ONE OF OUR BEST PAPlAN HELPERSThis man was a good collector and may be seen her f\T DOKEY, NEW CllXEAproudly displaying: his pay. A knife, a tin can, and a key on a string he was almost as proud of as of his splendid head of hair andthe decorated bone pin which he had thrust through his nose. New Guinea is the last greatarea remaining in the tropics which is still almost completely unknown. To be sure, its coastshave been, and are still, frequently visited, and settlements exi.st on parts of the island, butgreat stretches of seaboard still remain unmapped and all but a small part of the interior isa blank on our charts. Its length is about 1.400 miles and its maximum breadth is 430 miles.Its area is greater than that of Borneo, being about 300,000 .siiuare miles.— Photo hij ThomasBarbour, Harvard University.
