NATIVE LIFE IN THE CAROLINES
SLIDES GIVEN MUSEUM IMPORTANT COLLECTION [ Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, March 1. A remarkable collection of lantern slides of native life in the Caroline Islands 30 to 40 years ago has been presented to the Dominion Museum by Mrs. F. W. Christian, whose husband, a former librarian of the Palmerston North Public Library, was the second European to explore that group. The collection is comprehensive and is of great value from an ethnological standpoint. The late Mr. Christian spent a considerable time in the Caroline Islands at a time when the natives had not been interfered with to any great exfent by outside influences and he came to be regarded as a leading authority on the group. His book on the Carines is still considered a classic on the subject.
