full woods and pastures. In reality
the gorges are valleys that narrow as
they wind inward toward the central
ridge, which, rising in places to up
wards of 5000 feet, crosses the island
from southeast to southwest, dividing
it distinctly into two parts. On the
slopes of this ridge are the most fer
tile spots, the richest pasture lands.
There are a number of picturesque
peaks that are clothed in a forest of
old-world fiora-tree ferns. dogwood,

EASY TO CARE FOR PALMS

Seeding date palms get their char
acter leaves the second year. The
plant develops slowly. but is easily
cared for, and in time makes a fine
plant.
A three-year-old date palm was.
through an oversight, left out for
week during the most severe weather
last winter and when discovered the
soil in the pot was frozen solid. But
the plant made no complaint and went
right on growing when taken indoors
and thawed out.
Do not let your palms stand in the
hot sunshine, with the sides of the pot
exposed to the suns rays. The soil
will be apt to bake and injure the
roots. Give 1t good light. but it does
not need sunshine.
The pot containing the palm should
be set inside of one several sizes
larger, or in jardiniere, and the
space between the two vessels should
be packed with moss or similar ma
terial. and this may be kept wet.
though water should not stand about
the roots Of the plants.
Some of the moss should be laid on
the surface of the soil about the stem
Of the palm.
One of the fastest growers and most
satisfactory palms is the Kentia Fors-
teriana. 1t has fine, large, curved
leaves Of a rich. dark green, and is
very cheerful about conditions.
Many palms may be Rised from
seed If one has more time than money
but the florists send out handsome
7earling plants for a few cents, and
hey generally do well.

" AR OUT in the middle of the
- South Atlantic ocean, 1900
miles from the coast of Africa
and 1900 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 1902 and settled
by the Dutch in 1645, it was taken by
the English in 1857 and almost con-
unuously since then has been held
by them as naval station. Its eco
nomic, and commercial importance is
almost nil, and it's population is only
about 5,000 but it's name will live for
ever, for to that distant rock one hun
dred years ago Napoleon Bonaparte
was taken by his conquerors, there to
spend his remaining years in exile
under strictest 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 5, 1921, he
passed away. During all this time
several thousand troops and a fleet of
warships were maintained at St. Hell
ena to prevent the escape of the great
Corsican.
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 crown colony and is
administered by a governor and a
council.

the oldest building materials. 1t was
used extensively in the building OF
the pyramids ana ye.y largely in the
construction of the monumental arcni-

The product of gypsum used in the
fair buildings is known as stair and
