WELCOME TO HEAD HUNTERS
Ceremony Follows Return of Victors
With Their Grewsome Trophies
?Womin in Welcoming Party.
Prof. Carl Lumholtz, in his book,
"Through Central Borneo," gives an
intimate description of head hunting
among the tribes there. He gives a
description of a raid by ten Bukats
upon a small party of Saputans who
were on a hunt. The slayers hurried
off with three heads.
The last night out the head hunters

and early next morning, while it is
tiill dark, they come singing. The people
of the kampong awake, array themselves
in their best fiuery and go to
meet them, the women wearing their
newest skirts and bringing pieces of
cloth to preseiK to the conquerors. A
bead is carried suspended from the
?>naueror's neck until it is taken from
him by a woman, who gives him a j
piece of cloth to wear instead, pos- j
sibly as a badge of heroism. It makes
no difference whether this service is
performed by his wife, by another
wuinan or by another man's wife.
Heads are then hung from a beam in
the house of the kapala, and the cloths
are returned to the women. The head
hunters must take their food apart j
Irotn their associates, and in the presence
of the heads they have taken.
At meals a pincb of rice is put uuu
a hole made with a spear point in the
top of the skull, and the head is addressed
in certain words: "Eat thisu'
rice. Don't be angry. Take care of j
we. Make this body of mine well." '
During the period of restrictions im- 1
posed upon the hunters the heads remain
In the same place, sharing the
meals in this manner. After twelve (
days no more food is offered the
heads, " 1

SATISFIED WITH THE SARONG
i
<
Women of Ceylon Refuse to Worry
Over the Decrees Put Forth by
Dame Fashion. (
The women of Ceylon do not bow 1
the knee to Dame Fashion, but are
content with the sarong?one long (
strip of cotton wound round the '
body?which is all most of the women 1
of .Kandy wear. The sarong was all I

entai court. Kandy was the last!
stronghold of the Singalese rulers, i
Portuguese and Dutch tried in vain
to subdue the city aDd the little raoun- 1
tsrtn kingdom; but the way to Kandy !
was through riarrow passes, surrounded
by jungles. Many lives were lost '
In vain assaults. For 20 years after 1
the British took Ceylon the last king
of Kandy successfully resisted invasion.
Finally, in 1815, he was cap*
tared and sent into exile. The temples*
and palaces and royal tombs of
Kandy speak of the old days of splendid
show. But they are silent con
cerning the intrigue and treachery and j
cruelty and extortion that blackened J
the last years of Sinhalese rule in
Ceylon. Those dark years are forgotten
now. Life runs smoothly under
wise government.
Poets of the Sea.
It seems that the sea is an AngloSaxon
heritage. English literature reflects
it, and its moods have ever been
portrayed in English vers% To tl$e ;
North, rhe Scottish bards sang of their
own wild headlands and skerries, to 1
the Soutn, tne uevons ioiiowea l^ra^e
and Frobisher to the Seven Sens.
Surprisingly, some f of the world's
greatest poems are epi^s of open water.
The Odyssey, for instance, and
the Aeneid. In those days, Greece
and Rome were the maritime nation* '
of the earth, and their romance of
conquest and of commerce found
ready expression in their literature.
Nowadays, the Anglo-Saxons hold the
shipping of the seas, and sea songs
seem as inevitable to English poets
?and to some Americans?as romantic
rondels and sonnets did to the
old Gallic school.?Christian Science

Nine Million Eggs a Year!
If only the hen could emulare the
fish in the matter of laying eggs! The
cod tops the list with nine million annually,
then comes the sturgeon with
seven and a b~lf million. Another
great producer is the flounder, which
just touches the million. The mackerel
deposits half a million eggs, the
perch four hundred thousand, while
the humble herring is content with
a paltry ten thousand. Eggs are genftrallv
riPr.A?itpri in sand or travel.
though the fish which live on the bed
of the ocean attach their eggs to seaweed.
Fish are almost entirely carnivorous.
and have no compunction
whatever in swallowing their own
youhg. It is by smell rather than by
sight that they obtain their food.

