The Island of St. Helena. S t Helena has beeD an Island of tragedies—tragedies that have been lost alght of walling over tbe Cor sican. On tbe second day of my visit the governor took me by carriage road through the turns over the Island. At one point of our Journey the road, lu winding around spurs and ravines, formed a perfect W within tbe dis tance of a few rods. The roads, though tortuous and steep, were fairly good, and 1 was struck with tbe amount of labor It must have cost to build them. Tbe air on the heights was cool and bracing.

The pterodactyl, whose fossil re mains have been found In the chalk at Cambridge. England, and elsewhere, with a very varied spread of wings, which In the largest specimens must have reached twenty-flve feet. Is al most Identical with the dragon of fable. A batllke creature, with an elevated body and long neck ending In an absurdly small head with a por tentous beak. It could run very swift ly, was a fish eater and could swim, or it flew by means of huge membra nous wings, which connected Its long fore quarters with Its hind legs. The pterodactyl evidently existed down to a comparatively recent geological peri od, nnd It Is not at all Improbable that the traditional dragon is described from the last living specimens ns met with by primitive man 8sved the Crown Jewels. A very romantic adventure once be fell the Scottish crown Jewels while they were deposited for safety In Dun ottar castle. This stronghold was be sieged by Cromwell so hotly that the little garrison decided to surrender. On the eve of yielding the wife of Ogllvle the commander of the beleaguered ens- tle, managed, with tbe aid of the wife of tbe local minister, to elude the be siegers aud get the Jewels nwny. The latter were burled under the pulpit in the parish church and lay there till tbe restoration, though the minister and his wife were tortured to disclose the place where tbs Jewels were hid den.
