UYSTKRlUUa ISLANDS IJttte Dots ti Land In the PKlflt . That aire Hard to Find. : (Unwltii WkoM OwmnM Mm Clalaaeel br r Caa trlea, M Dsatair UMtli ' Much attention hoi bri given of late to! what we ma; call the strange eae of Clipperton island. It Is not more than three miles In circumference, and It Ilea In the western Pacific something Mka 800 miles west of Mexico. In the wide exnanse of the Paclllo ocean It hows like a mere speck, so small as io be of no value, seemingly, safe as refuge for few of lbs army of beach toinbers "wso bare curat an puuuu. est habit and. hare wandered far sway" As the course of their downward proff toes. But the ownership of Clipperton Island hsa of late-been claimed , ly nc fewer than four eonntrles-M eilco, the (tatted States, 'Franca and UreaK Brtti ain; and when. It is added that tha is land it a favorite haunt of sea birds, and that many tons of "valuable guano are waiting to be picked op, the reason for this unwonted solicitude, even in an era of. land-frabbinf, will be ap parent, i ' " '' ' Clipperton island Is of Interest In an other direction; It le one of those nu merous stretches of land set. In the ntdat of the seas, sunny and otherwise, -which, after their first discovery, for many years elude all endeavors to lo cate them again.-- It hae now been, as tt 'were, nailed down in one particular - spot in the ocean that is to any. Its exact position has' been finally deter mined by -warships sent out for the ex press purpose of searching tor tt and settling all doubts as to ita existence and the .only- thing, remaining now ie that the question of ownership should be settled!' It happens that there is another island about 400 miles south west of Clipperton, and-' rich in the same deposits that make that place worth possessing, for which adventur ona miners are at this moment looking. As late aa July laat a vessel named Moonlight left AlUta,- Mexico, on a royage in search of this latest mysteri ous island, and apent'Sl days of fruit less labor toward this end.- Her cap tain failed to find the place, and, fear xg that his provisions and water would run abort, returned home to report that cither the rough charts of old Dept. alartin and hie associates were in er ror or else that some strange seismic phenomenon had caused the lost isle to disappear years ago, perhaps, for all that mortal soul knows. Spice is add td to this romance by the fact that another 'Frisco captain located the place definitely a year or two before, and found a small colony there, which eolnoy is still on the island, shipping guano in their own schooners, manned by numbers of their own party, to tha leading porta on the Pacific slope of North and South America. Quite a number of expeditions have of" late been made with the object of wresting this valuable secret from the handful of men in whose possession it is, and of participating in the spoils: and one of these days we will, no doubt, hear of a sanguinary fight for the su premacy between the present colonists Mid a party of marauders. Although the stories told about the unknown is land vary considerably, they all agree that it exists somewhere about 400 or COO miles southwest of Clipperton, in a low coral atoll covered with the rich est phosphates.' The plnce also has its legends of pirates treasures, which may or may not have had any founda tion in fact. One of the expeditions of recent date, which have been fitted out to look for the island, was the Vine expedition. That vessel's owner claims to have secured his knowledge of the place from the old sea captain named Martin,- above referred to, who died some years ago, and who left an old chart among his belongings, which told of a small island in the south Pacific, not :down on the regular charts, enor mously rich in guano. Mew Zealand Herald. Wk Victoria Weal Vlsltlasr. It- is difficult to imagine Queen Vic toria aa a window cleaner; but little princesses, like other little girls, enjoy "keeping house," and this incident if novo, land true: ' When a little child Princess Victoria went with her mother to visit Queen Adelaide. The duchess of Kent was obliged to le ve the little one alone with the' queen for some time, and the latter, to make the princess feel at home, said: ' "Now, my dear, you have an hour to spend with me, unci you shall do exactly as you like." VExaetly as I like?"- said the little princess, doubtfully. "Yes," replied the queen, little i imagining what was to follow. "Then, dear Aunt' Adelaide," said the child, "may I be allowed to clean the windows?" Queen Adelaide was start tied, but the little one had her way, setting to work with sleeves carefully rolled Up and an apron tied round hei waist. Golden Penny. rsuloi Anitil Ills Horse. Col. Funston sat on his horse, watch ing his Kansas boys fire at the enemy at Caloocan, when an orderly came up with the commanding general'B com pliments, and an order to stop firing. "Cease firing!" shouted the colonel. Only a few of the nearest men heard him, and the firing kept on. "Cease firing! " ordered the colonel again, and this time the bugle gave forth the peal aud the firing, after scattering, stopped . Altogether. Just then a ball from the insurgents drilled the neck of the . colonel's pony. ' Quick as a flash Funs ton whirled around, fire in his eyes. -"Commence firing!" he shouted, at the! top of his voice. "Give 'cm at 900 yards!" It took three or four rounds , of ammunition nil along the line to avenge that horse, though the colonel jartlll rides it. Leslie's Weekly.
