RELIABLE FOLEY'S HONEY
AND TAR COMPOUND.
It is the quality of Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound that makes it such
a reliable medicine. For coughs,
colds, croup, whooping cough bron
chial and la grippe coughs which
"hang on"in the spring and weaken
the system it has no equal. It also
.gives prompt and definite results for
hoarseness, tickling throat, and suffy
wheezy breathing. Mrs. Benj. W.
Seavey, West Mille, Me. says: "Let
me tell you how much I think of Fo
ley's Honey and Tar Compound " a
family cough syrup. It is particu
larly valuable as a small quantity
has the effect desired and it contains
ro opiates. I consider it the best
cough syrup we have ever used." And

proven effective, quickly relieving
tickling throat, and stopping the
cough with no bad effects." In 25c,

That Defy White Men.
HAVE NEVER BEEN EXPLORED.
Their Inhospitabls Shor or Savag
Native Bar the Way to Thote Who
Would Learn Their 8eorete Fata of
Expeditions to Tiburon.
Leaving out of consideration the stilt
unexplored portions of the arctic and
antarctic regions and there are mil
lions of squure miles of them there
are many spots on this little globe of
ours that bave yet to become familiar
with the face of a white moo and to
smile or frown upon the fearless and
btmly pnthflnder(
New Guinea Is one of the few coun
tries that still present untrodden fields
for the explorer, but there are a num
ber of Islands that remain a mystery to
the world ut large and that will proba
bly so retmilu for many years to come.
' One of these isles of mystery Is Ti
buron island, where not so long ago an
sxplorer met bis fate. His name was
Wayne, and be is suld to bave been a
clever mining expert
Wayne went across to Tiburon In
October, and not a trace bas since been
seen of bin), nor is It likely that bis
fate will ever be known.
He was warned of tbe dangers that
were before blm. In spite of offers of
double pay be could not get a soul to
accompany him, so be crossed Hell's
passage alone and, like all others who
bave preceded blm, bas never come
back.
Tlbiirou is no lonely Island in savage
Melanesia. It lies in the gulf of Cali
fornia, separated from tbe Mexican
mainland by only a few miles of salt
water.
Yet it remains one of the world's
black spots. It has never yet been ex
plored by white men. Its only inhab
itants are a tribe of Indians who, arm
ed wltb bows and arrows dipped In
some unknown but deadly poison,
sboot down all who try to land.'
The expedition of 1879 vanished into
the interior and was never seen again,
and tbe same fate befell the party
beaded by Professor Millies in 1904.
There is only one otber island In all
the world which can match Tiburon.
and that is Malaytn in the Solomons.
Match It that Is, in tbe way of sav
agery. And even in Malayta there are
white men on tbe coast Valuable
plantations of cocoanuts and otber
tropical produce bave been planted on
the shores of Malayta, but Inland is a
mountainous country covered with
thick bush and. Inhabited by tierce
tribes of cannibals.
Gold Is believed to exist in tbe In
terior of Malayta. and more than one
expedition bas been organized to search
for tbe precious metal. But tbe busb
men. who steal noiselessly as serpents
through the tropical forest, bnve wiped
out every one of tbe explorers, and
their smoke dried heads decorate the
dark temples u tbe central mountains.
Otber Islands there are which are as
Impregnable as Tiburon and Malayta,
but for different reasons. One sucb is
Tromellu, a lonely spot of lund thirty
miles north of Mauritius. It Is sur
rounded by a terrific rampart of coral,
which is fully 150 yards wide. A mile
out on any side of the Island the sea
Is froni'10.000 to 12.000 feet deep. The
surf, . which always breaks on tbe
rocky fence of this submarine moun
tain top, makes landing practically
Impossible. ,
Yet it was bere that In 1701 a French
.transport was wrecked, and 110 sur
vivors out of over 800 aboard got
ashore alive. Of these, seven, all black
women, were rescued In the year 1770
having by some amazing miracle kept
life In themselves for a space of fif
teen months, wltb no food but shell
fish aud no drink but brackish water.
In the year 1(!07 that famous navi
gator, Henry Hudson, reported tbe ex
istence of a rock Island 300 miles east
of Grecnlnnd. It was named Jan May
en. That Island was never seen again
until the year 18(H). when a party of
English people, among whom was
Lord Dnfferln. caught a glimpse of It
Then it vanished for another fifty
years, to be seen once more in .Inly.
1910, by the tourists aboard tbe yacht
ing liner Oceana.
No one has ever set foot on Jan
Mayen. No one Is ever likely to, for
no navigator would willingly approach
it It is tbe center of the thickest fogs
on tbe surface of this planet, and from
one year's end to another usually re
mains totally Invisible.
Botivet Island, in the antarctic, Is al
most equally Inaccessible. It is the
summit of a dead volcano, which rises
steeply from Immensely deep water,
and It has been slirhted only twice
since Its discovery In 17H0.
Once and once only has man set foot
upon It A boat from the Germun ex
ploring ship Valdlvla landed, but the
people found exploration Impossible
The rooky sides were not only of ap
palling steepness, hut they were liter
ally coated wltb smooth' ice. making
climbing a matter ot impossibility
