When, in 1876, BENJAMIN DIsRAELG was
advocating the passage Of the bill making
Queen VICTORIA Empress Of India. he spoke Of
the day when "A chain Of tortresses would bind
the Ganges to tho Thames" A little while ago
Cyprus was added TO that chain and now the

In tho Indian ocean has become an integral
portion of the empire upon which tho sun
never sets. Socotra il bold, picturesque
island, equal in area to the State Of Rhode Island
and containing mountains which tower
to the height Of 5000 feet above the
tropical seas which surround 1t. II lies 100
miles to the eastward n Alden. another British
station, at tho mouth Of the Red sea, and. like
the latter, occupies commanding position in
the trnck OF the vessels going from Bonn
bay to Suez. II contains but few thou
sand inhabitants, and is chiefly ccle-
brated for its aloes and tho gum Of the
dragons blood tree mentioned by SINDAD the
Sailor. The English Government contemplated
its occupation as early as 1884 and even went
SO far as 10 land troops there. but subsequently,
abandoned it for Aden Now however they
have takcn possession in earnest. Socotra was
originally colonzcd by the soldiers Of ALExAN-
DER the Great and il famed as having been the
