QUEER BURIAL SERVICE.
How Adsman Islanders Protect Their
Dead From Evil Spirits.
Strange Is tbe burial service
the Ada man Inlanders. It to the
tom of the islanders to drop tbe bodies
of their parents Into tbe sea at the end
of roiies snd leave them there nntll
nothing remains but the bones, which
they then gather and bang from the
roofs of their huts.
It is a common custom for a relative
to »it by the hour and watch thebooee
of some relative. Tbto to tbe way they
have of showing their love and respect
Tbe bodies are tree ted In thto fash­
ion so that tbe evil-epirite cannot teeae
and pinch them. All that to toft are
the dried bones, and these are placed
high so that if the evil spirits wander
into tbe huts they will bava a bard
time to flud them. If a bone to carried
away It meuns some bad spirit has
seized ft. and thto means that some
terrible calamity will befall the fiaaa-
lly.
