Rivals Scotch Granite.
From the London Express.


Donegal now threatens the supremacy of
Scotland in the matter Of granite. Experts
who have been paying extended visits Of
inspection in the neighborhood of Dungloe,
in West Donegal, report immense forma-
tions Of granite, which for variety of shade,
durability and general beauty are said to
rival the famous products Of Aberdeen and
Peterhead. The sDungloe granite. it is
stated, embraces almost every variety of
color and texture the predominating shade
being red and flesh-colored stones of me-
dunn and coarse grain. OF the familiar gray
granite there is also wonderful variety
comprising stones Of all shades from the
lightest to the darkest tones. Some of the
finger grained rock has light warm tone
from the intermlxed buff-celored felspar
A still more beautiful variety of stone
which is found in Dungloe is the very dark
micaceous granite, closely resembling the
handsome Labrador" with which many
London buildings are pillared. When 1t is
remembered that one firm alone in Ameri-
caca imports f19,006 worth of polished gran
lite yearly from Aberdeen, and that the de-
mand for the highest class stone In all
shades is ever on the increase, there should
be thriving times for West Donegal in the
near future.

The town of ST. Thomas, as it is usually
called, or Charlotte Amalia, which Is It's

pin. The houses are solid. spacious, strong
buildings; the streets are well macadamIzed
and the sidewalks in good repair Stone
cutters are laid along all the streets while
big stone CUTS, as they are called, have
been built to carry to the harbor the noun

and some OF them Of large size, carrying
large and fair stocks This arises from the
fact that during the year a large number
Of ships stop here and the trade in both
provisions and other goods Is extremely
lively.
This Island of st. Thomas Is not a large
one in area and contains only about Il, 600
or 1900 Inhabitants. The soil today Is not
cultivated to any great extent not because
ef any lack OF fertility. as the land here Is
capable Of turning fence post into full

lines on maps representing walking trips in
nearly every country in the world. Some
how or other something has always hap
pened to prevent me taking those trips. A
carriage or railroad train or a street car
has come along, or the prayers and en-
treaties of my wife and family have caused
me to postpone my plans. In the case at
issue there were no carriages, the day was

With misgivings We got aboard the boat

eradicated this idea. Recently strong eff

to go back to the plantations, and some
progress has been made, a number Of small
holdings having been taken up.
This island was one of the places visited
by Columbus, and it was taken. possession
of by the Danish crown in 1866. The Danes
have held it ever since, with the exception
of short interval from 1S07-1S15, when 1t
was captured and held by the English. The
slaves here were emancipated in 1S4S. The
island, along with st. CroiX and ST. John,
is governed by a governor sent over from
Denmark, who is assisted by a colonial
council consisting of four members nom
mated by the crown and eleven elected
members. The franchise is restricted to
property owners or to citizens whose an
nual income exceeds $500. This restricts
the suffrage in the Island of St. Thomas TO
about 200 voters.
