FEAR OF ^ERMAN INVASION
Hot Warranted by Number of KaUert1
Subjects atl Present Residing in
Sotfth America.
German migration to Sooth
America, and especially to loms
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 j
Brazil is not, after all, ominous-1
ly large. The total population of
Brazil, according to the census
of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later
census returns are available, bat
careful estimates now place the
total at more than 17,000,000, of j
which number less than 3,000,000 j
are Indians and negroes, leaving ;
certainly more than 14,000,000j
whites. Of these, in 1901, only ,
2,700,000 were immigrants, and i
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- -
tie over three per cent, of the
whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous percentage, i
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-!
joruy or tneir population,
gome have imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Rio j
Grande do Sul, where there are
200,000 of them, but the whole j
population of the state is 900,000,
so that the Germans are less
than one-fonrth. In Santa Catha- j
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 oat as ominous
that thise Germans continue to
nse their own language, to pub
lish newspapers in German and
to demand the official nse 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
jiopes for in Brazil is not polit
ical, but commercial. Tho profit
she looks for in this migration of
her subjects is to bo 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-oalled
German colony in Brazil means
a market for German trade.
Upon this feature of the oase too
much stress cannot easily belaid.
Pro vision* from Tran.
There is a tree which grows In
Sumatra, Algeria aud 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 j
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
whicifis 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 on
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 ot people on a recent
windy afternoon by a predicament
he fell in^o, 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
the sack off his head.—N. Y. Post.
MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
metor Boat Invented by Frenchman
Goes at Express Train
Speed.
Among the many Interesting experi
ments with motor boats, saya the Lon
don Mail, perhaps the most pictur
esque were those on the Seine at
Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert.
In conjunction with Messrs. De Dion
and Bouton, brought out their bateau
glisseur, or gliding boat It is also
called a hydroplane, and that name is
really indicative of its construction.
With a De Dion 14-horse power mo
tor, the count attained a speed of 28
kilometers an hour in his first ex
periments, and now he has added to
that speed and has made 3‘4 kilome
ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
The inventor of this hydroplane is
not, however, content with this, and
will try in a day or two to raise the
speed to 3fr or even 40 kilometers, or
25 miles an hour, or a speed that is
not exceeded by the use of a 40-horse
power motor.
The boat Itself is 36 feet long and
nine feet wide. To the bottom of th9
boat are affixed five planes or fln3.|
When the boat is stationary these fins
hang vertically in the water. They
are hinged, however, and are all under
control of the driver. When the mo
tor is set in motion and the boat
begins to move these planes, begin
ning at the bow. are gradually given
a backward angle. The boat rises in
the water and then gradually rests
upon it, with the stern of the boat
only immersed. The speed increases,
and the boat, following the inclination
of the planes, glides along the surface
of the water just as an aeroplane
glides on the air, and with not much
more resistance.
It is confidently expected that with
an increased horse-power motor tas
hydroplane will reach a speed of bl)
miles an hour.
TO AUCTION QUEEN’S GOODS
Ill Furniture and Treasures of Isa
bella of Spain Except Personal
Jewels to Go Under Hammer.
It has been decided that the personal
Jewels of the late Queen Isabella of
Spain, who for many years lived in
Paris, will not be sold as expected.
The casket containing the precious
stones, necklaces, etc., has been pro
visionally deposited at a bank, and as
soon as the affairs of the late queen are
cleared up and the contents of her pal
ace disposed of the Comte Quiaqul,
who has charge of all these matters,
will distribute the jewels among the
•royal family of Spain.
On the other hand, the furniture, ob
jects of art and all the other treasures
In the Palais de Castllle, Queen Isa
bella's home In the Avenue Kleber,«op
posite the United States embassy, will
be sold at public auction.
The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to
San Sebastian to consult King Alfon
so’s wishes on the subject and the auc
tion will probably take place early In
the autumn. The catalogue Is being
prepared.
It is well known that the oontents of
the Palais de Castllle are marvels of
beauty and worth and constitute a veri
table museum. Several offers bars
been made for the palace Itself and the
surrounding gardens, but nothing defi
nite has yet been aocepted. The estate
covers MOO square yards of land,
valued at $1«0 to $800 a yard.
HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Dil
oulties la Getting Goods to Cap
ital of Guatemala.
A Mobile merchant sold some cotton
goods not long ago to be delivered at
Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his
warehouse a steamer was loading for
Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway
to within 60 miles of the Guatamal&n
capital. To reach the latter the goods
would have to be packed over the moun
tains by Indians or on muleback. The
merchant found it cheaper to ship by
way of San Francisco, thence by boat to
San Jose, Guatamala. and to the cap
ital by rail. New Orleans, terminus of
the Southern Pacific, is almost next door
to Mobile New York, however, en
joyed a cheaper rate because there was
competition with the routes across the
Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn
So the goods were sent by boat to New
York, thence by boat back to New Or
leans, and thence on their way, going
nearly 10,000 miles instead of 1,100 by
the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil
ity to get at the west coast markets has
done much to keep American goods out
of them. Guatamala has now arranged
for the speedy completion of the rail
way from the Caribbean to the capital,
and a cheap direct route will thus be
opened.
Leap Years in Twentieth Century.
