SEEK NEW LIGHT ON PIGMIES
Curious People Found to Be Indus
f, trlous and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ton to Visit Them.

London.-Fresh and interesting III
formation regarding the habits and
conditions OF life of a curious pigmy
race will be sought by the new expedi-
ton to Dutch New Guinea, which is
now being planned in London. This
strange race of people were first seen
by white men when the recent expedi-
ton under Capt. C. G. Rawling pene-
trated into the heart OF the island.
Rawlings expedition comprised six
Englishmen and was sent out by the
British Ornithologists' union. Their OBJ
jective was a long range OF snowy
mountains, called the Nassau range,
but between them and 1t lay 80 miles
Of absolutely u%nexplored country and
of the most difficult kind to negotiate.
Dense forest covered most Of it, inter-
sected with rivers which for n half
If the year were torrents and the other
half nearly dried up river beds.
The pigmies were first discovered
near the Kapare river, n Of the i'm
mems streams which, rising in the
Nassau mountains, make their way
down to the sea. The japanese SOL
diers who accompanied Rawling as
bearers spied a couple Of the little
pigmies one day in the hills. The pig
mics bolted at once, and an exciting
chase took place, which ended in
their being captured, and two days Ia
ter more were surprised and surround
ed. They proved to be sturdy men,
averaging about four feet, eight inches
high, and much better developed than
the tribes encountered in the plains.
They were also Industrious, and de.
cidedly more intelligent. They had
neatly constructed huts, and after
some time it was discovered that they
had words in their language to denote
Numerals up to ten, words entirely
lacking from the language OF the
plainsmen. Although the most siren
uous search was made, only solitary
huts could be found. Strangely
enough, no children and only one
woman, who was being escorted to her
new home from her wedding, were
seen.

ley's drama, o OF s%ightseers in view
Ing the room in which the unfortunate
Beatrice Is said to have been tortured.
That room Is in the Castle OF st. An
gelo, otherwise known as the tomb OF
Hadrian, in Rome. This famous
mausoleum, n OF the oldest land
marks Of the Eternal City, has been
greatly changed since its erection
more than seventeen centuries ago.
The original structure is almost hid
den by Notifications that have been
built around it; the cone OF earth
which once crowned the top, planted
with evergreens, has given place to a
gilt angel sheathing a sword; and the
interior has been stripped not only OF
works Of art that adorned 1t, but OF
much of the very material used in its
construction, that material having
heen utilized for other buildings.
In 1900 the tomb was connected
with the Vatican by a subterranean
passage. A photogravure OF the castle
Of St. Angelo, as 1t is now called,
showing also the Ttber, the bridge
that gives approach to the tomb, and
the dome of st. Peters In the back
ground, illustrates this article. st.
Peters the largest Christian place OF
worship in the world, and the Mecca
of pious pilgrims from all over the
globe, has also undergone various
transformations since the early days
when it succeeded an old basilica To-
Gated on the same spot. 1t was built
at first on the pin Of a Greek cross,
which was changed later to a Latin
cross and shifted between these two
forms twice more before being left in
Its present form. 1t is not seen to full
advantage at close range, on account
OF its great dimensions; but the pic
ture accompanying this article gives
an excellent effect OF the stately and
impressive dome.
