PEWTER A FAD.
Articles Made Of This Metal Crown,

Pewter is rapidly regaining the b,yb

than silver-plated ware and ranked
second only to solid silver.

pewter Is pleasing to those who value
the aesthetic above the costly, The
ware comes in graceful shapes, includ

pots, hagons. tankards, mugs and COB

decorative and the platters and bread
trays are not without their place in
the general art scheme. Thus far the
pewter relics dug up from the curiosi

to the adornment Of walls and cabi

A remarkable discovery Of hoard

DOUGHERTY ISLAND.
II 10 the Most Remote and Desolate
Spot on Earth.

Which Is the lonelest. most desolate
and most inaccessible island on the
face of the globe? Many people would
doubtless plump for one Of the Crozets,
I'm the south Atlantic ocean. And yet
Hog island, the westernmost of the
group, is by no means an undesirable
place OF residence, abounding as II
does In hares and rabbits, penguins,
albatrosscs and sea elephants.
Herd island. I'm the same seas, Is
far more isolated as well as more bar
rem. but II possesses, as does Hog, a
shelter hut for castaways, and, it Is
visited by whalers occasionally. So,
too, Is South Georgia, but II has no
shelter hut, and as It Is right out OF
the track OF shipping any one unlucky
enough TO be cast away thereon would
stand very poor chance OF ever get
ting off alive.
BouvTr island, in the same seas, Is
visited even more rarely, and on the
last occasion when ship touched
there five corpses were found frozen
on the beach. grim mementos OF some
unrecorded tragedy OF the sea. Pos.
session island, i'm It's turn, Is still
lonelier and more inhospitable than
Bouvet.
But probably the palm In this direc-
tion must be ascribcd to Dougherty
island on which. so far rs is known,
no landing has ever been effected. 1t
has only been sighted twice in cen
tury and Is officially described In the
admiralty sailing directions as "the
most remote and Isolated spot on
earth. ."-Pearson's Weekly.

THE FLYING FOX.
Curious inhabitant Of the Forests In
Eastern Australia


The flying fox is very curious in
habitant OF the forest near Moreton
bay, in east Australia. It lives in
fOcks and moves generally toward the
dusk Of the evening, and the noise pro-
duced by the heavy happing Of the SO
called wings is very singular. The
fockS like quiet places, where there
are large araucarian pine trees, with
an underwood Of scrub and crcepers.
The foxes hang in vast numbers from
horizontal branches of the pine trees.
when there is clear space among
the trees an enormous number OF tho
animals may be seen, ana their noise
can be- heard for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter a short bark,
something like the sound made by
young rocks. often every branch Is
crowded, and the young foxes are seen
either Tapping their wings and holding
on with their hind feet and with their
heads downward or snarling and fight
ing for places.
Suddenly the whole take to flight and
fap their furry. winglike sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
fly with their young holding on to
them.
The creature is not true fox, and
there is n fold Of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and IL enables the
pteropus, as the animal is called, to
float and turn in the air.
