Just us the United States celebrated with an exposition In 187(5 the comple tion of the II rat century of Its Inde pendence, so Brazil will celebrate next September her llrst centenary as a na tion by means of u greut world fair In Itlo de Janeiro. It Is an occasion and a ceremony which the people of the United States nre particularly well lltted to under- and appreciate. In a number of States stood 40 yeurs ago, though In many others, of course, this neighbor to the south, equipped with modern machinery und assisted by modern methods, Is far In udvance of the United States of 1870. Brazil Is much more thnn "one of the South American republics." In area It Is In a class with the United States. Its Hag lloats over practical' one-half of South America and one fifth of the western hemisphere. Lcuv Ing Alaska out of consideration, Brazil Is actually 200,000 square miles great er than the United States I It lm boundaries of greater or less length In common with every other country In south America except Kcuador und Chile. The land boundary of Brazil, following nil the twlstlngs of rivers and mountain ranges, Is probably not far from 10,000 miles long, nnd there is a coastline of 0,000 miles as well. The largest river In the world, tremendous potential water power, and huge de posits of minerals are among some of the other physlcnl feutures that mark Brazil out for big things. It Is particularly In the possession of vast,1 undeveloped resources that Brazil Is comparable to tho United States of half a century ago. It too, has Its West; but It Is a West strik ingly different from the plains country of central North America. Tho equa tor crosses northern Brazil, und more than nine-tenths of the huge country lies within the tropics. Brazil's West consists for tho most part of a denso tropical forest A veritable ocean of verdure rich In hard wqods nnd rub ber tresis. Into this lnrgely undevel oped country stretches the broud Ama zon and Its tributaries up which ocean vessels steam for 1,000 miles ns though ocean steamers In our own country could steam up the Mississippi nnd Ohio past Cincinnati. River steamers ascend the main streams for another 1,000 miles and run up nu merous tributaries for scvernl hun dred miles. The possession of this great Amazon waterway and Its net work of tributaries greatly cheapens transportation ,ln Brazil In comparison with a country In which dependence must be placed largely on railroads. r-jeart of Brazil Is Southeast. In addition to Its northern forests, Urnzll has a prairie country In IU Middle West" the south central por tion of the country lying north of Par aguay and extending northward Into the hill country. Large herds of cat tle are grazed and there Is room for great expansion of the industry. The southeastern edge of Brazil, par adoxically, Is the heart of the coun try. The white population, numbering probably between 0,000,000- and 10,000,- 000 is largely concentrated In the re gion of temperate climate in tho south em coastal highlands which extend In land 200 to 00 miles. This region In cludes the southeastemmost states of ltlo Grande do Sol, Santa Catharlna, Parana, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro. Es perlto Santo and Minus" Gerties. Northward along the coast Is Brazil's "black belt," where negro ex-slaves and their descendants are mare numerous than elsewhere In the country. Inland are the Indians, many of them unciv ilized. Brazil's temperate region ulong tho South Atlantic coast Is the region to which manufacturing enterprise Is largely confined, Just as It was to our own North Atlantic coast 11 half cen tury ago. As yet manufacturing plays only an unimportant part In the coun try's life, but textile factories, tan neries and meat packing plants, as well iro various other Industrial estab lishments are on tho Increase. This "portion of Brazil's map Is peppered with cities and towns and Is covered with a close network of rnllroads. It is In this climatically delightful re gion of Brazil that Is developed the country's chief Industry coffee grow ing. Thousands of square miles nro covered V the orchnrds of trees which make Brazil the foremost coffee pro ducing country la the world. Brazil Is not backwnrd In railroad construction, hnvlng 20,000 miles of track. Yet so vast Is (he country that railway construction seems barely be gun. Brazil has yet to build Its trans continental lines. With :t single ex ception the railroads tire