New HebrIdes customs

In spite Of the white mans efforts Ia
civiflze them, natives OF the New Heb.
rides cling tenaclously to their old
habits and customs. Superstition and
precedent are so firmly rooted in their
minds that any new ideas are looked
upon with distrust. The sacred men OF
the tribes are sternly jealous of their
power and ward off encroaehing civlli-
zation by terrible threats.
The islander Of the New Hcbrides
likes visible reminders OF his religion
and superstition. Sacred objects are
guarded by evll-looking carved figures
ana departed chief Of tribe is kept
In mind by setting up an efIigy in II
conspicuous place There is never any
doubt as to the identity of a figure. as
the head Of the efigy Is the chief's
skull covered over with clay and mold
ed and painted TO resemble the dcnart-
ed one. The rest Of the figure is rather
like Il scarecrow, With a painted clav
body and very few clothes. While this
etligy remains in the public view. there
IS no danger of the chief being forgot
ten. His memory is ever green, and he
is fittingly venerated.

Deeper Than the Ocean.

Biologists have discovered number
Of suboceanic canyons or drowpn0
rivers, along the east coast OF the
United States. Both the Hudson ana
Delaware rivers are in this class, as
well as Chesapeake bay. The st. Law.
renee river IN Canada, and the Congo.
In Africa, are also deeper, near their
mouths. Than the ocean.
The Hudson river, worn by the flow
Ing stream, is considerably deeper than
the offshore part of The Atlantic. 1t Is
flooded by the intrudlng ocean. The
bay and lower river compose what
would be called In Norseland a ford.
The whole east coast of the United
States has sunk good deal in the
course of ages, owing to the enormous
weight of material brought down by
the rivers and deposited out in the
ocean off shore. But biologists say
that the melting Of glaciers has largely
TO do with the phenomenon.

Dalhousie University was founded
IN 1878 by the Rt. Hon. George Ram
say, ninth earl Of Dalhousie. For
half a century the university
struggled along and thea began to
take its rightful place. Since then it
has grown step by step with Halifax.
The university is now moving out to
an estate of over 40 acres on the
north side Of the city, near the
Northwest Arm, where 100000,
raised among the graduates, is being
expended in modern buildings. The
cornerstone of the first of these, the
Science Building, was laid by the
Duke of Connaught in 1912.
