News has just been received in this
country that the cannibal inhabitants of
the Solomon Islands have returned once
more to their barbarous 'practice of head-
hunting and man-eating. The despatohee
state that the white settlers in the neigh.
borhood, who, after a year's zessation from
these bloodthirsty pursuits on the part of
the natives, had begun to feel somewhat
secure, have been strioken with terror and
are fleeing to Australia cm every available
vessel. They are accompanied in their
flight by numbers of missionaries, who are
well aware that the South Sea Island can-
nibal has a strong partiality for white flesh,
and that he will go to the extent of slaying
even these good and harmless clergymen
when once hts appetite for human flesh has
been thoroughly excited.
In all of the adjoiniug islands the white
settlers have applied to the British Ad-
miral, Sir A. G. Bridge, for protection.
The Admiral has displayed commendable
energy in his.effort to punish the horrible
offenders, and aocording to the lastest
reports, has embarked on board the first.
olaas cruiser Orland, with the purpose of

and treachery of their movements they

the effect that the plan -eaters are by far a
more vigorous and
WELL-FORIIED RACE,
and though they are cannibals, they are by
no means of an inferior order of intelligence
as savages go. The men are, as a rule.well
formed, and the women, in their youthone
laendsome and attractive, though they soon
become bent and disfigured bythe toil to
which they are subjected. The Solomon
Island women, as is generally the oath
among savages, is the slave of her husband,
and even ber life is in his hands. They
are usually treated with aereat cruelty, and
disobedience is punished by instant death.
The body is subsegnently devoured by the
huaband and his remaining wives. It
would be considered a waste to bury it.
The chiefs are especially given to man-
eating, and in a raid of the kind which has
just bean reported,all of the tenderest flesh
is submitted to them. Each chief ie pro-
vided with a butcher, whose duty it is to
put to death the captives and prepare ntheir
bodies for feasting. It is, perhapa, advis-
able to bear in mind that the attitecle of
these butchers toward the captives is not
one of hostility or vengeance, but merely
the professional attitude of one who has a
certain piece of work to perform,e.nd whose
sole desire is to perform it with excellence.
The prevailing notion that the human food
of cannibals is prepared by boiling the
whole body in a pot,is, of course erroneous.
Aside from the absence of pots, the human
flesh is of a character that is bent prepared,
not by boiling, but by hanging up in a
shady spot for a day or two and then roast-
ing like pork.
The taste is said to resemble that of
swine very closely. In fact, the Biblical
injuuotion against the eating of swine is
said to be founded on this reaereblanoe.
HOW IIIIMAN FLESH TASTES.
The flesh of a white man is peculiarly
agreeable to the taste of a cannibal. Dur-
ing the upriaings of the Solomon bland
" hem& hunters" no person is safe, be he
white or black, so great is the frenzy of
these fearful creatures for human blood.
But if a white man should be encountered
the occasion is celebrated by atsanquet or
feast of unusual ceremouy. Capt. William
T. Wa.wn, an Englishman, who spent years
in the Queensland labor trade and who was
quite familiar with the character and habits
of the Solomon Islander, relates the follow-
ing experience, illustrating this peculiar
custom :
"On Nov. 9 the natives had captured
a recruiting boat belonging to tffenalystery
labor schooner. They had killed her trew—
four native boatmen—and two white men
—Thomas Muir, mate, and John Renton,
G. A.
"The motive for these murders was not
revenge, but simply cannibalism. A great
feast had been arranged to take place, to
which all the surrounding tribes had been
invited. The chiatof the tribe that gave
it desired to show hospitality on a grand
settle, and accordingly provided the rare
dainty of white man's flesh tonio honor to
his guests on the occasion."
The natives not only employ the flesh of
their captives, but they also make excellent
use of other portions of the body.
TEE LARGER BONES,
such as the femur or thigh bone and the
large arm bones, are used in making spear
points, and in various other crude arts.
The skulls are chiefly employed in decorat•
ing the houses and sepulchres. One of the
favorite architectural effects appears to
consist in arranging a series of skulls
along the edge of the thatched roof. The
skulls are 'also place n around the base of the
square stone mounds, which are built to
contain the bones on dead natives. The
skulls on the exterior, however, are those
of captives, as may be easily known by
observing the gaps or clefts where they
have received the death blow, in most
cases, from the hand of the professional
butcher.
The suggestive name of "head hunting"
is given to the practice, common among
these people, of going abroad, either singly
or in bands, and scouring the neighboring
territory in the search for these horrible
trophies. Head hunting is carried on to
acme extent in connection with cannibalisms
but much more from the desire of the chief,
simply to accumulate shulls, as a token of
political power, physical prowess, or for
the purpose of decoration. There are Some
contigencies in the soeial life of the Solomon
Islanders on the happening of which it is
quite necessery,according to the established
custom, that a head should be provided,
Among the principal., of these may be
mentioned : Tne death of a chief ; the
launching of a new war canoe ; the comple-
tion of a tamboo•honee. . The tamboo,
or tambinhouse, is a building erected
to contain the bones of some departed
savage. The bones so treated are generally
those of chiefs or men of importance.

