KONGo PYGMIEs COMPARED WITH AAiERT-
CAN INDIAN.

among the pygmies of the Kongo. 1t
would hardly be fair, however, to call
1t cannIbalism of the same variety as
practiced by more savage tribes, says
the professor. The pygmies do not kill
other human beings in order to eat
them, but sometimes eat the flesh of
children or old people when they die
Cannibalsm in times of famine is not
peculiar to the tribes Of Africa, but
Is found among many peoples. The
American Indians, who were not can
nibals, as a rnle, often in days gone
by ate the hearts Of captves taken in
battle, the practice being more in the
nature Of an act Of symbolism than of
feast, and having to do with their
religious Ideas.
Professor Starr deems the natives of
the Kongo to be bright and Intelligent
He visited more than twenty-six tribes
Of them and, on the whole, had fair
ly good time among both the big and
the little people of the country. The
latter are not so dark as the larger
natives, and he thinks they are unre-
lated to the ordinary negroes and be-
long 10 u race WHICH LOT luuny cell
turtles, If not from its creation, has
been distinct from the surrounding peo-
pies. On the Kafai and Batua rivers,
where he spent the most time, they
grow the smallest, from three feet ten
inches to four feet two inches. The
professor explored many Of the tribu-
taries Of the Kongo river and was the
second white man to ascend one of
them, the Oiku river For some months
after his departure into the African
wilderness nothing was heard from
him, and 1t was feared he might have
fallen prey to the cruelty of the peo-
pie he went to investigate but in due
time he turned up safe and sound, with
the young Mexican, Manuel Gonzales,
whom he adopted as a boy and who
acts as his photographer. The ad-
venturous Chicago ethnologist is a
bachelor and could therefore follow the
Ieadings of his scientific study without
causing anxiety to wife and family
during his prolonged absence in the
depths Of the Kongo Jungles.

STARR AND PYCMIES,
Chicago Scientist Found Them
Playing at Cats Cradle.
POPULAR SOCIAL DIVERSION.

Interesting Discoveries Made by the
Entsrprisins AnthropoIosist During
His Recent Trip to the Very Heart
Of Darkest Africa.
The eminent scientist Professor Fred
erick Starr of Chicago university says
that one Of the most important results
Of his visit to the Kongo region of Az
rlca was his discovery that the natives
Of that part of the world play the
child's game of cats cradle. The
learned professor was in earnest too.
His journey of $4,000. miles was no
Joke and he took his life In his hands
when he went into the heart of the
African jungle. He undertook the trip
to study the pygmies of the Kongo re-
gion. and he spent fifteen months in
his quest for information about these
and other tribes Of the dark continent,
yet the distinguished anthropologist de
clares, without smile, that he found
nothing which interested him more
than the fact that cats cradle is the
popular social diversion in the colored
society Of the Kongo. Just why the
professor attaches SO much Importance
to this circumstance he does not ex-
plain. We must wait, he says. till he
makes his report on the subject. 1t IS
known, however, that anthropologists
have built theories Of possible relation
ships between peoples or the mngling
of races by tracing the history of IA
mlliar games through the centuries or
the variations in n central Idea of n
game In widely separated nations. The
professor is not the first ethnologist
who has noted the popularity of cats
cradle among primitive peoples. 1t is
even said that pious missionaries while
waiting to be chopped up and boiled
for dinner by dusky savages whom
they failed to convert have observed
these simple minded people killing the
time before the feast by playing with
loops Of string and making the cats
cradles just as the very little folks do
In America.
Apropos Of cannballsm it may be
remarked that Professor Starr found
1t to be practiced to a limited extent

GRAND JUNCTION is to have a
$75, 900 canning factory thoroughly
equipped for fruits and all sorts of
vegetables. Canning factories have
not been a great success in Western
Colorado but this has been largely be-
cause there has not been enough of the
lower glade fruits to keep them 60
ing and because the farmers have re-
fused 10 grow vegetables in sufficient
quantities to encourage the building
of factory. With the increased
acreage in bearing fruit it is thought
there will be enough fruit of inferior
grade, so far as size and appearance is
concerned to make canning factory

Good Money For Conviots.

1t is not generally known. but it Is
nevertheless fact. that convicts in the
Ohio penltentiary earn as high as $50
or $50 month for themselves working
overtime. They have certain task to
perform in eight hours, and all work
they get out above their tasks Is cred
tied to them. In the bolt shop alone
more than 200 men divide every month
5000 for work accomplished in over
time. The convicts are not allowed
to work more than eight hours a day.
One man In the bolt shop earns nearly
$50 every month running what Is called
a perfect mill. A large number CT con-
victs clear for themselves more than
$50 month.-Columbus Dispatch.

