THE ISLAND or GUAM
Some Information About Our Little
Pacific Possession.
Ia "a Report 80 the War Department
Gen. Wheeler Describes It's
PecuIiarltieS and
Resources.

While Old Glory has fioated from the
fagstah OF Guam since 1898 The peo-
pie Of this country have received but
scant Information regarding this little
island possession for the reason that
but little was known. Guam how
ever, is not without interest and this
fact is impressed upon us By a study OF
the report OF Gen, Joseph ". Wheeler,
recently made TO the war department,
in which he gives much interesting in
formation about the island, together
with the first accurate map of il ever
published in this country, the work Of
government surveyors. The map is
reproduced with this article We
will give in a terse way some oil
the information which this report con-
tains:
In a rough way the island may be
said to resemble in form The sole OF a
shoe. It is only % miles long and from
three to ten miles wide. with an area of
about $50 square miles, or seven times
as large as Manhattan Island
II Is the most southern of the chain
of the Iadrone or Marianne islands,
which stretches 490 miles north and
south. All the other islands belong 10
Germany, but they are vely small, and
Guam is the largest and most impor-
tart Of the group. 1t is four days
steaming to the east of the Philippines.
We observe on the map great paul
city of information about the interior
OF the island The reason is that the
jungle which covers II Is so dense that
not even the natives have penetrated
far into il, except in two or three
places where paths extend from coast
to coast
The low mountain called st. Rosa
peak in the north is easily reached,
and a fine view of the northern third
OF the island is obtained from its sum
nit Everybody lives along the coasts,
and most of the population along the
west coast The natives have cleared
away a narrow strip of the jungle Dor
dering the sea for their plantations.
As vessels approach the highland
from the south or west a chain of low
mountains scarcely over 1000 feet
high is seen stretching along the south
west and south coasts some ten or x
m es in the interior Covered with
verdure to the tops, they give a pleas
ing and picturesque aspect TO the is
land BIT none Of the mountains has
been assembled except ST. Rosa Peak.

A DRINK OF WATER.
Why 1t Is Good Plan to Take One
Before Breakfast.


In the morning the stomach contains
a considerable quantity of mucus.
spread over and adherent to its walls.
II food enters at this time the tena-
ciOuS mucus Will interfere to some eX-
tent with the direct contact between
the food and the stomach necessary to
provoke the secretion of gastric juice.
A glass Of water taken before break
fast passes through the stomach into
the small intestines in Il continuous
and uninterrupted flow. 1t partially
distends the stomach; it thins and
washes out most of the tenacious mu-
Gus; it increases the fullness Of the
capillaries Of the stomach directly if
the water is warm and indirectly in a
reactionary way if it is cold. Care
must be taken not to take cold water
when the circulation, either local or
general. is SO feeble as to make re-
action improbable. We should not risk
lit in an advanced age nor in the feeble,
whether old or young. nor should it be
taken in local troubles like gastric
|catarrh. In these cases it is best to
\ give warm or hot water. The addition
6of salt is very beneticial.-London Fam
