Abandonment of st. Helena.
From the New York Sun.

From the New 1orK Suh
The British government has given orders
that the garrison of st. Helena shall be re-
moved next month. 1t had long ceased to
be of any practical use except for preserv-
ing a tradition and providing salaries for a
number of officials. 1t has no military i'm
portance now. and had very little even in
the days Of sailing vessels. AS the island
has no harbor danger could threaten
any British interest, even If 1t were seized
by hostile fleet.
When steam was unknown and the great
fleets of East Indiamen had to double the
Cape Of Good Hope. when the Suez canal
was undreamt Of, when whaling was a
profitable industry and the South Atlantic
a great fishing ground, st. Helena was
convenient station on the long voyage,
where water and fresh food might be OBJ
tanned. weather permitting 1t could sup
port In comfort a population that was not
in excess Of It's natural resources.
Then came the caging Of the Corsican
ogre. British terror. could find no more re-
mote prison for the man who had escaped
from Elba, and the guard set over Napoleon
was kept up long after the military useless
ness of the station was understood. The
population came to live chiefly on the serv-
ices 1T could render the garrison. and both
depended largely on supplies from without
Now the great 1ndiamen and the Whal-
ers are gone; the route to India has been
changed and steamers only pass by; the
terror Of Napoleon and all his works has
abated-he is merely an exploded "Napo-
leonic legend" now; the garrison and the
mote than ever-too remote even to hope
for tourists and a good many of the 1000
inhabitants would like to get out of the
place.

Radium in the Thaler's Birthplace.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the ran Mail bdZette-
AS the result of searching chemical exam
nation of uranium earth from the Joach-
imsthal in Bohemia the Vienna Imperial
Academy of Science has made some ex-
tremely valuable discoveries in the field of
radium. All the work was done in the
academy's laboratories here. and no less
than 10000 kilograms (some fifty tons) of
earth was subjected to searching tests and
experiments These resulted in the extrac-
ton of radium products worth at the pres
ent market price nearly million kronen,
or more than 10000. The earth was taken
from the state mines in Joachimsthal and
Dr. Hartinger conducted the investigation.
The valuable products thus obtained will
not be sold, but will remain the property
of the Academy and be used for further
scientific research.
In order to control the general methods
of obtaining radium, which Is now found
only in Joachimsthal. the. ministry of agri
culture has decided to build its own labora-
tories there for the production of radium
salts 1t is also proposed to exploit the
healing properties of radium by establish
ing health resort in JoachimsthaI and
using the springs in the mines there for
curative purposes, both in baths and for
drinking.

Turkish Island in Hungary.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
An interesting incident shas just occurred
on the island of Ada-Katch. known by some
as Uj-Orsova. Those at all familiar with
the Danube in this direction cannot fail
to have been fascinated by the oriental
spirit which prevails there. Here. in Hun
garian territory, is Turkish colony for
the inhabitants Of this island In the Danube
are exclusively Turks; they pay no taxes
and are exempt from military service. They
live by the cultivation of tobacco, wine and
roses. as well as by fishing. In 1716 this
island was taken from the Turks by the
Austrians. who. on fortifying it, made 1t
the strongest strategic point on the lower
Danube. twenty-five years later, after
four months seige. it again came under
Turkish rule. remaining so until 1878. when,
according to the terms of the Berlin treaty.
Austro- Hungarian troops took possession.
The inhabitants have never failed to rec
ognize the sovereignty of the sultan, and
justice has always been administered
cording to Turkish laws. The entire spirit
of the place is Mohammedan, the customs
and manner Of living remaining so until
this day. Though this colony has existed
so long it never entered into the fray of
disturbed nationalitieS the Turks asked for
nothing hence their political status has
never been settled.
Now the largest batch on record of emil
grants has left for their native land. 1t
was due to the Intervention OF Omer Lufti
Bey, who appealed to the sultan for aid,
consequently a large sum of money was
sent from Constantinople for emigration
purposes, and sixteen poor families. repre-
seRting eighty persons. left by boat for
GalatZ. where they will be met by the
Turkish consul, who will transport them
still further. They are going to settle down
at Brussa, across the Bosphorus. where the
sultan has placed a large tract of land at
their disposal, and has provided one pair of
from taxation for seven years to each head
of a family.

Communication by Kite.
I'm the Aeronautical Journal.

