In a London saleroom a Queen s chocolate box (full) fetched £2, and a Boer Mauser rifle £2 ss. An enevlope with fourteen Mafeking besieged stamps sold for thirteen guineas. In the valley of Kebas (Gerona), at the end of the Eastern Pyrenees, there exists a group of people called Nanos (dwarfs), who are not more than 4ft high. Their bodies are fairly well built, hands and feet small, shoulders and hips broad, making them apear more robust than they really are. Their features are so peculiar that there is no mistaking them among others. All have red hair; the face is as broad as long, with high . cheek bones, Btrongly developed jaws, and flat nose. Entirely without education, and without the chance of improving their condition they lead the life of pariahs.
