Prepared by National Geogra.phlo Soclet7, Washington, D. 0.-\VNU Service. LTHOUGB it bas been nearJJ 1,100 years since Ntas lsland. lying ln the Indian ocean off the coast of Sumatra, was first mentioned In history by the Mohammedan merchant Soleywan, today It shows less progress than many more isolated spots on the world map. Neither wireless nor cable connects the Island with clvilizntlon, and only when an occasional boat calls does it have contnct with other lnnds. Yet there flourished an ancient clvUJzatlon. Nias ts about SO miles in length. The north end of the Island Is rather barren and uninteresting, and at Urnes the traveler's ardor is some,'fhat weak~ ened by the intense heat, hard~baked trails which are steep and slippery. and the meagerness of t'ood and shel· ter. But all these hardships are t'or~ gotten when he reaches the rich cities to the South nnd IS lost in admiration ot' this present~day example of a longago civlllzatlon. Centuries ago adventure and possl· bly shipwreck brought inhabitants to these shores; and here, cut off from the world through generations, these peot>le developed their own laws, tbeJr own art and methods ot' warfare. Here primitive people butlt gDeat cities with paved streets, carved enormous stones where ghosts of their ancestors were wont to slt; and here. even todny, warriors wear metal ar~ mor, while their chtet's have 1 coats of gold dedicated to use by human sacrifice. Yet comparatively fe'' people have ever heard ot the lslnndj ot NiaS. In their early trade wlth the Spice Islands, IDuropenn ships sou ht the sbeltered waters along the en coast ot Sumatra, passing through th Strait of Mala~ca; and toOny this sarq route Is taken by the richly laden shJps plylog between the East and the; West. A Island of Gold. Soleyman tells us that the early Nias people were rich in gold: that they ate coconuts and covered their bodles with the oil; that when a man wished to marry he had to take the bead of an enemy. If he took two hea.ds, be could take two Wives; if be obtained 50, he could have that many wives. In manuscripts of later periods, chiefly Arabtc, occasional references are made to tbts Island. Ancient maps locate an Island of Gold near the present site of Nias, and tlle Portugu~se ln 1520 outfitted no unsuccessful e."tpedition to seaxch tor it. Except tor minor visits, Nlas a tract· ed little attention from the Dutch until the mid~le of the Nineteenth century. when they established stattons at sev· eral points in the North and $-outb. But nature came to the n1d ()f un· triendly natives ln keevlng the island isolated. In 1861 a series ot earth· quakes, accompanied by a great tidal wave, destroyed the coast settle)Dents, and a Uttle later uprisings drove the Dutch from the greater part ot the island. It Is only during the l:ist 20 years that the white man has really ruled the land. Little villages with pa l m~ lnged beaches are on the eastern sqore of the Island. Inland, throngh the heat haze of tlle ''ai1eys, one can see clumps of coconut trees on the hJllstdes, almost hiding the brown-roofed \J,ouses of other vUlages. Occasional f the green background ts pierced by the whlte spire of a German ro1ssl(!D. The houses in the \~mages are sound. raised htgh above the ground, and the batnboo-barred windows, as ~en as raised portions of the roofs, are tilled with men. women and chlldren. They are a sickly loolting lot, their yellow color suggesting undernourishment and much malaria. Halt tbe year these people live on rice and halt' on sweet potatoes. but there ts never enongb ot either. Money M eans Little to Th t m. Underfed as they are. tlaey have lit· tle ambition to cultivate the fru!t and vegetables whJcb might give them more vigor. Money is of little US@ to them, pigs for the most part taking the place of currency, and to obtaln carrle1·s is a rea l problem for the traveler. The natives do not want money and can see no use in working. Occaslonanr they go down to the coast and buy a bit of cloth from the Chinese traders, Out in the interior money has little value. When a man buys a wife he pays tor her with pigs. 'fhe thert of a pig ls punishable with death. Throughout the Dutch mast Indles there are, at Intervals, government rest houses where weary officials or other travelers may sp~ud the night. A mnndeur, a natlve <~boy" who \mows more or less about cooking, is in charge. In Nlas, outside of Goenoeng Sitoll, a coast village, there is just one of these houses, a large building which formerly was the home of a German missionary. Lolowua, which ts reached dnrlng the second day's travel Inland, is an Lnteresting place. The chief is an old man, but a lively one. Recently visl· tors found him wearing a woridertul npstanding mustache o:! goJd, a high headdress with golden ornaments, and an enormous earring. When he danced with the other men, leaplng high In the air and performing strange antlcs with the greatest agll· ity, one could well believe the reports that he had had hls fun at taking heads. ne fondly stroked a worn and weatltered old wooden figure which stood lo front of hls house and explalnefl that it was his grandfather, Ancestors are not dead. according to the Nins Idea. 