LARGEST TRIBE 'OF AFRICA. {The Fans of French Congo Be- lieved to Number 3,000,000. The Fans of West Africa living east of the Gaboon and between the Ogowe and Sanga rivers have long been sup {posed to be the Airican tripes. They are cannibals who for years opposed effort of the whites to ascend the Ogowe river. At last they permitted the French man de Brazza to explore thesriver.

As far east as longitude further from the part of the nine degrees east more or less clothing, they are almost wholly naked, of the men and women, however, wear ing a small square cloth which hangs irom a belt. De Prazza and other explorers told of women loading their ankles with copper rings that were so heavy as to make locomotion almost impos sible. Foret found this custom as far east as he travelled. The richer wo- men wear on their legs enormous cop per rings made by their own people, the weight of these ornaments often wounding the ankles and making it very difficult for them to walk. The western Fans have never very friendly to the they have a tendency to move into the neighborhood of the French stations in order that they may carry on a bar ter trade.
