W. Reed, graduate students of Yale university, who lived for seven months among a small primitive tribe of less than 400 persons in a mountain range far up the Sepik river. Spankings and rewards are the jasis of child discipline among these primitives, the Yale investigators discovered, but early in life the child learns to recognize a word of praise or a scolding as an Here is a replica of the Mt.

The completion of this giant eye, which can photograph stars only a millionth as bright as any that can be seen by the unaided human eye, brings to a total of at least 40 the number of telescopes of two feet in diameter or more now in use in the world. The McDonald observatory telescope is the second largest in the world in actual use at present, being exceeded only by the telescope at Mount Wilson observatory, Pasadena, Calif.

The tribe still hunt human heads and Doctor Whiting participated in a spear dance which the natives performed before setting out on a raid against a neighboring tribe. No male is accepted as being fully adult and manly unless he has accomplished the feat of spearing an enemy and bringing back his head as a trophy, Doctor Whiting said. The tribe live on the produce of their yam gardens, the boiled pith of the sago palm, and the roasted meat of the wild pig. Snakes and THE OTERfUL CHERUB I like Pond.

Astronomers nowadays seldom look through their large telescopes. They do most of their exploring of the heavens by photographing sections of the sky.

Britain Mans Old Fortress On Alderney s Second Gibraltar In Mid-Chann- Lies el, Nearer France. by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. WNU Service. Prepared Already tagged as a second Gibraltar is Alderney, of the English channel islands, as reports from London indicate that plans are under way to fortify this little island which is closer to the coast of France than to the coast of England. Sixty miles from England at its nearest point, less than ten miles from the Normandy shore, Alderney was once described by Napoleon lands as shield. During the onic wars and after, it was and expensively militarized British, who also launched EngNapole- heavily by the consid- erable construction on a great breakwater that was to make the isles principal harbor safe for the British fleet.

On the other side of the island, some seven miles west, is the still greater hazard of the Cas-qurocks on which many a ship has gone down. Swinburne, the English poet, once wrote a poem called Les Casquettes, which described a storm battering at the rocks and mentioned a girl, who, it is claimed, actually did live there. Fortresses Still Usable. Adding to the grim look of the island are the old forts and military works, most of which have long been dismantled.
