UNlNHABITED ISLANDS.

There Are Thousands Of Them In the
Indian Ocean.
If you should want an island-that is,
an uninhabited island-for the purpose
OF occupying it alone, Robinson Crusoe
like, or to use it for romantic fiction or
for any other purpose, to the exclusion
of all others in the world, you need have
no trouble in finding one if you see fit
to make journey to the Indian ocean.
In the waters between Madagascar and
India you can find more than $4,000 of
them, where there is not a human be-
Ing and where you can if you will, be
monarch of all you survey.
An English traveller has recently been
among the small islands that dot the
western end of the Indian ocean to
make an inventory of them and re-
ports that he counted 1900 and found
only about 900 of them inhabited.
Now, there is a good chance for any
one who may want an island
These particular islands are not large
as islands go, but very many of them
are sufficient for the purpose of a Rob

steeply from 20 to 100 feet, well cover
ed with rich soil, through which small
fresh water streams hurry to the sea,
which they reach after flowing over
beaches of glistening calcareous sand
that are begirt by coral reefs, which
form walls about the islands,.

Out Of the chilling rain and fog .
That hid the mountain from our sight
A dusky cloud came floating down
At early dawn of light. -..-
The cloud dropped softly to the lake
Amid sound of whirring wings Z
And spread into graceful line
A host of living things
We hailed this burst Of joyous life;
The sunless day seemed dark no more,
When suddenly shot rang out
And echoed round the Shore
The waterfowl were natures guests,
But they were doomed, and all that day
The shots pealed forth, and en- the waves
The dead and dying lay.
At last into the brooding mist
There vanished softly as it came,
broken flock, with plumage torn,
After that day of shame.

Stopping Mine Fires.

4 recent issue of Mines and Minerals
has the following regarding stopping
OFF mine fires:
"An answer given TO one of the
questions in n mine foremans exam
inaton. as taken from the report of
the State mine Inspector of Indiana for
1898. suggests an interesting subject
for discussion. The question describes
the coal at the face of II pair of en-
tries as having been fired by the flame
OF IA blast. Back from the face, at some
point in the air course, q strong gas
feeder is giving Off a. cousidcra BILE
volume of marsh gas. This gas is car
ried by the air current toward the face
of the entries, where ii comes into
contact, more or less, with the coal
fred by the blast. The problem for So
luton is Hs TO the best method of eX-
tingushing the fire.
According To the report, an attempt
was made 10 stop off the tire i'm the
face OF the entries by building a stop
ping. This was unsuccessful ana re-
suited in an explosion, us We might cX-

Townley to be Courtmartialed

WASHINGTON.-L Richard P. Townley, a retired officer of the navy, will be court martialed for alleged participation in the commissary frauds at Manila. Rear Admiral Kempff, in temporary command of the Asiatic squadron, today reported to the navy department that he had detached Townley from command of the naut- ical school and would send him to the gunboat Manila, under suspension, to await further action. It is alleged that Townley on two occasions had attempted to extort money from the firms of Castle Bros. and Wolfe & Sons of Manila. The money, it is charged, was to be used in part to clear up the accounts of the army commissary.
 Prompt action was taken by the de- partment upon receipt of Rear Ad- miral Kempff's report, cable orders being issued for Townley's trial by a general court-martial, to be convened as speedily as possible.
