THsSKING on SHIPBoARD.-Seyeral months
since the British ship Star of the East,
while on her way from Bombay to Liver
pool, was lost while beating through Mo-
zambique channel. The ship and cargo
we're valued at S2o0, 900, and in accordance
with law and usage, an official inquiry was
instituted as TO the facts connected her loss,
at which the government, through an agent
of the Board of Trade, was represented
TIE first witness examined was the sail
maker of the ship, who described the voy
age and stated that when she struck she
was about mile off the shore. Wlereup-
on Mr. Tyudall, the Board of Trade attor=
ney, says to him, Didn't you think it
strange that the ship should be so close in
rhore?" Witness We're not allowed to
think; there's only the cook and the cap

as well as to promote by the roughness Of
the edges, their adhesion, is rapid and pc

with rows of circular cutting instruments,
and which, as the sheets pass, cuts rows of
holes. Each sheet Il drawn twice through
the machine, in different directions, cutting
completely around every stamp.

A SAVAGE RAcE.-In "Glimpses of Batan-
ga and Gaboon, we find mention Of race of
savages remarkable for their energy, strength,
and slight but picturegqae attire. A group of
them strolling down Montgomery or Washing
ton street would make q decided sensatior.-S.
F. Journal.
The Pangwes, in some respects, are very ro-
1narkable people; among savages l do not know
that 1 have ever met men of more impos-
ing bearing. Their form form is indicative of
strength and energy rather than grace and
beauty. Their statue is of medium size, bat
compact and well proportioned, and their gait is
alike manly and independent. The complexion
of both males and females is two shades lighter
than that of the maritime people, and though
decidedly African, are decidedly regular. But
their hair, and the mode in which it is worn, is
perhaps the most striking characteristic about
their appearance. 1t is softer than the usual
negro hair, and is usually plated in four braids,
two of which are worn in front and two back
over the shoulder, and Frequently reach more
than half way down the back. At the same
time their bodies are smeared over with a red
ointment, which neightens the singularity of
their appearance to remarkable degree. They
wear no clothing except narrow strip of dark
cloth between ther legs. Their legs and arms
are decorated with rings of brass and ivory. A
broa,i-Lladed dirk or knife, in a sheath of snake
or guiana kin, is attached to leatherr thong
tied round the middle A hatcbet of peculiar
shape is carried on the shoulders, ana the men
are seldom seen walking out without a bundle
of long sp ars in one hand. White round beads
are very muct admired Broad belts Of them
are worl around the arms and legs and they
are worked into hair SO as to form complete
te&d-wig.
REMARKABLE FAcrs.-The piles under the
London Bridge have been driven FIVE hund-
red years, and an examination of them in
1915 showed them to be but little decayed.
They are principally elm. Old Savoy Place,
in the city of London, was blilt SIX hundred
and fifty years ago; and the wooden piles,
consistinh Of oak, ELM, beach and chestnut,
on n recent examination, were found to be
perfectly sound. OF The durability of tim
her IN a wet state. the piles Of the bridge
built by the Emperor Trajan over the DAr-
ubc, afford striking example. One of those
piles was taken up and found to be pe'rifcd
to the depth of three-quartcrS of an ilch ;
but the rest of the wood was not different
from its former state though it had been
d.ive1 sixteen hundred years,
