BRAZIL IS FULL OF GAME
Animals, Birds and Fish Of Every De.
scription Abound in Its Woods
and Rivers.

"For the mar who loves to hunt
and fish Brazil is a paradise" con-
ftinued DR.. Griffith. 81 do not sup
pose there is a part of the world
where game is more plentiful or that
can be hunted under more satisfac-
tory conditions than in the state Of
Minas Geraes, say a couple of hun
dred miles to the north Of bio Ja-
metro. The prairies and woods TEEN
with animals and birds Of every de-
scription. There are tigers and
water hogs and wild hogs and funny
little red deer about the size of a
goat, and tall red wolves with long
but very slender bodies. There are
magnificent birds known as the per-
idiz and the codorna, which greatly
resemble our quail, only a great deal
bigger, with the same flavor and the
same delicious white meat. Dogs
are used in hunting them, just as we
use them in quail shooting in this
country.
"Then there are scores Of other
feathered creatures unlike any spcci-
mens we have here, and in the lakes
and rivers myriads of wildfowl, in
cluding ducks the equal Of our
vaunted canvasbacks. There arc
wild pigeons in the forests and a big
bird that is a fair counterfeit of our
wild turkey.
'The native Brazilians are not
very keen on hunting themselves,
but now and then one can be found
to make up a camping party, and so
plentiful is the game, both on the
prairics and in the mountains, that
hit is always easy to get permission
of a landowner for shooting over his
estate" -Baltimore American.

MANY USES FOR PEROXIDE
1t Is q Powerful Bleaching Agent and
Also Is Valuable as an Anti
septic.

One Of the most powerful bleach.
ing agents employed in various
trades is peroxide Of hydrogen, also
known as hydrogen diozide and oXy-
genated water. The natural color in
ostrich plumes is removed by it and
it will also bleach a great number Of
other things, such as bones, ivory,
silver, wood, silk, cotton and hair.
1t can be used to restore the color to
old oil paintings which have become
darkcned by age. Peroxide is a val
liable ~antiseptic and will also de-
stroy Objectionable heterogeneous
in water. 1t can even be used to
cure indigestion, but for this pur-
pose, as well as for other medicinal
uses, it must be diluted. A drop Of
pure peroxide is strong enough to
raise a white blister on the skin. Mi
mute quantities Of peroxide of hydro
gen are found in the air, in rain
water and in snow, and it is some
times found in the juices of certain
plants. The liquid is produced on
a large scale by the action Of acids
OF peroxide Of sodium, The solu-
ton may be concentrated by allowing
the water to freeze out, by passing
dry air through it or by evaporation
in a vacuum over sulphuric acid
