Montevideo, or Monte, as 11 Is usually culled, ts Immense natural resources. Its harbor Is In a well sheltered road stead, the only disadvantage being that tblps . are compelled to anchor some enms - distance two to three miles from ths shore. Rapid launches cover this distance In IS minutes, landing visitors at a long wide Jetty, which makes for the Montevideans an excel- i lent promenade. Close to Is a new con crete dock In course of construction - which will be able to accommodate, when finished, the largest ships fre quenting South Atlantic waters. Monte Is one of those South American places sacred to the revolutionist, and does In fart hsve a revolution on an average every three years. One la apt ,k to poke fun at South American revolu tionists, but a walk through the street of Montevideo quickly convinces one that -the humor is best seen at a dis tance Here and there on the sides of ' w ii i i hi I i ii i r. a How We Largalne d at Montevideo fourth city of the world, whilst Its population of between 2,000,000 and ,0(io,000 makes it the most important city in South America.

In times of Deace Monte has an ex eel lent electric car service, yet when the breath of revolution is in the air. . the companies prefer to put their old - fashioned horse cars on the streets In place of the well appointed electric cars making a scene incongruous in tha extreme. ' With regard to buildings It is only to be expected that Monte is iar Denina ' the times. Yet surrounding the Grand Plaza there are several notable build ings, such as the cathedral, an Imposing edifice of York stone. On the opposite aide of the plaza may be found the ad ministrative buildings and the ofTicial residence of "el presidents." Every , evening a tine government band plays In this yast square, the government not unwisely holding the view that by keep ing the people amused they keep them from thoughts of revolution, thus lncl- ' dentally keeping more secure the posi- - lions and salaries of the official staff. Some distance up the river Plate and on the other side Is Buenos Aires (good air), which Is reached from Monte by faat night steamers. Despite the enor rnoua width of the river Plate estuary (land on both aides is usually out of atcht from the steamer), It Is difficult indeed for the English and American mallboats to find a channel. Any ship drawing over 25 feet would find a pass age almost impossible. Up till quite recently Buenos Aires had no docks, fcut this defect Is now well amended and mallboats catv have both entrance and egress at all states of the tide. . Buenos Aires in point of area is the equipped with sword and revolver, neither of which does he hesitate to use. A criminal has but a poor show, and even a poor witness may fare as badly. Should an Argentlno witness an as- senor." This Is because of a rather pleasant habit Argentine has of lock ing up the witness as well as the pris oner until the first hearing of the cose. Foreigners, Ignorant of this at first, very quickly learn from experience that the policy o Ignorance is the paying one In Buenos Aires, rina Boulevards. The Avenlda de Msyo, Buennu Aires' fine boulevard. Is, like the Avenlda at Rio de Janeiro, second to none In the world. Cut out at enormous expense by the government, It at once brought the city up to greater prominence In the commercial world, liere mny be found the great storea. restaurants and thea tres for which the city Is so deservedly noted. Prominent among the stores is the "Swastika" the great American tore, patroiilzed not only by muny of the 40,000 English and American resi dents, but by the native Argentlnos as well. American "llbrcrlas" or book stores, where all the best known home papers and magaxlnes may be purchased aro not uncommon. During the theatre season operas can be seen performed by excellent com panies. The most popular theatres, however, aro the vaudeville shows, the vaudeville drawing the best crowd and stsgtng the best shows being strongly reminiscent of the Koiles Bergcres at Paris. Indeed much of the later archi tecture and laying out of the city Is after the Parisian model. The officers of the toroedo flotilla will likely have experienced the Joys of a battle of flowers at Palermo park. where literally thousands of carriages rilled with gay parties of men and women may be seen driving round th spacious lake on any gala night.
