Now it happened that on returping from a journey to the town he was benighted in the midille of the forest. Despite the darkness, he was able to guide himself as far as the sala and he got up into it to sleep. Slumber did not delay to seize him, but he was soon awakened by mysterious voices which told him that in a glade of the forest at the foot of a gigantic tree, of which they gave him a description, he would find on digging the soil to a certain depth a jar filled with pieces of gold.

They all followed him. Arrived at the house, they found the wife engaged in cooking rice and the child smiling in its cradie. The husband was triumphant; but his companions, in constemation, could not pronounce one word. All at once, the wife who was about to skim the rice, let fall the ladle which, slipping through the interstices of the bamboo floor, fell to the ground beneath. The woman. Immedi- ately stretching out and lengthening her tongue two metres, used it as an elephant does its trunk to pick up the ladle from the ground. At this spectacle the husband and all his friends took to fight; there was doubt about it; they had to do with ghosts.

The husband did not dare to return that night, and in the morning he went there, accompanied by his friends, but he found the

Horror! his nose was lengthened out of all measure and resembled the trunk of an elephant. Terrified, he got up, and rolling his nose round his head, like a Chinese quente, he ran to his house. There, on measuring his nose, he found that it was lengthened out to a fathom. The whale village laughed heartily over his adventure. The puzzle for him was to find a remedy which might bring back that appendage to its natural limits. Not knowing to what "Phi" to devote himself, he applied to his neighbour, the man of the treasure, and begged him to find a remedy as one enjoying the favour of the

ORIGIN OF MAN.

Dr. H. Klanisch, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Heidelberg University, is in Queensland, with a view to making researches into the origin of man. The professor is of opinion that this state offers a splendid field for research, as the aborigines, particularly of Northern Queensland, are regarde as the last remaining specimens of primeval man. After studying the skulls and skeletons of all races of mankind for ro years, and the skulls of the Tasmanian types of Australian aborigines in the museums of Europe for the last three years in particular, Professor Klantsch concludes tha. the race from which mankind sprang has been Qoyukaped from a tune of which one sees the primitive condition at prevent in Queensland Analogous with this is the fact
