in the evening, comes down to us
through the Greys of Wilton, whose

the bishop and canons of st. Pauls

the family named, formed part of
the Hundred Of Ossulstone, and the
whole was included in yet larger prop.
erty. How st. Paul's itself became pos
sessed Of the estate is not clear, but I,
is believed that it was at one time the
personal property of one of the canons
who, it was enacted, might give and
sell their lands without leave.
Gray's Inn has produced fewer great
lawyers than some of the other inns OF
court, but it can outdo its rivals in as
sociation with men who have vitality in
fluenced the life of the nation-Thomas
Cromwell, for instance, who suppressed
the monasteries; Lord Burghley, chief
counselor of Queen Elizabeth and
George None, duke of Albemarle, who
practically restored the monarchy. But
the inns chief glory of course, is with
the Bacons, Nicholas and his far great
er son. Francis, whose mark remains
till this day on the inn gardens.-Lon

CHATHAM ISLAND CURIOSITIES.
Black Cats Live by Thousands in Lava
Crevices-Wild Dogs Exist in Herds.

Los Angeles Times: On Chatham Is
land, in the Galapagos group, jet-black
cats by the thousands live in the GREY
ices of the lava near the coast, wild
dogs exist in droves wild chickens in
flocks, and there are wild horses and
wild asses that have acquired an in.
teresting habit, so we are told, of sit.
ting upon their launches like rabbits.
Most remarkable Of all the animal
life found on the island when Darwin
visited it were the great turtles, some
of them weighing as much as 600
pounds. They We're the only survivors
of an ancient race Of giant turtles that
was conspicuous in the early part or
the tertiary epoch. Unfortunately, only
a few of them are now left, and before
long, it is thought, the race win be
extinct.
1t is reckoned that no fewer than TO-
100000 of these turtles have been taken
from the islands Of the group since
their discovery. Ships crews have
taken them for food; the town dogs
have persstently eaten the young ones,
watching III Nhc ebS9 llhtNueu anu lll'Il
gobbling up the infants, and 4 factory
was at one time established for the pur
pose of making turtle oil 1t is said TO
have turned out 5000 gallons year.
Although the turtles are not yet eH.
terminated, there is a sad falling off
from former days. The specimens now
found are usually mere infants, weigh
ing only ten to twenty pounds. In the
old days it took six to eight men to
lift one turtle. The turtles live to a
great age and are believed to continue
growing as long as they live.

RAIL WAY UNIONS
WANT BIC RAISE
DEMANDS REPRESENT HALF OF
SYSTEMS OPERATING IN.
COME LAST YEAR.

Washington, Feb. l. - Demands for
wage increases pending before the rail
road wage commission are for an ag.
gregate average of forty per cent, it
was disclosed here. The demands rep
resent a total of nearly $500, 600 900
this year, or about half Of the railway
operating income of last year.
A number Of requests for more pay
still are reaching the commission. In
nearly every case the labor union seeks
to represent all members of the partic-
ular trade, whether organized or unor-
ganized, and the wage commission is
said to be prepared 70 accept this prin-
ciple.
Many of the demands are for much
more than forty per cent. They ask in
some cases an increase to place certain
trades on a parity with employees Of
other industries and, in addition, a flat
increase TO provide for higher cost of
living within the last year.
Less than half Of the $500 900 rail
way employees are organized. Within
the last weeks, however. the unorgan-
lied men have met in groups and sent
petition to the railroad administration
or wage commission asking definite in
creases.
With its aid of statisticians, the
American commission expects TO deter
mine certain rates Of increase consid.
cred for various classes of employment
An attempt will be made to make the
wage grants proportional to pay in 9th,
er industries.
The commission was notified today
by number of railway executives that
representatives Of the employers woulc
be named to attend the hearings of the
commission in Washington and to give
any assistance possible in the way Of
amplifying or checking up the state
ments of employees.
