Edible Earth In the Fiji 1.1and,

A Sydney, N. S. W., correspondent
reports the existence OF an edible
earth in the Fiji Islands, which is
thought to represent decomposed
volcanic ash and is eaten chiefly by
the women of the islands. Professor
David, of the Sydney university, states
that it is very soft, and of a color be-
tween gray and pink. Coolies i'm
ported from India also eat the earth
in considerable quantities.

might do better If he had two boats built by one

be in accordance with Mr.. Duggans tactics, which
