There is a scientific explanation OF

Tail OF the Fiery DRAGON.

One of the peculiarities of the an
rient writer's on natural history sub
iects was the implicit faith which they
placed In the genuiueness of the vari-
ous basilisk and dragon stories which

instance to the point, relates with all
soberness that the basilisk is the king

Head Hunters Of the Philippines.

Curiously enough, the head hunting
peoples of the Philippines are appar-
entity limited 10 northern Luzon. None
of the warike hill tribes inhabiting
other parts Of the archipelago are
known to take the heads of their vic
tins. The explanation of their head
hunting customs which Is given by the
Negritos of northeastern Luzon is very
simple. They believe that each family
must take at least one head a year or
suffer misfortune In the form of sick
ness. wounds. starvation or death.
Their victims are always beheaded
with bolos. Heads are buried In the
ground under the houses" of the men
who take them. Plates or ollas are
placed over the spots where the heads
are buried and possibly contain offer
ings to evil spirits. The houses" under
which heads are buried are then aban-
doned and their supposedly fortunate
owners look forward to a period free
from death. sickness or injury and to
success in their hunting and fishing
