NORTH ISLAND TRUNK KAILWAY.

\u25a0 \u2666 The " Wairarapa Diily " learna from Mr W. H. Beetham, who has recently taken a trip over the North Ijland Main Trunk Railway route, that he left Wei lingTtn with tho Hon. Mr Richardson m Friday, ibe 6:h lost, reaching Honter vllle tha same eveniDg, where Mr J. G WHbod, M.H,R., j .Ined the party. On Saturday the trio followed up the Rv»gl tlkel through a well graded bridle track to Hantapa Valley, paesing through goo'l land. Next day they reached Studholme'e cattle station at Roanui, en the souroa of the Toraklna rlvor, and found tha land of fair quality, »61l sown and grassed. On j Monday they laft Raiuu!, and reached Keiloi, on the^Muriiaotu Plains, and were very much disappointed with the quality j of the land there. Oa Taeeday they followed the proposed line of the railway up the mountains on the west of Ruapehu, and were Burpriaed to notice the enormoaH mama of money which had been expended on road making The expenditure on bridges was someth'ng tremendous, one alone cob' ing £4000, with the prospect of beooming rotten before any oirt was likely to go over it. Oa Wednesday the parly camped on the Wakamarina plains, a beautiful, undulating country, but with soil of very inferior quality. Next day they travelled to Tokano, over fiue looklng country, watered by beautiful mountain streams, and doited with nice patches of bush, but the land Is most inferior, and m a long day's ride they did not Eea a single bit of good soil. Mr Beetham declared that the land would not pay to occupy, is unfitted for small settlers, and woald not pay to take up even ss a sheep run. They were extre mely disappointed with its quality. H. 9 thought that, Id the present state of the finances of the colony, to take a railway through it with a view to opening up good country would be an absurdity After a day's rest atTokano, the party returned to Kertoi by the eastern aide cf the mountains, across a worthless country. A day later they reached Erewhon, where land of a better quality was found, witn a limestone formation, and crossing by a short cut '.o Hautft;>u, they were grat fied. to mott with countty of j» superior quality, but these groi lands vrobld e&Bily be tapped by a roid from Hunter ville.

MONKEY-LIKE AND WOMEN

lnfoiirution fa givsn by Co'ar©" r?n Corrtt, a French traveller, concerning b> very wonderful tribe, oich rjiember r.f which possesses a tail. They worship tha heavenly bodies, reptiles, «nd rlvera Tbelr food constitutes raw fiiab, human flaßh being thought a delicacy. This ruco is called the Ghilane tribe They live m a country far beyond thp Senaar, number ing about 40.000. This French traveller, being fn Mecca m 1842, vaittd an emir occasionally. One day he epnke to him about this curious race, telling him how much the Europeans doubted their existence. It turned out that ore of the emir's elavea belocged to this tribe, so that Colonel dia Corret hud an opportunity of seeing cue of these marvellous being*, whiob he> immediately did. The slave's name was BellaU. He possessed a eoft, vevety skin ; his face was repuleivtly ng'y ; hh mouth enor mous ; his ear* were loog and deformod ; his height was about five feat ; hia tail was more then three inches long, and aa flexible as that of a m,onkey. Another race of men possessing a characteiistio of the monkey is a ts-iba called the Aniop, who - t inhabit a moun tainous district lv Japan. They are completely covered with h»!r, the growth of w.hbh is so thick that they are able to dispense with clothing of any sort. Bat, strange aa this seems, ihero are recorded individual growths of hair which place the above-mentioned tribo m the background. The instance about to be ! related is that of Shwe Maon, a native of j Bjrmah, and bis family. I A Mr Crawford w«a the fmt; to call attention to tbia retnarkabio family having seen them bimeeif. The growth of hair seectiß to hive been hereditary. Shwo Maon i 3 covered complo'ely with hair, which ia very emooth and eiky, and. m colour of a silvery grey, but it varie 3 a l.ttle both m shade and kng:h. iie ha a hair evtn ineido his eara and nostril.}. The length of hair is gru&teat on hia for< .•-' head and cheeks, belita uight inohi'a lo.i^ - on the rest <f hia face it is only about for\c Jnchtß m length ; on the other parts of body the hair varies m length from five to four irchfa and even shorter. He married at the age of 22, and had foor children, of whicn the eldea' j an a youngest died. Only one of the re:r , n i n i c , g two was hairy ; thia was the y ounger.
