Lyman Dayton was a pioneer and built

now the business district was a swamp

morning one of them saddled his horse and
started for the land office at Saltwater, is

the same purpose in view. The two rae,

THE SOLOMON ISLANDS.
They Are the Headquarters of the Cam
nibals and Belong to England.

They Are the Headquarters of the Cam
nibals and Belong to England.
The cable has brought the intelli-
gence that England has annexed the
Solomon islands The British have
been lingering about the Solomon
islands very parentally in late years
and several times have landed and
chastised the inhabitants. In 1880 a
number of attacks on visiting ships
were made by the natives, captains
and crews being wantonly massacred.
In 1856 trouble broke out once more
A schooner was wrecked on the coast.
The savages boarded the ship and the
captain and men were all killed, except
one. In 1889 a flock of natives de-
coyed an Englishman named Nelson
and three boys to one of their villages
and then murdered them. The bodies
of the victims were devoured by their
murderers.
In fact, cannibalism is the popular
fad on the solomon islands, which
have come to be known as the head
quarters of the cannibals. The Solo
mon group of islands is the largest
and as yet least known of any in the
Pacific ocean, though among the very
first to be discovered. There are seven
or eight large mountainous islands.
varying in length from seventy to 100
miles, and great number of smaller
islands ranging down to the tiny coral
islet only half mile across Every
chief has his butcher.
When capt We is taken in war he is
handed over to this official and prompt
~ dispatched. The body is then cut up
and the joints are hung upon tree
reserved for that purpose in the viii
lage, and the people are invited to
come and buy. If mans wife mis-
behave he is at liberty to kill her and
invite his frien DIS to feast upon her
flesh. Head-hunting is still carried
on to some extent in connection with
cannibalism. IN case of the death of
a chief head must be provided, and
the launching Of new war canoe or
the completion of tamboo house
must be signalized in the same way.
Within the radius of the head-hunting
forays no native can be said to eniov
security of life for single day.

ABOUT LIGHTNING.
How to Tell the Distance at which a
Thunder-St o-m Is Raging.


Although lightning and thunder oc-
cur always simultaneously, an inter-
val of shorter or longer duration is
usually observed between these two
phenomena, which is due to the fact
that sound trave only at the rate of
100 feet per second, while the pass
age of light Is most instantaneous.
Based upon this fact, it is an sasv
matter to tell, at least approximately.
how many miles a thunderstorm is
away. normal pulse will beat about
one stroke to the second and by count
ing the pulse-be during the interval
of the lightning and the thunder the
lapse of seconds IS arrived at and con-
sequently the number of feet, which
can be reduced &c miles.
For example: If thirty seconds
elapse between the fash of the light
ming and the crash of thunder. the
storm center is at n distance of 80. 900
feet, or about six and half miles.
An almost accura e calculation can be
made by using watch with a minute
dial.

YOUR HEARING.
Is it Gradually Growing Duller?-
Catarrh Causes it-Stop
If Now

Mr.. Peterson's case illustrates the
danger of allowing these troubles to
run on, and should be carefully read
by everyone.
A very large per cent of these cases
of deafness and roaring noises is due
to the extension of catarrh to the
eustachian tubes and inner ears.
MANY of the most remarkable cures
that have been accomplished by the
physicians of the Scott Medical In
stitute have been in the restoration
of hearing lost or dulled from ca
tarrhal extension. 1t is folly to wait
for a trouble like this to get well it
self. 1t don't get well. but always
gets worse. until frequently the hear
ing is entirely destroyed. a thor
ough course of treatment with a ca
pable specialist, who goes right at
the cause of the trouble and removes
it, is the only hope.
DR.. Wilson and his medical assoc
ciates cure all cases of deafness
caused by catarrh.

BISON FOR ENGLISH PARKS
British Landowners Are Trying to Raise
Them Mt Homo.

1t Is, unfortunately, very question
able if the experiment of keeping and
breeding the buffalo to the plains in
English parks will be attended with
any success. The bison on its native
plains is accustomed to great heat in
summer and extreme cold in winter.
But for all that the climate is a con-
slant one, and the change to the varia-
bility, the fog and the damp of Eng
land will be great. Indeed, when
we look at the condition of
the bison's European relations.

doubt if the genus bison will long re-

may be many years before we lose it,
for representatives will probably lin
ger for comparatively long period
preserved in parks, just as the ancient
wild British cattle linger now. But,
as in the case of the latter, the want
of fresh blood and the CONSEQUENT
close interbreeding will tell in time
and result in constantly diminishing
fertility, until in the course of years
the last representative Of the race
will die and the world know them no
more. We may safely say the extinc-
ton will not happen in our time, or
