A youthful amateur geologist found an

axe hend on Lantan last week which ia estimated to be 2,000-8,000 years old. It is difficult to pince an accurate date on the axe head, but it is be- lieved to have been used in the Neolithic or Paleolithic Ages. While walking along a path in the Tai Pak

region of Lantao, 11-year old Carl G.-- Gruzhit saw a piece of stone lying on the path. "It did not look natural, so I picked it up,” he said this morning.. This intelligent young American boy be- come interested in stores when he first come to the Colony about a year ago. This interest was kept alive because an expert geologist lives next door to him.

Carl has a flair for picking up strange

stones. He found a piece of petrified · wood in a desert in New Mexico while visiting a, missionary there.
