V4 NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—Through the jun- gles of western Brazil, not far from the Bolivfan border, American engineers and constructors are driving a rallroad. It will be only 250 miles long when completed, but 1t will be of importance to the whole north- ern part of Bolivia and western Brazll, for it Wil open up vast reglons to commerce and permit the development of the rubber industry, which has been backward there # because of the difficulty of transportation This railroad, the Madeira & Mamore, is belng bulit Lo conneet two.parts of a river The Madeira is tons all the way up to Porto Velho, which 43 almost 2,600 miles from the mouth of the Amason. Five miles aboye Porto Velho ave the falls of San Antonio, and for more than 20 miles, as Y0u o up, there are falls and rapids whieh make the river unnaviga- Dle except for wmall craft, and in short sections. Then you come to deep water again, and for 760 miles up the Madeira and Mamore rivers you have enough water te float a ship drawing twenty-five feet, until ifdeed you almost reach the base of the Andes. Story of a Returned Mun. A ‘W. Cheste: & civil engineer; whose Pome is in Nashville, Tenn., but who has Wpent years in raliroad work in the tropics, Teturned from the Madelra region tte other after working Almost a year with the Evoy corps of the -Madelra & Mamore way. Sickpess—biackwater fever—was the cause of his quitting, and he cannot go back there because the American doctors in charge of the hospital the railroad com- fpany bas bullt told him that to return would be fatal. Mr, Chester says that if it owere not for the fever aud other diseases at one 1s likely to run int working there “Salaries for chiets of lare $300 & month, and camp foremen get from $60 0 $65 a month—-two or three times the pay In this couniry. Then in the vigable for boats of 10,000 | “The best of every kind of food obtain- able is furnished, the best grade of Cali- fornia fruits and vegetables, canned, of course, are served. Many steers are im- ported and slaughtered at Porto Velho, so that there is an abundance of fresh meat it you do not get too far away from head- quarters, and there is an ice plant with & capacity of two tons a day. “Only the men higher up in rank are allowed to have their families there, and there are few of these. They don't want women down there. The country is bad enough for white men, I's a Hard Job, “Surveying down there is a pretty hard {Job. The line follows the river bank, never golng more than ten or fifteen miles away from it. There ure store-houses on the river at every fifty miles. From these we would take mules and provisions. Horses 't stand the climate. he surveying parties are kept supplied by pack from these store-houses. We might have to cut lines out twenty- thirty or forty miles from the river, but all provisions are carried out from the store-house as a base. | "In a party ere usually ten or twelve Americans, two men for each job, so that the work is not likely to be held up by sickness, and about fifty natives. It Is not | possible to use more than that number of natives, for their business s cutting away Jjungle, and any more would be supertiuous. Sometimes the supplies are not forth- | coming.

Monkey meat (astes Something like squirrel. “Then you have wild pig and deer, and there is the taplr, or ant eater, which is dible. They also have a beast about the size Of @ cow, but which swims in the water, and which they call the anter down there. Its meat is like beef. “Then there is a wild turkey that is absolutely black, with red comb, which has an excellent flavor. There 1s another bird that' they call thre jachoo, which s about the size of a hen, Is the color of a part- ridge and bas a big bill, but is rather tough. trains Work in the Ju “Well, when the tail is cut the mext thing 1 to make & camp and then You cut feeling in the dark. You cannot get on a hilitop and look around. “The heat s so iAtense in the jungle. There is no sun and the fellows come out of the woods after a few weeks as white as a sheet. The long walks are the worst feature about that work. “One great annoyance in the jungle is that you are apt to run out of tobacco. You can drink a little liquor, in fact the doctors tell you it i beneficial It not in- dulged In to excess, but if you drink much it is far worse than in this country. In these surveylng parties you have to wear a heavy flannel shirt all the time; it you don’'t you will catch & very hard cold. “None of the camps s ever attacked by Indlans, though there have been cases in which one or two men have gone trom camp and never been heard of. Sometimes they find thelr bones long afterward with an arrow beside them. “The Indians are afraid of anything that will shoot, consequently no white man ever goes about without a revolver. If you carry one the probabllity is that you will never have to use it; but if you don't carry one the Carapamas will get sure, though they never atiack a party of more than two white men if the latter are armed. Features of Local Life, “Usually the only thing seen of the Carapunas is when they o 6 out of the river bank to meet the rubber bataloas com- ing down the river. They sell skins, mostly In exchange for cartridges. they string about their necks, not to have ready for use, because they don't use firearms, out as ornaments. “Those bataloas are big boats and can be taken all the way from Bolivia down within fifteen miles of Porto Velho, where are the falls of San Antonlo and then you ha to get out and shove or pull the boat through the stones on one side. Going up there are lots of thése places where you have to get out and walk, but yom can shoot most of the rapids coming down. “As to the difficulty of transportation up the river under the present clreum- stances, you may get some idea from the cost of thingd up the river. For instance, t Jacl Parana, about fifty-six miles above Porto Velho, & bale of hay costs 0. A bottle of dollar whisky brings 3. ““The contractors get all the money that is made from the sale of things, except 5 per cent that goes to the company.

The lumber was imported from the states, and this {s much cheaper than to try to use the timber down there. There are all sorts of beautiful hardwood trees about, and they have put up one saw mill, but they can do better importing lumber and paying duty, owing to the cost of getung that hardwood timber ready to use."

Really, however, the jumping bean is one of the wonders of the vegetable kingdom. In the Yaqui river country of western and northern Mexico there grows a bush which looks very much like the ordinary coffee bush. It ranges from three to four feet In height and bears hundr soms that are a soft olive green unt before they ripen, when they turn a buff gra Each blosscm holds two fertile secds, and a third, or living sced, which s the of a small, exceedingly actlve which becomes a beautifully colos when It e trom its i The seed of the “Carpo-Capsa Saltitans’ (Jumping bean) are planted in January and always mild in the low- qui country they blossom in May.

Placed in a piece of dried palm leaf or bark they mdke a noise not unlike the pattermg of rain on a tin roof, which they is very to sleep. Put Ih a w r paper box and placed on a table afflicted with insomnia and the soothing effect of a dozen of these llving beans jumping about ia the box will be truly marvelous, say the Yaquis.
