Lowest Human Type


The aboriginal Jungle Dwarfs OF
Malay are said to be she lowest order
Of human beings, not excepting the
African Bushmen and pigmies. They
live in the heart of the jungle and
are in constant, fear of the Malay
natives who sometimes hunt them
and make slaves of them.
The dwarfs are known as "Orang
utan tuans" and while they are very
small they are very powerful and
when they are enslaved by the Malays
they are compelled to work very hard.
The Malay will do nothing in the line
of work if he can possibly avoid 1t.
If he has one of these slaves he Will
do positively nothing.
The dwarfs are in deadly fear OF
the Malays and yet they do consid-
cradle trading with them. This Is
the way 1t is conducted: The Malays
will leave a parcel of salt or some
other desired commodity at spot
near the edge of the jungle and upon
the next morning the salt has dis
appeared, but in its place Is found
some product Of the Jungle, such as
gutta percha, damar or piece or a
rare and beautiful wood which grows
il: the densest parts of the forest
where most persons could never find
it.
These little people have very long
arms, square feet with a peculiar toe
formation which enables them to
make use of their feet for more
purposes than walking.A small piece
of cloth fills the place of a whole
wardrobe for these people.

Diamond Eaets

Twenty-Five percent of them only
are pure white
Are very dull looking stones before
they are turned into brilliants.
Flaws are often hidden in fancy
settings.
The cutting of a diamond is a
tremendous factor in the price. Poor
cutting may rob the stone Of half its
lustre.
From the rough 1t looks like an
angular piece of glass smeared with
oil.
From the rough to the wearer is a
long tedious process requiring a
superlative degree Of skill.
After mining they go to the sorter,
whose experienced eyes detect cut
ting possibilities at once.
Those stones which are too deeply
colored to be available for jewelry
are most valuable in preparing their
more perfect sisters for the market.
Most Of the polishing Is done in
Holland, especially Amsterdam, al
though the American industry is
growing.
The same tools are used in cutting
as were in use in 1475. The worker
depends largely on his delicate touch.
In the course Of its dressing 1t
experiences a plunge, while hot, into
cold water, a treatment which would
shatter other stones.
The facet to be cut Off is marked
with a scratch and then given sharp
blow.
The properly cut diamond has s.
facets.

British Golfers
Defeat Hagen and
Smith at Oxhey, Eng.

Oxhey, Eng, July Icy A. P.)
George Duncan and Abe Mitchell.
British Professional golfers today
defeated Walter Hagen and Mac
Donald Smith, American profession
ais four up and two to play in their
u hole match for q purse of $500
and International foursome honors.
The play today was fairly even in
the early stages. Hagen had bad
luck on the third green when a 20
yard putt stopped ON the lip Of the
cup. At the sixth Duncan's ball
similarly hung on the lips. All the
holes were even up to the eighth
when the Americans won by fine
putting after Hagen's second had
found a bunker. The American pair
likewise took the ninth by superior
work on the green.
With half the afternoon round
completed, SO holes played and only
nine to 90. the British pair were two
up on Hagen and Smith.
The Britains were fortunate in
halving the 10th. as Hagen and
Smith just failed to hole puts for
the win. At the 18th Smith drove
two balls out of bounds and left the
issue in Hagen's hands, but Walter
missed a two-yarder and the hole
was halved. Hagen and Smith were
both bunkered at the 18th. Hagen
failed to sink a three yard putt and
the Britons won the hole and were
three up.

The management of the London
Geological Garden go to some con-
siderable extent to make the institu-
ton attractive from popular stand
point and a great variety of exhibit
lions and demonstrations are arrang-
ed to attract the people other than
those profoundly interested in the
exhibits from purely scientific
character. Butterflies seem to be a
very popular subject and heretofore
it has been possible to make displays
Of live butterflies only at certain
seasons of the year. This has been
changed, however, and at the present
time there is to be seen a collection
of rare and beautiful butterflies at all
times. These insects are collected
III the season when they are to be
found and placed in a refrigerator
where they are kept in a dormant
state to prevent their alternating at
times when the public may be want
ing to examine them. AS they are
wanted they are taken from storage
and placed in case with flowers that
have been sprayed with honey. Uu-
der the action of warmth and light
the insects soon assume their normal
activity and a display is thus made
UoSSible.

