practical wireless telephone. The ma
tives have for purposes of ceremony,

about an octave In range Aside from
the ceremonies the drums are used
also as means of communication, and

strokes, the pauses, etc., make up
words and sentences which are read
ny understood for miles around. We
had proof of it one day. Our cara
van was ready to start when our head

learned later that the indistinct
sounds conveyed to him the news that
