HOP OVER EQUATOR Flight From French Guiana to Brazil Almost Devoid of Human Habitation. For a lonesome airplane trip one feed not seek out the North or South Poles. A flight across the Equator, from Cayenne, in French Guiana, to Para, in Brazil, was almost as devoid of any sight of human habitation, ac- cording to a dispatch from Frederick Simpich, in charge of the National Geographic Society’s aerial survey of seaplane paths from New York to Buenos Aires. “We zoomed across the Equator one afternoon at 2:15 o'clock,” Mr. Simpich writes. “On an 8-hour flight from Cay- enne to Para we hit the Big Mark in the Amazon delta, just east of the north end of Mexiana Island, on our 169-mile hop across the mouth of the world's mightiest river. No Habitations for Two Hours. “For more than an hour we were out of sight of land. Even before that, in the huge northeast shoulder of Braazil, what an empty land! For more than two hours, after flying over the Oya- pock, near the Guiana border, we saw no human habitation. “Flying thus into Brazil from the north, one wonders where its 38,000,000 people keep themselves. It was not till after we turned inland, half way down the inside coast of Maraca Island, in search of a lonely gas station on Lake Monte Negro, that we again caught sight beings. Now far-separated, oofed huts appeared and finally a tiny settlement. Then little known Lake Monte Negro, a mere puddle of fresh water in an infinite waste of salt marshes. “*T flew around for two hours hunting 1t, the first time I brought a plane down this way,’ said Pilot Hawkins. ‘To get gas here from Para we have to use first & steam launch, then canoes and on s¢he last lap the Indians carry the cases on their backs. Gas delivered here costs a dollar a gallon.’ Landing in a “Jungle Puddle.” “This jungle puddle, from high above, seemed too small to land in. But, after many turns and careful calculations, Hawkins set the big Argentina safely down; although at the last minute he had to jump a floating log which would have smashed our hull had he not seen it in the nick of time. Our Indian helpers, with bows, arrows, and spears, and scme fish and turtles they had killed, were waiting to man the gas pumps. A storm blew up while we worked, ruffling the little lake and ald- ing us with its strong wind to get our heavy craft off the water. k “‘Heading into the blinding rain, us- ing all our 1,500 horsepower, Hawkins raced the big boat the full length of the pond and jumped into the air. With only seconds to spare we cleared the tree tops and headed south. A purga- tory, indeed, a watery wilderness of islands, dismal swamps and dead retches for weary miles till you reach the River Araguary. Crossing it. we came soon to the muddy banks of the inccmparable Amazon itself—a vast, yellow, sinister sea before which puny man can only marvel at the majesty of nature. You sense the colossal power and magnitude of its mighty, moving bulk when you fly its far-flung delta banks and see its mud flats covered with countless thousands of glant forest trees, wrenched by the roots and scat- tered like matches. Snakes, Crocodiles, Cattle. “Bearing southeast, we skirted the channel islands of Caviana and Mex- iana, split by the Equator, crossed the east end of the great wooded isle of Marajo with reed fish traps in its estuaries, countless herds of cattle, giant snakes, crocodiles, jaguars and wild river pigs, and turned south for Para, or Belem as it is also called. “T crawled up into the pilot house to get a full view of the city from high above. Wheeling over its busy docks, coal barges and many visiting steamers, we landed, completing the first great lap of the long aerial survey of sea- plane paths to Argentina.” PROXY OF BRIDE FILES SUIT FOR ANNULMENT Young Woman Claims She Married Sister's Sweetheart Just to Be Obliging.

DARWIN, Australia (4).—Native dug- {cuts painted with opium led customs men on Melville Island to the discovery |of a new method of smuggling drugs into Australia. The blacks explained that they found big bundles of tin cans tied together and attached to a float. They thought the cans contained paint and were de- lighted at the opportunity to fix up their canoes. Customs officials said the opium must have been thrown overboard from an Asiatic ship to be picked up by con- federates from shore.
