VICTORIA VICTORIOUS.

World
AND GOES TO HER REWARD

Cowes. Isle of Wight, Jan. eat
5:15 Sunday p. m, the members of the
royal family were still gathered in a
room adjoining the queens bedcham-
Der. The crisis had then been expect
ed momentarily since the previous mid
night. The paralysis was chiefly evil
dent in the face, one side of which

power. causing almost a total loss of
sicians and nurses were admitted with
the exception of short visits at inter-
walls from the Prince of Wales, who is
sick and scarcely able to go from Lon
don to Osborne
It is worthy of note that the London
papers did not mention by even the
most yelled alIusion the fact that the
queen has had a paralytic stroke.
Pages were devoted to the mournful
scenes at Osborne house and to de-
scriptions of occurrences here. as well
as to kilograms from the colonies and
foreign countries testifying to the sym
pathy everywhere evoked.
According to the Daily Telegraph,
Emperor William, who had expressed a
desire to be received at Osborne house,
not as emperor but as grandson, said
on hearing of the queens illness:
Il am my grandmOther's eldest
grandson. and my mother is unable
from illness to hasten to her bedside.
The emperor arrived in London on
on Sunday, and King Leopold was then
enrOute.
Victoria was born in Kensington
Palace, London, May 24. 1919, and is
therefore in her eighty-second year.

of Wales ascends the throne his title

Venezuela may be gathered from the
statement that the Central American
country, which has an area five times
as large as that OF the state Of Michi-
gan, has a total population OF only
$4,000 somewhat less than that Of
Michigan, of which number nearly one
fourth are uncivilized Indians. The
regular army of Venezuela consists of
$500 men, with a militia which in time
of civil war has put as many as Co. 900
men into the field. So far as a navy is
concerned. Venezuela has only three
small steamers and two sailing YES
sells, with three or four small river
gunboats. Furthermore. it has been
only four years since the United States
interviewed on behalf of Venezuela in
its dispute over the question of boun-
dairy with Great Britain and secured
the appointment of an arbitration COM
mission, by the decision Of which sew
eral hundred square miles of valuable
territory, including some rich gold
mines and the country to the south of

ODE Bone of Contention
The asphalt lake, for the possession
of which the rival American companies
are fighting, lies between q range OF
mountains and the shore of one of the
outlets of the northern delta of the
Orinoco river, near the bay of Paria-
The lake is mile and a half in length
by a mile in width and comprises more
than I 600 acres of swampy land Most
of the surface of the sO-called lake is
covered with a rank growth of grasses
and shrubs rising to a height of eight
or ten feet and interspersed with tall
palm trees. The pitch or asphaltum

on the Trinidad lakes. but bubbles up,
as if from springs. The pitch, how
ever. underiies most of the surface in
Guided in the lake and has a depth
varying from two TO ten feet. In the
center of the lake is a patch of about
seven acres which is free from yegeta-

that it cannot be walked on. The whole
surface of the lake is so low that dur
ing the spring floods it Is entirely COW
cred by water. The pitch is dug out
of the lake by native labor and carted
to a convenient place near a seaport,
where it is refined. The raw asphalt
