ON CRUSOE'S ISLAND.
WHERE ROBINSON AND HIS MAN
FRIDAY LIVED.
lioaton Man's Visit to the Little Dot
on the 3Iap of the l'aclfic Ocean
Made Fantoua by the Caurul( rea
of AlexunJer De Foe.
John Burns, of Boston, has been on
a Journey to Juan Fernandez, tho fa
tuous Island home of Hoblnson Crusoe.
He saw inuny of the places ou the Isl
and that were frcauented by Alexander
Selkirk, and where he fortified himself
against real and Imaginary enemies.
Mr. Bums took several pictures of
tlio inoro notable places nud strolled
about the Island, even climbing the
high mountains. It Is a rockrlbbed,
rather desolate possession of the Chil
ian Government, 400 miles off tho Chil
ian coast.
'There is a good little harbor on tho
west side of the strango Island," said
Mr. Burns, "and It is hero that the
prosperous and contented Inhabitants
nro located. The colony consists of
eighty Germans and souio natives of
Chill, ruled by Alfred Bodt, who Is
Governor of Junn Fernandez, and re
ceives $100 a month.
"The bay Is pretty and alive with lob
sters, mackerel, and yellowtall. The
ycllowtall are from one to two feet
long,, and, like tho mackerel, are fine
eating. As for the lobsters, I do not
believe there uro any liner ones any
where. Thcro Is a small cannery- on
tho island, whero some of the flsh are
put up for shipment A schooner
comes In every twenty days from Val
paraiso and gets sotuo of tho fish nud
lobsters, and nlso, when required, takes
away some of tho wild game. Beyond
the visits of this craft tho Island Ib ns
lonely ns when De Foo wroto of It, or
when It was the resort of the Spanish
buccaneers.
"I visited the largo cave whero Rob
inson Crusoe made hlmsulf safo from
savago barbarians, as lie supposed,
when ho dlsrovorcd the footprints of
Friday In the sands. Tho cavo runs
back Into tho mountains for at least
fifty feet. It docs not start from the
water, but has Its mouth somewhat In
land. It la largely grown over with
bright green leaves and Is attractive
oven to this day. Thcro nro other
smaller caves near at hand.
"Tho Island Is covered with wild
goats, wild donkeys, and wild pigs.
Tho natives, odd to relate, catch tho
goats In the same way that It. Is report
ed Hint Selkirk did.
"Tho only fruit that I saw there were
the fig nnd tho quince Tho tig trees
are numerous nud grow from fifteen
to thirty feet high. I think that almost
any kind of fruit would nourish there.
"Altogether tho Island Is a strange
little principality, eighteen miles loug
and six wide, with mountains reaching
to a height of 3,000 feet. It Is pretty
well watered, and Is greener nnd nioro
attractive every way than I had ex
pected to find It. Tho harbor and the
little colony an tho shore are very pic
turesque. Tho water Is as blue as In
digo most of the time, nud this, com
bined with a clear sky and soft air.
and tho singing of birds, makes It a
unique place, and altogether one par
ticularly fitted for the hero of tho dis
tant Island, who became tho themo of
Do Foe's pen."
PAUL JONES AND THE DUCHESS.
Orent Cantti'ri Win Not to I'e Onttlono
In l'rnich Cuiirte.y,
The Ducliess'of Ghnrtres was an en-
thiiHlitbt tu tho cause of Amcilcan lib
I orty, and a warm friend of Its Kicnt ua
t vnl champion, 1'iuil Jones, whom sho
nlckuuiiicd the "Untitled Knight of tlio
Sen." Tho Ducbcsg was a toyul I'tlu
coss and u very grout lady, and Cap
tnln Jones was a sailor, self-educated,
and the hott of u Scotch bui doner, but
In the exchaiiKO of gifts and compll
incuts which, according to tho custom
of tho day In France, attended their
friendship ho was not to bo outshone.
At a luncheon which Bhe gave Just
before ho sailed from France In the
Hanger, ou that famous crulso of his
which cnrtietl tho war to tho very shore
of Britalu, It was the good fortune of
Paul Jones to sharo m a conversation
touching a French unvnl engagement
In which the grandfather of tlio Duch
ess had boruo a conspicuous part, uud
to defend a lid explain ills maneuvers
ou that occasion showing a knowl
edge of every ship and every captain
engaged, uud winning on tho spot tlio
anient personal adherence of Mine, do
Ohartres.
At tho close of tho feast she present
ed to him a valuable watch which had
been her grandfather's. Taken by stir
pilse, tho American captain neverthe
less accepted It with a grace that
charmed tho courtly company, prom
ising In return, If fortttno favored him,
ho would somo day "lay au English
frigate ut her feet."
It was a daring boast, but in A. C.
Huells' recent biography of Paul Jones
It is related how ho kept It. Within
two years occurred tho marvelous vic
tory of the Bon Ilommo Hlchard over
tho Scrapls, coucerulug which tho vic
tor wroto tho Duchess a letter, ending:
"Tho enemy surrendered nt 35 minutes
past 10 p. in., by your watch, which 1
consult ouly to Ux tho moment ot vic
tory." That wns a phrase to delight a socie
ty that reveled In pretty phrases, nud
tho Duchess wns amply Fatlsttcd,
When Paul Jones reached Paris sho
gave a grand bauo.net lu his honor.
