REAR DESCRIPTION
OF LIFE IN PERU
D. J. Neville Addresses Col-
legiate Pupils on
Tuesday.
'TEN YEARS IN PERU
Students of the Seaforth Collegiate
Institute ma Tuesday morning had
geography taught them in a new and
interesting moaned, when D. J. Nev-
ili •, of Tataro, Peru, told them of
:the country which has been his home
dor the past ten years.
Mr. Neville, who is a Seaforth Old
Boy, hes been visiting this sister, Mrs.
J. M. McMillan here.
After descri•bieg the location of
• Peru, Mr. Neville told the students
of the climate. Despite the fact Peru
is. entirely witbin the tropics, the
temperature ranges from bitter cold
in the mountains to tropical heat on
the coast.
An interesting feature of the ad-
dress was when Mr. Neyille showed
the pupils ons of the famous shrunk-
en heads of Peru. Complete in every
respect the head is only half the size
of a normal head,.
Proceeding with a description of
the country. Mr. Neville said:
"The entire utast, with the excep-
tion of valleys which are irrigated
from rivers that flow from the moun-
tain* is an ami desert. This pecu-
liar fact is due to the Humbolt cur-
rent which runs from the Antarctic
Ocean along the coast to the North -
era part of Peru, and serves to keep
the rain -bearing north winds from
reaching this part of the country, Oc-
eas'ionally this, current varies which
causes a rainy spell of very disas-
trous 'results to the irrigated lands,
destroying dikes and coops. Howev-
er, neture seems to compensate us
tor her apparent waste land and left
el for maws individual effort. This
arid section cantatas a large reservosir
of crude eft Our company 'which is
one of three in this :liccality,, has a
daily production, of 35,000 barrels,
which hes endured for the past. 25
}'ears. The discovery of oil and its
nee was made by the original Ivea
Indians, who inhabited the country,
had I•ater was used by the Spaniards
over 400 years ago, who condensed
the'edl to a pitch wheel was used in
.maulkimg their sailing vessels. The in-
dians befoae the Spaniords had dis-
covered the secret of refining and us-
ed this sauce pitch to prix width clay,
which when hardened, made a very
.excellent pottery. By this, I believe,
1 em safe in claiming that the first
refinery of the Western Hempisphere
was ia Peru, only a few miles 'from
