tattooing, In the past both men and
women covered not only their faces
but the greater parts Of their bodies
with such decorations, The grand chiefs
mad their faces covered with ornamen-
tai spirals. They were tattooed on the
thighs and hips In a Dolly Warden pat
ern which often extended from the
knees TO the waist giving his royal nibs
the appearance OF having on pair Of
neat-htting trunks.
The women then, az now, were tat
tooed chiefly on the hips and chin. with
a sort Of flsh-hook curl at the corners
Of the eyes. Some Of the women had
also their thighs and breasts decorated
but ! believe this custom has since dis
appeared. The tattoolng instrument
was a small bone chsel. which was
driven In with a malet. The pain was
so great that It could only be done in
sections, complete job often lasting
for years.
FROM CANNIBALIsM TO CHRIS
TIANITY.
When the English first came here the
Maoris were cannibals. Now they are
nearly all Christians. They have their
own churches and schools. and the
most Of them believe In our religion. As
to cannibalism, II was quite genral. The
tribes warred with one another and af-
ter a battle there was always a feast
Of human flesh, in which the women
were not allowed to join. II is dis
grace TO man to be eaten. and for
one to hint that a mans father had
been eaten was taken as an Insult.
| have before me a paper which tells
just how one Of these cannbal feasts
was conducted. One corpse was sacrl-
feed 10 the god OF war and the re-
malnder were given up to the braves
who had taken part In the battle. The
cooking ovens were dug out of the

A remarkable attempt at suicide was
made in milwaukee, by Thomas Bosford.

from Indianapolis, although he registered
at the Davidson Hotel as from New
York. Leaving the hotel, he rode on a
street car to the end of the line. went

locked, entered, locked the door after
him, removed his coat and vest, cut six
inch cash in his throat with his Benkaife
lit a cigar and was found smoking and
holding his hat to catch the blood which
was squirting in torrents from the wound
and which had nearly iIled the bat
When Bosford was asked what he was
doing by the police officer who found him
he said he did not want to soil the floor
or make any more trouble than was nee
essary, because he did not know the peo-
pie who owned the house His bat was
full sof blood, but owing to his thought
fumess there was but little on the carpet
He appeared perfectly sane and uncon-
eerned. At the emergency hospital it
was thought he might live. as the cut,
although deep, missed the jugular vein.

NEW FORM OF CREMATION.
Mortuary Balloons in Which Human
Remains are Consumed.

.
curious substitute for burial vi
the dead has been devised by Lieu
tenant James NJ O'Keiley of New
York. city. within -co1Fisfs -ai~a nosvi
method OF cremation by which the
body is Rent heayenward By bal
loon and consumed in ni.dair. The
apparatus used is an elliptical struc-
ture called the Navohi, which is made
of silk, and provided with three silk
wings attached to is lower side.
AS described by the inventor him
self in the New York World, the de
tails of the invention are as foiiows:
Situated in perpendicular posi-
ton in traverse direction is an
inclosed cavity, perfectly alright
with the exception of small gas tap.
The space between this cavity and
the exterior of the Navohi is filled
with ordinary Illuminating gas, hav-
ing lifting force of 900 poun 1s-thc
lifting capacity can be increased II
desired.
After the Navohi is inflated the cas-
ket, thickly walled inside with wax.
containing the body. is placed in the
cavity in an upright position. The
casket rests on rubber cushion hav'
ing a one-half inch expansion aud
carrying in it's center rough pin
working through an inflammaole
composition.
Now, just before the casket with
the body is put into the cavity an
acid is poured into it until the body
is completely covered The casket
is then closed. AS soon as the acid
comes in contact with the body a
rapid dissolution begins and a gas
forms, which passes out through the
valve of the Navohi, which registers
with valve in the casket.
AS the body dissolves and the vapor
passes out the casket is lightened of
it's weight and the rubber cushion up
on which 1t rests assumes it's normal
position, thereby pulling up the rod
through the infammable material
starting a fire in the lower part OF
the Navohi. The air then rushes in
to this spaces and forms a mont
golfer balloon. This action gives the
Navohi a tremendous impetus, and
rushing upward at great speed, it is
consumed.
My last experiment showed that as
the Navohi assembled rapidly tn
valve emitted white yapor. which
continued to pour forth In graceful
! clouds until an altitude of about 800
| feet was attained. This was the bod
of large dog dssolving and passin;
into thin air.
| For about two hundred feet higher
black vapor was observed to issut
through the valve; then a light az
| peared at the lower end of the Navohi
| It was on fire, and with the rapdit
of the whirlwind it disappeared, {
| mere spark.
| fancy the future viii sec the
| funeral party gathered on the house
top, the Navohi swaying gently at it
anchorage not far above their heads
and as the clergyman pronounces the
| last words of the burial service the
| funeral director sewers the rope and
the body takes flight and follows its
| soul above the clouds.
