The Galapagos group lies about 600
miles west Of Ecuador, and 1t Is OF no
actual value to that republic. She has
never made but one attempt to col
onize It, and that was a dismal fall
ure. About sixty-five years ago penal
colony Of 200 cOnvicts, all negroes,
was established on one of the Islands,
but In the course of time all Of these
unwilling settlers managed to return
to the mainland. Since then the ISL
ands have been practically deserted,
except Chatham, the property of Senior
Cobos, who has established a planta-
ton there and peopled 1t with Guaya-
gull laborers.
If the Galapagos were inhabited they
would become the stopping place for
all the vessels plying between North
and South American ports. They lie
about ninety miles on either side of the
equator and consist Of eleven good
sized islands and host OF unimport-
ant satellites. They are of unmistak-
able volcanic origin.

Gates that the population is growing
rapidly, due not only to general ces-

life insurance companies indicates that
the average life Of the insured man is
more than forty years, which indicates
that for the whole race 1t must be
much nearer 40 than the former stand
ard Of 33. Largely this is due to the
fact that more babies reach maturity.

sent. the name Of the Presbyterian

dowment Of $4,000 between this and

own overwhelming Answer. That they
can do it is positively certain. For
one I believe that they will do it. Ger
tainly no pains will be spared to give
them the opportunity to do it.
will only add that those who are
behind this movement for az initial
endowment of $4,000 for the college

order to secure its removal from Clin-
