The First View of La Pas la Startling
to tha Tourists
James Bryce in .his book "South
America" gives n picturesque descrip
tion of the approach to La Taz, Bolivia.
He tells how the traveler who nears
La Tax has a surprise In front of him
If he Is coming fron Lake Tlticaca,
the usual route from the coast At a
point 13,000 feet above sea level the
railway from Guayaquil meets the rail
way from Antofagasta. 400 miles 'away
to the south. "From this point, called
Vliicha, the route turns eastward to
ward the Cordillera, the llneclimbing
slowly in wide sweeps overthe dusty
and shrubless plateau on 'whose thin
grass sheep nre browsing. There Is
not a house visible, arid the smooth
slope seems to ruu "right up against
the mountain waH heyond. Where can
La Pas be? askthe traveler.
"Presently, liowever. he perceives
strings of llamas and donkeys and
wayfarers on foot moving along the
slope toward n point where they all
suddenly vanish and are no more seen.
Then a spot Is reached where the rail
way Itself seems to eud between a few
sheds. He gets out and walks a few
yards to the east and then suddenly
pulls up, with a start, on the edge of a
yawning abyss.
"Right beneath htm, 1,500 feet be
low, a gray, red roofed city fills the
bottom of the gorge and climbs up Its
sides on both hanks of the torrent that
foams through it. Every street and
square, every yara ana giiruen, is mm
out under the eye us If on a map, and
one almost seems to hear the rattle of
vehicles over stony pavements coming
faintly up through the thin air."
Fire In Montreal.
Montreal, June 23. As the result of
one of the worst fires in the history
of the city, four firemen are dead un
der collapsing wall. The property loss
is a quarter of a million.
Scotchman's Sad Loss.
"As the waiter laid down my five
pence change." writes C M. in the
Glasgow News, "I noticed that the top
most coin was not of British currency.
It was. in fact, a Froueh penny. I atr
tracted his attention, therefore, with a
motion of my forefinger and indicated
the pile of coins with a wave of my
hand, which was meant to any "What
Is this yon have given me?" The wait
er bent gracefully forwnrd, scooped up
my change with a practiced hand and
with n polite '1 thank you, sir." moved
swiftly away. Nest time I'll give the
language of signs a miss."
