This ; president appoints the sixteen lntendftnts, who correspond roughly to our • governors. With the lntendants nominating them, he also" appoints the slx- : ty-flve governors who- rule over re- " ilons "guch as might be formed by groups of counties In the United « j&tAtes. and tlie alcaldes of murilcipali- -tles with m/re than 10,000 population.

Chile la 2,700 miles in length. Great Ethnic Difference*. Chile differs as much ethnically from .the rest of South America as it does , politically.V It has had a greater pro- •;',.>:;Jportlon of northern European Immlgra- • fion than its sister states, largely Ger- Ittan and British. The predominant 4_ ilS^itrain is a mixture of Spanish and Araucanian Indian, a mingling which 'extends through all social levels. B5ew, Immigrants from southern Europe have come in, add like Great Britain/ ^ ' Chile has working classes of its own 'if^lood. \ The vast beds of sodium nltrate dls- , -covered in what is now northern Chile jSnore than 100 years ago have meant K * „ ' fnuch to the country economically dur- [ «'|ng the last half century. But the per- 1 -•* Section of processes In Europe to ex- " ti 'ict nitrogen electrically frorn the air, find the growth of ammonia products Chile long held. First evened up in 1830* when the" region was under Peruvian and Bolivian ownership, the mining operations did not reach a great magnitude until after Chile annexed the territory in 1880. After that the world's demand for nitrates grew so g^eat that by li>13 Chile was exporting between .two and three million tons. The World war increased the demand, for nitrate is the chief raw material for explosives as well as for wheat and cotton growing; and Chile's desert deposits kept' the' guns of the allies booming. If one would get a quick conception of the Importance, the lovely surroundings, and the climate of Santiago, Chile's capital, he should set San.Francisco or Los Angeles down in the most beautiful inland portion of the Valley of California, give the Sierra Nevadas 4,000 feet more height and pile on' them more generous caps of snow. Santiago, with its nearly three-quarters of a million population, is fairly comparable in size to Pittsburgh and Boston. Among the Spanish cities of the world only Madrid and Barcelona in the Old world, and Buenos Aires and Mexico City in the new, exceed It. But It is not on size that admirers of Santiago base their eulogies. The city, like our own capital, has a subtle charm all Its own. Much of this is due to its location. Many travelers agree that It has the most beautiful and inspiring setting of all the great Inland cities of the world. It is situated near the upper end of a mountain- rimmed valley; 40 mills'long by" 20 wide.- Ten miles to the east the Andes rise to heights greater than 18,000 feet, presenting a towering wall always snow-capped. On the west Is a lower coast range; and to the south stretches a level expanse of fertile farming land divided into large estates. ... Park-of 8anta Lucia. Santiago is built on the plain, but within it rises a 400-foot hill, covering several hundred aches, which has been mifde into onje of the world's unique parks. Once nearly bare, the hill of Santa Lucia has been transformed into an enchanting modern hanging garden of groves and flower beds, winding roads an0 trails, cascades, terraces, sylvan theatexa.And observation kiosks. From its slopes one may obtain numerous charming vistas, and from its top Santiago lies spread out in all its lovely details. $ It is a city predominately of low, flat-roofed buildings, for the hand of Spain lies heavy upon it in all matters of habit and custom. But r all that the old Spanish life has taken on a briskness that must be bred of the West. There Is a movement and bustle that modifies much of the influence of Old Spain, and which at the same time stamps Santiago unmistakably a metropolis. The axis of life in Santiago is the beautiful Alameda de las Dellclas-- "the tree-lined avenue of the delights," which cleaves the city in two. Its great breadth of 350 feet is divided by four rows of stately trees. Down the center is the PaseOj a broad promenade, lined by many flower beds and statue-studded little parks, along which innumerable nursemaids herd their romping charges. Oa either side of the Paseo are the tracks of the electric street railway, and farther outside are broad driveways. The Alameda Is lined with many of the finest residences and public buildings of the capital. The lover of fresh air comes lnto>, his own in Santiago's delightful cli mate. Great crowds promenade on the Paseo and in the plazas each evening. Most of th# dwellings are of the Spanish type with open courts In the center, in which much of the family's time is spent. The street cars are double-deckers, with the upper seats open. Those who wish to climb the steps and enjoy the air and view pay a smaller fee than the passengers who ride on the lower level Few great cities are so fortunate as Santiago in regard to their water supplies. Sparkingly pure cold water from the high Andes is available In abundance within a few miles. The city could grow to ia community of many millions, without being faced with any great difficulty about this necessity for. which some municipalities have had to reach out hundreds of miles. Through the city runs the Mapocho river whose floods were once a source of danger. Chilean engineers have tamed the river, however, confining It within a concrete channel, and San Francisco.--Old Dame Fortune has her sentimental moments.

