GROWTH DUE IN
 AMAZON REGION

Henry S. Fleming, receiver of the Amazon River Navigation Go. and the Port of Para,'' Brazil, has returned to New York from Europe, where he spent the past three months follow ing his extensive trip through the valley of the Amazon River last sum ner and fall, during which he covered over 5000 miles of the Amazon River and some of it's principal trib 1taries, ascending the main river for 2.5oO miles to Iquitos (Peru), the Purus River for HOO miles as far as HuytanI1am and the rivers Javary, Negro, Branco, Xingu, Tocantins and Moju for varying distances.
 According to Mir. Fleming the Amazon Valley is on the eve of an era of great industrial activity. Dis cussing the economic possibilities of the Amazon region. MT. Fleming said:
 when rubber sold on the world s market at $2.5O a pound, all atten- ton was concentrated on this valua- ble product of which the Amazon had a virtual monopoly; today rubber sells at less than soc a pound, due to the increasing competition of cheap CT rubber from the Orient, and a re- markabIe change has been wrought in the economic situation in the val 1ey.'
 When all labor was attracted to the rubber industry because of the high wages to be earned added MT. Fleming. "agricu1ture was neglected and practically all the food for the workers had to be imported. The Amazon Valley could raise enough food to feed the world, it has a fer

tile soil, bounteouS- rainfall the year round and perennial sunshine, so car rying coaIs to Newcastle would not have been more economically un- sound than importing food to the Amazon. The war and the shortage of shipping have brought about a complete reversal of these conditions: today food is being raised wherever there are settlements or towns, the workers eat more wholesome food and are healthier, the cost of living has been reduced, and the rubber sit uation would probably be in sounder condition than ever before owing to the decrease in the cost of produc- ton were it not for the competition of the plantations of the Orient. Corn, beans, rice, rnandioca, bananas, fruits and vegetables of all kinds are being grown and production is steadily in creasing; last year food was exported to Europe for the first time. Cotton, sugar and tobacco are commanding increasing attention; from Para to the Andes cotton can be grown sue cessfully, and Amazonian cotton is of excellent quality, with unusual ly long staple. In January last a small quantity of sugar was shipped to Liverpool. Sugar cane has always
 
 in certain districts, but the cane has been used only for the manufacture ia native rum which is popular with all classes. Sugar, cotton and to- bacco, as well as corn, rice, beans and other foodstuffs, will undoubtedly fig ure prominently in Amazonian ex- ports of the future.
 There is a demand for modern machinery of all kinds. The agricu1- tural methods now employed are primitive; there is no modern agTi- cultural machinery in the valley. A motor tractor would be, regarded with as much curiosity as a balloon. There is a demand for cotton ginning | and compressing machinery, polishing
 machines for rice, sugar milling ] equipment Cocoa, has always been
 an important produce of the Anna 1 zon; the plantations which were ) abandoned during the rubber boom
 are being reopened. The Govern

BALLOONS TO AID
 WRECKED PLANES

The Navy Department is seriously considering the adoption of a new and most ingenious contrivance, the invention of a British officer, Col. Busteed, for saving the lives of fly ing men when their machines fall into the sea.
 Under such circumstances the or dinary airp1ane, weighted down by its heavy engine, sinks quickly, drag ging with it the occupants. If a hy- droplane, or a flying boat it may support itself on the surface for a while, but is likely soon to be ship wrecked, those on board losing their lives.
 The device consists of two cy1in- drical balloons attached to the bot tom of the airplane's body, one on each side. Under ordinary condi- tions, collapsed, they have very small bulk and oppose no appreciable re- sistance to the air
 In case of accident they can be readily inflated at a few minutes notice, attaining a diameter of about three feet This the aviator acconp1ishes by pressing a button which releases a, valve and allows compressed air to flow into the bal looms from fEasks contained within the body of the machine.
 Thus provided with means of SUD- port on the water, the machine, ii it falls or is compelled to aaight up- on the sea, cannot sink. If no help is near at hand, it will float for days while those on board await res cue by some passing vessel-a pros pect made much more hopeful by the fact that the airplane, being up
 held by its balloons, is a conspicuous | object.
 Our own and other navies are do- | ing much to develop the flying boat l which is assuming some new and very curious forms. In one of them | the propeller is neither at the head
 nor the tail of the machine, but 1 actually in the middle of it's body. Another is built for running or | land or water (when not in the air l it's wheels being drawn up out O. 1 the way when it is starting from ol

ment has granted concessions for the building of short lines of railroad in various sections, and motor roads are being constructed to open up the in terior back of the river banks in many places. This will mean a new market for railroad equipment of all kinds, for motor trucks and the like'
