Pitcairn returned\nWednesday from a trip to the Old\nCountry.\nFruit growers and others interested in the industry met in convention last week at Kamloops.\nEvery part of the province, was\nwell represented, and every district had some resolution to offer.\nThe morning session, presided\nover by the Deputy Minister of\nAgriculture, Mr. W. E. Scott, was\ndevoted mainly to the discussion\nof various matters-at difference between the fruit growers and the\ntransportation companies which\ncarry the produce of the interior\norchards down to the prairies of\nthe Northwest. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 .\nMr. Cameron, of Hammond, and\nthe manager of the Dominion Express Company did most of the\ntalking. The former was well\nsupported by several of the lower\ncountry fruit men and Mr. Helme\nhad the very diplomatic assistance\nof General Traffic Manager'Lanigan\nof the C. P. R. The resolutions\ndiscussed all had to do with express rates.\nAfter adjournment i the first\nresolution put was one expressing\nsympathy with the family of the\nlate Hon. R. G. Tatlow. This was\ncarried with due ceremony by a\nstanding vote.\nThen came a long discussion on\nthe service given by the railroads\nand the express companies. \u00C2\u00A3 G.\nEarl, Traffic Manager Lanigan, and\nthe chairman took the most prominent part in this discussion, and\nMr. Lanigan held that the Canadian\nPacific and the Dominion Express\ncompany had always considered\nthe fruitgrowers of the province,\nand that he himself had given a\ngreat deal of time to this work.'\" '\nMany other resolutions which\nhad been, sent in were cancelled\nfor want of a mover, and finally a\ngeneral one expressing confidence\nin the good will of both railway\nand express companies was passed\nwith enthusiasm.\nA number of the representatives\nof northwest wholesale firms then\naddressed the convention.\nOn the following day the fruitgrowers met again, and a large\namount of new business was\neffectively disposed of before an\nadjournment was reached. The\nmost important matter dealt with\nwas the reorganization of the\nBritish Columbia Fruitgrowers'\nassociation. The new constitution\nas presented by Mr. Scott was\nthreshed out clause by clause and\nseveral suggested .changes were\nadopted. It provides for much\ncloser relations between the association and the department of\nagriculture and should prove of\nimmense advantage to the industry\nin the province.\nIn the afternoon the new officers\nwere elected, directors being appointed for the various districts\nand these in turn electing from\ntheir number the executive heads.\nR. M. Palmer of Kamloops was\nchosen president, C. J. Metcalfe of\nHammond, vice-president, and W.\nR. Winslow of the department of\nagriculture, secretary, R. H. Agur\nof Summerland and W. C. Rawley\nRichardo of the Coldstream ranch,\ntogether with the above and the\nminister of agriculture and his\ndeputy will compose the executive.\nResolutions were adopted endorsing the national apple show,\nMaxwell Smith outlining the work\nalready done and explaining the\nimmense advantage which would\nbe derived from it. Price lists,\nmarket conditions and other matters\nof moment to orchardists were\ngiven close attention and were\ndiscussed freely. Victoria was\nchosen as the next place of meeting and the association will meet\nat the capital in January. After\nthe close of the proceedings the\ndelegates as the guests of Mayor\nRobinson were driven to interesting\npoints about the district.\nV. V. & E. Line\nGoing Ahead\nA good start on construction\nwork on the V. V. & E., has been\nmade on the eighteen-mile section\nof railway from Princeton west to\nOtter Flat, near the eastern slope\nof the Hope mountains. The\nsections east and west of the\nmountains will be built by J. W.\nStewart & Co.