How New Zealand Furnishes Crime.

New Zealand fits punishment to crime
more nearly than most countries. Thus,
at Wanganui, when certain sawyers
troubled their neighbors by their drunk
en- freaks, the dclinquents were made
to pay the fines imposed in such labor
as they were accustomed to and were
set to saw wood with which to build Il
prison. The result was that, rather than
transgress again, they vanished from
the locality as soon as the ediiice was
complete.

CANAL IDEA IS AN OLD ONE,
H@r1y N@visatora Discussed g utt.ns
Through the IsthEaua OF
Panama,

The advantage of a. canal or naviga-
bic channel through the isthmus of
Panama is so obvious that it is not
surprising to find the idea of such a
waterway was seriously considered in
the early days of Spanish conquest in
the new world, says tie Newcastle
(England) Chronicle.
In the year 1921 the famous Cortes,
being then in Mexico Tor New Spain)
sent three ships on voyage to the Mo-
luccas in charge of Alyaro De Saavedra.
The expedition was an unfortunate one,
as two of the ships were lost On the
outward voyage, and saavedra did not
live to carry out his intention of re-
turning by way of the city of Panama,
on the Pacific side, and thence across
the isthmus. His view was that at
Panama he might unIade the cloves
and merchandise that he had, that so
in cartes it might be carried across the
planes fouer leagues, to the river
Chagre, which they say is navigable,
running out int the North sea, not
far from Nombre de Dios, where the
ships ride which: come out. Of spaine. ~
In his discoveries of the World''
published in 1855 and translated by
Hakluyt and published in England in
1901, Antonio Galvano, governor of
Ternate, in the Moluccas, says of Saa-
vedra:
IF he had lived he meant to have
opened the land of Castillo do Oro and
New Spain from sea to sea, which
might have been done in four places
namely, from the Guile of St. Michael
to Uraba, which is rs leagues, or from
Panama to Nombre de Dios, being II
leagues distant; or through Zaquator,
river of Nicaragua, which springeth
out of lake. three or fouer leagues
from the South sea, and falleth into
the North sea; whereupon doe sale
great barks and crayers. The other
place is from Tecoantepec, the river
of Vera Cruz in the Bay of Honduras,
which also might be opened in a
straight, which, if it were done. then
they might sale from the Canaries int
the Malucos under the zodiake in a
temperate climate, in Jesse time and
with much Jesse danger, than to sale
through the Cape Of Bona speranza
or by the Straight of Magellan, or by
the northwest" y. :, -

TRAGEDY OF A LIFE.
Sailor Deserted by Friends Dies
Alone on a Barren Island.
His Skeleton Found In His Bunk with
Diary by His Side i'm Which Ha
Had Recorded His Terrible
Experiences,

On Unimak island, which guards one
of the entrances to the Behring sea, a
rude mound Of rocks marks the last
resting place Of Charles William An
derson, sailor, fisherman and hunter.
Anderson starved to death on the
bleak and barren island waiting for
friends who deserted him. He died on
June 10, 1899, and his skeleton in his
bunk and his diary beside it were found
by two hunters who were driven on the
island during a storm.
The diary was addressed to Andrew
Crossword, of Unga, who arrived at San
Francisco few days ago with his
friends last writings
Several vessels passed by his island
prison, the pathetic record reads, but
none saw Anderson's flag Of distress.
Once vessel WAS becalmed close to the
shore and he tried to reach it, but he
had not the strength left to launclnhis
little boat. His legs had failed him and
he could only pull himself along by his
elbows.
He deliberated on shooting his dog,
Dempsey, but he could not screw up
courage to STAY his faithful friend. ''He
brought seals to me throu gh the break
ers," he wrote, "end Tied him as long as
! could Finally the dog disappeared.
The diary records the terrible suffer-
ings of Anderson from thirst and his
expeditions after fresh water. The Last
entry says:
"Monday, June 1e.---Now 7 must go
for water again. am more afraid this
time than before. But with Gods help
! may come back again. ! would not
like to die outside. But Gods will be
done"
He had his wish, for he returned and
died in his bunk.
