This morning We are near the source
of the mighty Konso. aud why are
We here" To what shall We lend our
attention to-day: Well. first We are
going to explore the great Eonco for
est. AS | have just previously stated
we are ROW not far from the source
OF the mighty kouSO, and il is here
that we tnd the above -nlentioucd for
est. which is very wonderful. as we
shall learn in a short while hence.
The forest extends Oh the cas-; nearly
10 Lakes Tanganyika and Eaneweoia
and on the north reaches to the Sudan.
The area covered by the same is ten
times the size O; Ohio state. or forty
times that OF Massachusetts.
Oh. what 4 forest. The trees are so
close together. with vines running in
every direction. that person can
scarcely make his Way through. This
forest is not in.Xtricable to man only.
hut much also IL such as 10 prevent
Tie light OF the sun from coming in,
anG the forest therefore. il dark in
some places. There is some valuable
timber in this region. Animals, Wild
aud fierce, are plentiful.
Now. We have been talkin. about
this fores; principally as Il preface to
our discussion Of the pIsmicS. for IL
is IA the described region that they
an. found. and such description will
help US to get !. better idea al the
icciti!tN ana surroundings.
What is meant by "pysmics": Well,
py@mies. If YOU do no; know. are little
people. OF. more accurate. people who
stopped growing when they were yet
quite small. rysm!es. as we talk about
them here in this region, are uegritoes.
or little negroes. They are about the
,iac OF fourteer-year-o boys and
girls. They are as black. for the most
part rs black can he. and would look

little effort 10 he decent. indeed, some
have on no clothes AT all save little
something about their waists. They
live in tribes. and these often make war
on each other The pNemieS are afraid
OF tribes that are not py2mias. These
FELLOWS hunt ana do various things.
There is more to he said about them.
