EASTER ISLAND A LAZY
MANS PARADISE.

New York.--If a daily train
were ever operated on Easter Is
land, 1900 miles of the coast Of
Chile, the natives newer would
get there at the station to see it
come in, according to Or. William
A. Bryan, professor of geology at
the University Of Hawaii, who ar
rived here on the steamer Santa
Teresa from South American
ports, after scientific exploration
Of the South Sea Islands.
! DR.. Bryan said the $50 natives
Of Easter Island are not energetic.
Neither are they curious, for when
his ship arrived there, the first
in Is months, it was greeted only
by one man, seated on box on
the pier, facing in the opposite d.
rection. He did not even look
around.
DR.. Bryan said he had obtained
evidence that Juan Fernandez Is
land, 400 miles off the coast Of
Chile, once was connected by land
with Hawaii, more than 5000
miles away. He said shell growth
on both were identical.
