THREE MINUTE
JOURNEYS

Three hundred and thirty miles
west of the coast of Ecuador lies a
group of islands of volcanic origin
known as the Galapagos. Situated
far out of the beaten track of ocean
traffic they are seldom visited and
are little known. Their chief interest
to the world is due to the giant tor
toise. sole descendant of the dino
saurs of the reptilian age. that are
found among the mountains.
Often growing to a weight of 300
pounds, the Galapagos tortoise has
been known, in one instance, to at
tain 500 pounds weight, a length of
four feet ten inches, and an age of
nearly 400 years. Tortoises 800 years
old are fairly common in the rec
ords, where 100 years is, an infants
age, and a weight of 200 pounds is
hardly worthy of notice.
/ happened to be upon a vessel
some years ago that was forced to
touch at Albermarle Island, one of
the Galapagos group, and there | saw
exceeding care with which the tor
toise, by naturalists and botanical
gardens priced because OF their rar-
ity, is transported from its home
to destination. The leader of the ex-
pedition told me that it had taken
his sixteen men twelve days to get
the Dl0tltcll SpcCihhpnS oOWh AiOiiA
the mountains to the port.
Several of he mountains down
which the men had to bear their an
cient prizes were 400 feet in height,
rough, steep and hazardous to travel.
Each tortoise, lashed to two poles,
one on each side and borne by two
men, was carried down the noun
tain sides much as the occupant of
a sedan chair Is wont to travel. And
in the case of the heavier specimens,
two additional poles were strapped
across their bodies, at right angles
to the first two poles, so that more
men could lend hand in the heavy
work OF transport.
When the tortoises we're placed on
shipboard a man was assigned to
every three of four animals to make
sure that every possible care was
given them in the matter of feeding.
For, although the tortoises live to
such great ages their transporta-
ton across the sea is a delicate mat
ter and many of them have been
lost in travel.

terment of the poor. She gathered
around her six devout young women,
and after training them in the work
she had begun she left them in charge
of the house in Dublin while she and
one companion passed few years in
the novitiate of neighboring convent
in Dublin. Having received the re-
ligious dress, Miss McAuley and her
companion returned to their home in
the poor neighborhood and undertook
the training of the six faithful young
women who had remained in charge.
1t was In 1881, when Catherine was
forty-four, that these eight devout
women formed themselves into the
Order of Mercy. To. the usual three
fold vow of poverty, celebacy and
obedience, they added a fourth
namely, to devote their lives to the
service of the sick and ignorant.
Catherine, the founder of this cele-
brated order, lived but ten years to
see the outcome of her good work.
These ten years she spent in untiring
work Of organizing and establishing
branches of the order. The result
was that within fifty years there were
115 branch houses of the order In vari-
GUS parts of Ireland and sixty in
Great Britain. Since then many
other branches of the Order of Mercy
in all parts of the world carry on the
good work for the sick and ignorant
to which Catherine McAuley devoted
her life and her fortune.

The Colonel Changes the Map.

From the Louisville Courier J ournal.
War has many times changed the
map of Europe. This war of the kali
ser's will surely change it again. 1t
win change it radically. Pan-Ger-
manism is mainly a Prussian idea and
growth. In way Bismarck began 1t.
He coaxed, cozened and compelled
what he called united Germany. But
Bavaria, Saxony and Wuertemberg--
and especially Bavaria-were more or
less reluctant. They WINGED under
the Prussian ascendency. Undoubt-

lin, and again TO become recognized
capitals.
The ideal map which the war of the
kaiser's is to recreatc would show a
commonwealth of Hungary-such as
kossuth contemplated--and reor-
sanization of Poland, fulfilling the
dreams of Sobieski and Kosciusko.
The czar has already promised free
dom to the Poles. This can be accom-
pllshed by the recession of the terri
tory taken from them from time to
time and portioned out between Rus
sla, Austria and Prussia. 1t would
show the kingdoms of Bavaria, Sax
ony and Wuertemberg as they were
before they were brought, unwilhngly,
into an empire too strong for the good
of all. 1t would show the restoration
to Italy of the Italian provinces now
held by Austria. 1t would show the
recovery of Alsace- Lorraine by
France, along with the return OF
Schleswig- Holstein back to Denmark

