History says it «as fought over for centuries by H’remb. Spanish, P.rltish. Dutch and savage Caribs and often deserted for scores of years at a time, the Detroit News recalls. The justice of Tobago's claim to be called Crusoe's island is unquestionable. De foe's bero was one Alexander Selkirk lu real life. That he was marooned as related Is on historical fact.

EUROPE TAKES TO -TYPISTS’
INDIA HOME OF TREE FERN
Business Men There Are Gradually Lr.ying Aside Steel Pen and Using Modern Methods Without a typewriter an American ollice would not tie an office, but a relic of a past age. But Europe has been writing with pen and ink. and Is just waking up to the typewriter, remarks the Golden Age. In Fra nee the courts are working on the problem whether a document sueli ns a deed or a mortgage is legal if written on a type-
writer.
The world war taught Europe many things, anioiig others to value the typewriter. Prior to the conflict the (ins portion of the American writing maeliine output that was exported was .'to per cent to 40 per cent; now it is 50 per cent. The machines would he going over the water mui'li faster If Europe could get the credits necessary to correct (he unfavorable conditions of exchange. When the great loans that are expeeted have been made, the situation will he Improved and a much greater volume of typewriter exports is looked for ns a result of the credits. Europe needs among other things modern office methods. She will he helped in effecting this Improvement, because the prices of writing machines have not Increased nearly as much as those of other products, partly perhaps lava use the prices were unduly high before the war. Improvement is the order of the day, and the tendency will become ever more marked as the golden age conies on. NEED OF SPECIAL TRAINING Youth Starting in Life Must Remem her That This Is an Age of Specialists. We are living today In the age of specialists in almost all lines and unless the young man who goes out to eai-n Ills own living is ih finitely trained In some one line, his chances of advancement arc negligible. It is true that la' ean earn good wages at the outset and can hope for a few advancements, hut unless ho tils himself by training, experieuee and study for something bigger he will soon find he Is in a blind alley Job. A boy does not always realize this: selinol life baronies humdrum to the lad bubbling over with fun and energy, mid for him to sit on u benrh with u hook In Ms hands, studying what seems to be uninteresting facts, Inipresses him as a real hardship when he longs to he nut in the world taking a place among comrades who have proved themselves independent. Tills is the place where the guiding hand of the parent is necessary. The j hoy inusl be made to miderslnild that | the training he is receiving now is I sharpening him for future opportun-i Hies.

In That Country the Plant Attains th( Dignity of a Splendid, FullGrown Tree. When we visit a botanical garder and behold specimens of palms and ferns so luxuriant that their crowns nearly touch the glass-domed conserv story, we rarely pause to realize that in their native haunts these trap leal plants are trees. At Darjeeling. India, for instance. Is the tree, fern found in Its greatest glory. The tirsi few miles ef the 2-foot gauge railway Journey from Calcutta passes through a dense Jungle, with a vegetation ot tropical luxuriance. Grass is 15 feet deep, cane stalks rise 50 and HO feet high, while from the feathery follagt of the tree fern peacocks and birds-of-purndlse lift their haughty head* in their topmost fronds. As one rum hies along in the little first-class carriage which weighs under two tons, he realizes that ihe tree fern and ah the other luxuriant foliage in this impenetrable jungle, shields the home of the tiger, rhinoceros, panther and
wild hog.
There are no tree ferns In the United States, but 80 specimens or more are found In the higher altitudes of the West Indies, and many more occur In other tropical regions. In some portions of the mountains of Jamaica, tree ferns form half nr more of the forced vegetation, their trunks varying from G to 50 feet In height.

BEAUTIFUL IN ITS COLORING
Green Warbler Remarkable Even Among American Birds for the Gorgeousness of Its Plumage. Some birds get very nervous and become uuieli excited if you approach their nests, and among them is the binck-tliroafed green warbler, says the American I'nre-Hry association. Another thing about this bird is that It frequently builds several nests. Whether Mils is because It changed ils mind after building the first, one and decided to select a better location or with the deliberate purpose of deceiving any intruders who might come along Is not known. The bird Is very beautifully colored, the top of its head ■'.nil the region nearly down to the shoulders being a yellow green, the hack olive green, the throat and hri as' jet Mink ami the under parts whit* with some yellow In them at times. If you are out bird hunting and are looking for that member of the warbler known as the pine warbler, you will he 11lost likely to find It, as the name Implies, In a pine grove. In fact It Is seldom found outside of sueli localities. The bird is rather quiet In its manners and docs not move about from one spot to another with ns much fuss ns do many birds. Like the creeper It has the habit of creeping about among the branches of the trees. It is greenish yellow above and brighter befow, with two white wing bars and with white spots on its outer tail feathers.
