By dint of a few glasses of grog an Enquirer man infused a little sociability into this chunk df John Bullism, and found in him a man who bad visited a part of tho world that to civilized people is an unknown and ltd- explored region. Ho had cruised three years on an exploring expedition to the islands of Now Britain and tho duko of York, which lie- in tho Pacific ocean, cast of New Guinea and northeast of Australia. These islands aro inhabited by natives, who ore cannibals of the worst description, and who aro so hos tile to white men that missionaries and traders have been aliko murdered, chopped up t cooked and eaten by them. “How did you got out into that country?” “Why, I was laid up in Australia, and striking Sydney, which is quite a place, I shipped abroad a small vessel ot fifteen tons burden, but small as it was it was big enough for the reefs and dangers we went through.’’' “They aro terrible flesh-otters, are they not?” “Yes, no doubt of that. Tbr.yhankei after white man’s flesh. They have f. chief who has two assistants; one is a talking man and tho other a butcher. The first fellow docs the talking—praises up the chief—and the latter docs the killing and cutting up. Thoy never eat tho head, and thoy lot the entails severely alone. The log and arm bones of men who are their enemies thoy put in the butt end of their spears, for tho natives lielieve that when this is dono it gives them tho strength of the man whose bones they carry. Then, again, they think it makes them safe against any wounds which the eaten man’s relatives might.inflict.” "Hqw do they cure wounds when they aro inflicted—by medicine men, like the Indians?” “On, no. They have surgeons, and their instrument are queer enough. Why, they cut off a man’s leg with a pieco of obsidian.” “And what’s obsidian!” “Something that comes out of volca noes. Then they uso a shark’s tooth and a picco of glass. Now take a broken arm. I’ve seen a native surgeon t.*eat such a case. He goes to work and cuts the flesh to tho bones, thon draws the bones into position and puts a piece of bamboo to keep tho bono in place, and then binds tho wound up. “What becomes of the bamboo—stays in tho wound?” “Oh, no. It works out after a time, and the wound heals yp.” “What medicines do they uso?” “O, thoy bJocd for everything. If a man has got tho headache they cut gashes in the skill and let tho blood flow, and then stop it with burned lime.” “Have they any religion—any ideas about a future state?” “That’s hard to say. I don’t think thoy have any idea of a God that now exists, but they have got some rude ideas about a suporior being that lived at sorno reraoto poriod. Oho of them once told me, pointing to the mountains and valleys with which the island abounded: ‘A big nig rooted them up, and down and niailo thorn.’ But they have queer ideas about their dead friends, arc very superstitious on the subject, l'or instance, thoy say they lmvo a good or bad influence on them, and that they go across tho water to the moon and then to the stars, which thoy consider lamps in tho sky to guide them.” “But how do they get there?” “In their canoes, by water. Thoy think tho ocean, some way, is connected a way off with tho skies.” “How aro tho dead buried?” ‘That depends upon how important they are. If thev aro of littlo import ance, they aro placed in a sitting p03 turo on a reef at low water, where they will, when tho tido rises, bo carried off by sharks, but generally they are placed in a ennoo and buried under ground. ” “IIow about tho chiefs?” “Then they havo a timo. His body is laid in his canoe, surrounded by scented herbs. His relatives givo a great feast and ask in all tho neighboring chiefs. Tho mourners give each visitor a fathom of taboo, Tho body is covered with co- coauut mats and raised to its resting K in tho forked branches of trees. dancing begins, and lasts for sev eral nights.

Regarding an “olectrical rainbow," Mr. B. S. Nowall, ot Forendene, than writes to The Nature: “I was ono of a deputation of Itiver Tyne commissioners who visited the Booth Foreland to ice tho experimental lights now on trial there. We were walking across tho field from tho lights toward the observii hut No. 2, a distance of about a ml audahalf. There was a fog, more or less, and a shower of rain as wo were approaching tho hut, and every time the electric light from ‘A’ tower rovolvod n rainbow, very like a faint lunar bow, made its nppcarance.
