When TON" OBrien, ex-chicagoan
and ex-" "gold-brick" king, died in New
Caledonia he was a very long way
from home. New Caledonia Is in the
tropics. far down in the Pacific. The
nearest land of size is Australia,
which is 800 miles distant. New Cal
edonia is known throughout the world
as a great penal colony. France has
used it for storage purposes OF this
kind since 1864 and especially since
the fall OF the Paris commune, after
which it was made the place Of exile
Of thousands Of Frenchmen who we're
involved in the storms of that time.
Since then this Melanasian land has
become the Jail Of thousands Of others
condemned by the laws Of their coun-
try. The greater part Of the white IN
habitants therefore are interesting,
but not socially select. The island
itself is described by George Grifith,
an English traveller, as a paradise.

In Safety and Danger

The Scientific American recently
called attention to the odd fact that
the man who rides a few score feet
in a New York city elevator runs a
greater risk Of injury than the man
who travels from New York to Chi
cago and back on the fastest trains
No fewer than thirty persons were
killed, and many more hurt, in New
York elevator accidents in the first
nine months Of this year No such
proportion of those who travelled on
the fast passenger trains between the
two cities were even hurt.
Yet the average man buys an acci-
dent insurance ticket whenever he
starts on a railway journey Of any
length, and never thinks Of such pre-
cautions before entering the car that
lifts him to his Office. Whenever a
notable railway accident occurs he
talks for days about the great loss Of
life. But he never thinks of the pro

NEW YoRk Eoop SUPPLY.

Months siege

Enough on Hand to Withstand Four
Months siege.
If the city of New York and the
neighboring district were to be be-
sieged or in some other way entirely
cut off from the outside world. and
therefore deprived of the food supplies
which in normal times come in daily
in large quantities, how long would it
be before the pinch of hunger would be
felt? That is very hard question to
answer. for the reason that there are
such inequalities of purchasing capac-
ity in New York society that some go
hungry in times of greatest prosperity
for lack Of means, while the great ma
iority eat more than is good for them.
Undoubtedly the number of those who
always go hungry would be increased
after two or three days of a siege. and
then day by day this number would in
crease until the public authorities
would feel compelled to take possession
of the food supplies and distribute them
among the people. With the exception
of milk and some other things the sup
ply Of meat, poultry. hardy vegetables
and fruits would last for two months
at the present rate of consumption. If
all the supplies were taken charge OF at
the beginning of a siege-and this
could easily be done-the food within
New York could be made to last for
four months at least. The siege Of Paris
lasted only four months. Before two
months had passed high and low, rich
and poor, had learned what hunger was.
And, as is well known, the French arc
the most thrifty and economical people
in the world. In the arrangement and
disposition Of food the Parisians are
especially distinguished. But the food
supply in New York could be made to
last as long as the Paris siege lasted,
and the people would still be comfort

Somebody had told Deacon Yarrow
that a maiden aunt had died. leaving
the minister a large fortune in real

would have been firmly established,
