 ing rather slowly; I find myself looking among the pleasant multitudes of the streets for types that promise congenial conversation.

My sense of loneliness is increased during this interlude by the better social success of the botanist. I find him presently falling into conversation with two women who are accustomed to sit at a table near our own. They wear the loose, coloured robes of soft material that are the usual wear of common adult Utopian women; they are both dark and sallow, and they affect amber and crimson in their garments. Their faces strike me as a little unintelligent, and there is a faint touch of middle-aged coquetry in their bearing that I do not like. Yet on earth we should consider them women of exceptional refinement. But the botanist evidently sees in this direction scope for the feelings that have wilted a little under my inattention, and he begins that petty intercourse of a word, of a slight civility, of vague inquiries and comparisons that leads at last to associations and confidences. Such superficial confidences, that is to say, as he finds satisfactory.

This throws me back upon my private observations.

The general effect of a Utopian population is vigour. Everyone seems to be not only in good health but in training; one rarely meets fat people, bald people, or bent or grey. People who would be obese or bent and obviously aged on earth are here in good repair, and as a consequence the whole effect of a crowd is livelier and more invigorating than on earth. The dress is varied and graceful; that of the women reminds one most of the Italian fifteenth cen-

 tury; they have an abundance of soft and beautifully coloured stuffs, and the clothes, even of the poorest, fit admirably. Their hair is very simply but very carefully and beautifully dressed, and except in very sunny weather they do not wear hats or bonnets. There is little difference in deportment between one class and another; they all are graceful and bear themselves with quiet dignity, and among a group of them a European woman of fashion in her lace and feathers, her hat and metal ornaments, her mixed accumulations of "trimmings," would look like a barbarian tricked out with the miscellaneous plunder of a museum. Boys and girls wear much the same sort of costume—brown leather shoes, then a sort of combination of hose and close-fitting trousers that reaches from toe to waist, and over this a beltless jacket fitting very well, or a belted tunic. Many slender women wear the same sort of costume. We should see them in it very often in such a place as Lucerne, as they returned from expeditions in the mountains. The older men would wear long robes very frequently, but the greater proportion of the men would go in variations of much the same costume as the children. There would certainly be hooded cloaks and umbrellas for rainy weather, high boots for mud and snow, and cloaks and coats and furry robes for the winter. There would be no doubt a freer use of colour than terrestrial Europe sees in these days, but the costume of the women at least would be soberer and more practical, and (in harmony with our discussion in the previous chapter) less differentiated from the men's.

But these, of course, are generalisations. These

No prosecutor shall adduce an accused as a witness.

An accused may adduce himself as a witness. In the event that an accused adduce himself as a witness, the court may permit his evidence to be taken before that of the other defence witnesses. If the evidence given by one accused incriminates or prejudices another accused, the latter accused may cross-examine him.

No witness shall be required to reply to a question which may directly or indirectly incriminate him. When such a question occurs, the court shall warn the witness.

During a trial, the court has the power to interrogate any prosecutor, accused, or witness as it finds appropriate.

No accused shall be interrogated merely for corroborating the case for the prosecution when it is defective, save where the accused adduces himself as a witness.

Rh tion, direction, section. Thus అక్షం axam the eye. Elsewhere it is sounded like చ cha. Thus సూక్ష్మమ్, సాక్షి, సాక్ష్యం sooxmam, fine sāxi, a witness and saxyam, testimony, are sounded nearly as sooch-mam, sarchee, sarch-yam. The letter x is in Spanish pronounced like sh. Thus Texiera and Xeres are sounded Tesshira and Sheres.

It has already been stated that the circle or cipher ం called sunna is used as a substitute for any nasal letter. But it is wrong to place it in conjugation with న N or మ M.

Thus the words anna elder brother and tammudu younger brother should be written అన్న, తమ్ముడు Some persons write అంన తంముడు or even అంన్న, అంమ్ముడు but these modes are disapproved. In the latter, which is in general use, the N and M are needlessly tripled.

In some particular words the sunna is inserted when required by rule. Thus తమ్ముడు tammudu may become తమ్మండు tammundu. The ం thus inserted is called ఆదేశసున్న ādēsa sunna.

When sunna is followed by a consonant of the first four classes (varga) it is N; but the remaining letters (P, Ph, B, Bh, M, Y, R, L, V, S, Sh, S, H, X) sound it as M and it likewise is M whenever it stands at the end of a word. Thus the word Sanscrit సంస్కృతం is pronounced Sams-cru-tam. The words సంవాదం conversation సంయోగం juncture సంశయం doubt are in like manner pronounced sam-vadam, sam-yogam (or, sayyōgam) and sam-sa-yam.

 During a trial, the court has the power to order removal of a person who is to serve as a witness and is not the accused from the trial chamber until he is introduced for giving evidence. In addition, once the witness has finished giving his evidence, he may be permitted to wait inside the trial chamber.

