The Island Of St. Helena.

All that has given the island of st.
Helena Its fame is the fact that it
was there.that Napoleon spent the last
six years Csf5-1S2D of his life. SO
long as his name continues TO hold
the place Il does in human history, the
little isolated volcanic cone os forty
seven square miles, with population
of barely 1000, viii not be permitted 10
sink into oblivion The transporta-
ton OF General Cronje and his men to
that lonely place, more than !, 200 miles
from Africa and 500 miles from the
nearest island (Ascension), would, of
course, serve to add to it new interest
and bring it once more into promi-
nence.
St. Helena was discovered in 1852 by
Portuguese explorer, Juan de Nova
Castillo. 1t was then densely wooded
with redwood and ebony, but the de-
strwction of its forests has been fol-
lowed by a wasting away of its soil,
50 that the slopes are mostly barren.
Willows. poplars and other trees from
the temperate zone have been intro
duced Apples, pears, grapes and po-
tatoes have been brought, and now
grow side by side with coffee and tea
plants, sugar caneA cotton and ba-
nanas.
The island was settled by Portu-
guese deserters, who were afterward
joined by escaped slaves. Their off
spring were a little later largely exter-
minated by the Portuguese. Some of
them, however, must have escaped the
general slaughter, for when Sir John
Cavendish in his voyage around the
world, visited St. Helena in 1885, he
found it inhabitated and containing a
small town In 1916 the Dutch at
tempted to establish settlement, but
relinquished the island to the English
in 1861. In 1868 the commander of a
home bound East India feet of Eng
lish vessels took formal possession Of
it in the name of Charles II, who i'm
mediately made it over to the East
India Company. The Dutch again OBJ
tanned possession in 1872, but the next
year it was. recaptured by Captain
Richard Munden with three ships.
Since that time the island has remain
ed in British possession.-Ne York
