THE BIG TREES
A Wondrous and Awe-Inspiring
Product of Nature, Found
Only in California.
California’s attraction are
mostly of its own kind, peculiar
! to its kind and of none is this so
emphatically true as that unique
product, the big trees. The age
of these colossi is from 1,500 to
2,000 years.
The Mariposa grove, which
can be visited while en route
to the Yosemite, contains some
of the largest. In the Calaveras
| grove are from ninety to one
hundred of huge size. Near
Santa Cruz is a beautiful grove
of redwood big trees, which will
well employ a day’s pleasant visit.
These can be best reached by the
Union Pacific, whose fast trains
from Missouri river reach Cali
fornia 16 hours ahead of all com
petitors.
Pamphlets and maps describ
ing the wonders of California,
and full information about the
most comfortable and direct
route to the Pacific Coast, can be

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Wot Warranted by Number of Kftiaart
Subjects at Present Residing in
South America.
German migration to South
America, anil 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 conijnest.
For two or three strong t<‘ •
says the New York Tribes e, -ui h
fears seem to ih in be x * < w *i'
founded. One such reason i.
that the number of Germans xu
Brazil is not, after all, ominous
ly large. The total population of
Brazil, according to the census
of 1890, was 11,333,915. No later
census returns are available, bet
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 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 twice as numerons. and
Italians three t|mes as numer
ous, as the Germans. Nor yeti
are these Germans so massed is
certain states as to form a ma
jority of thjeir population, as
some hare imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Bio
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 la
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 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.
Itissaidto be equally good and nu
tritious. In South America we
find the milk tree.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Curious IaddtBi
A man on Twenty-third street
furnished much amusement to a
number of people on a recent
windy afternoon by a predicament
he fell uPo, or rather that fell
onto him A large gunny Back
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 th«» shoulders, and pinioning
his arms so that he had difficulty
in extricating himself. He strug
gled ms if he thought he was being
kidnaped until he managed to
the sack off his head.—N. Y Post