dirigibles are apparently being sent
into action once more after period
of quietude, and there are already
fears In London lest that city be
made the object OF an aerial attack.
1t would probably be easy for one or
more of the fleet Zeppelins to cross
the channel and the short space be-
tween London and the sea and drop
a number of the big bombs upon the
city and escape. Whether any serious
damage would be inflicted Is ques-
tion. Thus far the Zeppelin bombs
have not caused much injury. At
explosions, while the wreckage
caused was insignificant. At Ostend,
the three bomgs merely dug large
holes In the ground and shook ada
cent buildings. without infiicting in
juries upon persons. Apparently the
destructive power of these aerial
missiles has been overestimated.
The gravest possibility. however,
which the English are now contem-
plating is an attack upon the British
fleet in the North Sea by a squadron
man coast. A bomb which might do
but little damage to city would upon
reaching it's mark put battleship out
of commission, perhaps destroy her.
1t is claimed that great precision of
aim has been attained by the German
dirigibles in practice, though this pre-
clsion has not been demonstrated in
the few instances of bomb-dropping
thus far In the war. Perhaps the
Antwerp and Ostend visitations were
designed not for practical destruction,
but for moral effect, and the relative
lineffectiveness of the explosions may
| not be taken as a criterion of the
work OF these craft against men-of-
war At the same time q warship
offers a very small mark for a bomb
dropped from such a height as a diri-
gible must attain in order to be out
OF gun range. The bare possibility OF
ever, suffices to affect the nerves Of
| the British public. and this latest
demonstration At Ostend is calculated
to make deept impression.

What Its extent, is sure to resus
death. The human machine wa.
signed to stand all sorts of shoo
and even when science is utterly
| able to repair it, 1t often repairs
self.
Cancer, FOR instance, is sometf
beyond the reach of surgery, bun
Is not phenomenal. by any means
/ hear of such cases ending In rec,
cry. The body Is always at wo.
fghting Its enemies, and so soon as
the latter cause any damage the
work of repair is begun.
Exposure to an injury, indeed, al
ways increases the body's ability to
stand that injury. This ability, in
one form, becomes what is known as
immunity-which is utilized to great
advantage in modern medicine. The
man who is forced to live in strong
draughts soon becomes accustomed
to them and after a little while he
takes cold no longer.
This explains IN part the good
health of sailors, woodmen and others
who work and sleep in the open.
Again, the man who makes a habit
of consuming small quantities of poi
sonous drugs or exposing himself to
great heat or cold, or of fasting for
long periods gets used to these things
as the popular phrase is, and is in
5ured by them far less than the aver
age man.
The human body, in fact, is i'm
measurably more sturdy than any
machine ever made by men, even
with steel and iron as its materials.
Storms which shake great steamships
to pieces scarcely injure human be-
ings at all. No one ever heard of a
WIND strong enough to blow off a.
mans head. And even such terrible
agencies as the lightning and earth
quake often fail to make the lords
OF the universe quail. Men have sur
vived lightning strokes which tore
them limb from limb, and 1t is a COM
monplace that during earthquakes the
shocks themselves injure no one. and
It is only the rain of debris that does
the damage.

Safety as . Habit.

gAiety sb ~ NtWDts
From the New York Commercial.
For a nation which prides Itself on
it's peace and the safety of those
who dwell within its borders an an
nual casualty list Of $4,000 killed and
100000 injured is altogether dis
creditable, and there is merit in the
campaign for safety now being
waged on all sides. These figures are
based upon. government reports and
are mostly the result of carelessness
either on the part of the injured per-
son or his neighbor One of the most
striking legends of this safety cam
paign reads; Safety is a habit and
can be worn as easily as reckless
ness" There is deep truth in this.
Recklessness causes a property waste
by fire of $1,000,000000 every four
years. Recklessness causes high
prices in foodstuffs and contraction
of the purse. Recklessness causes
the crowding of street cars, subway
and elevated trains and all the other
indecencies and rudenesses which
make our big cities so nerve-racking,
Safety-by which is meant prudence,
caution, foresight, thrift and consid-
GRAFTON for others--is a fine habit and
one we'll worth cultivating.
