TRAVELETTE
The Chincha Islands.
BY NIkSAH.

The Chincha Islands are pointed out
to every passenger on the ships which
sail down the coast of Peru. They are
volcanic rocks sticking out of the
water and are famed for the large
quantities of guano which were for
merly deposited on them
Guano is bird manure and is valua-
BILE as fertilizer. These ocean is
| lands were favorite roosting places
for millions of sea birds and gradu-
ally became covered to great depth
with manure.
Twenty-Five years ago this stuff sold
for a hundred dollars ton, and its
sale in the markets OF the world
brought more money into the treasury
of Peru than was ever realized from
the output of any gold mine.
The supply seemed almost inexhausti-
BILE, and for many years hundreds of
ships were employed in transporting 1t
to Europe and the United states. When
the industry was at it's height some
times as many as a hundred sailing
ships would be waiting at the islands
for cargoes.
The work of dispatching them was
extremely SLOW. it being not uncom-
mon for a vessel to wait eight or nine
months to load. Many captain LOST
a good disposition at this waiting
game. Chinese coolies were imported
to do the work of handling the guano.
and many a poor devil. distracted by
his task, deliberately jumped into the
sea to end his bondage

Who Is Responsible for Povertys
FLORIDA.
PASADENA, CAL.



So long as the belief prevailed that
poverty was merely a symptom of in
herent viciousness and thing for
which the pauper was directly and sole
ly responsible, the public took thought
of Adams sin, shrugged its shoulders
and resignedly left the individual to
face his penalty. tempering the rigor
of sins discipline the while with the
mercy of penitentiaries, reformatories,
jails, poorhouses charity. and training
school hospitals. But when one scien-
ttfc investigation after another con-
clusiyely showed that children born in
poverty are peculiarly subject to early
death or to incurable defects of mind
and body, that a large proportion of all
apprehended criminals are boys and
girls whose criminality is directly
traceable to their adverse economic
environment. that large majority OF
the unemployed are idle because there
Is no work for them TO do, then
public opinion began to perceive that
to penalize the poor for their poverty
was to impair the productive power OF
the nation and thus to transfer the
penalty to the nation itself. Poverty
came to be regarded not SO much as an
Indictment Of the individual, but rather
pie we were not making the most in
there was something wrong with the
of both public and private
business.

MONTENEGRO PROL0NCS
WAR AGAINST THE TURK
Country Is Distinguished in History
as Irrepressible Foe of the
Ottoman Empire.
FLORIDA.

Montenegro, upon whose conquest
and subjugation the Austrians are said
to have determined, is distinguished in
history as the constant, irrepressible,
fanatic midget foe of the Turkish em-
plre, begins statement issued by the
National Geographic Society which re-
views the tumultuous history of the
Black mountain people, who. today de-
tying greater powers than the Turk.
are facing the menace of national eX-
tinction and oblivion. The primer con-
tines:
"The Montenegrins as a people were
born of the fierce struggles that pre-
ceded Turkish mastery of the Balkans
In the middle ages Montenegro be-
longed to the Serbian kingdom. Over
the battlefield of Kossovo 13s9) the
Serbian state was swept away The
prince-ruler of Montenegro of royal
Serbian blood, gathered his moutain-
GERS about him, together with the rem
nants of the folk who fled from the
plains, and began the centuries long
deadly drama of the Turkish -Montene-
grin feud, one of the longest, most bit
ter and relentless feuds of history
Wave after wave of Ottoman inva-
sion dashed its force in vain against
the inaccessible Black mountain coun-
tTys ana between tile times OF turkish
EFFORTS at conquest, upon the least or
no proVocation at all, the Montenegrins
sought the Turk in his own country,
carrying death and destruction to the
plains. By 1885 the Montenegrins
found themselves shut fast within their
mountains. Their last secular prince
gave up his office in 1916, leaving the
country under the leadership of it's
bishop.
Russia Furnishes Help.
The porte continued to claim the
land, and after generations OF loss and
endeavor conquered it temporarily in
1714. The Turks had no sooner clam
bered down the mountainsides than
the Montenegrins reasserted their in
dependence. They obtained the support
of Russia, the conditions being an an
nual subsidy from the czar and con-
tinual harassment of the Turks by the
Montenegrins. Both sides have kept
their agreement with steady faith ever
since, for the czar has never been
found wanting in his financial help.
and the Montenegrins have never let an
opportunity go by when they could,
with decency, get into a war with
Turkey. AS examples, they began the
trouble of 1877 and were the first to
declare war in 1912.
"In 1851 the last prince bishop died,
for his successor, Danilo !, dropped his
religious functions and appeared as a
secular prince. Since then the tiny
state dedicated to war has climbed and
its ambitions mostly over
looked or smiled at by the powers. un-
til today it is a full-fedged kingdom, |
with a daughter Of its royal family
upon the Italian throne. The inde- |
pendence of Montenegro was recog-
nized by the great nations at the Ber- |
lin conference in 1878. A close personal |
and political friendship exists between |

One of the boys sighted a bear one
day and thereafter all kept close to
camp. The boys were given talks and
instruction on forestry, fire rules and
laws. The talking machine at the camp
added wonders to the boys pleasure
and there seemed to be much harmony
among them. They even arranged for
base ball game with a nine at Indian

The boys did much to make their mess
