FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Sot Warranted by Somber of XftiMrt
Subjects at Present Residing in
South America.
_'
German migration to Sooth
America, and especially to some
^of the southern states of Brazil,
periodically a cause of com
t and concern to some who
k they see therein a sinister
me of imperial conquest.
rr two or three strong reasons,
ys the New York Tribune, such
ars 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
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.
