WHERE COFFEE is GROWN.
MOST OF IT COMES FROM BRAZIL. All
THOUGH THE NAMES JAVA AND
MOCHA ARE USED.

Coffee like other things is not always grown
where the advertisements say When the grocer
is asked for a pound of Java or Mocha coffee
he pours out several hundred dark brown beans
which probably never saw the other side Of the
Atlantic. If the coffee could speak it would be
apt TO say il was raised in Brazil where at the
present time the greater part of the worlds
supply is grown.
The little island of Java, in the East indies.
and the little town of Mocha. with its 5000 in
habitants, on the banks of the Red Sea, in
Arabia have now. in fact. if not in name given
way to the great South American republic
Travellers in the State of Sac Paulo, in the
southern part Of Brazil, tell of enormous coffee
plantations, some Of which contain more than a
million coffee trees
At Buenopols. for example. is n plantation
which is said to be the largest in the world,
and which has 100000 trees The coffee tree
when wild grows high twenty feet, but
when cultivated it is only half as large, with
evergreen leaves and white flowers in the bios
soming season.
The fruit is pod containing one or two beans.
TIL pods are spread out on an open field TO dry
and often these drying grounds cover nearly a
square mile. When thoroughly dry the pods are
run through machinery, which separates the
beans into two kinds those fiattened side
and those Of complete spherical shape The first
is called Java coffee and the second Mocha
The coffee raised these great plantations
of Buenopolis is sent by rail to the port Of San
tcs. on the Atlantic Coast, where it is shipped to
all parts Of the world. Brazil produces each
year about 100000 tons. although the worlds
consumption is estimated at only 100000 tons.
There is thus at present an overproduction of
the coffee bean, which has frightened many
dealers of this city 10 such extent that
Gently they met to consider how they could get
more people to drink coffee They said that
there had been so much talk about coffee hurt
ing the nerves that the business. unlike almost
every other business in these prosperous times.
had been on the decrease. How far this move
ment to increase the drinking of coffee will sue
coed is still a que. ton.

looking somewhat like our blackbird except for
its short tail. while wading a stream brook

water? The water ousel or dipper OF our
Western States has become aquatic that it
dives into the mountain brook which il
is always found and. using it's wings and feet
as paddles, goes to the bottom, finding there its
food of small worms and snais. Nature has
given il thick covering of down beneath its
feathers to protect it from the sudden change
of heated air to icy water. Its nest is often
wet by the spray of some tiny cascade, so that
its young do not have 10 wait until they begin
To seek their food before becoming ac-
quainted with the strange element which in
stinct or instruction will soon lead them to en-
joy. This bird belongs to the same order as
our thrushes and blackbrds but is the only
one which has departed so widely from the

Among birds which are lovers of the great
ocean the little Mother Carev'S chickens or
stormy petrels deserve important place
Their last name is a diminutive of Peter and
is given them from their habit Of pattering

WHY THEY HAVE MANY QUEER BELIEFS
TRICKS PLAYED on THEIR CREDULITY.
Did you find a sailor who was not supersti-
tOus? II would be a long search. If you
started out such a hunt. Perhaps il is because
OF his surroundings the lonely ocean. away from
other men. with only the whistling wind TO talk
him. and the and the stars BY night %
keep him company. when he is doing duty the
lookout. that Jack has many more superstitons
than his brothers ashore.
You can't learn what queer beliefs these sailors
have about the sea and 81 ips by going down
to port again after voyage. They are more
anxious to ashore and the sights" as they
say. than talk about their superstitions Then
too, the subject is not pleasant talk about and
many think that the mere mention Of an III omen
or a bad dream or an OminOus portent is enough
10 bring harm in way or another.
No II you want to learn sailors superstitions

turned to land again he told many a weird tale
OF the uncanny and superhuman and he related
one story Of how a sailor became so frightened at
what he thought ghost that he Jumped over

phantom ship is always an object OF alarm to
a crew. and it often happens that because of n fog
or a mirage a sailor thinks he sees a ship Of air

birds are seen Swimming along In small hocks
MANY hundreds of miles from land They must
sleep on the water or may even be able some
way to take rest the wing. No storm
daunts them and they dive into and through
the mountainous pillows without fear. Many
persons love them who hardly ever notice birds
on land for these little beings. suddenly ap-
peariug in the vast waste around the lonely
ship are sights which the eye welcomes, and
the sense of cOmpaniOnship is very pleasant.
Another group is that of the penguins. These
are the seals among birds. From head TO foot
they tell Of a life in and on the ocean Their
nOn-cOnducting coat OF down and scaIe-hke
feathers allow them to sport among ice foes in
comfort They are weird in all their ways and
fit inhabitants Of that unknown Antarctic zone
which forms their home. The power Of flight IS
lacking and the wings have become fins OF
fippers all the quilts having disappeared Their
legs are almost entirely within their body, so
that their walk is a most ridiculous waddle, but
once in the water they glide after the fish with
amazing SWiftneSS, capturing these by pure skill
in speed and lodging. They have many rep
lillian characteristics. showing that they early
acquired these habits and do not share the
pecuIiarities which belong TO more highly or
ganized birds.
