A.-Among the oldest ot modern cities, cartagenn, founded In 1li33, has just entered npon the Fiftb century ot Its existence. It celebrated the event in tbe picturesque manner of the country with a program of festivities and an elaborate expo. s1tlon designed to recall the wealth ot romance and tra vall, which 400 years ot life have brought to this "Carthage ot the N'ew world" and to portray her present-day activities in commerce, agriculture and Industry. A port or can tor noted nnw1gators or the world, from Columbus to Lindbergh, Cartagena (pronounced Knrta.h-hny-nah) evokes at every step the memory of early American history nnd the Spanish Maln, and delight• vll'itors wltb Its hlstorlc charm. Though possessing an ancl<?nt glanlour second to none, Cartagena presents its strange paradox of nnUquity and moderrJity side-by-side. Once !be chle! port of the Spanish <:OntJOerors, lt was the gateway through which untold millions tn gnld A.nd jewels passed froru the new world to the old, fleets of trensorel:tdcn galleons setting torU1 twice yearly- for Spanish ports. Today CartngenR is an actlve seaport on the Car- !ul of tbe hlstorlcal Impressions which greet the visitor. One of the most ambitions of engl· neerlng projects Ia onder way in the harbor, snpenlsed by a New York engineering firm. New concrete docks are belng bullt to accommodate the many ships whtch call here for cargoes o:! Colombian coft'ees which have become famous the world over for thelr fine ftavor and aroma. Upon entering the city, the visitor finds broad modern streets as well as the narrow roads of earlier days. Structures or steel and reinforced concrete., Including tbe city's first skyscraper, rear their heads above qu.alnt old balconled houses with grllled and latticed windows, nncient palnces, majestJc temples and churches and stores of imposing proportions. The artistic appeal of classic architecture and brightly colored adobe walls and tile roofs, recall olden days when Impervious adventurers and their ladles rode through the strets In gilded choirs. The honk of aoto· mobile horns on the modern pavements -.stimulates the inevitable thought that the progress o! time brings changes in the old order. Here, indeed, Today claSDS hands with Yes· terday and tbe two bld you welcome. Faila to Turn Sand to Gold; Gets Pen Pnrls.-The nge-old alchemist's dream of transmuting base substances into precious gold Wft.!l blasted once more ln the Seine correcttoon1 court when John Duni· kowekl, Polish Inventor, was l!len tenced to prison tor fatllng to make gold out of sand as he bad prom· ised hls financial backers. Donikowskl was sent~nced to two years' 1mprtsonment and floed 100 francs. The court decided .. his secret process fer turning sand tnto gold is an lmpr~ctlcable combination or absurdities and con· tradlctlons." He was ordered to refund hiS backers 2,500,000 francs ($975,000) which they had advanced him. The case has been the sensation ot France. Dunikowski told bls backers be could reap o fabulous profit by creating gold from a ton of snm1 daily. His supporters. who included prominent men and members of nobility, looked for· ward to vast fortunes.

The life of Cartagena bas been more colorful and more turbulent than that ot any city in the A.merlcn.s. The early Spanish conquistadores discoveretl the harbor and decided to establish a city there, through whlch tbe Spnnlsb fleet might mnlntaln contact with the ricl1 new world over which their domain was rapidly becoming establlshed. But the native Indians thought otherwise, and it was only with the great· est dlflleuity that tbey were subdued. On January 21, 1538, the first stone of the new clty was laid by Pedro de HPredla In the name ot Spain. Thereupon, its fortresses and tov.~ers rc;.se qulrkly, at a reported expense of $80.000,000 and thousands upon thousands of lives, perhaps the costliest clty In men and money stnce the building ot Rome or Athens.