confined to u belt along the coast from 350 to 450 miles deep. The exception Is the road extending from the port of Santos 80C miles westwnrd to Porto Esperuncu on the Paraguay river. ltlo de Janeiro, capital of 'Brazil, In which the exposition -celebrating the centenary of Brazilian Independence Is to be held, has a population between n million and a million and u half, und Is therefore one of the greatest of cit ies. It shares roughly with VIennu, Osaka, Peking, Hnnkow and Cnlcuttq the rank of tenth city of the world. In South America It Is surpassed In slzo only by Buenos Aires. Set In a series of valleys, backed and nil but encir cled by mountain-like hills clad In a riot of tropical vegetation, and with a magnificent burbot' at Its feet, Itlo de Janeiro Is one-of the most beauti ful many travelogs assert the most beautiful of the cities of the world. Man's hand has helped nature In bring ing about this beauty. Broad boule vards rim the deep crescents of the harbor and the ough, picturesque ad Joining coust; one of the most fnmous of botanical gurdens has been created; tind avenues are lined by towering palms, while stately buildings nre set In spacious parks. "As multicolored and varied In b.eauty as the butterflies of the trop ics" Is the characterization of one re cent visitor to the metropolis of Bra zil. "In splefrtlor of hue and setting, this great city . of the South Js un-t-lvalcd the world over. Here granite peak and turquoise sen, tropic forest and rnlnbow-tlnted town, meet nnd harmonize. "This city of lure terraces up from glorious bay the Bay of Guanabara. mountain-encircled, lsle-bejeweled. From the phore, where parks und boulevards are fast crowding out tho old Rio of narrow streets, rise forested hills on whose slopes the lovelier por tion of the city lies." Rio Seen From the Mountains. To see Rio at its best and loveliest one must go to these mountains that tower over the city. Turning bayward, ono looks down, through n frame of tangled vine and branches, onto the tree-tops of the sloping virgin forest. Fnr below, sst In verdure, gleams the kaleidoscopic city, with Its crescent shores. In numerous crescents tho creaming sa meets the beuches Formosa, Santa Luzla, Lapa, Glorlu, Flamingo, Botafogo, Vermelha. Tho bny, set In Its umphlthcuter of hills, sparkles like a sapphire. To and fro among the f.hlps at anchor ply tho busy puddle-'A-heel ferry-bouts to the" Islands and to Nlctheroy, the llttlo sister city across the way. In the dis tance tower the blue spires of the 'ofty Organ mountains.

Between them Ho in..'.. ?. ltlo's suburban beaches Leme Cup acabana, Ipiineina, Lehlon In u glistening chain, their white villas nestling between hill nnd shore. Tho Avenlda Atlantlcii, which connects them, Is equaled only by boulevards along the Mediterranean. Ono can motor from the city to these benches and nn to Gnvea over a new road cut In th rock high above the sea, climb to the divide at TIJucu, and drop down, on tho bay sldo of tho range, to his starting place In tho city a wonder circuit of forty miles or more. Avenlda Itlo Grande, ltlo's finest thoroughfnro was "hand mado" after tho city hud attained practically Its present extent. In 1004 It wus decided to curve this great modern avenue out of the city, over 000 homes being sac rltlced. The avenue, moro than u mile In length and so wide that It consists of two distinct boulovurds separated by a row of shade trees, Is thronged day and night With automobiles. The sidewalks, the widest tho traveler Is likely to find In nil his world travels, are of black-and-whlto stones laid In mosaic designs, like those In vogue In Lisbon. Both stones and workmen were brought from I'ortugnl, but similar pavements, con structed later In other parts of tLo city, ure "home made." BOWRON SOUGHT RELIEF 40 YEARS Tanlac Restore; Los Angeles Man to Splendid Health After Every thing Else Had Failed.

"The Singing Nntlon" Is the name often applied to Lettfttiln, home of the Letts. The Letts derive the title of "singing nation" from their common devotion to vocal music. For seven centuries the Letts suf fered subjection from ' the German barons, who formed n haughty und firmly entrenched caste of nobility, but despite this oppression the vitality of the Letts wus such that they survived. Since the abolition of serfdom In Itus Sim in 1800. they hnve advanced In education and economics, and there hns been n growth of wealthy and cul tured mlddle-clnss people.
