SODA FACTORY IN BRAZIL An Enterprise in Which American Capital is Interested - Needs Large Block of Land. An American firm intends to erect a factory in Brazil for the manufacture of caustic soda and other chemicals, About 720,000 square miles meters of land have already been purchased by the company near the City of Santos, in the State of Sao Paulo, where it has been granted exemption of muni- cipal taxes by the city of Sao Vicente. It is thought that in the near future the State of Sao Paulo will grant the request of the company for exemption for a period of ten years of the pay- ment of the industrial and professional and State export taxes, the latter be- ing about 12% ad valorem; and the property transfer tax. The amount of capital involved is said to be about $500,000 of which 50 % is to be raised locally. ]n its pro- posal the Government of Sao Paulo states that the company will build the necessary facilities for the manufact- ure of the caustic soda, consisting of tweleve buildings, measuring between 90 and 2,300 square meters each, also an administration building, houses for workmen, night schools for children, and an litdust•ial school for the adult laborers. All these buildings are to be built according to modern industrial and hygienic plants. When the factory is in full opera- tion it is estimated that it will produce daily t5 tons of caustic soda, 15 tons of chloride of ]lune, 600 kilos of muria- tic acrid, and' 600 kilos of chorlide of potash. Each day in these operations the company will require 25. tons of salt, 10 tons of lime, 400 kilos of muriate of potash, and 2 ton of char- coal. Children.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-lBxo- due 5:1-61; Hebrews 11:23-27. The book from which the next eight lessons are taken is a ebutinu- ation of the story of the chosen people. Its central theme is redemp tion -the deliverance of Israel from bondage and their separation unite God. The question of relationship from Egyptian bondage is a type of our own redemption from sin's bond- age (I Corinthians 6:7). Pharaoh represents the devil, and Egypt the world. • T. The Increase of the Chosen Seed (1:7). After Joseph's death Israel quickly grew into a nation. This increase was the fulflIlment of Genesis 35:11, which promise was repeated to Jacob just before going into Egypt (Gen- esis 46:3). If it be the problem of how a little company of seventy per- sons could become an host of six hundred thousand men in so short a time, let us remember that God promised it, and all difficulties will vanish. There is a time coming when there shall be another amazing .in- crease in Israel (Ezekiel 36:10, 11, 37, 38; 37:26). U. A Now Dynasty (1:8-10). Joseph's elevation in Egypt was during the reign of the Hyksos kings, Being of Semitic origin they were not hostilo'to the 1-Iebrews, but when there "arose up a new king which knew not Joseph" (v. 8) the amazing growth of the Israelites ex- cited his envy and fear (a'v. 9, 10). This fear was twofold: (1) In case of war they might join the enemy and fight against them. (2) Lest they should remove frons the land, thus cutting off a vital source of revenue and exposing to danger the eastern border or the land, 31T. Menern•es to Cliecic the Growth of Israel (1:11-22). These measures place on exhibi- tion the folly of Worldly wisdom (1 Corinthians 3:19). Their fatal mis- take was that they lett God out of their calculations. God bad promised that Israel should be great in num- bers and mighty in power. Re who plans against God shall miserably fat/ and shall be shown to be a foot. 1. Cruel Taskmasters (vv, 11-14). They were placed under heavy bur- dens. Cruel taskmasters were placed over them wbo forced them to labor in building treasure cities and all manner of service in the field. This measure was ineffectual, for "the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew," This rapid growth resulted in more intense bur- dens being heaped upon them. 2. Murder of Male Infants by the Midwives (vv. 15-21). This measure also miscarried, as the midwives feared God 'and chose to obey him. Because they refused to destroy God's people he gave them homes and children and the joys thereof. 3. Drowning of Male Children in the River (v, 22). In order to make this measure effective all the people were charged with the responsibility of casting the Hebrew male children into the river. This mandate seems to have been given shortly before Moses was born. This plan likewise was foiled, and the very child who when a man upset his throne, was sheltered and nurtured in his own palace. IP. The Birth and Education of Moses (2:1-8). Tho measure which was designed to destroy the Hebrew menace, also brought to Pharaoh's palace and educated there the very man who afterward shattered the Egyptian power, and set free the enslaved peo- ple. The faith of Moses' parents caused them to ignore the, command of the king and hide him for three months (Hebrews 11:23). Faith In God is the antidote for fear (Psalms 27:1.), His mother discerned in him a proper child, pr a'chiid fair to God (Acts 7:20), and believed him to be the deliverer of his people. She no doubt instilled this truth it his mind from his childhood. Perhaps led by the story of Noah's ark she made an ark of buirtisites and placed Moses in it and left it at the place where Phar'aoh's daughter would be attract- ed when elle came down to bathe. Miriam, leis sister, was pieced where she could watch the affair. She name with a suggestion at. the opportune moment as to a nurse for the baby. Education at his mother's knee gave character, and education at the Egyptian court qualified him to be the histo•1u.0 and lawgiver of his people. Inward Liberty.

