ISLE OF MONTE CRiSTO.
Prince Of Naples Presents II as Gift
to His Wife.

Now the story comes that the young
Prince of Naples has purchased the Isl.
and OF Monte Cristo as a present for
his charming wife and erected there a
hunting lodge. which lie proposes to
make his headquarters whenever the
fancy seizes him to fee from the glare
and hustle of court life.
outside of Dumas work you will find
very little mention Of the Island. Yet
that It has had romantic history Is
pretty clear. Situated as 1t Is In the
Mediterranean. twenty.seven miles
south Of Elba. 1t is manifestly impossl.
BILE that 1t was always as isolated and
as desolate as II has been within the
last few centuries.
There are grottocs on the island. but
hardly sucn one as Dumas describes
the one in which the marvellous treas sure
was found. At the same time there are
few places in the world where treas
urc Is more likely to he buried. and for
the very good reason that In bygone
ages this Island Of Monte Cristo was O
favorlte resort Of smugglers and pira ties.
Neither does 1t contain anything likely
to attract the ordinary tourist. The
ground Is mainly covered with bowl
ders. and there Is not an acre Of land
which can be cultivated. On the other
hand. the sportsman and the naturalist
will find many treasures amid this ma s.
of rock.
That the Prince and Princess OF Ma.
pies will heartily enjoy whatever days
they may spend on this rugged and
romantic spot Is certain. Both Of them
are fond OF outdoor life. and there are
few better sportsmen than the Prince in
Europe. For that matter there are very
few women who are more skilled than
the Princess with shotgun or a rife.
If the Prince and Princess so desire
they can be as Isolated on their island
as they would be In the heart of Africa.
and with this difference within q
few hours after the within siezcs them
they can be transported from their oasis
to the heart Of Italy.--Dciroit Free
