Queer Customs and Beliefs—Pro- tective Measures by the Government. Prof. Baldwin Spencer, who eines the death of his former col- laborator, F. J. Gilden, must b regarded as the first living autho ity on the Australian aborigine has arrived in London, England. Some idea of the difficulties Unto h faced the investigator in his inter- course with the aborigines may be gained from the fact that on this last journey he encountered some thirty different tribes, cath of them a separate and distinct lan- guage, which in no single naso has been reduced to writing. "The Australian native," Prof. Spencer explained to a London Daily News represontistive, "repre- sents the most primitive type of mankind surviving anywhere. In all its main aspects the life of these aboriginal tribes reflects ac- curately, so far as we can teal, the childhood of the human race. Wll:ile the rest of humanity has evolved ata faster or slower rate the Aus- tralian ie literally still in the Stone Age. He is a pure nomad, living on what he kills or on wild vege- tables and fruits and knowing no substance but stone as the materiel for his weapons and tools. He wears practically nothing and has no sheltor but rough lean-to cover- ings which he constructs out - of branches, and leaves behind him when he moves on." Marriage Custom and Religion. The family system, Mr. Spencer explained, is extraordinarily ccoreplicated. "There is first of all a class sys- tem," he said, "by which the tribe is divided into two halves, within which intermarriage is absolutely forbidden. On top of that is 'su- perimposed the totem system,, which adds further extensive restrictions. It is as if the tribe were first di- vided into Smiths and Joneses, every Mr. Smith being compelled to marry a Miss Jones. Then for totem reasons you got a further division under which a Mr. Elan - game South must marry only a Miss Watorhen Jones. Moro than that, every Miss Warterhen Jones is theoretieally the wife of every Mr. Kangaroo Smith, though as a mat- ter of fact in practice something like monogamy prevails." It is, after all, as Prof. Spencer remarked, a matter of custom, and one is not -altogether surprised to learn that by the aboriginal the liberty of the white man to choose his wife from wherever he will is reaarded as a grossly scandalous offence against every recognized law of morality. The religion of the native is also primitive. "Itis a debatable ques- tion," said Prof. Spenser, "whe- ther it should be called religion at all. They certainly believe they have power to control certain forces of nature. The kangaroo tortoni, for example, think they can increase the fertility of the kan- garoos, and the rain totem will pro- fess to produce rain, but of any be- lief in a higher power to 'which they can. appeal I !lass never seen a sign." • Soros of the men Prof. Spencer describes as being of anagnifioent physique, with figures like bronze seet es! thanks largely to the danc- ing which plays so large ,a pant in their totemietitr ritual. `i rnfortu nately, ho is very pessimistic as to the future of the Week, who is in- curably unpractical, irresponsible and incapable of work. Contact with Western civilization has al- reitdy involved terrible ravages from drink and disease. "The, only hope I see," said Profs Speaker, "is to segregate the nit^' ±Sues and to fry and educate the' oh•ilalren. ''The older people care ab- soletely inoapeble of instruction.

Speakng of the relations of the CommonwealthCononwealth Government with these primitive people Prof. Spee. cm' mitt thee, ono of the first things it did after taking ever the north-. erfl territory was to attempt to dealwith the aboriginal problem,. The eber.igines arc believed to nidi - ter about 40,000 or 00,000, The greet denger .is that if they toe in contact with white people, and especially with Asiatics, they not only become degraded, but dis- ease spreads rapidly among them„ The Commonwealth Government founded a Department of Aborigi- nal Affairs and appointed a chief protestor and four or five other protectors. "These people are extremely difficult to deal with because they are puro naiads and quite unac- customed to any kind of industry or agriculture," he said. "The problem is how to keep them from e coming into contact with a higher r- civilization, and yet to treat them fairly. "Australia has to get white peo- ple into the vast northern territory, winch is four and a half times as big as Great Britain, and has only one white person to every 450 equare nules. It is quite a mis- taken impression that this territory is a desert. It is very well watered, with great permanent rivers and any amount of food, so there is no reason why it should not sustain a prosperous population. Bat to eel: - tie it means taking land from the aborigines. "The only way of doing it is by the foal:nation of large reserves, so that tribes more or less allied in habits and customs can be segre- gated, and that is what I suggested to the Government. Already the Government has made one reserve on the northern coast, and appoint- ed protectors and superintendents and if that is a success it will be followed by the creation ef other reserves. An attempt will be made on these reserves to try to educate the natives, But whether they car be educated so as to become ueeful members of the community is a problem that remains to be solved "These reserves, at all events are neceeeary if they are not to be- come rapidly extinct. They have lir resisting power to some disease - which are comparatively harreles- te the white man. Even measles sweeps them away, and it is a strange thing that they have never become immune to malarial fever." k The Reason Why. How to "damn with faint praise," in characteristically Scottish fa- shion, is told in the following story. As it runs, a certain politician war playing golf on a Scottish course, when he remarked to his caddie. "By the way, the last time I was here, I played with 'tom McGregor. He'e a grand player!" "Ay," said the caddie, "but ye could beat Tam McGregor nos.',' Knowing what a skillful player Mearegor had shown himeel.f•to be, the politician was immensely pleas- ed at the caddie's compliment to his own improved play. "Do you think iso 2" he exclaimed, "Ay," casae the slow 'reply. "Tam McGregor's deid 1" L AFRAID TO EAT Girl Starving on Poorly Selected Food.

