Discovery OF Brazil
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TT WAS a magnificent prize that fell
to the lot Of Vincent Pinzon and
= his imperial master. the king Of
Portugal. when. 412 years ago the won
derfuI land now known as Brazil was
discovered
The great discovery was purely ac-
cidental. On the Esd a fearful temp
est arose. ragged for three days and
nights and wound up by driving Pin
zOn ashore. The shore was that Of
Brazil
For the United States of Brazil there
awaits, beyond doubt, a glorious future
The fact that BraziPs progress was,
until recently, alarmingly slow, ar
CUES nothing. Brazil remained sta
tionary for so long simply because she
was being fettered by those pretended
friends who, provided they could keep
on feathering their own nests, were
more than willing to see the country
lag behind in the race with other ma
tons
Now. however. Brazil is awake; her
white population is being educated, the
people, shaking off the letters which
have so long kept them in mental
slavery. are beginning TO think on their
own account, and to think along the
lines Of modern progress, and the good
effects Of the awakening are every
where IN evidence.
twenty-five or 80 years ago Brazil
was little more than daub on the
map; today she is attracting the at
tention OF the world. A generation
ago her economic condition was de-
plorable and her industrial statistics
were pretty near nil; while today an
advance is being made that is wonder

side Of the country TO the other, and
with its affluents affOrding her such
cheap transit over more than half Of
the republic; with her railroads, the
mileage Of which is rapidly increasing
with her mighty forests and her won
derful mines, which are now being sci
entifically developed; with her new
education and quickened intelligence
all along the line Brazil is forging
ahead by leaps and bounds.
The geographical position of the re-
public was for a long time thought to
be against her, but the conviction OBJ
tains more and more every day that
science will be able to render the great
Amazon valley a fit comfortable and
What science has done in the Panama
canal zone science can do in the ANA
zOn valley. We are told that the great
carrier of fatal fevers that has hereto
fore worked such havoc with white
people in the tropics is the mosquito;
but science and intelligence have con-
Quered the mosquito IN the Pan
anna canal zone, and the same agencies
can conquer the mosquito in Brazil
and not only the mosquito, but all the
other foes Of the white mans health

sured, and the glory of that future not
