UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Borneo is one Of the worlds large
islands. 1t does not equal Green
land or New Guinea in size, but it is
larger than the State of California
Borneo is land of heavy rainfall.
If the rain which falls in an average
year stayed above the ground, it
would flood the island to a depth of
~ feet.
Happily the rain sinks into the
rich black soil. Along with the SUM-
shine and the soil, it makes plants
grow well, and produces one of the
thick jungles of the torrid zone.
Many of the brown skinned people
IN Borneo are known as "Dyaks."
They live away from the coast, and
make their living mainly by farm
ing and hunting.
The Dyaks build homes which may
remind us of the old "long houses"
of the Iroquois Indians. A Dyak
house may hold three or four dozen
families.
Dyaks may speak of "a 30-door
house" or "a 5O-door house" This
is the same as saying that the
house is used by 80 or so families.
Each family has a special door by
which to enter. Some of the houses
are from 400 to 600 feet long!

Norbert Muller, a Swiss optician,

The glasses are secured to the dog S

band passing under the jaws. In a
test of dogs eyesight at Geneva a
dry bone was scrubbed and sus-
pended Is feet from the animal.
The dog did not make for it, and
the tester knew 1t was beyond his

Borneo also has odd flying ami
mails. These include flying foxes,
flying lizards and flying frogs. None
Of these has Tapping wings. The

place down to low place.
Among the other animals are the
so-called "tiger-cats." They are not
tigers-this island has no tigers.

Borneo birds are of families well
known on our continent-crows,
pigeons, woodpeckers and owls.

Billy Mink was sitting on top Of

saw the Fur Hunters Son. Billy
Mink dived head first into the Smil-

Jerry. Together they hunted up
Little Joe Otter and then the three
little scamps in brown hid In the

Some Americans, fortunately few
