Residence 118 Broadw: in | Deer | nd warmer Tuesday, | Story. In connection with the sailing of an Italian war balloon over the villages of the troglodytes, the curious cave | dmellers, of northern Africa, which is | described in one of the Sunday N York papers, the contribution ito | science upon this subject made by one distinguished son of Norwich, Irank Edward Johnson, is given farse prom- inence. Of the 'work of Mr. Johnson in his original investigation among the troglodytes it is said: ¥rank Edward Johnmson is the man Who can lay claim to being the only American who has lived among the cavemen of Northern Africa. While he was in Tripoli some years ago he became quite chummy with the Kaid of Matmata, an intelligent natve, whom the French masters of the land had appointed to rule over an inland tribe. This native later became Kaid of Matmata and, happening to read in some American magazines an a ticle by Mr. Johnson on troglodytes, he wrote to the author at his bome in | Norwich, Conn., that he would im- prove his knowledge of the subject by Ppaying his old friend a it. “I .am a troglodyte myself,” the writer of the letter remarked. So Mr. Johnson ieit his Conmecticut home, - sailed across the sea to Tunis, transferred to a small coasting steamboat, which tanded him at the desert port of Gabes, and after a wearisome journey over the sands, found himself within view of the village of Matmat:. Or rather, he didn’t find himself within a view of it. It was there but he couldn’t see it. Not a House In Sight. “Imagine arriving at a town of 5,000 inhabitants and not seeing a house— only a pieturesque mosque built since the French occupation,” he aid, in an ariicle which he wrote for the National Geographic Magazine after his return to_the United States. When he finally looked groundward and located the village, he slipped and stumbled down the sides of a huge hole dug In the ground, and found that it was a courtyard of his friend, the Kaid, from which other openings led into living rooms and store rooms. Every house in Matmata is built in just this way—one large hole, left un- covered, for a courtyard, and every- thing else leading out of it decp inte the earth. The big Moles vary in depth and width, averaging about 9 yards deep and 15 vards in circumference. In the ! | | middle of each courtyard is a square masonary trough which pipes rain- water into a large cistern. This is a most important home adjunct, as water is very scarce. Every drop of rain is carefully preserved—so care- fully that the unfortunate horses, goats, sheep and donkeys belonging to the natives are watered only once in twenty-four hours. Visiting the Kaid. The Kaid's dwelling is a superior sort of place with its entrances walls whitewashed and several articles of European furniture disposed about the various holes that serve as rooms. Another high class dwelling of this un- derground village is that of Shelk Ferdjani, who courteously invited Mr. Jomnson’ to pick his way down the steep walls of thej “courtyard” and pay him a visit. He describes the visit thus: A young man burned a handful of dried esparto grass, wnich flamed up brightly and showed us the steps and turns down the tun- nel. I almost fell over a donkey eatine its hay. Great eyes glared at me from out of the blackness. On coming into the large round courtyard ome would think the Sheiks the father of at least twelve infants, for children from 2 to 10 vears old are curiously watching us. They are very fond of bonbons and sous. Whatever money one gives the Sheik is di- vided among the children. He met the Sheik’s beautiful little six-year-old daughter, who liked to be photographed with her playmate, little Ayesha, and her little brothers. After gratifying this taste of hers a door of palm leat boards was pushed aside and the American was ushered into the Sheik’s private room—or rather cave— cut out of the solid rock. In it was an old wooden chest, many guns, and a bedstead hewn out of rock, but pro- vided with comfortable-looking native mattresses filled with .wood and with native blankets. There was also an oll iamp made just like those the Greeks and_ Romans used. The Kaid of Matmata was very po- lite to Mr. Johnsan. Whenever the latter traveled about in the nelghbor- hood to look up other burrowing com- munities he was provided with knives, spoons, forks and napkins by his hos- pitable host. Matmata Etiquette. Under such auspices the American had ample opportunity to study the customs of the country, and he has much that is interesting to say about them. Of the Kaid's village he writes: Matmata has its special code of etiquette. Never approach near enough to another man’s dwelling to iook down into the great cir- cular courtyard and see his wom- en. It is not only bad form but it is dangerous. Each dwelling has numbers of white Kabyle dogs that keep a constant watch, and on your approach would fly out at you and like to tear you into pieces. Never enter a passage- way to a dwelling without sending in.a small boy or girl to let the women know that you are com- ing in. Wedding Dowry of $3.00 We. are told that when a troglodyte man decides that he wants to get mar. ried to a troglodyte girl he has, first of all, to hand over to her parents four goats and two kids, four sheep and two lambs, and a large quantity of olive ofl, barley and wheat. In eome villages he aleo must present his pros- pective father-in-law with a brand new fez and a pair of yellow leather slippers for use in his subterranean domicile. With the bride goes a dowry of 30 plasters (about $3), one-half of which is paid on the day of the marriage and the rest within a vear after it. Such munificent gifts, the American adds, are customary only when the bride is “phyeically perfect” If & man balks at handing ever sueh rich gifts he may obtain, say, a wife blind in one eve for a mueh lower price.

