ANOTHER forceful illustration of the fact that "the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty," has just been supplied by Stoepel, the well-known German explorer, who has recently made the ascent, for the first time, of Mt. Morrison, the highest mountain in Formosa. It was while making this exploration and ascent that Stoepel came upon a tribe of man-eaters heretofore unknown, and distinct from any known race. These men have maintained complete isolation, never communicating with the Chinese, and are of Malayan origin. They are skull-hunters—always on the hunt for human heads. Stoepel actually witnessed the progress of a cannibal feast, while hiding in the underbrush. A dispute having arisen in Taiko, Formosa, over the paternity of a child, an appeal to head-hunting was regarded as the only way by which the righteousness of the child's case could be determined. The result was a massacre, in which thirty heads fell, after which the savages indulged in a feast, at which the heads of the murdered villagers were conspicuously displayed.—Missionary Review.
