At the hospitable dinner-table tf Mr. and Mrs. Bill Seale— \e is the District Commissioner \t Goroka, New Guinea—we Commented upon the quality of he roast duck.

“Passionfruit,” said Mr. Seale, vho rarely wastes words. ‘Good God,” 1 exclaimed, hat’s a new one. Do you tuff them with passionfruit?”

“Yes, in a sense” And then he story came out.

The DC maintains a large olony of ducks. There is a mssionfruit-canning factory in goroka, where ingenious nachinery throws the skins one \ray, the seeds another, and runs he juice into cans. Mr. Seale examined the waste eeds. Then they were crushed md fed to the ducks. The poultry responded gratifyingly is it appears that the seeds lontain all the vitamins that \uild fat and tender ducks. [ The news is spreading and \assionfruit-fed ducks may be come an attraction for High an d s tourists. Meanwhile, wizens of Goroka now sit \round, in odd moments, and tare thoughtfully at the mountains of passionfruit skins, vhich are increasing as this me Cottee industry develops.
