for wives was not eradicated, and tho simple minded savages, once tho traders were free to come among them, sold their daughters for wives, aa they supposed, to the white men. And these white men were sailors and proectors In some Instances the aoum of the earth. 'Hie story of the Yah gans la heart-breaking, for of the 3,ouu sturdy savages who once kept tho white tradersauut of .the t'apo Horn waters there remain less than one hundred of diseased wrntchea every adult of whom can res pond to the litany, and repeat, parrot-fash ion, the printed prayers, of the Established Church of Great Hritaln. The Strait Iteglon. As a final word alMut the straits region, let it bo said that the dangers with whluh it is supposed threaten the fleet have been greatly exaggerated. The whirling wind aciuulls and currents assaulting It, a sall the world. The currents are mighty. With stiualls and currents assaulting her, a sail ing ship In tho strait Is "between the devil and tho deep aea." But merchant steamships cargo carriers having engines of low power pass through the strait every week In the year. Even the high pooped, bluff-bowed, ill-rigged galleons of Spain mado shift to work their way regu larly through the straits region in the days after the buccaneers painted ' the Panama route a bloody red. To one who la proud ofitlio American navy, and is, familiar with the cargo carriers yf the Magellan Hues, it Is humiliating to read of the fearsome "perils" that will beset the battle fleet. Let the relatives of the 13.000 good seamen of the fleet sleep In peace. For the ships will weather the "wllllwaws" and dodge the kelp-buoyed rocks as easily as they caped tha shoal of Crartey Island. Ubaderful Stamp Storr. A stingy old maid dropped two postage stamps Into the contribution box. They were 2-cent adheslves which she had soaked off a letter leceivrd by her grand father from a friend In British Guiana In KM. The minister, knowing some'hlng ii.ir-6. in hands at about philately, sold them f following yir they changed i,aw, and a little while later the next pur chaser disposed of tlieni for U.ihiu to a German deaier, who let a Russian c.il leotor have them for $5,mi0.-New Voik Press.
