PYGMIES AVERAGE FIVE FEET
Wherever Found, They Possess Ger
tain Striking Rssshnhlanees-
Neglect Agriculture.

There are certain popular errors
concerning the race Of undersiged
men and women known as pygrnies.
Usually travellers have measured the
most dlmlnutive specimens, and thus
an exaggerated idea of their sfhallheha
has been produced.
The average stature of the pygmies
that have been measured Is about four
feet eight inches, but the best author
tiles in anthropology say that the real
average limit of stature Is Ave feet.
Some are taller than that.
The pygmles have been found in
eight or ten different places In Central
Africa, but wherever found thy pos
sess certain striking resemblahces.
The plant furnishing the covering
for their huts Is the same In the wide
ly separated regions visited by Stan.
Icy and others, and the shape OF the
huts, rough hemisphere, is the same.
ALL the pygmles are alike character
tied by neglect of agriculture by the

New Guinea is rough country to

without even path other than the

Of vegetation that covers the greater

thing to travel through the jungle,
for everything you are likely to wear,
eat and use In the trip must be car.
ried with you on the backs Of your
native porters; the Jungle Is 4nnocent
Of even the poorest sort Of store or

too, and moderate estimate for the
cost Of tour inland by two white

less than $500 month. The lonely

MODERN MEDICINE VS.. QUACKS

Is always opposed to new methods Of
treatment. There Is no galnsaylng the
fact that ancient and medieval medi-
cine was narrow and ecclesiastical In
Its attitude. At that time medicine
was not science, but more or less
imperfect art. It attracted, 1t Is true,
many brilliant minds, but 1t also had
In Its ranks a large preponderance of
mystics and charlatans.
What we know today as the science
Of medicine is Of recent growth. The
application of modern scientific meth.

as far-reaching In their scope as any

endeavor. Moreover, by employing the
methods Of the Twentieth century
both to the study Of medicine and to
the organization of the medical profess

become the exception instead Of the
rulo In medicine. The modern medical
