TRISTAN D'ACUNHA
Tiny lslet With Small Population "a
Plagued With a Horde of
London Express

Among the host Of British colonies
which go to make up the empire on which
1T Is said 'the sun never SETS there is
one, the t1niest Of the lot, which is rarely
heard OF. It Is the Island Of Tristan
d'Acunha, and IS Inhabited by less than
eighty persons. A book just issued in
London containing further correspond
ence relating to the Island Of Tristan
d'Acunha' gives some information of in
terest about the condition Of this dirninu-
tive colony. In January Tristan d'Acunha
was visited by H.MS. Thrush, and Lieu
tenant Watts-Jones and Surgeon Lobb, OF
that vessel, drew up a report on the is
land, which was forwarded by the Admir-
atty to the Colonial office, to be laid be-
fore the secretary of state. The popula-
ton, says this report, now consists of sew
enty-s1x persons, divided into seventeen
families or households. All but four of
the Inhabitants were born on the island
TWO OF the exceptions being Italians, who
are described as being probably the best
educated persons there. There have been
no marriages In the island for three
years. The Islanders, tho sunburned are
described as being practically white. y
The men are hardy, but not Of fine phy-
slque; the women are decidedly finer
specimens than the men; their features
are regular, pleasing and of Somewhat
Semitic type. The children are clean, fat
healthy and well cared for and surpris
ingly well clad.''
There is no definite sign of mental o,
physical deterioration arising specifically
from the system Of intermarriage The
people generally, say the officers, were
very anxious about the education Of thei,
chtld1en, and the difficulties ATTENDING
this seemed largely responsible for the
views they expressed on the subject O,
leaving the island. Their staple food i.
potatoes, milk, beef, mutton and poultr,
produce, and of these there, is an ample
supply, but for anything beyond the in.
habitants are entirely dependent on pass
ing ships. Rats, which prevent the grow
| ing Of any grain; are the curse Of tn,
island. Fish are plentiful but the island
ers are chiefly a farming community.

LANGUAGE DIFFICULTIES
English and Americans Are Twisted UE
in Speaking the Same
Tonuue,
Philadelphia Ledger.


Americans are sometimes surprised at
the difficulty with which they make them
selves understood In England. They find
it altogether impossible to buy a paper
Of pins or "a spool of cotton; they get
the wrong thing, whether they ask for
calico or muslin or gingham; the bus
driver hasn't the ghost of notion as to
what they mean when they want to "get
off, and until they have learned at least
half as many new forms Of speech as they
would have to do in any other country of
Europe they have no sort of comfort trav-
cling, sightseeing or shopping. It is con-
soling to know that English people en-
counter some difficulties when they visit
us. An Englishman, relating his Ameri
experiences in a British paper the
other day, mentioned the fact that on en-
tering a hotel of this city he asked the
attendant(at the desk, ''Is this the hotel
clerk?" mo" was the reply, 'this is the
Hotel Lafayette.'' He discovered that we
say "clurk,' altho we conform to the old
world usage in sergeant and few sim
liar instances; Earning" for learning
we regard as hopelessly illiterate, just as
we do "fgger'' for figure" Our visitors
had a bad time trying to get time tables
until he reformed his pronunciation of
schedule" He was used to saying
Schedule; in remote districts he had
heard "sedule,'' but "skedule,' never. 1t
is little difficult to determine precisely
what sort Of Americans this particular
Englishman associated with while here,
for he reports that he found 'quinine''
pronounced with two long cps; parent
with a long "a; tribune" with lang
81; vase" rhyming with 'baize'';
route with doubt; and wound with
s'round." The accent given inquiry .
| advertisement" address and "detail''
annoyed him, while "corallary,' '"ec-
zema" and "paresis' were quite unintel-
| ligible without explanation It Is safe tc
| say except in the case Of "corallary,''
| where we have departed from the classic
rule, educated persons, American and
! English, would be at no confusion in these
matters OF course, we have among us
people who put the accent on the last syl-
liable of locate" and the penult of "mu
nicipal''
