LESSON TAUGHT BY BRAZIL.
splendid Avenue in Rio de Janefrs
Cut Through the sIums.

The most wonderful feature Of Rio
de Janeiro Is the Avenida Central.
Imagine, II you can. a city, Chicago,
for Instance, awakening to the realiza-
ton that there are ugllness, dirt and
disease in Its midst; that its streets
are ill-payed. unwholesome and unequal
to the traffic Imagine Chicago deter.
mined to change all this by drawing
a straight line through her slums, Soy
from the river at Madison street to the
rorner Of Twelfth and Halsted streets,
with other straight lines parallel and
at right angles through other centers
of slumdom.
And Imagine Chicago, after pulling
down brick and stone, wood and plas-
ter, erecting on these straight lines
broad, well-paved, well-lighted avenues,
faced on either side by palaces, shops.
cafes, clubs and business houes, all
newly built according to one harmonl-
Gus scheme, so that air and sunshine
enter where they were before unknown.
and so that 1t becomes a pleasure to
walk where hitherto confusion and dis
comfort were unavoidable.
This Is what Rio did. The Avenida
was cut literally through the heart of
the city.
From March 8, 1904, when the first
house was unroofed, until the opening
of the Avenida for public use, Nov. 10,
1905-the Brazilian national holiday of
. independence-there were GAL houses
demolished and over 1000 persons scat
tered to other and more wholesome
homes. The reactionists who object to
the whole plan say that for a tropical
city the old streets were best; that
these new, broad avenues which bring
sunlight into dark places have also
brought the first cases of sunstroke into
Rio. They fail to realize, of course
what cleanliness and fresh air signify
The total cost of the Avenida may
reach $S0,0OO,000, but it will be worth
every cent of It

able rampant of bristlng heads. This circle
narrowed and narrowed until it completely
inclosed the wolves, that now began to real
ize their danger, for they left their prey,
plungng forward at deer, with swapping
jaws and snarling in frightful manner that
revealed their sharp, cleaning teeth.
But their ferocious onslaught was received
on the lowered antlers that in turn struck ct
them, and sent them bowling back for a few
moments, but only to return again to the at
tempt to break through the bristling wall of
their antagonists.
This performance was repeated again and
again, the elks closing together nearer and
nearer at each repetition, until they finally
assumed the offensive altogether and began
to attack the wolves with hoof and horn.
For a few minutes the scene was one resem-
bling pandemonium.
The plunging and leaping of the trapped
wolves and the steady rising and striking of
the bodies of the deer, with howls of pain
intermingled with the shrieks of rage and
fearful snarling, made it an occasion never
to be forgotten by any who were present
As one of the wolves, making desperate
and fed down the valley, one of the hunters
sent shot after him, but it was apparently
without effect, and was likewise wholly un-
noticed by the elks.
In half an hour the combat was ended, and
the fury of the elks being appeased-as it
might wei. have been, for, they had killed the
last one of the wolves-they withdrew, lcav-
ing the torn and bleeding bodies of the wolves
scattered about the dead fawn, and went clat-
tering down the glen like troop of cavalry.

sewer being perfectly tight.
But on the other side of the wall the sewer
and its double casing continued, ard this
eucalyptus, tree evidently knew how to get
there.
Some three feet high in the brick wall there
was little hole an inch or two in diameter
and this the eucalyptus tree was aware of.
as its big root began to climb the dry wall
and face the sun and wind until it found the
hole, through which it descended on the other
side and entered the sewer again and fol-
lowed it along as formerly.
How did the tree know of the hole in the
wall? How did it know that the sewer was
on the other side? How could it direct the
root to go and find the place with such pre-.
cision? The roots, of any plant grow always
and unerringly in the direction of its food, Just
as the eucalyptus tree did
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-24

Inspired by the same feeling of curiosity
to see what would come of the wolves during
attack, every man forbore to interfere and
quietly watched the combat that ensued.
For the ellSs, which had at first scarcely
seemed to comprehend the intentions of the
wolves, soon collected themselves, and toss
ing their great heads began to paw the earth
with their forefeet, making the air resound
with their wild and furious believing.
They formed circle about the wolves that
had crowded around the body of the pros
trate fawn. and presented to them formid-

white wolf, quite six feet in length, came
bowling from the belt of small timber already
spoken of, and sprang on fawn drinking
as the wolf bore it to the ground.
This seemed to be signal for the rest of
the band to appear, and they came yelling
