"It Is one of the loveliest islands of the Par Esat. and was named Ilha For mosa, or Beautiful Island, by early Portuguese explorers. "It Is divided Into two strikingly different replons by a mountain range that runs like a backbone down Its middle. The mountains which rise to 13.075 feet above sea level In Mt. NUtaka iMt.

"Because of the warm, moist cli mate, the mountains are clothed with thick forests of valuable timber, prized for building Japan's battle ships and temples.

"To the west, the land slopes gently down to the ea in terraces and fertile plains well suited to the raising of rice. tea. sweet potatoes, and sugar cane. Over half of Tai wan's population of nearly 5,000.000 is enaged in agriculture. Two-thirds of the island's tea crop Is the fa miliar Formosa oolong, shipped chief ly to America. The rest Is the highly scented Pouchong variety consumed largely In the east. "Life in Taiwan Is not as peace ful as It appears on the surface. Although the recent earthquake was the most severe that has shaken the island since 1908, when nearly 1500 lives were lost, earthquakes are all too common on the island, which lies in an 'earthquake zone.' During the 24 yeara ending in 1932, over j 7000 earthquakes have been regls ! tered In Taiwan and the neighbor ing seas. Henri hunter Segregated. "Earthquakes are not the only dis asters which afflict this beautiful Island. Terrific typhoons sweep over it annually, frequently destroying sugar, tea and other crops; while in the rainy season, the short, swift rivers often flood the surrounding country.

In 1 ! the days of clipper ships, Taiwan, in the path of oriental commerce was i a bugbear to captains, for mariners, j ship-wrecked on the island, were i brutally murdered by the natives.

Progress was hindered by savage head-hunters who sallied forth from thatched mud-huts In mountain fastnesses to descend unexpectedly on unwary engineers, camphor gatherers, and rice planters. Their skulla made proud additions to the hunters' gruesome collections. "Japan began a strong campaign to keep the aborigines in check, segregating them by means of elec trified wire fences, many miles long. At first the head-hunters thwarted Japanese plans by dipping under the fences, or short circuiting them. As the need for more tlmberland grew, i the fences were ndvnncod. driving the savages inland. Today the prac tice of head-hunting Is rapidly dying out. The aborigines are attending schools, accepting medical attention and learning to cultivate rice, and to raise silkworms and cattle. "The area that bore the brunt of the earthquake is located north of Talchu, a city of 42.000 in the heart of the rice growing district in the western central part of Taiwan." it i 4 T 1 s- J! it " 4 Tft-r V .. ..V.
