something like it was when l was a

There isn't any testimonial in Germany

most precious possession. The German

The meeting tomorrow will be impOr-
tant from the fact that the place and
time of the next meeting and the manner
of gathering information will be fully
discussed. In general, any individual
who thinks he can throw light on the
troublesome conditions and disastrous re-
suits connected with the late strike will
be given hearing. Everything will be
done to expedite the taking of testimony
and to prevent too great a repetition OF
statements, but as the commission has
been named to make full inquiry, no
salient points will be overlooked
In this view of the case the duration
of the commissions official life is uncer-

or it may have to continue hearing testi-

spring.

Sessions will also be held in Philadei-

more readily by trip of the commits

of people, the arbitration board will do
the travelling.

the Long Ju-Ju'' have just come out
of the interior from correspondent
with the AFRO expedition. 1t is eSti-
mated that every year 500 pilgrims
journey to the sacred spot to receive
the fetch decree and advice which is
vouchsafed to them by the recognized
powers. To most of them it is dear
experience. About fifty of them are
sacrificed annually in order that their
skulls may be offered to the gods,
while fully 200 people are sold into
slavery. The remainder are allowed
to go away free.
The Long Ju-Ju'' is one of the
most fascinating spots in western
Africa to the curious1y inclined ex-
plorer. On account of its sacred
holdings it is closely guarded by the
natives, and it is by no means easy of
access, even when the traveller is &C
companied by an experienced and Ii
censed guide. The utmost secrecy is
observed In approaching its entrance
In addition to the difficulties the con-

the ground and topped with human
skulls. The other is made of wood
and supports more skulls, bones,
feathers, blood, eggs, and other votive
offerings to the Ju-Ju, including the
head of the last victim.
Over the rock from which the run
ming water springs is roof of human
skulls with curtain, the top part of
which is composed of clothes and the
lower part of native mating, screen
ing the rock and hanging just short
of the waters edge The lower por-
tions of the rock composing the other
sides of this crater are draped with
mats only.
The sacrif1cial function of the Ju-Ju
are performed on the left side of the
entrance, opposite the island, where
a fat-topped ledge has been hewn out
of the rock The waters as well as the
walls and whole interior of the char

pool is about twelve inches deep and
abounds in tame, lazy-lOoking, gray

Fifty human lives are sacrificed
every year at the Long Ju-Ju,' one
of the many fetch centers that dot
the jung1es of central and western
Africa in order that evil spirits may
be banished from the land and the
wrath of the gods appeased. The
Long Ju-Ju'' is one of the most no
torious and most powerful meccas of
the slaves of fetichisIn. It is here that
hundreds of the superstitious natives
pile up their material offerings to the
spirits and journey in resO1ute bands
to deposit the relics of Ju-Ju rites.
