presidency of General Nord Alc.i,
That aged ruler had held his cU,!
against many less successful attempts
to overturn his authority. but the pres.
ent revolution was too much for his
strength and political sagacity. and he
decided to leave the island while he
could.
Haiti is an island of very respectabl
size, the greatest length being about
400 miles from east to west, the great
est breadth about 1G0 miles and tn,
area something less than 10000 square
miles. In an island of this size there
is abundant space for diversity o!
scenery, particularly as the island is
traverscd by three mountain chains.
and when this fact is borne in mind no
surprise can be felt at the statements
of travellers that Haiti contains some
of the most magnificent landscapes I"
be found anywhere in the Antilles.
Haiti was originally Spanish pos
session and is supposed to have had a
native population of over 3,O00.000.
The Indians were all exterminated by
the Spaniards. and the island was
abandoned, then seized by the buc-
cancers and subsequently ceded to
France, the Spaniards retaining only
a nominal control of the western pOr-
ton. The rebellion led by Touissant
L'Ouverture against French authority
led to independence, which was finally
acknowledged by the French goverl

who bestowed them on members of
his court and found the names in those
of country villages in the interior.
The present population of the repub.

The Haitians are a tall and straight

everything on their heads has given
them an erect and graceful carriage

Why the Kettle Sinas.

Do you know why kettle 'sings"
when the water is boiling?
It's like this. When the water be-
gins to get hot little bubbles form at
the bottom Of the kettle and rise to-
ward the top until they burst.
At first they burst only little way
from the bottom, but as the water
gets hotter and hotter they rise higher
and higher.
At last, when the water is boiling,
they burst right ON the surface-hun-
dreds Of them one right after another
