SCENES FROM EVERY LAND |w.>.7hi^na..rf^ The Daughter of a Maori Girl and White Man The Maoris are in many respects the most remarkable savages with whom the white man has come in contact. Fifty years ago cannibalistic feasts, at which the flesh of their fallen enemies was served, were not uncommon. Today several members of their race are members of the New Zealand Parliament, and Maori women, as well as the white women of New Zea- land, exercise the right to vote (see page 36). NaT. Geog.

GILMAN RUDOLPH KAUFFMANN WILLIS L. MOORE S. N. D. NORTH Co o =1 3 ^ ^ >^HE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY Vi^ was organized and incorporated under the law^s of the District of Columbia January 27, 1 888. Its object is the increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge, which it accomplishes by- The publication of an illustrated monthly Magazine, many large maps and various books, etc. The maintenance of a library at its head- quarters. The award of gold medals. An annual series of addresses at the National Capital. The Society has many thousands of members, distributed throughout every state in the Union and in every foreign country. QrtUtt I^N January, 1902, the House of Representatives, by a vote of 307 to 2, passed the bill authorizing the construc- J tion of the Nicaragua Canal. The people had become 1 impatient of the many years' debate as to which canal route should be selected, and it looked as if the Senate would also adopt the Nicaragua project and the country be definitely committed to a canal lined by volcanoes. One morning when the Senate assembled the members were somewhat surprised to behold several large maps hanging in prominent places in the Senate chamber. Senator Hanna, of Ohio, who had previously announced that he was to speak that day, presently appeared, and with a large pointer demonstrated the belt of volcanoes extending from Mont Pelee, Martinique, through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Mexico. He pointed to no less than 25 bordering the Nicaragua Canal Zone, of which several were active volcanoes in the Nicaragua Lake or in the proposed canal itself. That forcible lesson in common geography was one of the most persuasive factors in determining the choice of the Panama route. The reader must not infer from the preceding introduction that this modest collection of illustrations has any great mission to perform. They are simply a few of the pictures that have appeared in the Na- tional GEOGRAPHIC Magazine; during the past five years, and are re- printed in this volume in answer to the many requests received from readers. They serve, however, to emphasize the purpose for which the National Geographic Society exists, namely, "the increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge," and to illustrate one of the means by which this remarkable organization accomplishes its object. Its principal agent for diffusing geographic knowledge is the National Geographic Magazine, in which it publishes many substantial and thoughtful arti- cles from its members, of whom it has many thousands, distributed in every part of the world. The Society endeavors to make geography interesting, and thus to stimulate the public to a better knowledge of the earth on which we live. Probably no other study is at once so entertaining and so bene- ficial, because of its broadening influence and practical value, as the study of geography. One reason that President Roosevelt has such a keen appreciation of the needs of all sections of the United States is that he has made it his business to study the geographical conditions of every section. From geographical history he knows that ruthless devastation of forests and reckless overgrazing are followed by deserts, and that therefore forest reserves and grazing restrictions are neces- sary to protect our future prosperity. His devotion to the Isthmian Canal, to the government irrigation works, involving millions of dollars, to the development of our unrivaled waterways, and to the preserva- tion of our natural resources, are largely inspired by his constant study of the map and geographical history and geographical relations. Great Britain's success in acquiring the choicest portions of the globe is partially explained by the fact that her statesmen have usually kept ■a good map and secret reports of reliable explorers before them when -a "partition" or adjustment of boundaries was in progress; while the rapid development of Germany's foreign commerce in recent years em- phasizes the truth that a knowledge of other nations and other peoples is as essential to the success of a nation nowadays as an understanding of other men is necessary to the success of the individual. But geography has also its lighter side. The returned traveler always finds at home an audience appreciative of his tales of strange sights in foreign lands. That same trait in human nature which makes gossip- ing about our neighbor's family so popular makes us eager to hear about the customs and manner of life of other peoples. The world has become so small that we are now "a. family of nations," who gossip about one another, and if we cannot exchange visits, we can at least read about each other, and, better still, barter photographs. All the pictures in this collection have previously appeared in the Natignal Geographic Magazine;; so that those who desire further information can turn to the original number of the Magazine. The bibliography is intended merely as a guide to reliable books, which can be easily secured. The list aims 'to be convenient rather than exhaustive. Gilbert H. Grosvenor. Scenes from Every Land The Obelisk of Pelee, Martinique This photograph was taken by the late Prof. Angelo Heilprin, of Yale University, from the crater rim on June 13, 1903, looking north-northwest. The great pufifs of steam issue from the contact zone between the obelisk and the "dome" (seen in the lower part of the picture), which envelop its base. This peculiar and striking tower was thrust up through the throat of the volcano to a height of 1,000 feet during the 12 months following the great eruption of May 8, 1902; it has since crumbled to pieces. Scientists do not agree as to its formation. Professor Heilprin, who made four journeys to Mont Pelee, believed that it was an ancient volcanic core which was dislodged from its moorings and lifted bodily by the volcanic activity beneath. Others maintain that the tower was formed of fresh lava rising up the throat of the volcano, and that this lava hardened immediately after exposure to the air, Nat. Geog. Mac, 1906, p. 466. Statue of Our Lady of the Watch, Saint Pierre Though weighing several tons, it was hurled 50 feet by the terrific blast from Mont Pelee, May 8, 1902. It is a vivid illustration of the power of the "horrible black cloud" which swept down from Mont Pelee, 6 miles distant, and in 3 minutes annihilated the 30,000 inhabitants of Saint Pierre.

