When Alon zo de OJeda, accompanied by the Illustrious geographer, Amerigo Ves pucci, entered the Gulf of Mara calho In 1-ilM) lie found villages raised on piles above the water. From this circumstance he gave the name "Gulf of Venice" to the shal- j low sea inclosed between the urld pen- ' insulas of Goajlra and Parajuana. | Those were days of flowery speech and j fervid Imagination ; the comparison be- ( tween Venice the Magnificent and the homes of humble fishing Indians In the j new world struck the popular fancy , and soon the whole land was known as j Venezuela?Little Venice. The surviv ing pile-built villages north of the city of Maracalbo are si 111 of great Inter est to the ethnologist and to the trav eler with an eye for the picturesque. I Slipping out of Maracalbo at night- ; fall in a bongo manned by Parajuano j Indians, writes Herbert J. Splnden In | the American Museum Journal, we ar- ! rived at the lagoon of Slnlmalca at ten o'clock next morning. The bongo is a tint-bottomed boat propelled by snlls or poles and lit for navigating shallow waters. The lagoon of Slnlmnlca Is the largest of a series of waall brack ish hikes connected by natural canals called canos. There are three villages less much simpler and It la Interesting '?? note that bandoleers and belts made of long strings of heads art' now worn under these generous carmen I Tat tooing i* seen upon lho arms while tho face is ordinarily painted with a la rue circle upon each cheek connected hy a II no across i h ?> nose.

The (iioajiro Indians live mostly in the interior of the desert peninsula that hears their name and their war like habits have kept the white man from their territory. In two places they have come in contact with civiliza tion, one at the Catholic mission of Itio Hacha In Colombia and the other at the lagoon of I'arawnlpowa where the Venezuelan government maintains a border garrison. The mountain range west of Lake Maracalbo (the Sierra de Peri ha) Is controlled by the wild and little known Motllones. Where Buccaneers Fought. In Venezuelan histories one reads dark tales of Sir Walter Itulcigh, L'Olonals, Sir Henry Morgan and tho lesser buccaneers who ravaged the Spanish main for the glory of England and their own Immediate fortune.

AH are of the saino character, being coin posed of detached clusters of houses well out from the low shore. Man grove thickets fringe the open water where they have not been cleared away for coconut walks. . All Traffic by Canoe. There Is a tide of perhaps two feet In the lagoon and the houses rise two or three feet above the High-water mark. All traffic is by canoe and you step from the wobbly dugout upon lad ders rising from the water and find yourself on a shaky platform of small poles. You are courteously invited to enter. The rectangular houses haV* light frames and rOofs uf heavy thatch. Mats inclose flio sides and cover po tions of the Hoar. '^The fireplace is a box filled with earth. While you si: on your heels and eat toasted plantains and boiled manioc, you see through the ; latticed floor the upturned face of lit- ? tie scavenge* fishes eager to catch the i crumbs that fall. Freedom from the insect life that makes the shores unbearable may ac- , count for the custom of building houses out over the water. But it Is an : interesting fact that these lake dwell- j ers also have houses upon th?? arid plain well back from the thicket-cov ered shores. The plain Is a dreary stretch sparsely covered with acacia* and other desert shrubs. The most con spicuous of these Is the dlvl-dlvl from the seeds of which a valuable dye and i tanning substance is extracted. The ' houses in the desert are mere roofs '? upon poles and as often as not the ' hammocks are swung under an un- j usually large tree. The natives take evident delight in keeping open house and In living al fresco. How tha Indians Dram. The dress affected by the women at the present time Is a voluminous gown resembling a partially deflated balloon. In ancient times the dress was dotibt- ? mi bo was destroyed. Today out? see* at the latter silo a few modern huts built round the old plaza. Paved street* can he traced out into the bush mid ruined walls enter the water* Cf the encroaching lake. Only a graceful bell tower remains intact from former times. Lake Maracaibo is surrounded by a coastal plain extremely dry in the north and given over to cactus and thorny shrubs, but humid in the south and clothed In heavy forest. The sierras rise abruptly from the edge of this plain and to great heights. From the southern end of the lake the Andes seem an Impassable wall with their forested slopes and fogbound crests. And indeed the trails that sidewind deep gorges and climb lofty ridges, only to drop again to the roaring stream, find passes In the barren para mo some 14,000 feet above the sea. Tho transitions from ono type of en vironment to another are sudden and startling. A direct but Httle-uAed trail for Merida leaves the ? unhealthful lake port of Bobures, passes through small savannas and stretches of dripping forest to Torondoy, a coffee center, and then ascends the Torondoy river to its very source In the paramo of Mucumpate. In the coffee rejrion the mountainsides have been cleared of for est and only the wldespreading bucari trees retained as shade for the tender nhrubs. In February these bucari trees are masses of vermilion blos soms. Of Course. "Ever made any money in stocks?" "Yes, quite a lot." "What did you do with it?"
