Building an Island.

One feature of establishing cable
communication between the United
States and it's island possessions that
is seldom encountered in laying sub
marine cables, was the necessity of
making an sland inhabitable
1t was deemed eXpedient to land the
cable on Halfway island, which is
practically in the center of the PII-
cific ocean, This island was little
more than n sand bar, about one mile
in length and about one-third of a
mile at its widest part. There was no
fresh water and not a sign of vege-
tation on the entire island, when the
Postal Telegraph company's ships
made the first landing.
The first step in converting bar
rem island into a tropical oasis, was
to secure fresh water. \ well was
through the coral, there was no trace
of water. Just before the engineers
decided TO abandon the shaft stream
of pure water was struck. 1t has
slight mineral properties and flows
with great power, denoting a practi-
cally ineXhaustible supply.
The island was then resurfaced.
Large ocean steamships were ballast
ed with rich loan in addition to car
goes of portable houses and trees.
shrubbery and countless varieties of
seeds.
1t is expected that within year or
so, the one time barren. Halfway ISL

Trust Control and publicity.

The new department OF commerce
and labor has been very busy for the
past few months, but the principal
business accomplished has been the
appointment of republican patriots to
good fat jobs. The trusts, combines
and corporation have so far not met
with any encouragement from the
new department., and commerce and
labor have not received any encour-
agement, but the chiefs and the large
army of clerks are receiving their sal
aries with great regularity.
All of which is said to be giving
great satisfaction to the administra-
ton. and the demand for patronage
has been so much diminished by the
number of good places that have been
filed, we are prepared to credit this
statement.

Brutality Tortured.

A case came to light that for per-
sistent and unmerciful torture has
perhaps never been equaled. Joe Co

Is years I endured insufferable pain
from rheumatism and nothing reliev-
ed me, though / tried everything

Probably tl,e oldest idea ever for a

fist, or, as the French would say, a
''savant." of International regulations
an explorer ION his own hook" and an
all round man of letters, yet one would
think that some of his ideas must have
originated with the king of Bedlam.
He believed and lectured before learn
ed college societies in support of his
views that the earth consists of from
five to seven hollow concentric spheres
and that at the poles there is a round

opening entirely through each of the
several spheres.
According to this queer theory, these
spheres are placed one inside the other,
like nest of crockery ware, with an
open space of a few hundred miles be-
tween ca Oh Furthermore. he believed
that both the outside and the inside
of each Of these bubblelike spheres are
inhabited, which would give not less
than ten and probably fourteen ''thea-
tiers of action instead of the one hab-
table surface with which we are all
acquainted to a greater or lesser de
gree. symmes lived for many years
