TIN CAN MAii, DELIVERY, Regular ('.ommuttlrntion With Nina. Amu Only Twice a Year. The recent volcanic disturbances in he Soul It Pacific, writes Geoffrey I'Mnock, in Piccadilly, have wiped out a village on Ntuafoou—never heard of it, have you? And the map will only show it as a red dot on a blue ocean, pitifully isolated, 340 miles from Tonga and 400 from Fiji. Nlaufoou's coast of coral reefs and jagged hidden nocka is the sailor's bad dream after a thick night ashore. The only regular communication with the Island is by the schooner which comes twice a year from Amer- ica to load the copra, and even on these occasions many days have sometimes to pass before the ships dare approach the treacherous shore. So Niaufoou, led by Mr. Ramsay, has devised its own mail service. Whenever the tourist steamer To- fua passes, sealed tin cans containing the mail and gifts of papers and small edible delicacies aro sent over the side of the ship about a mite from shore, Waiting for it, support- ing themsolvea In the heavy swell by awtmnilng and by the aid of ten -foot bamboo poles, are Mr, Ramsay and two natives.

Dr. Junfan, the Minister of Justice, who has drawn up this formidable new document of mar- riage lame, proposes to punish offen- ders in desertion and breach of pro- mise cases moat severely, For In- stance, huabands or wives who leave home are liable to a fine and to im- prisonment with hard labor for a per- iod varying from three months to a yeas. Stringent penalties against Jilting and Don Juaalam are provided, and In breach of promise eases the return of presents will not be left to the lov er's conscience but to the law, Marriage safeguards will be ex- tended to engagements. An engage- ment ring will receive the same re- spect as a wedding ring, and a g.r' who is tuid that the ururriage is ' will be entitled to carry her fiance' name (hyphenated to her own) until such time as she finds somebody who really wants to marry her. Illegiti- mate children In Roumania will suf- fer no inconvenience under the new law. They will be registered under the name of their father, whom --If they can and hirn—they can force to pay for their education and mainte- nance. Davy Jones' locker, There has been numerous guesses as to the origin of "Davy Jones," says the Montreal Star, It has been said that "Davy" Is connected with "lava," from which we have our "devil." According to Brewer: "Jones" Is a corruption of Jonah, the prophet, who was thrown into the sea. "rocker," lu seaman's phrase, means uuy receptacle for private stores; and "daffy" is a ghost or spir- it among the West Indian negrees. The whole Minnie, "He Is gone to the place of safekeeping, where daffy Jonah was sent," Smollett's "Pere- grine Pickle," chapter 13, says, "This same Davy •Jones, ,according to the mythology of sailors, is the fiend Grit presides over all tie evil spirits of the deep, r,nrt Is seen 1n various shapes Warn,m; the devoted wretch of death and woe."

The snake does not actuary tly, but has a habit of parachuting from one tree to another; Its von',ral surface at the time of "bight" becoming gutty concave, like a plece of bamboo longi- tudinally dissected.
