dressed banquet of the American
Railway Association which was at

President and his representative
while asserting the right of the gov
eminent to exercise '.supervisorv

roads, had merely advocated the dele

to the American railway managers.
"England tried for 500 years by re

was much enjoyed by all.
Friday, the wind blew a gale, tearing
the boats from their moorings and

has been poor SO far.
There are about 50 people in camp, not
including ten at Neighnor l.. p. Thayer's

loying their surroundings. These are
days TO be long remembered.

some distance from shore in the launcn

was only by strenuous hailing that the
launch, which headed for the nearest
shore, was able to ground before filling.
Those aboard got bad scare, especially
the ladies, Of whom there were several.
The boat finally ran into shallow water
and all waded ashore.

THE PLANTS OF GUAM.

Our island of Guam, though only 20
 miles long and from seven to nine
 miles wide, has now an uncommon
 distinction for little rock in the re-
 mote Pacific. The National Museum
 has just printed a large octave, of
 more than 400 pages 'The Useful
 Plants of the Island of Guam" D. The
 title is not quite adequate for the book includes description of every kind of plant that has been found on
 the island. Only few lines are given
 to many varieties but the descriptive
 catalgue covers PA pages of small type. The minute study given to the flora
 of Guam was almost accidental. w.
 B. Stafford, a botanist and lieutenant
 in our Navy, improved the opportunity given by four years of cruising in the
 Pacific to study the botany and the na- tives of several of the island groups. lit happened that in the year ending in August, 1900, he was Assistant Cover nor of Guam, and this book is the re-
 suit of the elaboration of the notes and observation he. had an opportunity to make. He also had exceptional fa- cilities for studing the archives of Guam, and Mr., Colville, curator of the National Herbariun, says in the pre- Iface that MT. Safford's account in this
The daily morning journal and courier., 1905-06-03

book "of the discovery, early history and exploration of the island, together with it's climate, ethnology and econo- mic conditions, affords the most conn prehensive and authentic picture Of Guam thus far published" ..
 In the light of this book it is easy to see how island after island may have derived it's vegetation from the dispersal of seeds drifting on the ocean currents On the sandy beaches of the east coast of Guam there is always 8 line of drift that is rich, in seeds, fruits of various kinds and driftwood that have come ashore. Many of the seeds are dead, but some of them are fresh and capable of germination. Not all species that have reached the is- land have obtained foothold there. The fruits of plants that grow in mud dy estuaries or in mangrove swamps cannot establish themselves on a clean sandy beach. Many fruits are cast up only to die and nuts of some of the palms, though found in perfect condition, can produce their plants on- ly when they happen to lodge on the banks of streams where the water is brakish.
 Many cocoanuts are brought in the drift, but on the eastern shore, or weather side of the island, where they are washed up, there is not a single grove of them, though they thrive on the lee or western side, where many groves have been planted. But the seed drifts there ready for planting, and this probably accounts for the wide distribution of the cocoa plam through the tropical Pacific. The writer gives examples of scores of seed and fruits that have made long jour- neys from other islands and may be found germinating in Guam under perfectly natural conditions.
 MT. Stafford describes the terrible vio- lenee of the hurricanes that occasion ally visit the island. The first that oc-

 the CIlamorfo language IS the medium |of communication. The women married Spanish, Mexican and Philippine sol- diers, but practically no foreign wo- men have come there, and the children learned the Chamorro language from their mothers. The language has be- come modified by the introduction of many Spanish words and idioms, just as the Hawaiian and Maori languages have been influenced by English.
 Only a year or two ago we heard of the colony of Caroline Islanders that had settled in Guam. The entire col ony has now been sent to the German islands of the group north of Guam where they are under the same gov- ernment as their countrymen in the Caroline Islands. While in Guarno they never intermarried with the Cha- morros, but retained their own langu- tage and customs, lived like savages in. small huts, subsisted on fish, wild yams and fruits, and resisted all att. tempts to Christianize them. The book gives special attention to those plants which have been found to be new to science; but, while 1t claims 1 to be only a report on Guam, this work of great labor will have far wider use- 1 fulness because much of it's informa- ton is applicable throughout tbe ! tropics York Sun.

cured after our occupancy was in May, 1900, when not only were many houses destroyed, but bread fruit, CO., coanuts, coffee and cocao were stripped from the bushes, the rice fields were destroyed, and the plantain and ban ana plants were torn to shreds. The cocoa palms are often stripped of every leaf, and this is perhaps the most ser ious damage. The infiorescence is form ed in the axils of the older leaves, and if these are injured the flower buds shrivel and the tree fails to produce. In the year after this hurricane not an ounce of copra was prepared, and this product of the coceanut is practically the only export of the island.
 It was in November of the same year that a terrific hurricane caused the loss of the United States ship Yosemite while lying at anchor in the harbor of Agana. Many of the ty- phoons that sweep the Philippines have their origin in the neighborhood of the Maranne Islands, of which group Guam is the most southern member, and Dr. Abbe has suggested in a recent report that a station be established on Guam for meteorologi- cal observations, and that the cable be used to send storm warnings to Man fla. This would be of much advan- tage, he thinks, to vessels about to put to sea, giving warning of approaching blows and indicating the kind of weather to- be expected
 MT. Stafford throws some new light upon the native inhabitants, the Cha morros, whose language has heretofore been classed by writers as a Microne- sian dialect. He shows@its utter dis similarity from the Micronesian langu- ages, while at the same time there is much evidence of it's Polynesian rela- tionships. Pure blooded Chamorros are no longer found. The men of the origi- nal stock were nearly all killed by the Spaniards, but in all native families
