THE CHINA MAIL.

EASTER ISLAND MYSTERY.

No confirmation has been received ut the Chilean Legation in London of the senzational New York raport that BaatorIeland-the lonely Pacifia inland of mystery 2,000 miles off the coast of Chile-has been swallowed up in the recent earthquake disturbances,

The Legation is anxiously awaiting further news.

Easter Island is one of the world's mysteries.

Its gigantic statues, carved out of volcanic rock and cover ing the island, are a complete puzzle to the are! acologista,

The origin of the few remaining cative inbabitants is obscure, and the island itself is believed by some to be the only remaining pertion of an old cantinent named "Lemuria," which occupied the Parific and Indian oceano, and which like Atlantis, was submerged by the ocean.

THEOSOPHIST THEORY. This theory is not accepted by the scientists, but is sufficiently pictures que tu deserve notice. Throrophiste claim that the existence of Lemuria bas been revealed by occult meats, and that the wold at that epoch was inhabited by beings who were travel. fing for the fourth time through the round of the planets and undergoing for the third time their accessary reven incarrations.

At the beginning of this epoch, say the Theosophisle, man first evolved into a sexual being, and was in the end highly civilised.

·

Mrs. Score by Routledge, who, with her husband, vicited Easter Teland in 1914 at the instance of Sir Hercules Read, and Captain T, A. Joyce, of the British Musrum, will have nothing to do with this theory.

CONNECTION WITH BURIAL.

The majority of the figures balong to the akus" or burial places, and the problem of the disposal of the dead (Mrs. Routledge says) "Was solved by neither earth burial nor creination but by means of the omni- present stones which were built up to make a last resting place for the drported."

At the head of the akus are these stone mager: although many mors were found in the island which had no apparent connection with a tomb, There is to equivalent anywhere for the akos and their age and origin is an unsolved problem.

The figures were cu from rock from the crater of Rano Karraka, the greatest of a number of extinct volcanoes on the island. which has now the appearance of a huge quarry. Stove tools were apparently used,
