Putumayo INDIANS.

The Indians Of the Putumayo dis
trict Of Peru, whose brutal abuse by
the rubber companies has aroused
the world, are described in q recent
issue OF Folklore by Capt. T. w.
Whiffen, who apparently lived among
them before they were subjected to
the white mans kindly attention. Ac-
cording to Captain Whiffen they are
pretty hard. lot themselves. For
example, they kill the second twin
at birth, and the mother always
browns sickly or deformed child.
They kill their prisoners and eat
them. In fact they were still in the
stone age when Captain Whiffen
studied them, and, contrary to the
opinion Of Doctor Martin, had never
been any higher in the evolutionary
scale. Their only social function was
sort Of dance, to which the partici-
pants and audience were summoned
by the beating Of drums so loud that
1T could be heard for a distance Of
eight or ten miles. One Of the curl
Gus customs described by the captain
was their method of using tobacco.

FORCE OF GRAVITY.

Il Makes You Fall Faster In BosrJR
Than In Mexico City.
p Did ySu know that you drop" faster
In Massachusetts than In Mexico7
For instance. If you were to fall from
a twenty story building In Boston you
would descend lot faster than IL you
fell from the same hoight In the City
Of Mexico.
The principle of this is quite simple.
even if it does seem a bit startling. II
Is merely that as one goes toward the
equator the force of gravity gets less
and less and the quickness Of descent
Of n falling body slower; and, while
doubtless you would feel just as un-
comfortable falling that distance In
one place as in another and the results
would be Just as disastrous. there are
times and things in which the differ
ence is not only perceptible. but worth
a notice.
In Boston If you were to fire hori
Eontally with rifle and your gun were
sixteen feet from the ground the bul
let fred would reach the ground one
second after it had left the rifle But
If you were to take that same rifle to
the City of Mexico and FIRE It Off the
same distance from the earth 1t would
take one and one-half seconds to reach
the ground.
So II is easy to see how when hunt
ing in different parts of the world II
is necessary to calculate time from
this same shifting standard Of reckon
