KILL OWN CHILDREN AT BIRTH
Arioi Of Tahiti Look Upon Attempt Of
One Of Their Order to Raise
Child as Sin.

Lovers OF laughter song. music,
flowers and birds, the Ariol of Tahiti
killed their own children at birth, and
looked upon the attempt Of a member
of their order to rear a child as a
sin. While religious causes were
given for this by the leaders and, no
doubt, believed in, the real cause,
Frederick O'Brien tells in the Century,
was a natural one whereby the species.
TO prevent over-population Of the
South sea island, destroyed its own.
With perfect health and no enemies,
the island would soon have had a hard
time finding food.
The Arioi were wandering minstrels,
actors, priests and wonder workers to
which belonged both men and women.
The natives Of Tahiti who have es-
capped the blight Of civilization are
living proofs that at one time the race
was one Of the most beautiful in the
worlds history. while investigators
declare that arts and civilization were
brought to a high plane hundreds Of
years age.