English Expedition Returns From Unexplored Wilds of kern. Captain J. Campbell Besley, of London, and three companions, ar- rived at New' York recently fresh from the unexplored wide of Peru, Brazil, and the upper waters of the Amazon, where they spent ten months. A narrative of the trip through the last unknown country of the world reads like a chapter of ancient explorers, There was the trail of the ill.. fated Cromer-Seljon exploration expedition, which resulted in the finding of the bones of Seljen and Patrick O'Higgins, devoured by cannibals. There was the discovery of three pre -Inca cities, abandoned ten thousand or twenty thousand years ago, but with evidence of marvellous architectural art still intact, wonderful animal utensils and weapons--oampi being an alloy of gold and silver, There was the discovery of a eity along the upper reaches of the Amazon, which was guarded by stone gates, weighing thousands of tons, still standing, where they had banked up the river with stone so that they could con- trol it, with fortifications rising tier on tier, as modern forts rise, each oommunieating with the other by subterranean passages. Discovered Deadly Fly. There were long rides over mountains 20,000 feet high with burros, llamas and horses, marches through jungles, the way of which had to be cut by machetes, a fight with bandits, running skirmishes with Indian tribes using poisoned arrows and old-fes'hionecl flintlock guns, and finally the finding of a road six feet wide through the jungle, paved and bordered with stone, fifteen hundred miles long, built by the prehistoric races when the world was young, according to other histories, and et last the dis- covery and investigation of a fly :nore deadly than the tsetse fly of Africa', the bite of which deposits a parasite whish destroys all skin `issue until death comes. Captain Bosley, Franklin B. Coates and J. IC. Holbrook, moving picture men, and J. W. Dunne, of London, a botanist, arrived on the =,s Byron from Barbadoes. They 'orad 'reached the British island from Para, Brazil, and they had arrived et Para after a journey of more than three thousand miles down the amazon River system, far above Iquitos, in Brazil. Between Iqui- `os and Putumayo, farther down the river, Captain Begley end his companions mads one discovery. The ,perpetrations of the atrocities in the rubber district arc no longer permissible. The tortures insisted upon the workers in the forest are -to longer allowed. Newspaper publication and subsequent investi- gations abroad have brought about a reform. Bring Proof in Pictures. Captain Besley and ten compan- ions left Lima, Peru, in. July, 1913, for the Chanchumayo Valley to study the Uta fly, which has its African prototype badly beaten, :recording to Captain Bosley. He found Dr. Townsend, of ±he United States Bureau of Medical Research, already there studying the little in- sect and trying to discover a rem- edy fox its fatal bite. "We went to take photographs of this fly," said Captain Besley, "and wo obtained some fine specimens, not only photographic, but real. This is the most interesting fly in the world to me, and far more deadly than the African fly. It is very small, black, aatd has a long proboscis. It deposits its eggs- with that or its 'teeth, as nearly as 1 could discover. Wherever it bites the parasites subsequently eat all the flesh, If it bites the cheek, they eat the cheek entire, then the chin, until death intervenes. One of our party was bitten by a fly, which was found between 0,000 ,and 12,000 feet altitude, but prompt antiseptics killed the genus.

Rents Higher and Accommodations Worse Than In England. An account given by Charles Reade at the Royal Institute of British Architects of German town planning emphasized the extent to which land speculation has gone in Germany and the utter inadequacy of the old ideal of town planning„ which made wide streets, visbasand green squares its be all and end all. Mr. Reade dealt in turn with Cologne, Frankfort, Leipsio, Me- llish and Berlin, and of each the same tale was told with mere vari- ations of detail. Fine, straight streets and avenues are there to impress the stranger who does not penetra'be through tunnel entrances to the airJ'ess "backs." In other words, in Germany town planning is divorced from housing. Thus we find each scandals in Berlin as a room 8 feet high, 13 feet long and 5% feet wide, in which are housed a consumptive youth and his mother. Bents generally are higher and aeoommodwtions worse in Germany than they are in England. Specu- lation has inflated land values in many cases to seven and eight tunes what; they would be in England. Consequently, along with conger!' ion, thein May be large plots of scant land on which the.speculator cannot afford 'to builduntil runts Pisa still higher.
