Remote Island In
South Atlantic Will
Have Radio Service

MONTEVIDO, April 5-(Associated
Press Mail)-The British island of
Tristan da Cunha, in the middle of
the South Atlantic, with its 100 odd
souls, mostly descendants of Napol-
cons, st Helena guards, who hardly
hear from civilization more than
once in two years, is at last to have
a missionary and radio communica-
ton.
Fol more than 10 months an Eng
lish clergyman named Rogers and
his wife have been trying to reach
the island from Cape Town and final
ly induced the captain of the Japan
csc steamship Tacoma Maru, which
left Cape Town on March 26 for the
River Plate, to deviate from his re.
gular course and land them at Iris
tan da Cunha.
". Denis Myers, a passenger OH
the Tacoma Maru and a lawyer of
Cape Town, who has just arrived,
here tells of the vessels call at the
island with Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers and
thinks the population is truly in need
of a missionary.
Strange Settlement
"The student of evolution, the
psychologist as well as the mission
airy, would find much to interest him
in this curious, forgotten community"
says Mr.. Myers. "The settlement ORR
ginated, it is said, when a detachment
of soldiers who were guarding Nepo-
leon at st. Helena, to the north, were
despatched to Tristan da Cunha to
forestall the remote possibility that
Napolon might attempt to escape
thither. Two of the soldiers remained
and, importing wives from st. Helena,
laid the foundations of n of the
strangest settlements in the world.
From time to time s~hipwrecked
mariners have added to the inhabi-
tants on the island, who have married
and intermarried till relationship after
a century has become a hopeless

REFUSED TO REMAIN DOWN
Lesson for Those In Danger of Giving
Up, Cleaned From History OF
Harvey Allen.

Down and out at the age of sixty,
yet happy and prosperous a year or
two later-such is the experience de-
yelled bit Of autobiography entitled
Finding YOUTH" recently issued by
the Atlantic Monthly press remarks
Success.
There is something appealingly hui
man about the story, for the failure OF
the central character, Harvey Allen, is
the failure of thousands and his sue
cess, the success that unfortunately too
many overlook. Being unconsciously
backward in his methods, as well as
slightly superannuated, Allen was dis
charged from the printing plant where
he had labored for years, and thereaf-
ter for many days his life consisted
OF aimless wanderings in search or
work, while his spirits were constant
ly dropping and his bank account fell
almost to the zero point. AT last he
was in sheer despair; he was shabby
looking and his self-confidence had van
ished utterly; he was forced to bury
what remained of his pride and apply
for position as janitor. But even
here he was refused, and once again
he roamed the streets with the haras-
sing knowledge that for the sake of
his wife as well as of himself, he must
find work within a day or Two.
Then something FROM within him
en- Cd To r,txr hi ir1f
was as If a subconscious voice was
speaking. he discovered that he had
been bent and old, but that he could
stand straight if he would make the eff
fort, that he could stand straight not
only physically but intellectually and in
his relations with other men. He could
still succeed, could still accomplish
things, If he could free himself from
the grip of the whitening spirit of old
age; the world would still be before
him, opening up boundless new and
glorious horizons, if he could regain
his youthfulness of soul, If he could
have courage, be "venturesome, pro-
gressive, optimistic, creative" Above
all, what he needed was not to be
afraid of adventure, not to be afraid
of living, or daring, Of doing fresh and
untried things.
\ In pursuance of these new ideas,
Allen adopted the expedient of leav-
ing his native New York and of ap-
plying for a position in a small New
Jersey town. He applied smilingly
and with the utmost self-cOnfidence,
feeling that he would get the job
and he did get it. What is more, he
speedily rose until he was virtually at
the head of the new concern; then,
having established himself and his wife
in New Jersey he gained
wide publicity for his ideas concern
Ing youthfulness and success, and ulti
mately accepted an offer to go to Cal
ifornia to become the head of a
'Youthland" colony modelled In ac-
cordance with his theories. Today he

Deadly Snake In London Zoo"

Among the new arrivals at the zoo
the most interesting is species of
snake known as the Tree COBRA" &C
cording to the London Morning Post
It came from East Africa and is re-
lated to the cobras and other we'll
known venomous but harmless-l looking
snakes, and it's bite is as deadly as
that of any of its kindred.
The bones of the upper jaw, which
carries the great fangs, are peculiarly
modified, and In that respect as well
as In having a pair of large fangs in
the lower jaw, which adds to the te-
nacity of its grip, it differs from all
its allies. 1t is an expert climber, and
from its habit of living to a great ex-
tent in trees it is called the tree cobra.
