ther Stoetzner, famous German ORR
entalist, who recently returned from
an expedition to Korea and North Man
churia, has reported the discovery OF
a heretofore unknown primitive re-
ligion, a native Manchurian Shaman-
istic cult resembling the Shamanism

Collects Much Data.
From here and from Manchuria he
brought back chronological and geologi-
cal specimens and data, much of which
he has presented to the Dresden
Museum.
Arnur and Nonni Rivers, accompanied
him throughout his journey. Together
they traverSed q wild North Manchu-
rian region some 900 miles wide, of
which little has hitherto been known
to Westerners.
They found a rough. hilly, Sparsely
wooded country, with wide stretches OF
open grass lands and valleys. IL was
inhabited by three great tribes OF the
Tunguse race, the Solones, the Birares
and the Manegirians.
Far Behind Times.
'These people are far behind the
times" said Prof. StoetZner Fishing
and hunting with the most primitive
weapons are their only occupations"
Prof. Stoetzner, who sold his estate
of Felsengrund, near here, in order to
finance his expedition, has now settled
in this city and expects shortly to pub
lish a detailed account Of his adven-
lures and explorations under the title
