It 18 this Island, ac- cording to dispatches from England, which the British admiralty 1s soriously considering evacuating as a | means of saving the 200,000-odd dollars which it costs British tax- payers annually. “Asconslon fsland {s unique among British* possessions because of the method by which it is governed,” con- tinuos the bulletin by way of ex- planation. “A naval captain under an admiral stationed at Gibraltar controls the rather limited destiny of the six by seven mlle territory, for all the world as his fellow captains control thelr ships. The little garri- 80n and its families. and the servants, who are largely negroes from Liberia —only 200 or 300 inhabitants at most —maite up the ‘crew’ of the good ‘ship’ Ascension. The queer govern- mental arrangement has worked out | most _satisfactorily since the island was first occupled by the British in 1515, and has won the praise of such an observer as Charles Darwin, who atopped for a while on Ascepsion dur- Ing a voyage for scientific study. Companion Island to St. Helena. “Ascenslon {s, broadly speaking, a companion fsle to St. -Helena, 800 miles to the southeast. Both were probably created by the same general volcanic upheaval which pushed & number of pinnacles above the sur- face of the south Atlantic. But As- cension has not been able to boast of belng the place of residence of an exiled monarch, though its occupa- tlon was connected in a way with Napoleon's exile. The island was oc- cupied by the British pavy in 1815 largely for the purpose of more com- pletely guarding the isolation of the distinguished prisoner. It has since been maintained in the double ca- pacity of a supply station for British naval vessels and the mountain site of a sanatorium for sailors and ma- rines sick as a result of duty on the tropical coast of Africa. “The isolation of Ascension is more marked even than that of Robinson Crusoe’s island. It is 1,000 miles from Liberfa, the nearest point in Africa, and 1,400 miles from the eastern tip of South America. Like practically all of the other islands of the south Atlantic, Ascension was discovered by the Portuguese. That was in 1501. It was uninhabited and remained un- occupied until the time of Napoleon's exile. Land of Gigantic Turtles. “There was nothing about Ascen- sion to prove attractive to settlers. All of the lower part of the island was practically without plant life, be- cause of drought. Only the upper part of Green mountain. which reaches a height of more than 2,500 feet, supported a growth of grass and shrubs. It is near the summit of this mountain that a sanatorium has been maintained. A lJimited acreage in the uplands is cultivated to furnish vegetables and fruits for the sanatorlum and for the little hamlet of Georgetown, established on the lee shore near an anchorage. Grasses and shrubs also have been planted on the lower uplands. “No vertebrate life was found on the.island. But in the spring it has always been a land of gigantic tur- tles. © Thousands' of the reptiles, weighing 500 to 800 pounds each, swarm to the beaches at that time and deposit their eggs in the sand. ‘Flocks’ of turtles are kept in ponds and from time to time individuals are made into soup and other delicacies for the garrison.” PASSENGER AND FREIGHT RATES WAY UP IN HOLLAND The Hague Reports Charges Higher Than in Any Other Coun- try in Europe. Spectal Correspondence of The Star and Chicago Daily ‘News Foreign Service. THE HAGUE, Holland, February 25.—Passenger fares and frelght rates in Holland are higher. than those of any other country in Europe. Holland’s postal service has the same dubious distinction.- Dutch _postal rates arc twice as high as the French, four times as high as the English and twenty-five times as Jigh as the Austrian. Before the war a letter from one part of a2 Dutch town to another cost 2 cents, now it costs 10 cents. A post card, “answer pald,” to Germany costs 1234 cents; the same from Ger- many to Holland costs about 2 cents. The answer coupons (to inclose in letters to foreign correspondents), which formerly cost 121; cents, now cost 30 cents. If you send such a slip from Holland to Vienna, the cost represents the present value of 600 Austrian crowns, while a letter from Vienna to Holland costs 25 crowns. So it is much cheaper to buy Austrian bank notes of 50 or 100 crowns and inclose that in one’s correspondence. it an answer from Vienna is required. Letters to foreign countries before and during the war cost 1234 cents (and to Belgium 10 cents), but they now cost 20 cents. It must not be imagined that Hol- land’s post is so much better or quicker than others. A letter posted In The Hague on Saturday for Amsterdaim reaches the correspondent on Monday morning, and the distance is only about forty miles.. 31 GERMAN BRIDES.
