TAMING THE BLACKS.
Success at Last in Wild New Guinea. LONDON. July 12. A graphic description of the progress of the task of pacifying the hinterland of New Guinea was given by Mr E. W. P. Chinnery, Government Anthropologist. In a lecture to the Royal Anthropological Institute, he announced that the latest reports indicated that success was at last beginning to attend the efforts among t.he Kuku-Kuku, the fiercest and bravest warrior tribe. Mr Chinnery showed numerous pictures taken in the newly-discovered Ramu and Purari plateaus, illustrating various types of natives and unique methods of agriculture, and said that anthropological research there sh'ould be amply repaid in contributions to cultural knowledge. The credit for the discoveries belonged jointly to missionaries, miners and Government officials, especially the Leahy brothers and Messrs Taylor, Penglase and M’Carthy.