'l'hey live somewhere else, but are still interested in their descendants. Tbrough offerings and sacrifices made to the small wood~ en figures, the advice and assistance of the dead are sought by the living. In some sections, after a death, the relatives and a magician gnther at the grave and Invoke the spirit of the deceased to come to the wooden figure which bas been prepared tor the occasl6n. A.U watch Intently tor a spider. for it Js ln tbls form that the soul wtll become visible on tbe grave. When at last the insect ts caught, 1t ts taken to the house and placed near the figure into which 1t is expected to disappear. These wooden figures are not only 1ntermed1arles bet\veen the living and the dead. but are gunrdlans of the homes, custodians of matrlmony, and protectors against curses of tbe enemy. Whether you keep house seriously or ''kitchenettily,'' as some put It, you are aJmost certnio to keep a supply of canned crab meat, tuna fish, snlmon and lobster meat on hand. They are called on then for main dishes and salad. for lunch and for Sunday night supper and for canapes and for entrees-if you go in for formal dinners. Of these four foods. lobster perhaps bas the more distinct flavor. A very good IJrttnd of canned lobster must be selected on this account~ Pack,s of toiJster vary more t'hnn pacl~s of the other 1lsh unless tt is the crab rneat, which Is of two distinctly different kinds. 'l'he Japanese crab meal comes In htq::rtlr pieces, keeps Its n!ltural flnvor. Rnll is pacl~e<l to such quantities rhnt It is used hu·gely. It Is p:ll'ticnlnrly good for sa\nd whene,·er lnrge piercs ure desir<lhle. Personnlly, a household authnri• snys, I Iilia both lobster and crab left in ~airly lar;!:e pie<'es when a snlnd Is prepared. At least a third as much celery as fish is used for these salads. and UJasounalse Is mixed with them. '!1iny capers or minced :rreen oli\·es lmpro\r-e these snlacls. Tnnn may he nsed the snme way. When salmon ls used as a salad, 11 is better left In lnrger pieces -as it cotues fi'Olll the can. Plenty or mayonnnlse should he nrranged. with hard -cnol<ed eggs-cut foto lengthwise elg:llths-nrouncl the salmon. Eg;.:-s are. of course, often used to garnisb the other tlsb sni~Hls. Any one of these Hsh may he put Into an aspic Jelly with "elery ~tnd sliced stufl'ed ollves. A ring of snhHl of this sort Ulay tle served with cncumhers cut into dices and mixed wltb mayonnaise or with a mixed vegetable salad dressed in the snme wny. For cunnpes. the fish Is usually fl.nely minced and well seasotH~d before It is spread on roundg of toast or fried bread. Sometimes the salad mentioned nbo..-e Is molded In tiny molds not more than one inch in diameter. When these are turned out of the ruold they are put rm toothpicks and eaten with cnnnpes, as an appetizer. For a creamed dish, or for Its rieher relation the Newbm·g, lobster and crab are tbe favorites. 1'he creamed fish ts served on toast In patty cases, or ts put in raweklns ot· in a large bnk· lng dish, co,·ered with crumbs nnd browned in 1'1 hot oven. When higrb seasonings and pimentos nnfl green peppers are ndded to a c•·eamed dish It ts sometimes known as "de,·lled." Any of these fish make delicious timbales nod soufl'tes. One Is as good as the other. Sometimes a Bollnndn lse or a Tartar sauce IS served with these hot dishes. One other delicious use for these sea foods sbouHl be mentioned. They m<tke such delicious cream soups as "bisques," as they are cnlled. Ot course, they are a ilttle heavy for dinner, but { know ot one household where this Is a specialty of tbe hostess and where guests are always hopeful of bavlng a menl begin with her famous lobster bisque. In either of the recipes gtven, ot product can be used to better advantage, but we are quite likely to f:lnd good use for them often In their canned form.

Almost every village has at least one magician or medium, a man or woman who can talk with the spirits through the wooden lmages. These magicians must learn all the formulas, must know the names of all the splrlts to be tn· voked, and during the ceremonies thE>Y must carry out all the instructions ot the spirits. They are believed to be able to cause rain or make the sun shine, to foretell the future, and to bring good crops. They can determine which are the lucky days for marriage, for cu ttlng bamboo, for starting a journey. or for any other undertaking. When a Nlas chief has a pain in his stomach. he believes that some splrtt ln the other world ls trytng to get con· trol of hlm, and 1t ~ necessary to sacrifice a chicken. If the palo is ex~ treme, he might have to sacrlftce a man. Lnture, a deified ancestor, fishes with a net which ls the rainbow, and when the people see thls they are greatly alarmed, for they know that he will catch them it they do not at once offer sacrifices. The old chief entertains some travelers royally. He brings warriors with spears and shields to perform mock battles and give weird dances. To the accompaniment of drums, he sings the visltors' praises at great -length, the warriors shouting tbeir approval at the end of each line. Coconut trees are the Nlas substl· tute tor a soda fountain. A coolie scrambles up a tall tree and throws down green nuts. With a few strokes of his long knife, a man deftly cuts away the husks, making a small hole In the nut. With mouth pressed tJghta ly against this, one drinks the sweet water. Lolowua was once a city of 2,000 In· habitants. whose houses, ereeted in two long rows. faced a pa., ed court. In front Of the houses are stone slabs. polished like glass and wonderfully carved, beneath which tile people place the skulls of their ancestors. Tall pillars ot' stone form backs to the "seats," and, resting on these places of honor, the souls of the ancestors, it ts believed, take part 1n the testlvltles of the mortals.
