NOT YET FULLY CIVILIZED
Solomon Islanders at Times Apt to Go
Back to Pleasant Diversion Of
Head Hunting.

The Solomon islands are famous as
one of the last strongholds of head
hunting and cannibalism. Some of
the natives have been converted to q
civilized respect for human life, but
the native taste of the Solomon island
er still approves a ceremonial feast
once In a while, with several members
Of a hostile tribe Hastily cooked and
served.
Head-hunting has for centuries been
a part of the islanders religion and
is pursued with great zeal and a kind
Of ecstatic enjoyment to all except
the victims. Head-hunters from one
tribe set out for a hunt to the lands
Of another tribe. They swoop down
on a village, seize as many victims as
possible and escape. The trophies of
the chase are impaled on posts as evil
dence of the hunters prowess, while
the feast which follows consists main
ly Of the victims.
If the attacked tribe knows of the
plan beforehand it will retire to It's
tree houses, where it Is safe for q
while. These houses are built fifty or
sixty feet from the ground in the
branches of giant trees. Ladders hang
from them and up these the agile ma
tives climb and then pull up the lad
der.
Usually a hunt is now instituted
only for one or two sacrifices, and
skulls as decorations in the houses are
less fashionable than they once we're,
This Is a favorable sign, but the real
Solomon islander is far from tame and
1t apt to relapse any time into the
ways of his fathers.
