Usually travelers have measured the most diminutive specimens, and thus an exaggerated idea of their smaliness has been produced. The average stature of the pyg- mies that have been measured Is about four feet eight Inches, buy the best authorities in antheopology say thaf the real average limit of stature is five feet, Some are taller than that. The pygmies have been found jn eight or ten different places in Cen- tral Africa, but wherever found they possess certain striking resem- blances. The plant furnishing the covering for their huts is the same in the widely separated regions visited by Stanley and others. and the shape of the huts, a rough hemisphere, is the same. All the pvgmies are alike charac- terized by neglect of agriculture, by the use of poisoned arrows, arfd by the absence of centralized tribal or- ganization.—Kansas City Times. Trip Through New Guinea Costly. New Guinea is a rough country to travel in—ubsolutely virgin jun- gle, without even a path other than the knife-cut paths carved out of the=wall of vegetation that covers the greater part of the island. And is a costly thing to travel through the jungle, for everything you are likely to wear, eat and use on the trip must be carried with you on the backs of your native porters il of st Man. transportation is expensive, too, and a moderate estimate for the cost of a tour inland by two white men and thirty native car- riers is not less than $500 a month. The lonely white man can travel ‘in most countries; in New Guinea he is unknown, Arctic exploration is nvt-more strenuous than a jour- ney through the interior of New Guinea.—Adventure Magazine. ; Foynd Wrangel Island in 1867. ‘The first authentic account con- cerning Wrangel island; which has Been attracting so much interna- tional interest, was from Captain Gong, master of the American whal- ing barque Nile, who in the summer of 1867 on a whaling voyage, named this land Wrangel land, after Bar- on Wrangel, and two of the head- lands-he named after one of his crew named Thomas, this man be- ing-the first to see the island. “he promontory Hawaii he named after. the island, where in winter, in the“harbor of Honolulu, the whalers made their rendezvous there to outfit for another season. These names are today on the charts of Wrangel island. “August 12, 1881, Capt. Calvin Cooper, commanding the United States revenue steamship Corwin, Janded and took possession of Wrangel land in the name of the Uhited States of America. # Force of Habit.
