NEW YORK, February 4.—When Col. P. H. Fawcett salled from New York last week to seek the site of a ancient, unknown white civiliza- tion {n Brazil, he took with him what Is probably the most expertly and carefully designed equipment ever taken on any expedition. His ap- paratus, . instruments and clothing were made in London, according to special designs evolved by Col. Faw- cett during his vears of jungle ex- ploration, and they embody the ut- most of strength, light weight and general utilitly Other expeditions have. entered this region and never emerged. Col wcett attributes their failure to three main reasons—improper equip- ment, large numbers and lack of knowledge of means of establishing triendly intercourse with the Indians. Improper equipment he regards as ploring gear of the' three members of his expedition has been worked takes into account every possible eventuality. Special Machete Evolved. through thousands of miles of swamp and jungle, he gradually has refined | to a degree of usefulness which makes it an effective substitute for a whole cartload of ordinary tools. The blade is about 18 inches long, considerably orter than the ordi- nary South Amerfcan machete; de by.the best steel makers of ngland, and relative welghts of handle and blade were proportioned with regard to the last fraction of an ounce. It is the ideal instrument for hacking through the jungle morass it 1s a wicked weapon of defense; it serves all the purposes of a large hunting knife; it is strong enough and heavy enough to be used as an axe; it can be used for gouging and digging in excavation work. Col. Fawcett's boots, rubber tent and hammock covers, chiffon nets for sand flies, gloves, untearable gab- ardine clothing, and similar equip- ment also are the result of years of trial and experiment, and were made by the best English manufacturers. Lightness was sought, first, last and always, as on reaching the jungle it will be necessary to abandon the mules and Indian carriers—none of the tame Indians will venture near this region—and apportion the packs among the three men. Weight All Important. The scientific instruments also are light miniatures of the ordinary in- struments of the kind, including a tiny sextant, proved to be as effective a a large one. The element of weight has been considered, even in the chronometer watches, necessary for taking longitude, Theodolite, glass horizon, anerdids, etc., all have been recast to get the last degree of light weight. Col. Fawcett will obtain his tinned goodd, consisting chiefly of milk, ce- reals and soups, at Rio de Janeiro. His jerked meat and rice will be ob- tained at Cuyaba, the end of his river journey and his last link with ilization, as he plunges into the jungle. All the food will be carried in tight tin boxes, designed to fit into a mule’s pack and save it from the repacious Sauber ant. The lives of the mem-| bers of the expedition will depend on the care and selection of food, as the ’ both Floor and Silk Shades. out with a sclentific exactitude which || 25% Reduction —on many bases of Lamps—including a va- riety of Parchment and THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

They are highly ef- lightweight weapons of 30-30 A supply of soft-nosed bul- will be taken, but no small arms. ‘The matter of arms is not so im portant as it seems,” sald Col. Faw- cett just before his departure. “A" regiment of infantry. armed with machine guns and polson gas would not stand the slightest chance of surviving if these savages wanted to annihilate them. Our only chance is to get on such terms with the In- dians that they will allow us to enter. “On past expeditions I have found that there was absolutely nothing to do but let them shoot their arrows a8 long as they pleased, and then lay down our weapons and walk toward them with arms upraised. Oddly enough, the Indians, while they are expert marksmen, cannot seem to hit @ mark if they are excited or fright- ened. T have had them rain arrows upon me, without hitting any of our party, and after getting among them found they could shoot with unerring accuracy and hit a tiny mark at a long distance. Amasing Skill in Hunting. “For game hunting thelr bows ém quite as effective as Arrows. They have amazing skill in shooting an arow high into the air and mak- ing it descend on a mark 100 yards or more distant. They can gauge this high trajectory perfeotly. If trees Intervene between the marksman and his target, he can send the arrow over the trees and have it drop on the mark. “I know some of the language of the different tribes, but I am con- vinced we will have to learn the language of the Interior people in|| the region of the ancient eity. This will not be as difficult as it seems. In intercourse with Indians it is aston- ishing what one can do with a few words. One can almost carry on af| conversation with sign language.
