EngIand's Elderly King.

With one exception, never since Egg
berthe first king of England
came to the throne has successor
assembled it who exceeded, or even
approached, the present king in
years. The Saxon and Danish sover-
eigns had short reigns, and for the
most part died young. Even Alfred
the Great, who made England and
ruled for 80 years, was only SO at his
death. The very first of our mon
archs to attain the age of three-score
and ten was our first great queen,
Elizabeth, and she was 26 when she
came to the throne. All the house
of Hanover, of whom the present
king is the seventh, have been long
lived, George l., who died at 81, being
the youngest. William ". did not
succeed his brother until he was 65,
and he was older than the king by
six years. George ". was a trife
younger when he came to the throne.

CANOE VOYAGES NTHEpAc1F1c
Recent Instances of Long Journeys
Made by Islanders in Frail
Native Vessels.

Some of the Pacific Islanders do not
hesitate to venture far out of sight
of land in their tiny vessels. The
Deutsches Kolonialblatt prints a
story of one of these voyages which
illustrates the capacity of the island
ers to travel long distances in their
canoes without any of the scientific
aids possessed by civilized navigators.
The story comes from zap, the
chief trading point of the Caroline is
lands, which now belong to Germany.
Soon after the terrible typhoon in
November, 1898, party of natives OF
Ugoi island set out in their canoes
for Fails, east of zap, in search of
some of their friends who, while at
sea, had been dispersed by the tenn
pest.
On account of adverse winds the
rescue party were unable to reach
either Fails or any other island to the
east, and they finally sailed west with
the wind at their backs till they
reached Guivan, on the Island of
Samar, in the central part of the Phil
ippine group. Seven canoes with a
total crew of 80 men landed on this
island. After waiting in vain for a
west wind, they took in supplies of
cocoanuts and water and set sail for
home.
They beat about for 80 days, but
saw no sign of land. Uncertain what
| course to take, they finally parted
company. Some of the canoes tried
to reach the Pelew archipelago and
others set sail for the Ngoli group.
One canoe started for zap, which it
reached in 10 days, after voyage of
1000 geographical miles. Four of the
other canoes finally joined the first at
zap.
How are these natives able to steer
course across these watery wastes?
They have no compass and know little
of the art of navigation as civilized
people understand it. Each canoe,
however, contained a skillful naviga-
tor, who has been trained from boy
hood to steer by the stars. Night
after night they rectify their course
ard in the day time they seldom get
far from the track they wish to fol,
low.
It is believed that most of the Pa
cific islands became inha bted through
the misfortunes of natives who,
while at sea, were driven by adverse
winds far from their course. In this
way they were peopled by involun-
tary immigration. 1t seems likely
also that the daring and hardihood
of these native sailors may have
prompted them some times to venture
so far from their homes as to come
within sight of unknown islands and
thus have resulted, by involuntary
means, in their settlement.