Jnst before it ended hp reminded her
of her gift and his promise, A servaut
was sent to his room nnd returned
with a loug leather case, which tho
Ducheo? took amid tho exclamations
nud eager curlorlty of tho company,
"Your rojol hlghnet.3 perceives tho
Impossibility oMteeplng my promise la.
kind," explained tho Knight of the Sea,
smiling. "The English frigate proved
to be a forty-four on two decks, and she
Ib now at Lorlent with French colors
flying. Tho toest I can do toward keep
lug my word of two years ago is to
place In your dainty hands the sword
surrendered to me by one of the brav
est of men the sword of Captain the
Hon. Klchard Pearson of his Britannic
majesty's lato ship, the Serapls."
Youth's Companion.
THE WORLD'S RICHEST MAN.
Alfred Belt, Whose Kortnncl Kxceeda
$1,000,000,000.
Itumors from London say that an
American lady Is to marry tho richest
man in tho world. Tho lady Is Mrs.
Adolf Landcnburg, widow of n Now
York banker who was drowned nt sea
a few years ago, and who Is said to bo
ono of the most beautiful women In
metropolitan society. Her privato for
tune amounts to about $500,000. She is
tull and stately, Is fond of fox hunting
nntris a superb horsewoman. Slio has
spent much time In London, whero she
met her alllnuced, Alfred Belt, a Ger
man. Mr. Belt's wealth Is said to exceed
ten hundred millions. Ho Is tho brains
and tho biggest part of the diamond
trust, and Is the principal owner of the
famous De Beers diamond mines at
Klmberlcy and of tho gold mines
further north. He Is a partner of Cecil
Ithodes, but that astute Englishman Is
only an incident in the' diamond line
when compared with Bolt Ithodes
uns. i.AwnnNBona.
ALFRED nKIT.
was a lato comer, and tho Ingenious
German had nil but completed thn
work of organization when Cecil put In
his nppcaranco nt Klmberley.
Mr. Belt Is 47 years old. Ills father
was a well-to-do merchant in Hamburg
twenty-live yenrs ago, and Alfred was
a clerk In tho concern. About that time
tho South African excitement began to
grow Important, nud the Hamburg mer
chant wns asked for largo credits by
business men near tho diamond Holds.
Alfred Belt wns then '23, shrewd, capa
ble, cautious, and precocious. Ills fath
er scut him out to South Africa to In
vest Ign to the general state of business
thcro and dctermlno whether tho trado
demanded tho credits and whether tho
credits were good.
Young Belt saw and appreciated the
situation. lie begau by buying up tho
scnttcrcd and conlllctlng .claims. To
accomplish this work ho was liberally
backed by his father and his father's
friends In Germany. Tho result was
tho great Do Beers Company, which
for ninny years has paid f per cent
on its bonds nnd from 20 to 40 per
cent ou its stock. It Is capitalized at
$-10,000,000. Next came tho gold dis
coveries, and here, too, Belt was tho
llrst organizer lu the Held.
Mr. Belt Is tlio poorest-looking rich
man on earth. Ills clothes are so very
plain ns to be almost shabby. Ho never
discusses his trade with outsiders, but
beneath his mild nud apparently dltll
dent exterior Is a capacity for business
misurpasscd by that of any man lu tho
great commercial countries of Christen
dom. Ills wealth has been estimated
at $1,000,000,000, but this takes no ac
count of tho few barrels of diamonds
ho keeps stowed away for fear of low
ering prices.
IIo Would Not He lleutcn.
"Talking about cxtruordlunry tilings,"
said one tlrst-class passenger to another
on uu Atlantic liner, "1 once swallowed
tho contents of eighteen eggs at a sit
ting. That takes some boating."
"Which I can give It," returned tho
other, "On one occasion, let mo tell
you, 1 got outsldo tho Inner moaning of
no less than twenty-four eggs, sir;
think of that!"
"A hi 1 know I hnd a sort of pre
sentiment that you would beat mo If I
told my talo llrst. But aro you sure of
thoso twenty-four eggs? I may not
huvo heard you quite distinctly. It's a
lot. you know."
"Yes; nnd I did It, fairly and square
ly. Twenty-four hens' eggs ut a single
sitting." .
"Oh, I see," said tho man who had
spokeu first, nnd ho said it lu tho man
ner of ono who has solved au Incom
prehensibility, "hens' eggs! I thought
you meant ostriches' eggs, tho same ns
tho elghtceu I swallowed!" Modern
Society.
i
Heady Start.
A lecturer In a California town bad
In his audience a lank young man who
drank in every word with tlatterlug
avidity, nnd whoso eyes bulged with
delight at the pictures thrown ou tho
screen.
As the evening woro on, the lecturer
got Into tho habit of looking nt this,
entranced listener, nnd after a while
had almost tho feeling that tho lecture
was luteuded for him alone.
This evidently was tho Idea which
possessed tho lank young mau as well,
for when tho lecturer said:
"And now I will ask you to go with
mo two miles Into the Juugle," he
sprang to his feet.
"Anywhere you say, mister," ho
shouted, with kindling eyes, "If you
can just hold on loug enough for mo to
cut home nud get my gun!"
When you get a new Job you nlways
