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 S0S.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, its
rugged mountain ranges and impene-
trable forests, its deadly climate and
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 Wollaston's
"Pygmies and Papuans" (Sturgis &
Walton Co., New York; and Captain
Rawlings Land of the New Guinea
Pygmies" u. B. Lippincott Co., Phila-
delphia).
Here is 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 state that
1t is literally what Doctor Wollaston
calls 1.-THE stone age today.
The pygmies encountered by VOL
laston in one of their villages among
the spurs of Mount Tapiro were clean
ly built, active little fellows, whose
average adult stature was somewhat
less than four feet six inches Their
skin is 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 fame. 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 a split bamboo instru-
ment. something like a jew sharp.
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 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. 1t
may have been that the pygmies
feared the big Papuan men who ac-
companied the expedition from the
plains would carry off their wives. 1t
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

in the monthly bulletin of the Pan
American union, Washington. D. c.

times forming portions of squalid

cross in front OF the church is made up
OF them, while on either side OF the
gateway to the Enclosure stands

by the ravages OF time, still show the

Remarkable Aptitude of the
Maoris in New Zealand Is
Describ

A little more than half a century
ago, cannibalistic feasts were held by
the Nacris tribe of savages of New
Zealand; today. metlbers of the race
are members of the New Zealand par
lament. and Maori women, as well as
the white women of New Zealand, eX-
ercise the right to vote. They are in
many respects the most remarkable
savages with whom the white man
has come in contact, according to
statement given out by the National
Geographic society, at Washington,
today.
when the English first occupied
the islands, in the early part of the
nineteenth century, il is estimated that
there we're obcut 100000 Maoris in

tribe having its own unwritten laws

ruins are located 1900 feet above the
level of the sea on a vast plateau
where the constant cold prevents the
maturing of corn or other grain. At
present potatoes. oca, and some other
edible roots are grown, but the region
sustains only a scanty mountain popu-
lation. The city once covered a large
area, the great structures were built
by skilled masons. One stone Is SO
feet long by feet wide and weighs
40 tons; another is 90 feet by 16. and
feet thick. Only the monoliths OF
ancient Egypt equal those found in lis
uanacu. The movement and placing
of such monoliths point to dense
population, to an organized govern
ment. and consequently TO a large ag-
ricultural area with means of trans
portation from various directions. The
only tenable explanation is that at the
time when Tiahuanacu fiourished the
Andes were from 1000 to 5000 feet
lower than at present. Biologists hold
that in the jurassic and even in the
cretaceous period there were no Andes
and that through a gradual upheaval
they have been formed in more recent
geological times. The bones of mas
todon have been discovered in Bolivia
at an altitude of $4,000 feet above the
sea, and such an animal could not have
existed at such an elevation. Ske!e-
tons OF gigantic anteaters have been
found in the deserts of Tarapaca, and
these could only have existed in re-
gions of arboreal vegetation. These,
and other geological feats, support the
theory that the ancient city Of Tiahuan-
acu existed when the Andes were
much lower than at present, perhaps
when the cave man of Britain was
fighting for his life with cave bear,
wild boar, and mastOdon, and sketch
ing rude pictures on the walls of his
primitive, subterranean dwelling.

their tattooing, which was designed to

Whoever refused to undergo the pro-

tent. Il is in comparatively small
I quantities. But Lubbock has had the
advertising No matter how much
ne other people advertise. Lubbock
has the start over all the rest. We
can keep This advantage, Il we will.
First, We muer advertise extens-
lively.
Second, we must keep our heads.
On the question Of advertising. we
have this to say: Every grower OF
Sudan should plan to spend Just an
much for advertising as he can. Lub-
bock county should spend several
thousand dollars in advertising Su-
dan grass alone
Again, this advertising should not
oe handled in a hit-or-miss manner.
And, in order to prevent this, we
suggest that one man or a committee
he asked to handle this advertising.
Let each grower OF seed give 70 this
man or committee the amount OF
IoOney he desires 20 use for adver.
Using purposes. and then let his mon
ey be handled from this one source
CT course. in consultation with each
grower. as TO how his money should
be used. Each man who contributes
would thus get a better return for his
money than II he scattered IL himself.
Because through committee OF
either one or three, can so distribute
tile advertising that Il viii do the
most good OF course. each man
would have his name on his own
advertising.
Another suggestion: II each man
who intends spending money on adj
vertising would put into fund
small per cent OF this money, for ths
purpose OF advertising Lubbock as the
Sudan center OF the country. and let
This money be placed by the same
committee. IL would be Of great as
distance in pushing the sale of this
seed. Two or three per cent would
make a good sum for suca purpose.
rnis committee should serve with
out remuneration, and could get fins
results
After consulting with several SUI
can grass growers we have decided to
call a meeting Of all Sudan growers
On First Monday, at the Courthouse,
at $3.50 p. m. for the purpose OF talk
ing over the questions with regard to
the marketing Of This crop. Let every
Sudan grower make Il a point TO be
