FEARED "SHARk GODS"

Because they believed construc-

Pearl Harbor naval station had de-
stroyed its home, a number of ma
tives RECENTLY offered sacrifice of a
pig and a chicken to the SHARK
god" one of the ancient Hawaiian
deities.
When, number of years ago, hy-
drostatic pressure wrecked the floor
of the drydock when work was first
started, many native Hawaiians de-
clared it was manifestation of the
wrath Of the shark god, which had
been driven from its home. and with
the huge basin of concrete now near
ing completion it was decided to
avert another mishap by making a
sacrifice to appease the anger Of the
evicted "god."
The slaughtered pig and chicken
were supposed to have been thrown
to the sharks Of Pearl Harbor, but
rumor persists that they were res
cued and served at a luau (natlve

ALWAYS IN DEADLY PERIL
Divers, y Their salvaeins Operations
Forced 70 Cope With Many
Kinds o. Dangers

Owing to the extension of salvage
operations, divers have been in great
demand during the war. 1t is risky
work, for the diver has to cope with
pressure and its effects, with dam
gers to his air-pipe, which, though
very stout and strong, can be sawn
through without his perceiving what
it is rubbing against, say, a jagged
plate or other rough surface.
There is also the danger Of COM
ing up too quickly in case Of emer-
gency. On any accident to the air
pipe the diver has to get to the sur
face inside two minutes. This means
that the change Of pressure is very
rapid and the effect on the blood
very dangerous. In the ordinary way
the diver comes up in stages, paus-
ing at intervals to accustom himself
to the new conditions.
There have been attempts to turn
him into a sort Of submarine by the
use of rigid suits. The drawback
is that he is thus unable to work,
and so far the problem of combin-
ing movement with something which
will resist pressure does not appear
to have been solved.

LIVE IN PRACTICAL SLAVERY
esthonians Little Better Than Serfs
to the Germans, Who Own Nine
Tenths Of Land.

Esfhonians. or Esths, who have re-
pulsed repeated attacks from the Boil
sheviki. and recently drove a force un
der Trotzky to ignominious flight, are
described by DR.. Edwin A. Grosveno,
In National Geographic society bull
letin as follows:
The Esths are Finno-Ugr,ar
people. once savage and adventurous,
terrifying the Baltic with their piracy.
constantly attacking and attacked by
the Danes and Swedes. Their final
subsection by the Brothers of the
Sword and their enforced acceptance
of Christianity crushed their spirit
and rendered them serfs to the Ger
man masters.
The Esths outnumber the Germans
In the old province Of Esthonia % to
l: yet nine-tenths of all the land Is
held by Germans.
In the former province of Livonia
the Esths constitute nearly half the
population. while the Germans are
less than one-fifteenth. There the land
Is divided into estates averaging over
ten thousand acres in extent, none
owned by an Esth or Lett hut almost
invariably by a German.
The Russian government at times
endeavored by agrarian laws to allie
viate the condition of the peasant.
Such efforts failed against the stolid
resistance Of the great proprietors.
The Esths have chung devotedly to
their national language. the sole In.
heritance from their past. They love
poetry and song. Their physical char
acteristics are Finnic; their faces
short. broad. beartiless; their fore
heads low. mouths small. arms long,
legs short. Despite their extreme pow
erty education Is relatively advanced.
All hut 4 per cent are Lutheran Prot
estantS.
Since the sudden universal awaken
ing In 1918 the Esths have been insis-
tent upon national recognition. But
ownership in the land Is their greatest
need.
