HOUSES BUILT IN TREES.

New Guinea Claims the Distinction OF
Furnishing This Unique Spectacle.
Man was individually at one period Of
his existence an arboreal animal. He
had much to do with "the trees of the
garden" In some places and as repre-
sented by some races he still lives
among them.
The natives of New Guinea climb
like monkeys and travel for long dis
tances from one tree to another without
descending to. the ground. The birds
build little fairylike cabins ON the
ground, but the people construct their
houses in the top of the tallest forest
trees First native, having climbed
the great trunk of the teak or cedar or
oak tree he has selected, begins by cut
ting off some of the branches the right
length to support platform of bamboo
on which his house is TO rest You
would wonder how he could do anything
with the tools he uses if you should see
them. He has no saw or steel edged AK.
but only a sort Of tomahawk made Of
stone and knives of bone or hard wood.
When, however, he has in some way
managed to get the limbs of his tree so
cut and fashioned as to support his
house, his hardest work is done.
The house itself is soon built and is
made Of bamboo strips and matched
with palm leaves All parts are firmly
dashed together with strips of rattan
palm, very tough vine, used by the
natives in place of ropes. 1t is not a
large house, though it sometimes con-
tains several rooms, but it is a safe and
secure retreat for the women and chill
dren in case of a sudden attack by hos
/ tile tribes.
The house is reached from the ground
by a long ladder or inclined plane. made
of woven vines In case an enemy APP
pears the ladder is drawn up, and thu
man and his family and the pig are saf'
within the house. The elevation no
only secures the household from wil'
beasts and from the ants that roam tn

The delegation of Hilo citizens sent
down to interview the Executive on the
question of appropriations now have {
bone to pick with the Legislative dele
CATION from the island of Hawaii. UNI
less the Hilo meeting was held at tho
instigation of the Hilo representatives
which we are very much inclined to
doubt-the sending of a delegation to
the Legislature practically amounts tic
an expression of want of confidence in
the work already done by the men
elected to look after the interests OF
Hilo and the country generally. At the
opening of the Legislature many mem
bers were fired with the same am
bition of the Hilo citizens committee.
but after looking about little and
making more extensive inquiry they
have come to the honest conclusion
that there are two sides to every quesl
ton, and even Hilo improvements cana
not have precedence over everything
else that may come up for considera.
ton. If the citizens committee profit
by their experience, as we believe they
will. the resolutions will not be without
some redeeming features.
