The HIFnn0 ON the Ba1Sy'0 Thigh
mark OH its thigh. Inquiries were ut
once instituted and 1t was learned from
DR.. Griffith that the mother was q
rich young woman whose name he re-
fused to give. He thought that posi-.
bly, the mother might have some inter-
est in the child, and seemed to think
1t possible that she and the father
might marry. For the purpose Of max
ing it possible to identify the child be-
yOnd any doubt he had branded 1t.
After making this statement the doc
tor added In a matter Of course tone
that The always branded babies, those
kind Of babies, 90 that mothers can
identify them" He denied using a hot
iron for this purpose, but the surgeon
at the receiving hospital declares that
there a be no doubt the brand on this
child was made in that way. The
burn is about an inch square and the
mark will be visible as long as the child
lives. DR.. Griffith talked with great
caution and refused to give any hint as
to the parent.

Giant Pow.er in Their Boots.


It 10 q curious fact that no one
inner out ofevery hundred who had
any experience will do anything but
put the sticks OF giant powder into his
bootlegs. He knows just about how
much giant powder he will need dur
ing the shift, and these he receives
before he enters the shafthouse to go
down. Then he carefully places it in
the leg ofhis boot, and in this manner
conveys it into the mine. The miners
have stopped "crimping" the fulmin-
ating caps with their teeth of late
years This is due, probably to the
suicide at Chicago Of Lingg, one of the
Anarchists who was sentenced to be
hanged with Spies and the rest. Linge
exploded one Of the caps by biting
it, and blew most of his head of.
Now the majority of the miners crimp
the cap on the heel of their boot
with q knife.

ROBINSON crusoe,s Island.

1t is not generally known that Juan
FeTnandez-the island on which Alexan-
der Selkirk, the Robinson Crusoe of ro-
nance, lived for so many years-is at
the present time inhabited. Two val
legs, winding down from different d.
rections, join short distance back from
the shore, says the Melbourne Argus,
and there now stands little village of
small huts scattered around long, one
storied building with a veranda running
its whole length. In this house lives
the man who rents the island from the
Chilean government, and the village is
made up of few German and Chilean
families.
The tiny town is called San Juan Bau-
tista, and the crater-like arm of the sea
on which it is situated, and where Alex
ander Selkirk first landed is now called
Cumberland Bay. The island is rented
for about 81 600 year. The rent is paid
partly in dried fish. Catching and dry
ing the many varieties of fish, and rails
ing cattle and vegetables wholly occnpy
the contented settlers, and much of their
little income is obtained from the cattle
and vegetables sold to passing vessels.
The cattle need no care and the vegeta-
bles almost grow wild. Turnips and
radishes, first sown here by Selkirk him
self, now grow rank and wild in the val
leys, like weeds. There is also race of
wild dogs which completely overrun the
island, depending for existence mainly
upon seals. They are descendants of a
breed of dogs left by the Spaniards.
At the back of the little town, in the
first high cliff, is row of caves of re-
marlable appearance hewn into the
sandstone. An unused path leads to
them, and a short climb brings one to
their dark mouths. About forty years
ago the Chilean government thought
that good way to get rid of its worst
criminals would be to transport them to
the island of Juan Fernandez. Here,
under the direction of Chilean soldiers,
these poor wretches were made to dig
caves to live in. In 1854, they were
taken back again, however, and the caves
have since been slowly cIumbling away,
The narrow ridge where Selkirk
watched is now called "The Saddle" be-
cause at either end of it a rocky hum
mock rises like pommel. On one of
these is now large tablet with inscPip-
tionS commemorative Alexander Sci.
kinks long and lonely stay on the island.
1t was placed there in 1868 by the officers
of the British ship Topaz. A small ex-
cursion steamer now runs from Valpar-
also to Juan Fernandez Island. The
round trip Is made in SIX days, and three
of these may be spent on the island in
fishing and visiting those lonely, but
beautiful spots which nearly 200 years
ago were the haunts of Robinson Crusoe,
