Seine Facts About the South -American Republic. The federal republic of Brazil is the largest state in South America, and is greater in area than European Russia; Austria-Hungary, ,Germany, France, Norway and Sweden, Den- mark, Italy and Greece put together. The population of Brazil is esti- mated at about 16,000,000, including 1,500,000 Italians, 1,000,000 Portu- guese and 250,000 Germans. 'Brazil was formerly an empire, but at the revolution of 1889 the empire became a republic and Dom Pedro II., the then emperor, was exiled. - The national congress,. the legisla- tive authority of Brazil, consists of a chamber of deputies and a senate, which meets annually, but no laws can be passed without the president's sanction. The army of Brazil consists of 40,- 000 men, besides 20,000 gendarmerie. Brazil is the naval power of South America, and its navy consists . of three dreadnoughts, two old battle- ships, five protected cruisers and other smaller craft, including eleven torpedo boat destroyers and four sub- marines. Rio de Janeiro, the capital, with a _, population of over 1,000,000 inhabit- ants, is the largest city in South America; it stands on the west side of the bay, of,.. Rio de Janeiro, the most magnificent natural harbor in the world. About three .miles -southwest of the city stands the precipitous cone of Corcovado, nearly 3,000 feet high, up which a cog railway carries 100,000 visitors every year to enjoy what is considered the most magnificent view in the world. It is commonly said that the Ama- zon, the largest river in Brazil, to its, remotest source is nearly 4,000 miles long, but this fact has been frequent- " 1 contradicted. con rad t cted. Brazil is immensely rich, and the minerals are very considerable and valuable, comprising gold, silver, iron, diamonds, topazes and other precious stones. Cattle raising is the most import- ant industry in Brazil, the number be- ing computed at 20,000,000. The chief products of the country are coffee, rubber and sugar cane. There are 15,445 miles of ` railroad open in Brazil and 1,683 miles under construction. The official language of Brazil is Portuguese. • Scientific experimentation in France has ,demonstrated that a flour from which bread can be made can be ex- tracted' from the sugar beet.

LINGERING WEAKNESS FOLLOWINGDISEASE U Banished by the Wonderful Tonic Powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. How often.- victims of disease such' as la grippe, fevers, or contagious troubles are left weak, ailing and des- pondent after the disease itself has disappeared. They do not pick up strength as they ought; remain list- less tired and discouraged. The rea- son for this is that the blood has been impoverished by the ravage of the disease through which the victim has passed. Strength will not re- turn until the blood has been enrich- ed. The blood can be purified and enriched by no other medicine as quickly and as surely as by Dr. Wil- Iiams Pink Pills -to enrich the blood and strengthen the nerves is the whole mission of these pills.. Thou- sands have found them beneficial in bringing strength and energy after disease had left them weak and run down. Miss Hannah Hamilton, Ev- erett, Ont., says:—"After an attack of la grippe I was so run down and anaemic that I could scarcely ' walk. I had no color, no appetite, and con- stant headaches . The- medicine I was taking was doing me no good and I had almost lost hope of getting bet-- ter. et=ter. I was asked to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and it was not long until I could feel that they were helping me, and after taking them for a couple of months I was completely cured. I now never fail to recommend these pills to anyone needing a blood build- er." '" You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail postpaid at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. A MATTER OF CLIMATE. Effect of the Atmosphere on Human Speech. What makes the German and Rus- sian languages so harsh and guttural, so unpleasant to the ear, and the lang- uages of Italy, prance and Spain so fluent, mellifluous and charming? The .former are rasping and sharp, the latter liquid and soothing. Science explains this, ae-it does most of the commonplace phenomena, by simple, natural means. • It is all a matter of climate. For countless generations the people of the cold countries to the north went about bundled up, protecting themselves from the biting cold weather. They spoke little and when they did they spoke as briefly as possible with clos- ed mouths, not opening their lips any wider than necessary to: form the words. This restricted their language, mak- ing it naking"it harsh and guttural. The words were formed in the back of the mouth. In the south lands, where nature was more kindly, the weather never hampered people, so. There the full- ness of nature inspired them to open- ness of expression; the tropical clim- ate made them emotional, . romantic; sensuous. They had more freedom. - Poetry .crept into their speech, for Poetry was in the blue Mediterranean, the blue sky, the highly colored fields, Warmth made them comfortable and increased their passions. Their langu- age was rapid, swelling and volum- inous, explosive. They formed their words in liquid syllables, for those come easiest and axe formed with wide open mouths. Yes, Stili! "It's this way in the black -land belt now," said the New York Evening Post's :friend from Texas: "Cotton's so high that a farmer comes into Dallas,' eats a -square meal at one of the best hotels, puts down a cotton seed, and gets'fifteen cents change.

