for one Of her age, since time has dealt

heart for her friends. Mrs. Pierce
has reached the age Of Is years, and
although not SO active still remains
young in heart, and perhaps none OF

more heartily than she. During the

nice speech in behalf of the guests,
presented both the guests of honor

in South America.
FEW SURVIVE IMPRISONMENT
Punishnents Are Frequent and Of

Penalty Is DEATH

London.-We have heard ugly tales
of Siberia. The Spanish penal settle
ment at Fernando Pc is no health re-
sort, while Italy was obliged to close
up her prison colony at Massowah be-
cause wardens as well as c0nvicts were
dying by the score.
But of all prisons existing today.
there is nothing to match, for horror,
the French convict settlement OF Dew
lis island, writer in London Tit-Bits
asserts.
Devils island lies off the coast Of
French Guiana or Cayenne, the one
colony which France owns in South
America. This settlement is reserved
for the worst cases, and few survive
a term of Imprisonment there.
A prisoner sentenced to Cayenne is
usually given six months solitary con-
finement in a French prison before be-
ing sent away. The term varies &C.
cordfng to the length of time required
to collect a cargo Of unfortunates.
Arrive at DEVILS Island.
For week or two before leaving
the prisoners are given some meat
and wine to prepare them for the or
deal Of the voyage In a convict ship.
The tween decks Of the ship are made
into one long passage with cells on
either side closely barred in front.
Near the boilers are two punishment
cells in which a man can neither lie
nor stand and where the heat Is al
most uncomfortable.

These large rooms are perfectly
bare and paved with stone, and the

Sea Swarms With Man.Eaters.
Devils island was first used as
prison about 10 years ago. At that
time there were no guards. Since
the tepid sea teens with man.eatfng
sharks, the authorities thought it need
less to take other precautions.
Then came the escape Of Henri Cha
banne. one Of the most wonderful in
stances Of prison breaking on record.
Under his directions his companions
built a large raft. They made oars,
a mast and sail; they even construct
ed casks to hold fresh water. &
Seven in all started away. They
left at eight in the evening. and next
morning were out Of sight Of land
and in a rough sea. They were up
to their waists in water, with hordes
of sharks around.
After four days and four nights Of
Understandable horror. they landed on
the coast of Dutch Guiana, but there
was no fresh water. Chabanne and
another plunged. into the forest, and
after five days reached plantation
where the owner received them kindly.
Chabanne asked for assistance to go
back and fetch his friends. This was
granted, but Of the five only three were
alive.