"You ungrateful dog! This is your return for my care and forethought for you, is it? Do you retract every word which you have said, or l'II cut you off without a penny," and with a fearful oath he swung himself a- round in Itis chair with such violence as to overturn the small onyx table upon which the cigars were standing shattering it to fragments. The young man paused directly in front of his father. "I retract noth- ing," he said, quietly but firmly. "You are at liberty to follow the example of old Ralph Maxwell Mainwaring if you wish, but you may regret it later, as he did." "And do you -'think Edith Thornton will marry a penniless beggar, a paup- er? Or do' you propose to live upon her fortune?" "No; I will not touch a penny of her fortune," he replied, lila cheek flushing; "and. i am not quite a paup- er, for 1 have the money left me by Uncle Tom years ago; and if Edith is the girl to be turned from me under the circumstances, why, the sooner I find it out the better." "A paltry twenty thousand pounds) a fine fortune!" sneered his father, ignoring his last remark. "Many a fortune has been made from a much smaller start; but it is useless to waste words further. You understand my position, and that is enough. Mr. Whitney," he continued, addressing the attorney, "according to the terms of Hugh Mainwaring's will, 1 and not my father, am heir to the pro- perty, and therefore the one to con- test the claim of Harold Mainwaring if it is contested at all, I wish to state to yen here and'now, distinctly, that• 1 will not contest the case, nor tvi11 1 authorize any one to de so for one; and now, gentlemenn, 1 bid you both good - evening!" and he quietly left the 1Onrrr.

"He has the Mainwaring blood all right," replied the attorney, with more inward admiration for the young man than he dared to express. "Not If he will throw away a for- tune in this manner; it is probably some boyish whim, however,, and the young fool will look at itin a cliff erect light 'to -morrow," "1 think not, Mr, Mainwaring," said the attorney, quietly; "he Is e- nough like 1!ogh Mainwaring, and like yourself; that when he decides upon a certain line of action, ire will not be easily turned aside. You may rest assured that he will have noticing whatever to do 'with this contest, and that if you wish to carry on the fight; you will have to do so under .your own colors." "I'll do it, too," he replied, fiercely;, "111 enter proceedings in my own name, as the nearest heir after Hugh Mame:wine "In that case, your brother must be notified, as he will he entitled to share. the estate with you; that may cause us, sterid little delay, but---" "Curse it alit" the other Interrupt- ed, angerly' "1 had' not thought of that; lie will have to conic ie for a share; 000101und that boy's fooltsheessl 1'11 get 11014 of Minn te-morrow morn- lhq and see if I cannot talk some real 5015 into flim," and Ralph Mainwaring relapsed tete sullen silence.

Tile two 111511 shook hmicls warmly, and together passed out into the cool, starlit night "When did you arrive, Merrick? and from what part of the compass?" quired the attorney, "Got in on the 9;30 train," the de- tective replied, seeming not to have heard the second question; "learned you were at Mainwaring's, so I stopped in, but told the butler not to disturb you, as I was in 110 hurry," "1 noticed you were looking over the evenings papers, did you read the account of this morning's proceedings in court?" "I did." "What do you think of them?" "1 am not in tate least surprised." "Not surprisedl'; echoed the at- torney.. "Do you mean to say that the reappearance of the missing secre- tary as the heir to the Mainwaring estate is no surprise to you?" "None whatever," Merrick replied, with the most exasperating coolness, adding, as he noted the other's incredu- lous siriile, "you may recall a hint given you at Fair Oaks, one evening, of the possible existence of claimants, perhaps not far distant, whose rights superseded those of Hugh Mainwaring himself." Mr. Whitney started involuntarily as the detective's ' words of a few weeks before were thus recalled, then looking his companion squarely in the face, he exclaimed, half playfully, half indignantly, "1 don't suppose you will go as far as to claim any familiarity with that old will which has just been resurrected," "Well," will Merrick, deliberately stopping to relight his cigar, "i was a- ware that there was such a will in ex- istence, or at least that it had existed up to the time of Hugh Mainwaring's death, and I. supposed all along that it was in the possession of Harold Scott Mainwaring, otherwise known as Harry Scott, secretary."
