Kavieng, Jan. 3.

Mr. H. A. Markham, of the British Solomon Islands, has settled down for another year as British Administrative Officer on Christmas Island, in the Gil bert & Ellice Colony. “The climate here is the finest I have struck in all my travels, which have been considerable,” he writes. “The fresh trade-winds blow all insects away to sea, including flies and mosquitoes, which in my estimation makes life worth living.” Christmas Island is practically on the Equator.
