The Isle of ~ Frankincense

With deference to a cable report of cannibalism in the island of Eocotra, the National Geographic Society. has issued the following siJa-temenls:

“Scotrs, isolated island off the north-eastern point of Africa, where a lighthouaeiieeper is rumor. ed to have been the victim of cﬂllllillﬂll. has always been

"For it is the ‘Isle of Frank- incense’ from which one came most of the pleasant aromatic gum burn- ed as incense in the churches and temples of both the West-and the East. It is even possible that one of the gifts of the Magi to -the In- fant Jesus came from Soctra, for in the past the island was almost the sole source of this highly prlz~

They were at one time qhristlans, but since the seventeenth century have been Mohamniedans. They are ruled by s Sultan under British protection. Nor is the island small; it is near- ly half as large Ias Crete 0r Porto Rico.

“Socotra is not often visited by Westerners, bu-t this is rather be- cause of the religious jealousy of the Sultan than because of any danger from the natives. The latter were described a few years ago by ii visitor writing for the National Geographic. Society as ‘a kindly folk, hospitable and quite harm- less.’ "

Continuing, he wrote: "Hadibo, the capital, of Tamarida, as the Arabs call it, from Lamar, the date- fruit tree, is a collection of flat- roofed white houses scattered among the palms.

Palace Made of Mud.

"The Sultan's ‘palace’ is a large mud structior with flat towers, and the prayer houses are suggestive of the graceful Arab mosques only by contrast. The poorer population, chiefly of African descent and much older in the history of the island than its Arab aristocracy, lives in huts of thorn and paint-er grass, invariably overrun with luxuriant gourd vines. “Surrounded by tiny garden plots, in which tombac, or native

I “Nothing could be iovelier than 'the sight of slender Socotran cattle grazing knee-deep among the grasses and palm branches that line the banks of_ the lagoons near illladibo.

mountain caves, and the ruling class is Arab. -

"The language is distinct in it- self. though possessing many

Arabic and Mahri words. It has a wondrous wealth of gurges and im- possible noises in the throat. There are no words for horse or dog. be- cause these animals are not found on the island.

DEPODID OALIPH OF ISLAM

Crown Prince Abdul Medjiii, who has been deposed from the high office of Caliph of lslam, to which he was elected in November. 1922, is a son of former Sultan Adbul Alli, and a cousin of the de- posed Silitan Mohammad Vl., and is 56 years old.

He is described as learned in let- ters and literature. a patron of the arts, an accomplished printer and composer of music. He has always been closely ‘identified with the Nationalist movement. and is credited with a strong will. At the time of his election as friends said he would not be con- tent to remsinmereiy as religious head oflslaln, but would insist upon exercising temporal powers.

He has only one wife and has lived modestly and quietly, hot mingling in olitics. He has s daughter an a son, the latter married to s daughter of Mohamm- ed Vl., the deposed Sultan. _