Most of its houses are used for storing grain by the tribesmen of the nelgh- boring -desert. It Is a silent, melan- choly place, like a graveyard out in the desert. ] : Climbing Trogodytes. Beyond it are numerous villages peopled by what are known as “climbing _troglodytes'—cave-dwellers who dig into hillsides. They have a partiality for the most inaccessible eminences. “As soon as I saw a par- ticularly steep crag, a veritable eagle's nest, 1 felt sure that it was honey- combed with troglodytes' homes, writes one French exployer, “and it usually’ was.” 152 caught unprepared, massacred its fifhting men, and carried tHe rest away to slavern ‘herefore the natives tunneled and scooped out every peak they could find, and stationed sentinels on the topmosi vantage-points that the approach of the enemy might be signaled irn good season. One of the most striking of these eyries is Douirat—"a beehive mountain perched high over a deep ravine It consists of countless caves and niches, dug in tiers along the mountainside, and surmounted by a “ksar” or cit- adel, now in ruins, “A huge, huamn anthill,” the American traveler calls it. The Shelk of Douirat was most court. eous to the American, escorted him up & zigzag trail, dived into one of the myriad holes, and hospitably asked him to partake of luncheon in the underground fastness. A troglodyte meal, by the way, is a ourious cere- mony, described by Mr. Jehnson thus. A large wooden bowl of ‘“cou- scous™ is brought in, made by the women of the household. * * * “Cousceus” is an Arab dish that one finds all over Northern Afri- ca. It is made of wheat prepared so that it leoks like very fine round grains of rice, and it is boiled soft with vegetables, when there are any to be found, and served with half or a whole Sheep. It is highiy seasoned with red peppers, and is an excellent and nourishing dish. * * * One's hands are washed before eating and a wooden spoon is giv- en toeach. The host or his el est son cuts the sheep into piecs with a hunting knife, and all fall to. The great wooden bowl Is placed on the floor or an a table about siz inches high, with the men_sitting tailor fashion around it. Bach one eats out of the huge common dish, and choice bits of mutton are placed in front of one’s portions Dby the host and his friends. * * * Our table tallc was, first of all, how I liked their country; had I ever breathed such air or tasted such wonderful water, or seen such fine olive trees? Then they would tell me of their pilgrimages to Mecca and details of the life of Mohammed and his leaders. Finally they would want to know just where America is situated. ©On a voyage to Mecca the cap- tain of the steamer had told Sheik that if he keot on through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea past India and the Far Bast that he would reach America. That was clear to the Sheik’s mind. But another captain, on the re turn vovage, told the same Sheik that ¥f he kept on past Tangler and Gibralter he would reach America. That was too much to believe. Miserably Poor. Thé people of Matmata and the rest of the troglodyte villages are misera- bly poor. This is true to such an ex- tent among some of them that they look forward with joyv to a flight of locusts, since by capiuring plenty of these pests they can he assured of having something to eat for quite a while. To illustrate the power that the wom- en wleld, a French officer who knew the natives well told a fellow-countryman | of his who visited Tunis that it hap- | pened frequently, when some sort of agreement had been made between Frenchmen and troglodytes, and all the detalls settled, apparently, to the sat- istaction of 'the latter, that they would come back the next day and | i | declare they could not carry -out what | they had agreed upon.” When pressed for a reason for this, they would dodge the question as long as possible, making all sorts of excuses, and, when finally cornered, they would confess | that the women of their village had objected to the agreement, for which reason they were obliged to go back on what they had said the day before. “What creates an impassable gulf be- tween us and the native,” declared the same officer, not his way of life nor his ignorance nor his language nor his religion. It is his wife and his mother!” § FOURTH DEGREE MEETS, L. Kikead. The party bfoke up at a late hour the guests singing as a Good Night chorus, .
