Forty thousand coco-nuts planted on the island have transformed it into a garden, bisected by neat paths lined with the thousand hues of the croton busben. The natives are noted for two qualities: their kill as carvers & and their immorality. Most of the worthy citizens would trade you a wils for a stick of trade tobacco--and from the point of view of beauty they would be getting the best of the bargain.

WORLD FORGOTTEN.

These islands, where launches come once in three months and steamers nover, are the Pacifio of the romances. Hore are men who prefer that the past alould remain buried. Here are men who have gone native and forgotten the world outside. And hers we found, a rasident magistrate without o raedical degree who performed three major surgical operations before breakfast with only the aid of a nativa constable.

There is charm and beauty about this out-of-the-way corner. We found Mr. Ellis 'Bilas, an English artist, who wrote and illustrated "Crusading at Anzao," striving to catch the glamour of the place on canvas. It may te six months before his task is finished. With our captain-the only navigator aboard--laid up with malaria-his temperature was 103--- we sailed for the Solomon Iɛlauds in dirty weather. The charts were rather more vague than usual, aud our seamanship was quaint, but dawn of the second day gave us Treasury leland, for which we had been aiming. It was a pleasant surprise to find it on our port bow. The ocean is a big place to wander about in, and stocks, of water and gasoline were at the lowest sbb.

Nobody is surprised at anything in these parts. We anchor for the night in a place where there is ons, white man who does not see his fellows ONDS in six monthe, and he does not trouble to come out to us until the morning. People at the large porta are far more curious, but it may be that a carioas disposition would be a luxury in these dreamy sess."

At Faisi 350 cases of gasoline should have been awaiting us. It was not. Instead came the district officer with a request to use our wireless plant to report the vessel carrying it as missing. The operator was actua lly tuning up when a black bowsprit thraab round a corner of the island and inompt the schooner "William H.