They are found in the interior of all the larger islands of the Philippines, and are generally supposed to have been the first inhabitants of the islands, having come from New Guinea. They hide in the mountain forests, where they were driven by later invaders. There are about 30.000 of them left. They live on the fruits and tubers which they find in the forest, and like the pigmies of Africa kill their game with poisoned arrows. N.at. Geog. M.\g., 1903. p. 209. Scenes from Every Land 33 A Chief of the Gaddanes, Isabela, Luzon The various non-Christian tribes in the archipelago comprise about 2,000,000 people. They cover northern Luzon, Mindoro, Palawan, and the great island of Mindanao. Some of them, like the Negritos, are comparatively harmless, while others, like the Gaddanes, are fierce and hard to control. It is said that head-hunting is still practiced by the Gaddanes, and that a young man of this tribe cannot find a bride until he has at least one head to his credit. Nat. Geog.

The Parsees are the •most interesting people of Asia. They are followers of Zarathustra and descendants of the ancient Persians who emigrated to India on the conquest of their countrj' by the Arabs, about 720 A. D., and, though.numbering but a few thousand among the three hundred million Indians, have preserved their individuality during the twelve centuries. The Parsees are much more generous in their treatment of women than any other Asiatic race, allowing them to appear freely in public. They are proverbial for their benevolence and hospitality and their keen business ability and integrity. Photo from U .S. Consul Thomas E. Fee, Bombay. Nat. Geog. Mag., 1905, p. 541.

Papago Indian Obtaining Drinking Water from a Barrel Cactus (Echinocactus emoryi), West of Torres, Mexico Messrs Frederick V. Coville and T. J. MacDougal, the authors of this photograph, give the following description of seeing a Papago Indian quench his thirst in the desert: He cut the top from a plant about five feet high, and with a blunt stake of palo verde pounded to a pulp the upper six or eight inches of white flesh in the standing trunk. From this, handful by handful, he squeezed the water into the bowl he had made in the top of the trunk, throwmg the discarded pulp on the ground. By this process he secured two or three quarts of clear water, slightly salty and slightly bitter to the taste, but of far better quality than some of the water a desert traveler is occasionally compelled to use. The Papago, dipping this water up in his hands, drank it with evident pleasure, and said that his people were accustomed not only to secure their drinking water in this way in times of extreme drouth, but that they used it also to mix their meal preparatory to cooking it into bread.

