Investigation Carried On in Dutch
New Guinea Besults in Discov

STILL LIVE IN THE STONE AGE
fOorrwapondencci of the Associated rress.)
THE HAGUE, Netherlands. Aug. 27 Re
ports of Dutch colonial expeditions, which
have recently completed the preliminary
exploration of Dutch New Guinea, bring
to light many stories of remarkable
feats of endurance and discovery. For
about seven year officers of the Dutch
colonial army, with European and native
soldiers and coolies, have been making a
lomplete map of the colony and this work
la now finished.
Dutch New Guinea Is about fourteen
times as large as the Netherlands and
was settled by a few Dutchmen as long
go as 1828, but was only officially recog
nized as & colony lathe last century. It
comprises the greater part of the Island
of Papua, In the South Fees.
In the course of the map work, which
was attended by great difficulties and
some loss of life, all the members of the
expeditionary force underwent severe pri
vations and suffered considerable sick
ness. Their lives were In danger from
hostile natives aa they passed up un
known rivers and cut their way through
almost Impenetrable virgin bush, or
clambered high mountains covered with
eternal snow and never before ascended
by white men.
Natives Most PrlmltlT.
The country was found to be fairly
thickly populated In some parts and the
natives In the Interior were among the
most primitive In the world. Many of them
had never before come Into contact with
white men and fled at their approach,
so that the exporera In some instances
could not obtain data as to their customs,
language or mcde of living. Nearly all
were found to be In their absolute natural
state and without clothing. The grown
men's noses were pierced with bamboo
canes and it appeared that this was tlont.
with great ceremony after a certain age
had been attained. Amid feasting and
dancing, the first hole Is pierced with a
finely pointed sago thorn and the
aperture Is gradually enlarged In five
operations, until the requisite size has
been reached for the insertion of the cane,
which afterwards is never removed. Tho
women of some trtbes had a slight cover
ing consisting of a short tklrt of woven
leaves.
Some of the trlbles were actively hos
tile head-hunters and attacked the ex
plorers with bows and arrows and short
hardwood spears, whose points were
sometimes formed of bone. Others of the
natives were peacefully Inclined and will
ing In return for a few trinkets. to per
mit the explorers to make all the neces
sary observations without interference.
Houses Dalit in Trees.
The natives appear' to cling mostly to
the banks of the many rivers, where they
live In carefully constructed habitations
built In the trees or on piles twenty to
thirty feet high. In the. X-.terior, how
ever, many settlements Were found com
posed of substantial buildings supported
by thick tree . trunks and covered with
roofs of the large tried leaves of tropical
plants. In fact, several of the dwelling
were divided into various apartments
a large one In the center for the men and
boys, and separate ones for each woman.
In the' coastal lands the natives con
struct their huts, or rather arbors, In a
long line like a street, each habitation
supported by the next one. Many of the
coast people had previously become ao
qualnted with white men who had come
to hunt 'birds of paradise and they also
knew that money was valuable.
The knowledge of metals among the
natives Is very limited and their cutting
tools are stone axes and flint cltsels. With
these some of the tribesmen managed to
carve ornaments on their pirogues or
canoes, their oars and little figures for
the adornment of their habitations.
Some kind of superstltlus belief Is pre
valent In the Interior, for each habitation
In the settlements has Its own god, usually
in the shape of a huge turtle shell, on
which is stuck a fish head.
Hunters and Fishers.
Hunting and fishing are the main occu
pations of the natives, but In the In
terior many of Uie habitants are sur
rounded by patches for the cultivation of
root-crops and sugar cane, whictl with
fish and sago form the main food of the
people, who are very fond of lobsters and
mussels, which are plentiful.
Everywhere the country Is Infested with
snakes and the rivers swarm with alli
gators, but animals are not numerous and
comprise chiefly dogs, tame and wild
hogs, and kangaroos and other marsup
ials, as well as many rats.
The conformation of the country varies
from low-lying marshlands, pregnant with
fever, to high, healthy plateaus and
mountains, such as the Wilholmlna peak,
which was climbed by two Dutch officers
and found to measure about 16,275 feet,
nearly as high as Mount Blanc
Several of the rivers flow very swiftly
and are full of rapids and falls, so that
the members of the detachments Into
which the exploring force was divided
had often to drag or carry their motor
boat and native pirogues over land for
long dlstancts.
The collections made by the explorers
are very valuable In connection with the
ethnography, zoology, botany and
geology of the Island colony, and It Is
generally expected that the exploitation
of the natural resources of the Island
will speedily follow the report of the mili
tary pioneers of civilization who have now
ended their work.
Rose Jars.
A pretty ornament, and at the same
time thin of joy, Is a rose Jar. Uach
girl ought to Have one In her own room,
and any girl can make one. Handsome
ma be ko"" I" almost any fanoy
goods store, but any non-porous Jar will
answer the purpose, and Its vgllness can
oe concealed by numerous devices. The
oest way to make a potpourri for the Jar
is to put nothing In the Jar hut leaves
and salt. Alternate the layers or rose
.V.e".van Pr"'n the salt down
upon tfce rose leaves.
When the scent becomes evident, ths
leaves of any other fraamnt flower may
be added such as violet, heliotrope,
lemon, verbena or even geranium leaves.
A Jar Hlled In this way will remain a
well of dfllcous perfume for many
months flooding the apartment when
ever the IIJ Is removed.

