The fancy that prorism sy breed takes an in- terest of its own when wa boar that Darwin was persuaded to glance at it. But it is still more attractive in the payhological point of viewENDERS are invited for the lease of

Revenue Farms lo the, State of North- Borneo from the 181 January, 1910, as ust out bareunder.

1. In making arrangements for the leasing of the Farms for the next Farmi period of 1910, 19it and rota, the Government reserves to itself the sight of vesting the Farms (as prós vided in the Proclamations "concerned as named in Schedule A appended) in any par- SOD, by public or private sain as may be thought fit.

The story is old, but eternally edifying on that account. No report of miració can be rejected| when persons of credit and official standing declared, one after another, that Ipearls had multiplied in their hands, and called respectable p Witnesses to confirm the statement. We may know it cannot be true, but we must not tell them so. Dr. Dennys wrote, very resnobably "there is evidence of pearls actually formed here, in Singapore, sufficient to bang a minif the same testimony were produced inja case of murder; and that, after all,is), the nearest ap..
