The inhabitants of a vast region in the arid interior of Australia are still in the stone age and an effort is being made to keep them there. Sixty-five thousand square miles have been set apart as a sanctuary for the natives and no white men are allowed to enter the sanctuary. These natives fashion their rude weapons and implements of stone and wood and are entirely ignorant of the use of metal. Cannibalism is still in full force among the natives of the Everard ranges and they have to be constantly on the march to obtain food.
