T'VSCUSSING the Easter Island statues in a lecture in Sydney on October 26, Mr. Karl Kaeppel said that they all would have disappeared by erosion in another 1000 years. He added that at present only four museums in the world housed Easter Island statues. He said that the hieroglyphic script tablets found on the island had never been deciphered, but good work had been done by German research workers, and it was probable that they would solve the mystery, if anyone did.

Fiji Mission. He was accompanied by Mrs. Hooper.
