Seris having been taken from their kind In in
fancy, like wild animals. and brought TO a de-
gree of civilization. FL Captain kOluso, an in
terpreter for the Mexican Government and Lola
a Seri maiden. kidnapped and adopted by Gen
eral Morales, are the isolated exceptions that
prove the rule.
Despite seventy odd years spent among eau
casians, Kolusio still longs for his native heath
and il is said that nothing but fear of his tribe
by whom he has long been outawed has kept
him true TO civilization. Lola Morales on the
other hand. embraced every opportunity offered
by her foster parents, and developed great abiI-
ity and charming traits of character. Soon after
reaching her majority. however, she died.
The most characteristic trait of the Ser is
the pedestrian habit, which affects warriors
women and children alike. Their jacaIs. or
huts, and even the larger raucheries. are more
often vacant than occupied and in every case
are located from four TO ten miles from the fresh
water from which the occupants are supplied

Chinese coolies.
THE chest development OF the Seri Indian
is strikingly broad, deep and long, recalling ths
racer or the greyhound His robustness Of bod1
and slenderness OF limb are emphasized by the
absence Of flesh. so tha. the Seri may be re-
garded as the human thoroughbred. This SIM
larity is further illustrated by the 1eshy cover
ing of the feet, ankles and lower limbs which
is incredibly hard and firm, resent bling that Of
horse rather than a human being. This pro
tective covering makes it possible for the Sers
to run through cactus thckets, where the
horse, the dog and even the light coyote das
rot follow"
A Mexican when asked about the Seris re-
piled with cumulative vehemence: They killed
my father. They killed my brother! They have
killed half of my friends"' AS he spoke be
barred his breast, displaying a frghtful scar
There struck a Seri arrow; then pointing to
ragged cicatrix, extending from shoulder to
wrist. he added, The Serbs have teeth"
In the Seri estimation the brightest virtue Is
the shedding Of alien blood, while the blacklist
crime in their calendar is alien conjugal union.
Constant warfare from without and from with
in has caused preponderance of the feminine
element, and this has led to the existence Of
pOlygamy. No special formalties attend the
taking of supernumerary wives. who are usu-
ally the widowed sisters Of the first wife, but
the ceremony of the primary mating is so eabO-
rate as TO prove that marriage is one of the
profoundest sacraments Of the tribe and inter
woven with the essential hbres of tribal exist
ence. Few if any other people devote such
anxious care TO their mating as do the SeFis
and among few other folk is the moral aspect
Of the conjugal union vigorously guarded by
collective action and individual devotion.
New-York tribune., 1902-10-12

At least four expeditions to the island have
fallen victims TO the poisoned arrows Of the
natives That these people cannibals is
generally asserted though never proved. From
ali reports the inhabitants of the African jungle
are scarcely more uncivilized than the people
Arizona Charlie has gone TO destroy.
The origin of the Seri is mystery They are
like 10 other Indians on the North American
continent. and resemble none of the South
American tribes except. perhaps. the Patago-
mans one writer declares that they speak the
Welsh dialect. and account for il 10y the wreck
Of foreign vessel off the coast of Tiburon in

According to the latest estimates there are
about three hundred Sers left on the island
less than one-third Of whom are warriors So
far as known. the only party 20 visit "Seriland"
and return safely was the one sent out by
the American Bureau of Ethnology in charge
of Professor Niece. The professor says.
