Eddystone island.

The smallest inhabited island in the world IS that on which the Eddystone lighthouse stands. At low water it is thirty feet in diameter. At high water the lighthouse. whose diameter at the base Is eight and three-fourths feet, completely covers it. It is inhabited by three persons. It lies nine miles of the Cornish cost and fourteen miles southeast of Plymouth breakwater. Flatholme. an island in the British channel, is only a mile and a half in circumference. but. consisting mostly of rich pasture lands, supports farm house besides the lighthouse. with a revolving light 156 feet above the sea. There are about 100000 islands. large and small. scattered over the oceans. America alone has $500 around its coasts. There are 365 in the bay of Rio Janeiro. 10000 between Madagas- car and India and some I.200 oH the eastern coast of Australia between its mainland and New Guinea.

FORMER DOUGLAS MAN
 HAS DISAPPEARED

DOUGLAS, Oct. 14.-(Special)- Alexander Grant, who resided in
 Douglas for several years prior to four years ago, when he went to
 live in Los Angeles, is reported as
 missing in that city and his friends
 fear that he has committed suicide, according to an article in one of the Los Angeles papers. Grant has many friends in Douglas and through. out Southern Arizona. He was one of the original owners of the Fl Tigre mine, interested in the prop erty with James Suits, Jim Taylor and others, After the sale of that property Grant went to Los Angeles where he was afterwards married. Following is the story about the dis appearance of Grant, is printed in Los Angeles:
 Alexander Grant, a wealthy re- tired mine owner of No. 3629 Nor mandie avenue, has been missing
 since last Monday afternoon. He
 passed the early part of the evening at different places about town and later stopped at the Wellington bar, No. 325 West Third street, where he was last seen about midnight. At that time he was said to have re-
 marked that he never expected to !; construed by some of his friends as
 indicating that he may have com
 mittd suicidde.
 Grant had extensive mining inter. ests in New Mexico. Arizona and old
 Mexico, and was a large holder in a
 number of Mexican oil companies
 One project in which it is said. he
 had sunk large sum of money failed recently, and it was thought that this
 may have caused him to become de
 spondent.
 He has been a resident of Los Angeles for the last five years. Pre-
 yious to that he resided in Arizona
 He was married about three years
 ago.
 The missing man was 59 years old though apparently not over 50. He
 was five feet eight inches in height
 weighed ITS pounds. fiorid complex
 Ion. sandy hair, reddish moustache turning gray When last seen he
 was dressed in a light gray suit
 and wore a light colored fedora hat.

Laughter ts the best of all tonics. Bacilli are humoriess folk and hate the physical constitution that is al ways vibrating win the shocks of fun This k q truism. but serviceabie and likewise worth repeating are the platitudes on laughter as the great aseptic of the soul. It is true there are different kinds of laughter. and some of them need formaldehyde. There is a kind. too. that needs bicar- bonate of soda as an antidote-an- other that calls for lithia tablets. But the right sort of laughter was stolen from the gods by some wiser Prone theus. and nothing can prevail against it.

Arizona?
 Where does it come from and what does it mean?
 How many members of the consti- tutional convention now in session in Phoenix can give the true origin of the name of the new state for which they will make the great charter?
 During a recent visit to Minnesota, City Attorney Prescott of Phoenix was asked by the state historian the foregoing question. Prescott had an idea, but it did not satisfy the Min nesota history sharp. as whose re- quest the Arizona son started an in vestigation which led him through many volumes, and as a result of which he gleaned lot of valuable Information about nearly everything under the sun except the derivation of the name Arizona.
 Of the various sources given none go to fundamentals. and the word Is not given sufficient root to cause if to stand alone and unsupported by any Of them, says the Gazette.
 United States Geological Survey Bulletin No. 197 says: "The word means arid zone, desert. Mowry claims the name is Aztec from Ari- zmua, signifying silver bearing"
 Century Epcyclopeda of Names says: ':Arizona-Said to be corrup' tion of Pima of Papago 'orlison. meaning little creeks
 Sylvester Mowry, in his Arizona and Sonora says: ''The name Ari zona is undoubtedly derived from the Aztec. In the original it is Arizuma, and the change is a corruption into

 On one occasion when he started on a trip down the Mississippi river on a fiA.boat be was advised never to an. swer the questions asked by rivermen on other boats and never to bandy words with them. as he would be sure always to come out second best He followed the advice reIigiously for d time, but one day he thought he saw chance to set the better of a river man who called out:

