BATTlED OVER DOLL
cHILD,s PLAYTHING THE CAUSE
 OF FIERCE WARFARE.
African Savages Looked Upon lt as a Fetish, and Fought for Its Pos session-contest Lasted for
 Many Months.


 A young German savant, who was sent on a scientific expedition to New Guinea. has just brought back a pic ture of fatal doll and the extraordi- nary story connected with it.
 It was originally bought by Dutch trader, Captain van Bergnik of Am sterdam. for his little twelve-year-old daughter
 T put into the port of Nagasak in September. 1909" said the captain. "and bought the doll in a bazaar. Soon afterwards we were obliged to anchor fin Geeiwinck bay, New Guinea, for re- pairs.
 For about fortnight we had daily intercourse with a tribe of Papuans on the coast, and became very friend ly with a man named Tarvar.
 This aroused the anger of the chief, Katiak-Kho, who looked on our friendship with jealous eye. Tarvar was very fond of exploring the ship. and was struck with admiration for the doll the first time he came into my cabin.
 "As the young fellow had been very useful to me l made him present of it, intending to buy another on my return to Nagasaki. Tarvar left the ship with manifestations of exuberant joy.
 "On the following day heard some very sad news. The chief of the tribe accused the young warrior of theft, and split his head open with an ax. He then fled into the interior with | the rest of his tribe. Fearful of los ing the precious fetish. Katiak-Kho | hid 1t in the folds of his cloak. But the warriors noticed that their chief secretly left them at night to go light In the forest.
 One night they followed him and caught a glimpse of the chiefs mar vicious doll
 | He was not popular and a plot to kill him was soon on foot. Katiak-Kho was strangled at the foot of the tree where he was accustomed to com mune with the idol.
 | "The groans of the dying man at. 1 tracted the attention of his brother and some of his friends, and terrible battle ensued. Five men were killed and the victors ran farther into the recesses of the forest.
 After days of wandering they found a suitable site at the foot of moun. tain and built a new village. They thought themselves in safety, but the | reputation of the idol came to the ears of the Alfakis, warlike tribe, who de 1 termined to secure 1t at all costs. l "The war between the Papuans and the Alfakis lasted for many months and the little Japanese doll passed al | ternately from one camp to another. Three hundred lives were lost ir ! these battles, and the doll is now fn I the possession of the victorious Alta
 kis, who have built temple for il and declared 1t taboo"

By eENEvlEVE ulMAR.

Mrs. Laura Peaslee sat in a comfort sbIe rocking chair in the broad, airy hallway of her home. listening idly to the gay chatter and laughter of a group of merry girls. There were four of them-Nellie Day, her niece; two cousins, Agnes and Frances Wood. and Blanche Virden, the latter a visi- tor of the Wood girls. whose home ad- joined that of Mrs. Peaslee.
 Except for the loss of her husband. life had been very pleasant to the wealthy widow. She had an ample fortune and many valued friends, and in adopting her favorite niece she had added a new joy to existence. Her heart warmed as she listened to the pretty prattle of Nellie and her com panions. A token of interest was added as she thought of another fa- Yorite-Deslyn Moore. He, too, was an orphan, and his mother had been the closest schoolgirl friend of Mrs. Peaslee. The latter had felt bound te interest herself in the lonely boy and she had given him good college eQUCdllOu. NUN bnS was ftIg pIOuu of the progress he was making asa chemist in a nearby city.

iRebutidIno Underground Canal.

About $2,000,000 Is to be expended fin rebuilding the underground section of the ecanal leading from the Marne to the Rhine. The Mauvaxes tunnel. as 1t is called, is three miles long; 1t was built sixty years ago and carries the canal under elevated ground at this point The old masonry lining proving insufficient, 8 new and heav- der lining of beton is being put in throughout the whole length. Naviga- tion may not be stopped and the work is carried out on the Fougerolle system, which allows of working for short periods at time. The process consists of dividing the tunnel into 600-foot sections, each section being pumped dry in one hours time to allow work to be carried on for one day, when the canal is again flooded to give passage to the boats. The pumping is done from two boatlike caissons, one at each end of the sec ton. The tunnel Is approximately elhptical with two-foot eight-inch beton lining, the inside width of the section being about twenty-eight feet.

Color and Climate.

Sweat-glands and a sufficient num- Der thereof proportioned to the eli mate to regulate the temperature of the body apparently account for the advantage the colored races have as dweIlers in the warmer climates over those of the Caucasian race. The Journal of the American Medical as- sociatSon, commenting on investiga- tions made by Ebert Clark, Of the University of the Philippines, at Ma nila, gives as his findings: That the Malay possesses 12 to 15 per cent more sweat-glands than the white; negroes an excess of per cent, and negritos an excess of 27 per cent. for adults and 67 per cent for youths. The Journal is Of opinion that the dark-skinned dwellers of the tropics disclose an advantage over white skins, which the latter can offset only by seeking greater shade.

DULUTH'S MANY ODD POINTS

The queerest city in America Is be- lieved by many persons to be Duluth, guardian of the great port at the head of Lake Superior. Some one has de- scribed 1t as 20 miles long, a mile wide and half a mile high, which fits the place very nicely. All about one side the hills come down almost to the shores of Lake Superior. that great unsalted sea. Right on the edge of each stretches the Zenith City. made famous by Proctor Knott's speech.
 Duluth is the<greatest outdoor town in the world One can catchttrout and shoot bear, moose and deer within It's limits.
