Yesterday we were speaking about
the people of the Island of Tas-
mania, south of Australia. They
belonged to race which has died
out, but We have records of their
customs.
The Tasmanians did not know
how to make clay dishes, and had
no way of boiling water. When
they cooked meat, they placed it
over an open fire or else placed it
In an oven of a crude sort.
Today We may see what is left
Of some of the early ovens They
were holes in the ground from 3 to
feet deep. Some of them were
from 10 to rs feet wide!
A great deal of meat could be
placed in such an oven to be roasted.
Opossums, as well as kangaroos,
were slain for food. Snakes and
lizards were other animals eaten
by these people.
The early Tasmanians seem to
have known how to make fire by
rubbing wood against wood. They
did not enjoy the task, however,
and took pains to make q bonfire
last as long as possible Day and
night they would add new fuel.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When they went on journeys,
they carried burning sticks for use
in starting a fire. This custom
may remind us OF the "flrebrand
Indians" described by Spaniards
who explored the Southwestern part
of the United States four centu-
ries ago.
The people of Tasmania seem to
have been friendly to the whites
who first settled on their island,
but quarrels arose as the years
went by. Both the whites and the
blacks made attacks on villages.
Another trouble was disease. The
natives fell sick with certain kinds
of illness which had not been known
in Tasmania before the white
settlers came. Such illness took 4
heavy toll.
In an effort to save the Tasma-
nian race, the British government
provided a reservation for the few
hundred still alive. Tie last full
blooded Tasmanian man died in
1865, the last woman in 1876.
