There is now imported a china water ing pot of about a quart in size, made iu white china, and decorated in colors and with gilt, which sells as low as $2.50. Of these a larger number have been sold.

One whole island has disappeared from the Pacific Ocean, and a party of of ficials from the United States Hydro graphif Office are about to start out in search of it. If it has entirely disap peared from the surface of. the globe they desire to wipe it off the maps and charts. If it has simply changed its location or if the position assigned to it has been the wrong one they will cor rect the mistake. Whatever may be the explanation the case as it now stands is a mystery, one of the greatest mvs teries of the year, and they propose to 3olve it before they return. The little body of land that has of late been the cause of so much discus sion in naval and shipping circles has long been known I j Morrell Island. For years it has occupied a place upon all well constructed maps, and many a sea man who has sailed the Pacific has tales to tell of this little island that has been seen rearing its rocky headlands far out in the great ocean. The history of Morrell Island has al ways been somewhat a romantic one. It has long had its place on the charts and has been reported as sighted again and again, but in captains' logs it has al ways been a question whether or not it had any actual existence. While not generally known, it is admitted in of ficial circles that there are undoubtedly a number of islands charted on the maps which exist only upon paper. MAP OF PACIFIC. The sailing vessels that first explored THE SETTLEMENT ON MORRELL ISLAND SAID TO HAVE BEEN BUILT BY GRATEFUL SAILORS. the Pacific were manned by small crews and carried aboard them the most im perfect of chronometers. In addition to this their investigations were urost care lessly made. For instance, on many oc casions they did not even stop when they came in the vicinity of land, but simply recorded, in the imperfectly kept log book, the fact that the vessel had sighted an island of such and such pro portions and the latitude and longitude in which the skipper imagined that he was sailing at that time. Another fact that has tended to make the Pacific chart more inaccurate than that of the Atlantic is that mirages more frequently appear in these waters. Cap tain Davenport, of the Hydrographic Office, does not hesitate to express his belief that many of the Pacific islands that are now charted will yet turn out to have been nothing more than mis takes of vision on the part of careless navigators. This seems to be the opin ion of other prominent naval officials who also admit that it is possible that such mistakes might happen even to-day, as it is the custom of the Hydrographic Ufiice to chart any island for the exist ence of which there is the smallest possi bility of fact, and tbo:i to investigate the reliability of the report at the earli est possible moment. The case of Morrell Island is some what different, as there is more reason to believe that at some time it existed m the Pacific. The island was discov ered and reported by Captain Morrell. of the whaling schooner Tartat, more than seventy-five years ago, and since that time it has been regarded as one of the possessions f the United States. According to Captain Morrell the isl and was first sighted in 29 degrees 57 minutes north latitude, and 174 degrees 31 minutes east longitude. He described the island as being extremely flat except on the south coast, where a high rocky cliff faced the north bound vessels. At some points the land was so low that the water must have entirely covered it 7 at high tide. Extending around it were reefs for about fifteen miles to the west and thirty miles in the southerly direc tion. The island itself was about four miles in circumference, and close to it on the east lay a smaller island, also surrounded by reefs. Another story goes further and says that there was once a small settlement upon the island consisting of a church and three dwellings; the church was erected as a gift to Providence by a grateful crew of sailors who drifted to the island after floating for three days in an ' open boat. OFTEN SIGHTED. Since that day the island has been re ported more than once, and the descrip tions have agreed well with the story told by Ca'ptain Movrell. Others have In the spring the birds are singing, , As thev build their summer home, Blades of grass and buds are springing O'er the mead the cattle roam. in the spring your blood is freighted With the eerms that cause disease Humors, boils, are designated Signals warning you of J;he3e.

Yon will find Hood's Sarsaparilla--Just exactly what yon need. seen the' "cliffs and the low lands anc the. protecting- guard of reef. Others have witnessed the sea fowl and sea el ephants that lined the coast when Cap tain Morrell first sighted it three-quarters of a eentury ago, and, as tue result, it is only within a comparatively' shorju time that its existence has been ques tioned. It was only a short time ago that Cap tain Cobb, of one of the Pacific Mail steamers, reported that he had passed over the spot supposed to be occupied by Morrell Island, and nad seen nothing of it or its reefs. Lieutenant Miller, of the United States flagship Omaha, could not find it, and Captain Gavarly, of the City of Pekin, could obtain no trace of the island, although he made a special effort to locate it while on his way from the Saudwich Islands to China. Still later several inquisitive geogra phers who met at Honolulu- chartered a vessel and went out to look for it, but, like all other recent investigators, they failed to find the land of which they were in search. At present the officials of the Hydro graphic Office will not commit them selves to an opinion as to whether the island ever existed or was simply an other instance in which uavigators have been mistaken by a mirage. If the island was of the nature de scribed -by Captain Morrell, it was proba bly of volcanic origin and may recently hare sunk beneath the waters of the ocean and completely disappeared, or it is also possible that the discoverer may have been mistaken in his latitude, in which case it is possible that he may have been some hundreds of miles to the northeast of the spot in which he imag ined himself to be. If this theory is correct it is not impossible that he may nave mistaken Bryce or Pearl Island or -ome one of the Midway Islands for the quo, that he described. While such a mistake would be scarcely possible to day, with our more perfect instruments, the navigators of half a century ago made even greater errors. OUR CANDIDATE FOR TREASURER. President L. L.
