feats which seem almost supernatural.
However, it remained for Mr.. Will H.
Barnes, of Sioux City, Iowa, to train
an animal which was generally con-
sidered to be the dullest of quad,
rupeds, namely, the elk. His efforts
have proved beyond a doubt that the
elk is by no means lacking in in
telligence, and his famous diving elks
elicit admiration and wonder from all
who see them perform. Mr.. Barnes
secured the elks when they were
young, and though it required I'M
limited patience, he finally succeeded
in breaking them in harness. While
training the elks, the owner noticed
that they seemed utterly Indifferent
to what height they jumped from, and
he then conceived the idea of teaching
them to dive. The process was q
slow one, but now, after two years Of
labor, they have attained a marvellous
degree Of ability in this feat, as they
make a headlong plunge Of fifty feet
into q tank of water. Herewith is
presented cut representing the elk
making the dive. AS will be noticed,
the animal makes a headlong plunge
with his feet extended.

others hold that they ore an ofshoot
of the Japanese.
Gobien, the French writer, who
studies the people on the spot, says Of
them:
"The natives are not 50 dark as
those Of the Philippines, and are larger
of body than the average European.
They lived on roots, fish ana fruits,
and were extremely active and quick.
Many of them lived over 100 years. :"
Another French writer says that he
saw them dive and swim SO we'll that
they caught fish in their hands under
water.
In character the Ladrones are gay
and amiable, loving pleasure, and
spending much of their time in out
door amusements.
The women are usually lighter in
color than the men, and many of them
are extremely beautiful, with luxuriant
hair reaching almost to the ground.
The Carolines are like the Ladrones,
only more extensive in number and
area, and densely populated. The
islands are widely scattered into three
great groups, the eastern, western and
central. Spain originally claimed all
the groups, but Germany recently
took the Marshall Islands. The cen
trail OR main group, now belonging to
Spain, comprises forty-eight smaller

Archipelago. The principal products
are turtle shell, copra and beche de
mer (Holothuria), which in the Chin
csc markets brings as much as $500
gold per ton.
There is always civil war going on
in the group between the various
tribes, and q firm hand is needed to
keep things in order there. Captain
Butran, of the Velasco Qately sunk at
Manila) who visited the group in 1885,
gives these natives a good name. Cap
tain O'Keefe, however, o wealthy
trader of zap, gives them a doubtful
reputation, putting them down as
folk of piratical and turbulent charac'
ter.
The enormous quartz wheels, the
famous and curious stone money OF
zap in this group, we're quarried in the
Island of Kokial. In olden time there
was great commercial activity here,
and the zap and Pelew folks went on
extended voyages of trading and con-
quest. Bab-el-Thaob is rich in good
timber. Great quantities of yams,
bread-fruits and cocoanuts are grown.
Alligators are found in some of the
creeks, and peculiar kind of horned
frog, There are two kinds of snakes,

The Spanish have done next to moth

everything goes on much as before.
There is no Spanish garrison. The
country is well worth opening up to
honest and energetic trade.

the capital, is also convict settle
ment. 1t is beautifully clean, and
possesses good government officials, Q
hospital, schools and church. The
Spanish residents have usually num-
bered about twenty, and the regular
soldiery about 200, all quartered here.
The militia, comprising about all the
male population, is commanded by
native officers. The civil government
is similar to that of the Philippines.
Postal communication has been quar-
terly.
When first discovered the Ladrones
had O population of about 10000.
Not one of the original race survives,
and the islands are peopled chiefly by
Tagals and Bisayans from the Philip
pines, mixed descendants Of South
American Indians, a colony of Caro-
line Islanders who founded Garapan
in the Island Of Saipan, and numerous
Chamorro-Spanish half-breeds. The
/ census of 1888 reports a population of
6476 in Agana, and total of 10, l72
in all the islands, 1924 being males
5138 females. There are eighteen
schools in the Island Of Guam. Only
ten per cent. Of the Ladrone Islanders
are unable to read and write. Spanish
is the recognized language; but many
of the natives speak little English.
The climate is good and eQuable; sew.
enty degrees to eighty degrees
Fahrenheit is the range Of the Their
mometer.
The present population are de-
scribed as wanting in energy, of IN
different moral character, and miser-
ably poor" They are descended in
part from the original inhabitants,
called Chamonos, and from the Mesti-
EOS, a mixed race formed by the union
of Spaniards with these natives.
On the island called Snypan n colony
from the Caroline Islands, which lie to
the south of the Ladrones, was estab-
lished some years ago. These people
are the most active and enterprising
inhabitants of the Ladrones.
Spain has derived no revenue from
these islands, and has done little to
civilize the people. At one time q
few small schools were started, but
they were soon abandoned.
In 1856 an epidemic destroyed one
third of the population.
August and September are the hot
test months, and the rainfall in the
summer months is very heavy.
Agana, the capital, is we'll built of
timber, and many of the houses have
tiled roofs. There are twenty small
villages on the islands.
So little has been done to civilize
the people that they live in about the
same primitive fashion as character
lied them when Europeans first visited
them.

