THE DOUBTFUL ISLANDS. .
French Skipper Finds Them Again
and Files Report.

French Skipper Finds Them Again
and Files Report.
The Doubtful Island Region" is terri
torial designation almost as charming as
the Never-never Land. 1t seems a pure
creation of fancy, without much possi-
bility of its being a place known to tho
cold science Of to-day. Yet this rnysteri-
lous-sounding district has an actual exist
ence in one vast corner Of the mighty
Pacific Ocean. where it has bothered mar
liners for many a year past
The Doubtful Islands" left they lie
anywhere-almOst directly west Of the
Mexican republic and a little southwest
of the building coast of California, saws
the Chicago Evening Post. They were
solemnly charted By the sea rovers
Of 1870. or even earlier. and since then
they have been reported By successive
generations of captains But six formal
scientific expeditions sent out by the Brit
ish and American governments have never
been able to substantiate these reports
or, indeed find any island of any kind.
Yet only last month the Doubtful Isles
are said TO have been found again Capt
Maurice Rose of the French bark Niche
let. on February 8, fled a formal report
with the photographic Office at San Fran
cisco that his vessel while cruising of the
Mexican coast, had passed within fifteen
yards OF a reef over which the sea was
breaking heavily" Capt. Roses obsarva-
tons clearly established the fact that the
unchaFted reef lay within the Doubtful
Island Region
This discovery has renewed the agfta-
ton for a government expedition to chart
these unknown shoals. The Geographic
Magazine urges that this work be done az
once as the traffic Of the region is steadily
increasing. Il is declared that the inter
ests Of commerce and navigation demand
that the mysterious danger be cleared up.
Aside from the undeniable weight of these
contentious, it would seem that the ex-
ploring cruise might be undertaken. IL
only for the romantic side Of IL. Tie
Doubtful Islands could not fail to at
tract the most hard-headed old skipper
in the navy

ting; Elephant Standing.
when a monkey sleeps he picks out
the highest perch he can find" said
Keeper Patterson. of the Forepaugh- Sells
menagerie When the only home Of the
monkey was a forest, he lived always in
deadly fear of the lion, and a live monkey
is the choicest kind of a meal for the
king of beasts. Although the monkey is
a rather wise bog, and knows that in a
zoo the lions are securely Gagged. the fear
of the lion is born in him. and this ac-
counts Tor his finding as high a perch as
he can TO sleep on.
The honess. when free from family
cares, is prone to lie on her back, with
her legs stretched up straight in the air
and paws pendant The lion, when the
excitement of the day is gone, stretches
himself out fatty on his side with paws
turned in and witches and throbs during
its slum5er much like a dog. Gorillas
and chimpanzees sleep with their hands
over their heads. Bears, which have no
fear, sleep IN any position. The same is
true of wolves.
once in a while a seal will sit I'd with
IT'S head bent down on its chest fast
asleep in the water with his ears under,
so, as IS his custom, in his native state,
he can hear the approach of an enemy.
