Yes, Vivian, the idea of a subway
is to get human beings underground

Human beings have such a habit

BOATS GROW ON TREES.
West Indian Boys Can Get All of Them
They Want.

When West Indian boy wants II
toy boat all he has to do is to visit a
cocoanut tree. These trees bear great
punches of nuts among their dropping
green leaves. and when the bunch
first sprouts out in the form of n big
bud it is Enclosed within a hard
tough. woody case or spathe two or
three feet long. eight or ten inches
III diameter and tapering TO a point al
one end and to Il slender stern at the
other In fact it looks very much
like a huge wooden cigar.
As the buds and flowers develop the
spathe splits open. and the flower
bunch continues to grow ont beyond it
until the nuts begins TO ripeu. BY this
time the spathes have become dry and
hard and break Off and drop to the
ground of their own accord.
1t is the spathcs or bud coverings
that the West Indian boys use for toy
boats. and. while the dry and fallen
ones will answer, better boats are
made from the more flexible and Part
ly green spathes still clinging to the
flower stem.
The spathe as gathered from the tree
is almost in the shape of Il boat. and
all that is necessary to transform it to
Il very seaworthy and fast sailing toy
canoe is to sew the open end together
and tit rudder, sail and seats or
thwarts.
When this is done the boat is almost

FOUR SOULS EACH.
Curious Beliefs of the savsses Of West
Africa.


West African religion is particularly
generous to the human beings. to each
of whom it allots several souls, four
being the usual number. Only Que is
immortal. however The others. though
troublesome enough during the own
er's life, cease TO be at the same time
as the body They are the shadow
soul. the dream soul and the bush soul.
One soul seems more than many OF
us can manage. but the poor African
has bad time between the four OF
them. lie never knows when some
enemy may plunge a knife into his
shadow. thus causing him to sicken
and die. or when his bush soul. which
takes the form of an animal. may rush
into danger and get hurt. and. as for
his dream soul. that is particularly
troublesome. as IL wanders from his
body during sleep and runs the risk of
being caught by witch traps. When
this happens its place is often taken
by a nasty stranger spirit called a
"sisa." which seems to have no other
object but TO cause misfortune and
sickness to the being who forms its
temporary habitatlon.
Most Of the tribes have the idea OF
an underworld after death. neither
heaven nor hell, but much like the ex-
listing world. only DINNER Among the
Tschwi tribes this idea is we'll defined.
Their shadow world has a name
northumberland they even know the
way 20 the entrance. which is across
the Volta river This place has its
markets. its town and its interests. but
everything is felt in a more indistinct
way.
