Fijian Fire-Walkers.
From the London Daily News.
Fijian feet can endure more terrible con
tact than the blow of a hard-hit cricket
ball. There is a Fijian tribe which might
make the fortune of an entrepreneur en
terprising enough to bring them over to the
Crystal palace or the Westeminster aqua
rium. They are called the Fire-Walkers.
About once a year they give on the island
of M'Buya, about twenty-two miles from
Sava, the Fijian capita!, what must be one
of the most extraordinary exhib'tions in
the world. Ib a forest glade about a quar
ter of a mile from the shore a hole is dug
in the ground,about twenty-five feet wide
and six feet deep. Flat stones are spread
over its bottom and wood piled on them
and set alight. When the stones are red
hot the burning logs are dragged away,
the stones carefully made to lie as evenly
as possible, and nil flames extinguished.
A party of tribesmen, garlanded with
green leaves, then descend into the pit and
deliberately walk over the glowing stones
in procession. Their bare feet are not
burnt or even made hot. The dispaly takes
place under the eyes of spectators, native
and European. This year a steamer was
actually advertised in Australia to take
visitors to witness the spectacle.

Yaelitft Determined to Wipe Out
“Spookts" Victory of Lust Year.
Eastern and Western Cracks.
New York, Jan. 21.—While the major
ity of yachtsmen seek the ruddy hearth
fire during the winter months and sigh
for summer's return, there is a race for
hardy sailors who exult in Jack Frost’s
piping gales as find as much pleasure in
ice boating as do their brethren in lan
guid summer cruising. The winter sport
is constantly' growing in popularity, and
bids fair to soon number as mnny devot
ees as its marine rival.
Already the ice sailors’ season is well un
der way, and ’33 promises to be n memo
rable year in the history of the sport.
The western states, Canada and the At
lantic seaboard are each testing the speed-
iest racing- craft, and ere the ice breaks
up the question of superiority will be set
tled.
In the East the season practically open
ed with the new /ear, and IS9& found hun
dreds of fleet racers spinning over the fa
mous New York courses. The Hudson
river, Orange Lake and the Shrewsbury
have afforded excellent sailing since that
time, and the merits of new boats are
now well determined. Canadian and
Western clubs have been even more for.
lunate, as their lakes cougealed two weeks
before the Eastern waters. Still, matters
are equalized by the fact that the Eastern
yachtsmen have been less hindered by
snow.
The trophy which will reward the sea
son’s fastest flyer is an old, tattered oen
najit that for seventeen years has served
as the goal of every ice sailor’s ambition.
Canada and the West look with longing
eyes uiion this emblem of,supremacy, and
are planning to capture it wPh th-ur fleet
craft. Several Canadian racers are jure
to he seen on the ice-bound waters of (lie
Hudson ore long, and the intended invad
ers feel confident of bearing home the cov
eted prize. Out on Lake I’epina, a widen
ing of the Mississippi river on its way
through Wisconsin, n fleet of speedy boats
is racing, and the fastest product of West

against both Easterners and Canadians,
making a triangular race of exceptional
interest.
The meeting of American and CanaJl in
racers on the Hudson will not Ik- the flrst
time the two nations have come together
in this branch of sport. Two years ago
the Kingston Yacht Club offered a hand
some silver challenge cup. The Canadian
critics carefully compared the merits of
the different native yachts and settled upon
a winner, but the American Ruth upset
all their calculations by showing a clean
pair of heels to the swiftest of their fleet.
Last year the Spook of Cape Vincent,
N. Y., repeated the trick, and proved con
clusively the superiority of the Amcri an
model over that used across the border.
The Kingston sportsmen are stout-heart
ed, and, despite double defeat, will make
another effort to recover the cup.
Among the Hudson river boats available
to meet the Britisher are the Spook, last
year’s victor; Ruth, Flirt and several oth
ers of almost equal speed. Even if the
Cape Vincent craft should bo worsted, the
Orange Lake and Shrewsbury Club* have
an even superior array of flyers with
’ which to vanquish the Kingston cham
pion.
The Western racers are an unknown
quantity. The Irene, winner of the North
western championship two years ago; the
Serious, holder of the Wisconsin cup, and
the Reindeer, are the speediest of the lot,
and will compete in trials, this winter,
for the honor of challenging the Eastern
cracks. Irene and Reindeer are particu
larly fast and able, and many believe equal
to anything the East can produce.
The past few years have shown great
Improvements in the ice yacht. Of late,
designers have realized that an Ice-boat
sails faster on an even keel than with the
windward runner five feet aloft, and wood
en racing craft are far better balanced
than the old type of yacht. The old-timers
were also oversparred, and the rigging lias
been simplified to good advantage.
A large majority of boats are sloop-rig
ged. The lateen sail plan Is also used to
some extent, with, here and there, a cat
to break the monotony.
A peculiar fact about the ice yacht is
that it never runs squarely before the
wind. Jib sheets are given little play, and
mainsails flattened, for were the wind put
directly astern, the boat would run out,
and sail be taken aback so suddenly as
to wrench the rigid frame and spill the
occupants unless thqy were lashed In the
cockpit. Joseph 3. Mulroney.

Tills is the question which nas been
uppermost lr. the French mind for the
past two weeks, and which has been the
cause of the most expensive trial ever
conducted by the French court martial.
~"r .L,"'
It Is doubtful if the question ever
bo satisfactorily settled, as there are
those who will side with Esterhazy and
other* who will follow Dreyfus through
any fortunes.
If guilty, the Captain has been pun
ished enough, many believe,by the peculiar
character of his Imprisoment since
and if Innocent they say he is the great
est martyr of modern times.
It Is on* of the most puzzling questions

Aaron Burr controversy of our country.
