Pnrngmay's Two Stnnlcs.

The two staples of Paraguay are

is produced the tapioca of commerce.

treated; and it is MS essential to the do

many forms Of food MS our flour. The
plant resembles the tomato. The stalks
aud leaves are excellent fodder for cat
tie. and have medic nal properties when
dried. When eaten raw, the root is a
deadly poison. Thirty-iivc drops of it
were Administered not long ago to man
condemned to death. and he died after

poison is mystcricusly removed by the
application of heat; and when boiled or
baked, the root is as wholesome and
rs pnlntablc us IL sweet potato. When
cooked. it is almost pure starch, and con-
tains ninety five per cent. of nutritious
properties. The roots are first boiled.

a Steel Iiclt for n Continent.

This is an era of great nde;ta!iings by

making the time from Europe 10 the
Pacific coast fourteen days. In oblGucly
cutting South America the road would
traverse fertile provinces of Bra H.,
Paraguay, the Argentine Republic, and

tine Republic use could be made of
skeletons of railroads already con-
structcd. The estimated cost of the I'M
dcrtaking is sll0, 900, 900. A syndica,e
has been formed in Rio to obtain grants
OF land and money from the countries
interested.
1t need not be said that, on more
grounds than one, this project, ms well
rs al! other pro jects for the development
OF South America. if accomplished,
would be of great importance to the pco-
pie OF the United States. With the
progress of that vast region in agricul-
turc and commerce. its trade with this
country would Immensely increase if the
American people should take advantage
OF their opportunities. But this is not
to the United States the most important
consideration involved in the develop
mcnt of Brazil and other countries of
South America. If railroads should
penetrate those countries and make their
cheap and fertile lands availab for re-
muncrative cultivation, n large emigra-
tion would be attracted from Europe.
The mighty stream of immigration that
now pours on these shores would be
greatly diminished by diversion to South
