Easter Island Has |
Long- Been Mystery
Luster Is'.md. lonely mystery isle
of the sol.rheastern Pacific, lias become
still more of a riddle since rft-J
dlo flashes recently revealed that In- j
dilations of oil have been found
there.
"Many colossal monolithic statues
on the inland, like giant gods 40 feet I
high, have long puzzled archeaolog- j
ists." says a bulletin from the Wash-1
ington. 1) C . headquarters of the National
Geographic Society. How they 1
were fashioned, why, and by what
means they were transported to thetr
various stations all over the island,
have never been satisfactorily explained.
For the last century Easter Island's
commercial history has been woven
in wool. Sheep-raising is the largest
imlusty If it were not for the sheep.
Chile probably would not send a ship
once a year to her only distant possession
in the southern Pacific. As
it is. the island exports only a i< w
hundred pounds of wool shearings annually.
But if huge oil tanks rub elhows
with towering, graven images,
this world outpost will see significant,
I
changes.
A thousand miles east of the nearest j
j islet of Polynesia, and 2,!too west of ,
the Chilean const. Raster Island is,
|a parcel of pstareit etao therelnm <
ia parcel of pasture land, broken with,
la scattering of low-lying extinct vol ]
i;aiues. Its iriauguiar shape covers j
an area a few square miles smaller J
than the'District of Columbia. Trees .
are so few that native boats were put
together like jigsaw puzzles \iith
driftwood found on the shores First
timber houses owed their existence to
a cargo of lumber, salvaged when a
freighter shattered itself on a nearby j
I reef.
| The inhabitants of Easter Island,
like their tremendous statues, are curious
and veiled with mystery It is
still a question how their ancestors
reached the lonely isle
Formerly the Islanders selected a
chief each year by means of competition.
A number of representatives
from the Ao or ruling class were the
a ? . . - - . t
annual candidates. But usually the
candidates picked younger men to
serve them in the competition, which
was an egg-hunt on a tiny isle just
off Easter. At the beginning of the
laying season of the sooty tern, sacred
bird of the islanders, the chosen
youths swam out to the hunting
ground. Here they remained until
on.- of them found the first egg.
When the victor returned to present
the egg and hear his master proclaimed
king, there was a renewed
enthusiasm for the feasting which
had been going on since the contest
began. Every young contestant gorged
himself, for he had had little to eat
during his stay of perhaps several
days or even a week on the rocky
islet. Chief for a year, the winner
exhibited the egg of fortune outside
his house with much ceremony and
circumstance.
Owing to limited resources, Easter
Island has been necessarily popula-.
t lon-conscious. Prior to lSfI2 when
Peruvian pirates kidnapped l,"0o islanders
to slave on the guano isles of
Peru, the total number of inhabitants
remained almost constant year afier
year. Each time a child was born,
one of the more aged grandparents
was stoned to death. Or if the newborn
babe seemed ill or deformed, the
parents had to cast it into the sea,
and the old grandfather or grandmother
lived on a little longer. As a
result of the mass-kidnapping. and
development of diseases with the
coining of civilization, there are
scarcely more than 2"?0 natives 011 the
island today.
Because Dutch Admiral Koggevcen
discovered the island on Easter Sunday,
1 772, he called it Easter Island.
The native name is Te Plto Te Henna,
meaning navel of the earth.
Dog Follows Postman Ten Year*
A half-Belgian, half-Scotch collie
named "Hex," has followed a postman
over fifteen miles oT city streets
every day for more than ten years in
Ingle wood, California.
Even on Sundays and holidays
when Ixmnz Prader, the postman,
does not show up. the dog sees no
reason why the route should be neglected,
so he waits outside the post
office for ten minutes after the usual
time for starting and then trots oil
alone, pausing in front of every home
where mail is delivered regularly and
| returning to the post office at the usj
ual time. In the afternoon he is out
on the route again 011 second delivery.
Prader says Hex volunteered for
;the mail service when ho was a pup;
py six weeks old. Nothing could dis!suade
him from following, and he was
;allowed to go along. A few chidings
were enough to teach Rex that he
.must not chase cats while, on duty,
or walk 011 lawns, especially newly
planted ones. He also l^Rrned the
lesson that other dogs must not accompany
him and, without cr*><?tjng
a scene, he quietly but firmly discourages
canine companionship on
the route.
Prader believes hig dog is refined,
and apparently lik?-s to think he has
acquired the ways of men. He won't
eat raw meat, hut likes any kind of
dessert, the sweeter the better. His
favorite food is ice cream and postmen
buy him a dish every day at a
restaurant. Prader says Rex thinks
ice cream is man's crowning achievement
and that apartment house dwellers
are of finer clay than ordinary
mortals who live in family houses.
Although Rex has visited apartment
houses thousands of times, he still.becomes
excited at sight of them. Per|haps
that is because a few dwellers
(therein usually have cookies or cake
1 for him.
j While Rex is not adverse to being
j petted by men, he would just as soon
j children did not make much of him.
, For that reason, he does not spend
j his nights at Prader's home where
j there are children. Some nine years
ago he became an uninvited, but not
j unwelcome, guest at the home of a
'doctor near the post office. He has
j boarded there ever since.
Probably because of his heavy dujties
in the postal service. Rex apparently
has only one close friend in the
| canine world. This friend is an irresponsible
little mongrel called
, ".Mike," whom Rex seems to regard
! as just about the most amusing felj
low he ever saw?Carl F. Blaker in
I Our Dumb Animals.
Senator Bilbo, of Mississippi, is proposing
a plan to transport large numbers
of negroes to Liberia, and nearby
territory in West Africa, as a part
of the proposed relief bill.
