starved On Al Island.
Washington Star,

News of tragical interest comes from a
little. rocky island, some way north Of
Sierra Leone, on the west coast of Africa.
Alcatraz island has no inhabitants, and
would be perfectly valueless, were it not
that it has considerable deposit of
guano.
The guano beds have been very little
worked, but France thought it worth
while to take possession of the island, and
over two years ago, four men were set
ashore there by order of the governor of
Senegal, to maintain the rights of the
French flag.
Through most remarkable carelessness
the men who were sent to live on the
barren rock passed entirely from the
minds of the authorities. The blunder is
SAID to have been due partly to changes
in the administration OF Senegal and part
ly to mislaying the papers in the case.
Everybody in Senegal is trying to shift
the responsibility on somebody else.
One day recently document was fshed
out OF pigeon hole showing that over
two years ago four men were landed on
the island in behalf of the government.
There was considerable CONSERVATION
when this fact was discovered as there
were not few persons who recalled the
incident. No time was lost In sending
vessel to the island. 1t was estimated
that the men had about six months sup
ply of provisions when they landed. The
only hope that they were alive was that
some passing vessel had seen their signal
of distress and taken them off.
The hope was instantly dispelled when
the vessel reached the island. Only
few minutes elapsed before the skeletons
of the four men were found stretched
upon the rocks of thu eninviting little
spot. They had doubtless perished by
inches of starvation. The reefs In that
ne,ghborhood are dangerous, and vessels
genrally give the island a wide berth.
The island Is far out of sight of The main
land, the doomed men had no boat, and
there was nothing for them to do except
to die, forgotten, as they were, by all the
world. Their bodies were taken back to
Senegal for burial.

1t may not be known outside of the
neighborhood in which it is situated, but
it is nevertheless fact, that in Sonoma
county, CAL, there exists an original and
successful piece of railroad engineering
and building that is not to be found in
the books. In the upper part of the
county named, near the coast, may be
seen an actual roadbed In the tree-tops.
Between the Clipper Mills and Stuart
Point, where the road crosses deep ra-
vine, the trees are sawed off on level
with the surrounding hills and timbers
and ties laid on the stumps. In the cen.
ter of the ravine mentioned two huge red.
wood trees, standing side by side, form
substantial support. These giants have
been topped off seventy-hve feet above
the level of the creek. This natural
tree brld ge is considered one of the won.
ders of the Golden State, and tor safety
and security far exceeds o bridge framed
IN the most scientific manner.

The baths of Rattaglia are near Padua
and Venice, in the most delightful OF eli
mates, freed from northern cold and too
southern heat. A peculiar aud most
unique feature Of health resorts is the
natural vapoF bath in the grotto. This
grotto is situated about half way up the
Monte SaDt' Elena, between the smaller
bath house aud the castle. A number of
hot springs issue from the rock with the
grotto and give rise to hot vapor. In
consequence of the great success which at
tended the therapeutial employment of
the grotto of Monsummano, near Pistoja,
this grotto was enlarged by blasting and
fitted up with magnificent marble couches
shower baths, ETC., after the pattern of
the Roman baths IN Vienna. The tem-
perture Of rapor is ile degree Fahren-
heit.
Lower down, and in Battaglia, are the
bath houses and hotels now resorted to by
hundreds. CattajG is our old English
Cathay or China, and was so named be-
cause it was built after tue drawings of
the Khanis palace at Cathay, brought
home by Marco Polo. Near this curious

Confession of PiI-i-ycu.
East Oregonian.


The jury in the case of the United States
VS.. Pil-i-yeu, charged with numbering Mrs.
Taison on the Umatllla Indian reservation,
brought in verdict of murder in the first
degree, after short deliberation.
Charley, the young red skin who was ar
rested in Pendleton some time since, for
stealing horse from his father, made the
following statement: 81 was confined in the
same cell in the Pendleton Jail that Pil-i-yeu
occupied. One night he got to crying and
talking about the murder, and said he was
guilty. He admitted everything and con-
tinued his story by saying: L went to Pen
dleton on Saturday, May 25tiI, and got two
bottles of whisky. 1 was with Liberty.
Afttr making a short stay in town, we
started back to the reservation. On the
way, at various places, We stopped, got Oft
our ponies, and took drink of whisky.
The last drink we took consisted OF about
four inches of the contents of each bottle.

