Show Wireless Set Made Congo Village Fetish One of uiy last recollections before my illness (from heat stroke in the Congo) was of a little forest village where on unmistakable imitation of a large and complete wireless telegraph apparatus appeared to have been set up across the little clearing, Capt. J. E. T. Phillips writes in the London Review Re-view of Reviews. It was a most Imposing sight as it towered over the squat mud huts of the little savage settlement. All the auxiliary aux-iliary paraphernalia had been faithfully faith-fully reproduced. It transpired that the chiefs brother had made a classic journey down eoun-try eoun-try to see the great metropolis of Stanleyville. Stan-leyville. He had heard much talk among the native soldiers of the new wireless then being erected there and of its air-borne mysteries. Ti:e lofty masts and aerials remained Imprinted on his memory. On his return the villagers were ao Impressed by his report which doubtless doubt-less lost nothing In the telliDg that they set to work to establish a very flj imitation as a potent tutelary fetish. |
