The island of Scio, which has been so
terribly shaken by earthquake, lies in
the Grecian Archipelago, off the coast of
Asia Minor. 1t is separated from the
main land by the Strait of Scio, which
is four miles wide in its narrowest part.
The area of the island is about four
hundred square miles, and It's present
population is about fifty thousand, most
of whom are Turks. Limestone ridges
traverse Scio, giving it a rocky and un-
even surface and picturesque appear
ance. There are a few small streams of
water in the alleys, but most of the
irrigation is by means of water from
wells. Only a small part of the island
is arable Gum mastic is the staple
production, among the other produc-
tlons being silk, cotton, wool, fruit and
oil. Considerable wine is also made ON
the island. The chief city and capital
is Scio, or Kastlo, situated near the
middle of the east coast and having
Ia, 500 residents The city is pro-
tected by castle, has a harbor and
manufactures of silk, velvet and cotton.
In ancient times the chief city was
called Scios, and claimed to have been
the birthplace of Homer. The history
of the island runs back centuries before
Christ In 1914 B. G. it was invaded
and laid waste by the Persians. Scio
became a member of the Athenian
league in 479 B. O., and recovered is
independence in 35S B. O. Philip V. of
Macedon, took possession of the islapl
in 201 B. c., and it afterward became
subject to Rome. Turks captured the
chief city and massacred the inhabitants
early in the fourteenth century. Then
the Genoese gained possession in 1916,
and held it until 1866, when it again
fell into the hands of the Turks. With
the exception of a short period when it
belonged to Venice, Scio has been
under Turkish rule up to the present
time. The inhabitants rose against the
Turks during the Greek revolution in
1892, but were soon put down and made
to suffer terribly for their 6ction With
in two months $4,000 persons, without
regard to sex or age, were put to the
sword, $4,000 being sold into slavery,
and 5000 fled to escape death. AS
result the Christian population of nearly
104, 600 was reduced to 1000. A Greek
force commanded by Colonel Fabvier, q
Frenchman, attacked the Turkish garri-
son of Scio in 1927, but were beaten and
driven from the island.

cisco.
It is proposed to hold in London dur
ing the first week of next August an JIM
ternational medical congress, and the
arrangements are already sufficiently adj
vanced to warrant the belief that it will
be the largest and most important gath
ering of the kind ever held. -Four thou
sand invitations have been sent out to
medical men in all parts of the world,
and the responses indicate that at least
half this number will attend. Some of
the most eminent men in the profession
in England are taking an active interest
in the proposed congress, which will be
presided over by Sir James Paget, and
of which the queen and Prince of Wales
have consented to be patrons. -Four
general addresses will be given by as
many men of distinguished interna-
tional reputation, representing France,
Germany, America and England. Pro-
fessor Huxley, who is member of the
Royal College of Surgeons, as well as q
man of science, has accepted the Tespon-
sibility of delivering the English adj
dress. In the vast range of topics which
the discussion and papers will embrace,
perhaps none will excite a livelier in
terest than military surgery and medi-
cine. The chief subjects under this
head will be the hygiene of armies and
fleets, the health of soldiers at home and
abroad, and the best means of extending
TO field and other temporary hospitals
the recent improvement in the treatment
of wounds and injuries by what is called
the antiseptic method.

WISE WORDS.
Fortune unmasks men.

Fortune unmasks men.
1t is the worst wheel that squeaks the
most.
Better three honrs too soon than one
minute too late.
Experience is the name men give to
their follies or their sorrows.
Discomfort is the want of self-reli-
ance, it is the infirmity of will.
Good breeding shows itself most
where to an ordinary eye it appears the
least.
Stay not until you are told of op-
portunities to do good; inquire after
them.
The worst education that teaches self
denial is better than the best that
teaches everything else and not that.
Opportunities are very sensitive
things; if you slight them on their
first visit you seldom see them again.
Self-respect is the noblest garment
with which a man may clothe himself
the most elevating feeling with which
the mind can be inspired.
The law of the harvest is to reap
more than you SOW. Sow an act and
you reap habit; SOW habit and you
reap character; SOW character and
you reap destiny.
We perhaps never detect how much
of our social demeanor is made up of
artificial airs until we see a person who
is at once beautiful and simple; without
the beauty we are apt to call simplicity
awkwardness.
A cheerful temper, joined with inno-
cence, viii make beauty attractive,
knowledge delightful and wit good-na-
tured. 1t will Tighten sickness, poverty
and affliction, convert ignorance into an
amiable simplicity and render deformity

The other day pewter-colored, ring

was crawling along Michigan avenue,
with an emigrant family under the cover,
when a man on the corner called out !;
Say, is that an Arabian hoss ?"
The stranger drove up to the curb

said.

Over $4,000 buffalo have been killed
in Montana within the past six months,
all but some 10000 being slain for their
hides alone, which bring from 1925 to

say that this wholesale slaughter is rap

is not attended by children, as might
have been supposed, but by business

small congregation of itself. This looks

The Jeanette search expedition to the
Arctic ocean is expected to sail from San
Francisco soon. 1t will be remembered
that when the Jeanette sailed, her com
mander arranged with the navy depart
ment to leave records Of his cruise at GER
tain points. One of the chosen places
is the southeast corner Of Wrangel island,
and the first stop on the search will prob
ably be made there about the first of
August. If no message should be found
at that point the expedition vessel will
proceed TO Herald island in the hope of
finding there some trace of the missing
steamer. The search along the coast of
these two islands will probably take two
months, when theArctic winter will begin.
The searching party will then find a
secure harbor at Wrangle island, and, if
this is not possible, cross over to Siberia
aud go into winter quarters there.
During the winter sledge parties Will be
organized and sent out in search of news
of the Jeanette. Captain Berry, who

regions His orders are not to stay

bureau of survey, is the great cause of
fires. In seven years, 1874 to 1880, in

Two out of five, 2,579, we're due to hot
ashes, pipes, cigars, matches and can

hues, and SIS from kerosene lamps.
