of Germans, gave only 12S votes for
the suffrage-alien amendment and 1896
votes against it; that is, over ten to
one against. If We would see how
the German vote went, take a box
which is all German; for instance. in

mania Hall stood Al against and l for

OBSERVING EARTH'S SHADOW
tons Under Which 1t is
Plainly Visible.

Everybody is familiar with the
shadow of the earth as it appears when
the moon is eclipsed, but not many
know that they can see the shadow at
less rare intervals much nearer home.
All that is necessary is a clear sky
at sunrise or sunset, for then the
shadow falls upon the dust of our at
mOsphere in a most noticeable and
striking manner.
If you look eastward as the sun
sinks behind the western horizon, a
broad band of red seems to appear OPP
posite the sum- 1t merges into yellow
glow above, and that in turn blends
into the blue of the zenith. the red
band rises, the under side 0r it fades
into dull slate gray, the umbra Of
the shadow. The observation obtained
from a position that gives clear
sweep Of the horizon discloses the
form of the shadow band as an arch,
the crest of which is directly opposite
the sun. The more depressed the sun
is beneath the horizon, the higher the
arch towers toward the zenith. AS it
rises it becomes less perceptible, until
the red band that borders 1t on top
spreads overhead in rather weak
glow.

A curious example Of the effects OF
environment and changed conditions
of life upon the forms of animals is
furnished by species Of partridge
that lives in the Canary islands. More
than four hundred years ago, says the
Los Angeles Times, the Spaniards
brought the red-legged partridge from
Europe to those islands, and the bird
has continued to flourish there; but.
as recent examinatio proves, it has
undergone changes clearly brought
about by the conditions under which it
lives.
It's back has turned from russell to
gray. That, apparently, is protective
coloring, since the bird passes its life
among gray volcanic rocks.
It's beak has become one-fourth long
er and thicker than that of it's ances-
tors and of it's European relatives and
it's legs afVo have increased in length
and grown stouter.
Those changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit it to the life that
1t is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountainsides of the
islands, where it needs stronger ply
steal development than it needed in its
former home.

COUNTRY HAS GREAT FUTURE
Marvellous Fertility Of Brazil Is Bound
to Assure 1t High Place
Among Nations.

Geographically. the United States of
North America and the United States
of Brazil are somewhat alike. But the
main river system of Brazil runs from
west to east, the tributaries Of the
mighty Amazon spreading out like
fan in such wise as to facilitate water
communication with the most distant
parts of the interior, and to make the
coast cities outlets for the products
Of regions reaching back to the foot
hills of the Andes.
1t is a country Of the future-a ter
ritory almost virgin, indescribably rich
and susceptible of wonderful devel-
opment. Nowhere else does the coffee
tree bear SO bountifully, producing
four times the weight Of fruit yielded
by the plant in Mexico. Cotton and
sugar cane grow like weeds. Rubber
and the chocolate bean are already ex-
ported in vast quantities. Fruits are
Of almost infinite variety. A catalogue
has been compiled Of $4,000 species
Of wood (some of them the most beau
tiful in the world) found in the valley
of the Amazon alone.
