display of these strange. people will be
entirely different from anything hitherto
attempted. That the display will DO. q
large one Will be understood when It Is
known that each of the countries of
South and Central America is expected
to- send at least one tribe, while Mexico
will follow suit. as will the Philippines.
LIVE AS AT HOME.
. 1t is not the intention of the manage
Elent to simply get these strange folk
here and allow the public to- look upon
them; they will live while at the Pan

which they exist and show their ways Of
conducting their daily industries, religious
rites and modes Of warfare.

It Is at southernmost end Of South
America that these people live, and but
little Is known of them. True the charge
has been made. that they have the I'M
pleasant habit Of Kidding the race of the
old women whose days of work have
passed; smothertng them first In a green
wood fire and then picking the meat from
the venerable bones
The charge Of cannibalism is not proven
against these cheerful SOULS but ii would
rot be strange were 1T true, for the land
IN which they live is so dismal and
wretched that any crime may be- for
given the jewellers therein.
The food on which these beings most
depend is fish. mollusks, and an OCCASION

II is impossible to tell at this time all
OF the tribes that will be represented
at the congress, but if present plans. do
not misearry there will be thousands of
these strange folk within the gates when
