Future of Brazil.
Brazil, which is almost wholly in the tropics, has the opportunity to upset the belief that no people can reach the very highest civilization in a tropical climate. The census, just completed, credits Brazil with 30,500,000 people, which makes it the second American country in point of population. Some modern men of science maintain that when means have been found to utilize the heat of the sun as mechanical energy the tropics will become centers of production and therefore of civilization. If that should be true, what country could match Brazil, with its great resources of minerals, timber and land, and its great navigable rivers?
