' On the island' of Maritlus the flre walklng ceremony Is a, part of the an nua festival, and is performed every yearrFire-walklrfg" has heen ' referred. to by writers on the subject as "The Maritlus Miracle," and it is a matter of record that at one time the gover nor of the FIJI Islands, hearing that some of his guests were Incredulous, caused the ceremony to be performed for the vice-regal party, before about five hundred native spectators. The Polynesian Society have given much attention to the question recent ly in Its quarterly journals, and a late number contains as Interesting arti cle on the subject written by Miss Teuira Henry, of Kukul street, this city. Miss Henry was herself born In Tahiti and Jived there a number of years, and her article aroused much comment from able writers and people who had been eye-witnesses of the reremonv. Miss Henry gives a full account of the performance, with r translation of the Incantations accom panying the feat According to her account the fire-walking is a ceremony that goes with the feast of ti-root, per formed when the huge oven is made ready for the baking of the feast In an excavation some thirty fee across, both ways, logs and sticks are piled, and the stone3 are placed on top, The logs are then set nre unaerneam and within a period of twenty-iou hours have burned low, leaving the stones at white heat, ready for the baking of the 41-root feast' It Is then that the sorcerer calls upon his spirits, summoning them with his ti-leaf wand, and calling upon them in the chant of incantation: "0, spirits who heated the oven! Let it die out! Oh. dark earth-worms; Oh, light earth-worms! FresWater and salt water, heat of the oven, and red ness of the oven, hold up the footsteps of the walkers, and fan tbe heat of the bed; Oh. cold beings! Let us lie in the midst of the oven! Oh, Great Woman- who-sets-flre-to-the-skles! Hold the fan, and let us go Into the oven for a little while!" Still chanting, the leader steps into tbe oven and walks over the stones, followed by the people who are to par- take of the feast, waving the wana, and circling about over . the stones, without burn or pain. The "Great-Woman-who-sets-fire-to- the-skles" Is the leading spirit of the fire-walkers, and to her is attributed the possession of the dread lightning and thunderbolt. MIsa Henry does not attempt to ex- olain the miraculous performance, but leaves the solution or the surprising feat tn wlentltsta. Her statement Is merely the statement of an eye-wu ness. A Mr. Hastwell. in a San Francisco pamphlet, gives the following account "The natives of Kaiatea nave some nerformancea so entirely out or the ordinary course of events as to instl tute inquiry as to proper solution, un the 20th of September. 1885, I witness ed the wonderful, and to me Inexplica ble, performance of passing througn the "Fiery Furnace." The furnace that I saw was an excavation of three or four feet in the ground, of circular form, sloping upward, and about thirty feet across. The excavation was nnea with logs and wood, and then covered with large stones. A fire was built underneath and kept burning for about a day. When I witnessed it, on the second day, the flames were pourln no through Interstices of the rocks which were heated to a red and white for truth in every age and time!

"This strange ceremony con nected with the tl-oven," he write3, used to be practiced by the heathen priests.
