PAPUAN SCOUTS.
The Scout movement has spread to the South Seas, and there is no keener troop than that on Baclu Island in Torres Strait. The boys are among the smartest in the movement, aud they tukc great in-' terest in their Scouting jobs, which include many forms of servico not known to most Boy Scouts. They arc all expert turtle hunters and dugong fishers, and some of them make a good living by diving for pearls and shells. They can handle a sailing .boat with the greatest of ease, and are probably more at home in the water than on land.