II Scenes from Every Land 109 Mapimoth Recovered from Northern vSiberia The specimen had been preserved in the frozen soil of the tundra of Siberia so per- fectly that after countless centuries the flesh and hair appeared almost as fresh as if the animal had been dead only a few hours. The average size of the mammoth appears to have been about the same as that of the existing species of elephants, but nature had provided it with a dense clothing of long, coarse,' outer hair and close, under, wooly hair of a reddish brown color, in order that it might be equipped for the cold climate of its habitat. The geographical range of the mammoth was very extensive. There is scarcely a count>- in England in which some of its remains have not been found, either in alluvial deposits of gravel or in caverns. Its remains have been found throughout central Europe, northern Asia, and the northern part of the American continent, though the exact distribution of the animal in the new world is still undetermined. The mammoth belongs to the post-Tertiary or Pleistocene epoch of geologists, and was undoubtedly contemporaneous with man in many places. It probably existed in Britain before, during, and after the Glacijil period. Many remains of this huge beast have been found in Siberia, and it is stated that for a very long period there has been a regular export of mammoth ivory from that region for commercial purposes. Nordenskiold, who had special opportunities for studying the subject; of the mammoth during his northeast passage, states that more than 100 pairs of mammoth tusks have come into the market yearly during the last 200 years. The Siberian shore between the mouth of the Obi River and Bering Strait and the Arctic islands to the north were reported by him to contain the relics of many thousands of mammoths. Nat. Geog.

Certain ethnologists maintain that the main part of the population of the Mediterranean basin was derived from these Berbers, and not, as commonly supposed, from successive invasions of Caucasians.

Organized slave raiding and flourishing slave markets have been stopped, and it is believed a productive and rich commercial field opened to English capital. The fact that Northern Nigeria is almost the only part of British tropical Africa which possesses a history extending over many centuries and a semi-civilization of its own long antedating the coming of the European give the region unique interest. Its most interesting city is Kano, which, like Timbuktu, for centuries was one of the mysterious cities of Northern Africa. It is sur- rounded by stupendous walls, 30 to 50 feet high and 40 feet thick at the base, with a double ditch in front. Their perimeter is 11 miles, with 13 massive gates. The houses are of solid mud, with flat roofs, impervious to fire, and lasting through the centuries. The great market is said to contain a floating population of 30,000, for many caravan roads converge in the city, which has a total population of 100,000.

Driven by a 70-horsepower motor and two propellers, this dirigible has recently made about 30 miles an hour. Its lifting capacity is 2,777 pounds. The New Deutsch Airship "Ville de Paris," a Strange Looking Dirigible Balloon The peculiar arrangement of twin, hydrogen-filled cylinders forms a sort of balancing tail. This airship has a length of 60 meters (196.85 feet) and a diameter of 10.8 meters (35.43 feet), while its capacity is 3,000 cubic meters (105,943 cubic feet). Its propellers are placed on either side of the body framework or "nacelle," and at about the center of the latter, which is boat-shaped. The weight which can be carried, outside of the equipment and the fuel sufficient for a ten hours' run, is about 1,100 pounds. A 70-horsepower Panhard motor is used.

During the experi- ment the rope straightened under the pull of the kite, and the man was raised to a height of 30 or 40 feet He was in great peril, but fortunately was brought down safely. The whole kite including the man, weighed about 131 kgs. (288 pounds), and its greatest length from side to side was 6 meters at the top and 3 meters at the bottom. This is the only instance known to the Editor of a man supported in the air by a single kite. Baden-Powell and others who have been supported in air by kites have used a tandem of kites to get the necessary lifting power. Photo by Dr Bell. Nat. Geog. Mag., 1907, p.

So brief a list must necessarily be in- complete, but it aims to give one or more reliable and interesting works on each of the principal countries of the world. As the object has been to list only those hooks that are easily obtainable, books in foreign languages have been omitted, as such works are difficult to secure in America. G. H. G.
