Some awtlona of the fence are now churged with electric ity. The Japanoae who took the Island from the Chinese In 1SD3 have extended the barrier until the trlhw men are ahut off from rlvlllzutlon. Heavily guanled gntea at frequent In terrala permit the Mvagea to trade with the Formoanna but no aavage la allowed to come Into the "foreign" territory and bo 'foreigner" la al lowed to enter the aaraget' domain without apeclal permlmlon of the Jap anese police and well armed guard.

When there are no victim within eany reach of the village the ardent awaln goes to the borderland of civilisation, sometimes digging bl way nnder or climbing over the fence. The first person who crosses hi pntb la hi victim. Falling In this, he may attack a member of a neighboring tribe. It la to common for a Chinaman liv ing near the savage hordr to lose III head that little attention la paid to the Incident online his relations band together to avenge the murder. Freshly severed head must be dis played at various eavage festivals, re ligious rite and on other occasion too numerous for the aufety of the Formosans. Since the Japanese have owned Formosa, towna more modern thnn those In Japan and China have boon built schools established, harbor Im proved, and a rnllrond built nearly the entire length of the Island. Now there art approximately f,txn),x0 u. habitant. More than three-fourth of them are native who are of Chinese extraction or an admixture of Chinese and aborigines. The aborigine num ber about 81,000. The remainder of the population li made up of Jap anese and foreigner. Tnlhokn, the capital, lying 18 mile Inland from the port of Keelung, hna been called the most modern city of the Japanese empire. Wide, well paved alreets, fine parks, largo hnnd aome government building and a bo tanlcnl garden give It more of a West ern than an orlentnl npnenrnnce. For bnsy city of 180.000 Inhabitant, It la unusually qnlet There are no treed cars, and automobile trnflle I not yet large enough to disturb the population. Hundred of Jlnrlklshn are propelled through the alreets by Formosan "chauffeurs" In spotlessly clean whit uniform and large pic turesque mushroom hnts. Save for the pltter-pattor of their aoft shoes as they carefully transport their fares, and the occasional rumble of a heavy wooden-wheeled enrt, one hoar only the slng-iong of oriental tongue. Jnpnnese orderliness marks every move of the Formosuua. All through the civilised portion of the Island one notice the effect of Japanese govern ment From the window of the train all the way from Talhoku to Tallinn, the old Chinese capital near the southern end of the Island, the travel er sees mile of flooded rice fields In the lowland while higher land I ays tematlcnlly planted to augur cane, tea, sweet potatoes and tobacco. Fur ther bark toward the hills, camphor tree vie with huge bamboo. Men and women work aide by aide In the Adds. Itecnuse of their loose fitting garments and mushroom hats, one cannot detect the aex of the worker at a distance. Ita Product Are Large. Although thousands of mile of the Island have scarcely bven touched by civilisation, In a recent year Formosa produced approximately S.OuO.iSK) bushels of rice, 2.",,ik) tons of sugar, U'.Oiio tons of tea, l.Ono.OW tone of coal, 3,otio tons of camphor, and 6.000 tona of camphor oil. 1'etroleum, gold, silver, copper, Jute, opium, tobacco and Milt also are Important product. Opium I sold only to eld licensed smokers and the number of user Is reduced each year. Among the na tives both men and women smoke to bacco In long-stemmed bamboo pi I- and many chew betel nut The need for new sources of cam phor baa been one of the principal cause for the development of the Island. When the tree on the civil ized side of the boundary fence have been leveled and auppllc dlmlulah, the fence Is moved bsck Into savage territory; for the constant demand for the product Is too great to await the maturity of new tree that the Japanese have recently planted. This gradual encroachment on the savage domain and the plan to penetrate cer tain parts of the Interior with roads and railroads, sliould bring the entire Wand under Japanese -control In few years.. Peril of Camphor Worksrs. Many of the camphor stations are nesr the head hunters' district While the Japanese are bringing the savage more under control each year, and a heavy guard Is constantly on duty among the workers, raids on these stations are not uncommon occur rencee. The huge trees are felled and then chipped with a acoopllke rutting Instrument. When small cars, that the worker push on a narrow gauge track, are filled, the load I consigned to a camphor, at 111 where the cutting' ore transformed Into pnre camphor by boiling process., Attached to the still bamboo pipes take oft the cam phor oil. - A large quantity of the world production of camphor of which about three-fourth come from For mosa, I used In the manufacture of celluloid, perfume and drugs. A I the case with ninny of the largnr In dustrie of Formosa, the Japanese government baa a monopoly of the camphor business and dictate It own price by which the product I purchased from the .Individual pro ducers.

For clothe they wear a. single piece of cloth thnt reaches from their armpit to their knee, arour.J their lilpa I a huge knlfo encased In a tsmboo aenbhard, and some of them carry bow and ar row to assist them In their head hunting activities. Most of them are tattooed with blue substance, that adds to their al ready uncomely feature.

Instead of using a hook and line, the savage throw a narcotic fluid Into the water, which i tuplfle the fish and cause them ta float on the surface. Then, In their hnme-madtt craft of bamboo trees lashed together, they collect their catch.