\nWest of Princeton the sub-contracts have been awarded to James\nWelth, J. McPhee, Fred Wilson\nand Madden & Hankison. No less\nthan nine construction camps have\nbeen established. J. Wilson is\ndriving a 1050ft. tunnel near\nPrinceton and the equipment comprising two donkey engines and a\nsteam shovel. The eighteen-mile\nsection, it is expected, will be\ncompleted before next Christmas.\nThe work for most of the distance\nis quite heavy. The snow in the\nvicinity of Princeton has disappeared and summer weather prevails.\nA V. V. & E. survey party in\ncharge of Mr. C. F. Russell is now\nengaged in locating a line for a\nrailway between Penticton, at the\nfoot of Okanagan Lake to Oroville,\nWash., a point on the V. V. & E.\nrailway on the international boundary line. It is not generally known\nthat the Great Northern is now engaged in building a line from\nOroville to Wenatchee, the centre\nof the fruit-growing district on the\nColumbia river and a station on\nthe main line of the Hill road. The\nroute is down the fertile Okanagan\nvalley. The contract for building\nthe road from Oroville south to\nBrewster, where the Okanagan\nriver enters the Columbia, ha*\nbeen awarded to Messrs. Guthrie\n& Co.. of St. Paul. Fifteen miles\nof roadbed south from Oroville\nhave been graded already. The\ndistance' between Oroville and\nBrewster is about 70 miles. Once\nWenatchee is linked up with the\nV. V. & E. system east of the Hope\nmountains, the Great Northern\nsystem will enjoy an alternative\nroute between Vancouver and\neastern points.\nDeath of Bishop\nof Kootenay\nThe Rt. Rev. John Dart, Bishop\nof Westminster and Kootenay, died\nlast Friday afternoon. He was\nstricken with paralysis about two\nveeks ago, and very little hope has\nbeen entertained of his recovery.\nBishop Dart was 74 years of age\nand came over to British Columbia\nin 1895, having been consecrated\nby the Archbishop of Canterbury\nas Bishop of Westminster. Five\nyears later the see of Kootenay was\nalso brought under his jurisdiction.\nHe was a profound scholar, though\nas a preacher, clear and simple in\nstyle, and greatly respected by all\nthe clergh of the see.\nThe Bishop was to have visited\nKelowna in May for the confirmation services at St'.

There were ,\nno \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 marks visible save : a slight -\nbruise on the cheek and a fracture\nof the base of the skull, -but the '\nbrain had been lacerated, and '\nthere never was any hope of h\nrecovery.\nThe' injured gentleman was removed to the hospital as quickly\nas possible after the accident Dr.\nO ML;Jones examined him there\nupon his arrival; but a very brief\ninvestigation was sufficient to convince the physician that there was\nabsoli*fe_y^;Bi9 yyJtel&yi ^Gsfebii^\nTatlow never moved after the\naccident.

Now it is\nthe first intimation I evei had of\nlike taking place, and if Mr. Elliott\nhad known of it being done it was\nhis place to report to me. I acknowledge that the operator got\nrattled on the night of the fire and\nput in the wrong plugs, which any\nof us might have done' But when\nhe says that an operator maliciously shuts off the service, it is a more\nserious charge to bring against him.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0*- Now in the first place, it is impossible for the operator to get near\nthe bell, as it is under lock and key.\nAll the operator could do would\nbe to shut off some certain phone,\nwhich would not then ring when\nanyone wished to call central.\nThis has been done with my consent where a drunken man was\nannoying the operator, and.has only happened three times to my\nknowledge since the Central was\nestablished.\nI might say that if you are to\nbelieve all the reports\nyou hear in a place like this you\nare likely to soon be a fit subject\nfor the Westminster Asylum. 1\nfully agree with Mr. Elliott when he\nsays we want a night watchman,\nand then we might be in a better\nposition to know who set his building on fire.\nSorry to have to trespass on your\nvaluable space,\nI am,\nYours truly\nH.

