Feminine education, as every one
knows, is far advanced in Switzerland.
and the University of Zurich haspany
women students, most OF whom come,
however, from other lands. 1t was
here that DIR. Emily Kempin, the first
lecturer of the woman's law class of
the University of the City Of New
York was trained. She had long
and hard struggle before being al
lowed to practice her calling; but
the fight has been successful one,

active professional work, but is also

The expedition of the British war.
ship Imperieuse to Cocos Island in
search OF buried treasure is one of the
most amusing incidents that has
ever happened on this coast. Here is
the admiral of the British Pacific
squadron taking his flagship down to
an island off the Columbian coast and
using his marines to dig for treasure
said to amount to thirty millions. The
island has no harbor, and the risk OF
taking large warship near its coast
was great, bat luckily the weather
continued fair and no disaster oc-
CURED. 1t is reported that the
marines found slate slab which the
guide declared covered hidden treas.
ure, but the water poured into the
hole SO freely that the admiral grew
weary Of the work and gave orders to
return 70 Victoria. 1t is reported that
another party will soon start for the
island. This Cocos Island treasure
is rs mythical as other buried wealth
along the Spanish-American coast of
the Pacific, but every year sees new
expeditions fitted out to hunt for it.
There is absolutely no historical evil
dence that gold or precious stones
were ever buried on the island, and
none Of the scores OF treasure-hunt-
ers have even obtained . glimpse Of

France and England are rapidly
