ton in the group 50 overwhelmingly.
Havannah Harbor is the great prize.
An Australian firm owns much land
on the island that bounds it to the
north, and the British Admiralty has
land there also; but the only British
settler there is the veteran missionary.
Mr.. Macdonald who not many years
ago sat under his flagstaff with a gun
across his knees and deied the French
to haul down the Union Jack. Conse-
quently the Tricolor does not fly theer
alone; but 1t flies over a well-equipped
trading station in the middle of a
stretch Of coast where there Is no trade,
kept up purely to maintain a French
claim to the harbor whenever division
is made of the Islands. That division,
the French officials in Numea say,
ought to be along Bougainville and Sell
wyn Straits; but if so disproprtionate
a claim is set aside, at least they hope
for Epi and Efate, and the southeas-
ern group. Their claim on Efate they
will press to the last gasp; and Efate
is the island where their control would
be most dangerous to our hold on the
Western Pacific. If we give them the
chance to create municipalities, they
as good ais have it, and can afford to
wait some years for official recognition
of their plain. And how does 1t come
about that the French settlers are so
well placed and the British so i'll?
Partly because the French have gone
where they were told to go-made
themselves paums in great political
game. Partly, also, because French
and English have different interpreta-
tons of the regulations which both ma
tons are supposed to obey The eight
or nine British settlers at Annandale
supply Of native labor, which the
are contually at logerheads about the
British resident forbids them to recruit
from anywhere but their immediate
neighborhood. But the French settlers
though clustered together, always
manage to set labor enough; their off,
Gals are not hampered by our etricter
Interpretation of the recruiting law. If
this new conference scheme is made
final, that trouble will be perpetuated
and similar troubles about the selling
of arms to the natives. Regulations
are what the Judges make them; and
1t will be fatal to have our men ruled
strictly while the other sides men play
offside without rebuke. The only safe
and just solution is to have a single
Judiciary body with each nation re-
presented on 1t, by which offenders Of
either naion may be tried indiscrimi-
nately, Till that comes about France
will gain ground all the while.
have said nothing about the island
trade, partly because I have dealt with
it before, but mainly because it is es-
pecially an Australian matter, and one
in regard to which Australia deserves
little sympathy. Times Corres-
pondence.

MONEY USED BY sAvAonA
Stone Currency Of the Pellews-Shell
as Medium of Exchange.

Stone Currency Of the Pellews-Shell
as Medium of Exchange.
Many savage tribes know no COM
MERGE except the direct exchange Of one
useful object for another, but numer-
our other tribes have experienced the
necessity of facilitating business by the
creation Of standard currency which
enables exchanges to be made Indirect
ly and at any time. This money varies
greatly In character In different places,
writes Henry Coupin in La Science au
Xxme Steele. Sometimes 1t has only
an arbitrary value, sometimes it is also
available for use as ornaments, or
otherwise.
The money most commonly employed
by primitive people consists of useful
objects. Examples are: Slaves Tin
Africa and New Guinea, cattle (rein-
deer among the Lapps), salt Tin Laos)'
furs lin Siberia), cloth lin Africa),
shells. beads, feather and other orna-
ments, and even various articles of food
If the money is not useful IN itself 1t
must naturally be composed of rare
materials. "Thus the Pellew island
ers," says M. Deniker, Carefully pre-
serve as current money (andou) GER
tain number of obsidian or porcelain
beads and prisms of terra Gotta, i'm
ported no one knows when or how
which have very high values, One tribe
possesses a single prism of clay called
baran) which is regarded as pubhc
treasure. In the neighboring Island OF
zap the place of money is taken by
block of aragonite, a mineral which is
not found in the island but is brought
from the Pellews. The value Of block
is proportional to its size, thousand
franc note (S20O) being represented by
a huge disk which two men can hardly
carry. These stones serve rather to
fiatter the vanity of the wealthy ma
tives, who exhibit them in front of their
huts, than to facilitate barter"
But this is an exceptional case Us

