A novel use of a signal lamp was that devised by one or the last kings of the Betsileo tribe in southern Madagascar, wnereby he was able to call any one, or several, of his wives for company; to summon his chief-- tains for counsel; or to inform wives, counsellors and all other per-- sons that he craved solitude. _ The royal lamp thus was obkained by the Captain Marshall Field} Anthropolo-- gical Expedition to Madagascar last year, and is now part of a collection in exhibition in a hall recently open-- ed to the public at Field Museum of Natural History. . > each of the chiefs of the four main clars of the tribe: The king called one, several or all of these men by lighting the lamps of those he wish-- ed to see. f Further down on the stand is a series of five more cdps, indicating the wives.