Parmalee, physician and surgeon twelve years in Toledo, says: \"The\nmajority of saloon-keepers die from dropsy,\narising from kidney and liver diseases,\n.induced by beer drinking. My experience\nhas been that saloon keepers and men\nworking around breweries are very liable\nto the diseases. When one of those apparently stalwart beery fellows is attacked by\na disorder that would not be regarded as\nat all dangerous in a person of ordinary\nconstitution, or even a delicate, weakly\nchild or women, he is liable to drop off\nlike an over ripe apple from the tree.\nYou are never sure of him a minute. He\nmay not be dangerously sick today and\ntomorrow be in his shroud. Most physicians, like myself, dread being called upon\nto take charge of a sick man who is an\nhabitual beer drinker. The form of Bright's\ndisease known as swollen or large white\nkidney is much more frequent among\nbeer drinkers than any other class of people.\"\nDr. S. S. Lungren: \" The brain and its\nmembranes suffer severely-, and after irritation and inflammation comes dullness and\nstupidity. There is no question in my mind\nthat many brain diseases and cases of insanity are caused by excessive beer drinking.\nDr. C. A. Kirkley: \"Under its influence\nthe mental powers are more inactive than\nthe physical, There is hardly a single\ncause that operates mores powerfully in the\nproduction of insanity; and not only that,\nbut it excites the action of. other causes\nthat may be present.\"\nDr. W. T. Ridenour: \"I have no doubt the\nrapid spread of Bright's disease is largely\ndue to beer drinking. I have always believed\nthat Bayard Taylor fell o victim to the German beer that he praised so highly. He\ndied of Bright's disease at fifty, when he\nshould have lived, with his constitution, to\na ripe old age. He went as other drinkers\nare going all the time and everywhere.\"\nDr. C. A. Kirkley : \" I believe that forty-\nnine out of fifty cases of chronic Bright's\ndisease are directly produced by it. 1 have\nnever met with a case in which the patient\nhas not been intemperatejo a greater or\nto a greater or less degree. The proportion\nmay be too high, but that is certainly my\nexperience. Mr. Christain a celebrated\nauthor, states that three-fourths to four-fifth's\nof the cases met with in Edinburgh were\nin habitual drunkards.*'\nDn W. T. Ridenour: \" Beer drinking produces rhumatism by producing chronic\ncongestion and ultimately degeneration of\nthe liver, thus interfering with' its function\nby which the food is elaborated and fitted\ninto the sustenance of the body.\"\nDr. S. H. Burgen: \"All beer drinkers\nhave rhumatism, more or less, and no one\ncan recover from it as long as he drinks\nbeer. Notice how a beer drinker walks\nabout stiff on his heels, without any of the\nelasticity and spring from the toes and balls\nof the foot that a healthy man should have.\nThat is because the beer increases the li thia deposits about the smaller joints.\"\nDr. S. H. Burgen: \" The first effect on the\nliver is to congest and enlarge it. Then\nfollows a low grade inflammation and subsequent contraction of' the capsules, producing ' hob-nailed' or drunkard's liver,\nthe surface covered with little lumps that\nlook like nails on the'soles of shoes. This\ndevelopes dropsy. The congestion of the\nliver clogs up all the springs'of the body, and\nmakes all sorts of exertion as difficult and\nlabored as it would be to run a clock, the\nwheels of which were covered with dirt\nand gum.\n. The president of the Connicticut Mutual\nLife Insurance Company\u00E2\u0080\u0094one of the oldest\nin the country\u00E2\u0080\u0094has for years been investigating the relation of beer and longevity ;\nor otherwise, whether beer drinkers are\ndesirable risks for a life insurance company.\nHe declared, as the result of a series of\nobservations carried on among a selected\ngroup of persons'who were habitual drinkers of beer, that although for two or three\nyears there was nothing remarkable, yet\npresently death began to strike, and then\nthe mortality became astounding and uniform in its manifestations.