Prehistoric
Monster" NB of the most remarkable
scientific discoveries ever
made has jiibt been report-
ed by an expedition of Brit-
ish scientists.
In the wildtj of New
Guinea, the great unex-
plored island just north of
A u s t ralla,
these scien-
tists h a v e
run across a
marvelous race of pigmies
whose average height is about
four feet three inches, and a
monster mammal, considerably
larger than an elephant, which
they have named the gazeka,
and which has seemingly
wrought great havoc amongst
the pigmies.
Just what species the gaze-
ka belongs to has not yet been
determined, but in the descrip-
tion given by the explorers. Dr.
W. D Matthew, of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural His-
tory, sees a strong resemblance
to a prehistoric monster known
as the dlprodont, fos-
sil remains of which
have been found at dif-
ferent times through-
out Australia.
The expedition was
sent out by a commit-
tee appointed by
the British Orni-
thologist's union
to explore t h e
great Snow
m o u n t a i n s in
Dutch New Guin-
ea, and consists
of s e v e r a l fa-
mous scientists, headed by
the naturalist.
The expedition landed at the mouth of the
Mimika river, on the south coast of Dutch New
Guinea, in the early part of the >ear. and at once
pushed into the interior. While ascending the
Snow mountains, at an elevation of about 2,00u
feet, the explorers came upon the tribe of pig-
mips, which are said to belong to tha" division
si the human race known as the Negritos.
The importance of this discover;* to anthro-
pologists can hardly be overestimated, because
t has always been a subject of controversy
among the scientists as to whether Negritos ex-
isted in the Papuan islands
The -New Guinea savages, or Papuans, as they
are called, are comparatively well known, but
they are a very different kind of men to the pig-
mies just discovered. The typical Papuan Is
much taller than the average European, often at-
taining a height of seven feet, and Is strongly
built. The color of the skin varies from deep
chocolate to nearly black. The POSP is large
ind prominent, and a nose bar of shell, bone or
;vood is usually thrust through it. Both men and
women go about entirely naked. Their houses
are generally built on piles, and. as in Borneo,
ire often communal and of very large size, many
families occupying one building, which may be
as much as 700 feet long. Then there are re-
•narkable houses built in trees and known as
"dobbos." but these are used only to escape their
inemies. Cannibalism prevails among the Pa-
ouans. although it is by no means unl/ersal.
The NVjcrltos. on the other hand, which here-
tofore have been thought to occupy only the
Andaman islands, in th<> Bay of Bengal, the
northern portion of the Malay peninsula and the
Philippine islands, are characteristically short,
no adult standing over four feet -six Inches, while
th« wom«c rarely exceed four ft—t. The average
height is about four ff-*-t threo inches.
The main features of this peculiar human
type, apart from th^ir dimlnutlvwness. ar« the
sxtraordinarlly dark color of their skin, which
approaches the color of a m-wly black^a-l^d

but The chances are that they flnd safety in

According to the official reports, the gazeka Is
of gigantic size and fearsome aspect. It Is black
and white striped, has the nose of a tapir and
"a face like the devil." Among the English In-
habitants of the Island, the animal Is known as
Monckton's gazeka. In honor of Mr. C. A. W.
Monckton, a former explorer In New Guinea, who
fJnrt repotted its presence in the mountains.

discovered the huge footprints and other indica-
tions of T,he very recent presence of some tremen-
dous monster that had evidently been prowling
on the grassy plains surrounding the lakes on
the summit at an elevation of about 12,500 feet.
He followed the trail all day. and came upon the
monster at dusk, just as it was devastating a
settlement of the pigmies. The little natives were
screaming and running for their lives, although
they turned every now and again to aim their
poisoned arrows at the brute.
Monckton let fire as soon as he was able to
get In a proper position, and the huge gazeka at
once turned upon him. As it reared upon its
hind legs and pawed the air it looked to the
h u n t e r as big as a house, standing fully 25 feet
high Two of Monckton's bullets seemed to take
effect, as a stream of blood flowed freely from
the animal's shoulder, but before Monckton was
ab!0 to reload the animal turned and fled. By
that time it was too dark to follow him, and
Monckton aev«r had another opportunity to
renew his pursuit
None of th« inhabitants was brave enough to
repeat Monckton's attempt to capture the brut<\
and until the British expedition reached New
Guinea he has prowled around with impunity, oc-

The British explorers were
of Monckton's experience,
and in fact, it is believed that one
of the principal objects of the
expedition was to secure a spe-
cimen of the strange monster. It
has long been known that there
were many mammals in New
Guinea still to be discovered, but
JUST what they expected to find the
scientists themselves could not
tell.
New Guinea lies to the east of
what is known as Wallace's line.
