spirits fight for the control of mankind.
Sometimes one conquers and sometimes the
other. Others, such as the Conibos, are sun
worshipers, as were the Incas at the time
that Pizarro came while others believe that
the spirits of good people return to earth
after death and live in jaguars or monkeys,
while those of the bad go into reptiles or
parrots. Nearly every tribe has its witch
doctors, and all are honeycombed with SUI
perstition.
Altogether, the Indians of the eastern
Amazon are comparatively few The tribes
are largely scattered, and many of them are
rather families than tribes Professor Or
ton, one of the best authorities on the ANA
zon, estimated that there are not more than
forty thousand people living along that
river, and the Maranon, and there are prob
ably less than 100000 on the eastern slopes
of the Andes. The Royal Geographical So
ciety of Lima, Peru recently estimated the
number OF savages in those regions at some
thing like 10000, dividing them into tribes
that range in size from few hundred to two
OF three thousand, the largest being the Hui
totos, which are put at 10000, and after that
his estimate as 10000 or more, and CLASH
hes the Indians into IL tribes, large num-
Der of which have but few members
None of these tribes is equal to the best
type of the North American Indian. The
most of them are short, and they vary in
color from red to black Nearly all have
l., ,ol,a al Ill
black hair and black eyes Some are very,
muscular and few are brave. The ma
jority, however, are cowardly and so afraid
of the whites that they have been practically
enslaved by them in the work of rubber
gathering.
Some of the tribes wear no clothes what
ever Others have clothes OF bark cloth
and some wear short skirts made of the bark
of tree Not few make beautiful ham
mocks, also exquisite feather work, formed
of the bright-colored plumage of the birds of
the Amazon valley.
Several of the tribes are musical The
Aguarunas have flutes Of reed or bone and
kind of violin with three strings. They
also have drums of tree trunks which they
use for sending their wireless messages from
one savage settlement to another.
None of the tribes associates with any
other tribe. There is no union of govern
ment; and the chiefs are generally chosen
for their superior ferocity and strength.
The languages differ widely, and there is no
method of writing Some of the savages
count on their fingers and express the high
er numbers by movements of the fingers
but all are in a low state of civilization and
are sinking lower by the vices and liquor
brought in by the whites.

the party took canoes and floated down one
of the Amazon tributaries to the mouth of
the Ucayali, which is one of the sources of
the Amazon. The Ucaya1i flows into the
Maranon, and the latter goes down into the
main stream. Mr.. Taylor visited Iquitos
the chief rubber port of the upper Amazon,
and then came back overland through Peru
He describes Iquitos as a city of $4,000 in
habitants and as one of high prices. 1t cost
him S. day there for his food alone.
Among the most interesting stories told
me by Mr.. Taylor were those about the
Jivaro Indians. These savages are head
hunters who kill their enemies and preserve
their heads as trophies of war. l have seen
many of these heads during my travels and
have made photographs of them. | was
once offered a head for 500 in gold, but
refused it for fear that the ghost of the dead
man might haunt me for the rest of my life.
This head was about as big as my fist. The
bones of the skull had been removed and
the skin SO carefully shrunken that none of
the features was lost. The skin of the face
was black and the long hair which hung
down from the skull was of the same raven
hue. The nose was almost negroid in
shape, and the lips were sewed together
with long cotton strands that hung down
like macrame fringe.
Mr.. Taylor told me the story of how these
heads are cured as he got it from the ma
tives. He says it is drying process. After
killing man they cut his head off close to
~ e1,N II.
camp they open it and take out the bones OF
the skull. The skin of the head is then
sewed together from the crown to the base
OF the neck. 1t is now kind of bag This
is filled with hot sand, but is kept as far as
possible in its original shape 1t is pressed
inward during the drying, the sand being
changed from time to time, until the head is
reduced to one-fourth or one-fifth the origi-
nal size. Before beginning the curing, the
skin is painted with the juice of the huito, a
fruit that looks much like an aguacate pear.
This juice is leather preserver. 1t is
smeared over the head inside and out AS
the head grows smaller a stone of the shape
of a small skull is inserted and the skin is
worked down upon it. This stone regulates
the size of the head when it is cured It is
taken out before the skin has grown too
hard, but after its features are fixed The
head is then hung up over the fireplace and
allowed to cure in the smoke
Mr.. Taylor describes the Jivaro Indians
as well made, good looking people. He
says they are polygamists, some OF them
having seven or eight wives. They multiply
rapidly, but the population is kept down by
feuds, during which one family will lay for
another and shoot any of its members on
sight. In order to be ready to defend them
selves they sleep in sitting posture, each
brave having his spear between his knees
While visiting one tribe Mr.. Taylor saw
three Jivaros who had just come in from the

