 There are 140 persons on the is- land which is nearly double the pop .ulation of twenty years ago, and this flood supply has run short. The is land is located in the middle of the Atlantic on a line between the Cape .of Good Hope and Buenos Aires, 1t lis nly two miles long and adjoins two or three other smaller volcanic islands.

Iman and his silence in stalking game or making war do not explain the labsence of profanity from the tongue, Dr. Ashley declares.
 The Indian is not a stoic when you come to know him. and perhaps
 he substituted blood-curdling yells for other vocal methods of easing his pent up feelings" There is no word or expression in the Sioux tongue even to convey the damning of an enemy A flick of the middle finger, resembling the snapping of an arrow and denoting scorn, is the ultimate in condemna- tory gestures.
