KING, Village Recorder’ ' MYSTERIOUS FALCON ISLAND. | eee Has a Way of Disappeariag and Reappearing at Will. Far away out in the deep, Pacific ocean exists a small strip of land which shows that it has a sweet little will of its own, fer it will not undergo allegiance to any country. Govern- ments often experience considerable trouble in preserving the allegiance of people they have conquered, but as a.rule a pieee of property or real es- tate has been lcoked upon as likely to remain in the same place for a considerable period of time. This lit- tle island, which has received the name of Falcon Island, proves an ex- ception to the rule, however. No soon- er has it been annexed than it disap- pears off the face >of the globe, leav- ing only a dangerous reef to indicate its former whereabouts, and coming up in a few years’ time, when ‘the country that has performed the annex- ation has given up all claim. Our old friend, John Bul!, always on the watch to incfease imperial empire, was the first to encounter it. In 1889 the British corvette Egeria was sent on a cruise among the South Sea Islands, with ofders to seize upon any islands or coral reefs that had hitherto been unclaimed, and to take possession in the name of the queen. Cruising around she noted from afar off a prominent island, towards which she sailed. Tall palm trees were growing on its south- ern extremity, which was a command- ing ‘bluff, rising 150 feet above the sea. Having received the report of this voy- age, the admiralty next year sent out | a transport ship, with orders to make further discoveries and reports. What was the dismay of the captain of the Egeria, who h med to be in com- mand of the tra: ort, on arriving at the place where he had the year be- fore left the island sporting the union jack, to find that it had disappeared from view. Instead of the beautiful island standing out so prominently from the ocean, was a low and dan- gerous coral reef with the sea beat- ing and surging up against it. Two years later France, also ‘seized with the desire of annexing new territory, sent the cruiser Duchaffault to the Pa- eific. Cruising around she found her There, instead of find- en reef, whitened with the foam of the breakers, the vessel’s crew discovered an island the exact shape of the island found by the English corvette in 1889. Scareely two years had passed away when a brig sent out by France to revisit her possessions found her way to Falcon Island. It had ppeared, it being simply a us to navigation, where- ce was sonlged to give up 1E KICKED, Arsple Reason for Net Wishing to Re- move Her Picturesque Mat.

It May Be Traced us Fur Back as the! putea by a Dor She Sxpiedl ‘Nineteenth Centurv, © “*~ A WOMAN DIES OF ‘naihied, ree Mouths Later. It has often been said that “to trace | Miss Jennie E. Glatigny died of rab- the origin of the bicycle we must £0 | ies a: her home at Seventh al back to the beginning of the century;” and as this has not been ¢enied it is probably true. I shail iy ww slow that the bicycle grew from experi- ments in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and that the Celerifere, first invented in 1690. was the earliest form of the “safety” of today. The first at tempts to ride wheels date back as far as the fifteeath century. True, the machines then mede were crude, elumsy, and imperfect; yet they de- serve mention, for they were a dis~ tinct step in the history of the wheel. The first of these was a heavy carriage driven by means of ropes attached to and wound round its axletree. To the other end of the ropes a pole was tied, and this pole was used as a lever in front of the vehicle; and by this means it was slowly drawn forward, Little was done in the century following; yet in the “Memoirs of Henry Fether- stone” it is told that a Jesuit mission- ary named Ricius, who was traveling down the Ganges, having missed a boat that plied at regular intervals between points he was to visit in his journey, made up for lost time by building a smali carriage propelled by levers. Be- cause so few details are told, the truth of the author's acccunt has been doubt- ed or discredited by. many. In one of England’s oléer churches—St. Giles’, at Stoke Poris—is a window of stained glass on which may be seen a cherub astride of a hobby horse, or wooden “wheel.” /.t the sides, in separate pan- els, as if to fix the date of the design; stand two young men attired in puri- tan dress, one playing the violin, the other, with hands in his pockets, smok- | ing a pipe. Is it from this design that the first thought of the hobby horse of other days was taken? Before the Royal Academy of Sciences, in 1693, Ozanam read a paper describing a veln- cle driven by the pedaling of a fort- man, who stood in a box behind, and rested his hands on a bar, level with his chin, attached to the back of an awning above the rider in the con- veyance. This may prove that Fether- Btené’s account was net untrue Oza- nam’s vehicle was followed ky an- other, built on a somewhat similar plany-by an Englishman named Oven- den, about 1761, for a description of the machine then appeared ir, the Uni- versal Magazine, The vehicle was said to be “the best that has hitherto been invented.” The distance covered “with ease” by this rude vehicle is stated to have been six miles an hour; with a “peculiar exertion,” nine or ten miles. The steering was done with a pair of reins,—St.’ Nicholas. MOSQUITOES WHICH KILL BEAR Yukon Insects Force Decr to Flee to the Snow Line. From the Denver Times: Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes attack men and overwhelm them, but they drive the moose, deer and caribou up the mountains to the snow line, where these animals would prefer not to be in berry time. They kill dogs, and even the big brown bear, that is often miscalled a grizzly, has succumbed to them. Bears come down to the river from the hillside in the early fall to get some of the salmon that are often thrown upon the banks when the “run” is heavy. If bruin runs foul of a swarm of mosquitoes and has not his wits about him his day has come. The insects will alight all over him. His fur pro- | tects his body, but his eyes, ears and nose will soon be swollen up and bleed- ing, and unless he gets into a river or a strong wind he will be driven mad and blind, to wander about hopelessly until he starves to death. Although the Alaska summer > is short, two broods of mosquitoes hatch eut each year, and are ready for busi- ness from one to ten seconds after they leave the water. It rains a good deal along the Yukon, ard rain is welcomed, for it ‘drives the mosquitoes to cover. They hide under leaves and branches antil the shower is over; then they come out boiling with rage at the time they have beem forced to spend in idleness, and the nfiner has a harder time than ever after his respite. Mosquitoes and snowflakes are not contemporaries in the states, but in Alaska it is different. Snow does not bother them so much as rain, and an early snow may fall while they are still on the wing. Fog does not choke them, either. They appear to like it. They float about in it as In wumbush, and take the unwary prospector hy sur- prise. Jules Verne.

Her sufferings from Spasms of the throat and larynx just before her death were ierrible, and it was impos- sible to do anything for her relief, says the Savannah (Ga.) News of March 23. Dec. 29 Miss Glatigny took her dog and went out for a walk toward Mr. Kies- ling’s place, a short distance from her home. When near there she saw twu dogs, one of which attacked her dog, and when she took a stick to beat it off the other dog sprang at her and bit her through the right hand, between the thumb and forefinger. Miss Glat- igny went on to Mrs. Kiesling’s, where some turpentine was applied to the wound and after some days it healed - up.” On Jan, 12 it broke out again and Dr..Sténley was called. He pricked the hand and let out a small accumula- tion of pus, after which it healed again and she took no further notice of it until Thursday, March 18, sevw1ty-nine days after the bite, when, about 12 o’clock noon, she began to feel a pain in the hand, which ran up the arm, through the shoulder and down her side, She was very restless Friday night and in the morning and com- plained that the pain kept annoying her. Size was about the same Friday night and Saturday morning about 10 o'clock she sent for Dr. George H. Stone. When Dr. Stone called hé’ found her suffering from this pain, but there were no other symptoms and it ap- peared that she had taken cold. The pain was easily relieved and it did not return. She had one choking spell and on the return of Dr. Stone Sunday morning she complained that she had not slept through the night, though she had suffered no:pain. She then showed Signs of rabies in her inability to swal- low and from then until 2 o'clock in the z»trning, when she died, there was @ consiant succession of spasms when- ever she attempted to drink water. Al- though she wished for water eagerly, and would hold a glass of it in her hand for an hour at a time, while the sight of it did not seem disagreeable to her, yet when she attempted to swal- low it her effort would make the Spasms of the throat still more intense and these kept up continuously to the time of her death, nature being unable to endure longer the severe strains pro- duced. Miss Glatigny was conscious to the time of -er death. She knew thcse about her and would talk when she had long enough relief from the constantly reculring spasms of the threat to do so. Her case was accom- panied by all of the other symptoms of rabies, such as extreme nervous irri- tability. Touching her nese at at- tempting ta blow it would bring on a severe spasm, as would also any draught of air, no matter how slight, On one occusion the suggestive treat- ment was tried and she was finally en- abled to drink a glass of water through the induced Lelief that she could do it. But this could not be kept up and the spasms became more frequent and more severe until death relieved her. Yesterday morning Dr. Stone and Drs. Graham and Brunner held an autopsy for the purpose of making a thorough investigation of the case. There was no doubt in the minds of any of them that it was a true case of rabies. They | took some of the virus and will culti- vate it and try its effect on some an- imal, such as a rabbit, for the purpose of more thoroughly understanding the case. The Germau Emperor and Empress. 1 remembered that when I lived in Berlin, when a child, Sunday was scarcely observed in any way by the Germans. The churches were well nigh empty. You might have im- agined yourself in London upon a bank noliday. But the present cipress is a woman of very firm religious princi- ples and William 11, however change- able he may be in other matters, is a rock where his pious belief is con- cerned. It has veen the dearest wish of both himself und the empress to in- troduce the “English Sunday” to the Ce:mans, and it is wonderful, indeed, how they have. succeeded. The in- crease of belief is remarkuble; the Ber- lin cnurches are now attemled by crowds and the clergymen, tormerly at a discount in society, are feted as if they were the military. Both eraperor and empress always attend divine ser- vice in the morning. The preacher is forbidden, it is true, to speak longer than fifteen minutes and the congrega- tiou is warned against “staring” at their majesties. After church the royal coupie entertain a few intimate friends at lunschecrn and before bed time the empress arts some bible knowledge to her chiidren.—The Woman at Home. Writers of Books. Ip a pretty large experience I have not found the men who write books superior in wit or learning to those who don’t write at all. In regard of mere information, nonwrite’s must oft- en be superior to writers.