What thrills can be keener than the thrills of an aviator? Supreme suc- cesses, the narrowest of narrow es- capes, disappointments and tragedies, follow one another swiftly in the lives of the winged soldiers who are fight- ing in Europe. What were the thoughts of Lieut. Robinson when he brought down the Zeppelin over Lon don, and what was in his mind when recently the hostile guns brought him, down in France? Perhaps it is be- yond the power of words to express them. In Tales of the Flying Services, Mr. C. G. Grey tells of a great disappoint- ment and an extremely narrow es- cape that fell to the lot of a young aviator at about the time Antwerp fell. Late one afternoon this officer was out on duty, when far away to the eas he spied a long, pale shape shining i the sun. It was obviously mile away. He had already been in th air for some time, but he knew jus how much gasoline he had in his to when he started and how long he cotild fly before he would have to come down. He •decided to chase the thing for half an hour; that would leave him. a shade over half an hour's fuel with which to get home. Off he went. As he got closer it became clear that the object was on the ground, and dis- tinctly yellow in color, which proved that it wash not a Zeppelin, for all Zep- pelins are.gray.

W. that it was not a Parseval; and so h began to think that he had discovered something rea:.ly new. Still won- dering, he came down lower. Then, suddenly, he saw how he had been sold. His colossal airship was a long, thin strip of overripe grain along the' side of a hill that had been lighted up by the rays -of the setting sun. Sadly and swiftly he made his way toward home, wondering whether he could reach it, for in his enthusiasm he had overstayed his allotted time At the height at which he was flying he was well in the sun, but underneath it was dusk. He could just see the course of canals and rivers gleamin out, of the darkness. In that part of Belgium there is almost always flat ground on each side of the canals, and he made up his mind to land parallel to a watercourse of some kind. By this time he calculated that he must be over territory held by Bel- gians or by British, and not by Ger- mans.' So he edged gently downward, and when he thought his gasoline must be nearly all gone, ' he made for a gleam of water, Very gently he let his machine down until the water alongside which he was flying appeared nearly on his own level. Tien he switched off his en- gine and glided slowly along, anxious- ly -feeling for the ground he could not see. The wheels touched, then the tail skid felt the ground, and without a jar the machine came to rest. The pilot heaved a sigh of relief and climb- ed out. Once on the ground he was able to see nearby objects fairly well, but, as he walked round to the front of the machine, the. ground before him sud- denly vanished. Cautiously he ap- proached the limit of visible grass and discovered to`":his honor that the nza chine had pulled up on the very edge of a deep, disused gravel ,pit. Two yards more and the wheels would have run over the edge, the tail would have lifted, and the. machiny would have plunged forty or fifty feet into a stagnant pool, where he would cer- tainly 'have been drowned if he had not been killed by the fall.

WYNACHT, Bridgewater. Wireless in Warfare. Guglielmo Marconi, senator in the Italian Parliament, captain in the Italian navy, and inventor of the wire- less, when asked recently what he thought the greatest single accom- plishment of the wireless had been in the present war, answered: Its use by aeroplanes. The wireless has revo- lutionized artillery action. Hereto- fore the gunner did not know whether his shot landed accurately or not.. Guns are frequently placed in such a way that the hills intervening cut, off direct observation. But 'nowadays a big gun might be located on low ground and,:actuaily shoot over an ele- vation to 'how ground on the other side and be sure of its aim and range. For the wireless constitutes the eyes of the gun, Aviators remain in the air above the position that is attacked. They watch each shot. As it falls they reportback by wireless whether it, is too far or too short. In less' after r :. , e the than a minute shell has burstthe commanding officer of the artillery battery at the point of origin has a report of the shot fired by each of his guns. A Sad Awakening.

Our Natural Resources. One of the -great movements of the present time is the movement for con- servation of our natural resources. We have gone on as if the world were coming to an end when we were dead. Now we are getting a better perspec- tive. The conservation movement, as was natural, was at first most con- spicuously .identified with the conser- vation of otir forests and our water power, but it must extend beyond the forests and water power. It must more immediately concern itself with the conservation of the soil, for even our brief history tells •us that fertile fields may become abandoned farms through other causes than lack of rainf all.
