S ome ra i 1 ro ids , bridges, harbor works and hlghwiys already have been completed and others are in the process of construc tion, which will make possible the development of one of the largest, yet least known. Island in the world "Only New Ouiana, Borneo and Greenland can boast an aree greater than Madagascar's 241.000 square miles," saya a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographlcsoclety. "La Grande He, as the French call it, lies about 300 miles off the east coast of Africa, opposite the Portuguese 'l ony of Mozambique. , Village Becomes Seaport. "A high, barren plateau, edged with cliffs, rises in the central part of the island. Towering above the pla teau are huge mountain masses. Th3 largest Is the ancient, extinct volcano Ankaratra, one of whose peaks Is named 'That Which the Mists Can not Climb.' The highest point in the Island Is Amboro. which has en ele vation of 9.490 feet. "Low, steaming plains circle the highlands and slope to the sea. On the east coast they form a narrow, marshy strip that follows the straight, unbroken shoreline. A string of la goons and coral reefs protect the few harbors from the dangerous siirf of the Indian Ocean. One of the projects of the new public works pro gram is a deep-water harbor on the east coast at Monakara, which until a few years ago was an insignificant native village. A railroad is beinj built to connect It with the town of Flanarantsoa In the Interior, and nearby swamps are being drained for rice and coffee plantations. QUETTA 'QOAKE SURVIVORS REACH LONDON 5 4f Survivors of the great Quetta, India, earthquake, which killed 26,000, these youngsters arrived In Lon don and were greeted by a British soldier.

(Associated Press Photo) "Besides rice and coffee, Madagas car produces vanilla, cocoa, spices, rubber, sugar, millet, maize, cotton and tobacco, as well as cattle, pL?s, sheep and goats. But rice Is the staple crop. Two pounds of rice n day are only ordinary rations for ! working man. Though agriculture is the Island's chief Industry. farmLia; methods are still primitive. The laud Is tilled by hand with long-handled spades. Then oxen tread the soft mud to harrow it. "The northwest coast, where the mountains often reach into the aeri, Is deeply Indented." The port. Dlego- Suarez, has one of the finest natural harbors in the world. It was the first port annexed by the French, and serves as a naval base and chief com mercial port of the Island. "The coastal plains are much wider on the west than on the east. Th: j rivers too "are longer and several, are I navigable for some 'distance Inland, j A new suspension bridge across ttw Betslboka, largest river on the island, enables motorists to travel over gojd roads all the way from the west coast port of Majunga to the capital. Tan anarive, in the eastern highlands. "Modern transportation Is finally displacing the awkward filanzana, once the principal means of travel In Madagascar. The filanzana Is not a particularly comfortable convey ance, n is a sort of ichair or ham mock slung between two poles, end carried by four porters who are us ually of assorted sizes. Eight men accompany each chair, so that the bearers can change every five min utes. "There Is a geological theory ftiat Madagascar was once part of a lare continent reaching as far as India. Volcanic activity accompanying the sinking of this continent might ex plain the lava covering the Ankarata mountains, and the numerous hot springs that make such resorts as Antflrabe famous. This vanished and hypothetical continent has been chrlAtened Lemur ta from the 37 species of lumurs still to be found on Madagascar. Lemur, which means 'ghost' in Malagasq, is the native name for these little oat-like crea tures with round, staring eyes that shine in the dark. "The native tribes ((Malagasy) are not related In any way to African races, but seem to be derived from Melaneslan and Mayalo-Polynesian stock. How they ever reached Mada gascar Is a mystery. Arab traders of the ninth century and African slaves brought over from the mainland wtre the only foreign elements until the sixteenth century when a Portuguese. Dlojjo Diaz, 'discovered' the island. Despite frequent attempts of the Dutch and French to gain a foot hold, the native government kept Its power and Independence until 1804 Then the French Invaded the island, and declared it a French colony. "Madagascar's climate varies ac cording to altitude. The coastal lands are hot and unhealthy, but towns on the high plateau have cool air and moderate temperatures. The country m the extreme south Is semi -arid and rather like the American southwest "Vegetation agrees with the cli mate. Thick forests follow the coast line. Mahogany, ebony, rosewood and sandalwood that lured Arab traders: rnfla palm, beef wood, tamarind, man go and Madagascar spices grow luxuriantly." Flaming Gasoline Death for Newsie CHICAGO, July 19.
