 We have rhore inquisitiye than ready-going visitors" he said. Some who have little or no business to mind take pleasure ill acting overseer to others. Lots of idle folks drop in here purposely to examine the plotting pads.
 Not that the examination is profit able to the examiners in the general sense, but look there-you observe the old gentleman in the blue pilot coat at the central counter? His hobby is to busy himself with other peoples con cerns. Today he Is quiescent; the pads are new, and offer no amusement.

 Sorry to say, more than one lady finds amusement in similarly treating the blotters. One, in particular, fingers long in the vicinity of the writing counters. Carrying a small folding glass, she seems to delight in reading snatches of communications which the pads have mirrored on their sheets. When disturbed, she pretends to be in terested in writing, or filling tele- graph form. Yes, I warn you not to use the official pads too literally"

CAROLINE ISLANDS.
POSSESSIONS OF SPAIN WHERE PER.

 They Stretch About 5000 Miles From Raar
 to West = Thermometer Rarely Goes
 Above 90 Degrees-The Natives Are Semi-
 savages and WarIike.
 If the United States should obtain control of the Philippine Islands, 1t would then be only question of a short while until the Caroline Islands pass into American rule. The Caroline Islands over whick Spain now holds sovereignty, stretch about 2,000 miles from east to west, and though near to the equator, and in a climate of per- petual summer, the thermometer ranges from "A degrees to ST degrees through the year Within the group there are five islands, of basaltic form ation, some of them having high noun tains from 2,0O0 to 5000 feet high. These are Kusaie, Ponape, Ruk Tap, and Pelew. Kusaic and Ponape have been called the Gems of the Pacific. ]" For over thirty years the micronesian mission has fourished in the islands, island after island having been visited by Christian teachers, and no one ever visiting there. ever saw any sign or ever had the remotest thought that any European nation claimed sovereignty there. There were no Spaniards on the islands. no Spanish vessels in the waters. The natives were absolutely independent and their chiefs were not even asked to recognize any authority outside of their islands. The Caroline islanders are elaborately tatooed, but their clothing is of the slightest. The characteristics vary somewhat on the various islands but most of the people are savage and warlike. While not noted for eannibalism, it is said that on some of the islands there is not an adult who has not tasted human flesh. In 1888 more than thirty different is- lands were occupied by native Chris @an teachers trained under American missionaries; the people were Chris aanized; liquor and tobacco were ban !sHed from the islands and sthe Ten Commandment" became a code of laws. There were established forty seven churches, with 4,500 members and fifteen native pastors. Such was the condition of the islands in 1888 un- til a question of territorial rights was disputed by the European powers be- cause of spain's enforcement of her claim Of sovereignty. The matter ia dispute was referred to the pope for ar bitfation who in his discussion gave the Marshall Islands to Germany, the Carolint Islands to Spain, and the Gil- bert Group to England. After that a Spanish governor six Roman Catholic priests and fifty Spanish soldiers were sent to Ponape. Since then no Ameri can missionary has been allowed to remain at Ponape. The Micronesian missionary boat has been forbidden to eoGen tt any point of the islands ex, cept at the Spanish naghor. Recently after years of delay. the Spanish gov ernmant has paid $17,5 for the Amer. fcan mission property destroyed Spanish vessels seldom appear in tn.

 In the latter branch they may almost be looked upon as experimentalists and in view of the nature of the soil of Venice. the wonder is that their structures have lasted five CT six hun dred years, especially when it is re- membered that they did not seruple to add great weight in the way of super structures to buildings which had been erected for centuries without strength. enfng the foundations.
