It is a beautiful picture from the heights, this quiet, sheltered valley with Its long, narrow village meandering like a stream through woods and meadows. The lake, on a raised platform of the crater, lies some distance from the settlement, which is a favorite summer resort. Prescott, the famed historian, came to Furnas as a young man to visit at the summer home of his grandfather, first American consular officer in Sao Miguel, who was appointed In 1795 by President Washington. Furnas has a thermal establishment, where sulphur and iron baths are available. Near-bfountains supply various kinds of mineral water, the place being noted for the diversity of its waters and the proximity of hot and cold springs. One deep, cavelike caldron, belching forth boiling mud and steam, is called The Mouth of 11611." Its evil appearance and the strong smell of sulphur give the Impression that this Is really an entrance to the abode of His Satanic Majesty. Stately manorial houses, erected centuries ago, are to be seen throughout Sao Miguel, usually set on the heights. One such house, built in 1724, is a delightfully romantic old place. The kitchen has a chimney-plac-e big which is a room in itself. Standing in it, beside the huge brick hearth, one can look up the wide chimney, which towers above the house, to a patch of blue sky. Such chimneys are a distinctive feature of Azorian houses. Roses LAVISH LOVE are red Violets Soot on wall paper may be removed with corn meal.

An Englishman, a skilled horticulturist, arrived at Sao Miguel more than eighty years ago to lay .out the famous Jose do Canto gardens. It was he who brought the first pineapples to his employers hothouse. Twenty years later the fruit was shipped to England, each pine in its pot selling for two guineas. England and Germany are now the chief, consumers of Azorian pines, France and continental Portugal following. The plant, which is here of the smooth-leaveCayenne variety, is grown under glass, special beds of fermenting heath or some other mountain shrub being provided. All the plants are brought to blossom at the same time by a process of smoking, the value of which was accidentally discovered many years ago when a carpenter, working in one of the pineapple houses, chanced to set fire to a pile of shavings. To the surprise of the grower, the plants, instead of being spoiled, burst into flower. By this method practically all the plants In a hothouse can be marketed at the same time, many months earlier than formerly. Little glass houses shimmer on emerald slopes in various sections of Sao Miguel, the exclusive producer of pineapples in this archipelago. Wrapped In cellophane or packed in excelsior and crated, the fruit is shipped to the European market by a fleet of three vessels owned by the growers. In 1934 about 2,000,000 pines, worth half a million dollars, were exported. Tea, Too, Is Grown There. Another exotic industry on this island is the production of black and green tea, which here retains its oriental name, cha. Ever since they discovered the sea route to India and planted their settlements as far afield as Macao (Macau), on the coast of China, the Portuguese have been a teadrinking nation. There is an old belief that tea is better if it has not crossed the sea. Whether this is true or not, Azorian tea tastes to some much like the far eastern variety on its native soil. It Is consumed locally and shipped to other parts of Portugal. A number of Chinese were 'originally Imported as instructors in the tea culture, but now only native labor, chiefly female, is employed. The plantations dot the hillsides on the northern side of the island, which has greater moisture than the south coast The stiff e little evergreen shrubs stand in rows, very foreign in appearance, contrasting strangely with the familiar European flora about them. A motor road parallels the coast of Sao Miguel, with connecting crossroads, enabling the traveler to see much of beauty and interest, even in one day ashore, Including trips to the two largest volcano craters. On the country roads are bullock carts, with bodies filled with heath for the pineapple houses. Some are of archaic pattern, with solid wheels of the Roman type, their approach heralded by a complaining, creaking song. Sao Miguel has a deliciously green and restful countryside. Checkerboard fields, brown and green, alternate with woods filled with songbirds. These islands, like those of the Madeira and Canary groups, are the habitat of the hue. Its wild canary of greenish-graglad note is one of the pleasantest features of the Azores, where It seems to be more generous and more vocal than on the islands farther south.

The upper class of Ponta Delgada leads a pleasant life, quiet as compared with the stress of American cities. There is a social club where dancing Is a favorite pastime; a coliseum seating 2,600; a sports field for football, tennis, croquet, and handball ; a baseball sea pool built park; and an open-ai- r in the rocks by the shore. There are motion pictures twice a week, chiefly from Hollywood. American influence is apparent In the English spoken throughout the Azores. There seems to be a genuine liking for the United States. The Stars and Stripes are in evidence at every festival. During the World war, Ponta Delgada was an American naval base. the Economically are no less Independent when it comes to their social pleasures. In their amateur shows the scenery is apt to be painted locally, the costumes made in the homes of the young men and women who participate. In their singing, dancing, and acting these young people exhibit amazing talent and poise. The young folks mingle in crowds, but there Is here no such free and easy companionship among them as exists in the United States. The chaperon is still in vogue and balcony courtship is carried on with Its own prescribed etiquette, the girl leaning over the d-story balcony to talk with her admirer on the street below. There are many among the poor of the Azores who have suffered since money orders have ceased to arrive from Manoel or Antonio, who formerly prospered in Providence or New Bedford. The Azorian assets are a stout heart, a willing hand, a productive soil, and a climate which, though damp and rainy six months of the year, is without extremes of temperature. Wages are low, but food is cheap. The main diet of the peasant consists of soup of cabbages, beans and potatoes, white cornbread, and fish. Pork and beef are only for special occasions, such as religious holidays. In the Ponta Delgada market 60 small fish sell for two and a half cents ; a pound of green peas for less than two cents.
