Addition to Rrazil,s Wealth.

The commercial life of Para, Brazil,
depends so essentially on the market
ing of forest products that every effort
is being made to advertise the value
Of a common native plant called "an-
hinga." In the soft beds of mud that
line so many Of the states sluggish
rivers, the plant grows so profusely
that an estimated total of 100000 tons
could be exported annually. The an
hinga is now known as the raw mate
rial from which cellulose is obtained
for the manufacture of linen paper ;
but recent experiments show that the
fibers may be transformed chemically

inc article. One mill is now busy with
this new work, while efforts are being
