The natives appear to cling mostly to the banks of the many rivers, where they live in carefully constructed habitations built in the trees or on piles twenty to thirty feet high, In the Le#terior, how- ever, many settlements were found com- poseéd of substantial bulldings supported by thick tree trunks and covered with roofs of the large tried leaves of tropical plants, In fact, several of the dwellings were divided into various apartments— a large one in the center for the men and boys, and separate ones for each woman. In the coastal lands the natives oon- struct their huts, or rather arbors, in a long line like a street, each habitation supported by the next one. Many of the coast people had previously become ao- quainted with white men who had come to hunt birds of paradise and they also knew that money was valuable. The knowledge of metais among the natives is very limited and thelr cutting tools are stone axes and flint clisels, With these some of the tribesmen managed to carve ornaments on their pirogues or canoes, thelr oars and little figures for the adornment of their habitations. Some kind of superstitius bellef is pre- valent In the interior, for each habitation in the settlements has its own god, usually in the shape of a huge turtle shell, on which is stuck a fish head. Hunters and Fishers. Hunting and fishing are the main ocou- pations of the natives, but in the In- terior many of the habitants are sur- rounded by patches for the cultivation of root-crops and suger cane, whidh with fish and eago form the main food of the people, who are very fond of lobsters and mussels, which are plentiful, Everywhere the country s infested with snakes and the rivers swarm with alll- gators, but animals are not numerous and comprise chiefly dogs, tame and wild hogs, and kangaroos and other marsup- ials, as well as many rats, The conformation of the country varies from low-lying marshlands, pregnant with fever, to high, healthy plateaus and mountains, such as the \\'nhclmlm peak, o —————————— 1D Wan.

He will take the wooden chalir on the plat- form and smash its legs. He will climb up one of the posts that support the roof of the tabernacle. At least he has done these “stunts” in other citles. But “Billy” Sunday is a nervous man. He is at tight tension continually. He #pends all the time when he isn't preach- ing, all the time he possibly can in bed, just conserving his energies. He receives distinguished visitors in bed. Mrs. Sun- day usually brings his breakfast to him in bed. Every ounce of energy is held in reserve for the blg moments whem he must be at his best for his chosen work. Those who sit near the platform, as do the newspaper men, can see that he is nervous. On Tuesday someons was pounding with a hammer just outside the buflding. He stopped instantly in his ser- mon and looked in the direction whence came the noise. Rev, Dr. Welsh rushed wildly out and the pounding stopped Then “Billy proceeded. Something on the Roof, Another time something rolled down the roof of the tabernacle. It sounded like a “Billy" stopped again till the nolse had ceased. He chuckled grimly and said, “If somebody wants to sleep in the cooler just let ‘em keep on.” At one meeting & man came walking up the alsle and passed In front of the it. He wipes the perspiration from the lower part of his face, but never from his forehead. 1t comes too fast there and he Just lets it drip off.
