HOME OF Giffl TORTOISES
Group In Pacific Needed In Connection
With Panama Canal Scene of Curi
ous Sea Postoffice and Once Empire
of King Patrick Famous Deserter
and Slave Impounder
in looking around for a site for a
nnval station which would he of stra
tegic importance in the protection of
the Panama canal the United States
government entered into negotiations
with Ecuador for a lease of the Gala
pagos islands In the Pacific off the
coast of South America So great
however was the demonstrative wrath
of the people of Ecuador that Presi
dent Alfaro promised to drop consid
eration of the lease Consequently
Uncle Sam probably will not come into
the possession for one thing of the
only giant tortoises known to exist
For years the Galapagos have been
noted for these strange creatures aud
for little else except possibly the cu
rious sea postoflice established there a
hundred years ago or more by whalers
Callers at the sea postoffice after de
positing mail there have had a chance
to disport themselves by taking a ride
on the back of a giant tortoise
The tortoises of the Galapagos are
said to be the last survivors of the
reptilian age to which belonged the
huge dinosaurs and other creatures
of which only fossils remain Accord
ing to visitors to the islands these tor
toises have sometimes reached a length
of seven or eight feet The tortoises
have very shiny necks and cruel look
ing heads and are of a dull earthy
color It is said to be comparatively
easy to mount the back of one of
them and with the aid of a stick to
keep your balance you can enjoy a
novel ride The tortoises have made
deei paths all over the islands They
do not appear to be dying off
Unlucky 13 Again
Perhaps because there are thirteen
little islands in the Galapagos group
they have been unlucky for some folks
who have been marooned on them
They lie 730 miles southwest of Ecua
dor and about lo00 miles from Pana
ma occupying relatively the same po
sition in respect to the traffic approach
ing the canal from South America as
Hawaii does to trade from the north
One hundred years ago there was a
real wild man there The wild man
of the Galapagos was a red headed
Irishman and his name was Patrick
Watkins King Patrick he called him
self and for several years he ruled the
Islands and made slaves of some sail
ormen who landed there He is said
to have been responsible for the first
sea postoffice established there that
being the way devised by one sea cap
tain to warn others of the presence on
the islands of King Patrick
Later he succeeded in sailing away
and finally died in a Peruvian jail
Commodore David Porter father of
Admiral Porter visited the islands in
his ship the Essex during the war of
1S12 and brought back a story of the
reign of King Patrick David Glas
gow Farragut was a midshipman on
the Essex and he described the sea
postoffice as it then existed in a jour
nal he kept of the cruise
A man who visited the island in 1S84
described this sea postoffice as consist
ing then of a candle box nailed to a
tree and said that it looked old enough
to be the same box found by Farragut
Good Postoffice Erected
In the early nineties the British war
ship Amphion visited the Galapagos
and erected a new postoffice to com
memorate her visit The crew of the
warship put a new box oil top of a
post on the beach above high water
and cut the name of their ship in it
Since then it has been the custom of
callers at the postoffice to inscribe their
names on the post as a sort of post
mark
Uncle Sam once before the present
time had his attention called to the
Galapagos That was when an expedi
tion was sent there to rescue Frederick
Jeffs an American seaman who was
reported as marooned there as the re
sult of a shipwreck It was Febru
ary 1008 that the navy department
was asked to send a ship to look for
Jeffs after word had been received
from the coast of Ecuador that the
crew of a Norwegian vessel which had
been wrecked there had been rescued
with the exception of Jeffs who had
wandered away The whole world in
stantly began to take interest in this
case of a Robinson Crusoe
The gunboat Yankton detailed from
the battleship fleet then on its way
around the coast reached the islands
in March 1008 and made a careful
search of Indefatigable island one of
the smallest in the group and the one
from which the other shipwrecked sail
ors had been rescued Though they
searched hard and long the only trace
of the missing sailor the exploring par
ty could find was a signal pole erected
by him at a spring ten miles from the
spot where the other sailors had been
found and a rusty razor bearing his
name

Will Spend 70000000 to Improve tho
Thames Channel
Efforts to restore London to first
place among the ports of the world
promise to result in wonderful Im
provements The London docks long
have been one of the romantic if som
ber glories of the metropolis For
merly they were unequaled for size
and tonnage and the greatest ships
afloat entered them comfortably Dur
ing the last twenty five years how
ever they have fallen behind in the
march of progress They have be
come too small for the largest vessels
and trade has gone elsewhere Ham
burg in 100S passed London with 24
000000 tons to Londons 20000000
tons
For several years the question has
been seriously considered by leading
British business men and nine years
ago a royal commission recommended
nn outlay of 35000000 for improve
ments Now the London port authori
ty of which Lord Devonport is chair
man proposes to spend more than
70000000520000000 in the immedi
ate future and the remainder later
The port authority is self supporting
and the changes will involve no in
crease in taxes or cost to the ship
owners The docks will be vastly en
larged and the river will be dredged
to give a depth of thirty feet at low
tide Thus facilities will be provided
not only for the biggest ships of today
but for the largest likely to be built in
thirty years
Both freight and passenger business
will be developed and Lord Devon
port expects five years hence to see a
flourishing service of express steamers
between Tilbury and America and
many other parts of the world
We do not hope to compete with
Liverpool for fast travel says Lord
Devonport but we expect to have
ships of the Mauretania type carrying
passengers between London and New
York in six days Then thousands will
decide to take this route rather than
travel by rail to Liverpool to accom
plish the voyage In four and a half
days
MISS TAFT SETS A FASHION
Helen PinU Now Rage For Gowns
and Decorations
Pink is once more the rage for even
ing gowns and ballroom decorations in
Washington and it is all because of
Miss Helen Tafts preference for that
color Alice blue used to be the
popular shade in other days but now
It is Helen pink and at the three
largest cotillions of the year pink was
used in the decorations of the ball
rooms the table decorations and the
favors
Miss Taft ever since she entered so
ciety has shown a marked favor for
pink in its various shades and nearly
all her gowns are in that color Many
other society buds have taken the cue
from the presidents daughter and the
modistes are deluged with orders for
gowns in pink
The craze has even spread to sta
tionery while the very latest handker
chiefs are made of the palest softest
pink linen with a tiny edging of real
lace and the owners initial in one cor

Denver Finds Riches In Smelter Slag
Paving
It is said that the streets of heaven

far behind Sixth avenue in Denver

The Denver Pueblo Construction
company which has been surfacing
Sixth avenue with slag taken from
the dump of the old Grant smelter of
the American Smelting and Refining

slag has a streak running heavily in
silver lead and copper
The American Smelting and Refining
company soon got wise to the fact
and requested the construction com

part of the dump Several wagon
loads of the slag which has been used
were sent to the Globe smelter for
assay The belt of silver bearing stuff
is fifty feet long and twenty five feet
wide The streak of silver shows

DYE CHANGES MUSKRATS
New York Trapper Will Try to Breed
Different Colors
That muskrats of various colors exist
in the different dye streams Issuing
from a big leather tannery at Monti
cello N 1 has been proved by Ed
ward Turney a local trapper
The other night he set a box trap on
the bank of one of the streams and in
the morning found he had caught a
green muskrat of the most brilliant
hue He followed this up by setting
another trap near the red dye stream
which resulted in the capturing of a
bright red specimen and his third at
tempt was equally successful in the
yellow stream
Turney says he will now breed the
three animals and hopes to produce
nearly every color of the rainbow
