Our Islands In the Pacific.

The United States Is In possession OF
a number of scattered small Islands IN
the Pacific, some of them really noth,
ing more than barren rocks or corai
reefs. Over these comparatively worth
less insular possessions the American
flag has been raised from time to time
as a matter of form. Up TO this time
they have been found of no practical
value and for the most part are unln'
habited. In fact, few of them are
capable of producing enough to sus-
tain inhabitants. Among the largest
of these Pacific islands are CHRIST
