Scene on the Magdftlena Rlvtr.
Y ? <fHB trip by the Magdalena
I river from the Sea to Bogota,
the capital of Colombia, la one
of the most Interesting, the
can find, the London
Time*. The time of tfftfryage Varies
from nine to foortuigNMlflfi, according
to whether It la made W the Wet or
dry season.
During the trip one ascends from
sea level to 9,000 feet above It ; there
are three separate train, and two
steamer Journeys; the ncenery varies
from sweltering forest to wide, airy i
pastures, wheatflelds and ragged blue
mountain peaks; the dwellings of the
people chunge from Insouciant, paltn
featched huts to the Imposing Spanish
style stone mansions of the ancient
city of Bogota.
Puerto Colombia, with the turquoise
Caribbean washing Its ieet, is a port
by courtesy. Steamers call there for
the convenience of Barranquilla. Wide
spread, sunny, flower-bedecked Bar
ranquilla sits upon the bank of the
Magdalena, ahd continually and pas
sionately discusses the question of wa
ter transport, for It can have no direct
access to the sea until the Magdalena,
bar Is conquered.
From Bnrranquilla one takes a river
steamer to La Dorada. On the flat
bottomed river boat, drawing only a
foot or two of water, travelers must
provide themselves with bedding; the
steamship company lends a canvas cot.
but nothing else, and the Barranquilla
hotels specialize In providing the vis
itor for Bogota with the outfit? ^a pil
low of tree-cotton, a couple of tiny
'sheets, a mosquito netting "bar," a
couple of little towels. No other bed
ding Is needed, for the heat Is stifling r
but the judicious also take table deli
cacies and everything needed In the
way of beverages, with the exception
of coffee, of which there is a constant
and most excellent flow.
Soon the forest closes down to the
edge of the water, as unconquered, as
dominant, as In. Quesada's day, 400
years ago. Quesadn took two years to
ascend the river to Bogota, the sur
vivors of his party arriving ragged and
starving; the marvel Is that a single
one of those adventurers reached the
plains. ^
Scene of Great Beauty.
The Jade of banana leaves, whipped
Into rags by the wind, the glaucous
green of lilies, the emerald of the
palms, the Jasper of the great forest
giants, is only broken here and there
by a trail of flowering vine or the rare
sight of n high-perched mauve or gold
orchid ; where open spaces occur there
nre low-growing bushes covered with
flowers, and one sees a host of butter
flies and birds, but usually there is ,
nothing but the river and the green
wall of forest. When rain falls In a
straight sheet even the forest Is blotted
out and the alligators and turtles of 1
t lie margins are Invlslblo until the sun
reappears.
When a stop is made for wood or to
deliver merchandise to some little trad
ing point the voutlet for . some rich
region producing sugar, hides, coffee or
tobacco, all the village comes to the
little wharf, guns are flred and the
church bell is rung In the steamer's
honor; there are a number of such
places below Puerto Berrlo. Puerto
Berrio Is Important as the starting
point for the wonderful Cauca Valley,
worth some trouble to reach and pos
sessing a perpetual June climate, a
wealth of fruit and flowers, a fertile
soli and mountains sown with predOiis
minerals.
At La Dorada, where the blue moun
tains have suddenly come nearer and
turn green and purple, there Is little
but a row of modest cottages, and the
railway sheds; but here is the train
for Beltran, the line leaving the river,
and traversing a wonderful country of
bright green pastures with sturdy
herds gracing, fine lusty trees and hill*
that rise grotesquely, topped with fan
tastic rocks like bettleraented castles
of the middle agea. All tlfts region 1*
famous for Its tobacco, Ind has ex
ported It to Europe for over a hundred
years. The train stops at Honda, where
4a* look* far down at the rapids; the.
town Is bright and pretty, the center
of m gold mining Industry, aad here,
by the way, one buys four cigars of
excellent tobacco for the equivalent of
i There la another halt at Martqalta,
where Quesadn died, and where today
an Kngllph .company has established
one of the terminals of an aerial tram
way actoss the broken couqtrjr, forests
and mountains Into the <5auqa valley.
The tall standards march along Into
the distance almost ly directly west; I
believe that the enterprise has been, aa
It deserves, very successful ? I heurd
of a ?and pinno having been carried
triumphantly by this air line.,
Tralna Go Slowly.
About five hours Is occupied by the
train journey and then Beltran |is
reached with its waiting steamer for
the rio arriba. The steamers for. the
upper river are small, the dlning-tables
set out ou i li f r open uinin uCfk In picnic
style. There are only six cabins on
Jhls little boat, and most of the score
of passengers sleep outside under a
sapphire velvet sky set wlth.a million
diamonds. This sky seems very close
above; the air is soft, full of wood
land scents; #11 night one hears the
song of the river, only overcome when
at first flush of dawn hundred^ of ring
ing bird voices begin to call from the
bushes.
With full daylight comes realization
of the beauty of the rio arriba. Here
the steep, folded mountain spurs stand
down to the water's edge, little white
cliffs mark|pg the force of the flood in
the rainy season; brilliant green on
the long crests, these spurs take on
deep violet shadows In the Innumerable
clefts and gorges.
When the steamer reaches Glrardot,
with its scnrlet blossoms, its cobbled
streets tipping down to the river, and
its eternal clothes-washing on the flat
stones of the margin, there is but one
section of the Journey still to be trav
ersed ? the railroad to Bogota. During
this final stage there Is a 'great deal of
steady climbing to the upland plateau,
and a long run across the cool plains.
One passes through regions of won
derful fruit? -rose-apples and nlsperos,
grenadillas, and manxnnas and melons;
ascends through a cutting whoso sides
are Jet black because here Is a seam
of excellent coal providing fuel for the
railway ; and, after rolling through
level lands where cattle graze peace
fully beside willow-bordered brooks,
sees at last the twin peaks of Monser
rat and Guadalupe, with the white
walls of Bogota at their, feet. The
mountains stand like a vast purple
barrier; beyond lies that lake of le
gends, Guatavlta, a score of gold-bear
lng rivers ; the emerald mines of Muso
from which the finest stones In the
world, and the largest annual quantl
1 ties, are produced.
Rationing and Improved Health,
It Is not true that under rationing
the health of the nation 'Ms suffering
from lack of good food," says the
Weekly Scotsman. "On the contrary,
the health of the children In the
schools has never been so good, and
but for the Influenza epidemic the
death rate would In all probability nev
er have been so low. Of essential
foods everyone has had enough. But
ter has been short precisely because
it was necessary to safeguard the chl'r
dren's ,mllk, but no one who under
stands the work done bji the ministry
of food in securing the raw material
for, and arranging the manufacture of,
margarine will suy that the subject of
fat in general has been neglected."
Not Worth $10.
An American unused to court eti
quette was Invited Just before the war,
says CollleVs, to dine with n CJerican
prince. A glittering flunky presented
a silver plate to him just before the
hurs d'oeuvres were served. He
blushed, fumbled In hla pocket, then
Mid to himself, "I have nothing but a
*10 note, but?J don't think any Ger
man dinner Is worth $10," so he let
the plate pass. He then discovered
that the plate was Intended to receive
the white gloves that he ought to have
worn! ? Boston Post.
How Pari# Wat Named.
In 52 R. O.. when Caesar conquered
Gaul. Paris was called. In Gallic.
Lutetla (Mud-town). At that time It
was Inhabited by a Celtic tribe, the
Parlsli. They burned their town rather
than surrender to Oaeaar, so that
general ordered a now town built at
the time, and called It after the
trtblo. Pari ail. This was the original
form of the present name, Parts.
