Alabaster Cilii In Spairx. t *J ? f I?, A Street in Cadiz. GAIM/< has made lip Its mlud to be equal to the opportunities with which the afkrtMbe-war world abounds. We shall hear of Cadi/. In many ways, says The Christian Science Monitor. It has taken note oT (lie new determination of the northern ports such ns Vigo, Bilbao, and ttotue others, and of Oporto of the Portuguese, to make a big forward movement, and, Spalh generally being In an advantageous position in the matter of maritime commerce, it con ceives a more brilliant future opening out for It In the new world conditions than ever it had dreamed of. Vigo, with the connivance of the Americans, it is understood, Is about to make a strong bid for the carrying trade with North America, and as the main port of entry into Europe from the upper half of the American continent. Itiit Cadi/, has had an advantage in the past with regard to the South, and hopes not only to maintain it, but to strenghten it. She has been, in effect, a great receiving and distribut ing center, dealing with the South Antttrican states, and spreading the goods she received over Portugal and all Spuin. She has flourished, and she has done well by herself in every way. But with Cadiz as with practically every other place in Spain, there has in modern times been a decline and a recovery. It Is believed now that the recovery will be great. The New Movements. z Cadi/, starts the new period with a flue new equipment In the matter of her harbor. The new Reina Victoria quay will astonish the commercial men and travelers who go there after a long absence. The San FeHpe break water ha* been extended, and, there have been dredging and widening oper ations, so that capacity and accom modation ore now much greater than ihey used to be. Big liners may now bertli themselves well, and ns soon as they are hitched up they will And the newest electric traveling craues and all the most up-to-date port ap pliances ia operation. So Cadir. bids the traders come, and with Vigo, Seville, Bilbao and Barce lona it helfw Spain to make u new challenge to the world in maritime matters, and this she most certainly does. No country has such a tine sea hoard and one so advantageously sit uated. The Spaniards have thought of the maritime possibilities of their country before now, but they are think ing of it intensely in the iifw condi tion of the world economics. Already far more ships are calling at Cadiz than before the peace?though these mere callers do not amount to much, in (he oltJ prewar days the Hamburg American line established u regular monthly service from there to IVmam huco. Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and San tos; one or two French passenger lines Mere making regular use of lite port, nnd Hie English bonfs did so regularly.

Never go to Cadiz by rail. Better far, if you ar? In inljj-Spain and must use the roads or the tedious ferrocurll, go to Seville or over to Tangier In Africa and make one of those little voyages that are regularly available, In order to come, upou Cadiz by way of the sea. It is j generally acknowledged that there is im other sea approach In the world that Is so beautiful us this. Cadiz at such times and in such clr- I cunrttanees^ls a glorious picture In white and blue. She rises up frgjn the sea on a small platform of limestone rock which only a very narrow isth-.l m,us holds to the mainland. In a ma jestic silver beauty the houses with their azotcas, or Hat roofs, seem, to rise like a fairy city above the deep blue of the sea, their mlradores or view towers surmounting them. All are heavily coated with whitewash fre quently renewed. Always White and Clean. Thus the city Is always white, quite smokeless, and is kept spotlessly clean. It glistens in the sun against the blue Andaluslan sky, with waters lapping It nearly all around. The poets and the descriptive writers ltave almost ex hausted themselves In their use of fine adjectives to describe Its beauty and yet they feel they have fulled. Span lards call It their "tazlta de plata," or silver dish: some of them say It Is more like a "palaclo de plata" beauti fully chased, and from another aspect they liken It to a great alabaster ship floating out upon the waters. No term* are too strong in which to speak of Cadiz thus seen from the sea, for she is indeed vory beautiful, veritably "a white pearl set Id a crown of sapphires and emeralds." The Interior of no city could com pletely match such an outside view, but yet Cadlzi within. Is good and pleasant also, and is always extremely clean. But It Is a very practical place*, and though It has Its cathedral with ? spire rising over all, It has little In the way of art?one of the oldest cities i of Spain though it be?to attract the visitors who need It for their linger ing at any place. It l? a place to wonder at. to tarry at for but a little while, and then to leave, knowing It full well to be unforgettable. But In the new days of traveling that are be ginning. no person who wanders toward the south of Spain should, through neglect, iniss seeing Cadiz from the water. It will live In his memory when he ha* forgotten many pictures. It will hold its place in his esteem even when lie comes face te face with the incomparable Bay of Naples. Few Saw Historic Act.
