1 FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser'#
Subjects at Present Residing in
South America.
German migration to South,
America, and especially to some j
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
j founded. One such reason is
that the number of Germans in
Brazil is not, after all, omihous
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
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 numerous, and j
j 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
some have imagined. Germans
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-1
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
total of 300,000, or one-tliird,
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.

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

Curious Incident.
A man on Twenty-third street
furnished much amusement to a
number of people on a recent j
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
I the buildings, and, as it descend- j
j ed, filled with air, coming down j
; with mouth wide open, like a bal
j loon. It struck the unfortunate I
man squarely over the head, cov
|i 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
I the sack off his head.—N. Y. T fit.:

KEYSTONE OF

STRUCTURE-—
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the
tion of its great musical worth, the cauaqof its popularity with artists and musiciana. *
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to th«merestfriTltifl jH -i
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many BO p£,

Kimball is Prom iiiexii. I
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivatjed human voice, :: g||| "ja. l
inpcrfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because- all do 'St 1
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 ridi luilnmn (jfraliii lsnecf l»U|mM| T
