Whereupon she replied: eyes, but 1
rear you Will eat me. Now it must be
understood that, in common with all peo-
plo west of the Nile, the Akkas are
anthropophagic. and eating others, ex-
cept when captured to be eaten in turn.
Ilcki-Iicki, round and fat, had made
up her mind that she would Ego to pot''
IN the fire of an Akka-stew in short
order. When assured that the white
man eschewed such a practice as akul
mas, that is, eating people, she was
amazed, and seemed incredulous, Nor
was her incredibly and fear allayed for
several days, and only when bright red
haudanna handkerchief (highlv priced in
the Soudanl had been given her, did she
appear TO forget her fancied danger.
With true feminine vanity she set about
ornamenting herself in its folds (by
tieing II around her neck), and babbling
away IN her native tongue, she executed
a series of acrobatic feats, vaulted in the
air, turned somersaults and amazed my
soldiers greatly and with whom she soon
became great pet.
Ilckl-Ticki subsequently told me her
story. She had been sent as a slave,
with other of her people, to the court of
-hunZi, King Oh MonDutto, of whom Dr..
Schweinfurth speaks in his ''Hsart of
Africa, and that thence she had been
taken by her Arab captors. Congo, she
said, was king of the Akkas, who lived
in the jungle, their houses being made
by tieing together the tops of the high
grass or canebrake, and cutting out at
the base and center a space sufficient for
shelter. Armed with the diminutive
spears or arrows "a number of which sbe
gave me), the Akkas of both sexes Went
to the war against their enemies or
hunted the elephant. They attack the
latter in veritable swarms, confusing the
beasts by their cries and then literally

very long and fell TO their knees, and
even below and their beard much longer
than that of other men, SO long, indeed
that when grown to its full length they
used no other clothing, it being ample
for that purpose. NJ. Quatrefages is of
the opinion that the people mentioned by
Ctesas may have been the BRnda-Loks :,
which signifies men monkeys. The an
cient Egyptians knew of the pygmy races
of Central Africa by their present name
of Aska, and MarIette Pasha, the great
Psychologist, found upon a monument of
ancient Egypt the figure of a dwarf with
the name inscribed thereon.
In 1925 Battel, first of all modern trav-
elers, recites certain facts in relation to
the Pygmies whom he discovered in Lo-
ango, and following him, Dapper wrote
of the MimOs or Bake Bakekes, near
Loango. In the present century Admiral
Fleuriot, Paul du Chaillu and NJ. Marche
have each discovered tribes known Us
N'Jayis, Apudjis, O'Katas, and
O KOas. DR.. Wolfe and D'Abbadie in
turn have visited a pygmy race, the fin
lest of all mortals, and known as the Ba-
tOuas. over whom LoulIengO of Bahou-
has was king. DR.. Schweinfurth gives
an interesting description of the Aka
guardsmen of his majesty, Munza, king
of Monbutto, and brought away with
him a boy named Nsevoue, who unfor-
tunately died at Berber, on his way
down the Nile.
NJ de QuatrefaCes, in referring to the
pygmy woman Ticki-Tic discovered by
the writer, distinctly avows the impor-
lance Of the of the notes presented in her
case, with the inappreciable value Of the
fact that Miss Ticki-Ticki corroberated

his reach a watch of the best kind made-one

Time was when the stop-watch, with the split

tracks, cost many hundred dollars and could be

case OF sufficient thickness to protect a watch
was out OF the range OF possibilities of nearly ali
men. The decrease in the cost of manufacture
of movements and the invention of three sheet
now brings both these within the means of
many, and almost to the price which is charged
by swlndlers for the gold washed limitations
and brass counterfeits of common watches. The
genuine gold filled or reinforced cases

facturers are the same for and wear as solid
gold cases and may be so considered and treated.
