THE ISLAND OF CKETE
A Brief Historical Aoooont
Tbxllllii Interest
of
Story of the "Isle of On Hnadred
. Cltlee " from the A-e of Fable
to the P res eat Yes
of Uraco. ;
There are not many islands with a
more stormy or more heroic history
than that of Crete. In remote antiquity
It waa the redoubtable "Isle ot One
Hundred Cities," and had an illustrious
line of kings, among whom were Ehad
amanthus, Minos and Idomeneua. Tbe
last-named led a fleet of 80 ehipa to
assist in the conquest of Troy, and was
the last of what we may call tbe legend
ary kings. After him a gap of several
centuries occurs, and when the record
is resumed it is no longer fable, but
authentic history. At the time of the
Persian invasion of Greece the island
was populous and prosperous. It was
divided into several independent re
publics, which, like those of the penin
sular Hellas, were not always in peace
and friendship with each other. They
l;cpt free from foreign wars, however,
except as they voluntarily furnished
mercenary troops to whichever side
would pay best for them. This was
done in both the Persian and Pelopon
nesian wars, when the Cretan archers
were as noted and as dreaded as those
of Merry England in later agesi
The prowess of the ancient Cretans
and their insular position kept them
free from invasion down almost to the
Christian era. While the eagles of Home
"flapped wide wings in fiery flight"
over nearly all else of the known world
that island retained its independence.
Indeed, it was only through intestine
quarrels that it was at last subdued.
Some 70 years before the Christian era
Rome took advantage of the prevailing
discord in Crete to invade the island,
on the pretext that the Cretans had
given aid and comfort to Mithridates,
and had ill-treated some Roman soldiers.
The first army was repulsed and almost
annihilated by the Cretans. But Rome
was determined to achieve the conquest,
if it took the whole power of her em
pire. Army after army was sent, and
after three years of desperate fight
ing Rome prevailed.' For the first time
in her history Crete became, in 68 B. C.
subject to an alien master. From that
day to the present, for more than 1,900
years', she bas been a conquered prov
ince, never once regaining the inde
pendence so long maintained and so re
luctantly relinquished.
For many years Crete remained an
appendage of Rome, and then of By
zantium. It first fell into Moslem hands
in 823, when the Arabs, led by Michael
the Stutterer, found it an easy prey.
No important attempt to colonize it
was made by the new conquerors, but
many of the Greek inhabitants, volun
tarily or involuntarily, accepted the
Moslem faith. So it comes to pass that
ot this day there are few Turks or Arabs
in the island, though manv Moham
medans, the latter being of as pure
Greek blood as their Christian neigh
bors. . After 137 years of Arab rule the
island was retaken by the Greeks under
Nicephorus Phocas, who taught the
Arabs what he thought "an everlasting
lesson." It remained under Greek ruli
until the establishment of the Latin
empire by the crusaders, when, in 1204,
it was turned over to Boniface, mar
quis of Monferrat. The Genoese tried
to buy it of him, but he sold it to their
rivals, the Venetians, instead, for the
pum of 100,000 silver marks. The Cre
tans revolted against the Venetians,
knd, assisted by Genoa, gave them much
trouble. Indeed, during their several
centuries of ownership, the Venetians
had few years of peace with the turbu
lent islanders.
The second Moslem conquest dates
rom 1645. Sultan Ibrahim, on the pre-
ext that Venice had given assistance
o the Knights of Malta, sent an army
f 100,000 men to seize the island. It
xok them nearly two month to cap
tire the port ot Canea, and no leas than
U years to reduce tbe capital city of
Candia. Then Venice yielded the whole
island to the Turks, excepting three
ports, the last of which she also re
linquished in 1715. Thereafter came the
bloodiest chapter in Cretan history. Op
preesions, rapine, torture and massacre
made up the daily story for more than
100 years. The Cretans were in a chronic
state of revolt, and in 1821 would prob
ably have been successful had not an
Kgyptlan army come to the aid of the
Turks. Seven year later, when Greece
became independent, Crete waa ceded
to Kgypt aa a reward for the letter's
services. For some yeart thereafter,
tinder the wise rule of Mehemet All and
Muwtapha Paaha, the island enjoyed
such, prosperity, peace and justice as
it had not known for many centuriea
I nhappliy, in 1840 the pow era com
pelled Mehemet All to aurrender it
igain to Turkey, and since then af
fair have been nearly aa bad aa lion
sible. The great rebellion of 30 years
ngo resulted in tbe granting of some
reforms. But the Cretans did not know
how to make proper use of the advan
tage they had gained, and now the whole
battle must be fought over again. N. Y.

