Public attention has recently been d.
rected to Macquarie Island. owing to
the fact that the Mawson antarctic ex-
petition, on it's way south, established
a wireless telegraph station here, SO that
the island is now in daily communication
with Hobart, Tasmania.
It was hoped that this station would be
able to relay messages to wireless sta
ton at Adele Land. the base Of the ex-
petition on the antarctic continent, but
this plan has proved impracticable. 1t is
said that magnetic disturbances. due to
the proximity of the south magnetic pole.
make communication between these two
points impossible. However, the Mac
qusrie Island station has proved OF some
value to shipping in Australian waters by
giving timely notice OF storms coming up
from the south.

tic on the Australian side. II was Wis

party. The island Is about twenty-five
miles long by five broad. and has rug
ged coastline rising sheer out of the Wa
ter to a height of 800 feet in places.
According to a recent consular report
this island has been leased by the Tas-
manian government to Joseph Hatch,
who has established here the lucrative
business of catching penguins for their
oil, probably the most southerly industry
of the world except certain fisheries. 1t
Is said that there are 6O.000O00 penguins
on the island. The oil is obtained by boil
ing the carcasses in digesters capable OF
dealing with 500 birds at a time. Tho
product Is barreled and sold TO binder
Irvine makers in Australia and New Zea-
land.
The chief obstacle to the success OF this
enterprise is the fact that the island has
no harbor. Vessels have to lie about half
a mile off shore, and all material is con-
veyed to and fro on RATS made of casks
Several ships have been wrecked in at-

Had Prepared.

arrest in Lowell for poisoning her uncle

been too severe with her, and that a
young man friend in New York had
written her that If she put them out OF

vent her joining him and being happy.
The police refused to give his name.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jordan were not certain
of the nature of their recent illness or
even that of d year ago until the Off
GERS went TO the house. Mr.. Jordan
then recalled that Wednesday the girl
had told him of her fear of rats and
mice, asking him how he kept them from
the house. He explained the use of the
poison used. but warned her not to touch
1t. Later she pointed out a wreath on
the door of a house across the street and
asked Mr. Jordan whether two wreaths
would be hung If there We're two deaths
in the house.
The girl prepared breakfast the next
morning. She drank no coffee. but Mr..
and Mrs. Jordan drank two cups each.
Mr. Jordan went to his work in q hosiery
mill, and about twenty minutes later his
wife became i'll.
DIR. Tabor had just reached the house
to treat her when Mr.. Jordan came
home and fell writhing on the floor.
