The Last of the Andama ans.

The Andaman Islands in the east
ern part of the Bay of Bengal, where
Great Britain has maintained penal
settlement since 1858. originally had a
considerable native population. These
island sayages are of great interest
to science for various ethnologic rea-
sons, and the news that they are rap
idly dwindiing away-contained in the
census of 19ll-should lead to some
attempt at conservation. In the case
of two groups that have come partial
ly under the influence of civilization
an original $500 individuals have de-
creased to ass. In fact the only tribe
that seems to be holding its own is
that of the savage Jarawas, who have
not as yet been tainted with civiliza-
ton, The gradual extinction of the
Andamanese is attributed to three
causes: Increased infant mortality
among the children of parents who
have come under the influence of civ
ilization, and that due to measles; de-
creased birth-rate following the in
PRODUCTION of venereal disease; and ia
tai exposure among the sick who come
in to the hospitals to be treated, and
temporarily live a life of clothes-wear-
ing. Upon their return to the jungle
these are discarded and the resulting
exposure is fatal to a weakened body.

returned to her first anchorage, where
the explorers passed the winter.
In the account of this remarka BE
voyage. made five centuries before
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella
bade godspeed to the Italian navigator
in the Spanish harbor of Paios, it is
recorded by Biorn and Lief that the
length of the shortest day during WIN
ter Of the year 1092-3 was eight hours
This proves that this Ninland of theirs
was no farther north than Newfound-
land otherwise the length of the day
would have been shorter.
During the months that the vessel
lay at anchor many valuable furs AID
skins were obtained by the hunters,
and in the spring the ship was
freighted with valuable lumber heWn
in the forests that grew close TO the
shore. With the proceeds of this
venture the two boy discoveries fitted
out their vessel a second time, but an
unfortunate quarrel breaking out be-
tween them, Lief sailed alone to estab-
lish a colony after the example of his
father. For this purpose he en-
parked some 20 men and women glad
to exchange the bleak shores of Ice
land for the rich meadows and purlins
streams of this promised land.
Norwegian history asserts that Lief
sailed as far south as the place nov
known as Newport, in Rhode Island,
and points for confirmation of the
claim to the remains of Morse fortifi-
cations and implements that have been
found in various places on the Ney

The Island of Hawaii.

The island OF Hawaii, the largest of
the Hawaiian group, has an area of
lois square miles, more than twice
the combined area of Maui, Oahu and
Kauai 1t is somewhat smaller than
Connecticut and considerably larger
than Porto Rico.
Hawaii island has been formed by
The coalescence of four large volca
noes-K ohala. Mauna Kea, Hualalai
and Mauna Loa The first three are
extinct, but Mauna Loa has two ac-
tive craters. Mauna Kea, 1885 feet
above sea level, is not only the high
est mountain iD Hawaii, but the high
est island mountain in the world. XII
lauea. the largest active crater in the
world. is on the southeastern slope
of Mauna Loa. 1t is huge pit, 293
miles long, 1.95 miles wide, 7.85 miles
LIN circumference and Ala miles in
area. On the southwest the side walls
are broken away, giving easy access
to the flow of the crater and the pit
of Halemaumau, or lake of fire. Here
one may stand on the edge of the pit
and see the molten lava boiling and
spouting one hundred tn three hun
dred feet below Kilauea is a volca-
no of the caldron type, and has never
been known to have an explosive erup-

The rainfall on the island varies
greatly, ranging from 1858 inches a
wear in the upper Waipio valley, to
twenty to sixty inches on the slopes
of HualaIai. The only surface streams
on the island are found along the
,a,tbaact coast between Eilo and I[o-

stream on the island and has been
partly developed for irrigation. At