coast, solely in consequence of COM
mercial relations. Such relations
must have been established at a very
early date, for Cadamosto and other
Portuguese explorers Of the fifteenth
century speak of the use Of cowries as
money among the Names" of Senegal.
In Africa the exchange value of the
cowry is much higher than in Asia, a
fact which indicates that it is import
ed.
The cowry was probably introduced
to the east coast of Africa by the
Arabs. Subsequently the importation
was carried on also by Europeans. The
cowry is still current money through
out the west coast of Africa as far as
the River Cananza in Angola. Farther
south, in the REGION extending to wal
rus Bay, we find another variety OF
Shell money" consisting Of fragments
of a large land shell, Achatina none
taria, strung in cords. This money, Is
manufactured chiefly in the Selles dis
trict in the interior of Bengueia,
whence it finds it way throughout the
strings of shells are about twenty In
ches long and were worth, fifteen years
ago, 10 to 80 cents each.
Among the articles Of food employed
as money the most important are rice
in the Philippines, bricks of tea IN
Mongolia and jumps of suit In Central
Africa, where this Indispensable sub
stance Is very rare.
Iron, broze and other metals are very
widely used as money. They occur in
many forms, from simple rods and
crosses to the circular coins common
among civilized people. Sometimes the
ofrm is such that any desired value
may be obtained readily by cutting In
central Africa, for example, debts are
paid in brass or copper wire, and bars
Of silver are current money in China.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1906-06-05

ually preference is shown for more
convenient objects which combine a
maximum of value with a minimum of
weight. For example, the Chorchon
and Bannock Indians of Idaho and
Montana use teeth of the wapiti deer
as money. For the same reasons Scan
dinavian tribes, like teh ancient Cart
haginians, employ as money the skins
and the Michmis make use of the
skulls of animals, while the money of
the Loyalty Islands consist of ropes
made of fox hair, which may be cut to
any desired length. The Mexicans for
meEy made extensive use aof cacao
beans and this sort of money is not yet
entirely obsolete, despite modern facili-
ties of communication.
Shells are often used as money. Ac-
cording to M. Deniker, the tooth shell,
or elephants tusk," is thus employed
by the Indians Of northwestern Ameri-
ca. The wampum beads of the tribes of
the eastern United States are made of
the shells of Venus mercenaria, a spe-
cies akin to the cookies
But of all shells the cowry is most US
ed as money. The species most frequ-
emily employed are Cyprea moneta and
Cyprea annulus, of which the former
appears to be commonest in Asia, the
latter in Africa.
Both species occur throughout the
Indian Ocean, but they are gathered in
large quantities in only two districts,
the Maldive Islands, west of Ceylon,
and the Sulu archipelago, between
Borneo and the Philippines! On the
Asiatlc continent they are used as
money most extensively in Siam and
LAGOS, where twenty years ago from
twenty to thirty cowries were equiva-
lent to one centime Goo to $50 to a
cent?
Tropical Africa, however, is the true
realm of the cowry, a fact which is
explained by its rarity. The shell is
not found in the Atlantic and it has
traversed the continent from Zanzibar.

WERE HAPPILY SURPRISED.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles HeavIrIand the
Fortunate Victims Of a Jolly Sur
prise Party

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Heavirland
expect to leave about February 1st,
for their new home in Clark county,
South Dakota. They have lived in
Crawford for many years, long enough
at least to earn the affectionate re-
spect of all who know them. 1t was
this that lead their neighbors to the
number of sixty to plan and execute
the jolliest kind of surprise on them
last Friday. The plan was engineered
by Mrs. Chas. Smith and Mrs. John
Blackman and that it was cleverly
done was shown by the look of blank
amazement on the faces of Mr.. and
Mrs. Heavirland when the neighbors
came swarming in. They came early
and brought their dinners after which
bounteous repast the ladies did fancy
work and visited while the men folks
played games and visited. Before
leaving Mr.. C. P. Harvey on behalf
of the company made a little gem of
a speech, presenting Mr.. and Mrs.
Heavirland with set of handsome
|, silver table spoons, and Mrs. Cynthia
Gould, Mrs. Heavirland's s mother, with
a we'll bound bible. Mr.. Heavirland
was too overcome to tell his thanks
but his wife responded as did also
Mrs. Gould.
Such social events as these show
that the hearts of friends and neigh
bors are in the right place, and we
will warrant that many time out
in South Dakota, that party and the
kindly impulse which prompted it will
be remembered with tears of graft
tude.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heavirland have been
among our best citizens and the Re-
view adds its word of regret at their
departure and its hope that they may
be prosperous and happy in their new
home.
