Lost Trade in Sugar and Tobacco. The population of the Azores la about 245,000. the number of Inhabl* t h i) ( h having changed hut little In the iu?t century, and, If anything. having diminished. This fact I# probably due more to various political and social conditions than to climatic, agrlcul* lural, or other condition* of the Islands. In the early days the Portu guese literally "raised cane" on the Inlands, and established a large sugar trade with Kngland and other conn tries. Tobacco and fruits/ were also produced In great quantities, hut, with the discovery and settlement of Brazil and other SquUi American countries, Portugal rather discouraged produc tion In the Azores In order to aid her colonies In South America. With the sugar and tobacco trade snatched from them, the Aaoreana began the cultiva tion of the vine, and the making of wine and other liquors became one of the chief Industries of the Islnmts. The population consists mainly of. Portuguese, Moorish, and Flemish set tlers, with a few negroes and a fair sprinkling of Kngllsh settlers, i . ;< Novel Apartment Building. A San Francisco womau realty oper ator has planned a novel building. Her Idea Is to utilize a steep bluff 350 feet high. On It she proposes to erect a series of apartments running In stair Htep fashion from the street down to the water of San Francisco bay. It Is proposed to have each apart ment equipped with Its own elevator. ( entrance, pergola and roof garden. , with a glass-covered Inclined elevator j connecting all with the private Wharf ; for Ashing and boating. Other fen- j I tures projected are a specially warmed , sea-water bathing tank and glass In- J closed and n heated playground for children on the beach. Steam heat, i hot water, laundry, garage, billiard, <;lnb and ball rooms are to be provided as matters of course. The site com mnrids a fine view oUl e (Jolden Gate j and the sea outside, according to the j prospectus, and It is said the apart- ! ments. which will rent at a prohibitive (for most of us) price, are already | under lease, even before the building j has been started. ?
