London.-Miss Beatrice Grimshaw,
the well known novelist, who has been
Is years in the South Sea Islands. has
returned from New Guinea. As an
Indication of the wilderness and the
unknown character Of the vast tracts
of territory comprising that country
she mentioned that quite recently the
missionaries, with the aid of airplanes,
had discovered a valley containing 10.-
600 people whose existence had not
even been suspected. They were found
to be living at an altitude where 1t
was imagined that human life could
not endure. She had a wonderful sto-
ry to tell of her experiences. To a
representative of the Evening Standard
she said:
New Guinea is one of the most
noteworthy countries in the world,
and a great deal of it has never been
explored by white people. Within a
certain distance the government has
done a great deal, but there r
stretches in which cannibal tribes live
to themselves. Many, however, are
induced to work on the plantations,
and the cannibals are certainly the fin
est native workers, because of their
physical development and their de-
meanor. But cannibalism fiourishes.
and the people who practice it do not
regard 1t as wrong. In the interior
cannibals live to themselves, and 1t Is
only when they come under British
jurisdiction that their c~annibalistic
tendencies are checked. One gets so
accustomed to this question of canni-
balism that 1t is accepted almost as n

They arrived none too soon Infiu-

they did get there in time to save
hundreds.
The Kilbucks took up their work
where they had left off upon tlyeir de-
parture for the States. They were
just whipping things into shape and
getting comfortably settled for the
last chapter of their lies book when

was dead.
1t was back in 1855 that John XII
buck and his white wife arrived in
Alaska. He had just graduated from
the Moravian Missionary school at
Nazareth, Pa, where he had been
sent by a Christian worker among
he Kansas Indians.
1t took years to gain the confidence
of the Alaska natives, but patience
and Kindness finally won and now no
name is better known or more beloved
among the Alaska Indians or Eskimos
than Kilbuck.

Gloom in the Far Northland Fol-
lows Death of Beloved Indian
Missionary.
WILL NOT FORGET HIS WORK
From Kansas to Arctic John Henry
kilbuck Carried the Gospel, Saw
Ing Lives and Winning Love
of Natives.

Juneat.-There is gloom among the
natives in Alaska today.
From Point Barrow-the farthest
north-to Metlaxatla and Juneau in
the south; from the headwaters of
the kuskokwim and Yukon down to
the sea, is travelling forth the word
that "kilbuck is dead" Everywhere
the news ~permeates. there follows sad
ness. Grown men and women among
the Eskimos and Indians grieve like
children All because the most loved
man beyond 54-40" is no more.
For more than four decades John
Harry Kilbuck, Muncie Indian of the
old Delaware nation that roamed over
Pennsylvania before the days of
Warrington n William Penn. had
beeo Intimately associated with the
klinkits and Takus of southeastern
Alaska, or the Eskimos and breed
tribes around loint Barrow. With
his paie-face wife he was guardian,
counselor. spiritual guide and friend.
VIII Not Forget Him.
But the country which John Kilbuck
played such an important part in de-
veloping will not forget him. The
thousands of reindeer that roam the
tundras under the watchful eye of
their native shepherds. will forever
remind the natives of him. 1t was
Kilbuck who. at the request of the
United States government, introduced
reindeer propagation in Alaska. and
by SO doing he banished the specter
of famine that periodically wiped out
entire tribes when the hard times
came and the winters closed In before
they were prepared.
AkJak and Bethel, both founded by
the Moravian missionary. some day
may grow into hourishIng cities when
Alaska ONE into its own. And they
viii cherish his memory.
Doings of missionaries. as a rule,
make rather tame reading. But the
wife were not confired to strictly spir-
itual things.
-Four different times did the XII.
bucks go below" with the intention
of spending their declining years in
the States. And four times they went
back. The call was irresistible.
The last time-it was to have been
different. With all the best intentions,
accentuated by memories of past fail.
ures to keep good resolutions-the
pioneer torchbearers of civilization re-
solved to spend their decllni , years
near the homes of their forefathers-
on the Chippewa Indian reservation
down in Kansas.
Deep down in their hearts, however,
they had a 'hunch" that the North
would win. 1t always had.
So the North Won Again.
In their little white and green cot
tage, nesting in the Chippewa hills
and overlooking the placid Marais des
Cygnes river In eastern Kansas the
Kilbucks were waiting. Waiting for
word that the breakup in the Yukon
and K~askokwim vas about to begin.
They had reached their decision.
They need us. The influenza has
reached Alaska. If it gets into the
interior before we do nobody knows
what will happen. Thousands may
perish. Their deer. now numbering
thousands, will be cast adrift over the

matter Of course. ! know the cookery
recipes now as to the best methods of
preparing human food.
Huge Stove Oven Used.
I'm one part of the country there Is
a stone oven six feet long dug into
a side of a hill foe the purpose Of
dealing with. the victims. The inhab-
itants of n village may attack an
other. The prisoners are tortured ter
ribly, and then eaten. One method Is
to take out their eyes and then roast
h body alive in the traditional three
legged caldron. The cannibals break
the bones and legs Of their victims be-
forehand sometimes. and then let the
body lie In a running stream, which
method, they believe. makes the meat
more tender. The odd feature of II
all is that the most determined canni-
balls are extremely well-mannered, and
In all other respects are the best work
ers you can find. AS to whether can
nibalism springs from the love of hui
man flesh or is merely a ritual one
cannot say. l think the cannibals real
ly like the human flesh. But you can
not get them to talk about it.
"Sorcery has u remarkable hold on
the people in this country, and the
occult powers that are displayed can
only be regarded by white people as
amusing. The natives even have d
sorcerers' university where natives are
taught for a period of two years.
Sorcerers a carry poisonous and
dangerous snakes in their hair, and
can train them to bite people, leaving
them loose in a house, and 1t is even
possible, 1t is said, to make a snake
bite a particular person. Equally ex-
tr%aordinary are the powers possessed
by conjurors.
81 believe these natives understand
hypnotism from end to end. They do
~table-turning with a sort of alligator
shaped image. They ask questions of
spirits, and see blue lights. This hap
pens in the Gulf country. The power
of hypnotism is used to an extent
that seems barely credible, but there
is ~noedoubt, to my mind, that certain
natives are believed to hypnotize
whole audiences, and they do 1t in
one instance by means of a dance of
the most peculiar character. 1 have
seen. this dance, and the extraordinary
effect of it. The performer apparently
dominates the whole of the room by
his actions. The effect of the dancing
is that hypnosis on a massed scale like
this can be induced in the wierdest
possible way.
Several people have tried to inves-
tigate the meaning Of the mind, but
they have not succeeded. 1t is quite
obvious that the natives are saturated
in %hypnotism as a result of the prac-
tice of many centuries, which enables
them to do all sorts of things that to
us are always inexplicable. I do moi
admire sp%iritualism or hypnotism, and
| am rather glad to find that 1t has its
roots among savases.
1.-THE position of women is deplor-
able. They are in effect slaves. Mar
riage is by purchase. and it Is usually
dependent on the nu,Gber of pigs that
can be offered by the bridegroom to
the brides parents. The pig, In fact,
is thought to be of very much more
value than the wife"

On cold days more fats and sugars

Coarse foods TO keep the alimentary

essential. No child can have a clear
