SAvAGES USE ELEVATORS.
Modern Devices Anticipated by Native
of the Island of Timor.

Modern Devices Anticipated by Natives
Of the Island of Timor.
The FIRST knife was, of course, flint
fake. and the earliest spoon a shell,
to which primitive man learned in the
course Of ages to fasten a handle of
wood.
Such articles as these. together with
hammers. axes and needles. are easily
recognized as having come down to US
direct from savagery. 1t is. however.
more startling to find that such a COM
paratively modern invention as the lift
has been used for ages by tribes which
we designate as savages. The appli-
cation Of the principle Of the modern
vertical lift may be seen to-day among
the bee hunters of the island Of Timor.
To get at honeycomb seventy feet
overhead with nothing between it and
the ground but smooth and branch
less trunk seems at first sight impos-
sible without ladders or ropes. It is
a simple matter to the Polynesian. He
cuts a few yards from the tough stem
Of creeepr and forms Of it a bush
rope. With this he makes loop around
the trunk and his body. Jerking the
loop little above his head, he leans
back and begins walking up, his bare
feet pressed against the trunk. Re-
peating the operation. he gradually
gains the top. The whole ascent is
made without exhausting use Of mus
Gle by utilizing the principle Of fric-
ton.
Cotton weaving has done more for
Great Britain within the last century
than any one other industry. The In
dams of Central and South America
have for centuries used loom SO elab-
crate that ours is, comparatively
speaking, but a slight improvement
upon It
We should never have had the Pan
anna hat but for the quick-fngered In
dams Of the isthmus Of Panama. Even
to-day their secret process Of seasoning
the grass blades used i4 weaving these
hats remains unrevealed. Basket
makers Of the same region make bas-
kets which will hold water without
leaking-anotber invention which is
quite beyond us.
Felting was invented by Polynesian
savages and brought by the Hawaiian
natives to a perfection we have never
excelled. They not only made cover
ings for their houses and blankets out
Of the felt but by pounding the inner
bark Of certain trees succeeded in pro-
ducing soft and comfortable seamless
garments Of this material, such az
sleeveless coats and cloaks.
Mortar was made by the people Of
Tahiti when our ancestors were shiver-
ing In holes In the rocks. They dived
into the sea, brought up Jumps Of coral,
burned them In pits. using wood as
fuel, and mixed the lime they got in
this fashion with sharp sand and wa
ter. With this mixture the ingenious
savage plastered the walls and floor
Of his house. and a better mortar could
not be obtained
Another purely savage invention.

Judith lies in a motionless heap. and
two hapless beings are locked within

below it is rapidly advancing.
The fire is consuming one side of
Clara's room-it has fastened upon the

Flames dart above the roof. and

Acting til 5 Ape


Some of the self-appoInted leaders
Of the Democratic party are at the
national convention crying out, Root
out Organism. and yet twelve
months has not passed since that was
recognized by the party as the funda-
mental principle. All remember the
several states that had elections last
fall incuicated more or less Organism
into their platforms and campaigns,
notably Ohio, where Tom johnson
made his big and spectacular light to
beat Herrick, or more especially to
defeat the lamented Mark Hanna.
with these things staring them in the
face it is, indeed, an assumption on
the part OF some Of the re-organizers
rs they call themselves to say that
Organism has naught to do with mod
ern Democracy. Again in this con
section they talk about the principles
Of the forefathers and have spent
eight years in heralding over the
country that organism Is WhaG ) eIleF-
sonianism was, and yet that party is
engaged at this time in trying to re-
flute Organism and unfolding so called
Jenersonianism. IL is an admission
that they do not know what JefTerso-
nianism was and that they are not
sincere IN following Organism. They
go further by saying that the cry q
Imperialism is a dead issue, the cry
theJ repeatedly made. Now they come
along and promise independence to
the philippine islands, the same that
the Republican party has commended
for all the time and which it intends
shall be at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity.
