PAPER FROM coRNsTALKs.
German inventor Said to Have Solved
the Pulp Problem.

Berlin.-The problem of providing
for the enormous consumption of pa
per caused by the immense number
of newspapers and books published in
our time, which cannot possibly be
supplied much longer with the ma
terial manufactured from wood pulp,
has practically been solved, it is de
cIared by a German engineer named
Drewsen, who has invented a process
through which all kinds of paper can
be made out of cornstalks.
The new process provides for the
removal of the outside covering and
the making of the marrow into pulp,
with which paper of the finest quality
can be manufactured at a cost much
lower than the wood pulp process at
resent in use.
Owing 10 the large quantity Of corn
raised in every country of the world,
il is predicted that the new process
will provide the world with all the
paper it needs if the supply of wood
should become exhausted.

German Discovers Race Which Has
Tusks and Fins.

Dir. Lark reports that the language
of the Lickiicki resembles hoarse
barking and that they greet the rising
of the moon by long drawn out howl
which is not inharmonious.
Their dwellings are caves, situated,
for the most part, close by the sea, and
are decorated with small pieces of coral,
shining shells, sea lilies and such things.
For bed they use the white sea-sand
or dry sea-weed. They have no knowl-
edge of fire and when they were shown
boiling water, scenes took place like
those between Robinson Crusoe and his
man Friday. No wearing apparel was
to be seen. Children and women, who
ought to be considerably smaller, were
not seen during their two days stay.
We all await eagerly the promised
detailed report of DR.. Lark. Professor
Klaatsch of Heidelburg, is at this
time investigating traces of primeval
man in Australia. He, as is well
known, is the champion of the theory
that man, contrary to the teaching of

came to IA standstIll near the reef and
a boat was lowered which headed for
shore. After while the boat returned

ond time and proceed shoreward.
Meanwhile the Santa Rita drifted
about, apparently aimlessly.
The small boat finally went back to
the steamer and was placed on the
dayits and the vessel headed for La
mai and was soon out of sight. She
had been In Walalae Bay for over an
hour,
