wealth of Australia. 1t is situated
about 1000 miles from Sydney.
A CCORDING to official reports,
Norfolk Island produces more lemon
juice and lemon peel than any place of
corresponding size in the world. 1t is
a cooperative industry, which. during
the last few years, has brought great t
wealth to the people. Only recently one
shipment of 600 cases Of lemon juice
and 900 cases Of lemon peel was made
from Kingstown, the islands only town,
to Sydney. This shipment was valued
at $4,000.
The lemon and all other Industries of
the island are carried on comparatively.
The entire population, SO far as the
seven families are concerned, work to-
gether as one big consolidated family
The lemons which yield this large reve-
nue. grow wild in great profusion all
over the island. The harvesting of the
crop is continuous through all months
Of the year. Men. women and children
take part in the work None of them
receives wages. Their wants are easily
supplied without the expenditure of
money, except for the little amount of
plain clothes that they wear. 1t is an
island with no taxes, no automobiles
and only one picture Snow The CAPT.
talist and laborer are one and the same
person. Every one is on the same foot
ing, socially and financially.
Although Norfolk Island is only $500
acres in extent the richness of the
soil makes its agricultural potentialities
much greater tnan have been SO farede-
veloped 1t has the appearance of a
beautiful park, with clusters of the tow
ering Norfolk pine tree growing here
and there. The land is rolling, and
through the verdant valleys are streams
of clear. ripping water. 1t has been
said that the island is the 'nealthiest
spot on earth" The climate is only
semi-tropical, the temperature being cool
and pleasant and varying but little
throughout the year. 1t is an island
without an insect pest of any kind. 1t
Is thought that the gradual increase of
the population is due to the remarkable
healthfulness of the climate.
It is only at rare intervals that a
steamship or sailing vessel puts in at
Norfolk Island. The waters of the ocean
that beat upon its shore are very rough at
all times, and not infrequenty boats
that have gone there for tho purpose
Of landing and taking on cargoes are
forced to stand by for several days In
the open sea before venturing to 60 into
the little port Tho people are con-
tentsd and happy in their isolation.
Their wants are few and easily supplied.

these. together with various other
products, the seed of which they
brought with them. afforded them an
ample food supply with a small
amount of labor.
This colony consisted of nine Brit
ish mutineers and twelve Tahitian
women. For eighteen years this re-
mote island was not, visited by any
one from the outside world. In 1908
the American whaler Topaz touched
at Pitcairn. At that time only one
of the mutineers remained. The
others had brought about their end
by. excessive drinking of liquor
which they made from the root Of the
tea tree. The survivor was named
John Adams. He was a devoutly re-
ligious man and through the per-
sistent training and education that
he had given the many children of
the mutineers these offspring were
Of high class, both morally and in
tellectually, 1t is stated.
The story Of the Pitcairn colonists
reached England in due time and
aroused intense interest there. Com
modore Bligh and the men who were
cast away in the boat with him had
managed after a terrible ordeal to
reach the Dutch East Indies and from
there proceeded to England, where
they told the story of the mutiny.
A warship was sent to Tahiti in
search for the missing crew and the
Bounty, but no trace of them was
found. 1t was not until ten years
after the visit of the American
whaler to Pitcairn that the British
government sent a special expedition
to the colony with presents for the
island subjects Of the empire. 1t
was about this time that Adams died
and his place as the religious and
moral mentor of the half-caste peo-
pie was taken by man named
Nobbs, who had one day landed upon
the island in a small boat. Whence
he came no one seems to know to
this day, He married one OF the
half-caste maidens and added to the
population Of the colony.
