HEAD HUNTING.
"SPORT" IN THE SOLOMONS.
Head hunting still continues to be the popular sport with the natives of Choisel, writes our Suva (Fiji) correspondent.' That they do not lack for entertainment of this sort is very evident to any who happen to have reasons for visiting this island. Villages are practically wiped out, old men, women, and children slaughtered to satisfy the blood lust, gardens stamped flat, mission stations that have taken years of strenuous wearying work to establish are made untenable or kept going under conditions that are not at all peaceful. No official action has so far been taken to bring peace and goodwill towards men on ChoiVil. .
