IK: CARACAS, VENEZUELA'S CAPITAL i -- Special Correspondence.! ' , fracas, Venezuela, . Dec. 20.-r-Thls city, to which the eyes of the civilized world have been so long directed, is one of the prettiest towns on the west ern hemisphere. "At present, "however, it la more interesting on account of its being, a, storm center of political and diplomatic activity than on account of its beauty. Dally and nightly It is the scene of patriotic demonstrations, the populace Joining in fervid out breaks against what are terpied the high handed proceedings of derma ny and Great Britain. ' , Should, worst come to worst and the -allies, as is feared, in some quarters, attempt an invasion of the capital in . order to capture Castro and hold him asm hostage for payment of their claims, it Is safe to say they will have some desperate work before Caracas is reach ed. The city is only six miles through the center of the mountains Inland from La Guayra; but thlrty-slx miles by the old Spanish road, ove which the ma rines of the combined force must go to take the capital, should that eventual ity come to pass. Sixteen miles up from the coast along this road, at times broad and smooth, at times shelving to preci pices, is a narrow pass, almost impass able for a storming party. It is said And, believed by. Venezuelans that 100 natives, knowing the country, could hold, that pass against 5,000 men. , .' Like all other South American towns, Caracas Is laid out In the most method ical manner in regular squares of equal Area and equal frontage, divided, by narrow streets running lengthwise from east to west and from north to south. 1 The cross streets, the principal avenues of the city, are made of concrete pave ment, with sidewalks of cement, while the less prominent thoroughfares are paved in rough stones. The streets are numbered from the Plaza Bolivar, a beautiful park In the center of the town. , There la no variety and no display of taste in the architecture so far as dwellings are concerned, each .bouse be ing exactly like Its neighbor and all -being built in the same way and. of -the " THUS GOVERNMENT PALACE.

Next to him the Ven ezuelans have .the greatest reverence for George Washington, and in the sec ond principal square, In. Caracas bave erected in his honor a statue of almost equal magnificence to that of Bolivar The pride of the city, however, is the beautiful tomb, of Bolivar. This tomb was originally in Trinity church, but In 1870 was changed into a nation al pantheon. , In addition to the re mains of Bolivar the pantheon contains those of all the presidents of the repub lic from 1S70 and a few of the leading men. American enterprise has made Itself felt throughout the city and Is largely responsible for the progress Caracas has made in recent years. There are two - American telephone companies, and an American corporation operates the I "".ivnr Trsr ay compary. , WhVe Ca-M.- 3 ;j r , t V..e to;'.

" Her Latent Break. My , six-year-old girl, is a a awful chatterbox," said a broker, "and the worst of it Is that when we have guests at the house she is continually .making breaks. of the worst sort breaks that tend to rattle the dry bones of the' fam ily 'skeleton in the closet Recently when we had company at dinner she allowed her tongue to run away with her, as usual, the result of which was that, she very much, embarrassed both her father and mother, although the guests, I am free to say, seemed de lighted. I had a very serious talk with her and. impressed upon her, or tried to, that she must not tell any family se cret.: The next time we bad company she was permitted to come to the table only bjr promising that she wouldn't ut ter a word. She behaved beautifully and had nothing to say until the des sert was about to be taken away. Then her lips began to quiver, and finally she burst Into tears. 'Why what's the mat tee, darling?' her mother asked. i 'I-!-I want some more ice cream. If that Isn't a family secret!' she. Waited between sobs." Philadelphia Record. Natrltloaa Value of Ojretera. The popular belief that the oyster is a most nutritious article of diet does not rest upon any scientific basis. The oys ter as a food could not satisfy the de mands of the human body. While the oyster,' when not stewed, is very? pala table, wholesome end easily assimilat ed by weak, impaired stomachs, If can not be contended for a moment that it contains such elements 'and nutrition as may , he found to. beans, rice or potatoes. Thewris very little, if any, fatmaking or muscle building material in th oys food for the brain, but a man reduced to an exclusive diet of oysters would soon find himself deficient in adipose tissue and in those elements that go to make up physical force and vitality in the human body. , ' RoanlBl'e Memory. The composer -of "II Barblere dl Slvlglla" was blessed with a not very retentive memory, especially for names of persons Introduced to him, a forget fulness which was frequently the cause of much merriment whenever Rossini was among company, : One day be met Bishop, the English composer. Rossini knew the face well enough and at once greeted him. "Ah, my dear Mr. ," but he could progress no further. . To convince him that he had not forgotten him Rossini commenced whistling Bish op's glee, -" When the Wind Blows,'! a compliment which "the English Mo zart" recognized and would as readily have heard" as bis less musical sur name.

This will give you a visual angle that may be used on any levl surface, and if, as has been suggested the ground on your side of the river be flat you may "lay off! a corresponding distance on It. To do this you have only to hold your head perfectly steady, after get ting the angle with your hat brim, 'sup porting your chin with youc band, if necessary, and turn slowly around until your back is toward the river. , Now, take careful note of where your bat brim cuts the . level surface of the ground as you look over the. latter, and from -where you stand to-that point will, be the width of . the river, a dis tance that may readily be measured by stepping.

When any Spanish sovereign dies, the body is at once submitted to the pros ess of fosslllzatlon, nor can it be placed in the royal pantheon until the body has been absolutely turned into stone. Curiously enough, the period required for fosslllzatlon varies considerably.. : Some' royal bodies hrfVe become solidi fied in a very short period, while other's have taken years before the' fosslllza tlon took place. It took exactly thlr teen years to convert the body of the1 father of Alfonso XIII. of 'Spain into stone. - 1 v-!z v.:-' Rtdlas Awajr With th Bride.
