In his time, a little more than 200 years ago. the Pacific ocean was dotted with thousands of unknown, uncharted Islands, both verdure-clad and barren. .-u,. Recalls Selkirk's Isle. The profusion of these oceanic oases, especially In the equatorial region, and the fact that they wer^ not placed on any sailing charts, made it an easy matter to pick out a nice, lonely island as remote from the world of men as a corner lot on Mars. Alexander Selkirk, the original Robinson Crusoe, lived on the island of Juan Fernandez, 380 miles west of Valparaiso, fo¥ three years without seeing another human being. The story of the discovery and charting of the Pacific's islands is a fascinating tale, replete with romance and studded with the names of many doughty adventurers. Islands have been discovered, lost, and In some cases rediscovered. The Solomon islands, for instance, were lost for two centuries and then found again. Most interesting, however, are those phantom isles, sighted once or twice by mariners of sailing ships and then never seen again. A great deal of this island hide-and-seek was due to uncertain methods of determining latitude and longitttde at sea. The rest was due to the sighting of floating patches of marine life which, a( a distance, looked like islands, to submarine earthquake and volcanic action which might push a mass above the surface of the water temporarily, pnd to the ever-active imaginations of deep-water sailors. Thousand Phantoms Reported. Fifty years a&o, more than a thousand "tiny phantom isles were reported to freckle the Pacific's 70,- 000,000 square miles. The United States Hydrographic office, at that time, published a "list of reported dangers in the Pacific ocean." The list, In three volumes, contained over 3,000 reported shoals, reefs, and islands, most of them with the notation, "existence doubtful" or "position doubtful." To day, the majority of these reported dangers, especially the Islands, have definitely "disappeared." So have sea serpents and the other chimeras which pnee did the adrenalin act to adventurous sail* ors' hearts. Although possible, It Is improbable that other islands may be discovered In the vastnessj of the Pacific wilderness of wavesJ family of Racine, Wis., were Sunday Waukegan visited Mrs. Samantha r Let Them Be Firemen A woman can dress six minutet ffester than a man, according to a re cent test Again point with shame t< the collar button. ...
