ORGIES IN NEW GUINEA.
Wild and Bloody Scenes When the Na
tives Get Intoxicated.
Of the unpleasant drinking customs
of certain nations in New Guinea Wal
ter Goodfellow writes: "We did not
find tbe people down by the coast
nearly so tractable or companionable
as those nt the headwaters of tbe riv
er. They were also much more quar
relsome among themselves. They tap
a species of sugar palm up tbe river
and make fermented drink out of It
.On this tbey get fearfully intoxicated,
nnd wild orgies take place all day.
Parties of them would go off In canoes
and sit under the palms from which
the drink was obtained. In the morn
ing they would return extremely
drunk, nnd fights used to bo the re
sult. "Sometimes these fights lasted for
two days nt n time. In our vicinity
they more often than not took place
nt nlgbt. The nntires then mndo such
an Indescribable din with their howl
lug nnd their noises that we could not
sleep at our base camp. Spears nnd
showers of arrows were discharged in
all directions, and one could bear tbe
sound of their axes denllng blows on
tbe bodies of tbe combatants.
"After n time the women would join
In the fray, nnd their shrill voices add
ed to the bnbel. making the noise
greater than ever. When they be
came Involved In the fights they seem
ed to be worse than the men. Tbe
cries were not like sounds emitted by
human beings, but rather like theories,
of nnItnals."-ChIcago News.
Wanted to Make Sure.
Under ordinary conditions he was a
man of prominence, but as he as
cended the steps of his residence very
early In tho morning it was very evi
dent that he desired to be as much
otherwise as possible. Tho cabby was
lingering near by to see that bla charge
was safely disposed of for the night.
Tbe door opened before the man on the
steps could fcet the key to work, nnd
be was greeted with the question,
"nenry, where have you been?" (Si
lence.) "Ilen-ry. where have you
been?" (He turns to descend the
steps.) "Are you going to answer my
question?" "Yes, dearie heart, I sure
nm. From ray personal knowledge,
beloved o' my soul. I can't give th' de
sired inf mation. So you jest lay down
again while I go back an' ask th' hack
driver!" Argonaut
Holes In Everything.
It is held by more than one high
authority that matter is neither con
tinuous nor homogeneous. Thomson
showed by an experiment that hydro
gen can be passed Into a vacuum tube
through an incandescent platinum
window. In n similar way sodium
posses thronch glass, nnd this is a
useful fact In the manufacture of
vacuum tulos. because sodium can be
passed Into tbe tube to absorb the
residual oxygen. Bellntl. the Italian
physicist, has shown that hydrogen
can pass through cold iron. Matter
may therefore be generally regarded
as full of holes.
