FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser’s
Subjects at Present Besiding in
South America.
German migration to South
America, and especially to some
of the southern states of Brazil,
is periodically a cause of com
ment and concern to some who
think they see therein a sinister
scheme of imperial conquest.
For two or three strong reasons,
says the New York Tribune, such
fears seem to us to be not well
founded. 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
! total at more than 17,000,000, of
which number less than 3,000,000
| are Indians and negroes, leaving
; certainly more .than 14,000,000
whites. Of these, in 1901, only
2.700.000 were immigrants, and
of the latter number only 300,000
| were Germans.
The latest arid highest esti:
mate of the number of Germans
! in Brazil is only 450,000, or a lit
tle over three per cent, of the
1 whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous percentage.
1 Nor does it represent the largest
foreign element, by any means.
Portuguese immigrants into* Bra
zil are twice as numerous, and
; Italians three times as numer
ous, as the Germans. Nor yet
: are these Germans so massed in
; certain states as to form a ma
jority of their population, as
I some have imagined. Germans
j are most numerous in Rio
; Grande do Sul, where there are
200.000 of them, but the whole
; population of the state is 900,000,
so that the Germans are less
than one-fourth. 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 Paulo 30,
000 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed out 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.
Provisions from Trees.
There is a tree which growrs 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
rnndlps are made from flip herrics
of a tree which grows in some
parts of South Africa and the
Azores. At Sierra Leone is found
i the cream fruit tree, the fruit of
i which is very agreeable in taste,
j In Ceylon there is the breadfruit
i tree, from which a food is made in
| the same yvay 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 Incident.
A man on Twenty-third street
furnished much amusement to a
number of 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 so that he had difficulty
in extricating himself. He strug
gled as if he thought he was being
| kidnaped until he managed to get
1 MMc off his head.—N. Y.' Cost

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prom inent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball system and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
