Referring to the murder of Mr. Mencke, the. Straits Times says:Not only in Singapore, but throughout all Malaya and as far as the Australian Colonies, will the tidings, of the shocking fate of Mr. Bruno Mencke be received with the deepest regret This is stated purely in regard to the social friendships that his sad end must sever. To that sphere in the wide universe of science in which his immense wealth and splendid intellect were principally devoted, his death at the early age of 35 will prove a loss well nigh irreparable. The young millionaire scientist, it will be recalled, by many, first visited here some two years ago, and spent a few weeks in the town when on his way home from an expedition through New Guinea upen which he had set out from Aus- tralia. Last October fe come here again, in the steam yacht Eberhard, and made a far. more pintricted stay. The Eberhard was a splendidly equipped vessel of about 400 tons grass, originally built for that other wealthy patron of the sciences, the Prince gi Monacu. It was fitted with all appliances "for deep-sea exploring, dredging, fishing, etc., and had every convenience and appli- ance that could be desired by a savant of wealth who included the little understood science of marine zoology in his scope of know ledge and investigation. Mr. Mencke was then accompanied by Dr. George Doncker of the Hamburg Zoological Gardens, who travelled with the expedition as expert in marine speci- mens but he subsequently left the party to accept a permanent position as Curator of the Museum at Kuala Lumpur: Dr. Heinrot, of the Berlin Zoological Gaidens, whose speciali- ties were animals and, birds,, and Mr. Kolbe, the Carator and Photographer of the Zoological Museum of the same city, were the other mem- bers of the expedition, and it is to be feared that the latter is the unfortunate gentleman referred to as the Secretary' who was devoured! by the cannibal islanders of the Bismark Archipelago. Mr. Mencke was a Hanoverian by birth, and was an old friend and school fellow of Mr. Becker, ofthe local firm of Messrs. Behn Meyer & Co., with whom he was fellow student in Lyceum No. 1 of his native city. When he left college in 1885 his inten- tion was to take up farming However he started on a tour around the world, and while he was still away from home his father died and left him heir to a property worth several millions of marks. This property consisted of sugar and glass factories, mines, etc. The young man then took up the study of science, and, we understand, had earned the degree of professor before his 23rd year. He went on many cruises in strange waters, and as recently as July last left Hamburg on the voyage which has just terminated in so ghastly a tragedy, It may be stated that he leaves one sister who is married to an officer in the German Army,
The Island of New Britain, or, as it is now El called, New Pomerania, is one of the group Eckert, W. known as the Bismarck Achipelago, over which Etienne, C. a German protectorate was established in 1884; Etzel, L. L. the group being subsequently-by an agree. Elkins, S. B. ment with Great Britain in 1885-definitely Evans, A. M. A. assigned to the German sphere of influence...! Edmunds, H. W. S. This group consists of many islands, the chief of Egrijas, A which are Neu Pommern (formerly New Britain), Freeling, Lady where the tragedy occurred, Neu Mecklenburg Fernandez, V. 1). (New Ireland), New Lunenburg (Duke of York Fricburg, S. S. Islands), as well as New Hanover, Admiralty, Fobris, G., Anchorite, -Commerson, Hermit, and "other Fasgen, P. M. islands. There were in 1899, 200 European Goeiz, F. inhabitants (96 German, 34 English), 64 Grant, W. Chinese, and 65 Samoan and Fijian. Wesleyan Garis, H. L and Catholic missions are, at work.
Greenwood, Miss E. New Guinea Company has a trading station of Cyr, H. W. Matopi. Imports in 1898-99, 1,050,000 marks; Glendinning, R. exports, 939,110 marks. The chief exports are Goodwin, L. copra, 726,400 marks, and trepang, 120,800 Georgeson, J. markes
In the same year the archipelago was Grani, J. K. visited by 132 merchant vessels aggregating Guttierez, L. 37,448 tons. So much for the statistics. Tlie Grunstein, B. Locality of the group is off the South Eastern Gomes, J. extremity of New Guinea, from which the Greenwood, T. islands are separated by a strait discovered by Green, Mrs. G. Dampier, who also discovered the islands them-Garratt. S. selves, in 1699. With New Ireland, New Grimes, J. B. » Britain forms a sort of a horse-shoe which is Gordon, J. A. divided in the middle by St. George's Channel, Harkens, J. some 20 miles wide, a stormy seaway, notori- lierbinville, L. D. ous for its violent and capricious currents--which Honey, II. in 1878 was half choked, temporarily, by punice Hardy, R. J. from a neighbouring volcano. In this channel Hachez, C." ́W, lies the Duke of York group, fourteen small, Hoag, P. V. well-wooded, fertile islands, with steep cliffs and narrow fringing reefs. A Wesleyan mission and some German and other traders are settled there and on the adjacent part of New Britain., The coasts of the latter island, where the reported murder took place, are in some parts precipitous; in others the mountains lie farther inland, and the coast is flat and bordered by fringing reefs. The north coasts of New Britain and the adjacent islands are studded with active volcanoes rising to 1,000 feet, and at hoth ends of the island these are on a very grand scale. The scenery and vegetation are *varied and luxuriant, with abundant wood and wafer. In New Ireland images, apparently representing deceased relations, like the karwars of New Guinea are made of a reck
The
indistinguishable from pure chalk, which is said to exist nowhere else in the Pacific. These are deposited in buildings set apart for them. There are also peculiar wooden masks, wom at stated inter-tribal meetings and dances, and composite wooden images in which the human figure, male or female, is surrounded by those of the snake, fish, owl, tern &c. The people of New Britain, especially towards the west, resemble those of eastern New Guinea, In height they average about 5 feet 6 inches, with matted curly hair; the women appear stunted and oppressed. They are a finer race than those farther east in Duke of York island and New Ireland, who, excepting an evidently Polynesian colony on the south coast of New Ireland, rather resemble the Solomon Island

Girls some time before puberty are confined in cages of pandanus leaves about 4 "feet diameter, possibly to fatten them, an old Folynesian custom.

Women and children are. forbidden to look on him, The custom, perhaps, points to a time, when there was a priesthood, aiding the chief to rule the people.

THERAPION.
This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpenu, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPIÓN No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effactually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis-
enses. In dysenter, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and FS, now in a position, in his New and Com
modions Premises, to eclipse, as heretoforeskind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, some of the more trying complaints of this ALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ART PRACTICED in the Colony or in any part of the Far East.
