Tropical Trinidad Is Cosmopolitan Center By Lewis C. Kirby I have been asked to write a short article about the island of Trinidad, British West Indies, the land of my nativity. It is with great pleasure that I try to give the readers of the Breeze a short description of the magnificert island of tropical beauty, known as the Metropolis of the Less er Antilles. Not only is Trinidad my native land, but it is equally dear to me since I spent the first years of my Christian ministry in this field. The island is one of a group be longing to Great Britain and is the most southerly of the West India Islands. It is about 50 miles lone. varying in breadth from 30 to 35 miles. J, he Uulx of Pana separates it from the mainland of Venezueala. On a clear day one can see the mainland of South America in the distance. It is about nine or ten miles at its nearest point from what is called by the natives the Spanish Main. On nearing the island on a steam ship one sees in the far distance three cloud-like objects which soon ft Every TWO Minutes SOMEBODY'S , House Burns Yours may be the next and it takes only TWO MINUTES to protect your self by 'phoning to Chambers & Powell Agents prove to be three mountain peuks. It was these houvcnward spires that inspired Columbus, its discoverer, on one of his famous voyages, to name it Trinidad, having in mind the Trin ity. The mountains extend east and west along the northern coast clothed with stately forests, their margins fringed with the majestic bamboo and all kinds of wild fruit trees. One of my early boyhood reminiscences is that of climbing the sides of these mountains to gather mangoes and oranges as they are first grown by the hand of nature. The island has two large cities about thirty miles opart. ' The chief town, Port of Spuin, is one of the finest cities in tho West Indies. It has a population of 80,000 people. The Streets are long, wide, well paved clean, and shaded with trees. The other town is called San Fernando, a small city of about, 20,000 inhabit ants. There are also many crude villages scattered over the island. The entire population is about 300, 000 people, one third of which are East Indian coolies imported to cul tivate the sugar and cocoa planta tions. Trinidad is a cosmopolitan- center. One can find there almost anything to be round in the tropics. On this little island there are SoaniarHs Portuguese, French, English, East Indians, Chinese and negroes. Three languages are spoken, namely, broken trench (patois), Spanish and English The other nationalities speak their own languages. Among the places of interest is a beautiful park five miles in circum ference called the Grand Savanah The electric car takes one around for four cents, affording a delightful ride Another beauty spot is the Blue Basin, a clear body of fresh water, the depth of which is unknown. Perhaps the greatest wonder of this island is that remarkable phe nomenon known as the pitch lake near the village of LaBrea. It is composed of bituminous matter floating on the surface of fresh water about three miles in circumference and about eighty miles above sen level. The climnte of Trinidad is hot and moist ranging from 75 degrees to U5 degrees in the shade the year round. The most important products are cocoa, sugar cane, coffee, arrow-root, and the products made from the co conn ut. The cocoa grows on a tree the sixe of a prune tree but it has more and larger leaves. The cocoa bean, the size of a sinull lima bean, forms on the inside of a hard, fibrous pod the size of one's fist. Trinidad is called the home of the humming bird, one can see them at any time along the roud side. The island is known for its birds, its fruit and its beautiful palm and shade trees. It is tho wealthiest of the small islands, but its morals are much lower than ninny of the other islands. Beside the grade schools, there are number of paid High Schools ami two colleges on the island. The principal religion is that of Cathol icism. The island is about 500 miles south of Panama and about seven days sail from New York City. It is about 1,900 miles from that city. O. N. S. Breeze KXTKNSION SERVICE.
