CLAIMS FOR MANGLE ISLAND
Sovereignty Over Them and Other
Small Islands Asserted by
Nicaragua.

The government of Nicaragua has
recently put in claim to sovereignty
over several groups of small islands,
including the Mangle islands, lying
off the Atlantic coast of the Isthmus
of Panama, says the Washington Star.
The question arose when President
Loubet of France recently gave his
decision as to the boundary between
Costa Rica and Colombia. The deci-
sion awarded to Colombia consider
able part of the territory in dispute,
including the valuable bay of Chiriqui,
on the Atlantic side, and also several
groups of outlying islands which were
in dispute between the two govern
ments. When the award was made
known Nicaragua came forward with
q claim of ownership over the small
group of islands. 1t was answered
in behalf of Colombia that President
Loubet had carefully gone over the
records establishing ownership, and
that these had failed to disclose any
authority on the part of Nicaragua
to claim them. The negotiations have
not proceeded beyond this point. The
islands are rather unimportant except
for their strategic location off the
easterly entrance to any canal route
which may be chosen. For this reason
the controversy has received the at
tention of the isthmian canal commits
sion, which has not, however, had oc-
casion to take definite action on the
subject.

A writer in the Philadelphia Times
says that silk culture is not, and never
has been, an exceedingly remunerative
business, but it adds vast wealth to the
nations engaged in It for the simple
reason that it can be pursued by the
humblest and poorest, requiring only
a small outlay. The raising of few
pounds of cocoons every year does not
materially interfere with tie house

AROUND THE WORLD.
A Trip That Has Never Been
Made Despite All Claims to
the Contrary.

No one has yet really made jour-
ney around the world, says a reli-
able authority. The course usually
followed is approximately about 20,
600 miles in length. The shortest
time for this distance is that made
by George Griffith, an Englishman,
who accomplished the distance in
644 days, as an ordinary passenger,
via Suez and Hong-Kong.
The only way to make real trip
around the world would be at the
equator, where the circumference is
"a 800 miles, nearly 5000 miles
longer than the usual route.
Some years ago an Italian offered
to accomplish this task in three years
provided the necessary funds were
found; but nothing came of it. 1t is
extremely doubtful whether such q
feat is within the realms of posi-.
bility as q man rash enough to un.
dertake it would have to spend
