The bark Hesper win leave this port
in few days for Cocos Island, off the
Peruvian coast, where the golden stat
ues of Lima's cathedrals and millions
in gold, silver. and jewels. for which
many have vainly sought, lie buried. In
the only successful expedition in the
past, Capt John Heating obtained ap-
proximately 100000 in jewels and mon
ey. At his death he transferred the
secret to Thomas Hackett, from whom
thu present leader received the chart.
Capt. Fred Hackett in 1897 made his
first trip to find the money, which has
been covered. by a landslide, requiring
| hydraulic work. Since that time he has
been trying to obtain hydraulic appar-
atus, and now that the capital is all
! paid in a second attempt will be made.
The treasure was stolen from the
Peruvian government by the crew of
an English ship, to which it had been
| intrusted in the war with Chile to OBJ
/ tain the protection of the British flag.
The crew hid the treasure on Cocos Is
i land. a Peruvian gunbOat hanged
from its yardarn all but two Of the
men, saving these to get directions to
| the burial place. When the vessel was
taking on supplies at Panama the men
| escaped. One of them fell a prey to
sharks, but the other, Thompson,
reached shore.
On his deathbed Mr.. Thompson gave
the secret to John Heating, who had
befriended him. Capt Heating made
two trips. bringing away as much mon
ey and Jewelry as he could without eX-
citing the suspicion of his crews. Be
fore his death he arranged a trip with
| Capt. Thomas Hackett, who died of
yellow fever while Quitting in Ha-
vana. and his brother, the present lead
er, came into possession of the chart.

A Watcher of the Skies is a new book
by Gustave F. Mertins. published by the
Thomas 7. Croweu company. This up
to-date, cleverly written novel opens
with a scene on lower Sixth avenue,
New York, where two policemen are
gathering up young man whose taxi
cab has just run into q pillar of the
I, road. a hospital ambulance claims
the young man. the policemen claim
his pocketbook and its contents, and
the incident seems closed. In reality it
just begins matters for the hero. As
result of that accident and the blow
on the head received in 1t, he loses his
money, the charming girl who has just
become his wife, and his memory at one
stroke. The train of events as set
down in the quick-movirg opening
chapters is perfectly logical and reason
able. Later, when the hero finds him
self on an estate among the New Jer-
sey hills and comes under the wizard
like hypnotic power of DR. Sebastian
O'Brien, tie watcher of the skies,
who among other wonders can actually
visualize thought. the reader encount-
ers things OF so marvellous a nature

The latest and most startling discoveries
in science and psychology have been
turned to account. The very genuine
love affairs of four young people,-an
American girl of beauty and strong
character, a Bulgarian girl of nigh
birth and of a rich eastern type a
young Mexican who is a Yale graduate,
and the herO,-aTe woven into the plot,
which holds one in a strong grip from
start to finish.
Edwin A Abbey, whose death oc-
CURED last week, began his career as
an illustrator, a distinction even more
closely made by artists then than now.
He made his pictures for the Harper
periodicals at the office, not having the
luxury Of a studio. This was Of course
in his early days, shortly after leaving
the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts.
When he first went abroad, in 1878, he
was commissioned by the Harpers to
make illustrations for Herrick's Po-
eTus. After his contract with them e1-
pired he returned to England to live,
where the background for his work was
at his door. His drawings to illustrate
Stoops to Conquer and especially

are considered by certain art critics
to be the field in which Aobey's great
talent expressed itself even better thar
in color.

already won through to the coast.
Tragic as this journey was, the con-
ditions of famine and death have been
distorted by popular writer's and in the
public mind, and horrible tales of in
humanity, eliminating in cannibalism
on the part of surviving members Of
the party, have been told. Mrs. E P.
Bonner HOughton, a daughter of the
leader of the party, was a child of 4
at the time Of the journey. Ever since
those days she has keenly felt the in
justice Of many accounts of the Don
ner expedition, and after years Of re-
search, Of interviewing surviving mem
bers Of the party, and OF collecting Or
iginal documents. she has written a
dehntive account of the expedition
which is now published by A. c. Nc
Clurg & Co. The Expedition of the
Bonner Party and It's Tragic Fate" is
not only a vindication of the surviving
members of the Bonner party but is a
vividly written story Of heroically horne
hardship, and a contribution Of no
mean Importance to the history of the
west. The appearance of the book ap-
propriately follows the beginning of an
elaborate monument to the Bonner
party on the old trail near Lake Don
ner, to be erected by the Native Sons
and Native Daughters Of the Golden
West.

: held the Holy Land which they con-
quered, and the progressive ideals of
Christian Europe would today be DOM
mated in the land over which the Turk
reigns. In like manner it is largely
! the smallness and sectarianism of or
ganized Christianity which prevents It
from the lands which are its special
heritage.
It is less important recover
/ Christ's sepulchre than it is to impart
Christ's life.
! Turkey contains many missions. The
/ American Board has wrought great
work in Asia Minor and Mesopotamia.
It's missions are today greater in
/ fiuence than the American legation and
consulates for the spread of the west
ern ideals which are so profoundly in
fiuencing the nation. In Syria the
northern Presbyterian church has an
old and powerful mission, including
the Mission Press at Beirut, where the
Scriptures have been translated and
published in Arabic. The American
Friends have a mission near JeruSa-
lem, and there are various small enter
priseS of a missionary character in the
Holy Land that draw their support
from this country. Down in Southern
Arabia and Mesopotamia the Dutch
Reformed Church is splsndidly work
ing for the Arabs. The British Church
Missionary Society, and the Scotch
Presbyterians, have missions in diverse
parts of Turkey, and the after in par
ticular minister to the Jews.
Persia. that poor and backward
land, with such romantic history, and
now in the throes of blind cropping
after the new life which is the heritage
of nations as of individuals, has few
missions. chiefly those of the American
Presbyterian Church. There has been
fruitful work done with individuals,
! but the nation as a whole has been
almost neglected by the Christianity of
the West.
Lovers of Oriental rugs viii be in
terested to note that the names of
many of the famous Persian rugs
which are always place nam eS-are
the names also of the location Of Prot
estant mission stations-as Hamadan
herman ShirOz, Kazein and Ispahan.
! In Persia arose, about half {. century
ago, and in Turkey has developed. a
schism of Islam called Babism, or Be
haism. which has spread to America
and Europe. Its cardinal doctrine is
tolerance and it has done much to
ameliorate the fanaticisrn of Moham-
mechanism.
One of the saddest spectacIes of the
Near East is the plight of the ancient
Christian churches@the Greek Catho-
lie Church, the Armenian Catholic
Church. the Roman Cathf lie Church,
the Syrian Church, tn. Chaldean
Church and the Coptic Church. These
disciples of the Name have held aloft
the cross through long and bitter CEN
turtles, though their knowledge and
love and spirituality have grown dim.
They have endured unmea sured perse-
cutions from the Moslems; no branch
/ of ChristendOm can show more glo-
rious records in this respect than thay.
Yet today their ignorance and supersti-
ton and mutual antipatEies grieve the
heart of every friend of Christ. One
of the great missionary problems of
the twentieth century is how to bring
these ancient churches into alignment
with the present-day Christianity of
Europe and America.
