ASNA
One Of the customs of the Indians
that has attracted the attention Of
civilized people Is the reduction of
human heads. made by some savage
tribes Of North PERT and other regions
of South America. Ry means of very
TRANCE proceedings they reduced the
human head from its natural size to
that CT four inches or slightly more.
When these strange objects We're first
taken to England they attracted the
attention and curiosity of the stien-
fists: this was about the year 1852.
when a head was exhibited in the ex-
position Of London under the sugges-
tive and queer name Of The Head
Of the Inca"
Although this custom is still prac-
tieeo by the Macas. Jivaros and other
tribes of the same region. vet. we
know that it has been practiced in
Peru for many centuries back. In the
most ancient characterization pottery
OF Nazca-painted human heads can
be seen. with a seam on their lips. en-
.aetly similar to that which the Jivaros
make on the heads they reduce. It is
supposed thai the custom of using hui
man heads as trophies lasted until the
pre-1ncaic period among the natives
OF Na2ea. on ccoun of some divided
heads having been found-not COM
p!ete cnes-!n the graves Of this an
c:sn. race. These heads had the face
and frontal region. and a hole had
beer bored on the upper part. SO tina,
8 hair string might pass through it,
for the purpose Of hanging up. From,
the researches that the national mu-
scum Is carrying on in these regions.
several heads have been brought and
! although ro reduced heads have beer
found IN the graves Of Nazca, it is
toid that an English traveller in the
year 1888 presented Prince Albert
Queen Nictoria's hushand-with a
human head reduced TO The size Of
ere inch, which he said was found in
ct cid grave hear Fisco.
The SaVages make this reduction OF
human heads in order TO show their
proves over their since they
are trophies. and thus the best proc!

GREWS0@E ART 0M PERU
REDUCTION AND PRESERVATION OF HUMAN HEADS AND
BODIES \ SCIENCE THERE.

The proceedings that the savage use
for reducing the heads are these: aft
er separating the head from the body
they boil it in an infusion of forest
plants known to themselves. so as to
soften the bones. which they after
ward remove. When the bones are all
out. the head is kept in a hanging po-
sition and hot pebbles put inside,
which when cold are replaced by other
hot ones. until the skin is slowly dried
and reduced to the required size.
This custom is not only peculiar to.
the savage tribes Of north Peru. but
Is also that OF several regions Of the
northern part of South America. The
Indians of the River Cusicuari, in the
orinoco and Negro regions. reduce the
whole body and thus a regular sized
man becomes a simple puppet fteen
or eighteen inches long. In the Brit
lsh museum there Is a reduced head
from Venezuela presented by Mr.. Fa-
gan. British minister In Carcas.
These human trophies are not after
all very uncommon. and some speci-
mems can be found In foreign muse
ums. In the year 1873 an English
man. Mr.. Buckley. who lived eighteen
months among the Jivaros. took with
him four specimens to London. Colo
mel Pedro Portillo brought back from
1auitos. where he was Project. three
reduced heads. OF four specimens
brought from Ecuador by Senior
Neintimilla. me is from the Jivaros. a
beautiful specimen. If such an D
sion a be applied to an object that
causes a feeling Of pity and horror:
but his one is not a war trophy,
neither was it an inhahitant Of the
forests who died in a close struggle
for the possession Of a woman or pre-
dominance in his tribe: 1t Is the head
of n Of those adventures who meet
an unknown death in the depths Of
the woods when greedily seeking the
black gold-rubber: 1t is the head Of a
white man. as Is shown by the hne
light hair that is trimmed and not
shows by its aquiline face and the re-
duced savage heads have. Further It
shows by its acquilline face and the
remains Of a rather light moustaehe
and whiskers that still stick to the
face. and by the whole ~physiognomy
TO be that OF a mar Of a superior race.
notwithstanding It's actual hideous-
mess.

General Superintendent II. V.
Platt, of the Southern Pacific, must
have been exceedingly well impress

cording to the following interview
in the Los Angeles Daily Times:
That New Mexico as a whole, and
particularly the country of the
Mimbres Valley around Deming is
destined to see tremendous growth
in the next few years, 10 the report Of
H. V. Platt. general superintendent
Of the Southern district of the
Southern Pacific, who has spent the
past week looking into the resources
Of that section.
In company with II. B. Titcomb,
district engineer. and various divi-
sion officers, Platt has combed the
territory from FL Paso to Los An
geles during the past three months,
looking into the question Of i'm

From the report which Mr.. Platt
makes it appears that New Mexico
is Just waking up to the opportuni-
ties which it has for investment.
"Deming, a town of 5000, has
the unique record of having saddled
itself with SIS per capita indebted
ness for improvements, with a total
of only thirteen votes registered
against the three bond issues.
Forty thousand dollars was vot-
ed unanimously for new high
school; $4,000 for a new court
house showed but eight votes
against the project, while $40, 900
was voted for a sanitary sewer sys-
TEN. with only five votes against
the bonds.
Until recently we did not think
much of the Mimbres Valley, for it
appeared to be a barren waste, but
the new wells have changed the
whole character of the district.
With an elevation of 1900 feet. the
Mimbres Valley offers wonderful
opportunities for the development
of alfalfa, fruit, and grain growing
investments.
The entire New Mexican coun-
try is looking up, and the people
are much gratifed from the fact
that the first Legislature of the new
state, which is overwhelmingly Re-
publican, did not see ht to pass any
radical legislation. From this fact
they are sanguine of continuous
prosperity and believe that the in
vestment OF capital in New Mexico
will be possible on safe basis.

It seems to me that the scheme is
a good one and can be worked to
the advantage of the farmers di-
rectly and incidentally to the advan-
tage of the whole county. For my
part, | am going to try to get two
or three counties in New Mexico to
take up the plan and try it out.
Your county is good one to begin
it. You originate things. You do
things.
When you are ready to make a
move just let me know and am
ready to help all can.
Yours truly.