The chief products for sustaining
life are Cocoauuts and bread fruit.
They grow spontaneously everywhere.
It is said that one cocoanut tree will
feed man. A grove of the fruit trees
to the islander is what herd of COWS
is to the Pennsylvania farmer.
These, with the tons of fish in the
lagoons, which are natural fish ponds,
are responsible for tie profound in
dOlence of the natives. They can
support life without laboring. Some
of the bread fruit trees are ten or
twelve feet in diameter. A single
tree is considered equal in life-sup-
porting capacity to two acres of
wheat. Then there are other pro-
ducts-guava, corn, ordinary wheat,
bananas, figs aud arrowroot.

Far out in the Pacific, where the

but specks on the face of the deep,
Yet there is an empire of island wealth

An earthly paradise it is called.
The capture Of the Ladrones by the
United States with o seizure of the
Carolines just to the south of, the
group makes them of new interest to
Americans.
The Ladrones are q chain Of vol
Uanic islands extending north and
south from latitude thirteen degrees
twelve minutes north to latitude
twenty degrees thlrty-two minutes
south and in longitude about 146 east.
They were discovered by Magellan,
March 6, 1921, and named Ladrones
from the supposed stealing propensi-
ties Of the natives, Later, i'll 1868, the
islands were named Mariana, in honor
of Maria Anne, of Austria, the widow
Of Phillip ~, King Of Spain. The
inhabited islands are Agrigan, Saipan,
Tlnian, Rota and Guam. On the
other islands are volcanoes spouting
fire and steam. The mountains range
from 1000 to 5000 feet high, about
the altitude of the biggest of the
Catskills.
The Spaniards have controlled the
islands without interference or seri,
Gus trouble from the natives. There
is o small garrison at Agana, the cap
ital, where the Goyernor-General has
resided. Many natives of the Caro-,
line Islands have been imported into

groups, making total of four or five
hundred islands.
Among the products of the country
are rice, corn, wheat, sugar, cotton,
tobacco, indigo, bread fruit, castor
oil and kindred necessaries of lifes
Among the curious natural features
are the palm trees, that produce vege-
table ivory; banyan trees that grow
downward, the seeds being planted
by birds high up in other trees, de-
posted in bark and crevices, sending
down rootlets to gather sustenance
and moisture from the soil.
Another tree bears fruit so often
sive in Odor that no man not in pl ac-
, tice can endure it, but once in o
mouth the fruit tastes so delic;ous'v
that he cannot stop eating until it is
devoured.
The women Of the Carolines are neat
and attractive at home or among their
cocoanut trees. The men are indus
trlOus-eVefyWhere displaying ingen-
uity and gentle thrift.
The Caroline Archipelago consists
Of thirty-six minor groups, of which
the nine following are the principal:
The Palaos Or Pelews, zap, Uluthi,
Uleai, Namonuito, Hogolen or Ruk,
the East and West Mortlocks, Bonabe
Or Ponape, and Kusaie, otherwise
called Ualan or Strong's Island.
The Pelew group contains some 200
islands and islets. The principal ISL
and is Bad-el-Thaob, which in area is
equal oall the restput together. The
most important OF the others are Kor,
ror, Uruk, lapel, Malk, PeIeIeu and
