How Roosevelt will travel in upper
Brazil


he Travelled but did not have the great
retinue, with mosquito-proof tents and
doctors and scientists and comforts ga
lore.
This expedition is to be scientific one,
and it Will probably add greatly to our
knowledge of the wiids of South Ameri-
ca, and to the collection of the American
Museum of Natural History, to which
the beasts. birds and reptiles captured
are to be given. He will have a chance
to shoot tapir all the way from Para
quay to Brazil and will probably bring
back many specimens of the collared
peccary, which is found almost every
where in South America. The peccary is
kind of wild hog which when grown
Is about three feet in length. 1t is of a
dark gray color and the coliared variety
has white band extending across the
chest from shoulder to shoulder II goes
about in herds or droves and is not diff
cult to shoot. We have some tapirs in
Panama and they are found in many
Parts of the Amazon and Parana ba-
sins. ] saw some during my travels in
South America. They make me think of a
cross between hog and pony. They
are usually found In the forests and in
the lowands near The rivers They like
to hathe and run for the wafer when at
tackled. They are not at all dangerous
And then the alligators and turtles.
There are alligators almost everywhere
in the Rio de la Plata system | had a
shot at a score or SO during my trip up
the Paraguay river and l saw some on
the Amazon, although that stream is so
large that one only comes into sight of
them when near the shore or on the
banks. There are also sea porpoises in
the Amazon and it's branches. There are
snakes of enormous size and all kinds of
fishes, from the great cowhsh to the sar-
dine. Those rivers are the homes of big
turtles, which lay vast quantities of eggs
on the banks. The natives collect the
eggs and stack them up in piles like the
cannon balls in a navy yard. Some of
three times as high as a man. Later the
eggs are thrown into canoes and broken
with sticks in order to make turtle-egg
butter When a canoe is half full of these
broken eggs. water is poured in and the
whole is left out in the heat of the trop-
ical sun. After short time the oily
matter of the eggs rises to the surface,
when it is skinned off and clarified. 1t
then looks like butter and is used as such
by the Indians and some of the other ma
tives. 1t is said that several hundred
million OF turtle eggs are thus gathered
every year in the Amazon basin.

But come with me and let us take a
trip up the Parana system from the
mouth of the RID de la Plata, between
Uruguay and Argentina, and on through
Paraguay to where former President
Roosevelt will leave the river, in Matto

Indians of Brazil who wear plugs in
their ears and in their lower lip

Indians of Brazil who wear plugs in
their ears and in their lower lip
past the mouth Of the Uruguay river
and then go into the Parana The word
and this river system drains a large part
of eastern South America. We sail up 1t
to where the Paraguay flows in, or as far
as from New. York to Cleveland. This
part of the stream is from one to three
miles in width and 1t carries a great vol
ume of water. 1t has the whole of the
Paraguay system, al well as that of the
upper Parana. which flows about 1000 miles
through Brazil before il reaches the mouth
of the Paraguay. 1t is on one of the
branches of this part of the Parana that
lie the Niagara Falls of South America.
They are far in the interior, but they can
be reached, and it is probable that ex-
President Roosevelt will go to them. The
falls are wider than either the Zambesi
Falls or Niagara, and the river makes
leap which is 30 or 40 feet more than that
of Niagara Falls, and it is said that the
spectacle is equally grand.
All the way up the Parana to the Para
quay we pass floating islands. The floods
tear the vegetation away from the banks
and great masses of grass and trees so
floating down stream. Sometimes one
sees an alligator lying ON the shores Of
one of these islands, and wild animals
are often carried on them out of the
wilds into the regions of comparatively
thick population.
This trip up the Parana takes one north
ward from the temperate zone. in which
Argentina lies, and on into the tropics.
The vegetation grows more dense as you
go northward. Great vines and lanas
bind together the trees, and as the
steamer moves along the banks you can
see birds of brilliant plumage. including
mocking toueans and shrieking parrots,
There are plenty of monkeys almost
everywhere in the wilds of Paraguay and
Brazil, and so many alligators that l
often mistook them for logs lying on the
banks of the stream.
After entering the Paraguay you pass
frequent orange groves. and at the towns
there are piles of oranges lying on the
ground near the wharves waiting to be
loaded upon the steamers which will take
them down to Buenos Aires. In Paraguay
the oranges grow wild in the woods,
though the trees are probably from seeds
which have been dropped by birds
Ex-Presdent Roosevelt will undoubtedly
stop at Asuncion, the capital of Para
quay. This is a most interesting city OF
about s0,O00 lying right on the bank OF
the river. 1t is there that he will change
to the smaller steamer which Will carry
him northward into Matto Crosse, and
go on into the wilds. His trip as FAR as
Cuyaba will be over the route Travelled
by Captain Thomas Page of our navy. lie

into that region, and 1t is now more than
so years since he made his way from

MOTION BEARS
ON JURORS
Two Dispositions Are Said to Tell
of Conduct of One Of the
Veniremen.

Two dispositions, filed with the
Clerk of the Superior Court, pur-
porting to bear on the conduct Of
members of the jury which convicted
Leo NJ. Frank, are said to form
strong link in the motion for new
trial for the pencil factory superin-
tendent, according to a report Thurs
day.
The dispositions were made by J.. f.

Blakely, Ga. Thomas, who is drug
gist, is said to have had some coli
versation with Aticus II. Henslee be-
fore the trial of Frank, when Hens
lee is declared to have expressed an
opinion on the case. Later he was
chosen as a juror and was accepted.
Black is said to have overheard the
conversation between Thomas and
Henslee.
Attorney Rosser is said to have
completed an amendment to his mo-
ton for a new trial for Frank and
will present it to Solicitor Dorsey
some time this week. While the fling
Of the two dispositions would indicate
that the defense will base it's request
upon the Henslee episode, no definite
idea of their line of action has be-
come known.
The defense, since Franks convic-
ton, has been active in securing ev!-
dence on every angle Of the trial with
which to support its plea. Franks
attorneys are said to have gathered

submit at the hearing.

Boer Umbrella,

Umbrellas for some inscrutable rea-

much used by the Beers. In common
with our own views. the Boer believed
that an umbrella gave man an air
Of distinction though the shocking

would not have been calculated to
possess this attribute among our own
countrymen. Where these umbrellas
came from Is one Of the many I'M
known facts of the old-time republic.
They were big and bulky, as rule Of
alpaca, and the catch was generally
out Of order, but they were always to
be found in the guestroom when the
'old man. was at home. and always
accompanied him in the spider when
he jourheyed into town on Saturday.
They were rarely opened in public,
because If the weather was wet the
Boer stayed at home. An umbrella is
not considered necessary on horse
back, as q rule, but the Boer carried
it here just the same as he did when
driving in his spider, and often used
1t as 9 whip to urge his steers on