TOOLS NAMED FOR ANIMALS [
Not Always Eat/ to Trace th.: Con- <
ruction, Though Sometimes It Is
Plainly Apparent.
There are quite a uumber of tools j
which are named aftu? animals, and it j
Is interesting to find out the connection j
between the instrument and the uuiiual ]
after which it is named, in some cases j
- - - . ? - a I
the connectioa of Ideas is evident ana
it is obvious why the tool is so uamed,
observes a writer in London Answers.
The "monkey wrench." for Instance,
which is a spanner with a movable
jaw, capable of adjustment, can, by
a little stret(*i of imagination, be
thought to possess some likeness to a
monkey's profile and, true, it deals
with "nuts." j
The "donkey engine," which is ca- \
pable of lifting groat weights, may be
considered similar in disposition to
the animul noted for Its stubbornness
and strength. We can aee how the
mechanical "crane" got its name. In
the distance it looks somewhat like
that loag-necked and long-legged bird. I
It is also natural that in a country
like the United States, where large <
herds of cattle are found roaming
wild, the wedge-shaped iron frame in
front of a locomotive should be J,
called "cow-caicner. mc luiycum ^
"horse" Is naturally so called because
it has to carry so much on Its back.
The derivation of the tailor's "goose"
is not very evident, but no doubt some
long-forgotten. Imaginative and poetically
minded tailor, in a burst of inspiration.
called his . smoothing Irou
a "goose" and the name hus been used
ever since by his more practical successors.
The trivet used to support a vessel
over the fire, with its long, thin legs, 1
is naturally called a "spider," and it
is obvious why a spiral instrument or !i
ic milloH q "warm " Also !
IIUU OV. I Ct? *o \u**\u M ..
ive can all see why the large Iron
poker which, being made red hot, is
used for lighting fires, is called a
"salamander."
It is not easy, however, to see the 1
connection between a crab?a flat, '
plumsy animal?and the pillar used <
as a winch;'and why a capstan is ;
called-a "crab" is difficult to imagine. ]
Again, the bar of iron sharpened at
one end and used as a lever for raising
weights is named a "crowbar," |k>i ,
qo evident reason, and I \vo1Hd
gladly take my hat off to the man or
woman who can explain to me t\ie
derivation of the name "bucksaw," (
"catboat" and "butlwheek" 1

Flying Gas Cloud. ]
A cloud of glowing gas has been 1
discovered flying through space at a (
speed of 1,125 miles per second.
Headers may be relieved to know
that it is traveling away from us, but
even if it were coming our way'there
would be nothing to fear, as many
thousands, perhaps millions, of years '
must elapse before it could reach us. '
HOW It mUDages [O iciuuui mivn
while traveling at such a dizzy speed ;
is a mystery. Equally mysterious is ;
the manner In which it-was able to
get up such a speed.
The most probable explanations are .
that it has been shot from some gl- J
gantic ?un belonging "to a universe of J
stars far beyond those we can see. or <
that it is a gradual accumulation of
gas or gases which ultimately will be
formed into stars such as we see
around us at night. ?
Copper and Calcium in the Air.
It is reported that Prof. Hartley of
Dublin has photographed, in ordinary
air, spectroscopic lines duo, among
other things, to copper ami calcium. It
is believed that they arise from tine
dust consisting of these substances,
projected into the atmosphere by
road vehicles, and by smoke nnd the
sparks of trolley wires. It Is from
the latter that copper is supposed to
come. The quantity of copper thus
found is excessively slight. Indeed it j
hs only the delicacy of the tests that
renders it appreciable. Lines due to
lead, carbon. Iron, manganese, nickel ;
and magnesium have also been delected,
but the quantity of these sub
stances is even less than that of the
calcium and copper, the lines of which
are always prominent, in the spectra.

FARMER DROWNS
IN CHESTER POND
Chester, July 10.?Paul Dunlap, a
well known young, planter of Delphia,
in York county, was drowned
this afternoon in Guy's pond near
Chester. He was 27 years of age.
His wife was on the bank and witnessed
the drowning. It is thought
that he went in bathing too soon after
eating dinner and that death was
caused by acute indigestion rather
than cramps. He leaped into the water
and swam about 50 feet and was
coming back. When he got within
about 15 feet of the bath house he
screamed for help, which was quickly
forthcoming, but his helper could do
nothing for him and he was was nearly
drowned in the effort to save him.
Mr. Dunlap was highly esteemed
throughout Chester and York counties
and his death has caused profound
sorrow. He was a son of Thomas
DunlaD. a prominent York county
planter.

