IL a group whose precise
location and exact ownership only
one Of the newest maps will

the British Solomons.
For about five hundred miles,
the British Solomons extend
throughout the tropical waters,
varying in size from 100 miles

ing its time.
When men first began to live
on these islands, volcanic mani
festations probably were far more
common than they are today.
Perhaps this Is the reason that
there sprang into being strange
beliefs about God and the neces-
sity OF propitiating the devils
that lived in the VOLCANOES.
When human life was likely to
be snuffed out at any hour by
a volcanic eruption, it was nat
ural that human life should be
held very cheap. And some au.
thorities believe that cannibalism,
which Is only now disappearing
from the Solomons, grew out O3
the necessity sor food when the
survivors found themselves shut
in from the sea by lava walls,
with all other animal life and all
plant food buried under hot lava.

cannibal feasts used to take place

Gated a village club house, called
the "Tambu House." In the orec-
ton and dedication of this club
house the utmost skill was used.
It was and is the highest type of
architecture of which the natives
the tambu house serve as a meet
ing place for the mon, but it
Is house In which are placed
the dried bodies OF dead chiefs.
The front of the tambu house
is where the men of the village
and strangers come to meet eacn
other and talk over the news OF
the Solomon Island world. And
Il a stranger wishes to sleep in
side the house he can do so with
out fear. Even his bitterest
enemy will leave him unmolested
30 sacred-is this house.
Like other mems clubs the
world over, the tambu house of
the Solomons Is taboo to women.
Were a woman to enter it's sa-
cred precincts, the chances are
she would pay for her daring
with her life.

GAY SPIRITS FLATTERED HUGO,

ending in 1855, Victor
- Hugo, in q gingerly way,
dabbled in what is now known
as spiritism. In this case the
alleged spirits employed the
tables tourantes" (say plan
chette) in their communications
from beyond the tomb" The
spiritists Of today make much
of these experiences of the great
poet in their line of mysticism,
but it does not appear that Hugo
was ever convinced that the COM
munications were really what
they pretended to be.
Now I find that Paul Couday,
writing in lie Temps" has in
testingly developed this very
point in a review of the new
edition of Hugo's "Contempla-
tions." All readers, even those
who know him only in trans
lation, have a pretty clear notion
of the Hugo style of thinking
and speaking or writing. Bret
Harte made it particularly plain
to everybody in his amusing
series Of parodies on the great
story writer's.
For a striking instance Of
Hugoism in the language of the
Spirits" who were supposed to
be lowering around the poets
table in the island Of Jersey,
eager to prove their identity and
to say something convincing.

translate: Poet, thou art the
Phidias of Bonaparte; Phid!as
had the marble of Paros. thou,
thou hast the granite OF exile.
Take all these rocks and carve
them with thy passion. Thou
canst do 1t, poet-ocean"
The telepathist might smilingly
say Of this that it was as plainly
the reflection of Victor Hugo's
own Thoughts as of his style Of
expression. But if so, the next
example of utterance from the
world Of the spirits is as grand
lose specimen of self.compli-

often there is a "nlgger In the
woodpile" of these hands across
the sea- movements. There IS,
however, one such organization
which blooms almost unseen ana
unknown in England. 1t IS the
Reunion of British War Missions:
This organization is composed OF
men who went to the United
States on war missions and came
home convinced that Englard
should know more about the
GOOD side of America. Without
anv hip-hooray stuff, and without
anv attempt at self f-glorification,
thew have set to work. The or
eanization is quietly conducting
lecture courses in public schools,
telling the English children about
American life and distributing
American books to English read
ers. Capt. 0. p. Beaman, secre-
tary of the organization, is now
in America to further the move
ment. The work this organiza-
ton is doing, in a quiet and un-
blatant way, should set an excel
lent example to some or the othe~
orsanizatio which loudly pro-
claim they are working for Anglo
American anity and do the most
of their work in moments when
their flag-waving is done under
the enthusiasm of good dinners,
much wine and liquors.
Somerset Vaughan has given
the London tongues an excallenf
workout by the production Of his
new play, "Our Betters," which
has also been produced in New
York.
Vaughan has made the play a
preachment against American
climbers in English society. and
he has revived discussions which
flourished in Victorian days as
to whether or not Americans are
having a deteriorating effect upon
British society. The old-tinlersi
are quite ready to blame Ameri-
cans for cocktail drinking, for
cigarette smoking and extrava-
gance and gayety in general. The
more modern, however, are will
ing to admit that their cousins
from across the Atlantic have

One is glad to be assured that
Hugo used to point out the con-

communications and that he often
left the room before the seance

questioned by r. Lesclide, the
poet replied: "Croyez-en ce que
