questioned. admitted that he had
wandered beyond the limits assigned
him by his mother. and had succeeded
in thoroughly losing himself. How to
get back to the maternal apron was a
question that sadly puzzled him.
Prince and Princess Henry, Samaritan

wanderer 20 the fold, and set out with
him across the park. As the boy was

NEW CALEDONIA.

A French Possession Which IL Nelthe.
More Nor Less Than AZ Penal Colony.
New Caledonia is neither more nor
less than penal settlement of France,
and it has absorbed rs many criminals
us the French Government dare send.
But away some two hundred miles to
the northeast there lies fair range of
islands. which are not only beautiful
and fertile in themselves but which
seem to present quite 4 succession of
comfortably isolated residences for
those who leave France ut the expense
of their country and for their country S
good.
The New Hcbridcs Archipelago COM
prise some twenty islands, large and
small. the largest being Espfritu
Santo, which measures about seventy
miles in length by about thirty in
breadth. The abori gines of the group
have all come from the same Papuan
stock; yet not only do they differ very
much in physical aspect, but tribes are
absolutely foreigners to other tribes.
Not only has each island its own Ian
guaye, but SO also has each tribe; ut
any rate il is recorded that on one of
the islands alone there are six natl, G
towns in which six distinct languages
are spoken. These languages. no
doubt, have all Il certain affinity, yet
they are marked by differences some-
what broader than what we are ac-
customed to regard as dialects. This
confusion OF tongues is one Of the most
remarkable characteristics of the New
Hebrides. as well ;iS one of the great
est difficult IS With which ChristianiZ-
inc and ciyi!izing influences have to
contend --iHihe Year R0und.

Sea-Weed Products,

Even sea-weed has a certain value.
and some day nsy be in considerable
demand. A new English method OF
utilizing it consists in boiling it with
carbonate of soda, fiitering and treat

tanned a substance, to be known as
"alguina." which has mo1e yiscositv
than starch. or even gum-arabic. and
may be prOfitakly used in stiffen;nS

adapted for the making of sirups and
for culinary purposes. From the mat
