QUEER CUSTOMS IN B0RNEo
Norwegian Explorer Writes Of Some
Of His Experiences in
That Island.

Quaint customs in darkest Borneo
are described by DR.. Carl Lumholtz,
Norwegian traveller. Doctor Lumholtz
says, In part:
We met six natives who had been
hunting the rhinoceros in the west.
The horn of the animal when pow
dered is in great demand by the Chi
nese as a medicine, and fetches a high
price. Such an expedition may last for
two months. The hunters carry no pro-
visions, and live on sage and what
animals they can kill. When there is
a scarcity of food they frequently go
three or four days merely on water,
and stay the pangs of hunger with
tobacco. l was told that a man would
tackle a rhluoceros with a spear
single-handed, though the beast Is
very difficult to kill.
One day we were surprised by the
arrival of a Saputan chief with two
companions in a boat. They brought
with them a dog, a blOwpipe for darts,
and a recently killed pig.
Not far from the Muller mountains
we camped upon the Upper kasao
river, which is inhabited by S~putans.
They are n crude, friendly people,
who, a hundred years ago, were mere
cave-dwellers in the. mountains to the
east.
At Saputan 1 had the good fortune
to take a cinematograph picture of the
ceremony of the piercing of a chiefs
ears. 1t is their privilege to wear a
tigers tooth inserted In a hole In the
upper part of each ear.
The chief was seated and a board
was placed behind his head. Friends
and supporters assisted in the opera
ton, which consisted Of an empty rifle
cartridge being forced through his ear.
Blood streamed down, aud the man,
apparently of a very robust type,
seemed to be near fainting. A medi-
cine man was hurriedly summoned,
and he clapped his hands over the ears
and then, opening them, produced a
small stone. This he threw into the
river.
l was told that this stone was the
supposed cause of the chiefs illness,
The scene was brought to a dramatic
conclusion by the exhausted chief be-
ing ignOminlOusly carried away on the
back of a young man. During the aft
ernoon more pebbles were produced by
the same sleight of hand, and a pig
was killed in order to appease the bad
spirit which had caused the chiefs III
ness.
The Dyaks of the Upper Mahakkan
are friendly to strangers, and as the
great rapids down the river form a
natural barrier they seldom receive
visitors, and are little changed by out
side influence. The Mohanlmedan Ma
lays, for instance, have never been
able to extend their influence above
the rapids.
Luckily for the Dyaks. and incident
ally for ethnology, these natives pos
sess a fine muscular development. The
women are well formed and move with
grace and freedom. The headhuntlng
part Of the native religion has been
practically suppressed by Dutch infiu-
ence. and so far as 1 could ascertain
the last IA Of the kind in this region
was at least five years ago.

LOBSTER NOW LUXURY
Food Has Passed Beyond the
Reach of the Poorer People.
Should Catch Small Lobster and Leave
Larger Ones to Breed, is Opinion
Expressed by Expert

The lobster has passed beyond the
reach of the poor and has become a
luxury only to be enjoyed by the rich.
Every year the price of Holsters adj
vances a few points, and ever at the
highest price offered It is difficult to
obtain them. From Massachusetts
comes the information that were 1t
not for the catches In Maine and Nova
Scotia, Holsters could not be had In
Massachusetts,, for the waters of that
state have been fished out. In 1883, SO
the Boston Transcript says, 1,740,S5O
Holsters Of legal size were caught in
Massachusetts. In 1914, only 1913
were taken there. The opinion seems
to be gaining ground in Massachusetts,
that a mistake has been made in deal
ing with the lobster industry. The
small lobster has been protected, while
the large lobster, which is the one
which produces an enormous quantity
of young, has been taken. This, It is
held by some. is wrong. We should
catch the small lobster, so It is argued,
and leave the bigger ones to breed.
AANAS e " DC oOl1G NltLue III
this contention, because in spite of the
lobster Matching plants maintained by
the federal government fewer Holsters
are being taken each year, while the
demand for them is continually in
creasing. This, of course, accounts for
the high prices. 1t is also claimed
that in planting lobster fry the federal
OppntC hoUa Tnodn cnrfnr.c h1Y1Inro
The fry have been liberated In places
where they have been subjected to the
attncks of other fish, and few of the
Holsters Matched in the government
plants have ever attained a size
where they could look after them
selves. The experienced fisherman OF
the Maine coast have frequently called
attention to the mistakes which were
being made in lobster propagation and
preservation, but as frequently hap
pens in the making of laws, the opIn-
ions of men who know something
about Holsters and their habits have
been ignored, and the theorists have
been the only ones consulted.

government to do the same thing. II ia
reasonable to suppose that the lob
sters would increase and this industry
would regain something Of the magni-
tude 1t has lost. But we have no Idea
that such a plan will be adopted. 1t
would be ~strenuously opposed by the
dealers, who now make large profits
in the business, and probably by the
fishermen also, who have considerable
capital tied up In their fishing gear.
What has happened in Massachusetts.
where few Holsters are now being
taken, must eventually take place in
Maine, and unless some radical step Is
adopted the time Is not far away when
even as a luxury the lobster will be-
come so scarce as to be beyond the
reach of everyone save the epIcurean
of the plutocratic class.-Portland

Fish EuQs.

The cod is estimated to yield 40, 0O0,-
600 eggs each season. As many as
100000, 5000, 900 and even 9,5OO.OOO
eggs have been found in the roe of a
single cod. An eel was caught in Scot
lane some years ago which contained
upward Of 100000 eggs. This, how
ever, would appear to have been an ex-
ceptlonal find, and 1t Is generally adj
mitted that the cod Is more prolific
than any other fish. Though not
equaling the cod, many kinds of fish
are exceedingly prolific. More than
$4,000 eggs have been counted In a
herring, $4,000 in a smelt, 1,OOO,OOO
in a sole, 100000 in a roach,
100000 in a sturgeon, A. 1000 In a
carp, $4,000 in a tench, $4,000 In
a mackerel, $4,000 In d perch, and
1,357,00 o in a founder. The oyster
Is also very prolific. 1t has been as
certained by recent observation that

lively about. A herring weighing six
or seven ounces is provided with
about 10000 eggs. 1t has been estl-
mated that in three years a single pair
of herrings would produce $4,000, 900.
Button calculated that If a pair
of herrlngs could be left to breed and
multiply undlsturbed for a period Of
20 years they would yield an amount
of fish equal in bulk to the globe
