RENOVATED WEDDING CAKE.
Everything Chosen But the Bride; She
Comes Next.

a correspondent of the Fiji Times
writing from Tonga, May s, says: A
matter in which the Tongans are mucn
interested is the long talked of and ex-
pected marriage of their young king
and all arrangements are being now
rapidly pushed forward, and after the
arrival of the mobiles, chiefs, and prin-
cipal people who are daily expected
from the other groups, the ceremony
will not be long delayed. Your corre-
spondent is not able to give you any
certain information as to who is to be
queen. That momentous matter will,
most likely, as there are Two ladies with
rival claims, to be submitted to a meet
ing of the highest chiefs for their ad-
vice, which however may be taken or
not, as it suits the desires of Tubou.
The cake, originally made in Auckland
at cost of e12G has been renovated
for the occasion and the various dresses
are all but completed. The native in
habtants of Tonga have for months
past been preparing large quantities of
native cloth and other native goods to
b. presented when the wedding comes
off His Majesty George Tobou II. is at
present in the best of health.

While the transport Grant was at

Scorpions Do Not Suicide.

An interesting question has from time to
time been discussed by naturalists and
psychologists. as 10 whether the scorpion
commits suicide by singing himself with
HIS own venomous dart Experiments have
often been made, which consist IN sur
rounding the scorpion with a circle OF
fire. usually formed by small pices OF
burning Goals.
One may then see the animal agitate his
tail In the air. waving his dart to and fro
over his head in a desperate movement
and finally fall dead. appearing to have
decided that he could not escape the
flames and TO have inoculated himself
with his own venom. says the Scientific
American. This idea Is now. however
found 10 be erroneous. as II has been
proved that the scorpion IS not affected by
his own Venomous fluid. and the hypothe-
sis OF his suicide cannot be maintained.
II appears from later observations made
upon the death of the scorpion under the
conditions in question that a more simple
explanation Is to be found.
Scorpions are. in fact, sensitive TO heat
and are easily killed by a temperature not
exceeding 90 degrees centigrade II one
concentrates the solar rays upon a scor-
pion's back by means OF a lens one may
observe that he tries by means OF his tail
TO remove the cause Of discomfort. II Is
this movement OF defense which has hith-
erto been mistaken for one OF suicide. and
I'm reality the scorpion has been killed b.
the heat 10 which he has been exposed
under such circumstances.

Beginning with the Trojan war, which
is usually regarded as the first chapter
in European and Asiauc history, II is cal
culated that war has claimed 100000 OF
men every century. In Europe alone the
loss Of lives every 100 years since the date
OF that war has been between 100000 and
20 90. 900 Three thousand years have
elapsed since that opening chapter OF his
tory was unrolled, so that during those
thirty centuries the almost inconceivable
number OF 100 100000 men, women and
children have been sacrificed to settle dis
putes concerning some few miles of ter
ritory. to crafty the ambition of some
monarch, or to soothe the wounded van
ity of rulers and states.
The present population OF the globe is
estimated at l.400. .000 therefore II all
people alive at this moment were stricken
down simultaneously by some fell disease
the awful result would be but little more
terrible than the result brought about by
the wars of the centuries.
In the war that RACED between 1893 and
1915 no fewer than !, 800 900 men were either
killed outright or died from wounds and
disease In the campaign of 1898 the num-
Der was 100 900. In the Crimean war the
losses sustained by the four countries
which participated amounted 10 the ter
rible figure of 600. 900. In 1859 the French
and Austrian forces suffered TO the ex-
tent OF $4,000, while in the Civil War In
the United States the victims numbered
65s 900. The Franco Prussian war caused
the death OF go. 900 and the Russo-Turkish
war meant death TO $4,000 men.

Twenty Dollars a Month for light.

A strange case has come UP I'm NIL

block has been obliged TO pay so month
for the privilege OF having sunlight In
one window OF his building. a firm had

This was effected by cutting a window In

that the light was his, and that as he had
a right TO erect a building on his lot he
had right TO put up any kind OF a struc-
ture permitted by law. An inquiry by the
attorney for the other party developed no
flaw in the position taken by the light
purveyor. and his terms OF so per month
