Where Cotton May BE King.
I am surprised at the extent of cotton
planting in Brazil. The amount raised is
on the increase and the day may come
when cotton will be king in parts of Brazil
as it is in our southern states 1t is raised
north of Rio de Janeiro all along the coast
to some distance above Pernambuco. 1
have seen it being loaded at nearly all the
ports. a great deal OF it goes TO the Bra
lillian factories.
The government has now a tariff on cot
ton goods which enables the cotton mills to
make money. Within the past ten years
100 cotton factories have been established,
and the most of these are paving big diVi-
dends. One factory paid a dividend of 90
per cent its first year, ard ~ per cent a
year for five years thereafter. at the same
time greatly charging its plant. In the
state of AlgOaS. below here there is q mill
which produces 1860 pieces of cloth a
year 1t has $50 wOrkTncn. The first year
Il was established it paid a dividend of IS
per cent. The second year it paid 30 per
cent and the third year ~ per cent. In the
state of Bania there are fifteen cotton
mills. There is one at Rio and they are to
be found as far south as Sac Pauo. The
southern mills get most of their cotton by
ships from the north IN the state of Minas

A few of the local artists who are occa-

have received blank entry forms and circu-
lars inviting them to send works to the
Greater American Exposition to be held
at Omaha. from July 1 to November /.
The exposition viii be held in the buildings
and grounds in which the transmississippi
and international exposition was held last
summer. and the art department Is under
the direction of Mr.. John r. Key. Prizes
amounting to 81 600 will be awarded as fol-
lows: Three hundred dollars for the best
oil painting by an American artist. residing

AR AN D ARTS T S

After the jubilee celebration Max Weyl
expects to leave Cor a short stay at Warm
Springs, Va, and he is carrying forward
toward completion a number of canvases
hiCh he hopes to finish before abandoning
his studio, and seeking the green fields for
fresh inspiration. The most striking paint
ing among those which lack only few
hours work to bring them into entire har-
mony is a landscape motive of the utmost
simplicity. The rudy fires of a glorious
sunset are slowly burning out in the west
ern sky, and dark eXpanse of moorIand
stretching as far as the eye can reach
serves as foil to this splendid burst of
color. The light in the sky is brought
down into the foreground by the rejecting
surface of a small pool, but there is no
tree nor even any small eminence to re-
lieve the wide sweep Of Level ground, Yet
few would venture to say that the picture
is on this account mOnOtonouS, for, as one
of Mr.. Wcyl's brother artists always main
tains a fine sunset sky is its own excuse
for being. ana seems all the more dramatic
when there are no complicated accessories
10 distract the attention.
