Frequently one has to deal with chiefs; in fact, in every village the traveler will probably be welcomed by the chief. An interchange of greetings through an interpreter establishes a good understanding. An interchange of presents is usual on these occasions, and is an almost universal custom. Etiquette requires the chief to give a present in return. As a rule, a chief can only offer a bunch of bananas, some pawpaws or possibly a goat or two, some of which may possibly be welcome. On a special occasion the chief may offer tne traveler a wife, a gift which he will probably decline with a great profusion of thanks.?Engineer. A On* Word Epitaph. 'There is only one one word epitaph in this country," said the undertaker. "It is in the town of Worcester. I believe it is quite a drawing card. Holiday makers come to see it from miles around.

The amoeba (Greek "change"), the supposed pioneer in the line of living forms, is a naked mass of living matter. or protoplasm, flowing out in all directions in "blunt processes," and the endlessly varying form has earned for the simple animal the popular name of "amoeba" (Proteus animalcnlae). They are all minute, but some are distinctly visible to the unaided eye. The Jelly-like creature flows along the surface of stone or plant by the slow protrusion of its ever changing processes and in this way gets around its food. It Is all stomach, any part of it taking hold of and dig 'ng the food that happei ! to come- intact with it. On atta king its m. m size the amoeba drt ^^?elf and breaks into two d .^tei^ loebas. each of which conta ehalf o?.' the mother nucleus.
