Tt was built by the same company and for the same purposes—to unload American export merchandise and to reload with bananas. Puerto Barrios is a larger town than Tela and the native element in it seemed much cleaner and better kept than at the latter place.

Puerto Barrios is Guatemala’s only seaport on the Atlantic side. On the Pacific are several places where steamers contact the shore by means of tenders, although thete are no hatbors. A narrow gauge railroad connects Barrios, “as it is usually called, with Guatemala City, the capital of the republic. That road forms the chief commercial artery of the country, 200 Miles in 16 Hours The distance to Guatemala City is only 200 miles, but it takes over 10 hours to make the journey. At first the railroad rins for many miles, at ‘&@ low altitude, through @ forest of jungle and banana trees. After a few hours the road begins to climb the mountains, running in a general di- rection up the Motagua river. The road leaves the river many times in jan attempt to find better going, but it returns to the river just as often, apparently afraid of getting lost in the jungle. Big, clumsy alligators rest on sandbars across the river. On our side they até seldom seen, the loud engine in front of the train hav- ing disturbed their naps. During the last two hours of the ride the rail- road twists, turns and slides through tunnels and jumps back and forth across perilous chasms, canyons and deep ravines. Looking ahead of the engine at the spiderweb trestles and some of them two hundred feet high, gives a creepy sensation. -1A question sometimes arises in one’s mind as to whether the engine car- ries a lucky number, or is going to ‘be caught in the spider's web and be- come a heap of wreckage in the bot- tom of @ rocky river.

He had with him a man and his wife, both past middle age, who had studied anthropology under him sim- ply for the pleasure they found in the study as amateurs, Their chief interest lay in the acquisition and preservation of cer- jtain old Indian dialects which might ;00n become lost. This will be done {by means of phonographic records. Their equipment was very elaborate, conaining, among other things, gaso- line motors to produce the necessary motive power. The whole is to be carried on donkey's and Indians’ - backs into the mountainous hinter- land of northwestern Guatemala. Anthropology evidently demands much. determination, perseverance and hardship. It has come more and more to the front as a live issue for many! May good fortune follow their daring undertaking. To Church en Sunday On @ nice, sunny Sunday morning it seemed proper to go to the protestant church around the corner. There must be other such churches in the city because this one is called the “central” one. Services began at 9 o'clock and lasted until 11:15 a. m. The auditorium hed a capacity of four or five hundred and there were very few unoccupied seats. More than half of those attending had distinctly Indian features. The Spanish origin of the rest was just as plainly marked, except on a few with lighter skin and hair—Germans, no doubt. The min- ister was among the latter of course (Pastor Sullenberger”).

Served Midnight Lunch At midnight everybody was served @ tamalé—not so hot as the Mexican kind, but peppery enough. It would be sacrilege not to start the New Year with this dish. At midnight, also, a series of blagts from large can- non were heard. After that e crowded into Central Park to listen to an eighty-piece orchestra playing national and German music. Things and thoughts of German origin are not displeasing—but that is a matter not to be put in writing! Any more than the sympathy for Spanish reb- els! An unusual and interesting custom, met with in both South and Central America, is that of ringing church bells in the night. At certain un- earthly hours between midnight and dawn a whole battery of church bells goes suddenly into action. The great- est effort seems to be at 3 a. m. The nolse seems intended to arouse every- one who is not asleep in the grave- yard. And the reason? Several have been proposed. One is that it is good religious practice to wake er you still are alive, devotional exercises beforehand, explained by the padres, comes near- est the truth. Difficult for Strangers The custom makes it difficult for the stranger who is not accustomed to having his dreams interrupted. The Mohammedan mueszins carry program by calling out their “Allah hu Akbar” at unseemly hours. However, there can out a somewhat similar be no question as to the purely re- ligious significance in this, for it is a up and give thanks because. you are still alive.

Perhaps the fect that some people have to go to work early 4nd should be called in time to attend to their a5 foreign visitor from the north. The shock was not caused entirely from seeing the separation nor from the fact that the women were in such majority that they took up two of the three sections of seats divided by the \two main aisles. There was some- thing far more disturbing. The mem- ory tevided a somewhat similar ar- rangement which seemed quite proper when some of us, who are now old, were very young. But there was some logical sense to it at that time—and jplace, The women were seated to the left in the church. Here, they went to the right! The men were the goats! Soon after opening the service, the audience was divided into Sunday school classes. The Sunday school, ineluding the men’s class from which these observations were made, lasted an hour. The rest of the time was taken up by questions from the min- ister to the re-assembled classes, a short sermon on the day’s lesson ahd the singing of a few songs. The only time when a foreigner without full mastery of Spenish could feel that he was taking his due part in the service was when a papsr baz was passed from seat to s2at. not use plates for the co! day's text for Sunday sermon was: “En el principio era el verbo”—Evangelio segun fan Juan.
