ORIGIN OF FIRE.
The Curious story Told by the south
Sea Islanders.

The Curious Story Told by the south
Sea islanders.
The south sea islanders tell q curious
story Of the origin of fire. If they are
to be believed, they came into posses
sion of that useful element in the fol-
lowing manner. A great whale was
once washed ashore upon one of their
islands during the prevalence Of ter
rible hurricane. The monster became
species Of evergreens whose branches
easily ignite) and while crashing his
teeth in his impotent rage struck off a
spark which lighted the grove and con-
sumed both trees and whale. Fires
which are said to have been perpetu-
fire" may yet be seen burning in many
parts of the islands.
Another fire legend, believed in by
the inhabitants of the islands to the
north Of the ones in which the great
whale fire" is preserved, is to the effect
that great air dragon probably light
ning breathed upon tallow tree and
set its branches on fire. From the Goals
left from this fire they learned of its
great value and have ever since used
the element for. domestic purposes and
in their religious ceremonies. They
also have tradition that the time will
come when the dragon will return fol
the fire and that no man will be able
to Withstand him and save the sacred
spark except he be person born with
pink eyes, fair skin and white hair
For this reason the birth of an albinC
is always hailed as good omen and
his Or her person guarded with jealous
care, so as to preserve life to its ut
most limit. Marionette mentions seeing
a fire god'' or fire guard (albino,
while on his visit to the islands who
was believed to be at least 155 years
old and who had always been provided
for by the tribe.
Refinesque, who made south sea is
land myths and legends a study fol
years, is of the opinion that the return
of the dragon for his fire is symbolic
of death and the flight of the spirit.
