Spring In the Arctic. When one looks at a map of thft Pacific ocean and Alaska, the Aleutian islands, straggling off toward Siberia, seem to be well up toward the North pole. It comes as something of a shock, therefore, to learn thut spring Is well under way up there near the arctic circle. Proof of this has Just been brought to Taconia, AVash by the American freight steamer West Nimrod, which arrived from the Orient with a lot of big grasshoppers on board that were picked up 600 miles from land. TVe ship's officers report that besides the insects that alighted on the decks the sea was dotted with quantities of them that had fallen from exhaustion.

The grasshoppers are equipped with air sacs, in addition to breathing tubes. Tacoma biologists say the grasshoppers are able to fly long distances, and, when they alight on the water, are buoyed up by the air sacs. These authorities also arsert that the big insects came from the Aleutian islands, where they are abundant in recipes now as to the best methods of energy ot tne sun an its help preparing human food. Huge Stove Oven Uted. "In one part of the country there a stone oven six feet long dug Into a side of a hill for the purpose of dealing with the victims The inhabitants of one village may attack another.

The prisoners are tortured terribly, and then eaten. One mathod is to take out their eyes and then roast the body alive in the tiaditionnl three- legged caldron.i The cannibals break the bones and legs of their victims bt forehand sometimes, and then let body he in a running stream, which method, they believe, makes the meat more tender. The odd feature of it all is that the most determined cannibals are extremely ell-mannf red, and in all other respects are the best workers you can find. As to whether cannibalism springs from the love of human flesh or Is merely a ritual one cannot say. I think the cannibals really like the human flesh But you cannot get them to talk about it.

"Soi eery has a remarkable hold on the people in this country, and the occult powers that ore displayed can only be regarded byifwhite people as amusing. The natives even have a sorcerers' university where natives are taught for a period of -o jears.

Saturated in Hypnotism. "I believe these natives understand hypnotism from end to end They do table-turning with a sort of alligator- shaped Image They ask questions of spirits, and see bine lights.

This happens In the Gulf country The power of hypnotism is used to an extent that seems barely credible, but there is no doubt, to my mind, that certain natives are believed to hypnotize audiences, and they do It in one Instance bj means of a dance of the most peculiar character. I have seen this dance, and the extraordinary effect of It. The performer apparently dominates the whole of the room by his actions. The effect of the dancing Is that hjpnosis on a massed scale like this can be induced in the vvlerdest possible way. "Several people have tried to Investigate the meaning of the mind, but they have not succeeded.

It is qutto obvious that the natives are saturated In hypnotism as a result of t' p--ic- tice of many centuries, which enables them to do all sorts of things that to us are alwavs Inexplicable I do not admire spiritualism 01 hypnotism, and I urn rather glad to find that it lias its roots among savages.