of the whites as they visited the there and
to make off with them in triumph. Very
few of thilie unfortunate captives have
ever been seen again. According to the
usual practice of the Solomon Ienandere,
they are immediately pub to death and
their bodies carefully quartered by the
chief's butcher. The pieces are then hung
up on the branches of shady trees and
allowed to acquire the proper degree of
seasoning.
The latest white victims of the savages
were the ship's company oi the Sydney
trading schooner Amelia, Capt. D. Kerr,
his mate, Samuel Smith, and eight or ten
men. They sailed in the schooner Amelia,
from Rubiaua in the middle of last April
and have since been missing under circum-
stances that leave no question as to their
fate. The British naval officers in the
vicinity are naturally enraged over the
miserable destruction of these sailors, and
it in probable that swift vengeance will be
taken upon the cannibals if they fall into
the clutches of the whites.When the
sailors failed to, return to Rubiane.lu May,
one Nathaniel' Wheatley, of that place,
organized a search for them and succeeded
in picking up the deck-honse, the hatches
and other parte of the Amelia, but every
one of the men had disappeared.
TEE CANNIBAL ISLES.
The group of islands called the Solomon
Islands by early navigators, who vaguely
supposed that they were the original
depository of Solomon's gold, extend from
the northwest to the southeast in latitude
5 to 11 degrees south and 154 to 163 degrees
east, at a distance of about 800 miles
northeast of Australia. They are the
largest of the numerous groups of ielands
in the Pacific Ooean, and were discovered
by Alverdo de Mendana in 1567. Yet
though they were thus among the earliest
known islands in this region, our informa-
tien in regard to theirtopography, resources
and inhabitants has always remained very
meagre, owing to the unamiable character
of the natives.
The Solomon Islanders are of a mixed
race, varying between an almost pure
Malay type and the dark-skinned Poly.
nesian. Though savage in their habits,
they are nevertheless intelligent, crafty,
thievish and revengeful, and they are said,
when domesticated, to make excellent and
faithful servant. The men wear no
clothing but a loin band, and the women
wear a small skirt. They are mostly small
of stature and their hair and skin are
intensely black, the former being closely
frizzled. Some visitors have, described
these people as the mostsavage, brutal and
degraded race on earth, but this opinion is
perhaps too severe. Although •cannibals,
they are by no means degraded as oom-
pered with other savage races. They had
acquired in the process of their development
and before coming -in contact with Europ-
eans aknowledge of various simple arts,
several of which they practised with
remarkable skill. They ane singularly
clever in surgery, setting arms and legs
with bamboo splints. They hay:annals°
obtained some knowledge of dentistry,
though their treatment of a patient is
somewhat of a heroic character.
.A. protectorate was established over the
entire group in 1893. The British Govern-
ment thus acquired a total area of seven or
eight thoueand square miles and a popula-
tion of about 50,000 savages, the greater
part of whom were cannibals. At the time
of the establishment of theprotectorate the
chief of the island of San Christove, one of
the most cannibalistic of the lot, was one
Taki, a converted man-eater.
STILL LINE WHITE FLESH.
Contrary to the general impression, the
practice of cannibalism has by no means
been extinguished, It has been aupposed
that the increasing intercourse between the
whites and savages and the Isreeence of a
large number of devout mistioearies itt the
South See. Islands had put an end to min*
eating as a general praotioe, but this is not
the ease. The inhabitanta of many of thews
island, and, of the Solomon 'elan& in
partioular, have always been "anthrop.
hagoi," or cannibals, ever since their
existence first beoame known to white men
in the sixteenth century. And theee 18
nothing in the presence of the missionarieft or