From the Aeronautical Journal.
The story of some attempts to transmit
communications across the channel by kite
is told by S. X r. Salmon: On April IA,
1906. in an east northeast wind, blowing
about thirty miles hour, l flew da-
d-shaped box kite Crowded with keel
for extra stability. and. attaching the line
Of 400 feet to a drag 80 feet long and weigh
ing II pounds launched the apparatus
from the beach at Brighton.
"A message, inclosed in wooden bottle,
was suspended from the body of the kite
asking for information from the finder but
no tidings have yet come to hand. On May
IA. 1890, in a north by east wind, blowing
about twenty-five miles an hour, l sent off
in the manner described above and from
the same spot a rhomboid box kit. D feet
inches high, with a message a before. This
kite was flown on line only some 200 feet
long, and the drag in this instance weighed
6 pounds and was of the length of GO feet.
THE voyage of this latter kite was en-
tirely successful, as / heard from NJ.
Costly, chief custom house official at Vier-
ville Calvados, that it was sighted rapidly
approaching the French coast in the early
morning OF May d. and that it eventually
landed at 6:15 am, the flying line entan-
Cling itself in some brambles on the cliff.
The distance in straight line from
Brighton to Vierville is lob miles, but no
doubt the apparatus was taken out of its
direct course by the strength of the tide,
as when last seen from Brighton the drag
formed a considerable angle with the kite
line.

The old soldiers of Ohio and the young
ones of the Spanish war, too. who have
heard the public speeches of Gen. Robert

waiting for orders to unleash the dogs of
war on the morrow, so that the fighters
of Lee and those of Grant could engage
in the deadly battle.
The night was a cold one, and the men
of both armies were chilled and hungry.
Suddenly the stiffness was broken by the
lively strains of Dixie" as played by
confederate band. In moment the men
in gray were on their feet, and the fierce
rebel yell sounded through dale and
woodland. When the band had concluded
playing the air that is so dear to the sons
and daughters of the sunny southland
band in blue on the opposite side of the
Rappahannock struck up Yankee Doc
die" and the northern soldiers sent forth
their wild huzzas.
The bands then alternated, the men in
gray playing Maryland" only to be fol-
lowed by the Star Spangled Banner"
from the other side of the stream. The
Bonnie Blue Flag" columbia" and other
northern and southern tunes followed.
until it appeared the repertoire of the
two bands had been exhausted, when a
doubt been carried to his loved ones at
home by the music began to sing Home.
Sweet Home" One soldier and then an
other joined him. and then companies and
regiments caught up the refrain. Finally
from afar across the RappahannOck came
the faint sound of the voice of soldier
in gray singing the song. Then 1t was
of Lees army and arose in great volume
on the wintry night air The combatants
under the magnetism of the words and
music Of John Howard Payne's master
piece. had forgotten for the nOnce about
the carnage of war and that they were to
be deadly enemies on the morrow. At the
conclusion of the song quiet prevailed
and the silvery moon looked down on the
sleeping armies-one in blue, the other in
gray.

Theories Of Handwriting.
om the Providence Journal.


An English woman living in Paris has
just expounded some theories in feminine
chirography. Somehow there Is a common
belief that there Is a difference readily
distingushable between the handwriting
of man and that Of a woman. and this
feminine expert proceeds to tell why. 1t
seems that men write freely and naturally,
flashing their pen strokes over the paper
as they will. and all because Of the free
dom of their dress. For the same reason
a woman's handwriting is more conven-
tional than a mans, more uniform an
less individual, because her dress is more
conventional. In plain language she wears
corsets. and it is asserted by this authority
that when woman is ZEN peignoir," what
ever that Is. but evidently In a corsetless
condition. her writing has an entirely diff
ferent aspect. For the matter Of that con-
tinuing the argument to it's logical conclu-
sion 1t must be admitted that any sort Of
clothing is more or less restricted in its
influence, and that to obtain the greatest
possible freedom and individuality in hand
writing the writer should do the writing
just after complete preparations have been
made for the tub. By all means. the bath
room is the proper place for the wri,lng
desk.

Artificial Industries.
From the London Chronicle.

FTOnl the IIOhUOn CnfOn1cIe-
Once more there is a demand in France
for the invention of some more martial uni
form than the baggy red pantaloons of the
infantry soldier. In his autobiography Sir
Henry Roscoe mentions the fact that the
red color of these breeches was the result
of an official desire artificiallY to foster the
cultivation of the madden plant in France.
But madden has been superseded by coal
tar dyes, the madden industry is in very
bad way and the pantaloons are colored
with artificial dyes from Germany
Another memorial of the ruinous displace-
ments wrought by coal-tar dyes is the cac-
tus, that was SO freely planted in the Ca
nary Islands to support the cochineal insect.
The insect is out of date. but the cactus re-
mains, in place of more profitable crops.
