these is where money is useless This Is Ascen-

This island is the property of the British
Admiralty, and is governed by Captain of
the royal navy. There is no private property
in land; so there are no rents, taxes, etc. The
tlockS and herds are public property. and the
meat killed is issued in rations. So are the
vegetables grown on the farms

is fowls and pigeons Even the wild donkeys
are under Government control They are
listed on the books of the paymaster and are
handed over at stock taking.
The population consists of a few blue
jackets. u company of marines, and some
kroos from Sierra Leone
There a marine can do anything. The

FOR PASTIME

confreres recalled dinner at which Brougham
had been the thirteenth at table Journalists
tumbled over each other to write his obituary,
the bulk OF which did not altogether please
his Lordship, who was slvlv reading them.
The same trick was tried a few years ago
by another English politician, who was travel
ing in Morocco at the time and who thence
cabled to a news agency that he had been
killed. In dav or he Cabled that he was
still alive. and likewise sent order for copies
Of all the papers containing his obituary.
But the champion peruser OF his own obt-
uarv is Chancellor Curl of Hot Springs, Arkan-
sas. He has read presumably post morton
accounts of his lifework and character on
several occasions, and has had the unique
experience of being presented by the under
takcr with a bill for his own funeral expenses
His son received word that he had expired
en- route to town where he was to hold
court. The town had no telephone connec-
ton. and the son ordered the Hot Springs

WHAT 1T WOULD COST.
System of bikes Around North Topeka
for $4,000.

For $4,000 North Topeka could be en-
tirely surrounded by a complete sys-
tenn of bikes.
Such is the declaration OF John Rog-
ers. city engineer. re
1t would pay them to do it irrespec-
tive of what the county may do" said
he. North Topeka should go ahead
and not pay any attention to what
the country outside might do. A system
of bikes with a top wide enough so
boulevard system could be built to en-
tirely surround that part of the city
for $4,000. By using the top as
boulevard the earth would be paced
down and constant use would make the
public acquainted with it's condition SO
that any weak spot could be noticed
Immediately and corrected. Impound-
ing the water of the rivers would be
all right if the impounding is done at
the junction of the Republican and
Smoky with the Kansas but if it is
put back up at the headwaters It IS
not going to do much good. The heavy
rains and the cloudbursts have been
in the locality close to the junction
of the streams. Impounding the water
at that point would cost such a large
sum of money that it would be hard to
persuade the government to make tho
expenditure. No, II North Topeka
were property diked it would be COM
paratively safe from danger
Heavy drays and vehicles will be n.y.
Quired to keep off the brick pavements
north of Gordon street as a protection.
policemen were given instructions OF
this character and in. addition Mayor
Green has issued statement request
ing all vehicles to keep Off the un-
paved streets except in cases of neces-
sity because of the danger which
threatens from quicksand, quagmires
and caved in excavations in streets.
These places will be barricaded as soon
as possible but in the meantime the
unwary might drive into holes and
precipitate an accident. These in
structions apply especially to those who
visit North Topeka out of curiosity.
John Sheahan, city plumbing inspec-
tor, states that considerable inspection
OF the plumbing in North Topeka will
have to be made. sssss = :
