HUMAN HEADS.
TO IH3 KDITOB OT "iHX «HMS." Sir, —In the excavations for powerhouse at Arapuni, headless human remains wcro alleged to have been found. A volcanic disturbance is suggested as overwhelming cave-dwellers. I should say it is quite an improbable reason why tho victims lost their, heads, and would suggest that tho heads were pickled and sold to anatomical students or to tho museums of Europe when the Arapuni residents were done for in bygono centuries.—Yours, etc., AN'AMATEUR TEC.
