TONS OF MANUSCRIPTS.
Statistics from the Century Ma gazine'
EdftnriaI Rooma

Statistics from the Century Ma gazine's
Editorial Rooms.
During the past two years from eight
thousand five hundred TO nine thousand
manuscripts were annually submitted
to the Century Magazine for publica-
ton. This is an increase over previous
years, and does not include the hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of PROPOSE
tions submitted with regard to articles.
As there has been an increase in the
number of periodicals published in
America of late years, and as the news
papers are publishing more contribu-
tions than ever by writers not on the
regular staff, it is evident that there
has been an increase in literary activi-
ty at least in proportion to the increase
in population.
Now out of nine thousand manuscri pts
year the Century can only possibly
print four hundred or less. 1t follows
that editing a magazine is not unlike
walking into a garden of flowers and
gathering a single bouquet. In other
words, not to accept an article, a story,
a poem, is not necessarily 70 eject
it. There may be weeds in the garden
there must be weeds in the garden
but the fact that a particular blossom
is not gathered into the monthly bou-
quet does not prove that the editor re-
garded the blossom as a weed and
therefore passed it by. 1t would be inn
possible to sweep all the flowers into a
single handful. The rejected" or de
clined" are naturally prone to gibe at
sympathetic or Apologize words from
editorial sources, so we present the
above simile with considerable diff
dence. There is truth in IL, neverthe-
less! And it would probably be much
easier for editors to make up mum Der
of bouquets from the flowers at their
disposal than to gather the single one
for which alone they have room

A Traveller Tells About the Strangest
Sight He Ever Saw.
Harry lockwood, a young man who
has been around the globe more than
once, was telling some acquaintance
about his travels in the Richelieu last
evening. Some one asked him what
was the strangest sight he had seen.
THAT is hard question to answer"
he remarked, but / think turtle-ride
in the Gulf of Siam was as unique as
any thing. While going over China l
stopped at Haitian, port on the Gulf of
Siam, and there enjoyed strange ex-
perience. The natives make the inn
mense turtles common in those ports do
service in drawing boats. They swim
rapidly, and are worth only few dol
lars pair. They are tanned easily
and then fitted out with light
harness and reins. They are at

traces / rode about twenty miles one
day, the animals being managed by the
owner of the boat. After they were
hitched up we jumped into the boat and
the men took up the reins and we were
off. The animals padded along evenly
and we went faster than one could row.
They are guided by a long stick not un-
like flsh-pole, and can be handled as
easily as ponies. 1t is not often that
any trouble is experienced, but last
summer a young man was drowned.
just as he was starting out from Haitian
his stick broke, and instead of coming
back then he went out to sea, thinking
that he could guide the turtles by the
reins. He would pull up the reins until
he upset the animals, but they would
soon regain the use of their fiippers and
go right ahead for the open sea. At
the last resort he cut the traces and let
his harness and steeds 60 But he was

A TREASURE HUNT.
English Adventures Find Pirates Cav
Rr.t the Wealth Il gon.


But the Wealth Is Gone.
Some eight months ago there started
from Southampton party of ad-
vsnturers in search of vast treasure
supposed to be hidden in one of the
desert islands of the south Atlantic
ocean. The destination of this land of
treasure-seekers was the island of Trim
idad-not our fertile Trinidad In the
West Indies, but the largest of the vol
canic group OF rocks situated about 500
miles north of the tropic of Capricorn
and some 1000 miles east of Rio Ja-
nerio
When il is stated that the expedition
was directed by the veteran yachts
man f. +. Knight, whose Cruise of
the Falcon" made such an impression
few years ago, it may be imagined that,
Doe favente, all would go we'll, and
that the wanderers might return
laden with booty and covered with
glory. One million pounds sterling is
nice little sum TO risk something for,
and this was the amount, roughly speak
ing, at which the wicked pirates
treasure" was valued by those who,
under Mr.. Knights command. set out in
the good ship Alerte.
The little island, with its satellites,
the Martha Vas rocks, presents most
inhospitable appearance. and the diff
Guilty of landing is very great on ac-
count of the heavy surf and the abrupt,
jagged nature of the cliffs. But to re-
turn to the treasure. 1t was supposed
that some seventy years ago a band of
pirates landed on the island and con-
cealed their ill-gotten gains in cave,
the entrance to which had since been
covered up by landslide. Mr..
Knights party proposed to dig away
the landslip. and went from these
shores fully equipped for almost any
emergency in this direction. On the
way out the little yacht-she was only
fifty tons-got caught in the doldrums
and there was a good deal of squabble
on board, but eventually, after landing
at Bahia, the island was reached and
digging commenced.
Alas. for the uncertainty of all hui
man affairsi Four months of incessant
toll sufficed to remove the landslip, but
did il make the toilers millionaires?
No; the find was absolutely nothing but
a few pieces of china-iust enough to
show that people had been in that
cave; just enough to indicate proba-
bility that those worthless had removed
whatever yaluables there were on the
spot previous to the occurrence of the
landslip. All yachtsmen viii wish Mr..
Knight a safe return to this country