Russian Wolves.
MurrS's Magazine.

A cunoua report was recently brought
home by traveller from Norway, which,
If it be true, will go far to correct the
accepted ideas concerning the wisdom of
extirpating noxious animals in countries
where they abound. 1t IS said that in
one of the northern provinces the reward
offered by the government for the des-
truction of wolves hSd resulted in their
becoming practically extinct, and thus
far there was every reason for congratu :
lation. But it now appears that, un-
known TO man, the Norwegian wolves had
been constantly engaged in patriotic
war of self defense against the voracious
packs of Russian Lapland; so long as
their numbers were undIminished they
held their ground, and even continued to
do so for some time after they had begun
to be dceimated by the misguided hostil-
ity of their human fellows. 1t would
seem that there then supervened period
in which the Russian wolves assumed a
willy Fabian policy, "biding their time"
unit! the hand OF man, stipulated by gov
ernmcnt blood money, had finished Its
work.
At last the ground was clear, but no
sooner had the Norsk fold begun to re-
loice than the fresh ,ncursion was re-
ported of huge hungry wolves from be-
you'd the frontier, which have occupied
the vacant hunting grounds of the
slaughtered animals, So that the whole
process of "extinguishing' must be re-
with no better prospect of
fnality than the labor of Sisyphus. The
story presents US with food for reflection
upon many interesting problems of nat
ural history; first, we have the unsus-
pected power Of uuited action eviuced by
The wolves of both countries, with the
obvious induction to their reasoning fac
ulties; then we may consider the extra
ordinary perception by the Russian wolves
of the policy Of the Norwegian govern
ment, and lis reaction upon their own
fortunes; and We should not be wise to
neglect the bearing of the episode upon
what we are doing ourselves in India.

The Wizard Light.


The skipper, pilot and crew of the r. r.
Thompson told thrilling story of the
strange phenomenon they witnessed on the
Columbia, while coming down last night.
When near Mt. Coffin furious snow storn
struck the boat and in the midst. while
Capt. Colson and the pilot were straining
their eyes to discover familiar spots and
keep the boat on her course, large ball of
fire suddenly appeared on the flagstaff and
fer over au hour blazed like the monday
sun, binding the officers and completely
obscuring their view ahead. They sought
the lower deck and tried in every way to
get the wizard light out Of their eyes, but
all efforts were ip vain and it blazed deti-
ance at them steadily for the time Pen; pen;
toned, when it sHddsnly disappeared and
was seen no more. The engines bad to be
stopped as sool as the mocking light ap-
peared and the boat made no progress for
over an hour. Even if the light had not
interfered the fury of the storm would hays
compelled her to lie to.

A Hillsboro dispatch of Jan. 2Sth has
the following: Yesterday party of men
from the Buxton region, near the Nehalem
mountains, brought in the dead body of a
boy fifteen Or sixteen years old for disposi-
tion by the county authorities. Along with
the body they also brought in a woman be-
tween thirty and forty years of age, who
had been the companion Of the youth. 1t
appears they had both tramped from As.
torla Oh through Nehalem and were making
for Forest Grove.
When on the top of the Nehalem noun
tains, near Cape HORN, a tree was blown
down upon them and the head of the young
man was crushed. The woman went for
assistance and came to bachelors cabin.
This man assisted by one ore two others,
carried the young man to his cabin, where
he and the woman were cared for. Medi-
cal aid was received, but little or nothing
could be done, and the young man never
regained- consciousness, dying Saturday
morning.
The woman positively refuses to speak
about him or divulge his name. She gives
the name of Marshall, but it is doubtful if
this is her true name, as she is extremely
reticept. Che was taken in charge by the
county authorities and sent to the county
poor house. The body Of the young man
was inferred at the expense of the county.
The men say that the pair we're in very
filthy condition.