\nThere was no mistaking it; the history\nwas almost invariable; robust, apparent\nhealth, full muscles, a fair outside, increasing weight; florid faces; then a touch of\ncold or a sniff of malaria, and instantly some\nacute disease, with almost invariable typhoid systoms, was in violent action, and ten\ndays or less ended it. It was as if the system had been kept fair on the outside,\nwhile within it was eaten to a shell, and at\nthe first touch of disease there was. utter\ncollapse, of every fibre was poisoned and\nweak.\nAnd in its main .features, varying in degree, has been his observation in beer\ndrinking everywhere. It is peculiarly deceptive at first; it is thoroughly destructive\nat last.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Pioneer,\nMust Some Day Give Way\nNew Metal, Aluminum.\nWithin the last 200 years about 50\n.metals have' been discovered. Most\nof them, it is true, have been looked\nupon by the world as curiosities, and\nthey have been relegated to the chemical museums and shown in tiny little\nvials as samples of the wonderful\nachievements of ? modern scientific\nresearch. Occasionally they would be\nreferred to by some writer with a\nvivid imagination, who would call to\nmind their extreme rarity and their\nfabulous value\u00E2\u0080\u0094but only as chemical\ncuriosities and never as substance\nthat would ever be of any possible\nuse to mankind. Then the little vials\nwould be put back on the shelves out\nof sight, out of mind, until the public\nwished again to hear the tales of gallium and germanium and radium, and\nto estimate what it would cost to\nmake a pound of thesn rarities.\nWith the advent of tlio electric furnace and the use of temperatures\nhitherto unheard of these little vials\nhave been taken down for another\npurpose. Oxides of tho ram metals\nhave been introduced to the fearful\nheat and reduced to the form of pure\nmetals, and these rare metals, now\nrare no longer on account of tho\ncheapness of reduction nnd abundance\nof ore, are taking their proper place\n\"J the sphere of industrial activity.\nThe little dust-covered vials are looming up, and keen, hard-headed scientists are studying them with a view to\ntheir possibilities and the best means\nas to their utilization.\nTake aluminum, for example. In\n1888 p.luminum first appeared on the\nmarket and sold for $5 a pound. It\nwas still a curiosity, and here and\nthere some one would get hold of an\nounce or two and muse over its extreme lightness, its beautiful color and\nits acid and oxygen' resisting properties. But still a curiosity. Then\ncomes the electric furnace. Aluminum\ndrops from $5 a pound to 35 cents a\npound, and the world suddenly sits\nup very straight and takes notice. A\nmetal more useful than gold or silver\npossibly than iron, has joined the\ngreit procession of modern business\nopportunities, and immediately the\nbusiness man frantically seeks the\nman of science and talks about \"possibilities.\" v\nAluminum has had a remarkable\ngrowth, commercially; but the next\nfew decades will show its real value\nand use. It is popularly supposed\nthat iron is the commonest of all\nmetals but analyses of the earth's\ncrust show that aluminum is the king\nof all the m.;tals as far as quantity is\nconcerned. There is just a little more\nthan eight per cent, of aluminum in\nthe crust of the earth, or'almost twice\nas much as there is of iron, and more\nthan 80 times as much aluminum as\nthere is copper.\nSome time aluminum will'be made\nfor a few cents a pound, and it will\neventually displace7 iron in many\nplaces where that metal is. now considered to be indispensable. It is\nabout one-third the weight of iron- is\nabout as strong in tensile strength as\ncast iron and just as soon as the\nproper alloy of aluminum can be\nfound it will be steel's strongest rival\nAt present metallurgists are handicapped by the fact that aluminum\ncan be made from only one ore,\nbauxite, and this ore is to be found\nm few places, and is rapidly being\nexhausted There is no doubt, however, that in a short time we shall\nknow how to extract the aluminum\nfrom ordinary clay, economically-\nthen every clay-bank, will be a-mine of\n^ijgr-^de ore' every bit of slate will\nyield its precious prisoner of pure\naluminum, which it has so jealously\nguarded .for untold ages\u00E2\u0080\u0094and then\niron, with its rusting, its crystallization and its queer-eccentricities, as\nshown when in the form of steel, will-\nbe displaced by its peerless \" youne\nrival, aluminum.