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, Feb. A.
The local market was slightly lower
last week on everything offered but
there was practically nothing choice
included in the receipts and not
enough good cattle here to really test
values. Anything fit for the packers
met with ready sale and towards the
latter part of the week not enough
good beef cattle arrived to meet the
demand. The same was true today
and prices ware firm. Good steers
sold at 81 20 to "a IS with bulk of de-
sirable kinds at S4. 40 to 81. IS and
fancy steers quotable up to S5. co.
Very good Idaho cows sold at S3 80
with pulp fed 1tuff largely at f3.25 to
S3 S5 and fairly good eastern Colorado
corn fed at 50. 70. Packers now have
their show stuff pretty we'll worked
off and are in need of good beef cat
tie. Bulls ruled firm with fancy fat
ones up to So. so and bulk at S2.25 to
$3. 90. Veals were steady to firm
with fancy light weights quotable up
to *6. 90. Inquiry was strong for
good selected feeders and all offerings
Of this kind sold with snap. Plain
and medium light weight steers, how
ever. did not meet with very ready
sale, and most of the offerings last
week were of this class. The demand
for the poorer grades is light now at
all markets as nobody seems to want
them and prices II to 10 cents lower.

A Whale Headed Stork.

Among the many curious and un-
usual animals which have been found
by Sir Harry Johnston, the African
explorer. in the Uganda protectorate,
Is the whale headed stork. The bird
resembles the common stork in every
thing but the head, which is anything
but beautiful. The beak is enormous
and gives the stork peculiar, whale
like appearance. 1t Is rather puzzle
to scientists to discover the reason for
this enormous appendage. The whales
mouth is built to catch multitude of
small fish. and possibly the stork's
beak may have been evolved by the
same agency.

JAPANESE AKMHMENTS.
England Is a Little Anxious About Her
Enterprisins Ally.

Enterprisins Ally.
Great Britain's enterprising ally, ia
pan, intends not only practically to
double her army, but to spend f7,OOO,-
900 on the increase Of her navy as well.
The ships will presumably be built in
Japan, where possibly facilities for the
production of armor plate will be In
stalled II this be so, with the cheap
labor available, the sum named ought
to give the Japanese at least five II not
six ships of the type of the Dread
nought or something approaching
thereto She may. however elect to
build two or more cruisers, 1t not being
by any means certain that the Japa-
nese have followed our example in
merging the two classes into the 'capi-
tai ship" Perhaps four battleshlps and
two armored cruisers may be the out
come of the proposals.
If this be so, how will Japan stand
when her new programme is complet-
ed? The Mikasa has been raised. SO
she will have four ships Of her old bat
tie feet, to which may be added the
Orel, Peresviet, Retzivan, Poltava and
Pobieda, taken from the Russians; the
Kushma and Katori, the Aki and Sat
suma and the presume0 four new
battleshlps in all seventeen ships. the
worst of which Is little better than
our Royal Sovereign class. Backed by
some sixteen good armored cruisers,
the total is formidable one, which
any except the "mightiest power" may
well think twice before tackllng. 1t

three Formidables, three Canopuses.

1t is expected that this formidable ar
ray Of vessels will be employed?
do not care to attempt to give an
answer to the question. 1t is sufficient
to know that in the belief of the jap
anese the new vessels will see service.
But no man knows where the condi-
tlons of the latest power are leading
her nor what obstacles in her path she
foresees. Any one can for himself
Imagine half dozen possibilities,
probable or improbable 1t suffices to
say that ten years is no long time in
the construction Of a fleet, and that at
the expiration Of that period 1t may be
necessary again to keep a squadron
Of battleships in the seas Of the far
east. The possibility should be taken
into account in considering the building
programme of the next four years.
Alliances are not eternal, and we need
not be the less friends with japan II
we recognize that in her future rela-
tions she will consult her own imperial
interests, with little regard for ours.
The existing alliance gives her a
breathing space, and in admiration Of
her deeds we are glad she should have
it. But this does not absolve us from

ton nine years hence be totally

THE FEATURE of the Thaw mur-
der trial in which all interest really
centers was the confession made by
the wife of the defendant for the pur-
pose of saving her husband from the
electric chair. Probably in the his
tory of criminology there have been
few, if any. greater sacrifices for
another. certainly there could be no
greater example of the constancy and
devotion of woman than she exhibited
when faced by a great curious crowd
she lay bale sinful and broken life,
exposed her own folly and the worse
than folly of brainless. vain. hearted
and unnatural mother. in order that
she might furnish some justification
for the terrible act of the man she
loves. Whatever future questioning
may disclose it is evident that the
sympathy of the audience was with
Thaw at the close of the first day of
his wifes testimony.
