Delve Into Secrets of
Island of Madagascar

\ great deal of mystery surrounds
the picturesque island of Madagascar.
1t appears TO be the lumber room of
an old continent, but which. or per-
haps better. where is the continent,
asks correspondent: "Some think
that Madagascar has broken away
from its mother continent, Africa;
Others that it is one of the relics of
hypothetical continent, Lemuria,'
which existed long ago in the Indian
ocean between Africa and India" This
is not, as the casual reader might
think, passage from some romance
of the lost lands of the world. 1t is
merely an extract from an official
document, circulated by the British
museum to call attention to the fact
that an expedition is now at work in
Madagascar seeking the solution of
some of its riddles. 1t is not then, be.
yond the bounds of possibility that the
scientists may yet send the world
authentic tidings of a lost continent.

ones in short, small bundles
Another peculiarly of the papaw is
that the juice of the plants contains
