FlJlAN FIRE CEREMONY.
Natives Who Walked Over Red Hot Stones
with Impunity.

Natives Who Walked Over Red Hot Stonee
with Impunitv.
Two New Zealand medical men, Drs.
Hocl1en and Colquohoun, recently Wis
tied Fiji, where they had an opportu-
nifty of witnessing the now rare fire
ceremony of the natives. 1t is SO rare
single family living on an islet 20
miles from the Fijian metropolis,
Suya. These people are able to walk,
nude and with bare feet, across the
white-hot, stony pavement of huge
oven.
An attempt was made on this occa-
sion to register the heat, but when the
thermometer had been placed for a
few seconds about five feet from the
oven it had to be withdrawn, as the
solder of the covering began to melt.
The thermometer then registered 282
degrees, and DR.. Hocken estimates
tnat the range was over 400 degrees.
The fire walkers then approached,
seven in number, and in single file
walked leisurely across and around the
oven. Heaps of hibiscus leaves were
then thrown into the oven, causing
clouds of steam, and upon the leaves
and within the steam the natives sat
or stood The men were carefully eX-
amined by the doctors before and af-
ter the ceremony.
The soles of their feet were not thick
or leathery, and were not in the least
blistered. The men showed no symp-
toms of distress, and their pulse was
| unaffected. Preliminary tests failed
| to show that there had been any spe-
cial preparation. Both doctors, while
denying that there was anything mi
raculous about the experiment, ex'
pressed themselves as unable to give
any scientific eXplanation.-Lond

WHAT FISH EAT.
Most Denizens of the Deep Live on AMI
NAL Substnnces

There are many thousand species
of fishes, and naturally there is a
great diversity in their food. Never
theless, it is possible to divide 1t into
seven distinct classes. Now, all the
animal life rests on foundation of
vegetables. Plants store up the vital
forces in the air and sunshine and
pass them on to the great army of
.vegetarians, who in their turn yield
them up to the animals which live on
flesh. One or two additional steps
may sometimes be interposed, but the
result is the same. A caterpillar eats
cabbage, an ichneumon fly quarters
her brood on the caterpillar, an in
sect-eating bird snaps up the fly, and
bird of prey pounces upon the fly
catcher and finishes the story. The
inevitable order is plant, vegetarian.
flesh-eater.
The vast majority of fishes feed
on fishes or other animals found in
the sea. Probably, however, the vege-
tarians are more numerous than ara
generally supposed. For instance, all
the text books declare that the gray
mullet feeds on the living matter OBJ
tanned by straining sand or mud in it's
mouth, which doubtless is true, but
they go on to explain that owing to
the peculiar construction of it's throat
larger bodies are prevented from
passing into the stomach, which is not
true. No amount of letter press will
persuade a Lands End fisherman that
a gray mullet cannot or does not eat
seaweed; he is convinced from life
long observation OF its habits that it
does, and the fact that the fish s
stomach is often found full of sea-
weed proves that the fisherman is
right. Fishes which undoubtedly
catch and swallow living prey are
wont on occasion to treat themselves
to dish Of vegetables. 1 have just
assisted at the post-mortem eXamina-
tion of Dream, which contained in
addition to crab large helpings of
two kinds of seaweed in different
stages of digestion.
But doubtless it is a fact that fishes
live for the most part on animal diet,
and it is obvious that this must con-
sist largely of some other class than
their own. Il fishes ate fishes only
the race woulo soon become extinct.
Fortunately the sea is full of life, and
for those which cannot or will not eat
seaweed there are worms innumer-
able, jelly fishes, star fishes and sea
urchins, the great host living in
shells from the oyster to the periwin-
kle and the limpet, crabs and all 9TH
er kindred, and lastly other fishes.
The appetite must be capricious. in
deed, which cannot find something to
tempt it among all this vast array

I'm not joking, your honor" said ths
prisoner. Just listen. Mr. father

year had child born who died short
