Beyond is the pagoda of the Chinese gardens, and the tea houses, with their roofs colored in the wonderful yellow which occurs so often in the old Chinese rugs. The slate-colored dome of Argentina's ornate Palace precedes the pinkish-toned Netherlands building seen in the distance the rather whimsical style of the latter adding a distinct note to that section of the grounds.
Argentina's part of the island is as large as the state of Massachusetts. Argentina has nearly five hundred million acres of ground that can be cultivated and this great area is extended over well watered plains, all of which are so accessible to the sea that the simplest railway construction is all that is necessary.
Albert Hale says: "It is undeniable that Argentina can give lodgment to 100,000,000 people, and can furnish nourishment, at a remarkably cheap rate, for as many more, when her whole area is utilized." Argentina's schools and universities are the best in the Spanish- speaking world.
I soon learned, beside all the above about Argentina's coast trade, that Tugg kept his seamen at work through fear. He never changed his drawl in speaking; but when he gave an order there was a grimness about his mouth and a flash in his gray-blue eyes that gave one a cold, creepy feeling in the region of the spine. I don't know that Captain Tugg went armed.
Argentina's record in material progress rivals Japan's. To this Land of Promise there is a large immigration. Nearly three hundred thousand have entered in one single year. In some districts the men of the working classes have departed in a body.
Little booths for the sale of lottery tickets are erected in the vestibules of some of the churches, and the Government, in this way, repays the church. The gambling passion is one of Argentina's greatest curses. Tickets are bought by all, from the Senator down to the newsboy who ventures his only dollar.
