Laid Desolate by, Strung Illicit, All Life Vanishes. Vashon, Wash., Sept IS. A freak of nature is proving of moe than or dinary interest to tourists as well as to residents of the Northwest in the shape of a large-sized island in Puget Sound, which is apparently dying from old age.. j Last summer it was observed that every fir and cedar tree on the island was dead. About the nater's edge vegetation seemed withered and thin vapor hung over the ishiud all day. Never inhabited and about ope hun dred acres in extent, the island has for years been noted for it i wonderful growth of trees. Trees three feet In diami'ter grew so thickly as to make travel impossible. Both cedar and fir flourished. The ownership claims on the Island have been in the courts for years, and thus the splendid timber was never logged. This summer theie is not a living thing on the island. Death alone stalks grimly over the trails worn by former denizens of its Cny forests, and not even a crow rests upon the topmost branches of the now dead firs. As the boat passes one hears a crash occasionally as if a great tree had fallen to earth. A scientist from York College, York, Neb., named Prof.-A. B. Crooks, ex plains that the land has soured. The growth of trees aud vegetation has been so rapid and dense ns to exhaust all plant life in the earth. The tree roots creeping through the ground in search for food have ente red the bed of the waters of Puget Sound and the salt has killed them. The other forms of plant life have died from the same cause. The thin vapor is the result of the rapidly decaying vegetation, ac cording to Prof, Crooks The scientist Is autho-Hy for the statement that the islanl will event ually disappear because tne absence of live trees will enable the action of the tides to disintegrate the land. Birds do not inhabit the trees be cause of the total absence of insects. Now the question arise whether from the same causes other islands in Puget Sound which are being held In tact for their valuable timber will die" also. Indians claiur that the Great Spirit has destroyed the island because of some great crime commit ted by a bad red man yean ago. ter of good roads, has impropriated five thousand dollars for the purpose of employing speakers, circulating lit erature, supplying expert ' engineers and road-builders to those counties and townships which contemplate im mediate road Improvemeirts and in other ways to carry forwasd this gen eral movement. Circular No. 4u, issued in the spring, was devoted entirely to an ex planation of the Atlanta .iournal-New York Herald good roads und reliabil ity contest and an effort to secure the proper co-operation of tho people in this movement an effort which prov ed highly effective. The latest of these circulars sets kncel's wine rortn trie plans ana purposes of the Southern Appalachian Good Roads Convention to be held In Ashevlile. and it is evident from the list of speakers and the subjects to which they will direct their attention, that it will be one of the most important conventions ever held in the interest of good roads. As pointed out by Secretary Joseph Hyde Pratt, State geologiat and sec retary of the North Carolina Good Roads Association, the first session will Ue held on the morni.ig of Tues day, October 5, in the auditorium at Ashevlile. An address of welcome on behalf of the city will be made by the mayor of Ashevlile, and an address of welcome on behalf of the State by- his excellency, Hon. W. W. Kitchin, gov ernor of North Carolina. Addresses will be made by Gov. M South Carolina, on good roai South Carolina; by Gov Malcolm R. Patterson, of Tennessee, on the value of good roads to Tennessee; by Con gressman John S. Grant, by Hon. P. St. J.

Madrid, Sept. 20. Don Carlos, the recently deceased Pretender to the Spanish throne, has left a diary of unique interest to Amerktns. At tho end of the last Curlist Insur rection, overwhelmed by" defeat and disaster he sought to divert his mind by traveling through the I'nited States and Central America In the strictest incognito. During that journey he kept a diary in which he set down his doings, reflections and experiences and commented on American life and Individuals. This was thirty years ago. Some time after his return to Spain he handed the bulky manuscript, care- tuny sealed, to a faithful adherent, Marquis Tamarit, directing him to keep the seal unbroken until he should order it opened Don Carlos never again teferred to the volume until a few months ago, when he said: 'Keep the diary.