STRANGE RACE THAT FOLLOWS
THE BENT OF ITS CHOICE
_ (Frederick J. Haskin.)
The illness of a Gypsy king in Detroit
a few days ago which is said to
have endangered the succession in a
famous Gypsy dynasty, was v/idcly
noticed in the papers and called public
attention to that strange race of
nomads who live all over the. modern
world, and yet are not in the least a
part of it. In fact, their camps, which
at this time of the year are beginningj
IU cipptrctl aiUllg LI1C I uauo C*U UT bUV J
United States, with their queer tents
and painted wagons, their swarthy
women in gaudy silks, seem as out of j
place among the neat American farms!
and homes as would an orchard growing
among daisies.
The Gypsies are unique among peoples
in having roamed all over five (
continents without a country of their i
own or any other unifying influence!
and yet they have kept intact their j
i .
language, tneir customs ana ways 01.
living, and their racial purity. On the'
nature of that race science has recent- :
ly shed a good deal of light. The
Gypsies are no longer thought to have,
?ome from Egypt as their name would j
imply, but are known to be derived ,
from northern India. Both their lan- J
guage and their racial type are said j
to relate them unmistakably to the
Hindoos.
The mystery about them is what J
caused a large section of a race to j
suddenly adopt a nomadic life, and
what enables it to continue this lite
*
in all parts of the world for centuries
without loss of racial identity. For J
the Gypsies began to wander in the
10th century, moving- from their home j
probably in a body which broke up
into smaller and smaller subdivisions (
and gradually scattered to all parts
[of the world. They were probably
j driven out of India 'bv the hordes of
(Genghis Khan. There is nothing rei
markable about the start of this migration.
History is full of similar
, ones. But usually the migrants have
settled again at the first favorable
opportunity and have been largely abr\
-r?Vv a V\tt lv?n riimcm oirn I' arv* wt /-?*t
.'iViucu uy ciic ujyoica n.cpi/ iiiuving
and have remained unchanged.
The Jews of course offer the nearest
thing to parrallel, but the Jews have
attached themselves to various countries,
adopting their languages and
customs, playmg an important part
in the making of civilization. The
Gypsy adopts nothing and remains as
j completely outside of civilization as
| the rabbits and birds.
It is plain the secret of Gypsy nature
is in the "love of wandering,
which scientists call the nomadic im[
pulse. This component of human naX..
1.1 ! /? . .11 1 I* 11
lure nas oeen sciennncauy studied oy
Davenport. He decides that the nohadic
impulse is native to all human
nature, but has been largely inhabited
in most individuals because of the
necessities of civilzed existence. Most
of us some time in youth have dreamed
of long and adventurous journeyings,
and a good many of us have
yielded to the temptation at some
time or other, if the delinquency
amounted to no more than playing
hookey from school. Many persons
keep this desire all of their lives,
even though they never yield to it.
Some cannot resist it, and these be ?
i _. _ .1 11
come tramps, itinerant peaaiers, explorers,
globe trotters, or whatever
else their abilities and opportunities
enable them to become. There are'
few of us, even those most rooted
in habit and settled, who cannot feel
the romantic appeal of a free roaming
life.
The Gypsies, then, are a race of
men who embody this characteristic
of all men most intensely. Think of
a Gypsy as a personification of your
own love of change and adventure,
your hatred of routine and monotony,
the wandering dreams of your youth
which you never had the. chance or
the courage to fulfill, and you will
understand him better.
The Gysies might perhaps be explained
by the fact that a part of a
race or tribe had to migrate in that
far away day, and that all of those in
whom the nomadic impulse was
strongest naturally volunteered to go.
Perhas circumstances- made it impossible
for them to settle anywhere as
a whole, and so they kept moving, the
less strong and adventurous dropping
out one by one, until only a band of
hardy, born wanderers remained.
The fact that the Gypsy persomfiies
the vagabond and the nomad in all of
us doubtless explains the different
accounts of him that- you get. By
most respecta'ble people he is regarded
as a cheat, a thief, a kidnapper,
and a bad fellow generally. On the
other hand, many distinguished persons,
of whom George Borrow, the
English author, is the most famous,
have learned the Gypsy language and
lived among the Gypsies, and these
without exception testify to the sin
cerity, kindness and hospitality of the
road people, and to their great capacity
for friendship.
No doubt there is the instinctive
antagonism between respectable settled
life and the life of the Gypsy,
but possigly it is not too much to imagine
that respectable settled life is
achieved only by repressing and conquering
t'he nomadic impulse the
Gypsy represents. The Gypsies who
come to this country from Ireland
and England, on the fact his own
other self, the self that he has had to
figt?te self tat led him to play nookey
at school, and tempted him to go to
sea, and even now causes him to leave
plowing for fishing once in a while.
His attitude toward this self, an incarnate
in the Gypsy, is one of mingled i
envy and antagonism. He despises
the Gypsy and still he hangs around
the Gypsy tent and has his fortune
told and swaps horses and loses money
on the trade.
Needless to say some of the Gypsies
have earned their bad names. The
Gysies from the south of Europe are
usually the dirtiest, the most inclined!
to pilfer and cheat?though none of
them are to be trusted in a horse
trade. On the other hand, some are j
often well to do, and their traveling j
homes are very clean and comfort-1
able. There are all grades of Gypsy j
as of other society. Some of the bet-!
ter class of Gypsies own homes and j
farms where they spend a part of the j
year, going on the road perhaps only |
in summer. These usually send their!
children to school a part of the time, j
There is a colony of Gypsies in Wash-^
ington who ride about in automobiles
and seem always to have plenty of,
money. One of the men of this group i
was arrested by the Washington police
on the charge that he had no vis-]
ible means of support, and he proved;
in police court that he had invisible j
means to the extent of $100,000 in j
a Washington bank.
Some of these well-to-do and educated
Gypsies are said to desert the
road life entirely and settle into professions
or trades. But even these
feel the call of the road at times and
wonder surreptitiously.
Those who have studied the Gypsies
closely are all of the opinion that
they should be tolerated and allowed (
to live their free and easy life as long
as they refrain from actual crime.
They say the Gypsy stands for something
valuable that the rest of the
race is rapidly losing under the influence
of civilization?for the primitive
spontaneous love and understanding
of nature as distinguished from our j
highly artificial admiration of sunsets j
and muonrises, for the joys of change;
and freedom. It is well that the (
Gypsy wagon should rattle past ourj
doors once in a while. Maybe it will;