hunt They were thin and gaunt They
described a raid that had just been made on
their family, during which all had been killed
but themselves. Mr.. Taylor took canoe
and went with priest to the place of the
killing. There were women and children
and old men lying on the ground. The
heads of all had been cut off, and the captors
were probably curing them as l have de-
scribed.
another interesting thing about the In
dams of the upper Amazon, said Mr.. Tay-
lor, rs their use of the blowgun and the poi
soned arrow This is common among most
Of the tribes between the Napo and the Mar
anon. Their guns are long tubes just large
enough around for the arrows, which are
wrapped with cotton at the ends to make
them fit close. The arrows are small, not
more than a foot or a foot and half in
length, and not much thicker than wooden
toothpick. The poison is so deadly that it
will kill almost anything that the arrow
goes into. 1t comes from Brazil The In
dams can send these arrows from 40 to 50
feet at shot, and they can hit monkey or
bird in high tree For their fighting
they use spears much like those of the
knights of the middle ages. There is a
Spaniard who makes these spears and sells
them to the Indians for rubber Some of
the tribes poison their spears with venom
which they make from certain plant mixed
with the juice from dead bodies in a state of
putrefaction. The poison is put UP in earth
enware jars, or in joints of bamboo, and it
forms an article of commerce among the In
dams It is also used on the arrows, and
that dor the killing Of game. 1t does not
injure the meat.
The Jiyaro Indians are supersttious.
They have witch doctors, who make drink
called hahuasa from the root and leaves of
a shrub, boiled into tea This stuff is
something like opium, and it makes one see
visions and dream dreams. Mr.. Taylor tried
it. Shortly after he had drunk, spots came
in front of his eyes, and little later on he
saw pictures of saints. The witch doctors
told him to concentrate his mind on his
family. He did so and saw snakes, but a
little later his family actually appeared be-
fore his minds eye, and that far more real
than in any dream he had ever experienced.
Another most interesting man with whom
/ have talked about the Indians of the east
ern Andes is German explorer named
Kroehle, who spent three years in travelling
among them. He had camera with him,
and was able to get some prints from his
negatives. Some of these ! dare not pub
lish for the figures are entirely nude, being
especially interesting from an chronological
standpoint Mr. Kroehle was twice wound
ed with poisoned arrows, and he had some
narrow escapes from the head hunters in the
neighborhood of the River Napo He de-
scribes the Napo region as full Of queer
people. Some Of the Indians there have in

Continued from Page ID

Of the Olympic In the daring attempt
Of rescue, but no gable would hold
when they strove to drag the wound
ed ship into shaIIower water. It soon
became evident that the Audacious
was doomed. Several other warships
had come up in the meantime and the
captain and officers Of the dread
naught who remained on board were
advised to leave the vessel.
After they left their ship, the squad
ron standing about continued its
watch, awaiting the Inevitable. Be-
tween $500 and 900 o'clock that
night the Audacious trembled from
stem to stern with the force Of an
explosion. Then she plunged to the
bottom. One man on board tho cruIs-
er Liverpool was killed by the ex.
plosion on board the dreadnaught, a
fragment Of steel being blown across
the deck Of the cruiser. The sailor
was terribly MANNED and died within
a short time.
The Audacious was Of the same
class az the Centurion, the Ajax and
the King George v. The ship was
completed only two years ago Sep.
TENDER, 1912. She was built at a
cost Of $9,s25, 900. Under trial she
made speed Of PA knots. The YES
sci was 5ee feet long and had a dis
placement Of $4,000 tons. The Audac
ious carried ten 1875 Inch guns, throw

and four 3-pounders. She had three

The secret agents Of the state de-

that this firm is again in the market.
They say it Is offering 100000 rifles
at So piece to any one who wants
to start fresh trouble in Mexico. Be-
cause this information is in the pos
session Of the heads OF the govern
ment. 1t can be asserted as post
tive fact that no such deal will be
permitted to go through. Secretary
Daniels stated this evening that ma
rines now at Vera Cruz will BE-
brought back to Philadelphia and not
to any other Of the concentration
points. To emphasize his belief that
an end Of the Mexican trouble Is in
sight, he stated the men in the three
regiments can have three leaves OF

Daniels, this evening, suggested that
the disposition OF the naval strength
OF the United States was an illuml-
mating answer to lingo talk. In Mexi,
can waters three months ago, was the
greatest armada ever assembled IN

are only two battleships and seven
