The island of Juan Fernandez, lying 600 miles west of Valparaiso (made fa- nous by the story of Robinson Crusoe), promises soon to develop industrial in- tereSts.
 The island belongs to Chilli, and the government is now arranging to make it part of one of the provinces and es- tablish a local civil government. The island is about 15 miles long and eight miles in width. There is good har- bor on one side, where large ships can anchor with safety.
 l A large canning factory has been es- tablished on Juan Fernandez and the fishing industries are attracting the attention of capitalists. There are quantities of Holsters, crabs, and excel lent food fishes in the waters. The lob sters are large, of excellent flavor, and especially suited for canning. They are easily caught, the. supply seems in- exhaustible, and the cost of securing them is nominal. There are also large numbers of fur seals on Fernandez and other islands near by, the taking of which might be profitably included in the lobster and fish business. The laws of Chilli permit the killing of seals from March 1 to November 1. There is a ready market for the seal skins in this port, whence they are shipped to Flu rope.
 There is plenty of fresh water on the island; land can be acquired bysettlers without cost; fruit and vegetables grow wild and are easily cultivated, which makes the cost of living com- paratively low. The company now en- gagged in businessis enlarging it's plant and increasing its output.

 Moving Vans for TransOceanic Use.
 Vans for moving household furni- ture from one city to another are much more common in Germany and other parts of Europe than in the United States. These vans, which are owned by companies with agents in different cities, are loaded with fur niture and other household goods at residences, hauled on trucks to the railroad, and loaded on fiat cars for their destination. Here, they are re- ceived by the company's local agents and are unloaded at the house where the furniture is to go. When possi- ble, the van is reloaded in the same vicinity and sent back to the place of starting. Thus, one may see in Italy Eranna f17rpit1Iv.n lin or Dresden.
 The saving in packing, the avoid ance of extra drayage, and of the danger of breakage have made the system popular, especially in Ger many. The vans in use vary some what in size, many of them being as large as an American box car.
 Recently, efforts have been made to extend the system so as to provide for the shipment of household goods across the ocean. A New York stor- age and van company has established connections in various parts of Flu rope and proposes to send vans abroad when satisfactory arrange ments can be made. If a man living in New York, for example, wishes to remove to city of Germany, he will be furnished with one or more vans, in which his household goods are placed. The van is transferred to the ship, and, on landing at the foreign port, is again transferred to the rail- way fiat car or river boat and carried to it's destination.
 The agent of the New York com pany, who recently made tour of the continent, claims that in a short trial made, the use of the vans has

proved highly satisfactory, both in cost and convenience.
 The vans employed by this com pany are 16 feet long by eight feet wide and about six feet high. They are solidly built of wood, specially se- lected for protection against damp ness, and are covered with thin sheet steel. They are readily conveyed onto and from ships and railway cars by the usual hoisting apparatus
 As new phase of international commerce, the matter will be watched with interest.
 H. W. HARRIS. Improvement of Roads Near Athens.
 The highways now connecting Ath- ems with it's seaport, Piraeus, and with it's bathing places on Phalerum bay are narrow, poorly graded, poor ly turnpiked, and poorly kept, mak- ing transportation between these places by carriage, wagon or wheel quite disagreeable.
 "A new boulevard is now being con- structed, starting at Hadrian's arch on the Boulevard Amelia, Athens, and extending in direct line and grad ually sloping grade to the shore of Phalerum bay, at a point nearly mid- way between Old Phalerum-the bathing place of the old Athenians- on the south shore of the bay, and New Phalerum, the bathing place of the modern Athenians, on the north west shore.
 The boulevard will be about 31% miles in length and 9sh feet in width. It is intended to divide it in- to carriage drive, a bicycle path and promenade for pedestrians, by rows of shade trees. Mrs. Syngros, 8 wealthy Athenian, has furnished the money to construct and finish the boulevard, and the cost is estimated at $58,823.5O. The grading, culverts and bridges are well under way, and it is hoped to have the whole finished by next December.

DRAMA, COMEDY, FABLES,

Great Variety and Much Excellence in Coming
Attractions.

Thomas Jefferson, who has taken
up rip Van Wankle," is said to re-
semble his father, Joseph jefferson,
physically and mentally and in vari-
GUS ways. 1t would be strange indeed
If he did not inherit some of his tai
ent for acting which has been in the
family for six generations before him.
1t is said that he does not initiate his
father and what he does is just as
natural to him as it is natural to his
father. 1t will thus be seen that the
performance of rip Van Winkle''
given by Thomas Jefferson at the
Grand tonight has distinct merit
apart from the unique interest in it
being an affair of family which oc-
cupies a high place in the affection Of
theatre goers.
When 1.-TWO Little Vagrants' is

800 nights in London, and a most