The searchlight Is the Invention of W, H. Pennow, and one of its most astonishing features is that it Is able to keep the lamp's rays in a narrow pencil of light. The beam of ordinary searchlights diverge so much that even when lamps of enormous candle power are used their ranges are comparatively short. The Pennow beam is focused much more shsfrply; at a mile it produces a spot of light only twelve feet in diameter. The searchlight has been designed chiefly to help aviators in night flying, hut It' has many other uses.

She was^Hl|t)eV<i lady. She had not always been so littla. As a girl, she had been at least an Inch or rw«> taller. These add- "ed Inches, eoupled with an enormous amouut of vitality, had made her appear larger than she really, was.. But the long years of position at the piano and the amount of work she had done sitting hunched over musical scores, had taken their tbil in actual Inches. At seventy-three, She was frankly foil of • years f bent, loose-skinned and, worst of all, racked and all but ruined by rheumatism. - Her once supple fingers were as * knotted as hickory sticks. They lay tipon the ^tejlc When she permitted herself to open the lid of her beloved piano, like s<> many, lumps of Inertia. Horrible, gnqrled, stiff old. fingers; knotted and rigid with age, In the beginning, when the rheumatism began its first merciless onslaught, ithe madam used to have a horror of her hands. She could not bear to look at them. She kept them behind h$r when-visitors called. But there came the day, when she' found herself obliged to be reconciled; to shift her point of view, to take up the new threads of a new life. For .ten years the little madam had now reconciled herself to the fact that she must live off the bounty of her former pupils. And they Were many! In her Qay^ the music teacher had enjoyed brlirrant and outstanding success in her field. Names that were to become world-famous had walked out "of her studio, equipped for the concert stage. From all over the country children had journeyed to her, accompanied by parents or guardians, filled With the hope that the little madam would see in them talent sufficient to warrant her taking them as pupils. The great Morltzy had been propared for his triumphant career in madam's studio. LUIenthal, Mann, Forenzi, Lanz and Spamer were all of the brilliant company of madam's pupils. She had worked with them with a patience, with an understanding and with a wisdom that was unfaltering. Her hour lessons could easily stretch Into two or three or flve. And In the case of Spamer, probably the most infallible genius of them all, she hafl taken him free of fee Into her home, under the surveillance of her constant guidance, her untiring patience. No wonder that, at seventy-three, madam looked her age. She had fought so many separate battles. She had achieved so many Individual successes. She had conquered obstacles for so many human beings. She had given of herself, of her vitality and of her time; of her wisdom and of her curious musical instinct. a . It was as if she had been a well of inspiration and vitality--a well of inspiration from which those with the genius of music could drink. Coujd. drink, and then go forth and conquer their worlds. Madam herself had never been a brilliant piano performer. But she was undoubtedly the most brilliant teacher of her time. She did not play Brahms with any outstanding facility, but she knew his heart to the core. Forenzl once said of her that she knew Beethoven better than Beejhoven could have known himself. She had a wonderful faculty for passing on this knowledge of the masters she loved--to the pupils sh^ loved. She could train fingers and brains and hearts to interpret the beauties which the great musicians of the past&bad captured for the future by meals of little marks on paper. Madam could interpret the soul of music and could give her pupils, in magnified degree, this gift of interpreting its soul. Though her own fingers, even in her prime, had never had the facility, the power, to transfer to the keyboard of a piano the depths of the music she studied and loved, her brain had the faculty of giving others the gtft she lacked. No wonder her former pupils never forgot her. She made them;: She created them. She lived in them, long after her active life was ended. On her seventy-third birthday, as was their wont, as many pf her former pupils as were within possible distance, gathered around her. The birthday of madam was an outstanding occasion. Not only her pupils, but the important names of the musical world, came flocking to her little home, bearing gifts of affection for the little lady whose day had passed. Of course there was something pathetic and heart-hurting about these birthdays. Each one found her a little smaller and a little more gnarled and a great deal more crippled. She never referred to this last condition, but those who knew her knew with what ye.fi-Blng eyes she gazed upon the young proteges and musical talents who were brought to her home from time to time just to be able to si|y that they had looked upon and metthe great little madam. It was difficult to realize, upon these birthday occasions when the world remembered, the lonely, despairing three-hundred-sixty-four days that preceded them. Here was a woman whose life had been crammed to the hilt Not with lovers. .Not, strangely enough* with the adulation of men. But with the devotion and crying need of hundreds of human beings who looked to her for the fulfillment of their destinies. _ , Her own life bad been crammed With the task of creating other lives, of moulding them Into success, of bringing ojut in them talents and genius in cfrder that they might shower J;he beatifies of'talent and genius upon the world.

Because that was what it practically amounted to, those three-hundred-s&cty-four days of the year when madam's world was too busy to pause at her door. Checks came from her erstwhile pupils, gifts and sometimes letters, but foe threehundred- sixty-four days In the year she was practically alone,' waiting for the one day when they remembered to coiue. - And this "one day was all too'brief.
