New York.-F0r nearly eighty years
sea captains have talked of the ex-
istence of "lost" island somewhere
in the south Pacific, lonely paradise
of green palms, cleaning beaches of
powdered coral and blue lag0ons, all
guarded by ring of saw-toothed
reefs over which the tortured sea
boiIs in sheets Of foam.
Passing ships have reported it lying
low in the turquoise sea like an en-
erald, but when the photographers
have tried to locate and chart 1t they
have found nothing but the empty
ocean.
Some persons have regarded it as
q myth, others as one of the strange
phantoms of the sea, while the more
practical ones have declared it to
have been one of the floating islands
not uncommon in tropical waters. A
few believe it to be so low lying in
the sea that it is easy to miss.
1t was tirst-reported in 1859, and
one year later the United States COR
vette Levant dropped out of sight for
ever on her way from Hilo to Pana-
ma. There was some reason to sup
pose that she went to look for the
island, for, while the corvette was in
port at Honolulu in June, 1860, Lieu
tenant Stout, her executive officer, ex-
pressed great interest in the island and
talked with several merchant captains
about its probable location
The Levant was heading southeast
when she left Hilo and sailing a
course which, If continued, would take
her across the equator and into the
latitude of the mysterious island.

LIVE SKUNK IN BAG GIFT FOR HIS GIRL
Swain Intended to Turn It Loose on Sweet.
 heart
Special to the Herald)

Bristol. Oct. 27-A young man, when in doubt as to what to give his lady friend for a birthday gift, should present her with q live skunk. At least one young man in Pennington believes that the ani- nal makes a very appropriate pres ent and the story is told by no less 8 parsonage than Councilman Homer E. Judd, who is also a repre- sentative of the state fish and game commission.
 According to MT. Judd, the com- mission has had considerable trouble lately with illegal trapping on the state game preserve in Scott's Swamp. Yesterday while driving along Pennington avenue near the property, MT. Judd noticed q man trudging along with a burlap bag which he handled with extreme care Thinking that it contained some kind of game illegally trapped, MT.
 Judd stopped his car and asked the
 man if he cared to ride. The an- swer was a positive negative and hia suspicious aroused. the councilman asked what was in the bag. To his surprise the answer came readily. "a skunk and it's alive" The man went on to tell how he had caught it in
 his employers yard and upon fur ther questioning. informed MT. Judd that he was on his way to his girls
 house. where I am going to call her out and set the pesky animal loose"
 The story, although relating to
 game. sounded fishy to the game
 commission representative and he took the man in. keeping the bag
 and it's occupants on the running
 board, and drove to the fellows en- ployer. There the storly was sub. stantiated to the last word and Mir.
 Judd was finally obliged to swal- low the unusual yarn. hook. line and sinker. He relieved the skunk'l captor of it's charge, however. as the law protecting skunks is not lifted until November 1st. The animal was placed in a barrel and is still at the employers home. where 1t will no doubt meet the same fate as all good skunks-after the first of the month.
