EXIST ONLY ON THE MAPS.
There Are Many Islands That Are
Known to Geographers, But
No One Else.


One of the strangest and most sue
cessful hoaxes on record has lately been
exposed through report made to the
photographic office at Washington by
Capt. Buford, of the transport Grant,
plying between San Francisco, Honolulu
and Manila. AS result of the reports
received by the photographic office it
has been decided that Morrell and
Byer islands, named after Capt. Morrell
and his mate, who discovered" them
in the whaling schooner Tartar, never
had any existence, but were simply re-
ported by the captain and his mate as
means of achieving the distinction of
having their names on the charts and
maps of the Pacific ocean, says the New
York Sun.
Since 1925 the two islands have been
charted, and navigators and students
all the world over have accepted Capt.
Morrelrs report that they were where
he stated he had found them. Capt.
Morrell reported the islands to be in
north latitude 30 degrees and SO min
utes, east longitude 174 degrees and 81
minutes. He gave detailed descriptions
of the islands, which were duly put on
record, and the government charts
were corrected accordingly. The
whaler stated in his report that
he had taken possession in the
name of the United States and it was at
his request that they were named Nor
rell and Byer, in honor Of the captain
and mate.
1t now appears that the report was
all joke. The captain and mate went
through life without ever giving it
away, if it was, while vessel after vessel
in crossing the Pacific kept careful
lookout for two little islands that had
no existence. Capt. Morrell and Matt
Byer carried to the grave with them the
knowledge that the government had
charted islands that were only dream.
The war with Spain and the annexa-
tion of Hawaii brought the end of the
international marine joke. Travel
across the Pacific from San Francisco
to Honolulu and Manila was suddenly
doubled and trebled, and quite num-
Der of the steamers that took the direct
route to Manila without stopping at
Honolulu passed near where Morrell
island ought to have been, but there
is no log in existence, barring that of
the whaling schooner Tartar, in which
call at Morrell island is mentioned.
Last February Capt. Buford, of the
army transport Grant, decided to set
tie the matter on his return trip from
Manila to San Francisco. He headed
straight for Morrell island. On Febru-
ary 20 he reached the locality where it
was-on the chart. There was no land
in sight. Capt. Buford steered his ship
directly on toward the spot where his
charts showed Morrell island to be. 1t
was clear day and the lookout could
have detected land anywhere within a
radius of rs miles. No land was seen.
The big transport steamed right over
Capt. Morrell's bit of territory and, the
water did not grow even shallow. This
settled the question finally.

VALUE OF EXPERT OPINION.
An Instance That Illustrates the
Practicnlity of Applied Science
archaeological Education.

1t is said that whenever car wheel
breaks, on a certain great trunk line,
the fragments are taken to the COM
pany's laboratory and carefully stud
led, so that when the next order for
car wheels is made up, II structural
weakness caused the accident, it may
be guarded against. Indeed, we are
told that all the purchases by this
railroad of iron, steel, oil, lumber or
what not, are tested by the chemists
it employs, and they draw up the re-
quirements to which persons who sell
the road supplies must conform. This
Is not an isolated instance. 1t illus
trates, says Youths Companion. the
practically of applied science, and the
reliance of acute business men upon
the expert opinion" that insures
them against wasting materials, time
and money.
A class recently graduated from one
of our largest chronological schools
numbered ITO young men and women
Eleven of them took up special studies
in this institution or others. All but
SO of the rest found employment with
in year. They engaged in the service
of electric companies, railroads, cot
ton and paper mills, mines, machine
works, iron and steel foundries, and
others of our most important indus
trial enterprises.
Many of the establishments that
welcomed the young graduates are in
peculiar sense "close corporations"
A man who had nothing but money
might not be able to enter their en-
ploy; and if he did, his wealth would
confer mo privileges, since they do not
need money. They do appreciate spe-
cial knowledge and technical skill, and
the man who possesses these. aualifi-
cations may find that they open the
way to places of authority and-honor.
The time has been when a youth
who pursued scientific pursuits had
little to expect but toll and poverty.
rhe prospect must have deferred many
who would have endured anything fer
themselves, but who had others, de-
pendent, to consider. TO such men
the application of science to every
day industry means much. In effect
II has created innumerable new occu-
pations that offer living and
chance to learn. One who deserves
success will ask no more-until he has
earned 1t.

SEX OF DIAMONDS.
The Female Stones Said to
BE More Brilliant.