THREE PERFECT BABIES AND SOME OTHERS THAT WON PRIZES AT THE NEBRASKA STATE FAIR The
judges found three 100 per cent babies in the number presented for inspection at the Nebraska State Fair at Lincoln on
Friday, and one almost so. William Bismarck Thomas of Nelson, Horace Gregg Armitage of Kearney and Elizabeth
Martha Webster of Havelock were rated at 100 per cent; Virginia Louise Fuller of Lincoln was scored at 99.5 per cent.
The nearest perfect pair of twins, who were awarded first honor, were Julius and Elizabeth Wilson of Broken Bow, and
Waldman Klatt of Ohio was given first honor in the rural class.

Bundle of Nerves is Billy Sunday
and They Keep Him on the Move
"Btnjr" Sunday on the platform doesn't'
strlka ons as being; a nervous man. Ths
preponderant Impression is that hs Is a
vigorous man vlgftr, vim, perfect trim.
A blind man could tell that he Is vigor
ous. A deaf and dumb man could see It
as he dashes from side to side, smites the
pulpit mighty whacks with his fist,
stamps with his foot, whirls around,
takes off his coat lie never stands still
one second after he gets started.
Later on he will tear his collar off. He
will take the wooden chair on the plat
form and smash its legs. Ho will climb
up one of the posts that support ths
roof of the tabernacle. At Irast ho has
done these "stunts" in other cities.
But "Billy" Sunday is a nervous man.
He is at ttprht tension continually. Ho
spends all the time when ho Isn't preach,
ing, all the time he possibly can in bed.
Just conserving his energies. He rocetres
distinguished visitors in bed. Mrs. Sun
day usually brings his breakfast to him
in bed. Every ounce of energy la held in
reserve for the big moments whea ho
must be at his best for his chosen work.
Those who sit near the platform, as do
the newspaper men, can see that ho Is
nervous. On Tuesday someone was
pounding with a hammer just outaldo the
building. He stopped Instantly in his ser
mon and looked In ths direction whence
came the noise. Rev. Dr. Welsh rushed
wildly out and the pounding stopped.
Then "Billy proceeded.
gmethlr,f on tho Roof.
Another time something rolled down the
roof of tho tabernacle. It sounded like a
rock. "Billy" stopped sgaln till tho noise
had ceased. He chuckled grimly and
said, "If somebody wants to sleep in the
cooler Just let 'em keep on."
At one meeting a man came walking
op the alxle and passed In front of the
platform while Billy" was preaching.
Dr. Welsh saw the intruder too late.
"Billy" stopped his sermon and looked at
tho man. "Just sit down here, brother,
don't disturb tho meeting," he said and
then rushed on again with his discourse.
Little mannerisms of the evangpll.it on
tho platform aside from his gymustlns
Include holding his handkerchief In his
two hands so that It hangs down by two
corners, as though ho was trying to dry
It He wipes tho perspiration frpm the
lower part of his face, but never from his
forehead. It comes too fast there and he
just lets It drip off.
Maybe Counts Aadlenec.
During the song servtoe preceding his
sermon ho stands up, gripping his pulpit
and looking out over tho audience and his
Hps move continually. Ho may bo count
ing th audience, or praying, or talking
to himself.
Ho is always faultlessly dressed. His
trousers are freshly pressed and and his
ooat. of light-weight but rich material
fits him to perfection. Ho doesn't wear
a vest His low shoes are always per
fectly polished. Ho has a considerable
wardrobe and probably a suit doesn't go
through more than two or three sermons
without a visit to tho cleaners slnoo ho
usually sweats tho coat through each
tlmo ho preaches. Ho has already worn
a blue sorgo suit, a dark grey suit a light
gray suit and a dark suit with light
pin stripes. Ho also has worn a Palm
Beach suit hut not at at tabernacle
service. .
The suits are all out tn tho samo stylo,
neat, businesslike, perfectly fitting, no
cuffs on the trousers, all have patch
pockets on the coats. They look ss
though "Billy" had tho tailor take hi
measurements and then selected ten or a
dozen patterns and had them all made up
at once.
