Mr How a Magnificent Avenue Was Cut Through a Miserable District. The most wonderful feature of Rio de Janeiro is the Avenida Central, says Albert Hale in the Reader. Imagine, if you can, a city—Chicago, for in stance—awaking to the realization that there are ugliness, dirt and disease In Its midst; that its streets are ill paved, unwholesome an 1 unequal to the traf fic. Imagine Chicago determined to j change all this by drawing a straight | line through her slums, say, from the j river at Madison street to the corner , of Twelfth and Halstead streets, with , other straight lines parallel and ai ! right angles through other centers of I slumdom! And imagine Chicago, after j pulling down brick and stone, wood and plaster, erecting op these straight lines broad, well paved, well lighted avenues, faced on either side by pal aces, shops, cafes, clubs and business houses, all newly built according to one harmonious scheme so that air and sunshine enter where they were before unknown and so that it be comes a pleasure to walk where hith erto confusion and discomfort were unavoidable. This is what Rio did. The Avenida was cut literally through the heart of the city. From the sth of March, 1904, when the first house was unroofed, until tire opening of th*- Avenida for public use, Nov. 15, 1905. the Brazilian national holiday of Independence, there were 041 houses demolished and over 4,000 people scattered to other and healthier homes. The reactionists who object to the whole plan say that for a tropical city the old streets were best; that these new broad avenues which bring sunlight into dark places have also brought the first cases of sunstroke into Rio. They fail to realize, of course, what cleanliness and fresh air signify. The total cost of the Avenida may reach $s(j.000,000, but It will be worth every cent. Of course there are slums still in evi dence in Rio. A city of 750,000 people,, oue third of whom are negroes, and many of these of the lowest, most ig norant type, cannot he reformed all at once. In the lanes behind the hills and in the districts around the railway sta tion there are native hives as pictur esque and as dirty, though not so crowded or so cut oft - from sunlight and air. us those at Whitechapel In London or East Broadway In New York.
