Island Has History, ' The Isle of Man, the little island with a long history, with a constitu- tion all its own and many jealously guarded rights and privileges, set in ihe midst of the Irish Sea, almost sguidistant from the three kingdoms, %as had its own troubles during the war. In the days of peace these three kingdoms supplied the island, all summer long, with copious streams of 'visitors. They came for the day, arriving on one boat and Boing back on the next. They came, above all, for the week end, a long week end or a short week end, and many of them came to stay for weeks and months together. But the war, which discouraged holiday making anywhere, discouraged it especially in the Isle of Man, The Government wanted the ships, for one thing, and, for another, there were the sub- marines. Y All that, however, is now a thing of the past, and Manxland+is be- stirring itself for the coming of the yisitors once again. And they will surely come, for a visit to the Isle of Man has for many people an inde- finable charm all its own. It is much more of an undertaking, much more of an adventure, than any mere rail- way journey. The Manx boats are Guite big boats; the voyage from the nearest mainland quite a consider- able one, some fifty or sixty miles or more, whilst the Irish Sea is often no mill pond. Then there is all the quaint charm of the island's inde- pendence, its famous Council, its House of Keys, its Tynwald Court, and its long story full of "little great events," stretching back into that grand time when anything might havé happened, when Baetan MacCairll was King of Ulster, when Columbia was setting sail with the faithful twelve from Denny to Iona, and Augustine was plak#ning his Journey to Kent. That was the Celtic period, for historians divide the story of the is- land into three periods. In the first of these the Isle of Man was in- habited by a Celtic people. The next is marked by the Viking invasions and the establishment of Seandina- vian rule, The third period is that of the English dominion. But in all three periods, up to a hundred years ago, Man went through troublous times, The kings of Norway, the kings of Scotland, the kings of Eng- land, the Roundheads, and the Cava- liers, all in their turn, fought for possession of the island, and all in turn did possess it. The island actu- ally fell to the British crown in 1399, and, in 1406, Henry IV made a grant of it to Sir John Stanley, "his heirs ahd assigns on the service of render~ ing two falcons or paying homage and two falcons tg all future kings of England on heir coronation." So the Stanleys became lords of Man, afd after they had reigned in it for more than 300 years the soversignty of the island passed, in "1736, to James Murray, second Duke Atholl, and, from the Atholls, hav- ing meanwhile become 'a terrible place for smugglers, it was finally taken' over by the British Govern ment, That was in 1828. The an- cient laws and tenures of the island were not interfered with, and ever since the final settlement of 1866, when a measure of home rule was confirmed to the island, Man has been prosperous. It is a place of "singular beauty, a land of mountains, hills, and glens, with the sea never very far away. And the hills are always strangely soft in outline, clothed in green to the summit, whilst all the coast, from Peel round wy the Calf of Man, past Castletown and Douglas to Maughold Head, near Ramsey, presents a picture of rugged 'grandeur which becomes a treasured memory to those who have seen it. Pretty Little A Great Life Saver. No invention did more to defeat murder than that of Lieut. GC. D. Burney, of the royal navy. It was he who hit upon an idea which made the German mines which were scat- | tered broadcast useless, and thus sav- ed the lives of hundreds of sailors and prevented the loss of a large number of warships. - J Simplicity itself, the device--which is a beeret official patent, and is known in the service as the "PV." or "para :3e"---consists of a 'water- plane shaped like'a torped., having a pair of large flat fins projecting on either side of its body. The tail is fitted with rudders to keep the tor- pedo at any set depth while it is in operation. It is towed overside by a wire rope which runs from the ship's bows out- ward. This wire rope is intended to pick up the mooring ropes of mines and slide them along till they reach the nose of the paravane, where a sharp saw is fixed inside a V-shaped slot. : : A : The saw cuts through the mooring rope and allows the niine to 'float free, when it can be either avoided or destroyed, as may be desired. Burney has been paid the sum of £30,000 and decorated various honors.--Tit-Bits. em -------- Long Gage's Cash 'Grocery. Cor.Gore and Wellington Sts.
