A LOST ISLAND.
1t Mysteriously Disappears Be-
meath the Sea.
Vessels Now Sailing Over the Spot Where
Body Of Land Thirteen Miles
Long Formerly Ex-
tsted.

The disappearance beneath the sea of
an island, long marked on the maps
and well known to mariners, is very
rare occurrence. Such an event is re-
ported from the northwest coast of
Australia in region where no white
enterprises are carried on and which is
rarely visited by ships. A German
sailing master reports the discovery of
the mysterious disappearance of Expe-
dition island. The first news was
printed in the Deutsche Rundschau,
and it has been reproduced in the
geographical journals of Europe. No
one knows when the island vanished
from view, and the only explanation of
the phenomenon apparent to the New
York Sun is that for some cause or
other there has been sudden depres-
sion of the earth's crust in those
waters. The subsistence of the island
was not accomplished with such rapid
ity and violence as to attract attention,
through the disturbance of the sea on
any civilized coasts. If a sudden cata-
clysm had occurred, like that which
blew the greater part of Krakatoa into
the air and scattered the fragments
over the sea bed great waves would
have carried to far distant shores the
news that something unusual had oc-
CURED, for Expedition island had some
Importance in that region of tiny ocean
specks, being much larger than any of
it's neighbors. 1t was thirteen miles
long and on an average one mile wide.
The German vessel sailed back and
forth over the sea that has risen above
the island, finding an average depth of
forty-eight feet. In all the soundings
the plummet undoubtedly struck what
had once been the surface of the flat,
low-lying island. The surrounding sea
is some hundreds of feet deep, and the
landward end of the island was forty
miles from Australia, little north of
the indenture known as Collier bay.
1t is known that the southern coast of
Australia is gradually rising, while the
northwestern, northern and eastern
coasts, with a wide expanse of the adj
jacent sea floors, comprise great area
of subsistence In other words, the
earth's crust in these regions is very
gradually sinking. Expedition island
was in the extreme southwestern part
of this area of subsistence.
We are accustomed now and then to
the spectacle of new island suddenly
above the surface of the sea,
and we are not surprised when these
islands, reared upon unstable founda-
tions by submarine volcanoes, show n
tendency, like New Bogaslov and Fal-
con island, rapidly to disintegrate and
disappear again beneath the waves; but
it is very rare indeed that an island of |
dimensions and supposed
leaves these upper regions,
and it is rarer still that it drops peace
fully out of view without letting the
world know, in some way or other, that
t is taking its departure.

BOGUS COFFEE.

Palmed Off the Public at Ex-

Drinking In Brazil.

Does 1t not strike you as strange, con-
sidering the fact that more than half
the coffee consumed in the world Is
grown in Brazil, that one seldom sees
Brazilian coffee advertised? Should
you ask your grocer for the chest Bra
lillian" he would not know what to give
you. The reason, according to the Dos-
ton Bulletin in, is because the best coffee
grown in Brazil is sold under the name
of "Java" and Mocha and large
share of the inferior grades are marked
Bourbon" and martinique" Yet
nowadays the latter island produces
hardly more than five hundred sacks of
coffee in n year-a mere drop in the
worlds big bucket; and Bourbon yields
perhaps six thousand sacks per annum
just about enough to supply the mar
kets of Rio for twenty-f our hours. At
least nine-tenths of all the Mocha"
coffee that you drink with such gusto
because it costs an extra price is the
small round bean of the Brazilian plant,
picked from the tips of the upper
branches where the tropic sun has had
most chance to infuse richness into it
and afterward separated by hand.

all responsibility and depriving the
product of its true value.
1t is often remarked that there is no
drunkenness in Brazil, but the state
ment is untrue; not perhaps SO far as
alcoholic drinks are concerned, but the
whole country is perpetually in state
of administration on coffee-men,
women and children alike-and to
babies in arms it is fed from a spoon.
AT all hours of the day and night, in

A Queer Railway.

A novel form of inclined railway has
been built at Bridgenorth, England.
1t connects the upper and the lower
parts of the town, communication be-
tween which was formerly provided by
means of steps cut in the solid rock
The length of the track is only POI feet,
but its vertical rise is Ill feet. There
are two cars on separate lines of rail
and they are connected by steel cable
passing round a wheel at the top.
They are thus balanced and a prepond-
Grating weight is given whichever one
one is at the top by pumping a supply
of water into tank placed in the frame
of the car. The steel rails are secured
to ties which are bolted to the solid
rock and also imbedded in concrete.
The brakes are normally on the wheels
and motion is only possible while the
brakeman turns his handle. The track
is cut out of solid rock so that it shall
not spoil the beauties of the landscape.