ORIGIN OF ARIZONA PUZZLES
 THE FOREMOST AUTHORITIES

the present word, which is accepted
 as Spanish. We have no decided in-
 formation as to its meaning, but the
 impression among those who have
 been curious enough to investigate is
 that it signifies silver bearing
 This impression gains strength from
 the fact that the Arizona mountains
 are very rich in silver, and that a tradition of a silver mine called La
 Arizona, of incredible richness. still exists among the Mexican people
 near the frontier of the territory"
 Bancroft, in his History of the Pa cific States" says: -Arizona-Prob-
 ably Arizonac in its original form,
 was the name given by the natives [, a locality on the modern frontier of Sonora, and was known just before the middle of the eighteenth century as the name of the mining camp O. district where the famous bolas de plata were found. It is still applied to mountain range in that vicinity. It will be seen by the foregoing references that there is a wide di vergence of opinion even among the authorities as to the origin of our name Colonel ]. H. McClintock. an historian of no mean ability himself inclines to the theory that the word Arizona" as applied to this part oi the Southwest originally meant ''arid
 zone" and he points out that the diff
 ference in spelling is of no conse quence, inasmuch as our forebears
 knew little of syntax, grammar ol spelling. as evidence Chaucer. whose system is still the bogie of all high school students.

 Verse 31--Are these words of Je- sus to be taken as a parable. that is figuratively. or literally? Why?
 When will be the day of judgment.
 How long will it probably take to render judgment upon all the people that have eve- Hyed..
 Verses 32-33-where at the present time are all the bad people. and all the good people. that have died since the birth of the human race?
 By what rule, or law. will the. sep aration of the bad from the good be made?
 Will a mans orthodoxy have any weight with the judge in that great day? Why?
 Will & mans heterodoxy, If he has been ruled by the law of love, in any way prejudice the judge at the judg- ment dayf
 Why may we hope that many. who have never heard of Christ among the heather, will be found among the sheep at the judgment? Verse 34-What is the nature of the kingdom which God has prepared for his children?
 The sequence of cause and effect is relentless; for example poison kills. like begets like, sin produces suffer ing. etc. In what sense Is this law the explanation of the statement. "the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world," Verses 35-36-K the Kingdom of heaven is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost" do all those nee. essarily inherit that kingdom who are loving and kind to everybody? Why! Why is it impossible for selfish man to inherit the kingdom of heaven? Verses 37-40-Why does Jesus take an act of Kindness done to a fellow man. as done to himself7 From the standard here given what is the most important work that a church, or an individual, can De en' gagged in, and why? (The question must be answered in writing by mem bers of the c:ub.)
 Should the church have the same zeal, and tie same compact organiza ton, for caring for the poor. comfort ing the sick. and making glad the sad as she has for missionary work' Why or why not?
 Verses 41-45-What does the eypres. sion, everlasting fire" stand for here: Is the punishment of the wicked everlasting. because God would mol be willing 10 forgive in the future state. or because the character Of the wicked is fixed. having no desire for forgiveness, or for both these reasons
 Without any formal sentence, why Is not stingy. hard-hearted, close listed. cruel man, who pays no heed to the pitiful cry of suffering around him. necessarily in an eternal hell? Why does the identification of Jesus with his people really make them one with him?

HIDES HER JEWELS
 IN \ L|MBURGER

NEW YORK. Oct. 14-An odor that was hardly delecate, pervaded the at mosphere of the Fabre Line pier in South Brooklyn yesterday morning The first cabin passengers from the Santa Ana had left, but the baggage of the second cabin passengers had still to be inspected. As trunk afte. trunk was opened the atmosphere still became heavier, and the odor more powerful.
 Customs inspectors, appraisers and expressInen looked at one another in fear, and when some one whisper ed cholera" a rush was made for the waterfront and the open air. But one inspector. braver than the others, re- mained, and as he shouted "CheeseI" the inspectors stopped their flight and came gingerly back to baggage inspection.
 There were thirty trunks still to be examined, and the first one be longed to Mrs. Maria Fontaine, wife of a wine merchant of Lorraine, O. Pinching his nose the inspector raised the lid and found a small round box, labelled cheese"
 Well there's nothing in that, suppose?" queried the inspector There is nothing to be gained by opening that, and if I do there will be panic"
 My diamonds are in here" re piled Mrs. Fontana. T placed them there for safekeeping.
 Guess they're safe enough" nut tered the inspector, but I'm not go ing to search that cheese"
 He called over Acting Deputy Sur veyor Harris and explained thai somewhere in the rich center of that ripe Gorgonzola there was concealed four pairs of diamond earrings ani two brooches.
 A very novel attempt to smuggle,' remarked MT. Harris. The best thing will be for Mrs. Fantana tC cut the cheese and take the jeweiry out herself"
 The passenger scraped of an incl from the top of the cheese and ex tracted her earrings and brooches which she handed to an inspector An appraiser was called over, wht said that the jewelry was of Ameri can manufacture, of but little value and not dutiable. Mrs. Fontana wa. allowed to take her belongings, bu was advised that a cheese was no the most desirable of hiding places.
 There still remained the possibilit, of other things to be 'uncheesed'' fl other trunks. To have cut open ev cry cheese would have been a tediou. and strong task, and it was decide, to accept the word of the passenger and let all the cheese come in.
