Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 18, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Isaccs of men in Tine Pacific. A correspondent of Tho London times accompanied Tho government expedition to explore Tho islands in the Vicinity of Australia thus describes a race of people of whom but Little is known to anchored near admiralty Island and very shortly a number of very Fine canoes thirty feet to forty foot Long and Crews of from ton to sixteen cat no Oil to rho ship. Tho canoes were much on the same plan As those to had seen in Guinea Bat More than double Tho size. The body of to Canoe is Cut out of a single tree very by metrically formed and really in a certain a of Art and Ono of Groat patience and labor. The natives Are papuan melanesian but As the admiralty is lands form new Jia Novor new Ireland and new Britain it is probable that they More of the can Router of Tho inhabitants of those islands Luin those of now Guinea proper. They Are Over six foot in height and their color is quite Dusky but that May possibly to due to their making general use of Black pigment for we found on better acquaintance that some of their color was Apt to come off on the clothes or hands. Their hair is Black and frizzled and they Wear it Short and rarely bleach or Dye it. They Are quite naked with Tho exception of a very narrow loin cloth and often in lieu of this they Wear a single Shell Plain or elaborately ornamented of Tho White egg Cowry. The hair is sometimes tied in a knot at Tho top of Tho head by a band of Tappa and favorite ornament for Tho front of Tho top knot is a disk three inches or so across Cut out of the White inner stance of the Shell of Tho Pearl Oyster which is polished and then overlaid with another disk of very thin Tortoise Shell often Cut out into a very elegant Pat a similar disk of larger size is worn suspended from Tho neck As a breast plate. Tho nose ornaments Are Long pieces of Bone Hung from a Short Cross piece which passes through Tho septum of the nose and Tho earrings and Tho bracelets which they eur on , Aro rings Ofshe a Cut from a Large Turlo. It is singular that the arms and implements of Tho Admir Alty islanders differ completely from those of Tho whom to previously visited at one of the neighbouring islands. In admiralty Island bows Are unknown. The canoes All carried Large sheaves of Spears Voith heavy Heads of Obsidian and Light shafts six to seven feet Long they throw these with great Force and accuracy taking hold of the Shaft just below the head where the weight of the Spear was balanced. They also use Long Sharp knives or daggers of Obsidian which they stick into in Orna mental Bracelet of plaited grasses Bioh they Wear on the upper loft . Almost every Man had Over his shoulder a neatly mounted Little adze made of a Small piece of frequently of bet Ter and thicker Iron than Ordinary hoop with a Bent hard Wood handle a few still carried what must have proceeded the Iron implement of the same form but with the cutting part made of a thick spiral Shell ground Down particular Way. The work of the session. The times july 20 which thinks that in his declaration last night or Disraeli evidently a Little overshot the approval of the House of commons asks Why he did not throw overboard a third or More of Tho government orders which now fill the notice papers for no other end but that of vexing the conscientious Reader not one Quarter of them can become Law and if a third had been thrown overboard Theio would have been More than another third with drawn subsequently. The explanation is simple. The prime minister refrained from stating Bills to proposed to abandon for no other reason than that everybody was satisfied that Tho time had come when such a statement was overdue and inevitable and or Disraeli has a soul which rebels against Tho supposed necessities of usage and convenience. The Dull track of Regula Rity Ana habit is intolerably to Aritomo to . The pollution of Eivers Bill Tho sheriff s courts Bill the patents Bill and a dozen Hartington enumerated them yesterday to remain on Tho paper until some Day next week because or Disraeli likes to embellish life with a Little Vari Ety. His hesitation disappointed those who came to to informed but it was a diversion from the beaten path a prise an exorcise of fancy and As or Disraeli reminded his bearers at Willis s rooms on Friday Genius must be judged by Laws of its own. Important answers. Doos exercise promote health because it All the functions upon from the fact that in two vessels of Tho same exterior dimensions one built of Wood and the other of Iron the carry ing capacity of latter is considerably greater on to Lief other hand the Iron built ship is liable to accidents from which a wooden ship is Safe and Tho lat Ter when cast ashore will stand a Strain that Breaks the Iron ship to pieces. Authorities on the subject of shipbuilding say that it is not impossible that the Iron ships have had their Day and that a re turn made to wooden ships.