Chinese Invented Movies

Somebody delving through the
archaeological specimens of China has
discovered that the Celestials were
the originators Of the movies and.
more than that, they had their
movies some little time before the
Christian era.
1t Is true that they were not exactly
the same as the movies of the pre-
sent time, but they had practically
the same idea in their minds.
With infinite patience the Chinese
artist painted hundreds of little pic
lures of a progressive character on a
long strip Of paper, which was drawn
out of box and viewed through a
slit or eye-port and the illusion was
that of moving figures soing through
the parts of a play, on some other
similar performance Of an amusing
nature.
In securing the desired effects they
made use Of many Of the tricks and
deceits which are in vogue today in
the film studios. They also had a
somewhat similar device in which
cutout pictures were strung on a
long cord and shown consecutively.

PATRIOTISM" THE
SUBJECT OF talk
BEFORE ROTARY CLUB

The final evening meeting for the
season OF the Rotary Club held at
the Augusta House, Friday evening
was one of the most interesting and
enthusiastic of the early summer
series with a speaker who had a
stirring message on "Patriotism.'
which lifted his hearers with him
to heights Of fervor.
Rev. John Mark of the Fall River.
Massachusetts,, Rotary Club was the
special speaker at the session last
evening and his talk was most in
spirational. The large number OF
Rotarians and guests privileged to
hear him declared that Mr.. Marks
address was one of the most forceful
which has ever been presented be-
fore the local club.
The speaker made frequent ref
erence to the poets and authors of
all countries and quoted freely from
the writings of Shakespeare, Words
worth. Burns, Tennyson, Moore.
Lowell. and Samuel Freeman Smith.
Any attempt to make an abstract OF
the address would but destroy the
consumate beauty of the whole.
Rev. Mr.. Mark divided his talk to
include three types of patriots. The
first type which he described was the
man who maintains q sentimental
attitude toward his country. Right
or wrong. in this mans conception
his country can never be other than
right. The second group was the
hysterical persons who wave the
flag and glorify their country with
exaggerated platitudes. For his third
division OF patriots, the speaker
named his ideal. which was the man
who was conscious of his country's
weaknesses and faults as well as its
greatness and strength.
He declared that fundamentally
patriotism was love of country. A
patriot can best serve his country by
devoting himself to the betterment
of conditions for the good Of all.
Faith in God should be the back
bone of patriotism" was Mr.. Marks
declaration. 1T was the foundation
on which the forefathers and pion-
GERS of America built. Patriotism is
a sacred fire which bursts into fame
whenever the country may be- In
danger. but 1t finds It's expression
the home. the Office, the factory and
at the ballot box as WELL"
President Arthur N. Soule ex-
pressed the appreciation OF the
members Of the club to Rev. MIR.
Mark for his splendid message. The
Augusta club was favored last ev-
ening by an informal visitation from
Governor Herbert Libby of the new
ly formed Sth Rotary District. The
next regular meeting will be held
on Friday, July Is and will be the
first of the summer series of noon
meetings.

Tombs Furnish Tiles

The natives of the Bering sea coast
are up in arms at the dissertation of
the tombs which have been discovered
lately in the search for walrus ivory
wanted for the manufacture of nah
jong tiles.
Fifty walrus heads were taken from
the tomb of famous Arctic chieftain
representing half a century Of tri-
umphs, these trophies. according to
the traditions. should remain in the
tombs with the hero, but the ivory
buyers of the country had no rever-
ence for the dead and took away the
sc heads, which was a great find.
These heads were particularly valu-
sble for the reason that they were
very large and the tusks were Of
corresponding size.
The first walruses to land on the
rock in the season were always the
largest bulls and this particular
chieftain underwent great hardships
in 'order to get these bulls. He got
one every year of his hunting life.
From the standpoint of the ivory
buyers these were good for great
number Of nah jong tets.

a country auction with his father and
older brother. The little chap did not
say much during the morning. being
too interested in the strange things
about him: and at noon, being very
hungry, the bountiful lunch which
his mother had packed for them
claimed his attention. But even
hungry little boys have q limit. He
had almost gone the round Of the
lunch basket, but there remained for
him a great piece Of chocolate cake.
He took the cake and like most small
boys began at the frosting. When
that was gone the cake assumed pro-
portions far beyond his capacity.
After gazing a moment at the now
unattractive cake. he turned beseech-
ingiy to his brother and holding out
the cake asked. How much am
offered for thith pieth OF cake7"
His brother, with eight year-old
superiority. answered. Nothing"
Thold," said Charles. and solemnly
passed che defrosted cake to his
brothers plate.
