 Says After Visit.

VALPARAISO, March 3Q-Juau Fernandez. Island, 450 miles west of Valparaiso, widely regarded as the spot around which the story Of Robinson Crusoe was written, is to be turned into q health resort ac- cording to present plans of the Chilean government.
 The island is 13 miles long and four miles wide, Vegetation is abundant Many kinds of fruits thrive there and the sea in inc vicinity swarms with species of codfish and quantities of seals, ac- cording to g recent visitor.
 The actual original of Defoes story of Crusoe was said to have been Alexander Selkirk, one of a crew of buccaneers, who quarreled with his skipper and was marooned at his own request on Juan Fer nandez where he spent four lonely years. The grotto where Selkirk is supposed 10 have lived with his man Friday still is to be seen. A Brit ish warship visited this island in 1868 and members of the crew CT ected tablet in memory of Selkirk.
 Some years ago the Chilean gov ernment attempted to eolonize the island and gave free passage to emigrants, but the scheme was failure and the island now has only 200 inhabitants
