ON aoNcApoR ISLAND.
What Was Found by Party In Search of
NIarooned Sailors.

u4uIOOuGu Stt4loIbs
In 1892 the gunboat Partridge was
sent by the commodore to ascertain the
truth or otherwise Of statement that
some men were marooned on Roncador,
a small coral island $500 by 200 feet) or
cay in the Caribbean sea. On arriving
at Roncador it was found occupied by
sea birds, especially boobies, in eno--
nous number. Some huts were also OBJ
served. On landing and entering the
largest hut the following picture met
the gaze of the explorers: Half sitting,
half reclining, on high trestle bed, and
partially supported by nlakeshift
eruteh, was something rigid and angular
within moldy cotton shirt and canvas
trousers. Two rusty pannikins were
close at hand and fragments of skeleton
on the floor. These consisted of q skull,
vertebr@ and some long bones. On the
bed were the bones of hand, and a
number Of land crabs scuttled about The
floor was covered with sea birds eggs,
and many more were found packed and
salted in wooden boxes. Some empty
cruet bottles were found near the eggs
and box containing papers which
showed him to be Dutchman. He had
served in the militia.
The medical officer was able to de-
termine from an examination of the
skeleton that it belonged to lad under
30 years of age. In another hut was
found the body Of an old negro. The
story is clear enough. The well built
hut showed that the men had come pre-
pared to stay awhile. The empty boxes
showed that food had been at one time
abundant. Then provisions ran short.
The men subsisted for a time on sea
birds eggs, and water was apparently
plentiful. Men cannot live long on eggs
and brackish water. Scurvy must occur.
This is the secret of the crutoh in the
cabin. Disease had crippled before it
killed this young man. This explana-
ton rests entirely on circumstantial
evidence, but evidence so complete and
convincing, the reasoning SO sound, yet
apparently SO simple, as to mako one
exciaim on reading it, Surely this is the
way of zadig London News.

Several years ago the happy thought
occurred to me that anewspaper report
.er was human being, who, like other
human beings, was under the necessity
of making his living by diligent work,
and that he was therefore not to be
treated as an enemy of mankind. Since
I made that discovery have found no
class of men more quick to respond or
willing to pay careful regard to the
courtesies and the confidence of gentle
manly intercourse. And whenever ]
have myself met newspaper men fairly
and frankly have never known one of
them Intentionally to misrepresent or to
abuse such confidence. My experience
leads me to conclude that if citizens gem
orally would help newspaper men in all
Legitimate inquiries the public would
have less reason to complain either Of
inaccurate or improper news. s.--Hart-
ford CGIralt.

FIRES M JAPAN.
BUT For Open Spaces the Japanese Cities
Would Burn Up.

Would Burn Up.
One Of the quaintest sights in Japan
8 a fire. Hundreds OF houses are often
burned in the space Of few hours, and
little or nothing can be done to stop the
progress of the flames, especially on a
windy day. If you except the roof, which
is made Of tiles, Japanese houses are
built entirely of straw wood, bamboo
and paper. In the poorer districts houses
are packed close together. and therefore
If one happens to catch fire sometimes
the whole street is burned down with
incredible rapidity, and the fire only
stops at some open space where it can
not possibly spread further. It is not un-
usual in Tokyo or some Of the larger
towns to hear Of thousand or even
more houses having been destroyed in
an afternoon or during the night
No one is more afraid of fires than the
japanese. and high ladders are posted at
short intervals all over the towns and in
all the larger villages, on the top of
which ladders watchman sits all night
and in case of fire rings large bell
hanging from the top. II rung at long
intervals, the fire is distant, and one
need not worry oneself about turning
out of ones fountangs. II rung little
quicker, the fire is not far, but there
need be no apprehension. But if the bell
is vigorously and quickly tolled then
you may as we'll say goodby to your
house, because in perhaps few minutes
it will be reduced to mass of ashes
The Japanese are wonderful at turn
ing out at all hours of the night, even
for going to look at fire, and men. wo-
men and children in the coldest nights
in winter think nothing of walking five
or six miles to go and look at big
blaze. If the fire happens to be near, the
excitement increases in proportion to the
probability of ones house being burned
down. You see people half scared and
screaming, getting water wherever they
can in pals, wash basins, tubs or any
thing they can lay hold of and throw
ing it all over the woodwork so as to
diminish the chances of its catching fire.
Then as the fire draws nearer, and the
only water available has already been
consumed, the process Of saving what
one can is put into practice. The amido.
or wooden shutters, and the sholjis, pa
per walls, are quickly taken down and
brought into safe place; the mats are
lifted out of their places, and with the
few articles of furniture are quickly re-
moved. So that when the fire comes it
only destroys the wooden frame of the
house and the roof That is all 1t il
seldom that life is lost in these fires, ex-
cept sometimes when children or old
people are unable to move, and once
surrounded by flames they cannot be
reached and often perish. Tokyo Let

A good thing is told in connection
with the lectures on theosophy in this
city. The lecturer. in the midst Of a
learned discourse, asked in stentorian
tones:
"What comes after death?" No one
answered, and after waiting moment
he repeated, with vehemence, again.

takers Of the city and went demurely to

THE CONFIDENTIAL PAPER.
The Briton Complains, Praises and scoids
In His Daily journal.


In His Daily Journal.
The newspaper is member of the
family in England and regularly comes
to breakfast with the other members.
The London Times is kind of oldest
son among newspapers, and Punch the
jolly bachelor uncle, who makes occa-
sional visits. Englishmen take their
newspapers into their confidence and
have half way of writing to them on
all sorts of subjects. If an Englishman
rows down the Thames and stops for
luncheon at an inn and is overeharged,
he writes to his newspaper, just as lit
tie boy runs in to complain to his
mamma of the rough treatment Of his
playmates, and later on the first letter
is followed by others, in which the COM
parative merits and cost of light lunch
cons on the continent, in Seringapa-
tam, in Kamchatka and everywhere
else where Englishmen have eaten and
drunk-and where have they not done
these?-is discussed au fond. If horses
stumble and fall in Rotten row. there
are letters on the subject which go into
the matter Of roadbuilding, modern
horsemanship and the like, with quota
tions from Virgil and anecdotes of acci-
dents that happened half century ago
Not only the more serious weekly, but
also the daily newspapers, give one the
impression that they feel themselves to
some extent responsible for the contem-
porary auditing of the accounts of the
day of Judgment On the other hand,
the better class Of English newspapers
do not indulge in rash suppositions,
hasty generalizations, uncertain guesses
at probable future happenings and the
daily exploitation of the personal affairs
of notorious nobodies. And one may
be permitted to say difidently that per-
haps this is preferable. If Mr.. Balfour,
for example, were to go abroad for a
holiday, it would be considered vulgar
to chronicle his doings and dinings and
absolutely brutal and boorish to write
particulars Of the dress and behavior Of
his sister, or his wife, if he had one