The court shall docket a testimony given in the course of a preliminary examination or trial and read it out for the witness to hear in the presence the accused, save in the events prescribed in section 165, paragraph 3.

Only the original document can be adduced as evidence. If the original cannot be found, a certified true copy or oral evidence of its contents can be adduced.

If a public document is adduced as evidence, even though the original still exists, a copy certified true by an authority may be sent, save where the summons indicates otherwise.

When any document is adduced by a party but it is not being retained by him, if he notifies the court of its nature and location,

When a document is used as evidence in court, it shall be read or sent to the parties for inspection. If any party wants a copy, the court has the power to order the party adducing it to send a copy to the other party as it finds appropriate.

Anything used as real evidence must be brought to the court.

In the event that it cannot be brought, the court shall go inspect and make a note of it at the very place where it is, per the time and method which the court finds appropriate according to its nature.

During an inquiry, preliminary examination, or trial, the parties or witnesses must be permitted to inspect an article used as real evidence.

If it has been unpacked or unsealed, repacking or resealing must be made in the presence of the relevant parties or witnesses.

And the English people, if they desire protection in my country, whatever their desire may be, I approve of it? and if they desire to sail away from my country, I approve; let no one forbid them thus to sail. But if any one has any claim upon them, or if they are indebted to anyone, let them not sail until they have paid or until the judge has decided their cases; and when their cases are decided they may sail.

 There is also a sacred tiger possessed by the fairy as her sole guardian of the mountain. It always sits half-way down the mountain. As most of the uneducated are superstitious, they believe that there is also a kind of plant grown near the house of the fairy, and any one who gets a leaf from that plant and eats it, besides being always young and beautiful, will never die. Many of the ancient people of Malacca attempted to get some of the leaves, and many lost their lives in the attempts because of their absurdity.

This story was first told by a Malay who accidentally reached the top of the mountain. One day while cutting wood with some of his companions be was accidentally separated from them and was left alone in the forests. What was his alarm when he saw a tiger; and being unable to get rid of the wild beast, he fell on the ground and fainted. He was carried to the fairy, and being a worshipper, as people were in those days, he was well treated. He stayed there for several hours, and was told to pick some of the largest lumps of saffron and take them home. While he was walking the bag became heavier, and he then threw some of the lumps away. When he reached home he found that the saffron turned into gold. This is the story which the Malays as well as the Straits Chinese believe about Mt. Ophir or Gunong Leydang."

 Golden Flowers.

There was living in Singapore not many years ago a Chinaman in very poor circumstances, who possessed, however, a small garden, in which grew a plant of the Pandan Wangi (Pandanus laevis), a tree which is often cultivated for its scented leaves used for flavouring rice and for making a kind of pot pourri used at weddings. He supplied the tree liberally with manure, and one moonlight night be was surprised to see it bearing a red flower. Going to examine it next day, no flower was to be seen, but next night it was there again, and he climbed up and got it, and put it on a table in his house. On the

Whoever, whether or not by cause of his occupation, specialises in any field, such as science, arts, handicraft, commerce, medicine, or foreign law, and whose opinion may be of use to the ruling of a case, may, in the course of an inquiry, preliminary examination, or trial, serve as a witness in such matters as the inspection of the body or mind of the injured person, alleged offender, or accused, the inspection of fingerprints, the conduct of experiments, or other affairs.

The court may permit the specialist to submit his opinion in writing, but it must require him to give evidence corroborating such writing. Copies of the said writing shall, not less than three days in advance of the day of giving evidence, be sent to the parties for their knowledge.

If, as a result of a preliminary eamination, trial, or inquiry, it is found necessary to inspect a corpse, even though the corpse has already been coffined or interred, a court or superior administrative or police official has the power to order the corpse to be inspected by a specialist.

 following morning he found it was changed into gold, and broke off a bit and took it off to sell. On returning, he found the bit he had broken off had grown again, and this continued till he became a very rich man. On his death the flower disappeared, and the family became comparatively poor again. The Pandan Wangi very rarely flowers (indeed I have never seen the flowers of it), and the male flowers are white and sweet-scented, like those of any other Pandanus.

Recently a Javanese who was in the Botanic gardens on a moonlight evening perceived on the stem of a wild fig-tree (Ficus Miquelii) at a height of about ten feet from the ground, a red flower about as big as a large marigold. Not knowing the peculiarity of the Gold flower, he went to call a companion to look at it, when it immediately vanished, nor has it reappeared. It seems that the gold flower objects to a crowd, and will only be visible to certain fortunate persons, and this cooly, by calling a companion to see it and not immediately seizing the flower, bas missed his opportunity of becoming a wealthy man. It is hardly necessary to say that the flowers of the fig are enclosed in the fig itself, which is mistaken for the fruit by the natives, who imagine that fig-trees have no flowers at all but only fruits. And thus, as, like the Pandan, it has normally no flowers, it is just the kind of tree you would expect to find gold flowers on.

