In the world-counting Australia as a
continent. Lying south OF the equa-
tor, and separated from Australia by
the Arafura sea and Torres strait,
New Guinea has an area OF 3OS,OOo
square miles. The possession OF TINS
vast territory Is divided, politically
speaking. between Holland, Great
Britain and Germany. Only In the
British territory has any serious at
tempt been made at settling and ad-
ministering the country.
Owing to its remote situation. lts
rugged mountain ranges and tmpehe-
trable forests, its deadly climate anu
hostile, treacherous inhabitants, New
Guinea today is practically terra In
cognita. 1t offers greater opportunities
for the explorer. collector and anthro-
pologist than any other portion OF the
globe.
The expedition recently sent to this
virgin land by the British Ornitholo-
gists' union made pioneer explorations
in the land OF the Tapiro pygmies, de-
scribed in two narratives OF sensa-
tional interest: Doctor Wollastons
"Pygmies and Papuans" (Sturgis *
Walton Co., New York; and Captain
Rawlings Land OF the New Guinea
Pygmies" g. b. Lippincott Co., Phila-
delphia).
Here Ia a marvellous country, with
snow-clad peaks as high as Mount
Blanc, rising from impenetrable tropi-
cal forests inhabited by native races
who live in so primitive a state that
It is literally what Doctor Wollaston
calls 1.-THE stone age today.
The pygmies encountered by VOL
iaston in one of their villages among
the spurs of Mount Tapiro we're clean
ly built, active little fellows, whose
average adult stature was somewhat
skin is a dusky yellowish brown. hair
short and woolly and black. Many OF
the men have short, bushy black
boards. With the exception OF head
dress of plated fibers and feathers
and a gourd strapped around the loins,
they go about unclothed. They carry
bows and arrows, flint knives and
stone-headed clubs, and make fire by
friction of bamboo sticks, blowing the
smoldering finder into flame. The
raise and smoke tobacco, mostly In
the form of cigarettes; set snares for
birds, wild pigs and small animals;
and extract a faint, pleasing sort OF
music from split bamboo instru-
ment, something like a jew's-harp.
Doctor Wollaston found the Tapiro
pygmies shy and timorous, but eager
for barter, and extremely curious
about the white men. Their women
he never set eyes on. The village head
man, a bald and white-bearded old
creature horribly disfigured by dis
ease, kept up a shrill shouting all the
while the strangers were in sight;
and 1t was probably due to his pro-
tests that the Englishmen-on this
trip, at least-were not permitted to
view the female of the. species. II
may have been that the pygmies
feared the big Papuan men who ac-
companied the expedition from the
plains would carry off their wives. II
seems the supply of Papuan women
is very scanty. and the men would be
apt to seize any chance of abducting
a Tapiro woman.
Mr.. Wollaston tells OF an exciting
chase after two small men, who were
ultimately captured and kindly
treated. but who showed no inclina.
ton to conduct strangers to their
home" This with the aid of native
porters was finally reached, and

b.s beer advised by some Of the best

Mr.. Mitchell repeated some of the
arguments he has previously used in
savor Of a bond issue Of 81 1000 900 by
the county, the same 10 be submitted
10 the voters at the election next fall.
His idea IS TO get good roads now. in
stead OF waiting indefinitely for them.
He points TO the example OF Nermilion
county which. with a population OF So
600. 1850 miles OF roads and property
Of az assessed valuation of $36.30O. 900,
las voted a bond issue OF S1.500,0O0

hat Rock Island county with 10000
people. 677 miles OF roads and S21. 800

surely should be sufficiently enterpris-
ing TO bond itself for $1.0p0.0OO for a
striIar purpose. Rock Island county
f now ninth in population in the state
and 55th in assessment OF taxes for
road purposes. a circumstance which
speaks poorly for the county's enter
prise and which Is reflected in the
