Poland Is To-Day Pre-eminently the Ian,
Of Great Pianists.

Poland IL To-Day Pre-eminently the Land
of Great Pianists.
The question of nationality plays
curious role in the history of pianoforte
playing. For a long time most of the
great pianoforte composers and players
the Bachs, Mozart, Beethoven, Weber,
Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann-
were Germans. But with Schumann
the list of Germans great in this depart
ment practically came to an end (unless
we except Bulow and Brahms), and the
field was left open for Slavic and Hun
garian competitors. Russia gave us
Rubinstein and Pachmann; Hun
gary, Liszt and Joseffy; Scotland,
D'Albert; but the land pre-eminent
for pianists is Poland. Chopin was
Pole, and SO was the brilliant
young Tausig, who, had he not died ut
the age of thirty, would, in the opinion
of his pupil, Mr.. Joseffy, and many 9TH
ers, have surpassed even his master,
Liszt. Rubinstein, too, was half Pole
by descent. Little Josef Hoffman is
Pole, and now, to cap tho climax, Mr..
Paderewski has appeared; SO that, mu-
sically speaking, at any rate, it is safe
to say: ''Noch list Pollen nicht verluen. I"
Poland will some day honor Pade-
rewski as it now honors Chopin; but in
order to win the great fame and wealth
which have fallen to his lot at the ear
ly age of thirty-two, he was of course
obliged, like Chopin, to leave his native
country and seek the great musical
centers of the world. Three years ago
he played in London to fifty-dollar
audience. To-day he often makes five
thousand dollars in two hours, with
seven thousand dollars for the high
water mark. This profitableness of
his art is a phenomenon worth men
tioning, because he never resorts
to clap-trap, thickness or sensational
ism in order to win success and ap-
plause. In this respect he is superior
to List, who, in his early period, did
sometimes resort to sensationalism,
which, however, was less a sign of i'm
mature taste than the wild exuberance
of technical mastery bent on frolic,
and, therefore, not to be judged more
severely than young Mozarts feat of
playing on piano the keys of which
were covered with a cloth. The condi-
tions in those days were not the same
as at present. How eager the world
was for LISTS show pieces may be in
ferred from the fact that when, in the
pressure Of concert-giving and travel
ing, he sometimes kept his operate ar
rangements in his head a few months
before writing them down, the pub
fishers pursued him from town to town
urging him to put them into shape for
the printcr.-Chicago Journal.

che crew Of the Tamaris, by following
the directions ON the roll Of paper, had
no difficulty in finding the caves which
the sailors had occupied. There were
many traces Of the castaways, but the
men themselves had patched up rude
boat and sailed off. Since then
nothing has been heard of them.
These incidents were worked over
and used al the foundation Of

story there also figured IN American
captain. Joseph Fuller, who command

American whaler. He knows the straits
of the islands as though they were a
book and his ship goes where no other
dare follow and is seldom seen twice at
the same anchorage. An officer of the
expedition which has taken possession
OF the islands wrote to Illustration that
he had seen this Joseph Fuller. A YES
sci sailed one night into the harbor op-
posite the shore where the Frenchmen
were encamped, much to tho latter's
surprise. The officer continues rs fol-
lows:
"This morning the bark hoisted the
American flag. On her stern was the
name Fancys Allyn. Her captains
name is Joseph Fuller. 1t was not one
OF the least of my surprises in this
strange place to see in flesh and blood

no trace of the classic type of the sea
dog He is tall and thin, his face is
surrounded by handsome white
beard, and his open, laughing eyes arc
hidden behind . pair of spectacles. He
looks more like professor of German
university than a hardy sailor who has

ISLANDS OF FACT AND FANCY.
Interesting Points Concerning tho "Lan,
of Desolation'' Of Capt. Cook.

Interesting Points Concerning the Gland
of Desolstion" Of Capt. Cook.
The islands of Kerguelen, of which
France has recently taken possession,
were we'll named by Cook tho "Land
of Dcsolation." Their history, how
ever, is not without tinterest-they were
the cause of the rise and fall of young
French admiral of the last century;
their rocky coasts appear in two recent
French novels, and there still cruises
around them the last of the American
whalers which were once seen so often
in the south seas. No one seems to
know the Yankee captain we'll, though
few south-sea navigators have not seen
him.
In 1772 the Chevalier dc Kerguelen,
admiral in the French fleet, discovered
these islands. AS the exploring par
ties sent short distances into the in
terror of the largest island did
not reach the farther coas,, De
Kerguelen became convinced that he
had discovered the great southern con-
tinent which geographers had written
much. He hastened back to France
and petitioned the king SO earnestly to
take possession of the new land that an
expedition was fitted out for that pur-
pose and placed under De Kerguelen's
command. The land was soon found
to be only a group of volcanic islands.
and the admiral was forced to return
to Paris and to acknowledge his mis-
take. The admiralty, stung by the
ridicule of the people, called a court
martial, which decided that De Ker-
guelen, who was then scarcely thirty
years old, must lose his rank and be
Imprisoned indefinitely in the castle of
Saumer. He was soon released, but
never served again in the navy. M. de
Tinseau recently introduced De Ker-
ruelen as character in a novel.
Four years ago the sailors Of the
bark Tamaris were. cast upon one of
the Kerguelen islands. A sailor fas-
tened to the wing of an albatross tube
containing roll of paper, on which
was written the story of the shipwreck.
The bird was released, and, strange to
say, was caught by the mate of a YES
sci cruising in the neighborhood. An
expedition which was sent in search OF

But the rains and winds and autumn were wild;
Some leaves at the end Of the year remained
All! they were broken and bruised and stained:
The green was faded. the fair mold lost;
Twas the work Of the rain, the storm, the frost
And thus It Is at the clese Of life:
Heart after heart worn out with strife;
Passion and pain have left their trace
On the bowed-down form, on the careworn face;
There will como fresh leaves when the winter

But the green to the old leaf returns no moro

But for hope Of o spring that will ever last.
When the green comes back to o fadeless Leaf
When the scars are healed, and the rents ot

At rest from storms Of sorrow and strife,
