THE interests of governmental lonely island of Guam, INeconomy the smallest of American of the possessions, will be taken from the list of American naval bases and turned over to another government department, possibly the Department of Interior, which has already suggested that Guam would make an attractive national park. Guam's military importance has always been theoretical, but as part of Yhe chain of Amerjcan stepping stones, leading from California through the Hawaiian islands to the Philippines, Guam has also provided a handy landing place nnd relay station for cable lines across the Pacific, and a base for repairs and supplies for American vessels plying midway lanes. More than 1,100 miles of open water separate it from the Philippines while the ocean jump to Midway, nearest of ehe Hawaiian Islands,, is even greater some 1,700 miles. Guam's strategic value Is out of all proportion to its size and population. In area it' Is about three and a half times as large as Nantucket, having a length of less than 30 miles and an average width of about six miles. s Only 18,620 people, more than of whom are native Guamese, a people similar to the Filipinos. InThe oasis. habit this coral-reefepopulation, however. Is growing. It Jumped 40 per cent In the last decade. The Island of Guam was discovered on March 6. 1521, by Magellan, after a passage of three months and twenty days from the strait which bears his name. Raided by Magellan. The natives of Guam came to meet the Spaniards in strange flying praos" (canoes provided with outriggers and triangular sails of mats). The Spaniards had dropped anchor, furled tlielr sails, and were about to land, when It was discovered that a small boat which rode astern of the flagship was missing. Suspecting the natives of having stolen it, Magellan himself went ashore nt the head of a landing party of 40 armed men, burned 40 or 50 houses and many boats, and killed seven or eight natives, male and female. Jle then returned to his ship with themissin boat and Immediately set safl, continuing his course to the . westward. The natives did not fare much better at the hands of later visitors. Missionaries came In 1068. Though Guam lies withirt the trop-Icits climate is tempered throughout the greater part of the year hy a brisk trade wind Mowing from the northeast nnd east. Ift mountains are not high enough to cause marked differences in the distribution of rain on the island, and the Island Is not of sufficient extent to cause the daily alternating currents of air known as land and sea breezes, generally speaking, the seaVhns conform in a measure with those of Manila, the least rain fallihg In the colder months or the periods called winter by the natives, and the greater rainfall occurring in the warm months, which are called summer by the natives. Though the mean monthly temperature varies only 2 degrees on either side of the mean annual temperature, of Guam are so yet the winters definitely marked that certain wasps which during the summer make their nests In the open fields among the bushes Invade the houses of the people at that season and hibernate there. . The forest vegetation of Guam consists almost entirely of strand trees, epiphytal ferns, lianas, and a few unThe majority of the dershrubs. species are included In what Schimper has called the Barringtonia formation. The principal trees are the wild fertile breadfruTt; the Indian almond; and. the giant banyan. How They Catch Fish. The fruit of another common tree (Barringtonia speciosa) the natives use to stupefy fish. The' fruit is pounded into a paste, Inclosed in a bag, and kept 0"eTTJiht. The time of an especially low tide Is selected, and bags of the pounded fruit are taken but on the reef next morning and sunk In certain deep holes in the reef. The fish soon appear at the surface, some of them lifeless, others attempting to swim, or faintly struggling with their ventral side uppermost. The natives scoop them in their hands, sometimes even diving for them. Nothing more jgjyiking could be Imagined than the picture presented by the conglomeration of - strange shapes and bright colors snakelike 6ea eels, voracious lizard fishes, gar-lik- e houndfishes, with their jaws prolonged into a sharp beak ; long snouted trumpet fishes, flounders, porcupine fish, bristling with spines; squirrel fishes of the brightest and most beautiful colors scarlet, rose color and Eilver, and yellow and blue; parrot fishes, with large scales, parrotlike mid-Pacifi- c nine-tenth- d beaks, and intense colors, some of them a deep greenish blue, others looking as though painted with blue and pink opaque colors; variegated Chaetodons, called sea butterflies" by the natives; trunkfishes with horns and armor, leopard-spottegroupers, hideous-lookinwarty toadflshes, armed with poisonous spines, much dreaded by the natives, and a black fish with a spur on Its forehead. In the mangrove swamps when the tide Is low hundreds of little fishes with protruding eyes may be seen hopping about In the mud and climbing among the roots of the Rhizophora and Bruguiera. These belong to a group o (fishes Interesting from the fact that their air bladder has assumed In a measure the function of lungs, enabling the animal to breathe atmospheric air. Natives of Good Appearance. The natives of Guam are, as a rule, of good physique and pleasing Owing to their mixed appearance. blood, their complexion varies from the white of .a Caucasian to the brown of a Malay. Most of them have glossy black hair, which Is either straight or slightly curly. It Is worn short by the men and long by the women, either braided, coiled, or dressed after the styles prevailing In Manilas Though the natives of Guam arei naturally Intelligent and quick to learn, little was done for their education until comparatively recent. years. The college off San Juan de Letran was founded by Queen Maria Anna of Austria, wjdow of Philip IV, who settled upon It- - an annual endowment of 3,000 pesos. Through misappropriation and dishonesty the annual income of the college .gradually dwindled to about 1,000 pesos. The greater part of this was absorbed by the rector, who was usually. thajyiest stationed at Agand, and by the running expenses of the school, which were tlm subsistenee and wages paid to Janitor, porter, steward, doctor, and the lighting of the building. The people are essentially agricultural: There are few master's and few servants on the island. As a rule the farms are not too extensive to bq cultivated hy the family, all of whom, even the little children, lend a hand. Often the owners of neighboring farmsf work together In cemmunal fashion,, one day on As corn, the next day on P.s, and so on, laughing, singing, and skylarking at their work and stopping whenever they feel st inclined to take a drink of tuba from a bamboo vessel hanging to a neighboring coconut tree. Each does his share without constraint, nor will he Indulge so freely in tuba as to Incapacitate himself for work, for experience has taught the necessity of temperance, and every one must do his share if the services are to be'reciprocaL In the evening they seperate, each going to his own rancho to feed his. bullock, pigs and chickens; After a good supper they lie down for the night on a pandanus mat spread over an elastic platform. of split bamboo. . All Raise Crops. None of the natives depends fo f his livelihood . on. his handiwork or on trade alone. There are men who can make shoes, tan leather, anc cut stone for building.purpos, bdt such a thing as a Chamorro, shoemaker, tanner, stone 'mason, or merchant who supports his family by his trade Is unknown. In the mitfst of building a stone wall the man who has consented to help do the work will probably sa.v, Excuse me. Senor, but I must go to my rancho for three ob four days ; the weeds are getting ahead of my corn. And when lime Is needed the native to whom 6ne is directed may say, "After I have finished gathering my coconuts for copra I will get my boys to cut wood and gather limestone to make a kiln. Never fear, Senor, you shall have your lime within six weeks. On one occasion a blacksmith was delayed two weeks In making a plow owing to the fact that the man from whom he got his charcoal had been so busy supplying visiting vessels with fruits and vegetables that he could not find time to burn it. Agana, the seat of government and principal town. Is about eight miles from Apra harbor, a fine anchorage but closed to all foreign jshipsiGuam is a lonely spot, seeing only an occasional army or navy transport, the mail steamer, and a few American commercial ships. Tourists are unknown. The official currency of tho island Is that of. the United States, but the old Spanish code of laws, slightly modified, still is effective. English, Spanish nnd native languages are spoken. The schools are conducted in English. The principal exports are copra and coconut oil. The governor of the island, a naval officer appointed by the President, takes precedence over and Is entitled to the honors due to an admiral. d |
