To withdraw from the agreement and abandon the islands to Germany and Great Britain would not be compatible with our interests in the archipelago.
Donat, acting Vice-Resident, greeted us alone, and entertained us with cocoa-nut punches in the Sessions Hall and seat of judgment of that widespread archipelago, our glasses standing arrayed with summonses and census returns.
In some of them even digestion, or at least the absorption of undecomposed soluble animal juices, may be suspected; but there is no proof of it. But, if pitchers of the Sarracenia family are only macerating vessels, those of Nepenthes the pitchers of the Indian Archipelago, familiar in conservatories seem to be stomachs. The investigations of the President of the Royal Society, Dr.
May God have pity on us both. Jadwiga. It is done! Count Skorzewski! Jadwiga. Ha! Show him in! Show him in! Ha! ha! ha! Apollo and Hermes once met toward evening on the rocks of Pnyx and were looking on Athens. The evening was charming; the sun was already rolled from the Archipelago toward the Ionian Sea and had begun to slowly sink its radiant head in the water which shone turquoise-like.
And though some of Mr. Wallace's speculations on ethnology may be doubtful, no one doubts that in the archipelago he has studied so well, as often elsewhere in the world, though rarely with such marked emphasis, we find like men in contrasted places, and unlike men in resembling places.

When I returned to Singapore I took with me the Malay lad named Ali, who subsequently accompanied me all over the Archipelago.
The most destructive volcanic explosion of recent times, one perhaps unequalled in violence in all times, was that of the small mountain island of Krakatoa, in the East Indian Archipelago, in 1883. This made its effects felt round the entire globe, and excited such wide attention that we feel called upon to give it a chapter of its own.
[Spain's discovery and occupation.] The Philippines were discovered by Magellan on the 16th of March, 1521 St. Lazarus' day.
