sELKIRK's CAVE, JUAN FERNANDEZ.

upon the mountains side at point
judged to be sacred to many weary
month of the forlorn exile's solitude.
Scratched and cut about it are to be

titles who have since visited the spot.

stump of lead pencil and they would
gleefully inscribe their historical
names in the Holy of Holes, together
with the date, and their addresses in
Peckham Rye, Brixton, or elsewhere.
But while denying such as these the
satisfaction of their names in print, we
may copy the actual memorial. Thus
it runs:
In memory OF
Alexander Selkirk.
Mariner.
A native of Largo, in the county of Fife, Scot
land, who lived On this island in complete
solitude for four years and four months.
He was landed from the Cirque Ports galley

And was taken of in tie Duke" privateer
~ February Il, 100.
he died lieutenant CT H. M S. Weymouth"
A. D. 1928
Aged AZ years
This tablet is erected
Near Seikirks Lookout by
Commodore Powell,
And'the officers of H M. S. "Topaze" A. D., 1868
Selkirk's cave is also point of inter
est, though it may be doubted whether
there is much more than an imaginary
connection between this cavern and
the solitary sailor. The history of
Juan Fernandez presents no feature of
particular interest. The island was
discovered in 1868 by the Spaniard
whose name it bears, and between that
date, until its occupation by Spain in
1850, appears to have been little more
than sort of headquarters for the
bold buccaneers who roamed all the
Pacific over. Juan Fernandez passed
to Chill when Spain lost her South
American possessions, and from 1919
until 1885 her new owner used the islet
as penal settlement. To-day Gillian
sportsmen-amateur and professional
wander upon Juan Fernandez seek
ing and Staying seal or sea-lion when
opportunity offers; but efforts in more
civilized directions have also to be re-
corded, for in 1877, the Gillian govern
ment leased the land to Swiss, who
established considerable colony upon
its fertile shores. The result of the
experiment, with full description of
it, was published about five years ago
in an interesting article in Chambers
Journal. But to Englishmen the name
of Alexander Selkirk will ever be
coupled with Juan Fernandez; and
from Selkirk it is but step to Defoe
and Robinson Crusoe. The island, there
fore, may reasonably claim the title
we have bestowed upon it. 1t is inter-
esting to note in passing how many
lonely sea-bound rock has been from
time to tiroa r+i7i-ad bv man as con-
venient tor purposes of imprisonment
or exile for his fellow-man. st. Helena
instantly occurs to the mind in this
connection; and the Bass Rock still
can show ruins of Wondering prison
walls. The latter, indeed, will COM
mand fresh interest, at any rate for
literary minds, by reason of the graph,
ic scenes described as happening there
on in Mr.. r. L. Stevenson's last ro-
nance.

tariff for revenue only-and then

Suspended PAYMENT,

The Green Bag: The bullying man
ner sometimes assumed by certain bar
risters in cross-examination, in order
to confuse a witness and make his re-
plies to important questions hesitating
and contradictory, is notorious. Many
are the tales told of ''cute" witnesses
who have turned the tables on their
prosecutors. The following relates to
4 case of this kind:
In a civil action in money matters
the plaintiff had stated that his finan-
cial position was always satisfactory.
In cross-cxamination he was asked if
he had ever been bankrupt.

spangles and Laces.

As regards trimmings, spangles will
be all the vogue for evening dresses
this winter. Among charming French
things the prettiest garnitures for
bodices are frills of black net embroi-
dered with steel, jet, silver or gold
sequins. Net founcing with drop
spangles is an effective material for
dance dresses. Gold and jet spangle
trimmings, about an inch in width,
are much worn on tea and evening
gowns. OF waist ornaments there is q
capital variety. A pretty belt consists
OF several rows of jet beads threaded
on elastic. The byzantine, mosaic,
steel and paste buckles for bonnets or
belts are very pretty. In the way of
trimmings for day dresses narrow
braids are the thing.
Coarse, mellow laces are more affect
ed than any other kind just now.
They are very becoming d more eco
nomical than the delicate laces.