\nCarless About His Money.\nProf. Lombroso, the famous Italian\ncriminologist, was extremely willful\nand, although he asked advice of his\nfamily in everything, he always acted\ncontrary to it. When advised to put\non dress clothes, for instance, he donned a lounge suit. His indifference\nto money was proverbial. When he\nwent out he usually put banknotes\nin the same pocket with his handkerchief, and when he drew it out\nthe notes were frequently lost. Having on several occasions found himself without money through this habit,\nthe professor used to put banknotes\nin all his pockets, so that if the contents of one were lost he\u00E2\u0080\u0094and his- pet\ncriminals\u00E2\u0080\u0094would have a reserve fund\nto draw upon. %\nThe Peach Legend.\nAlmost all fruits and flowers have\ntheir legend. One about the peach\noomes from Japan and tells how a\npoor, pious old couple were searching\nfor food by tlie roadside. The woman\nfound a peach, which she would not\neat of, though starving, till she could\nshare it with her husband. He cut it\nexactly in half, when an infant leaped\nforth. It was one of the gods, who\nhad, he said, accidentally fallen out\nof the peach orchard of heaven while\nplaying. He told them to plant the\nstone of the peach, and it brought\ntbem happiness, friends and wealth. -\nThe Actor's Share.\nA musical comedy or oomic opera of\nthe first class averages a cast of about\nseventy-five people, while I suppose\nabout seventeen is the average number for a dramatic company.

R. Anderson, in bulletin\nissued by the government, goes\nlargely into the question of manure\nand fertilizing the soil.\nBarnyard manure, he says, is far\nand away the best all-round fertilizer for any kind of soil. Not only\nis it as near a perfect fertilizer as\ncan be obtained naturally, but the\nfact that it is a means of placing\nhumus in the soil, which is being\nconstantly exhausted, alone places\nit in the front rank of fertilizers,\nam an advocate, he continues, o\nplacing it on the land fresh day by\nday, provided the conditions are\nsuch that the most valuable con\nstituents of the manure will not be\nleached out of the soil. If this is\nimpracticable, then the best plan is\nto place the manure under cover,\nspreading it so that it will not heat,\nand allow calves or other stock to\nrun on it. By those means the rain\nwill not. leach it out, and by spreading over a larger surface it does\nnot heat and so deteriorate in\nquality; moreover, such a shed\nforms an excellent open-air space\nfor stock. Other authorities advise\nwell-rotted manure as being the\nbast form in which to apply it\nto the land for an apple orchard.\nFrom all points, I have faith from\npersonal experience in the application of manure fresh from the\nstable. In any case, whatever plan\nis adopted, the greatest care should\nbe taken to prevent the manure\nfrom leaching out and heating,\neither being fatal to its highest usefulness.\nUnleached wood ash is another\nvaluable fertilizer for fruit trees.\nUnfortunately, however, in British\nColumbia, the preportion of conifers is so much in excess of other\nwoods that good wood ash is not\nobtainable in any quantity, coniferous woods making but very little\nash, and that of an inferior quality.\nAll wood ashes, are however, valuable, and should be carefully preserved from rain and applied in an\nunleached state to the surface of\nthe surface of the ground near\nfruit trees.\nA word here of warning as to\nthe placing of fertilizers about trees.\n1 have frequently noticed that manures are heaped about the trunks\nof trees. A little consideration will\nshow the fallacy of this method.