reached the forbidding shores in torn
and dripping clothes, or NO clothes at
all-sailors saved from shipwreck.
A century ago, England sent troops
there to watch for ships that might
try to rescue Napoleon, who was con-
fined on st. Helena, a thousand miles
away. When the troops were recalled.
William Glass, soldier and his wife
asked to stay. AS years passed and
the toll of wrecked ships grew, Glass,
his family, and the castaways be-
came a British colony. Wives were
imported and an annual mail service
supplied. The mail service was dis
continued, however, when 1t was dis
covered that scarcely a dozen pieces
had been delivered in a year. A tele-
scope and a set of flags are now the
sole means of communication. AT the
cry of sail ho!" boats put to sea
and cross the dangerous waters to
barter vegetables, mutton, and wild
cat skins for flour, seeds, rat poison,
needles, cloth, and candles; and to
hear the news and perhaps get mail.
Rat poison is an important import,
for the island swarms with rodents
from stranded vessels. Wrecks are
common. ,
Actually, none of the colonists need
stay. The. British have repeatedly Of
fered to move them to a friendlier
country Some left, but returned
later bringing families with them to
share the easy going life. So the pop
ulation fluctuates. At present there
are about one hundred men, women,
and children living there. They rep
resent several nationalities; but Eng
lish is the language spoken.
Most of the wives are skinned.
The only woman contributed to the
colony by the sea was an East Indian
stewardess from calcutta.
: Houses in the village of Edinburgh
at the foot of the mountain, are
strongly built to resist storms, and are
furnished with cabin doors wardroom
tables, copper pots, and other salvage.
The refugees have no civil or mill
tary head, no council or court of law.
Each man is his own boss. For sixty
years, Peter Green, a Dutch sailor,
acted unofficially as judge, but when
he! died in 1902 no one succeeded him.
Crimes and disputes are rare. On the
whole island there are probably not
twenty-five dollars in currency. Crops
and goods are equally shared, and
when the population is increased by
wreck, the cost of maintaining the

life; that is, production cost plus a
reasonable profit at the point of pro-
duction, as FOR instance, the cost of
coal at the mine or that OF certain
basic manufactured articles at the fac
tory.
why should not all the govern
ments of the world come together and
establish an international index Of
value for cxchangcable neccssaries of
life in the countries producing them.

tions could do business by the infinite

EDISON AND GOLD.
Great Inventor Has Little Respect fs
Most Precious Metal.

u
Gold makes pretty jewelry and
picture frames and is used effectively
for filling teeth. Otherwise it Is an
almost wholly useless substance. Yet
we hold it as the standard Of all val
ues." ispre
That is Thomas A. Edison's valua-
ton of gold. The famous American in
ventor has never believed in the gold
standard idea In an Interview for the
Mentor Magazine, he told why.
ITO me-" Edison said,s 1.-the, gold
standard system is largely fiction.
Banks have gold reserve Of, say, fifty
per cent OF their note issue. This Is
fifty per cent alleged real reserve and
fifty per cent pure gamble, the banks
taking the. gambling chance that the
note holders VIII not call on them al
at one time. Finally, If things 60
wrong, and the note holders begin Y
demand the fifty per cent gold. the
banks fall back upon the credit OF the
government and the merchants notes
through the Federal rcserve,g
at seems absurd to me that all our
values shouIdL'be based on boxes Of
metal in any treasury It is an alb
surdity, but everyone HIS been educat-
ed to believe that absurdity is conn
mon sense.J ita ~
Before the invention of credit monE
ey there was gold enough to function
perfectly with the small amount OF
business that was transacted Now it
Is otherwise. Just think OF using gold
as standard of value in the highly
organized financial and commercisl
system at present in vogue throughout
the world Under the present system
our government certifies to the amount
of gold in disks and bars of metallic
alloy. Then they are packed into box
es and kept travelling continuously all
over the world-New York to London,
London to Bombay, back to New York,
and so on. The principal quantity we
keep in vaults as an alleged support to
our circulation medium. Other gov
ernments follow the same program.
81 should think that values should
be based. not upon supplies of gold in
treasury vaults-for gold i. a commod-
ity and must fiuctuateAbut upon the
wholesale price of the necessaries of

PEOPLE WITHOUT A BOSS
Little Island in Atlantic Has No Civil

Halfway between Africa and South
America, in the middle Of the Allan
tic Ocean, live people without a
boss writes Rhoda Lee Dodge in the
Mentor Magazine. Their country is
the, Island of Tristan da Cunha,
named after himself by the Portu-
guese explorer that discovered it four
hundred years ago. A volcanic peak,
eight thousand feet high, tops the is
land; at it's base are tall cliffs that
rise like gray tombstones over the
graveyard of ships. Driving down to
the Antarctic, storms sweep ships i'm
potently before them on to the rocks
of Tristan da Cunha and the adjacent
Nightingale and Inaccessible islands.
Most of the islanders were, unwilling
visitors: they had no choice, but
