Unless the rigors of social life in Wash ington demanded It, Mr. Moody would probably not give a second thought* to precedent. One Saturday afternoon not long ago he left the Navy Department before dosing time, entered his carriage and told the driver to take him to the navy yard, where, witli a party, of which Speaker Henderson and Repre- sentative Metcalf were members, Mr. Moody had planned to run down the Potomac over Sunday ou the l‘retti dent's yacht, the Hylpli.

LAND OF MANY WONDERS Galapigoi ItUndx Contain Sttmingly No Eg of Minerail. Captain Richard Nye, who was ow of thoee on the steamer W. 8. Pbelpe, tells of many wonders of the Galapa; o islands, which that vessel visited. In an interview at San Francisco he said “The islands are as full of minerals as a shad is of bones. On Albemarie there is an extinct crater, miles in di ameter, in which there is in sight W- 000 tons of ¡>ure sulphur. The crater is about ten miles inland and a tramway will be necessary for transportation t the coast, bnt this should be a small matter considering the possible profit “One of the queer things in Albe marle is that it is overrun with wild dogs. The animals are a mongrel breei and were left on the island by whalers. The dogs have become wild and et- tremely vicious. They ••« wolflike ia their habits and run in droves." Captain Nye also tells of a remarka ble lake on the island of Chatham at an elevation of 3,000 feet above th** level of the sea. This lake, accordittj to the captain, rises and falls with the tide, and no sounding line has evst reached its bottom. .Many relics of u ancient race were found. Juit Around the Comer.
