CRUsOE'S ISLAND.
Some Things That Visitor Recent
Iy Saw There.
from the Philadelphla Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Capt. Slocum, who is telling the readers
of the Century about his voyage in the
Spray, has this to say about Crusoe's Isl
and: Juan Fernandez, as a place of call,
is a lovely spot The hills are well wood
ed, the valleys fertile, and pouring down
through many ravines are streams of pure
water There are no serpents on the ISL
and, and no wild beasts other than pigs
and goats, of which l saw number, with
possibly dog or two.
The people live without the use of rum
or beer of any sort. There is not police
officer or lawyer among them. The do
nestle economy of the island is simple
lty itself. The fashions of Paris do not
affect the Inhabitants; each dresses ac-
cording to his own taste. Although there
Is no doctor the people are all healthy,
and the children all beautiful. There are
about forty-fve souls on the island all
told. The adults are mostly from the
maitland of South America. One lady
there from Chill, who made a flying jib
for the Spray. taking her pay in tallow,
would be called a belle at Newport. Bless
ed island Of Juan Fernandez! Why Alex
ander Selkirk left you is more than 1 can
make out.
A large ship that had arrived some time
head of the bay, and as the sea smashed
her to pieces on the rocks, after the fire
was drowned, the islanders picked up the
timbers and utilized them in the construc-
ton of houses, which naturally presented
a ship-lilxe appearance The house of the
King of Juan Fernandez Manuel Carroza
by name, besides resembling The ark, wore
a polished brass lInocker on its only door,
which was painted green In front of this
gorgeous entrance was a fiag-mast, all
ataunto, and near 1t a smart whale boat
painted red and blue, the delight of the
Kings old age.
l, of course, made a pilgrimage to the
old lookout place at the top of the noun
TAIN where Selkirk spent many days peer
ing into the distance for the ship that
came at last. The cave in which
Selkirk dwelt while on the island is at
the head of the bay, now called Robin
son Crusoe bay. 1t is around bold head
land, west of the present anchorage and
landing Ships have anchored there but
it affords a very different berth.
Juan Fernandez was once a convict sta
ton A number of caves In which the
prisoners were kept, damp, unwholesome
dens, are no longer in use, and no more
prisoners are sent to the island.

yliiiiication read in another col
ann. As far as can be learned
Eagan's resentment dates from the
time of last summer when General
Miles was at Porto Rico. When
three hundred thousand pounds of
fresh meat spoiled on board a ship
OFF the island of Porto Rico. That
cargo of spoiled meat was a fat
thing for New York soap manu-
facturer, who bought the stuff, but
the government lost $27, 600 by
the transaction. General Eagan,
is the head of the COmmissary De-
partment, and he does not want to
shoulder the loss of the meat, and
he rayed because the testimony OF
General Miles stated that chemi-
cally prepared meat was sent as an
experiment to the army. After
General Miles had despatched to
the department not to send more
meat to Porto Rico, the cargo OF
meat above mentioned comes in
with its loss Of twenty seven thou
sand dollars. That cargo OF meat
was being loaded when General
Miles telegraph was received. Re
gardless of the order of the com
manding General, Eagan let tho
meat go. When the meat came t.
/ Porto Rico, General Miles refused
to receive it,. Instead of explain
ing why Eagan shipped the meat
in disregard of the order of the
Commanding General, he plays the
blackguard, and abuses Miles.

KILLING CHRISTMAS HUG

The Philadelphia Inquirer, says
Mrs. Charles Duey, aged 50 yeais
of Pottsville, was seriously injured
by "a friendly hngging ON Christ
s: DaeaMerGs sssa acAAanx,
She called a1A snzsme friends, and
was warmly greeted. The daugh-
ters of the family, strong robust
girls, wished her a ''Merry Christ
mas" and proceeded to hug the
'dear old soul"
Mrs. Duey asked the girls to re-
lease her, telling them that they
were hurting her. Not thinking
they were doing her any harm
they continued their hugging dem
Onstrations until the old lady col
lapsed.
A physician was called, when it
was ascertained that she had
several ribs and her breast bone
fractured, besides being bruised
and injured internally. Her con
dition is serious. The young wo-
men feel their condition keenly.

How a Chameleon Changes Color.

The chameleon is little lizard who
possesses the wonderful power of chang
ing his color to suit his own conven-
ience. Florida produces several species
of these lizards in abundance. This is
the process by which tho little lizard
effects his changes:
Certain colors through the medium of
the optic nerve produce contraction or
expansion Of the pigment CT color cells
The result is q protective tint or ono
which resembles that upon which the
animal is resting. The eye receives the
stimulus or impression, which passes
from the optic nerve to the sympathetic
nerve, SO reaching the various series of
the lizard S little color cells under the
skin.
The pigment cells are distributed all
over the body with more or less regular
ity, and upon their contraction and ex-
pansion depends the prevailing color Of
the animal.
The scientist discovered this by blind
folding lizard and found that when it
could not see the colcr OF the surround
ing foliage it ceased 90 change its own
color.-St. Louis Republic.

He does not favor a padded pay

that would rule out the padded

such committees are expensive and
take the time of Legislators.

unpleasant TO himself and others
it may be.
