The unsOphIsticatcd tribe in New
Guinea who think sugar is not fit to eat,
recently offered to try an experiment
upon Mr.. Turton aud his wife, which
was respectfully declined. Regarding
the color Of the Europeans as n white

to wash it off, and see what their visito
looked like without their paint. Rcing

Turton upset everything by suddenly
closing her parasol without due notice.
This phenomenon caused a panic, and

the world did not come to an end, and

manner, the natives finally venturcd

But Mr. Turton was determined to
show these children of nature some more

and the movements of the wheels was
observed with many eXclamations of as

clarcd That such exhibition, of magic
