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

r., Esthonians, or Esths. who have re-
pulsed repeated attacks from the Boil
sheviki, and recently drove force IN
der Trotzky to- ignominious flight, are
described by Or. Edwin A. Grosyenor
in National Geographic society bull
letin as follows: ia.
The Esths are Finno- Ugrian
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 20 to
1; yet nine,tenths Of all the land Is
held by Germans. az
In the former province of Lvonia
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 but almost
Invariably by a German. -..,,,, > ,,.,
4, The Russian government at times
.endeavored By agrarian laws to allie
,yiate the condition Of the peasant.
Such efforts failed against the stolid
resistance of the great proprietors.
The Esths have chung devotediy 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, beardless; theif fore
heads low. mouths i small pal. arms long,
legs short. Despite their extreme pow
erty education is relatively advanced.

estants. -.

No Moro Dark Continent.

One may no longer believe in the
existence of strange white people
in Africa. Rider Haggard's splendid
race is probably only the Bahima,
originally discovered by Spoke in
southwestern Uganda. At least Sir
Harry Johnston claims to have discov-
cred In them the clue to many of the
mysterious. iwhite-race legends found
in the dark, continent. He was en-
gagged in. nothing more. thrilling than
a tour Of inspection Of Ankole when
he came across them. They are of a
very, light complexion, and are the
aristocrats Of this region. Sir Harry
holds that they are obviously descend
ants from Gala. Somali or other
Hamitic stock, and adds that some OF
them are more like Egyptians than
is the case with CALAIS and Somalis.
Romance disappears before the tread
of the explorer. The dark continent
is dark no more. n.y. - w

BELOVED OF TOBACCO USERS
In Meerschaun, Smokers Acknowledge
That One Good Thing Has Come
Out Of Turkey. 5..

n Eski Scheir. in Asiatic Turkey, has
one unique claim upon public In
terest, and If one Is "a smoker that
claim is a compelling one. 1t Is the
home of meerschaum. Meerschaum
in abundance Is found only on the plain
of Eski Scheir. and this city produces
all the marketable meerschaum In the
world. 80 ,--..
Meerschaum, as its name implies, Is
supposed to be petrified seafoam, and
has been discovered floating on the
Black sea. Apart from the Eski Scheir
mines 1t occurs in Greece, Samoa,
Spain, Moravia, Utah, Pennsylvania,
and, in conjunction with serpentine,
in Norway'and South Carolina. -. Ia.
The .ancients are said to have used
1t as decorative stone in buildings,
and this seems to have been confirmed
by the recent excavations in Corfu. 1t
Is. soft and whftish, and becomes NAL
leable like clay when soaked in water.
Meerschaum used to be considered
mere curiosity by the Turks, who had
no other use for it than as substi-
tute for fuller's soap. The story runs
that the Turkish ambassador at the
Austrian court, In the. eighteenth cen
fury. was a native of Esh Scheir.
Wanting to help his city at time Of
great poverty, he took sample of this
queer stuff to Vienna. thinking that
the. franks: as all foreigners were
then called, might have some use for
it.. The Germans were quick to see
Its utility for pipe bowls, but declared
1t was good for nothing else -.
More than a century has confirmed
this judgment, for who has yet discov-
cred any other use for meerschaum?
For pipe making it is an ideal raw
material. Here Is a stone which Is
easily nodded when VET and when
dry becomes. hard and resistssfire. IN

Toll Of Snakes In India.

The American consul, NJ. NJ. Hay

states in a government report that
more than $4,000 persons lost their
lives in the country last year because
of snakes and wild animals-the
snakes claiming by far the larger num-
Der of victims. -.
To be exact, the consul says that
23,9OOi persons died in India last year
as as result of snake bite, and that
2.l76 persons were killed BY wild anil an

Famous Sapphires.

I'D Fine sapphires are more valuable
than diamonds Of equal weight and
quality, only rubies being. more pre-
cious. But ruby crystals lin the roughly
are rarely more than half an inch long,
whereas those Of sapphire occasionally
reach three inches. Most priced are
the "velvet blue" sapphire and those
Of "cornfower" tint.
One Of the most famous gems Of
this variety is the wooden spoon. sap
phire," which gets its name from the
circumstance that 1t was picked up by
Ceylonese dealers in wooden spoons,

Boy Saved by Rubber II eeiss

Lawrence Ramm's study Of electric!.

The other boys became frightened

Tearing off his rubber heels, he jam.