\nSuch a practice really does more\nharm than good, inasmuch as it\naffords shelter for vermin, field\nmice, voles, gophers, etc., which\ndestroy the bark of the trees, but\nthe fertilizing elements contained\nin the manure are wasted, as they\nare leached out into the soil, and\nnever reach the feeding portion of\nthe roots. What is meant by the\nfeeding parts of the roots are the\nsmall fibres which extend a long\nway from the trunk. These fibres,\neven in small two-year-old trees,\nmay extend two feet from the\ntrunk, and it can therefore be easily\nimagined that in a five-year-old\ntree the distance may be anywhere\nfrom ten to twelve feet. It follows\ntherefore, that a clear space of\nseveral feet should be allowed all\nround the trunk of the tree.\nCommercial or artificial fertilizers\nso-called, are useful for replacing\nthe lost or wanting elements of\nfertility in the soil, but it must be\nunderstood that they do not supply\nhumus, without which the soil soon\nbecomes hard and lumpy. Therefore, in conjunction with artificial\nfertilizers, it is important that something should be done to put humus\ninto the soil, and for this purpose\nno better method can be advised\nthan the seeding down with common red clover, and turning it in\nthe second year. Clover not only\nsupplies the needed humus, but\nhas the effect of introducing nitrogen into the soil from the air, and\nsince nitrogenous forms of fertilizers are the most expensive, it is so\nmuch saved to the orchardist. The\nbest plan is to buy commercial\nfertilizers separately, that is, not as\na mixed fertilizer, as the farmer\ncan then apply them in the proportions he v/ishes. It is, of course,\ndifficult, perhaps impossible, to say\nwhat constituents the soil is deficient in; but ordinarily a fertilizer\ncontaining one and a half to two\nper cent, of nitrogen, seven to nine\nper cent, of available phosphoric\nacid, and ten to twelve per cent, of\npotash, will give excellent results\nwhen applied to orchard land in\nquantity ranging from 400 to 600\nlbs. per acre, but if a crop of clover\nhas been turned in, the nitrogen\ncan be omitted.\nProf. Shutt, in a lecture at the\nannual meeting of the Nova Scotia\nFruit Growers' Association, in Feb.\n1899, thus describes the functions\nof the three principal elements of\nplant food, nitrogen, phosphoric\nacid, and potash:\n\" Nitrogen is an essential for\nplant life. Its function, more par-\nticulaily, is to promote leaf growth.\nLeaves are very necessary to the\nwell-being of the tree, as they serve\npurpose of both mouth and stomach. The fruit also contains a certain amount of nitrogen. It is\nchiefly, however, for the development of the leaf, without which a\ngood crop of well-formed apples\nis not obtainable. Trees, in common with all plants, take their\nnitrogen from the soil in the form\nof nitrates\u00E2\u0080\u0094compounds formed by\nvarious influences and under certain conditions from the nitrogenous organic (vegetable) matter\nin the soil. The process is known\nas nitrification, and is brought\nabout by the agency of minute\norganisms (always present in the\nsoil) when the soil is in good tilth,\nwarm and moist.\n\" Phosphoric acid is contained\nin the mineral part\u00E2\u0080\u0094ash\u00E2\u0080\u0094of the\nwoody tissue in wood and leaves,\nas well as in the fruits and seeds.\nIt is not only necessary for growth,\nbut seems to have a special value\nin the maturing or ripening of both\nwood and fruit.\n\" Potash: this, of all the mineral\nconstituents, is the most important\nfor fruit trees, both large and small.\nThe well-being of the tree largely\ndepends upon an abundant supply\nof soil potash in an available condition. It forms by far the greater\npart of the 'ash' of the wood and\nleaves, and approximately one-half\nof that of the fruit.\"\nLime is not a fertilizer in the\nstrict sense of the term, its functions\nbeing chiefly in the liberating cf\nplant food, which is already in the\nsoil but in unavailable forms, and\nalso in the improvement of the conditions of clay, and hard refractory\nsoils. The quantity and frequency\nthat - lime should be applied depends greatly upon the condition\nof the land. As a general rule it\nmay be stcted that from half a ton\nto one and a half tons per acre,\napplied say every five or six years,\nis sufficient.\nANGLICAN\nSt. Michael and.

