Investigation Carried On in Dutch
New Guinea Results in Discov
ery of Strange Race.
STILL LIVE IN THE STONE AGE
COorrespondence of the Associated Press.)
THE HAGUE, Netherlands. Aug. ZT He
port of Dutch colonial expeditions, which
bar recently completed the preliminary
exploration of Dutch New Guinea, bring
to light many etorlea of remarkable
feats of endurance and discovery. For
about seven years officers of tha Dutch
colonial army, with European and nstlvo
soldiers and coolies, have been making a
tomplete map of th colony and this) work
Is 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 wa only officially recog
nized as a colony lathe last century. It
comprises the greater part of the Island
of Fapua, in the South Seas. '
la 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 "as they pawed up un
known rivers and cut their way through
almost Impenetrable virgin bush, or
olanr jered high mountains covered with
eternal snow and never before ascended
by white men.
Natives Most Primitive.
Tha country was found to be fairly
thickly1 populated in some parts and the
natives In the Interior were among the
inoat primitive in the world. Many of them
had never before come into contact with
white men and fled at their approach,
so that the exporers 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
canea and it appeared that this was done
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 la gradually enlarged in five
operations, until the requisite size has
been reached for the insertion of the cane,
which afterwards Is never removed. The
women of some tribes had a slight cover
ing consisting of a short tkirt of woven
leaves.
Borne of the trlbles were actively hos
tile head-hunters and attacked the ex
plorers with bows and arrows and ehort
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,
Honars Built 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. tasX'.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 dwellings
were divided into various apartments
a large one in the center for the men and
boys, and separate ones for eaah 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 ac
quainted with white men who had coins
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 clisels. With
these some of the tribesmen managed to
carve ornaments on their pirogues or
canoes, their oars and little figures for
(he 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 ooou
. pations of the natives, but In the In
terior many of the habitants are sur
rounded by patches for the cultivation of
root-crops and sugar cane, whlA 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 Wllhelmlna 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 ars full of rapids and falls, so that
the members of the detachments Into
which the ex-ploring 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 oolony, 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 a thing of joy. Is a rose Jar. Each
girl ought to Have one In her own room,
and any girl can make one. Handsome

he concealed by numerous devices. The
best way to make a potpourri for the Jar
ts to put nothing In the Jar hut leaves
and salt Alternate the layers of rose
leaves and salt, pressing the salt down
upon tfce rose leaves.
When the scent becomes evident, the
leave of any other fragrant flower may
be added, such as violet, heliotrope,
lemon, verbena or even geranium leaves.
A Jar fniM in this way will remain a
well of delicious perfume for many
months flooding th apartment when
ever the lid la 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

"Biny Sunday on the platform doesn't'
strike one as being a nervous roan. The
preponderant Impression is that he Is a
vigorous man vigor, 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 aide 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. Ha
will take the wooden chair on the plat
form and smash Its legs. He will climb
up one of the posts that support the
roof of the tabernacle. At least he has
done these "stunts" In other cities.
But "Billy" Sunday Is a nervous man.
He Is at tight tension continually. He
spends all the time when he Isn't preach
ing, all the time he possibly can In bed.
Just conserving his energies. He receives
distinguished visitors In bed. Mrs. Sun
day usually brings his breakfast to htm
In bed. Every ounce of energy la held In
reserve for the big moments when he
must be at his best for his chosen work.
Those who sit near the platform, as do
the newspaper men. can see that he Is
nervous. On Tuesday someone was
pounding with a hammer Just outside the
building. He stopped Instantly In his ser
mon and looked in the direction whence
came the noise. Rev. Dr. Welsh rushed
wildly out and the pounding stopped.
Then "Billy proceeded.
aomrlhlrs on the Roof.
Another time something rolled down the
roof of the tabernacle. It sounded like a
rock. "Billy" stopped again till the 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

Billy Sunday
Him on the Move
platform while "Billy" was preaching.
Dr. Welsh saw the Intruder too late.
"Billy" stopped his sermon and looked at
the man. "Just sit down here, brother,
don't disturb the meeting," he said and
then rushed on again with his discourse.
Little mannerisms of the evangelist on
the platform aside from his symustlcs
include holding his handkerchief in his
two hands so that it hangs down by two
corners, as though he was trying to dry
It. He wipes the perspiration from 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 Andtenee.
During the song service preceding his
sermon he stands up, gripping his pulpit
and looking out over the audience and his
Hps move continually. He may be count
ing the audience, or praying, or talking
to himself.
He Is always faultlessly dressed. His
trousers are freshly pressed and and his
coat, of light-weight, but rich material
fits him to perfection. He doesn't wear
a rest His low shoes are always per
fectly polished. He has a considerable
wardrobe and probably a suit doesn't go
through more than two or three sermons
without a visit to the cleaners since he
usually sweats the coat through each
time he preaches. He has already worn
a blue serge suit, dark grey suit, a light
grey suit and dark suit with light
pin stripes. He also has worn a Palm
IJeach suit, but not at at tabernacle
service. .
The suits are all out m the same style.
neat, DUslnessilke, perfectly fitting, no
cuffs on the trousers, all have patch
pockets on the coats. They look as
though "Billy" had the tailor take hi
measurements and then selected ten or a
dozen patterns and had them all made np
at once.
