TROPICAL TOPICS

Whatever may be said or written to
the contrary, most persons who have
lived in the lands between the tropics of
Cancer and Capricorn know there is more
than idle words to the phrase The Call
OF the Tropics" Old timers always tell
the newcomers in the Philippines. the
first year it's novel; the second it's hell;
and the third its home. In the Hawaiian
islands they say that give a white man
ooe year there and he'll always return.
Much the same is true of Africa, South
America, Mexico, Porto Rico most any
place in the vicinity of the equator where
summer winter, spring and fall are all
merged into one season. Curse the tropics
as he will. the white man will be %irrlsis-
tably drawn back to the lands of the
Southern Cross, perhaps to a lonely isle
in the south seas, perhaps to a teeming
metropolis, but always to the tropics.
1t is impossible to define the Call of
The Tropics. Perhaps it is the lure of
adventure and new things, perhaps the
desire for the easy life which the tropical
lands afford in contrast to the hard, bitter
fight men must run in the North. Per-
haps it is the magic of the moonlight or
the suns fierce ray. Whatever it is,
it always draws the tropical dwell
err home. How many men have
you, tropical dwellers. known who
left the tropics for good, " only to see
them back again in two or three years?
Probably you yourself are planning to
clear OUT as soon as you can. But deep
down in your heart you must know that
sooner or later you'll be returning. You
can't avoid tits the Call of the Tropics.
Some thirty miles off the coast OF
Northern Luzon, the small island of
Kamagin offers a marvellous field for ad-
venture. Kamagin island is a miniature
volcano in constant semi activity. In
many places the soil is brittle and cracks
under foot into yawning assures where
spouts of steam and jets of molten rock
bubble to the surface. The .sea breaks
, 1927-02-21

on a beach where the sands are so hot
they steam, In the interior are large as
phalt lakes which connOt be exploited
because of the inaccessible %cOmmunica-
ton. The coast is bleak and rock bound.
There are no harbOrs. The channel run.
mig between northern LuZon and the
island is rough and stormy. In the in
terror of the island are large Jungles
which abound in birds and wild animals.
Deer is plentiful; huge wild cats roam
the glades; and snakes are everywhere.
The inhabitants of the island are a
handful of aborigines who live by hunt
ing and fishing. In many places there
are traces of an ancient civilization
tumblpd stone edifices, idols and bits Of
pottery which can be uncovered by eXca-
walton.
About eight years ago an English pros
pect0r made an important find on Kama
gin Island which threw a great deal of
light on the myths of Chinese pirates
who ravaged northern LuzOn in centuries
gone by. The prospectOr was walking
along the brink of one of the bubbling
sulphur lakes when he noticed what
seemed to be a cask imbedded in the
sand. With the help OF the natives he
dug it up and it proved to be a large
earthenware jug much like those of Ara
bian Nights fame. The top was sealed.
When he broke the seal he found the
body of a man inside in an excellent state
of preservation. However, he could not
see how the man ever got in, because the
neck of the jug was less than a foot in
diameter. The body inside was in a
seated position with the knees drawn up
to the chin. Apparently he had been
placed in that position and then the jug
nodded about him. The theory is that
