You naturally turn your attention to places outeide the city, and the suggestion of a day at Sete Cidades (Seven Cities) offers one day of relief from the torpid unsavory town. Sete Clda-dis the eastern one of the two great craters of St. Michaels, between which Ponta Delgada lies, and is a tiny town in the small valley between seven peaks, grim sentinels standing guard where once a greater peak, whose Inward firs was its own destruction, frowned out over the Island and the sea on either side. It goes without saying that about these seven peaks hangs the usual legend of the hoary monarch, his one beautiful daughter and the seven impassable gates, and so forth, that with more or less variation is told about every set of seven peaks or seven lakes to be found a'nywhere. It is not the little valley with its worn-otraditions, not the little lake supposed to be half of green and half of blue, nor yet the surrounding seven-peake- d coronet of hills that makes Sete Cidades an ineffaceable incident in one's Journey ings. But it is over beauty, not evil treatment, which memory Ungers when Sete Cidades recurs to mind, beauty that Is seen on the Journey thither, and above all from the craters edge, rather than in She valley ItselfT To do the trip as it should be done go with some one who has been over the ground before; go, if you will, under the guidance of a native Azorean gentleman, who speaks English and, indeed, expresses himself in many languages when in temper, and in all others when out of temper. There Is such a one here, who will take care of your whole party, and all the days arrangements, even to the weather, though when your appointed day comes it is not only showery but misty as well. - But good San Antonio, what is to be done?

The Scots man hath a saving mind, and the Jew is somewhat thrifty, but your true Azorean will nse what he has paid for though it take his whole years income in doctors bills.

The object of Its Investigations was to ascertain how many persons there are in the emplre pQSBesfled of a fortune of 600,000 yen. which Is equal to $250,-00- 0, szjs Japan and American. The total number of these Is 44L One-thir- d of the number reside In Tokio, and the great majority are found, of course, in the capital and the progressive cities of Osaka, Koto, Kobe and Yokohama. The result shows that there are ten rich men in the United States to one rich man In Japan, even when $1,000,000 is accepted as a standard In the United States and $200,009 In the Japanese empire. The proportion, however, is not so much against Japan as may at first appear. The rich men of the latter country, even the hankers and financiers, have hatheir largest holdings In land. They-not yet specialized the business ot money making as it has been In this country and therefore the basis of fortune is more stable. Again, It Is estimated that a dollar in Japan Is equal in the amount it will purchase of comfort and luxury, to four or five dollars in the United State ' With this consideration la view it will be seen that the apparently small for- tunes of the Japanese wealthier classes are really much larger than they seem. The period of business and industrial development has Just begun and fortunes re being made piore rapidly now than they were ten or even five years ago. This is shown by the tremendous growth of the Japanese , quarter-millionair- ' emperor. The cost of building operations in New York City in 1901 was nearly double that of the previous year, The total estimated cost in the city, including new structures of all classes nd elUrationa to old buildings, was "$150,072,957. For 1900 the total was $38,463,174.
