grasp. Olive groves and orange or
chards were destroyed ruthlessly to
make room for currant bushes. The
reaction was inevitable and disastrous,
for when the ravageS of the phylloXera
were checked in the vineyards of
France that nation imposed heavy Inn
port taxes on Greek currants in order
to rehabilitate their own Industries. u
became necessary for Greece to eVoIve
some method Of protecting the Fan
tiOts and other currant raisers, but
emergency laws have not proved alto
gether efficacious, so that what with
earthquakes and the Cutting of the
currant markets the lot of the island
has not been a happy one during the
last two decades
"Zante was colonize6 either by the
Aroadian or Archaens in very early
times. 1t remained independent for
many generations, but in the middle of
the fifth century before the Christian
era the Athenian Admiral Tolmides
forced the inhabitants to acknowledge
the supremacy of his city, while'
Sparta's sway was accepted after the
Peloponnesian war. In 357 B. G. the
island was used as base of operations
against Syracuse by Dion, the pupil of
Plato who had been banished from his,
native land, his property confiscated~
and his wife given to another by the
tyrant Dionysius. The expedition was
a success but Dion's career as master
of Syracuse was short lived for he fell
a victim to the assassin Callippus, one
Of his own Athenian followers.
THE Macedonians conquered Zante
in PIT B. Q. and they were followed
by the Romans under whose regimes
the island was a part of the province
of Epirus. Vandals, Normans, Franks
and Turks held the island in turn un-
til 1885 when the Venetians bought
it from the last named conquerers
The long suzerainty of the republic
city is reflected today not only in
the appearance of the people but in
their language, and most of the Fan
"tiots aristocracy boast of their Vene-'
tan descent, while they speak both
the Greek and Italian languages.
I'm 1897 the island became French
possession and shortly afterward was
occupied for a brief season by the
Russians who were followed by the,
British. In 1854 England coded Zante
and the other Ionian islands to the
! modern kingdom of Greece.
"An interesting natural phenome-
non of the island is shallow spring
on the Bay of Kerr where both pitch
and water bubble up. The pitch has
been used by the native in caulking
their boats since the days of Herodo-
tus.
ION the east coast is the capital city
and chief seaport, Zante, occupying
the site of the ancient city of Zacyn-
thos. Its $4,000 people represent third
of the total population of the island.

If any of the gay young Lotharlos

When De Lamatre said he believed

sufficient from an economical stand
point, the fair young things burst
forth with a simultaneous shout Of
protest and incredibly. 'Who would

Washington, D. c., Dec. 28.-Zante,
Ionian Sea, where the revolutionary
movement against the policy of King
Constantine followed close upon the
heels of similar manifestations of dis
content in Crete and Lesbos, is de-
scribed by the National Geographic
society in the following war geography
bulletin:
THE frequency with which Zante
severity accounts in some measure for
the comparative lack of prosperity on
this Ionian island which enjoys a
salubrious climate, is abundantly
watered by springs, still deserves the
appellation Of wooded Zacynthos' ap-
piled to it by the poet Virgil, and
whose central plain is a veritable gar
den spot with It's succession of vine
yards and olive groves
"zante lies eight miles south Of
the island of Cephalonia, and is nine
Peloponnesian coast. It's greatest
length Is twenty-five miles and it has
a maximum breadth Of twelve miles,
The western half of the island con-
sists Of a series of bare limestone
mountains which terminate in pre-
cdp1tous cliffs on the seward side but
which slope gradually down to the
eastward until the luxuriously fertile
central plain Is reached. The eastern
side Of the island also is elevated but
here the hills are clad with vines and
groves of fig, olive and orange. The
olives of Zante are, with the excep-
ton Of those grown on the neighbour
Ing island Of Corfu, the largest in this
part of the world
The chief product of the island
and the principal article of export is
the currant which derives it's name
from it's native city, Corinth.) This
small grape, which grows on dwarf
vine, has played and is still playing an
important role in the economic life
Of Greece. A mania for current Gull
ture swept over Zante and other sec
tons Of the country adapted to the
vines growth during the LIST quarter
OF the 10th century. Farmers seemed
to go mad in their haste to raise this
! crop just as the Dutch went wild over
the cultivation of tulips in a previous
century. This feverish impetus to the
industry came as the result of an in
scot pest which destroyed large part
Of the French grape crop in 1877.
Dried currants were used by French
manufacturers as a substitute in MAX
ing a certain grade Of blending wine.
Prices scared and Greek currant plant
ers saw enormous fortunes within their

There are many pleasant people
Whom one would like to know;
Editors and BARRIERS
And men who shovel snow;
There are laymen, there are draymen,
But the ones [ like to meet
Are the men who pat the horses
When they pass them on the street.
It's jolly, on the avenue,
To bow and raise your hat
To some one so distinguished
That your comrade says, who s

But the man I really honor
When the singing north wind

Is the one who always stops to stroke
Some horses frozen nose.
