NEW RACE OF MEN
New York, May 11.?The exploring
party headed by Dr. Alexandria .
Hamilton Rice, which clashed last
February near the banks of the Orio- ^
cow with giant cannibals, returned
here today from Para on the steamer
Alban. P
Arriving with Dr. Rice were Mrs.
Rice, formerly Mrs. George D. Wid- j.
ener, of Philadelphia, who accompanied
her husband on some of his
South American explorations; Ches- r
ter H. Ober, geographer of the ex
? tit n T T<
pedition; a. w. owanson, d. n.
Mason and Dr G E. Byers. .
While exploring an unnamed tributary
of the Orinco, Dr. Rice's party ^
was attacked by wild Indians. The t
discharge of firearms failed to scare ^
off these savages who were described ,
as being large and very fierce.
The explorers only escaped, it was
said, by firing into the savages killing
either two or three. The nartv, on the
v
advice of the guides then turned
3
back. Mrs. Rice w^s not with her husband
on this particular occasion.
"The cannibals who attacked the
e
party were almost white in color.
Professor Rice said. "In all my years
in the tropical jungles I have never
seen such ferocious looking savages. ^
Q
Nearly all were armed with bows and
arrows and carried spears and blow
guns. These men were more than s'x
r
feet tall and I recognized them as

SOY BEANS VS. COWPEAS
i
I
When the soy bean is compared
vith the cowpea it is more valuable
n many ways.
1. It will collect more nitrogen
rom the, atmospherethan will the!
owpea, thus being a great soil im-l
rover.
2. The seed will remain on the |
round until late fall?November or J
)ecember?without rotting, thus
;iving a longer grazing period.
3. It is erect in growth, without;
unners, and can therefore be .
asily cut for hay or silage.
4. It will resist drought better than
he cowpea will.
5. There are varieties of soy beans!
hat will mature seed much earlier
hat the earliest varieties of cowpeas;
ience it can be planted earlier and '1
iter than, the cowpeas.
6. It will produce far more grain (
han will the cowpea; and the richer j
he soil the more grain there will be;
/hereas the cowpea makes more vine
nd less peas.
7. The soy bean matures all its fruit j
t once and can therefore be harvest-;
d with machinery and the seed re-j
noved by common threshing machin-j
ry, whereas the cowpea must be1
ticked by hand and threshed by spc-|
ial machinery.
8. It is not troubled by weevils andj
ither insect pests which injufe cow-j
>eas.
9. Its chief advantage over the j
owpea is that it is richer in protein j 1
nd fat. It contains an average of jj
5.4 per cent of portein nd 20.4 per,?
ent of oil, as compared with 25.U peril
2nt of portein and 1.8 per cent of J
il in cowpeas. J
On the other hand the co*v p.va ha3 j

nformation has been received from cl
jpenhagen that the Danish consul- s<
neral in London. J. E. Boeggild, n
is been appointed Danish minister Iceland.
Mr. Boeggild is widely tc
lown in America, having been
anish consul in San Francisco and n
licago, consul-general in New York d:
id commercial adviser to the Danish st
eration in Washington. o]
dr. Boeggild seems especially fitted tc
r the post, as he has Icelandic tt
ood in his veins. On the maternal it
ie he is descended from the Tulinius D
mily of Iceland, which traces its h
igin back to Thorfinn . Karlsefni, h
le of the famous Norsemen who a
scovered America nearly one thouind
years ago.
Karlsefni, of whom a statue, was 1
icently erected in Philadelphia, was
le first white man to settle in Am- t
r.cv., spending two years in "Winetnd,"
where his wife, Gutrid, gave e
i:th Lo a bey, whe was called Snorri. t
rom Snorri descended a numerous r
nd distinguished lineage, .among t
ho is numbered the Tulinius fam- <1

"Yet there has never been a time
