The one distinctly German institu

Artists Mistakes.

detail but one, for on a wall Of the in
terror was small picture Of very up

year the writer saw among the acade

lier, evidently waiting impatiently for
his lady to keep the tryst, consulting
a watch which would have done credit
to a Goth century matchmaker, while
on another canvas Peninsular veter-
an who was fighting his battles over
again for the benefit of admiring rus
tics at the village inn, was wearing an
unmistakable Victoria cross about 20
wears before this badge of valOr came
into existence.
Even Turner made some ludicrous
mistakes, as when he made a rainbow
rub shoulders with the sun.
In his magnificent picture in the
Royal exchange OF sacred Londoners
escaping in boats from horrors of tho
great fire of 1866 StanhCp2 Forbes has
introduced vessels of type which, it
is said, the Thames has never known;
and another artist of repute armed the

ST. l<iLDA'S LONELY ISLE.
The Natives Think Of Emigrating to
South Africa.

The Natives Think Of Emigrating to
South Africa.
1t is not surprising 10 learn that the
inhabitants of st. Kilda propose to
leave their lonely island and emigrate
in body to South Africa. Though st.
Kilda is only forty miles west OF North
Uist, from which island there is daily
communication with the mainland of
Scotland all the year round, it is one
of the most inaccessible islands in tho
world. For regular communication
with it there is a steamer once
month from Glasgow, in June, July.
August and September, and during the
eight remaining months of the year
the inhabitants are wholly cut off from
any communication with the outer
world. They have organized for them
selves a special form of postal COM
munication, by which letters enclosed
in box are drifted by the winds to
the shores of the Outer Hebrides if
the winds are steady from the west;
but contrary currents and changes OF
wind may interfere with the drift Of
the box, and thus, no doubt letters are
lost.
The present population of the island,
about Is, is neither the largest nor the
least in its history. In 1874 the popu-
lation was reduced by smallpox to 80,
only four of whom were adults. Then
there came years Of slow growth, and
IN 1851 the maximum population was
gradually came to the knowledge Of
the islanders the news of the discov-
cry of gold in Australia, and in 1856
thirty-six islanders left for Australia.
TIE departure CT these migrants does
no< seem to have induced others to
fellow them, for no more took their
departure for the gold fields; but in
1864 :he accidental drowning of six
of the inhabitants reduced still fur.
Their the population, which in 1891 num-
bered only seventy-one, and since that
date there has been a small increase.
1t is only within the last fifteen
years that the small amount of steam
communication which exists with the
island has been established, and dur
ing that time several OF the islanders
have made temporary visits to the
south, while visitors from the south
have had an opportunity of studying
the manners and customs resulting
from their isolation from the world. 1t
is, therefore, no wonder that many Of
the islanders, having heard of the ex-
istence of an outside world beyond the
Outer Hebrides, should wish to have
their part in that world, where there
is something to 60 besides catching
fulmar petrels, solan geese and puffins,
which, except the herding of Highland
cattle and sheep, forms the sole &C.
cupation of the inhabitants.
1t is rot probable that all the peo-
pie will leave the island, but if facili-
ties are provided most likely the ma
jority will go, and the island may be
left in it's loneliness, with only rem
nant of the older inhabitants. During
the years between 1874 and 1912 tho
island was made the prison house of
Lady Grange by her angry husband.
and if there were any need for pris-
ON where one could be isolated more
completely than Napoleon was at St.
Helena that prison house could be
found at st. Kilda.-LondCn Daily
