human faces. tortoises, birds. fishes
and mythical animals. The most
common figure is strange crea-
ture, half human in form, with
bowed back and long, clawlike legs
and arms. 1t is supposed TO repre-.

OF the sea.
Enormous platforms Of stone arc
on nearly every headland OF the

feet high, looking toward the sea.

preston is stern and resolute. The
images represent the human body

off squarely to AFFORD good sup
port when standing.
The marvel is how, without me-
chanical contrivances. these inn
ages were set up in places distant
from the quarries where they were
lowered by system of checks and
hempen ropes 10 their proper
places. The platforms were all
built with sloping terraces in the
rear, SO that the images could
be more easily dragged into place.
The name Easter Island was
given TO the place by the Dutch
Admiral Roggeveen. who discov-
cred the island on Easter Sunday,
1921. To the natives the island is
known as TIE Pito te Henua, a
name signifying "the centre and
interior Of the body" To the SIM
ple-minded Polynesian it is sug-
gestive and beautiful name. The
island is distinctly of volcanic
origin, and craters arc clearly
traceable on nearly all the hills
and mountains. Rama Kao and

Strange T attooing on an Old
Easter Island Native Show
ing Symbols Which Are Not
Understood Now.

A y entcrprising English ex-
~ plorer, ". Scoresby Rout-
ledge, has concluded four
teen months of hard work devoted
to solving the mysteries or Easter
Island.
How this lonely island. 2,100
miles west Of the coast OF Chilli,
all by itself in the midst Of the vast
South Pacific Ocean, should have
developed thousands OF years ago
q peculiar civilization OF its own,
have produced colossal sculptures,
written literature and a compli-
Gated religion has always remained
one of the most battling mysteries
of humankind.
w. Scoresby Routledge set out
on his adventurous journey in his
eighty-foot sailing yacht Mana, ac-
companied by his wife and chill
dren. lie was also assisted by n
geologist and archaeologist from
the British Museum. who will help
TO determine the age of the relics,
the race and history of the inhabi-
tan;s and other facts.
Word has just been received
from Mr. Routledge that he has
completed his work on Easter Isl
ana and expects TO return with the
fullest history OF this mysterious
community yet published. This
message was received through the
Chilean warship General Bacque-
dano, which has returned from

One Of the "Smalp Heads
from Easter Island, Now in
the National Museum at
Washington.

Rama Roraka arc the two chief vol
canoes, and their craters are OF
great depth. with lakes OF water at
their bottoms.
The native thinks he can see in
the shape OF the crater and in the
gently sloping sides Of Rama Kao
some resemblance to the human
stomach. He imagines, too, that
these images We're created which
now, lying PROSTATE and mutilated
in tho dust, are still objects
of awe and wonder to the
traveller. Hence the name Of TIE
Pito te Henua. a more modern
name sometimes applied to Eastern
Island is that Of Rapa Nui, which
was bestowed upon it some twenty
years ago by the people of Tahiti
lrresularly triangular in shape,
Easter Island has an area OF only
thirty-four square miles. It's great
est length is thirteen miles, it's
greatest width seven miles. The
colossal figures which puzzle the
world must have been hewn out OF
the rock with vast labor, and those
enormous platforms, found on near
ly every headland around the
coast, must have been erected with
the help of many hands. Only with
infinite pains, too, could those i'm
ages have been moved to their
places upon the platforms by a PEG.
pie whose only implements Of en-.
gineering were the lever and the
roller.
Since It's discovery the island
has been visited at successive
times by Cook and La Perouse, by
the II. M. S. Blossom in 1926 and
Topaz in 1868, by the Chilean gun
boat O'Higgins in 1870 and 1875,
by the Fl. NJ. 8. Sappho in 1882, and
by the German gunboat Hyoene in
1882.
The natives proudly claim de.

to their great progenitors. They
are rather small-boned, medium.

One of the Largest Of the
Strange Colossal Heads on
Easter Island-7O feet high
and weighing ESQ Tons.

when the United States steamship
Mohican visited Easter Island, with
the help of very old man named
IRE Naicko, the only survivor
among the islanders who remem
bered the written language. 1t was
only by plying him with 1.-The cup
that cheers" and paying him liber-
ally that the translation could he
obtained.
These TRANSACTIONS show that the
Easter Islanders possessed a COM
plicatcd religion of a pantheistic
character and, on the whole. an
elevated one. All things on earth
are attributed to the marriages OF
various gods and goddesses. Tho
language Of one of these tablets
reads like Psalm, as shown by
this extract:
What power has the Great King
on the land?
"lic has the power to create the
Holsters, whitehall, cells, apetish
and everything in the sea.
What power has the Great King
over the sea-"
The existing islanders are he
lieyed to be descendants Of the
builders Of the monuments. but
they have entirely lost their civili-
Zation. When il ceased to exist Is
almost as much. mystery as when
it came into existence. There is
some evidence that the island was
thickly populated in historic times,
and that the population was sud
denly wiped ont by some catas-
trophe.
The monuments prove that the
island possessed at one time a very
large population. There are now
only few score people, on it, and
these seem doomed to early extinc.
ton.
The chief works of the ancient
Islanders left arc their stone
houses, sculpturcd rocks. platforms
and images. At the southwest end
OF the island there arc from eighty
10 one hundred stone houses, built
in a regular line against a terrace
Of earth or rock, which In some

Easter Island recently. having made
a stop there few months ago. 1t
requires ordinarily upward OF three
months for message to reach the
civilized world from Easter Island.
Much has been written about
Easter Island, but the essential
secrets have never been fathomed.
There arc on the island $50 colossal
stone busts, the largest seventy
feet high and the smallest eighteen.
How they were made and what
they represent are matters that
have never been settled.
The age of the Easter Island civ
ilization has hitherto been n mys-
terry. A date varying from 1000 to
5000 years ago has been assigned
to them. Some scientists have
seen in these remains n close con-
nection with the ancient civiliza-
tions OF Mexico and South America,
while Paymaster William J. Thorn.
son. of the United States steamship
Mohican, tho best American au-
thority on the subject, declares
positively that the Easter Island
remains represent the same stage
or development rs Stonehenge In
England and the Cromlechs of
Brittany.
1t is a strange fact that among
the numerous semi-civiliZed COM
munities Of the South Pacific
Easter Island was the only one
that possessed q writing and lit
erature OF its own. There are in
existence about seven tablets, all
that are left of vast number, bear.
ing the written story Of the religion
and legends Of the Easter Islanders.
Paymaster Thomson was able to
