ENGLAND'S NEW ISLANDS.

News by the Australian mail tells OF
the arrival at Sydney of her majesty's
steamship Mohawk, after a wholesale
annexation cruise among the islands Of
Melanesia. SO successful was the
"TRIP that any decrease of the empire
owing to the oceans onslaughts on the
kentlsh cliffs in past years will be
amply recouped by our recent acuuisi-
lions in the Pacific, says the London
Daily Mail.
In April last the Mohawk left Syd-
ney under orders to hoist the flag of
England on the Santa Cruz, the Swal-
low, the Reef. and other stands, These
groups Of stands lie 400 to 500 miles
east of the Solomons, the home of saw.
age cannibals.
Altogether in Santa Cruz and the
other islands, the union jack was run
up on fourteen islands.
One of the officers of the Mohawk.
in ~recounting his experiences, said:
During the cruise We burned a cou-
pie Of villages at Vella La Vella to
avenge the outrage on Mr.. Pratt, q
British subject. Commander Freeman
went ashore and had a 'palaver' with
the chiefs. One notable character, Be
lungi, was charged with being out head
hunting, n from the evidence it ap-
peared that after cruising around for
some time in search of a white head
they prefer the European) he came up
with a canoe laden with eight young
native women, who We're out for pleas
ure. The charge being proved, Be-
lungi was given until the rising of the
court for the production of the two
missing young wo1nen These he re-
fused to hand over, SO he was taken a
prisoner to New Guinea.
One Of the most interesting features
in connection with our cruise was the
visit to Tocupia. This island is with
out a history. It's people certainly are
not Kanakas, woolly haired, or stuntcd
in stature. The whole island seems to
give color to the Darwinian idea Of a
submerged continent, insofar as the
formation is mountainous, with VAL
leys. and has about 800 people on 1t.
They are gigantic in stature; one we
measured was six fet ten inches, and
the women are propOrtionate. The men
have long, straight hair, which they
dye to a flaxen color, and which in
thick folds hangs over their copper
tinted shoulders. The women, on the
contrary, have their hair cut short.
Strange to say, these natives have no
weapons Of defense at all. A remark
able law among them is la they mar
ry only once. the superstition being that
If a married a or woman dies, no
matter how many children there may
be, the deceased spirit has gon ahead
and is waiting for the other half.
During the cruise we annexed a VOL
cano, on which at night, though not
very active, one Gould hear a rumbling
noise and see a flame or glare above it.
This was in the Santa Cruz group"

From November Lippincott's: The de-
stroying angel lowered near the earth.
1t had been millions of years since he
had passed this way-space is large
and his duties many. When the De-
stroyer had last seen the earth it had
been a liquid. white-hot globe just be-
ginning to solidify: but now its crust
had cooled greatly. Land and water
divided the earth's surface between
them, and on the land there We're little
creeping things.
"Ay," said the Destroyer, lit is time
that I returned. Your time has come,
We maggots. I hav seen your like be-
fore on other balls, but I have done my
duty"
Now, the Destroyer was cunning and
resourceful and cruel; SO, instead of
crushing the creeping things, he put
forth his hand and gently pushed the
rushing ball slightly out Of it's circular
path. Round and round the sun it
sped in an ever-lengthening ellipse, ,and
with each years circuit the winters
grew longer and colder and the sum-
mers shorter and hotter. A great sheet
of snow and ice began to grow about
the north pole, gradually covering the
surface Of the earth and driving the
creeping things southwark before it, SO
that many of them died from the cold.
And the Destroyer left the creeping
things to their fate and file wonward,
laughing.
