 Where Napoleon Lived and Died.
 II goes without saving the place of greatest interest to visitors is Long. wood, the house in which Napoleon lived during his exile and in which he died in lS21. This is called Long. wood Old House. because just before the emperor demise a new and moro pretentious residence known as New House was designed for him and nearly completed. The old House was merely farm building of the Lougwood plantation in the east cen. tral part of the island and until tho arrival of Napoleon was used for some time as the residence of the lieuten. ant governor Of the island After the death of the great exile it fell into ruinous condition and for q time wa.

" AR OUT in the middle of the I South Atlantic ocean. l.2a0 miles from tho coast Of Africa and 500 miles from South America. lies the rocky little island of st. Helena. one of the many outposts Of the British empire Discovered by the Portuguese about 15o2 and settled by the Dutch in 1645. it was taken by the English in IG57 and almost con- tinuously since then has been held by them as q naval station. It's eco homie and commercial importance is almost nil, and it's population is only about 1000. but it's name will live for ever. for to that distant rock one hun dred years ago Napoleon Bonaparte was taken by his eonquerors, there to spend his remaining years in exile under strctest guard
 There for six years the man who had dominated and re-made Europe lived in such state as was afforded by the somewhat meager allowance made him. and there on May !. 1S21. he passed away. During all this time several thousand troops and a fleet Of warships were maintained at St Hel- eRa to prevent the escape of the great Corsiean.
 Once again. many years later. the island was put to similar use by the British. for during the South African war of 1S99-1902 nearly 5000 Boer prisoners. among them General Cron- je. were sent there.
 The island is a crown colony and is administered by governor and a council
 Among Oldest Land on Globe.
 Because of it's isolated position, it's peculiar fauna and it's very remark able insular flora. together with it's geological character. scientists believe St. Helena is amongst the oldest land now existing on the face of the globe. IL is said that out of sixty one native species only two or three are found in any other part of the world
 The natural strength of the island lies in it's compact form and slze to- gether with it's inaccessible coast. formed by an almost uninterrupted belt of rocks which rise perpendieu- larly to a height of 600 to l.200 feet From the sea the lofty hills divided by huge Assures and deep gorges al most without vegetation make the i- land seem grimly barren. but in the

At length Professor Porter essayed an
attempt to move one leg To his sur.

gone by. He now drew up its mate and
stretched II forth again.

Professor Porter deigned to make no

Mr. Philander had not moved from

Professor Porter rolled over upon his

until he resembled a huge tom cat in

TO rise: nor could there have been any
more surprised than he when his efforts
were Immediately crowned with marked
success
He was stnl bursting with rage how
ever, at the cruel injustice OF Professor
Porter's insinuation and was on the point
OF rendering a tart rejoinder when his
eyes fell upon a strange figure standing
few PAGES away, scrutinizins them in
tentlv.
Professor Porter had recovered his
shiny silk hat which he had brushed
carefully upon the sleeve OF hie coat and
replaced upon his head When he saw
Mr.. Phllander pointing to something be-
hind him he turned to behold a giant,
naked but for a loin cloth and a few
metal ornaments, standing motlonless be-
fore him.
Good evening, slrl" said tho professor,
lifting his hat
For reply the giant motloned them to
follow him, and set off UP the beach In
the direction from which they had
recently come

low him." said Mr. Philander
Tut tut, Mr.. Philander," returned the
professor "a short time since you were
advancing most logical argument in SUBJ
stantlation Of your theory that camp lay
directly south OF us. I was skeptlcRl. but
you finally convinced me; so now 1 am
positive that toward the south we must
travel to reach our friends. Therefore
! shall continue south"
But, Professor Porter, this man may
know better than either OF us, lie seems
TO be Indigenous to this part Of the world.
Let us at least follow him for a short
distance"
Tut tut, Mr.. Phllander," repeated the
professor "I am n difficult man to con-
vince, but when once convinced my de-
clsion In unalterable. I shall continue
in the proper direction, II I have to

Further argument was interrupted by

men were not following him, had returned
to their side.
