and relatives of persons who had dis-

Okwawa's Skull
'a' Is Important
THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SO much curiosity was aroused
by the provsion in the Peace
Treaty that,the faerrnan Goy-
"ernment should restore the.
skull of the Sultan Okwawa that the
National Geographic Society issued s
special bulletin giving an explana-
tion. Even though there are as many
sultans .as there are tribes in Ger-
man East Alripu the Sultan Okwawa
was a 'very special sort of sultan, It
appears, and in getting possession of
his skull the British Government will
accomplish more than it might be i
able to do with a small army to paei-
fy the former German East African
possessions. The National Geogra-
phic Society'e bulletin gives this ae-
eount of the skull and its former
owner;
. Sultan Okwawa was a sort of Me -
hammed or : Confucius among his
clansmen, and it ism be inferred that
the nation which-assuuaes sovereign-
ty over the people who revere his
tmetnory, and probably worship hie
remains, will be teceiWed with grew-
er friendliness if it can restore the.
precious talisman. Fur'thermoreuthe
removal of the skull sheds. a side-
light upon the long arm of German
propaganda, reaching even into dark-
',est Africa in contemplation of Pi us-
,sia's day under the scorching equa-
torial sun,
The German Government contri-
buted a goodly sum for an expedition .i
headed by Adolphus Frederick, Duke
of - Mecklenburg, which ostensibly
made IL scientific study of the G.er.
man protectorate in .Africa in 1907-
1908. There is good reason to be- i
lieve that the explorers •were 'not ,
wholly unaware of political advan- •
tages--and accomplished a tribal coup
d'etat by taking away with them the
skull.
The duke wrote a book about his
travels' in -which he states, in sum-
marizing. the results - of his expedi-
tion, that -"1,017. skulls and about
4,000 ethnographs were collected."I
He described visits to various "sul-,
tans." At one point ht -e digresses;
from botany and linguistics toi give
this naive comment on German-
pol-icy: "It is desired to strengthen and
enrich -the Sultan and persons• in
authority, and to increase thereby
their interest in the continuance - of
German rule.
"At the same time, by steadily
controlling and directing the -sultan
- and, using his powers, . civilizing infiu-
-
ences j would be introduced. Thus by
degrees, and almost imperceptibly to
the sultan himself, he eventually be-
comes nothing less than the execu-
tive instrument of. the German goy,-
ernor."
But Germany's early policy in her
African colonial expansion was mark-
ed by no such adroit methods; rather •
by just such disregard of native cus-
toms and ruthless measures as that
indicated by -her removal of the skull ,
referred to in the treaty. Karl. Peters,
qne' of-' the- first Germans to seek to
exploit African resources., instituted ,
such a reign of terror among the na-
tives by inhuman treatment, and
especially by wholesale murders •of
their women, that the German Gov-
ernment was compelled -to remove his
commission until the storm of civi-
lized protest blew over,
But Peters was -soon restored and
other bureaucratic Gentian officials
rudely deposed native rulers, instead
of co-operating with them as did the
British, and• thus incited. numerous
native uprisings. One of theese, in
1906, cost nearly 125,000 native lives
before the Africans succumbed to the
same sort of terrorism as that insti-
tuted in Belgium in 1914.
The duke commented - on the gen-
erosity of the natives in presenting -
gifts but noted that "yet the pur-
chase - of ethnological material met
with obstinate- oppo ition." He. ex-
plain�ed that - each clan reveres some
totem, believing that the spirit of the
deceased enters thesd objects of rev-
erence.
sThe totem is "just as likely to be
• an animal, or part of an animal --
the duke mentions the toad; crested
crane, the leopard, and the goat—as
a skull. Incidentally this fact helps
to explain' the - reverence; of the old-
time Southern darkey for such tok-
ens as the "left hing leg of a grave-
yard rabbit caught on a dark night."
An Unsinkable , Ship.
For many years, and particularly
during the war, much time has been
spent in producing an unsinkable
ship. Now a vessel has been de-
signed on - the . northeast coast of
England, which, it is claimed, has
this attribute. -
The idea is simple, but very ingen-
ious, and consists of the bridge
(which will be larger than usual) be-
ing hollow and air -tight. Its normal
position will be close down to the
decks, to which - it will be attached
-by an apparatus which will permit of
its being raised to a certain height
above the deck. .
Should the Ship he so damaged
that the hull- will sink, the bridge
will be elevated to the full extent
allowed by the deck attachment, and
when the hull- sinks . the bridge not
only remains afloat, but -will carry
the submerged shell. On the bridge
accoinodation is provided for those
an board. -
Shipowners who have examined
the design consider the idea justifies
the claims made in regard to it, and
with a, view to testing its practicabil-
ity arrangements are being made for t.
the building of a ship in accordance
with the plan.
Liked Pheasants'` Song, A• n English actor -manager had
taken down . to dinner a lady, a
stranger to him, and indeed a nou-
veau riche, who had recently return-
ed -from France.
"And wha. did you most enjoy in
France, madam?" he inquired.
"Well, I think it was the French
pheasants singing the .Mayon arae."
