Sometimes Makes Trouble.

Sometimes Makes Trouble
The migratory house often produces
trouble. A few years ago the Chicago
Great Western railroad condemned and
bought scores of dwellings in the south
central part of the city to make way for
switching yards. freight houses. etc. All
of these buildings that were fit to be
moved we're hauled away and disposed of
on suitable vacant lots. They were re-
paired and painted and rented readily.
Some neighborhoods into which they were
introduced objected strongly to the new
architecture and somewhat plain and ordi-
nary exteriors, but the objections were of
no avail. The migratory house, II so per
cent whole, has a right to go anywhere so
long as ground is ready to receive 1t.
Clearing routes for the boulevards and
parks, too, has added to the ranks of the
migratory dwelling. In carrying out the
plans for finding routes best suited because
OF natural conditions, the Park board has
condemned many a comfortable home, pay
ing good price, Of course, for the demoli-
ton. New sites were found and the aid
Of the house mover enlisted. Only a few
months ago several buildings were taken
away from Thirty-third and Cunning
streets to enlarge Bemis park. Houses
removed from this cause usually do not
travel far. They are placed on nearby
lots and ordinarily serve out their careers.

Scenes in the Markets.

Rio de Janeiro lives WELL and its markets
form one of the sights of the city Many
of the vegetables are brought from Spain,
Notwithstanding the soil of Brazil will
raise almost everything. Among the most
important of such imports are garlic and
onions. The onions are braided together
In strings and sold by peddlers, who go
from house to house, the strings being
thrown over their shoulders. Fruit is i'm
ported from Portugal and other countries
of Europe, and apples are brought in from
New England A good. sound American
apple often sells for 10 cents, and one can
get half dozen fine oranges for less. Meat
is sold as soon as It is killed. Very little
is kept in cold storage, and in most mar
kets the price declines from daylight to
dark. In the morning II may bring Is cents
a pound, but along toward o'clock it can
be bought for or cents. The reason
is that the hot weather may cause the
meat to spoil and the health officials will
then direct that II be thrown away.
Dried meat often sells for more than
fresh meat This is especially so OF Jerked
beef, which is a favorite food Of all classes.
and which is brought by the ship load from
the Argentine and Paraguay to Rio de ia
metro. This meat has strong smell and
is very salty; II is largely used for stewsg
Another high-priced meat is fat pork, which
is used for cooking with beans.

An American College.

Brazil has a force Of American missiona-
ries and quite a number OF American school
teachers. one OF the best female colleges
in all South America is situated in Pc
tropolis not far from where Secretary Root
is now stopping. The college buildings
are palatial In character. The rooms have
ceilings from fifteen to eighteen feet high.
the kitchen is walled with porcelain tiles,
and the bath room has marble swim
ming pool, with shower baths adjoining.
The school rooms are equipped with Ameri-

Metamorphosis OF churehe..


So far only the frame house has been
spoken Of. The prick or stone building
defies carting around in SO high-handed a
manner. 1t is moved, too, nevertheless
Only few years ago the bricks from an
old Catholic church In the retail district
torn down to make way or a department
store, were used in a dancing academy. A
more appropriate occupation was found for
the stone OF the old Young Mems Christian
association structure, which will go in the
ensemble to make W the new Wise
Memorial hospital. Not a few Of the i'm
posing new downtown buildings OF the
last few years contain salvage material
from structures torn down in the march
OF progress, and at least one fine new
residence was constructed this way.
The tide OF unrest does not stop with
dwellings and once business places.
Churches. too. are caught in the swift
movements. and a task Of this sort has
just been completed. 1t was the moving
OF an old frame church structure, built by
the Baptists, at Thirty-hfth and Farnam
streets down to Twenty-ninth and Far
nam, where It was overhauled. the &c
olesiastical features cut out and made over
into several store rooms. The work was
handily done and the structure saved from
the dlsuse into which 1t had fallen of late
years.

is the chief shopping street and great gos-

times stretched over the street and so
close that the flags which float from the
windows on one side almost touch those
from the other. Every window has its flag
pole, and the poles join almost like bean
poles or stacked arms. Just now each
pole has its flag, and these flags will keep
the sun of the delegates as they walk
through, At night the Ouvidor is illum-
mated by arches OF iron pipes, which run
across from one side OF the street to the
other. The lights are of many colors, and
just now they will be blazing.

1866 some French Protestants built up a

and about a hundred years later Rio had

now which are several hundred years old.

Americana In Brazil.

Secretary Root will ind a number OF
Americans In Brazil, and also that the
United States is doing considerable busi-
ness with that great South American re-
public. We have large exporting houses at
Rio and Santos, whose chief business It is
to ship coffee to the United States. Brazil
is the greatest coffee country in the world
and Uncle Sam is its principal customer.
We drink more coffee than any other peo-
pie. In 1894 we consumed almost 1000, 600 900
pounds four-hfths of which came from
Brazil. We bought sOOOOO,OOO pounds Of
her in 1905, and paid more than 900
for It. All our great coffee companies have
connections with Rio and Santos. and many
OF them prepare their coffee at those ports
for the American market.
There is also a lot of American money in
vested in railroads and electric plants in
Rio de Janeiro and Sac Paulo. The botani-
cal garden car line Of Rio was built by an
American named Greenough, and Ameri-
cans built the first street car lines in Ma
naos and, I think. also I'm Para. Ameri-
cans are interested in Sac Paulo and It's
electric plants.

Secretary Root and our delegates are now
spending their nights. going out and in to
Rio day after day.
Petropolis lies just back of Rio, but II Is
more than half mile straight up in the
air above II. To reach 1t one crosses the
bay on a steamer, a distance of twelve
miles, then flies over swamps upon cars to
the foot OF the mountains and then rises
up them by means OF a cog railroad like
that on Pixies Peak.
This ride is a succession OF wonders. 1t
starts in jungle of gigantic trees loaded
with orchids. with u mat Of green bushes
far below. Now one sees a fern as high as
a three-story house. and now feathery bam-
boos many feet higher The road winds
this way and that. It crosses ravine after
ravine with silvery waterfalls flowing down
them II passes in and out OF tunnels, and
at times runs under rocks 1000 feet thick
which seem ready to drop down and
crush II.
As one rises he has magnificent views OF
Rio and the harbor. The train shoots into
the clouds and out into the sunlight again.
There are always clouds on the tops OF the
hills, and In the early morning the Brazil
ian capital and its beautiful bay are so
shrouded IN mist that one seems to be de-
scending into a sea OF snow.
Petropolis itself has a climate which Is
perpetual spring II is a combination Of tbs
tropic and temperate zones. The air is full
OF moisture, the trees and grass are always
green, and the winds blow as soft as those
OF Florida in March. It is a city Of beau

are bamboos in Rio which are fifty feet
high. whose feathery arms interlock and
make avenues through which one can walk

which we raise in our hot houses and
royal palms $50 feet high. Brazil is one
of the chief homes of the royal palm and
this tree is to be found in every part of the
