The Giant Republic.

You could put all our United States (excluding Alaska) into Brazil and have 200,000 square miles left! There is said to be more unexplored country in Brazil than In all the rest of the world put together! If we had ft river like the Amazon stretching inland from New York, the greatest ocean steamers afloat could sail through the heart of the United States as far as Omaha, Neb. And this land of big things will become as great commercially as she now Is physically. Already four-fifths of the world’s coffee is raised in Brazil.—Dan Ward in World Outlook.
