Wild Beauty Of Brazil.
There is much wild beauty I'm Brazil.
A new lansUag has been forced on the
peaceful indian. but his land remains
unchanged. 1T IS only few minutes
walk from the orderly FoWs of raIrg.s

the trolley car and the cog train viii
take MIN ia I'VE minutes more TO where
the wilderness is as wild as if man had
not conquered it with steam. AS one
sails across the broad harbor among
many strange crafts. the view on one
side 0lSclOSes the red and yellow me-
tropOlis sitting on the hilItops, bat an
around are the budding mountains
croWding down upon it. The ride to
PetrOpolls is SO rugged and picturesque
that II one viii not listen 90 the putting
or the engine OF look back at the shin
ing rails, he may well believe that he
is the first to pass that way. Hugs
birds soar upward in the haze and
brilliantly painted butterflies spread
their delicate sails as they fash back
and forth in the white sunlight. there
are clumps Of wonderful willows afame
with masses Of bloom, all hedged iu by
towering peaks of lofty mountains.
PeJrOpOlis sits in the lap of the hills
It's tree-lined canals all come from,
then lead back to Natures haunts All
trails lead TO rough places PetrOpOlis
stands for all the elegance Brazil can
boast. Tt is the national show place.
About 500 of its citizens spend I'VE
hours Of every day on the train going
TO and from their business In Rio.
The legations of nearly all the foreign
governments are loca ted here. TO live
in PetrOpolis is quite the Trims yet
on all sides it is hedged in by the viii
derness.
A Builder Needed.
Brazil is not far removed from the
Drimeval in physical form. nor is iC
much advanced in other ways. In any
direction It is not far from develop
ment 10 crudeness. Its people lack the
American trait of adaptabiLty. Iu-
stead Of learning by experience they
ignore it. They do not correct their
mistakes, but make them over again.
Their symptoms are not the kind that
make nations. The immigrant the
railroad. the steamship, the LOCAL in
dustry are not fOstered-au are ham
pered and pTeyed upon. The present
day official is a wolf who deVOuTs the
portion of coming generations whose
greed rObs the future Of its promise
The foundation is here. but the builder
is not yet upon the ground Other
hands must build the edihce of state
If it is to be.
