eMOHC ISLANDS AUU OUHS.
Tito More nrouim C'redltt'il lo Your
Uncle giiinncl.
Not since the administration of Martin
Van Durcn , when a United States expedition
explored the Southern Pacific ocean and
subsequent days of earnest missionary work
among the Islanders , has there been so much
Interest among the departments of the government
vhe
ernment nt Washington concerning the
Islands of the Pacific as now. It Is notice
able everywhere , even In the quiet scientific (
loof
atmosphere which pervades tbo ofllces of
the geological survey , writes a correspondent
of the New York Sun. Thle bureau has sent
ono of Its experts to make a preliminary sur
vey of the Philippines and two more are
about to start for Porto nlco with Instruc
tions to make plans for a thorough geological
examination of that Island with an espe '
cial view of finding Its stores of mineral
wealth , for It Is well known that there Is )
gold In the island.
But It is in the little islands of the Pacific ' -
cific that special Interest Is being shown Just
now. For many years two bulky volumes
published a long time ago In England and
entitled a "Directory of the Northern and
Southern Pacific" remained undisturbed on
the crowded shelves of the library of the
Department of State , but recently they be
gan to bo called for and now are In con-
slant demand. The most remarkable Incident
clc
dent ol tills sudden study of tne Pacific oc- >
( currett the other day when oni pf the gov
ernment DllUlnlt. In looking up the limps of
tht Caroline group , for otir of which our
pence commissioner * vainly trlul lo ti.irc.iln ,
opened an English atlas ntul fouml n uhola
Rii'axy cf Islniuls In the middle of the I'.i *
clllc credited to tlit' fluted Stair * . ll
looked at the date of the atlas nnd foi H ' It
Mas 1PS1. It tt * < the Keith Johnson royal
atlas , sanrltloncd by the foreign olllce .11 tl
generally considered nmonn HIP most trust
worthy ( In the world. On the mnp dootod to
| Southern 1'nclfle a green line enclrcUJ n b.c
pllce of thn ocran containing n lot of cholcu
IMamls I : and the word "American" was
pi across them In the panio way that
th FIJI Islands wore labeled Hrltlsh nnil
th . Marquesas wore crcdlied M the Troiieh.
In a foot note It was oxplalncil that
"American" meant the United Slates ,
Within the circle were the well Known
Phoenix nnJ I'nloa groups ntul a score ot
scattered Islands extending eastward as far
ns the latitude of the Sandwich Islands ,
while the western boundary rcaeheil almost
to the Carolines. The I'hopnlx and Union
groups are quite Important Jn size antl pop
ulation. They lie east of the Catollncs nnd
north of the Samoaa , are directly In the
path of steamers from San Kranelsco to
Australian ports and would bi > nr.ir the
course of steamers from the Nicaragua
canal to the Philippines. In the present
trend cf events any old Island In the mlildlo
of the Pacltlc would bo of some Importance
to the United States , but hero was n lot of
them which It was found Imd been credited
lo the United States for ninny > oars up to
1SS1 , not only by trustworthy mapmakcrs ,
but by authentic Hrltlsh publications.
The question naturally arcse , how or when
these Islands coasoil to belong to us , or
whether as a matter of fact they had conscil
to bo ours. Did we really possess all these
Islands without know Ing It , or had wo
simply forgot It ? The matter was fiken to
the State department , where no one had any
Information on the subject that Wat ready.
A little iinestlgntlon. howtncr , rc\ealed nn
Interesting history.
It appeared that for more than fifty years
these Islands were generally conceded as
belonging to the Unlled States by right of
discovery and occupation. For many years
our small merchant marine had consider
able trade with thorn. American Ruano
companies hail worKs on them and derived
largo profits till about 1S70. when the
guano deposits apparently began to run out ,
though Eomo of these works atlll remain.
Hut whllo the government of llio United
States never denied Its ownership of the
islands , no record has yet been found to
show that It ever olllclally afllrmcd ill ,
though In many instances It h.-.s notlflcd
other powers that It could not rccogulzo
the right of others to any privileges In
those waters not enjoyed by the United
States. Llka some European governments
till within a score of years , wu left these
Islnnde i to their own governmental devices.
Flornl MKIIN Vlsllilf- n Dlninnce t f
Four Mllt'N.
Some little 'time ago it was announced
that at Ardcnlcc , In Scotland , there existed
a wonderful advertisement made of flower
beds , saya a writer in Tld-Illts , each bed
.
taking the shape of a letter forty feet long ,
nrtil the whole comprising 120 odd feet or
blossoms , and the name of a Glasgow news
paper , which name could be read from a
distance of four and a hnlf miles. In
France , however , the Idea has been adopted
and Improved to a certain extent , for , ln <
stead of decorating hillsides ns In > the nbovo
Instance , they are about to decornto railway
embankments with floral advertisements , In
which case the flower beds cannot fall to
please the eye , even 'though ' they extol at
the same tlmo the virtues of a plck-mo-up
or n sowing machine.
The experiment Is to bo tried first of allen

Theatrical managers are very enterprising
advertisers , as the following example , which
might bo adopted by their British brethren
to the advantage of themselves nnd their
patrons , shows. A New York manager Bent
thousands of these advertisements out and
In view of the fact that people do not usu
ally cash 2-pcnce checks , but paid great at
tention to the document sent with them , had ,
no reason to regret his enterprise
The advertisement consisted of a perfectly
good check , payable to bearer for the sum
of 2 pence , and It was accompanied by the
following note : "Dear Sir : Assuming that
jour Income Is $15,000 ( 3,000) ) a. yea | anil
that you appreciate the fact that 'Time l

About a year ago ten well dressed gentle
men were seen promenading about the Bou
levard dea Itallcns , Paris. At Intervals !
they would walk up to any lady or ladle *
who \\cro shopping In that thoroughfare ,
and , coming to attention simultaneously ,
doffed their hats and stood for a brief space
with bowed heads before the at first startled
proinenaderB , who afterward smiled and
continued on their way , when the polite gen
tlemen without a word resumed their bat *
and their Journey. Their progress caused
vast excitement , especially when It was dis
covered that their cltan-shavcii scalps were
Inscribed with the words , written In largo
blue letters , "Cafo Such-and-Such. Concert
at such an hour. Tonight. "
This novel nioilo of advertising , It would
bo thought , could give the authorities no
cause for annoyance , but , alas ! au ofllclal
pounced upon them and , having announced
that all placards , bills , posters and sandwich
men's boards have to pay a certain duty and
bear a stamp , demanded to know whether
their skulls were duly licensed.
Unfortunately , not a single skull bore ths
regulation stamp , and as by French law tlio
authorities ran confiscate all unlicensed
posters , the position of the ten unfortunate
men who were in imminent peril of being
scalped became alarming at least the pub
lic thought so ; the ten , however , never lost
their beads or even their scalps for each

enforced in nil its rigor he , or rather hl
employer , would bo only a well-fitting w'S '
