A few years ago Buriti was bought by
Presbyterian mission, which estab-
lished a school and has been doing good
work ever since. Mr.. Martin, who Is
in charge, has been very kind to us,
and has gone out of his way to help
us. He told me that five or six years
ago, when the place was bought, no
one passed the doors for five or six
months at a time. Now motor cars
snort and grunt along the rough road
way to the tune of four or five day.
This route, the main road from Tres
Lagoas, in the south of Matte Crosse,
to Cuyaba. the seat OF local govern
ment in this state, is the one the
Frenchman, Courteville. traversed in
his motor car one and half years ago.
The newspapers q few months back
were full of his reports telling how he
met a man by the roadside whom he
thought was Fawcett. I have made
careful inquiries, but have yet to find
the man who takes this report seriously.
Courteville must have seen man who
resembled Fawcett so closely that
mistake was made In identification. /
don't think there Is much more to be
said on the subject, and / am sufficient
" satisfied TO pay no further heed to
the report.
Our wireless was erected yesterday
for the first time, and l sent out
short message to the papers of the
North American Newspaper Alliance.
We have been experimenting on 20
meters, and 1t looks as If we would get
better results with that wave length
than 80. So all amateurs should be on
the watch for GMD on 20 meters as
well as SO.
Radio Men Doing Well.
The men with me are shaping up
nicely. Bill De Mello and Jerry Martin

CHALIAPI GIVES
fine CONCERT

Feodor Chaliapin sang at Polls
Theater yesterday afternoon.
To an audience at once enthusi-
astic and discriminating, the great
Russian brought the halo of a great
career in opera and a fine tradition.
He sang about 20 songs, which
after a fashion of his own he an
rlounced by number, the number
corresponding to one in little song
book supplied with the program.
What the nearer supposes to have
been the heart and soul of Russia
found expression through a wide
variety Of appeal, from the merely
pathetic to the comic. incidentally,
what Chaliapin characterizes as
comic il q. subtle, reflecting drollery
quite different from the laugh-pro-
voking thing we are used to under
that name.
He sang prison partinRs and war
throbbings. and more generally the
peasant sense of wonder at nature.
or the supernatural.
Then he became the sophisticated
opera star and gave ''Mephisto's
Song of the Flea" and rushed back
again into patient, pathetic, enduring,
melodic Russia, and sang The