A short time ago certain jewelers.
window in Rue de la Paix, Paris, ex-
hibited a tray of diamonds whose ex-
treme beauty and brilliance attracted
throngs of admiring passers-by, and
many times day the obliging propri-
etor was called upon to explain the re-
markable diversity of color.
AS matter of fact, this tray is well
known to the trade, and is specially
manufactured to display the wonder
full prismatic hues of the large At
rican mine diamonds. The fire and
play of color revealed are exquisite.

up a sparkler here and there with his
diamond tweezers, was very interest

somewhat less than four carats, and
worth 1880 francs. It changes it's
color in different lights; in strong
sumlight it is almost black; in gaslight
a rich golden brown. After exposure
to the rays of the sun it will remain
luminous in the dark for time, but a
candle flame develops its Iuster more
than any other light.
'sHere is grass-green diamond" !"
went on the speaker; sits brilliance
and fire exceed any emerald's known.
This is for an American amateur of
precious stones.
"Look at this spray of colored dia-
monds. Isn't it charming piece OF
jewelry, with its yellow, black, gray.
green, indigo and cinnamon-colored
jewels? A Tyrolese spent most of his
life collecting these.
'This rich deep red, like ruby,
only more beautiful, is extremely rare
and costly, The Russian emperor has
purchased this. and also the peach
blow tinted gem next to 1T.
ssHere Is blue diamond from the
old Indian mines," he added, almost
as choice a thing as the red one, and
these are all yellow diamonds, mostly
canary-colored. The West Indian trade
prefer this line, and all of these 9TH
ers are white, nearly colorless and per-
fectly transparent, and resemble a
drop of clear water.
''Do they break? The old theory
about the hardness of the diamond is
greatly modified. Some of these gems
are so brittle that could break them
by dropping them on the floor. / can
pulverize them in mortar or split
them with knife in the direction of
their cleavage lines. These white dia-
monds make fine microscopic lenses:
their magnifying power is SO superior
to that of glass"
He bent over the gems moment,
and, picking up beautiful white
stone of couple of carats, turned
again to his listeners.
ibid you ever know there was sex
in jewels?" he asked; "here is curl
osity," and under strong magnifying
glass he pointed out group of five
or six tiny diamonds clustered about
the edge of the stone, but unperceiv-
able without the lens.
SThe male gem never gathers these
little buds" the jeweler continued;
"this is called the female, or multiply
ing diamond. And the female stone
is not only more brilliant, but of
greater size and less prone to be
flawed.
"The largest and best known dia-
monds in history and collections are
all female jewels. Strange, isn't it2"

WORLDS BEYOND NEPTUNE.
Results of the Search Now Being
Made by Professor Lau, of
Denmark.

In 1846 Adams and lie Verrier pointed
out that the motion of the planet
Uranus was disturbed in progressive
manner probably by an unknown PLAN
ct. The planet Neptune was discovered
in that year in consequence of their cal
culations, as everyone knows.
The methods that they employed
have been perfected since that time and
the theory of Neptune has been critic
ally examined by Prof Newcomb and
others to see II 1t yielded any evidence
for the existence of unknown major
planets revolving about the sun in or
bits exterior to those of Uranus and
Neptune. Prof. Newcomb's conclu-
sions were that the evidence was not
yet decisive either way. The problem
has lately been attacked again by Hans
Lau, of Copenhagen, who finds evidence
that two such planets exist. Atleastif
the major planets pointed out by him
do exist the observations of Uranus
and Neptune which he has used (1690-
1S95) would represent the theoretical
motions of these planets better than
they are represented, supposing his
planets not to exist. His theoretical
planets have these elements, says the
Chicago Chronicle;
First planet-Distance from the sun,
AZ times the earth's distance; mass one
twelve thousand nine hundredths of the
suns mass.
Second planet-Distance from the sun
II times the earth's distance, mass one
twenty-eight hupdredths of the suns
mass,
Both of these planets are thus exteri-
or to Neptune, whose distance from the
sun Is 80 times the earth's distance.
The first planet has mass somewhat
greater than that of Neptune, the Sec
cnd planet mass somewhat greater
than that of Saturn. The stellar mag
pitude would be abouttenth and hence
they are easily photographed. Prof.
Pickering, director of the Harvard col
lege observatory, has instituted a
search for them on the Photographic
maps of the sky which are in process Of
construction at Cambridge, Such plan
etsas these would have small, though
appreciable, disk, and would therefore
differ in appearance from the fixed
stars in their neighborhood. 1t is like.
ly thatif they veritably exist they could
be detected by their appearance alone
in the great telescope of the Yerkes and
Lick observatories.
The researches undertaken by Mr..
Lau are very delicate and it is far from
certain that the data are sufficient for
the purpose. The method is adequate
and sooner or later will lead to a COM
plete solution.

THE OLD SWEET STORY.

What of the story olden
OF love that may not cease?
Pass we through portals golden
To dreamed-of realms of peace?
Over the way SO lonely
We fare from lands like this,
But ever we feel only
Loves clasp, dear, andfits kiss.
What of the storms above me
In all the shrouded skies?
Since you have said you love me
The lovelier lights arisel
What of all earthly splendor-
What of all earthly ties
If that your lips are tender
Upon hfe's dying eyes?
Sweetheart! through wales of sorrow
I ever dream see
A beautiful tomorrow
Dawn from your eyes to me!
No dream is sweet as this is
Though dreams have ffeeting breath
To know I'll feel your kisses
Down to the gates of Death!
