THE GIANT INDIANS.
Peculiar Ways OF the Onas of TIERS
del Fue@O.

del Fue&O.
The Onas, Il tribe of Indians inhabit
ing tile mainland of the TERRA del Flu
ego island. are physical giants. Their
average height is over six feet. A few
are six and one-half feet: a few fall be.
low six feet. The women are more cor
pulent and not so tall There In ma
race in the world with more perfect
physical development than the Ona In
dams. Ills Is partly due TO the topog-
raphy OF the country and the distribu
ton of the game. which makes long
marches across the country a necessity.
In mentality they fall far below their
physical attachments In the past their
supply of game has been plentiful, and
this may account for the lack OF In.
ventive genius among them. This lack
of progressive skill IL portrayed in their
home life, clothing and homes. Their
children suffer from 1t, for, contrary to
the practice common among most In
dams of feeding, dressing and training
the children well, the Onas' little ones
are mostly naked. poorly fed and alto
gether neglected. They have abundant
material for supplying themselves with
clothing and homes. and yet they throw
few branches together, put skins over
the windward side and then shiver nm
der the miserable shelter.
Scientists who have made study OF
the subject say that the language OF
the Onas is the strangest ever listened
to. Many of the words are not difficult
to pronounce, nor is the construction
Of the sentences difficult, but very few
words are interrupted by a sound
which It is impossible to produce. The
speaker hacks, coughs and grunts, dis
torting his face in the most inhuman
manner. and then passes on to the next
stumbling block The Onas live princi-
pally upon meat. which In former years
was obtained from the guanaco. New