 Remarks on the Rhinoceros Hornbill (Buceros Rhinoceros),

Writing of the Rhinoceros Hornbill in his interesting paper on Singapore Birds, Mr. Ridley says, "The beak and casque are naturally white, but during life are coloured orange and red. This is done by the bird itself, which every morning rubs ita beak against a gland beneath its tail, whence exudes an orange-red liquid which colours the beak."

The gland (uropygial) is above and not below the tail; below is of course a lapsus calami. In a letter to Mr. Ridley I told him that I thought the red colour on the bill, thoug [sic]

I am especially indebted to the Prefect of the Vatican Library, the librarian of the venerable monastery of Grotta Ferrata, the authorities of the Vallicelliana, Laurenziana, and Riccardiana, Signore Levi of the Marciana, and M. Omont of the National Library. The heads of the Court Library at Vienna, the University Library at Leipzip, and the University Library at Messina have kindly permitted me to have photographs taken of manuscripts in their respective collections. The time is gone by for thanking the late Prefect of the Ambrosian Library. Let me at least say that I count it among the happiest results for me of these studies to have seen and spoken with Antonio Ceriani.

 We proceeded to the neighbouring park. Favoured by the full moon the duel commenced, and I shot the baron dead.—“But,” began one of the assembly, “where did you get the fire-arms from all at once ?”

“No interruption now, if I may beg of you !” said the Major rather angrily. Let me speak out ! In the end everything will be cleared up .—I therefore shot, as I have already said, the baron Zitzerling dead. That circumstance compelled me so much the more not only speedily to leave Weimar, but Saxony, in as much as the Zitzerlings are, as is well known, a very ancient family.

“An ancient family?” some one asked.

“Yes indeed !—But if I am to finish, I decline all interruptions once for all , as the conclusion will surely completely fill up every gap in the story.”

Surprised at this expression evidently bordering on incivility, the company looked at each other; yet the major did not seem to notice anything of it, and henceforth addressed himself solely to the baron de Hinz with his narrative.

But my wonder at the good carrying out of the strange idea, which was the foundation of this new institution, had not yet expressed itself in words , when a young man worked his way most incivilly through the numerous assembly and half out of breath addressed me thus :

“I beg your pardon, are you not Mr. Johnson?”

“At your service .”

“Did you not shoot, the baron Zitzerling in duel, at Weimar?”

“Your servant ?”

“The baron Zitzerling was my brother; I intend to avenge his death and request you to come tomorrow morning at four o’clock with pistols to the Prater.”

“Very well !” said I. I rode there next morning, found my opponent at the entrance and followed him to a somewhat secluded avenue. We took up the pistols and I shot him dead.

It was certainly very annoying to me to be obliged on account of this occurrence, so soon to leave beautiful Vienna. But my safety required it. In order however to avoid as much as possible similar interruptions, I this time proposed to myself at once a more distant journey; I sped through a part of Italy

 and only permitted myself some repose in Rome. One day standing admiringly before the cascade of Tivoli, a young man suddenly taps me on the shoulders and asks:—

“Your pardon, are you not Mr. Johnson?”

“At your service!”

“Did you not in a duel shoot two barons Zitzerling, one at Weimar, the other at Vienna?”

“Your servant!”

“The barons Zitzerling were my brothers; I intend to avenge their death, and request you to fight with me yonder close by .”

After this I went to Paris. But visiting the museum there on the second day, a young man joins me and inquires:—

“Your pardon, are you not Mr. Johnson?”

“At your service.”

“Did you not shoot in duel three barons Zitzerling, one at Weimar, one at Vienna, and one at Rome?”

“Your servitor!”

“The barons Zitzerling were my brothers; I intend to avenge their death and request you to see me with pistols this afternoon, at the stroke of three o’clock at the end of the Bois de Boulogne .”

“Very well,” said I, and rode there in the afternoon.

 My opponent had already arrived ; we took up the pistols and I shot him dead.

In as much as it could not be my object to send still more Zitzerlings into the other world, I resolved, hoping to be quite safe in my native country from the relatives of those already perished, to leave the continent altogether; I therefore went to Calais, embarked and arrived safely in Dover. In reality it also appeared as if the relations or at least their knowledge of my differences with the family did not extend as far as London; for I lived here some time quite undisturbed by the Zitzerlings. Once however as I was engaged at Lloyd’s coffee-rooms at a game of chess, I accidentally looked up and became so confused through a young man opposite who did not cease staring at me for a moment , that I made a false move in consequence and my whole otherwise excellent game became imperilled.

“Sir,” said I jumping up, “why do you stare at me thus incessantly ?”

“Your pardon,” said he, “are you not Mr. Johnson?”

“At your service.”

“Did you not shoot in duel four barons Zitzerling, one at Weimar, one at Vienna, one at Rome and one in Paris?”
