. System of Lotteries
One feature of South American
life especially noticeable in. Buenos
Aires is the system of lotteries. The
sale of the tickets is a government
monopoly, and the lottery ticket
shops are as common as drug stores
along the streets. The winners are
announced every ten days, the prizes
awarding ranging from about $10,000
down. But as only a portion of the
money' paid i returned In prizes,
the - profits are very substantial. Of
course the chances of winning any
thing, in view of the great number
of subscriptions, are small, but optim
ism is a well-rooted trait in South
Americans, and the losers always
come back with more hope and more
pesos. -.""
' Where Everybody Hisses
Other customs in Buenos Aires
strike an American as amusing. To
another nerson. for instance, it;
is customary to make a loud hissing

The ; joke had its effect It was
Monday noon when a-: local young
mh told a young lady that her beau
had married another girl. She believed
it so strong' that she began crying
and went to bed. Another young lady
tried to console her by saying, "I
have never seen a man I'd cry about."
The answer was, "Oh, but you've,
never been in love." She learned later
that it was only a joke, and I'm
glad it was, aren't you?

looks at the conductor and : hisses.
To descrjbe all ; the interesting
things' in Buenos Aires would require
an entire volume. The fashionable
residential district, Palermo, con
tains a great number of palatial and
elaborate homes, all built on the
Spanish or occasionally French, style.
The agricultural museum, the botani
cal and zoological gardens, and the
government buildings, are all modern
and attractive. The spirit of national
pride in such things is very high in
Argentina.
We were in Buenos Aires ten days,
which was sufficient for most of us.
Th weather there during July is
very cold, with a good deal of mist
and rain. The latitude is the same
as that of southern North Carolina,
and their winter weather is some
what similar, except that extreme
cold and snow are uncommon.
' World's Foremost Coffee Port
On the return we stopped at San
tos, Brazil, for a cargo of coffee.
The distance is abouf fifteen hundred
miles by sea north of Buenos Aires,
and the four days trip makes a de
cided change in climate. Santos is
situated inside the tropics, with a
warm, or rather hot, climate all the
year, and , a swampy location makes
(the temperature additionally un
pleasant. It is not considered health
ful for Americans. But in spite of
these drawbacks, its position as ship
ping port for the great part of the
coffee grown in Brazil makes Santos
a thriving city. It is the foremost
coffee port in the world, sending out
millions of bags yearly.
The manner of loading the coffee
on ships is as modern as anything of
the kind in the United States. The
coffee warehouses are located side
by side in a double row for perhaps
a mile along the dock. Running the
entire length of the row of ware
houses, about thirty feet above the
ground, is a conveyor belt, on which
the bags of coffee are fed from the
warehouses. At intervals along the
belt are placed chutes leading into
the ships being loaded. When the, ma
chine is going at full capacity, the
bags are dropped in all the ship's
hatches at once, several hundred a
minute. Other belts run underground
to carry coffee from one warehouse
to the other.
Up A Mountain Side
While in Santos we took the train
up to Sao Paulo, two hours and a
half up in the mountains. The city
itself is interesting, with its beauti
ful parks and public buildings, but
the ride up is more so. At first tne
train passes through a lowland of
swamps and banana plantations, then
befrms a chmb ud the mountains. At
one place the grade is so steep that
the rain is hauled up by means of a
steel cable and pulley, one engine
pulling down on another track. At fre
auent distances the train stops to
make a new coupling. The total rise
is 2800 feet between Santos and
Sao Paulo, most of which is make
in a single stretch of about ten miles
of steep grade. The railroad was built
by English interests, and is one oi
the test works of engineering in the
country. From Santos our ship went
to Rio,-where: we made the last stop
before starting back on the long run
to New. York. . v.-.-.- ,'r
Opportunities Overestimated u r
I have been 'asked' so ottny ques

American- -young, men, - there, that-' it

impressions -of. the country already

has been said about the tremendous
'opportunities for young men in South
- America.: From a limited observation,
and from' conversation with a num-
berrof business men. Well acquainted
with the field, this advice seems to
have been overestimated, or at least
misinterpreted. It' is true that there
are many : openings there, but they
are for large-scale business only. The
opportunities there are of two sorts:
