C., July 25.—Eao Paulo,Brazil, scene of a reported rebel uprising, is the source of the morn- ing aroma fyom millions of steaming coftec cups all over the world, re- ma a bulletin from the Washing- ton, D. C. headquarters of the Na- tional Geographic society, “Sao Paulo, the city, is the pros- erous and bcautiful capital of the rrichest of Brazil's twenty states. The city has half a million people. The slate of Sao Paulo is larger than all New England and Pennsylvania com- bined. It comprises only one-thirty- second part of Brazil's vast area but contains one-eighth of the country’s population. An Enormous Coffee Bill, “To the visitor il seems a: state had two major products, coifee and—statistics! Its aggregate acre- age of coffee trees exceeds the com- bined areas of Delaware and Rhode lsland. There are more than seven coffee trees in the state for every man, woman and child in the United States. At thirty cents a pound the world pays Sao Paulo about $340,- 000,000 annually for her 1,135,000,000 pounds of coffee produced. As a &pe- clalized wholesale grocery her coffee business is only to be compared with Cuba's sugar crop. “(Gieography, religion and romance are strangely blended in Sao Paulo's coffee. Solomon, for all his wisdom, overlooked a potential source of great wealth, for coftee is generally believed tohave originated in Abys- sinia, where Solomon's descendants reign to this day. It was not intro- duced into Brazil until 1723. YA Portuguese sailor was the Cap- tain John Smith of Sao Paulo. He married the South American Poca- Tontas, daughter of the chieftain Ti- birica. That was about 1500. Then came Jesuit missionaries, who are accredited founders of- the state, and when they celebrated their first mass on the anniversary of the conversion of St. Paul they named the country for that apostle. Corn and Potato Move North. “Curiously enough, coffes rules in Erazil, whils two indigenous South American crops, corn and the ‘Irish’ potato, are mainstays in North America. “Sao Paula, the city, is purposeful- ly modern, so much 8o that some of the social and engineering projects were put into effect there while they were still ‘paper programs’ in North Aamerica. “For years now when a new achool- house is built in Sao Paulo the school physicians have passed upon the lighting, the kind of seats to be used, and other hygienic details. Indeed they must even approve the typs and its spacing in textbooks before they are adopted! “An unusual sight of the city is the enake farm. The snake houses, look- ing like bee hives, cover a large tract The snakes are the sources of serum used to treat sufferers from the bites of rattle snakes, the deadly jaracas, and other venomous reptiles. Famous “Coftee Railroad.” “The railroad from Sao Paulo to Eantos, the world's foremost coffee port, is famous among engineers the world over. There is a drop of 2,600 feet in seven miles over one section. Bteel cables, stationary engines and especially equipped locomotives are required for the mile run between the two cities. There are ‘thirteen tunnls but the trains emerge from each to disclose some surprising new panorama of wooded mountain, val- ley of banana or coffee trees, torren- tial stream, or gorge of dizzy depth, “The road is said to be one of the best paying in the world.
