Tbs Beauties Of Aa,umn.

A correspondent writing for the Pitts
vile Times makes it very plain that the
seasons are advancing and that autumn,
the twin 3rother Of winter, is closing in
upon us. He says
How bewitchingly calls the autumn
voices; how softly lies the blue or purple
haze upon the denuded harvest fields
The plow boy whistles tune down the
upland glade as he urges his nags acros
the stubble The plump quails, the
partridge and grouse shoots along the
highway ahead of the driver or rises in
buzzing flight and drops down among
the shocks of corn where the red and
yellow pumpkins make one think of the
delicacies mother used to make And
the leaves with their golden tint of pur-
pie and green as they float off on the
breeze carry alike the scent Of autumn's 3
ripening foliage, and the pungent oder
of burning wood reminds us that autumn
is here, and the farmers are jubulant
over the bountiful harvest they have
garnered in.

Every man and team that can be pro-

so intent on utilizing every minute of

A contractor told the CENSOR, today,
that there is not to exceed twenty per

tween Viroqua and Westby very good
proportion of the hard grading is com
pleted The camp stationed on the far
grounds has been moved north 20 some

Everything indicates that the com

of land has been purchased from Mrs

All Viroqua is hoping for the advent
of the road before winter closes in, and
the promoters are doubly anxious to
comply with the desire for completion.

About six O'Clock Friday evening of
last week Willis Ellis of Eastman was
the victim of bold hold up. He cams
to the city Friday afternoon and went
to the bank and drew $4,000 with
which he was to pay for cattle he had
bought and wereto be delivered the fol-
l,wieg day at Lynxville. He left here
abuqt quarter to six for his home and
when near the old poor house two men
stepped out from behind the fence, one
man grabbed the horse and the other
covered Mr.. Ellis with a gun demand
ing his money. After Mr.. Ellis turned
over his money he was pulled out of the
buggy, his horse cut loose from the
buggy and he was made walk ahead Of
the two robbers about half mile mp

Disagreement in Charts.
Another explanation for mistakes
which were formerly made by ships
masters, especially in the East India
archipelago, is the disagreement in
longitude of the Netherland govern
ment charts and those of other ma
tons. This difference, which amount.
ed to five or six minutes, and occa.
sionally more, was rectlfied about
twenty-five years ago, when the Meth
erland government adopted the same
longitude rs the British Admiralty
The rectiflcation was not complete
however, and there are still many du,
plications of shoals and other dangers
on the charts, having been reported
by different navigators using the
charts of their respective nations.

panied with the superhuous supposi-
ton that at is uninhabited" On the
strength of this assertion it was con-
sidered the genuine article, but it was
believed its position was doubtful. Its
longitude was given as 1G7 degrees .05
minute, and this was said to be-a mis-
take. AS it subsequently proved, the
whole island was mistake. The ship

mass of material thus collected for

course, the principal object of atten-

on the Pacific they often cruise long
distances in search of islands or shoals

this way more phantoms have been
explained away than in any other.

ing now to prove It, There were also
several other equally popular and
equally fabulous islands in the Allan
tic, which navigators after the Middle
Ages proved to be existing only in the
lively Imagination of darker time.
One Of these was the island, of the
Irish Saint Brandon. belief In which
was not thoroughly destroyed until the
eighteenth century; another was Bra
ell Island. which did not appear to
have any fixed habitation. 1t seemed
to be perfect derelict, when finally,
about forty years ago, the British Adj
miralty removed 1t from the hydro
graphic charts.
OF all the tabled Atlantic islands
the most curious instance of persist
ent survival is 10 be found in JacQuet
Island which first made its appear
ancc Oil the maps during the Middle
Ages. On the old charts it is shown
Off the Newfoundland coast at about
AZ degrees north and about 40 east.
The ihap reproduced on this page is
from large atlas published by one
of the best map publishers in 1855.
Not only was it charted. but there
was widespread belief in its exist
cnce, owing, no doubt, to the fact that
1t was shown in dcvery large atlas of
the time. III spite of this belief there
was no record of any slip having
seen the lonely island. When the sub
marine cable had been laid between
England and France and in various
parts Of tie Mediterranean cable to
connect both sides Of the Atlantic was
naturally considered.
The stretch, WAS about $1,000 miles,
and there was doubt rs to the prac-
tlcabiiity of the scheme. While the
discussion was going on, in the later
40s, the proposition was put forward
that by making landing on -Jacquet
Island, good deal Of difficulty could
be avoided. ,Jacquet Island then came
In for good deal of prominence, and
that was its undoing A little investi-
cation proved Jacquet Island to be a
myth, and the Atlantic cable was laid
on the bottom of the ocean from one
continent TO the other without the re.
lay intended. Notwithstanding this
terrible fall from power, the mythical