Heut_ on the Foreshore of\nthe Arabian Const at tho Southern\nKhtranee to th* Red 8aa.\nOn the foreshore of the Arabian\ncoast In the strait of Bub-ol-Mmideb,\nat tbo southern -cutrauci* to tho Red\nsott, stands a largo white houso concerning which the travelers to the far\neast may hoar a curious story. In the\nmiddle 0- the nineteenth century,\nWhen M. do Losseps after many difficulties had successfully floated the\nSues Canal company, the governor of\nthe British port of Aden, about 100\nmiles distant, was surprised one morning by the visit of u French squadron\nof very unusual size for that part of\nthe orient, which, having encountered\na terrific storm off Sokotra, had put\nIn for repairs.\nIn the mind of the governor curiosity\nwas at once.aroused as to the destination of so large a command, a curiosity\nwhich increased as he found it impossible to extract any further information from the French admiral or his\nofficers beyond the statement that\nthey were upon an ordinary cruise, an\nexplanation which the former was not\nthe least inclined to believe.\nFirm in the belief, therefore, that\nsome political move of great importance was afloat if not afoot, the governor, in order first of all to gain time,\ngave orders to go very tortoise-like on\nthe repairs and then set to work to\ntake tho Frenchmen off their guard by\ngiving a succession' of such entertainments as both his slender means and\nthe awful barrenness of the place\nwould afford.\nBut, though at the end of two weeks\nthe French and British officers had got\nupon the best of terms, the immediate\ndestination of the French squadron\nremained as much of a mystery to\nthe governor of Aden as before, and\nin spite of all possible delay the repairs were nearly completed.\nNow, it happened that the wife of\nthe governor possessed an Irish maid,\nwho had been receiving attentions\nfrom one of the French petty officers-\nattentions which the girl did not regard seriously. It occurred to the governor that by such means something\nmight be learned of his unexpected\nvisitor's plans, and a private conversation between the governor's wife\nand her maid resulted in another between the latter and her French admirer, by which it was discovered\nthat Perim island was the objective\npoint. -B \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ; ..\nAt this information the governor\nopened his eyes wide indeed, for, if\nthe Suez canal were cut through, Perim, as commanding the southern entrance to the Red sea, In the middle\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 of the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, would\nbe a place of great strategic importance, over which, without doubt, it\nwas the intention of the French admiral to hoist the tricolor.\nSecretly giving orders, therefore, for\na gunboat to immediately embark a\ndetachment of soldiers and steal away\nIn the night for Perim island, the governor then announced a farewell banquet and ball for the day but one following, a final, act of courtesy with\nwhich the French admiral would willingly have dispensed, for he was anxious to sail, but which he could- not\nwell refuse on account of the use he\nhad made ,of the British supplies and\nmachinery at Aden.\nSo the dinner and party In due\ncourse came off, the governor being in\nhigh spirits, because in the meantime\nhe had received the news of the occupation' of Perim, which under the circumstances would surely be followed\nby the longed for promotion, and the\nFrench admiral was equally happy,\nfor he hoped on the morrow to adu\nthe same Important little speck of land\nto the dominion of his own country,\nthereby covering his breast with the\nstars and himself wltb maritime glory.\nNext day, after an interchange ot\ncordial farewells, the French squadron\nsailed away to an apparently unknown\ndestination, until, when clear of the\nland, tbe course was laid full speed direct for Perim island.\nThen what were the dismay and disappointment of the French admiral\nand his officers when, on coming in\nsight of their destination, they beheld\nthe British flag flying and a company\nof soldiers drawn up to give them a\nproper salute. It is said the French\nadmiral was so mortified at being thus\noutwitted that he first flung his cocked hat overboard and then followed it\nhimself into the sea.\nBe this as it may, as Perim was\nclearly already occupied by the British, the only counter move which the\nFrench could make was to take possession of a strip of the foreshore on\nIthe opposite Arabian coast, where\nthey, built the fortified white house in\nquestion, but as the place was entirely\ni at the mercy of the guns on Perim ls-\n'land It was shortly abandoned, to remain to this day as a monument of a\nFrench admiral's undoing.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Exchange\nIn Honor of Minerva.\nTbo most notable festival at Athena,\nwas In honor of Minerva.