To be thoroughly informed about the personality and movements ef every visitor, the goverament at Monaco, Eu- Trope’s gambling principality, supplies the hotel registers, which are examin- ed daily by the police, and any land- lord who allows a guest to remain even for a night in his house without filling up the blanks makes himself liable to @ heavy fine. The blanks include such questions as name, residence, occupa- tion, last halting place, intended dura- tion of stay in Monaco and intended destination. So, when George appear- ed with the black-covered book in his hand I knew what he wanted. Per- haps I should explain that here, as in most European hotels, it is not neces- sary for a guest to go near the office unless he chcoses to. The register is brought to his room; the bills, the meals, if he likes, and the landlord, too, if he is rung for. “All right, George” I. told. him, “don’t bother me with the thing. You register under any name and occupa- tion you think would be suitable. I am not in the least particular. ig He went to the mantel piece with the book and a lead pencil, and his ex- pression showed that he was going through a severe ‘mental struggle. When it was over he brought r the | book to see “wheder dat’ll do, sus.” In his anxiety to make his country- man appear as grand as possible, he had rather turned the tables upon me, for he had registered me as “Hon. G: W. Ingram; residence, Washington; occupation, United States senator; last stopping place, Paris; intended stay in Monaco, two weeks; intended destina- tion, Cairo, Egypt.” Fine as it looked, such false pretenses might lead to awk- ward complications, and it was neces- sary to find some way to back out gracefully. “Has my friend registered yet?” I asked. “No, sah,” said.George. “‘I’se jest goin’ to his room now, sab.” “Very, well, then,” I told him. “You need not trouble him. This descrip- tion you-have written will answer for him very nicely, and I will put my own. name and ‘pedigree’ beneath it,” which I did} and the rosy young Englishman received the greatest honor of his life by being made for the moment an American and a SpOgthE New York Times. SHE FOOLED THE BORROWER. Mendactous Woman's Scheme Making a Small Loan. There isan art in warding off re- quests for small loans which some men Possess, but when it comes to polite, ingenious, not to say scientific, denials and evasions the average woman far surpasses the average man. Usually, too, women manage to dodge the bor- rowers without greatly straining the truth, though the instance which fol- lows is an exception. A Chicago wo- man with a reputation as a borrower turned up at the home of one of her friends the other morning with a much done-over story about a persistent and threatening dressmaker, and the usual request for the loan—“pay it back to- morrow, certain”—of $5. “Why, my dear, certainly,” was the Pleasant response to her carefully re- hearsed little yarn. “You poor thing, you! Just wait till I run upstairs and get my purse.” She ran upstairs. The male head of the house happened to be in the room where she kept her purse. He saw her dig the purse out of ths chiffonier drawer and deliberately remove a wad | of bills from it, leaving about 37 cents in silver and copper in the change re- ceptacle. The man was mean enough to lean over the stair railing when his wife went downstairs to the parlor with her flattened pocketbook in her hand. “Oh, I'm so sorry, Mrs. X.,” he heard her say, “but I really thought I had the money. I find, though, that John, fs usual, has been at my purse—I heard him say something about settling a plumber’s bill last night when I was half asleep—and the mean thing has only left me enough for car fare.
