) Where Tom O'Bricn Died 5
qr..l

When tom" O'Brien, 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 900 miles distant. New Cal
edonia is known throughout the world
as great penal colony. France has
used it for storage purposes of this
kind since 1854 and especially since
the fall of the Paris commune, after
which it was made the place of exile
OF thousands of Frenchmen who were
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 Griffith,
an English traveller, as q paradise.
The climate is delightful, the noun
famous scenery most beautiful.
New Caledonia's soil is fertile and
its mountains full of treasures. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Griffith, when nature
made New Caledonia she set herself
to dump down as many ores and min
erals in as small a space as possible
There is hardly mineral known to

In Safety and Danger

The Scientific American recently
called attention to the odd fact that
the man who rides a few score feet
in 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 we're
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 acct
dent insurance ticket whenever he
starts on railway journey of any
length, and never thinks of such pre-
cautions before entering the car that
lifts him to his Office. Whenever
notable railway accident occurs he
talks for days about the great loss of
life. But he never thinks of the pro:

island. A mining expert once went
over from Australia to make survey
for the International Copper com.

He knew as much about mining as
anybody in the southern hemisphere,

Until 1853 New Caledonia was a
sort of no-man's land. Then both
England and France decided to annex
it and orders came to two warships to
proceed thither at once. They started
the same day.. The English captain
had heard of the reefs that surround
the island and he was cautious. The
Frenchman went ahead without re.
gard for the reefs. When the British
captain arrived he saw the tricolor
flying from hill and he was invited
to come in and lunch on French SOIL
