NOT LIKELY THE TRACES OF
BARBARISM ALL CAME OFF

Three little children playing In
dian" near the crossing of the Moline
q Natertown interurban road and the
Burlington at East Moline drew the
attention of passengers who were
awaiting connections between the
two cars that run on the opposite
ends of the line yesterday afternoon.
The youngsters were having partic-
ularly good time and their likeness to
real Indians was considerably aug
mented by the fact that all. from the
youngest, aged about four. to the
oldest, had Ornamented their feat
ures plentifully with dark red paint
from a bridge near by that had just
been receiving attention at the hands
of painters. Those who saw them
could not help picturing scenes later
in the afternoon when mother found
the young members of the tribe and
endeavored to change them into eau
casians once more.

Iy knows more of the Uganda region
than any other man living. in his re-
port on the country made as special
commissioner for the Uganda protec-
torate describes it as unparalleled in
tropical Africa. He declares it to be
admirably watered fertile and cool,
covered with noble forests and but
sparsely inhabited. He adds that ii is
quite as healthy for Europeans as
Great Britain itself. A very interest
ing feature Of his report has to do with
the various vegetable growths of the
country, which would seem to be re-
markable for the size they assume.
Plants which in the temperate zone
are properly regarded as small attain
in the Uganda a growth many times
that which is characteristic of them in
lands farther north.
As for the people-and, one might also
say. las for the neighbors which the
Jews will find awaiting them"-they
make up in peculIarities what they may
lack III numbers. The tract of terri
tory which has been offered by Great
Britain is perhaps 200 miles long by 90
or 100 miles in width. In that there
are now living seven distinct tribes OF
African natives, one of them already in
state of some civilization. but the
other six enthusiastically barbarous,
though Sir Harry Johnston is the au-
thority for the statement that all of the
them are well disposed toward the
white man and willing to study and
initiate his ways. The Baganda peo-
Dle wear ElrODean clotheS-that is.
Turkish garments-and most of them
speak little French or English. The
other peoples of the region still go in
the state of undress so long associated
with African natives.
Probably the strangest of the tribes
are the Kavironidos, whose cannibal
traditions still prompt them to file their
teeth to needle-like points. and the
famous Kiagwe dwarfs, n tribe of
diminutive hunters which wanders
over the greater part Of eastern At
RIGA between the Victoria NyanZa and
the vicinity of the Indian ocean.
