AS FREE NATION WITH AN INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION

/ l(JN
stock raising, fishing and mining; the
growth of mechanical industries;
transportation progress on land, rivers
and along the coast; postal and tele-
graph services; the work of Brazilian
artists and scientists; the development
Of commerce; and the production and
conservation of foods.
while Brazil cannot claim place
among the great manufacturing ma
tons, the progress made in this line
of activity during recent years has
been remarkable, and the manufac-
tured goods to be exhibited will more
than surprise the average visitor, most
Of whom probably think of Brazil as
land where factory wheels have not
vet begun to turn. The textile indus
try is one of the activities which has
made important progress, there being
thousands of operatives engaged In
the numerous plants within the Fed
eral District and in the State Of
Sac Paulo.
Reasonable Hotel and
Restaurant Rates Fixed
"Will the Brazilian capital be crowd
ed with people during the exposition?
The answer must be yes, and for that
special reason the American Chamber
of Commerce of Rio de Janeiro, in CO.
operation with Brazilian officials, is
preparing to aid the numerous visitors
expected from the United States by
securing uniform and reasonable hotel
and rooming house rates. At all times
many restaurants and cafes of the capt.
tai cater to the public. Meals are
charged at reasonable prices, ranging
from 81 to So or more, according to
the style of the place. Cafes where
coffee and lighter food or refresh
ments are served are numerous and
correspond in a way, to the quick
lunch rooms in American cities. AT
present light breakfast of fruit, rolls
butter and coffee is quoted at mill
reis equivalent to slightly less than
rs cents in United States currency.
What is the climate of the Brazilian
capital. and what kind of clothing will
1t be advisable to take with me? asks
the prospective tourist. In the first
place, it will be summer in the United
States when we sail for the exposition,
aud tropical weather always prevails in
Rio de Janeiro and in northern Brazil
in general. With these facts in mind
the traveller will provide himself with
summer weight clothing; but the wise
yoyager usually carries a topcoat, a
raincoat a steamer rug and at least
one suit of medium weight underwear
for possible changes in temperature or
for use on trips into the mountains,
where the air. especially at night, is
many degrees cooler than at sea level.
A tuxedo or dress suit may be needed
and is always useful. A small steamer
trunk and a suitcase are sufficient to
carry the wardrobe of the average
traveller Rio de Janeiro lies in what
Is termed the second zone, which has
a temperature varying from 70 to 70
degrees Fahrenheit, in the lowlands
and from so ito Ga degrees as more
elevated regions are approached. Dur
ing the months of SeptemberS October,
and November the climatic conditions
of Rio de Janeiro are very good. Oc-
casional showers may be expected with
possibly cool nights, but always warm
or hot days. Land and sea breezes
usually alternate, making the temper
AZURE quite agreeable. Health condi-
tons and sanitary precautions in the
city are excellent and modern, and the
visitor will probably be exposed to
no more danger than when mingling
with the average exposition crowd in
the United States.
