BRAZILIAN EXPOSITION
Marks Centennial of Opening of
Ports to World.

The national exhibition of Brazil opened at Rio
de Janeiro last month. This industrial manifesto
ton by a country which regard. in a way,
as the legendary land of the diamond and the or
child, or if we are bourgeois. the land OF
coffee was made in the midst Of of the most
beautiful panoramas of the world, only few hours
by rail from an untrodden wilderness.
The exposition was organized to celebrate the cen
tennial of the opening Brazilian ports to general
commerce with all countries an event proclaimed
by the Portuguese King. Joao VI. "LIllustration"
says that on this the Portuguese King Dom
Carlos to have gone to Rio de Janeiro with the
object of tightening again the powerful bonds which,
in spite many political reversas of fortune, have
always united the two states, and that his festive
visit would have marked equally the anniversary
of quite different voyage made by the royal fam
lily of Portugal century ago, when. pursued by the
French, it asked shelter in Brazil Portugal alone
was allowed make display at the Brazilian
position at first; but, after the murder of Carlos at
Lisbon the fair lost something of the character
which the presence of European monarch would
have given to it, and there were accepted. In what
ever space was left available products of out
siders.
The exposition buildings erected the
banks of the little Bay of Botafogo which opens
into the Bay of Rio, between two peaks OF blackish
granite about three hundred metres high-the
Sugar Loaf and the Urea, curiously set up at the
narrow harbor entrance of eight hundred metres
width which opens the entry TO the bay.
The height of Sugar Loaf. whose crevces
and of Portugal fanked by the pavlons of the
United States and of divers industries, show up.
with their gay banners and fantastic lines, in
odd panorama which is said TO be enc of the most
remarkable In the world. The tropical light bathes

four kilometres wide), and its sparkling water

siIhouettes of the mountains. the dry sides OF
