1.-The Lighthouse of the Medi-
terranean" is on the north
easternmost of the isla nds,
where it rises grandly to
height of 3,083 feet. 1t is one
of the wonders of the world,
something which must be seen,
such as the harbor of Rio, the
Tai Mahal and sunrise in the
Himalayas.
A few weeks ago Stromboli

Island prisons always bring
to mind the penal colonies of
France and Mexico, the one off
the coast of French Guiana
known as Devils Island, the
other in the Pacific called The
Three Marys. There is no ques-
tion about these being places of
punishment.
In seventy years France has
sent sixty thousand convicts to
the terrific heat and the yellow
fever of Devils Island and two
adjoining small dots in the
ocean. Few sights are more hor-
rible than the loading and de-
parture of the old prison ship
La Martiniere from La Rochelle.
The cargo is mostly one of
cutthroatS and incorrigibleS.
An exception was Captain
Alfred Dreyfus, whose trial,
conviction and subsequent exon
Grafton Of a treason charge
made history.
Some of the elements of the
Dreyfus case enter into the
story of Benjamin Ullme, only
recently returned to Paris after
25 years in the penal colony.
Ullme, a young ensign, stole
some military papers to get
funds to satisfy the tastes of an
expensive sweetheart. He de-
manded money from the gov
ernment on the threat of selling
the papers to a foreign power. He
was trapped easily and as easily
condemned to penal servitude
for life.
Reports from France indicate
that Ullme'S reasoning has been
affected by his prison ordeal.
The wonder is that he did not
go stark mad years ago. From
1908 until 1916 he was a "soli-
tary" on "The Black Rock"
talking to no human and seeing
none but his guards.
He saved himself from self
destruction or violent insanity
only by talking to the trees of
the jungle and to the sharks of
the sea.

ing in different worlds-me, in
that mysterious world Of the
writer's; you, in that humdrum
world of those whose names
will never be known. whose acts
will never be recorded.
But you're wrong. We don't
live in two different worlds, you
and I. We live in the same
world-so near that there's
nothing that twists in your
mind that doesn't twist also in
mine-and nothing that turns,
hungrily, in your heart, that
doesn't turn in mine.
And so, though we've never
seen each other, in some mys-
terious way we ARE each other.
And if out of all the things that
words might say I could choose
the one message that would
mean most of all, I'd wish for
just that-to tell you how close
you've grown, how dear you've
been, how grateful am for it
all!
For it's not money that
counts in this world. Nor fame.
Nor seeing strange countries.
Nor doing amazing things.
But it's finding hand when
you thought that you were
reaching into the empty dark
And hearing a voice when you
thought they'd all forgotten
And feeling the tears and
laughter of another life, shar-
ing itself with yours, when you
thought your own life was
done!
That's what you've meant to
me, my dear-during all these
years. Not just someone read

hand through the darkness
and a voice through the silence.

was-if life had to end this

some of the going was sure
tough! But still, it's all right.
And if You can overlook the
mistakes, I'm glad. For rye

Island, and ussolini has
Lipari. To the one has gone
Al Capone, once rated Americas
public enemy No. 1, and to the
other goes Leandre Arpinati,
who only one year ago was rated
II Duce's right-hand man.
The idea of a Federal prison
on an island is the New Deal
which the Roosevelt administra-
ton is handing out to des-
peradoes of the type of Dillinger
and "Machine-G Kelly. At
torney General Cummings con-
ceived the idea of iSolating such
vicious criminals on Alcatraz.
Formerly the Army's military
prison, the soldiers christened it
"The Rock"
Such it is, IL acres of hard
stone, standing alone in San
Francisco Bay a mile and a half
from the mainland. The prison
buildings on Alcatraz are as
modern as its safeguards, with
even the ceiling of the dining
room equipped with gas CYL
inders to be used against the
convictS in the event of an out
break.
The currents are strong in the
surrounding waters, and an ex-
pert swimmer needs an hours
time to negotiate the mile and
a half from the rocky slope to
the mainland.
MuSSolini'S Lipari Islands
are not prisons in the sense that
strong walls make a prison.
They are seven volcanic rocks
off the coast of Sicily, rather
idyllic places with vegetation
and delightful climate. But they
are as isolated as the tiny isles
of the South Seas. having no
connection with the outside
world, save the twice-a-month
visit of the steamer from Mes
sina.

uties and undersecretary of the
interior, joins there about TOO

word, deed or thought, have Of

tates of faScism.
Arpinati is to serve five years
because in various circum-
stances he assumed an attitude
in contrast to directions which
should be followed by whomever
has the honor of belonging to
the Fascist party"
One of the first persons to be
sent to Lipari by Mussolini was
Domizio Torrigiani, grand mas
ter of the MasonS of Italy.
Francisco Nitti, nephew of the
former premier, who joined him
later, made a sensational escape
