OLD QUARRELS IN THE ARMY.

Gen. Miles is not the only comman-
der-in-chief OF the army who has been
called liar by subordinate Ninety
years ago General-then Captain
Winfield Scott was tried by a court
martial for having said lat

TWO traitors, Gen. Wilkinson and Burr
and that Gen. Wilkinson was a liar
ana scoundrel.' He was found guilty
and was suspended for year. The
sentence was rather severe in view Of
the fact that Wilkinson was all ScoIs
said he was. Al a later day SCOTS
Own conduct was severely criticised
Ny subordinates. When he was com
manding in Florida III 1896 Gen. Jessup

A VANISHING ISLAND.
England and France Have Both An
nexed 1t, But Can't Keep It

Out in the Pacific is a strip of land
which has Il will OF its own and will
not undergo allegiance to any power.
They call it Falcon Island.
Our ola friend John Bull, always on
the watch 10 increase his empire. was
the first to encounter it. In 1889 the
British corvette Egera noted prom
inent island in the South Sea. Palm
trees were growing on its southern ex-
tremity, a commanding bluff rising 150
teet above the sea.
On landing, the commander was
struck with the beauty OF the island.
It was not more than mile in length
and half a mile broad. As there was no
sign OF the island having been noticed,
the captain, after having christened il
FALCON Island, planted the Union Jack
on its topmost pinnacle.
The results OF his voyage were re-
ported, and next year transport chip
was sent with oraers to make further

reports. The captain of the Egeria,
who happened to be in command of
the transport, on arriving at the place
where he had left the island was sur
prised to find that it had disappeared.
Nothing was left but a low and dan
gerous coral reef, with the sea beating
against it. The cliff had disappeared,
and with it the palm trees ana vegeta-
ton. England's flag had sunk with
the land.
Two years later the French govern
ment sent the cruiser Duchaffault to
the Pacific. She found her way to Fall
con. There was an island nearly the
exact counterpart of the one discov-
cred by the English corvette in 1889,
except that the southern promontory
was rs feet high instead of 1853, as re-
ported by the Egeria. The palm trees
had gone, but the island was still YER
dant. The resurrected island was
formally annexed in the name of the
French republic, and the French flag
was left flying.
Two years later a brig sent out by
France to revisit her possessions found
that Falcon Island had again disap-
peared, and was simply reef, danger
Gus to navigation. Whereupon France,
i'll her turn, gave up possession.
Next the home government of Tonga
Island, hearing of the disappearing
piece of land, sent an expedition to
Falcon. The isle was once again in
evidence, the southern promontory
