NEW YORK, May 12.—Three well dressed bandits entered the West Side jewelry store of J. and L. H.

From there missionaries went out to convert Scotland and northern England to Christianity. Kings were brought to be burled in the soil of the sacred island. The importance of Tona was ended, however, by the Danes, who swept down about the beginning of the ninth century and seized the Hebrides from the Scotch. The islands were not returned to Scotland's _overlordship until 1226, Later the Hebrides agaln had a sort of independence when a line of pow- erful Scotch noblemen set themselves up as ‘Lords of the Isles’ One Hundred Islands Inhabited. “More than 500 islands make up the Hebrides group, but only about 100 are inhabited. When the semi- feudalistic regime was ended in the islands in 1748 many crofters were driven off the estates, the standard of living dropped very low and large numbers of people were barely able 10 keep alive. When, in 1884, famine drew attention to the hard lot of the people on many of the islands a relief commission was formed by the British government and certain re- forms brought about. But even to- day on Lewis-With-Harris, the largest island, many of the people live under most primitive conditions in little stone huts roofed with turf and shared with animals and poultry. “Danish blood is evident in some of the islands and a large propor- tion of the people speak Gaelic. Climatic conditions not only limit the vegetation, but have affected the animals of the islands, stunting them somewhat. There are small breeds of horses, cows and sheep. The variety, -too, is small, especially among the mammals. On St. Kild; outermost of the outher Hebrid. mouse is the only indigenous ma mal.” SHIP BEACHED IN FOG. . Vessel Is Large Cargo Carrier.
