' • Little Men Average Only Four, Feet Eightlitelies in Height. Captain Cecil G. Reevling, ..the explorer, has recently *given Eng- lish 'scientisti. some intereetahg ac- counts of to new tribe of 'pygeniet, found by his expediltion in South- west Dutch New Guieea, These little people, known as the Tapiros, average 4 feet 8% inches, in height. They were found living OU the low-lying hills of theeKapare River. On the- approach of ;the whitemen they ran away, but the expedition succeeded in capturing three whose curiosity brought them near' camp. At, first' they were greatly frightened, but kindness won them ever, and a few months later the explorers were enabled to -establish trading relations with the tribe and were allowed to visit and stay in their village of Wombirmi. This village is hidden 'away in the forest high up the mountain side and was only found after many fruitless attempts. While no opeu hostility was 'shown, to the whites, they were not exactly received with open arms. Of the NOM= and chil- dren they sew nothing, but their shrill cries could, be heard as they fled up the mountain side on the approach of a stranger. " Deecribing the men, , Captain Rawlings &ELM taken, lia a. whole, that they are well made and'wiry, while their celor is ..J dark choco- late. The hair, usually black, but somethnes with a tench of brown or even red, is worn short. Many geoW beards, the older men dyeing theirs red. Like all native tribes they weer necklets of animal hones and other small possessiens. Their only clothing e,onsists of a covering around the loins. "Their houses and surround- ings," says Captain Rewling, "are considerably in advance of those of their large -framed bretheen of the plains. To the list cif Negritos, which with the Negrillos4 are the known tribes of pygrniee inhabiting the earth, Must now be added the newly diseovered trihe Ta,piros who, -so 1133 6.1 their stature -is con. cerned, take rank next above the Congoopygmies." •I9,0YER'S EXPENSES.