Thy knell is ringing, 10, thy keeper watsi
And from thy carnival beside the lake
Thou contest century crowned, while in thy
wake,
As wisdom opens wide Truths sturdy gates,
Come forth proud Beauty's pale and slender
Fates
To follow thy unsteady steps, and bring
The wine of wonder, that thou boastful sing
In careless glee, the Progress of the States!
But dost thou bring blessing from yon child
That, at its mothers knee, now lisps the name
OF him, who for but half loaf, had spent
A life in toll, and in despair, grows wild
To link his failure to felon's shame,
And curses long the load OF government

The Burlington Makes Test Tenders In
Kansas-Thc Santa Fe's Offer.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. - Reports
from counties in which the Burling-
ton and Missouri River railway pays
taxes are that its agents have made
two tenders of its taxes since
it announced it's deter n inatio
to fight the assessment OF the
state board of railroad assessors.
The last tender is about 1913 per
cent of the amount due. The first
was even lower than that. OF course
county treasurers have no authority
to accept and the offers were only
made as basis for litigation which
will follow.
The Santa Fe is also making tenders
all over the state, but it goes before
the board of county co nmiSsioners.
Its offer is about two-th;rds of the
amount really due, and is more in the
form of request for reduction than
a tender. 1t couples lis reques' with
a promise to paw the whole.

I The Most Intense Cold Ever Known in
Many Regions.

Many Regions.
LONDON. Jan. 6.-Reports from al
parts of the country show the weather
is blizzard like and the thermometer
usually low. Many small casualties
are reported along the coast. Steam
boat traffic between England and
France has been suspended. All ar
irving vessels present the appearance
of having hard times. Great difficulty
is experienced by the life boats in
making rescues.
In many places in great Britain the
thermometer registers the lowest ever
known. The temperature to day is 5
to 10 above, but involves as much suf-
terin2 as would a temperature of 20
degrees below zero in the United
S ates. The people are entirely un-
prepared for this and death from ex-
posture are already reported and ter
rible cold wave, and the result is that
the suffering among the poor is in
tense. Many cases of outdoor work
has been almost entirely suspended.
In several parts of England railroad
trains have been Embedded in the
snow for hours, and on the Isle of
Wight the weather is reported to be
the coolest of the century.
The cliffs of Cornwall are hung
with icicles of an immense size, and
pools of salt water have been frozen
at the edge of the sea.
A dispatch to The Standard from
Madrid says there have been three
days of intense cold throughout Spain.
Snow has fallen heavily IN Biscay and
the northern provinces and IN many
parts of Andalusia. Several persons
have been frozen to death in Burgos
and Austrias. The railway and tele-
graph services are seriously interered
with.
A dispatch from Dunkirk, Franse,
says the thermometer there is twenty
seven degrees below the freezing
point.
Many deaths have resulted in Aus
tria from the frost. No snow has
fallen and therefore no work has been
provided for the unemployed. The
icy winds raise clouds of unhealthy
dust worse than that experienced in
the dog days.
At Fiume and neighboring posts in
Austria no ship can enter. Ropes are
| tied from lamp post to lamp post in
the streets to prevent reop from be-
| ing blown away by the fierce winds.
| Many vessels have been damaged.
At Moscow, Russia, twentv-siX de-
| grees below zero were recorded and
| at Mini Novgorod, the thermometer
reg istered thirtyfou degrees below
and twenty-three degrees below was
reported at Kharkoff.

In one of the southern boom town.
three or four years ago there was quite

struck snag and sunk last night in
the Mississippi river near Friar's Point,

some insurance on the cargo, which
was large one. This was placed in

the boat was running. The Mason
was worth about S25. 900 but it is
doubted if it would have sold for over
$4,000.
