Eisb Plentiful in Chile.

Along the coast Of Chile, many
sections of which are practically un'
inhabited at present, graves of the
aborigines are found in great num-
bers, and they invariably contain
implements for sea fishing. From
prehistoric times the coast of Chile
has been noted for its diverse and
extensive fisheries. The fishes are so
plentiful that sea birds by the mil
lions, feeding on them, are found
along the coast, and the numerous
guano islands indicate the great
length of time the birds frequented
these waters. With methods similar
to those used in other countries, the
fishing industry could be revolutions
lied and established on very large
scale. The present methods in Chile
are no more advanced than they were
thousands of years ago. The need Il
felt by the Chileans themselves. Tht
lack of sea food was recently the
subject Of demand from the labor
ers to the government.

PERSONS OF ROYAL DESCENT
In Natural Course, Millions Might Lay
Claim to Blood of William
the Conqueror.

There are more claims of descent
from William the COnquerOr than from
any monarch in the world and in most
cases a descendant of this king comes
down line of 10 or 20 other royal
personages. although sometimes the
descent from monarch to plain, I'M
titled yeoman seems to have been ac-
complished in two or three genera
tions. There is practically no limit to
his descendants today and one geneal-
ogist says this fact is accounted for by
the statement that, according TO the
regular proportion of increase in each
generation since his time. the descend
ants Of William the Conqueror would
now number more than twice thesbres.

of course, it is very easy to see how
many of them came over TO the United

didn't notice the odd. studying look the
girl gave him. But he promised to go;
and next day he went.
Tommy told Annabelle about the
speed and rush Of the great move
ment when the Americans cleaned out
the Verdun salient; how most Of the
doughboys were racing to get in touch
with the enemy, but now and then
coming unexpectedly on the deadly ma

Captain Cushman, commanding Tom

age of lieutenants, had stormed one OF
these enemy positions and had been
shot leading his men across an open
field. "He died bravely, Miss Anna
BELLE" said Tommy, in conclusion. Il
wish he could have lived to come
back" And then, after a little, the
new Tommy asserted himself enough
to venture-"to you"
Annabelle looked straight at Tommy.
"As soldier" she asked, "do you
think it was necessary for Captain
CuShman to lose his life at that time
and place? Do you think those Huns
could have been driven out without q
frontal attack? Was it good leader
ship to do what he did"
"Why, Miss Annabelle," exclaimed

or Brazilian cowboy, living his daring
and picturesque existence apart on the
southern interior plains; then there Is
the important section of Brazilian s0ci-
ETY. best seen in its original home IN
the state Of Minas-the fazendeiro, or
caipira, as he is sometimes called, the
country magnate whose wealth Is MS
proud plantations, and who lives also
more or less isolated with his family,
constituting his own kingdom inde-
pendent and free and h0spitable as
was any of our old southland planters,
or any medieval baronial lord. 1t is
this land holders class that makes a
strong appeal to young and old Brazil
alike.
This king of the land and horses
and wide distances fascinates and calls
forth something inherent in the Bra
lillian character This country is first
of all an agricultural domain of colos-
sal area, and the fazendeiro still holds
in his hand the nations key. OF him

plunged suddenly into this diverting
cOngeries Of human, national and ra-
cial amalgamatiOn, is inclined to SYM
pathize with the probable enlighten-
ment of Colonel Roosevelt, who is re-
ported to have inquired Of sea cap
tain concerning the population of
certain West Indian island. when the
old sea dog replied: well. there are
some Spanish, few French, some Por-
tuguese, a few Dutchmen and dozen
other races the Lord didn't intend"
The amazing wonder of all (espe-
cially to North American less famii-
lar with European races, and holding
decided views concerning color lines,
etc), is the manner in which this coun-
try is slowly, and apparently with har-
mony and democratic social and racial
relations, evolving a distinct Brazilian
type. The salient characteristics OF
what is becoming to be known as the
true Brazilian character include the
aristocratic culture and high intelli-
eence of the old family Portuguese
stock. at once Latin and Moorish by
inheritance, the exaltation, daring ana
passion of vigorous aborlgine's blood,
softened by the affectionate, emotional
strain of the African, especially in
north BraZil-the whole shot through
with typical modernity and enterprise
that marriage and general contact with
European races have afforded. With
snch elements, the national home life
of Brazil is being compounded.
The Latin races are said to be lack
ing in homelike qualities, as compared
with English or Teutonic peoples.
Moreover, the Portuguese, who gave
Brazil formative principles, were more
truly the copyists Of Roman civiIiza-
. tion than any other European stock,
and the Romans were famous for their
slight attention TO the home. Yet Por-
