Excavators Search Ruins for Rel
les of Ancient Worship.
Temples Whers Human Sacrifices
Were Offered Destroyed by Mis-
sjonaries Centuries Ago.

Papeete. Tahiti.-The ancient lore
Of Tahiti is to be resurrected and the
ruins of the temples Of the South Pa
cific islanders. ordered destroyed a
century ago by Christian mission
aries, are to be uncovered by excava-
ton.
Efforts to gather the relics of for
gotten worship are being vigorously
prosecuted here.
So completely were the wishes OF
the missionaries carried out that moth
ing remains save traces of the founda-
tions Of the great central temple of
Marae at Atehurn, on Tahiti island.
where human sacrifices were offered
to the bloodthirsty god of war. "Oro." "
Excavations are expected to bring
to light some interesting objects,
which. IT is hoped. will reveal the pur-
poses and uses Of this ancient struc-
ture.
Marae. while being the chief temple
of Tahiti, was not the oldest or the
most important In the islands. The
temple at Opoa. traces Of which still
remain on the island Of Raintea. was

One such project is that of building a

which would utilize the variation in

gestion is to build a new Industrial

In this connection the National Geo

Washington headquarters, the follow
ing announcement, based on a commu-
nicatlon to the society by John D.
Whiting:
THE present-day villages are lOcat-
ed. as a rule, either on the top of
hills. originally for protection, or near
some spring or source of water. Many
are built upon the foundations whose
origin dates back thousands of years.
There does not exist a single example
of peasant village that has been
founded in modern times.

from this had been Incorporated in

at Tahiti become consecrated.
1t was at Marae that Captain Cook
witnessed the ceremonies Of human

The natives. while protesting Chris
tlanity and manifesting 1t by most ac-
tive church attendance, have a deep
fear of these places. Under no cir
cumstances will they approach these
temples at night, nor venture near
them by day without great trepida-

Where Bugs Hibernate.
The bureau Of entomology Offers the
following information: The chinch
bugs spend the winter In clumps Of
bunch grass and under dead leaves
and rubbish. In the spring they
emerge and fly to fields of young
wheat. where they lay their eggs on
the root tops and stems. When the
wheat commences to ripen and dry.
the young bugs leave the wheat fields
in armies and walk-for most Of them
cannot fy-to the cOrnfields, where
they do the greatest damage.
The fact that they make the migra-
ton from the wheat to the corn by
walking gives the farmer his oppor-
tunity to check the invasion by pour
ing road oil along the bottom of a
shallow furrow dug across the line Of
march. Deep holes should be dug
every 25 feet along the furrow on the
side nearest the wheat to trap the
bugs.

Lacking Essential Can Be Overcome

1t is necessary to have good venti-
lation If food and vegetables are to be
kept safely in storage. In many cell
lars under dwellings the lack Of venti-
latiOn is the only essential that Is
lacking. However, this can usually be
easily overcome by providing an air
duct constructed Of wood, metal or
terra Gotta, which. fitted in one of the
windows, Is desirable, as 1t permits
the cool air to enter at the bottom of
the room. Two or more joints of e.
inch stovepipe, one with damper,
and an elbow may be used. A piece
OF board with hole the size Of the
pipe is fitted in the window in place
of one Of the panes Of glass. Another

saler, and Bethlehem, for that will
give US better idea Of what happened
on that first Christmas day.
THE village streets are crooked,
narrow and unpaved. AS in many Of
the countries Of the Orient, farmers
live close together for protection. and
not on their lands; therefore. In the
villages there are no open fields or gar
dens, but house Is next to house, ex-
cept for the small walled-in Enclosures
or sheepfolds through which one gen.
orally passes in going into dwelling.
'The house itself consists of one
large room, usually square. The walls.
from three to four feet thick, are built
Of blocks of stone roughly dressed and
laid in mortar rooted over with a
dome. also of stone.
Entering the door. we find that about
two-thirds of the space is devoted to
raised masonry platform. some eight
to ten feet above the ground and sup
ported by low-domed arches. This
raised space, called el mastaby, is the
part occupied by the family, while the
lower part is used for the cattle and
flocks.

covers part of the fiooi, and mattresses

It was hardly in evidence in the SOW
