which gave a name to the islands we have
as household pets birds which take their
name from them. The canary in its wild
state in the islands is not so beautiful as
in its dOmesticated state, but it is tuneful
and prolific. The Canaries used to be
noted for their wine, and some is still
sent out from there. Since 1853 however,
when a philoxera destroyed the vines, the
vine production has not been great, and
much of the land formerly devoted to
viticulture is now planted in cactus for
the raising of the cochineal bug the pro-
duction of cochineal having become one
Of the great industries of the islands. The
Inhabitants of the Canaries are slightly
darker than the inha bitants Of Southern
Spain. The original inhabitants of the
islands were called Guanches. Spain ex
terminated this race when she took pos
session of the islands The natives fought
hard for their Independence but were
finally overcome. Some of the present i'm
habitants Of the islands claim to have
sGuanchen blood in them, but the claim is
doubtful. Who these Guanches were is a
question. Some pliiologists say that some
of the words of their language which
have been preserved are similar to words
of the same meaning in the dialects Of
North Africa. On the other hand, a dis
tinguished German scholar, who has in
vestigated the matter. says that all the
4 the interior of the islands are either of
@Berber or Teutonic origin and believes
+ that the Guanches were the descendants
sof Gothic or Yandal immi graz s. e
Is However the truth may be, there are
kSpaniards on the islands now. and Com
modore Watson will stop and talk with
them. !.

1stxt 70 santa Cruz, the most important
tcWn IN the Islands is Los Palmas, or
the Grand Canary, with a population 81
more than 1900. It is on a bay which
affords safe anchorage in any except
a southeast blow. Numerous forts az.
fend the harbor, some of them old and
many of them new. The Oldest and most
formidable of these forts is the Castillo
de San francisco, which was built 29j
years ago. Last year this immense mass
Of masonry was entirely remodeled and
partially rebuilt under the supervision
Of two German engineers. It now has,
among its other guns, five 18-ton guns
Of the latest pattern, and earthworks
constructed after the latest and most an
proved principles have been added to il.
Inc fort alone is believed by the Span
lards to be able to keep anv hostile flee,
y Out or the Earbor.# Another Of the forts
commanding the harbor is the Castillo de
san Fernando. This fort has been much
strer gthened and repaired, and four new
IV-ton guns mounted in It. A third fort
the CASTILLO de la Luz, has been repaired
END armed with the old guns taken from
the CASTILLO de San Francisco.

per and have a population of 201,UOO and
an area OF $500 square miles. I'm other
"oius' lnelr area is little less than that
OF the State of Connecticut, and thnir
population about the same as that Of the
city OF Gil cinnati. Those who believe in
the theory Of lost Atlantis proclaim
the Canary, Cape de Verde and Maderiea
Islands and the Azores remnants of that
sunken continent. The Canary islands
We're known to the Phoenicans and the
Romans. Ptolen.y, Pliny the Elder and
Piutarch called them the Fortunate
Islands. 2.i II. ~ 1r~'i' - -
Inc islands received their name from
the Latin CAMS dog, because of a
preed 81 large dogs which was raised
there in the time of the Roman empire.
All swell Romans had Canary dogs in
their houses. Some of these beasts cost
$9oo and $500 pair. The breed is now
entlrely extinct. and. in n!sce Of dogs
