LONELY DouGHERTY ISLAND.
No Landing Ever Made There and
Sighted Only Twice in Century.


From Fearsons Weekly
Which Is the loneliest, most desolate and
most inaccessible island on the face of the
globe? Many people would doubtless plump
for one of the Crozets, which were recently
brought into notice owing to the wreck
thereon of the Norwegian exploring ship
Catherine, and the subsequent rescue of the
castaway crew by the Turakina, British
steamer dispatched from Cape Town for
that purpose.
But Hog Island. the westernmost Of the
group and the one whereon the wrecked
men spent most of their time, is by no
means an undesirable place of residence,
Astounding as it does in hares and rabbits,
penguins, albatrosses and sea elephants.
Heard Island, in the same seas, is far
more Isolated as well as more barren; but
-it possesses, as does Hog. shelter hut for
castaways. and it is visited by whalers &C.
casionally. So, too, is South Georgia, but
Il has no shelter hut, and as it is right out
of the track OF shipping, any one unluchy
enough to be cast away thereon would stand
a very poor chance of ever getting Oft alive.
Bouvet Island. in the same seas, Is
visited even more rarely. and on the last
occasion when a ship touched there five
corpses were found frozen on the beach,
grim memento of some unrecorded tragedy
of the sea. Possession Island. in it's turn,
Is still lonelier and more inhospitable than
Bouvet.
But probably the palm in this direction
must be ascribed to Dougherty Island, on
which, so far as is known, no landing has
ever yet been effected. 1t has olly- been
sighted twice in century, and is officially
described in the admiralty sailing directions
as 1.-THE most remote and isolated spot on
EARTH"

l. men.
A veritable mania for memorials in
bronze and stone seems to have taken pos
session of the nation, and in every part of
the country shafts are being unveiled in
honor of those who have wrought for the
countrys good.
Soldiers, naval celebrities, inventors,
statesmen, the list of those who are en-
gagng the labor of scuptors embraces
every class. Within only a few weeks
President Mckinley, Jefferson Davis, two
Confederate generals, Gordon and Stuart,
revolutionary hero, Barry; Gen. Lawton,
who lost his life in the Philippines, and
John A. Roebling, who built the Brooklyn
bridge, have had or will have monuments
erected to carry their fame down to future
generations.
The John B. Gordon statue is located at
Atlanta, Ga, and was unveiled by the
daughters of the famous leader Of the
Georgia forces in the civil war Mrs. Bur-
ton Smith and Mrs. orion Bishop Brown.
The statue cost $4,000, and in large part
the money was collected by popular sub
scription though the legislature of Georgia
made a liberal donation.
It shows the statesman and soldier on
horseback, and is a masterful piece of
work. Gov. Terrell OF Georgia acted as
master of ceremonies when the statue was
first shown to the gaze of thousands, and
in the throng were many veterans who had
fought with Gordon.
The jefferson Davis statue is appropri-
ately enough placed at Richmond. Va.
which in the days when it was the capital
of the Confederacy knew Davis in the
most trying period of his career. Here
Davis is still loved and venerated, and
monument to his youngest son, little Joe"
Davis, was erected by the school children
of the city.
The statue Of Jefferson Davis is by
Valentine, and shows the tall figure of
the Confederate president standing with
one arm outstretched, the other resting on
the open book of history. Miss Julia Full
ton Williams. daughter of John Sharpe
Williams of Mississippi, democratic leader
of the House, acted maid of honor at
the unwilling ceremonies.

Wind Pressure.
From the London Telegraph.

Mr.. Stanton and Mr.. Ba:rstow have made
some experiments at the national physical
laboratory which bring out new and
practically very valuable fact-namely,
that pressure is not the same large sur
faces as on small experimental models. If,
for example. a given wind velocity is
brought to bear on a square foot of sur
face, it Will be IS per cent less per square
foot than if it were directed on 100 squa re
feet of surface. 1t was demonstrated too,
that this relation is constant for fiat forms,
however complicated. A builder or en-
gineer who knows that structure may be
exposed to a wind of eighty miles per hour,
and that the pressure per square foot, as
determined by model, is, say. pounds.

HEARD ABOUT TOWN

Knute Nelson "bean ane guide
faller." The Norske senator is a
genial person to meet. He's just a
plain citizen of the republic. The
senatorship hasn't changed him a
particle so far as his personality goes.
No one would ever take him for a
statesman. Some might think he was
a rustic but no fellow would ever take
him for a fool; if anyone did he'd be
the fool himself. The honorable
gentleman from Alexandria tarried in
Sank Centre between trains few days
ago and The Listener had the pleasure
of twenty minutes conversation with
him. The senator remarked, among
other things, that years ago when the
terminus of the railroad was east of
here, he used to drive to Sank Centre
and stay over night, get up the next
morning and drive t., where the train
started. "At that time" remarked
the senator, 81 used to know every
body in this neck OF the woods. Gov.
Barto, E. P. Barnum, the Simontons
and whole lot of fellows, l knew as
we'll as my own family. Now good
many of these old timers are dead and
I do not get around here very often.
But Sank Centre is fine town." Just
then the senator spied an acquaintance
and greeted him in a right cordial
manner. AS / watched him saw at
once what makes the willy Knute so

A BLOW AT the STATE.


in the suit brought by several
stockholders of railroads to restrain
the state from putting in force the
new rate laws, is a blow at the
rights of the state.
These stockholders brought suit
to enjoin the state and named the
attorney general as defendant.
That official argued that the suits
were in reality against the state as
he is the proper officer to represent
the state, and that be as an individ-
ual cannot be enioined.
After the close of the two days
argument, and without even leaving
the bench, Judge Lochren gave his
decision, which is in substance that
the attorney general comes within
the proceedings brought by these
stockholders. This decision, if up
held by the supreme court, means
that the attorney general must not
proceed to compel the roads to
carry out the provisions of the rate
laws; if he does he is subject to
Imprisonment for contempt.
In other words, if Judge Loeb
ren's ruling is sound, the great
state of Minnesota has no power
whatever to enforce it's laws so far
as the railroads are concerned. 1t
can make rate laws and the roads
are not bound by them. 1t can pass
two-cent rate bills from now till the
crack of doom and the roads. can
charge any price they see fit, even
ten cents a mile, and the state is
powerless to interfere.
Judge Lochren's ruling is along
the lines his rulings have always
been, namely, in favor of the corpo
rate interests. His politics cut no
fgure-he is Democrat-he's
simply tool of the corporations,
as is proven by the history of his
work on the bench. Possibly his
ruling is good law; if so the quicker
the law is changed the better. If
the state cannot enforce it's laws it
better retire from business. If
Judge Lochren is wrong it is high
time for him to retire to private life
and let a just judge wear the
ermine.

of his own to keep him busy with
