FINDS QUEER TRIBE
Dutch Explorer Tells Of Wild Folk
in New Guinea.
Mysterious Mountain People Who,
With Their Pigs, Live In Little
huts Raised Ten Feet From
Ground.

London.-Mr. H. A. Lorentz, Dutch
explorer. the first white man to pene-
trate into the mysterious central snow
range Of New Guinea, has returned to
Europe with a thrilling story Of ad-
ventures.
The explorer discovered a mystert
GUS mountain tribe who. with their
pigs. lived in little huts raised ten
feet from the ground. into which both
the people and the animals climbed By
way Of notched boards.
Doctor Lorentz says:
Suddenly we came across se-
cluded valley which. to our amaze
ment, we found to be thickIy popu-
lated. We were walking in single file
through the twilight shade OF the
great forest when we heard mystert
Gus calls. Suddenly a small band Of
savages, all armed with bows and ar
rows and stone axes. ran out from the
jungle. They approached US with
hands outstretched. offering US sweet
potatoes as a sign of friendship.
"On our arrival in their village the
people performed curious ceremony,
They sacrificed a pig and smeared
each of US on the forehead with the
creatures blood. This proved a some
what awkward attention in the case
of our Mohammedan soldiers, but at
my earnest request they agreed to sub
NIT, provided that we allowed them
Immediately afterwards to undergo
ceremonial washing.
These people lived in little huts.
all of which were raised about ten
feet from the ground, access being
obtained by a notched pole. These
little huts we found to be divided into
two, one-half being used for domestic
animals-mostly pigs, which pre-
sumably, also climbed the rough lad
der-and the other half by the people
themselves. These natives are not
dwarfs. We noticed that some Of the
women had the middle finger Of the
left hand cut on.
I'VE had no means of discovering
the meaning of this, although 1t was
clear that the mutilation was made
during youth. Many of the men, too.
had the upper portion of one Of their
ears removed. Unlike all Papuan
tribes l have met they were entirely
free from skin disease. None Of whom
wore q stitch of clothing. While the
tribes on the coast never smoke. these
| mountain people grow tobacco. which
they smoke in their pipes.

Is Q romance that deals with the re-

woman OF this city and a popular
young army man.
The young woman gave up homo,
friends and all the life to which she
had been accustomed. to accompany
the young oficer to the Philippines

When the young woman, then his
wife. had come back to New York to

come back with her.
A year ago last June. Lieutenant
Dallam married Miss Mclean, the
daughter Of Mrs. Donald Mclean, per-
haps the most prominent club woman
in this city. The wedding was a bril-
liant event in social and army circles-
Lieutenant Dallam was sent to the
Philippines and his bride went to the
front with him to share his life.
The announcemAt Of the lieuten-
ants resignation from the cavalry re-
vealed that Mrs. Dallam had been Ia
ken dangerously Ill while at his side
in the tropics. and that the doctors
had said she could not recover unless
she returned to a temperate climate
for good and all.
"And." said Mrs. Donald Mclean,

He could not let her go without him.

He was a very polite. low-yoiced
chap. about thirty, smooth shaven,
dark. with a slow. boyish smile and a
steady eye. The show people liked
him at sight, and within a week re-
spected him. He did not yell at them
nor use large language. AS Murray

tion. Examples may be Of the following
crops: wheat, oats, barley, alfalfa, forafe,
