Two Islands

A year after the treaty OF peace
which coded the Philippines to the
United States was signed at Paris it
was discovered that the boundaries as
defined in the treaty did not include
two islands OF the group, which are
just off the coast of Borneo. These
islands are known as Cibitu and Caga-
yam. The two islands are insignificant
in area and thinly populated, probably
containing from 5000 to 5000 people L.
all. Cibitu Is long, narrow island, ii
miles in length by two across. 1t Is
fiat and uninteresting, save for one
conical mountain in tae center, about
500 feet high. 1t is surrounded by coral
reefs, with no anchorage to speak OF.
Clbitu lies only four miles outside of
the southern boundary fixed by the
treaty of Paris. Cagayan Is about the
same area, five miles by eight, with
mountains reaching height of 100
feet 1t is the largest of half dozen
tiny islets known as the Cagayan Suln

Magnificent GIFT ModestIy Made

The Presbyterian hospital, New
York, was this week made the recipi-
ent Of handsome gift in rather un-
usual manner. On the condition that
the name of the donor be not divulged,
100000 was appropriated for the erec-
ton of another building, to afford
quarters for the nurses and members
of the resident staff, who at present
occupy nearly one-third of the ward
building of the hospital. The donation
may be said to be rather the building
than the money, as the structure is to
be built at the expense of the benefac-
tor on property at present owned by
the hospital. 1t is expected that the
new building will be completed within
year.-Utica Globe.
