One such reason is that the number of Germans in ! Brazil is not, after all, ominous ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the I total at more than 17,000,000, of which number less than 3,000,000 fre Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14,000,000 wiates. Of these, in 1901, only 2,7l0,000 were immigrants, and of tffce latter number only 300,000 were ‘Germans. The latest and highest esti mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450,000, or a lit tle over, three per cent, of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. Nor does It represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra zil are twiqe as numerous, and Italians three times as numer ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in sertain states as to form a ma jority of their population, as some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio J ~ »..l l_xi__ viluuuu uv uui, wuuic lucic air 200,000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 900,000, so that the Germans are less than one-fonrth. In Santa Catha rina the Germans are 100,000 in a total of 300,000, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,000 in 280,000, and in Sao Paolo 30, 000 in 1,430,000. It is pointed oat as ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub lish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. Well, the same may be said of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States. The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in creased commerce. In that Ger many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means a market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid. Provision* from Trow. There is a tree which grows in Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From its fruit large quanti ties of oil and tallow are extract ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread. It is said to be equally good and nu tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.—Philadelphia Ledger. Curious laaMnl A man on Twenty-third street furnished much amusement to a number ot people on a recent windy afternoon by a predicament he fell into, or rather that fell onto him A large gunny sack dropped from the roof of one of the buildings, and, as it descend ed, filled with air, coming down with mouth wide open, like a bal loon. It struck the unfortunate man squarely over the head, cov ering him completely down be low the shoulders, and pinioning his arms bo that he had difficulty In extricating himself. He strug gled as if he thought he was being kidnaped until he managed to get the sack off his head.—N. Y. Poet, ! MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS Inquiries Made by Representatives c Powers at War for “Bangor’s Golden Slippers.” Inquiries have been received i Bangor, Me., from persons su] posed to represent either the Rus sian or the Japanese governmen concerning prices for moccasin in large quantities and the earl est date of delivery at Atlantic o Pacific ports. It is supposed tha the moccasins are wanted for so diers campaigning in Manchurij For that purpose they would b eminently suitable, says the Ner York Sun. The moccasin is the favorit footwear of the lumbermen o Maine, and was first made in Bar grv in 1851. At first only one o two styles were made, but noi moccasins are manufactured i great variety, ranging from sli{ pers for women and children soft as kid and embroidered wit beads—to the stout boots and lai rigans of the Penobscot lumbei men. Much of the sewing is still don by hand, being let out by the piec to French Canadian families i the neighborhood of Bangor. A1 moccasins are made of a special! prepared leather, rendered a gold en yellow by a peculiar process o tanning. The common moccasin Is no proof against water, but it ha room for several pairs of stocli logs, and that is a strong point i its favor. For keeping the fee warm and dry in cold weather th moccasin has no equal. The greater part of the mocca j sin leather still comes from th 1 place of its origin, Pawtuckel R I., although a considerabl quantity is tanned in Bangoi Rome years ago Bangor men es ! tablished factories at Red Wing Minn., and Racine, Wis. ■ The dainty bath slippers, whfcl i ai*e not really moccasins, but an : made from soft elk skin, are ii I great demand at home and abroad : and are especially favored by th< i ladies of Japan, to which countr, | Bangor sends large quantities. I ! now seems likely that “Bangor' golden slippers,” as moccasins an called, may be worn by the con i tending armies in Manchuria. _ JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD — Hjr Crew Made a Brave Start, Ba Couldn’t Stop Her Till fires Went Out. That the role of Japan as a mat itime power is a new one ii brought strongly to our notice b; recalling the quite well authen ticated story of the first adven ture of the first Japanese iron clad, says Country Life. She was built in England While she was building her erev were also in England practicing In other ironclads how to driv< her. When she was finished th< Japanese seamen took possessioi of her, bravely maintaining tha they were fully equal to the tasl of starting her. And that, to be sure, they were for she steamed out finely. Th< trouble only began when she cam< back to port again. Then, whei they wanted to slow her down ant atnn har fliau nrora nnohla fa At -r-,-J ----— — ao. They had to put her out to set again and go on steaming hei about till her fires went out, hei engines stopped for want oi steam, and she could be towed in From this to having the bes’ mentally-equipped crews, perhaps of any nation seems a long step but it has been a very rapid one. Insect Senses. Naturalists have decided thai many insects have senses whicl human beings lack. That of loca tion, shown by the wasp, for in stance, is remarkable. One spe cies builds its nest in a sandbanl that is only a part of several acref of such soil, and when it leaves ir search of food it covers the nest sc carefully that no ordinary eye could discover its location. Thai is to say it is just like all thasur rounding location, aDd yet the wasp flies back to it without hes itation and finds it without mak ing a mistake. There is another wasp ttat unerringly locates the eggs of the mason bee under a thick layer of sun-baked clay, and deposits her eggs in the same cells that her young may have food when they are hatched.