A WONDERLAND.
faots and Gueeses About the
Roralma Mountains.
A Mysterious Country Near the) Bchoaa-
bnrgk Llna la Venezuela Barmtsee
as to the Flora and Fansut
f the Region.
Perhaps one result of the Venezuela
boundary commission's work will be
the solving of the most remarkable
geographical enigmas in the world and
the exploration of what is regarded aa
a unique natural wonderland. This re
markable region is a number of elevated
and isolated areas of land, situated on
what the British call British Guiana'
southwestern boundary, which is in the
disputed territory. It is on the British
side of the ScbomburgV line. A British
Guiana newspaper desy.-ibes this region,
as far as it is known, and expresses the
hope that the final settlement of the
boundary controversy will leave it well
within British bounds. Should there be
another result, however, the newspa
per says, the region should be made an
international park, something on the
plan of the Yellowstone park reserva
tion.
The region is called by the Indians
'Roraima," but the several isolated
areas are known by distinctive names.
Each consists of what might be called
an isolated mountain, but is really a
table-land, comprising an area of 100
or more square miles, elevated several
thousand feet above the surrounding
country. The rocky sides of the moun
tains are as perpedicular as the Hudson
river palisades and entirely bare of vege
tation, and have defied all attempts to
scale them. The level summits are cov
ered with trees and other vegetation,
and down the rocky sides fall a large
number of cascades of considerable size,
indicating the certain existence of rivers
and streams on the mysterious summits,
and probably ' of lakes that feed the
rivers. The summits have been ob
served with telescopes, and are known
to be as full of plant life aa the tropical
plains below, but beyond this nothing
is known.
Because so little is known of the con
dition of these table-lands occasion is
given for all manner of speculation aa
to what exists there, Thlt the vegeta
tion is quite different from that on the
plains below the telescoqe shows; and
that it should be so is quite natural, as
the table-lands are 2,000 or more feet
higher than the plains. While the cli
mate of the plains is tropical, that of the
table-lands must be temperate, not only
because of their elevation, but because
of the free play the winda have about
them.
Of the geology of the region this ex
planation is given: This part of South
America rose slowly from the sea,
through successive and remote ages.
The Roraima mountains were formed
precisely as was the rest of the land,
and are not the result of volcanic action.
Hence they must have been above the
ocean before the surrounding plains
appeared. They stood 2,000 feet above
the level of the sea when the neighbor'
ing tops were but islands in the ocean.
In the course of a period difficult to ap
pertain te the adjacent valleys and plains
appeared above the water and became
covered with vegetation and animal
life. But the isolated plateaus of
Roraima had a tremendous start of the
plains below. Here comes the alleged
ground for the speculation that perhaps
on these mysterious summits there ex
ists flora and fauna unlike any found
elsewhere, forms of life that long since
disappeared from other parts of the
world, but remained the same on these
summits, because unaffected by the in-
fluencea of communication with the
outer world. All sorts of wild guesses
have been hazzarded regarding the ex
istence of strange reptiles and animals
among the streams and forests of
Roraima.
The cascadet falling from the summits
are among the highest in the world.
One ia 2,000 feet high and is
broad enough to be visible 30 miles
away. It falls sheer, without a break.
The mountains from which these cas
cades fall form the dividing watersheds
of the Amazon, the Orinoco and the
Essequibo, the three great rivers of
South America, and the water of the
cascades flow some to one and some to
another of these rivers. It is argued
that to supply these waterfalls there
must be a considerable body of water
on the mountain plateaus, and it is
natural to conclude that where there are
large bodies of water there are fish and
reptiles. The resulting conclusion that,
becauae these ' flab, and reptiles must
have been isolated on the mountain top
for ages, they are likely to be different
from any known species, is regarded
quite natural. The mountain plateaus
form practically little countries by
themselves, like islands, but more iso
lated, because the ocean of air that sur
rounds them does not afford tbe facili
ties for communication with other
islands aa do the waters of the ocean it
self. One of tho plateaus, known aa Kuken
hnm, which ia better situated for ob
servation than any of the others, is es
timated to have an area of 200 square
mile or more. The smallest, which
hear the name common to the group.
Roraima, is estimated to contain 80 to
140 square miles.
The story ot the mysterious region I
hot new, at least to British Guiana. It
ia many year since any scientific men
were in the region, but chance traveler
and gold prospectors happen there at
odd times, and when they return to
Demerara tbe) add their little store of
information and mystification to to
reiL N. Y. Sun.
