Construction of the Brazilian
embassy by Dwight P. Robinson &
Company of New York, from plans
of Frank L. Packard, a Column
bus, Ohio, architect, is nearing
completion. The architecture is
in the Portuguese Colonial style,
hsrmonizing with the Brazilian
mode. A distinctive Latin spirit
will attach to the patio or open
court which the main walls Of
the building enclose. A tropical
garden and fountain will be sur.
rounded on all sides by a wide
corridor OF arched gallery. The
walls Of the patio viii be treated
in a soft buff Caen stone with the

of the finest in the world, is now about
to follow suit and negotiations are
being carried on for the installment of

But the progress of radio in the Ar

casting stations. Numerous amateurs
are getting the craze and new aeriaIS
are appearing daily on the Buenos

To supply the needs of these enthu-
siasts, a number of small shops have
opened up for selling radio apparatus
at eXhobitant prices. This material is
mostly French, with a few American
pieces thrown in, and the greater part
of it is of inferior quality. However,
the Western Electric Company is now
experimenting in the construction or
small and efficient receiving sets to be
sold at reasonable prices, and it is to
be hoped that good apparatus will
soon be within reach of the pocket
books of the radio fans.
Following the example of many
American newspapers, ia Prensa" of
Buenos Aires is now publishing daily
section under the heading "Fifteen
Minutes of Radio Daily" the copy for
which is supplied by the United Fea-

in the morning and are back by night
loaded with fish TO be manufactured
into fertilizer The captains of the
steamers have great pleasure in
knowing that they can fish as far
north as the Capes of the Delaware
and as far south as the Capes of the
Chesapeake and be back to their own
port before night. They also have
satisfaction in knowing that they can
transport their fish products to any
port along the Atlantic coast in their
own boats without any help of rail-
roads.
The fish factory at "Toms Cove"
has been so successful that il has led
to the erection of another one on the
same point of land, by a company of
Chincoteague business men. The new
factory successfully completed its
first year of business last fall and is
in full operation now. This factory
is helping to supply the great demand
for rich fertilizer and expects to have
an even more successful season than
last year.
The fishing season is now on. The
pound fishermen have dropped their
nets in the sea, and are catching about
forty barrels of fish a day. 1t is
especially interesting to note the risks
of the small skiff fishermen. They
begin fishing about the first of April,
leave the home port about three
O'Clock in the morning in a small boat
about twenty-five feet long, going
from ten to twelve miles Off shore in
the ocean, but they take these risks
because they know the kind, quantity
and quality of the fish which they are
going to catch. These fish are the best
quality mackerel and butter fish, two
