Georgia Refuse* Pay
on War-Looted Bond
Atlanta, (in.—A man in Cali-
fornia, who holds a state bond
of 1AM, will find he holds a
Joker, State Treasurer William
,t. Si»encer has announced.
The seventy-two-year old bond
was presented at the capltol
with claim for payment.
The treasurer will not pay,
and will Remand the return of
the document as stolen property
which, he asserted, was taken
by the troops of General Sher-
mun ha the famous march
through Georgia.
Also, It Is not a res! bond, In-
asmuch as It was not Issued,
the treasurer aaid.
Washington.—Le Marlnlere, said to
be the last French convict ship, sailed
out of La Rochelle recently with 840
convicts destined for Incarceration on
Devil’s Island. French Guiana.
Recently, also, Mexico dispatched a
noted criminal to Its lonely codvlct
island, Maria Madre.
Russia has started air service be-
tween Kem and Solovelskl island In
the White sea to transport prisoners.
The famous monastery on the island
has been converted Into a prison.
“These three incidents show that
the practice of maintaining convict
colonies In the world’s loneliest
places has not entirely been given up,”
says a bulletin of the National Geo-
graphic society from Its headquarters
at Washington.
Famous Penal Colonies.
“Devil’s Island, Marla Madre and
Solovetakl island are (n very mixed
company historically. Virginia, 8t
Helena, Funchal, Monte Christo, Si-
beria, the Seychelles, Australia, New
Caledonia, Andaman Islands, Tasma-
nia and Sakhalin have all been penal
colonies for more or less distinguished
prisoners.
“St. Helena, Funchal and the Sey-
chelles are royal prison Islands. The
others In their time served for com-
mon criminals or unlucky politicians
When Elba failed to hold Napoleon he
was placed on St. Helena, well toward
the middle of the 8outh Atlantic, out
of harm and oat of the shipping lanes.
That was In 1815. He died in 1821.
“Fnnchal in the Azores and the Sey-
chelles on the east coast of Africa
north of Madagascar are more recent
prison stations. In Africa the British
occasionally find It expedient to ab-
sent certain native rulers from their
subjects So, when Prempeh, king of
the Ashanti on the Gold coast, spilled
too much blood, they sent him to so-
journ In the soothing climate of the
Seychelles Prempeh, after twenty
years, returned to his people, so ap-
parently he did not like the asylum.
But the English did, so they sent
Mwanga, deposed ruler of Uganda, to
Join him and then Kaharega of Un-
yoro, Sayyld Khalid of Zanzibar and
Baud Zaghul of Egypt. The Sey-
chelles detention was not nearly so ef-
fective In the case of Zaghul, who Is
now the leader of a popular party In
Egypt. To Funchal was sen(_ the de-
posed emperor of Austria-Hungary ltn-
|mediately following the end of the
t1 World war. He died In exile. His
Iwtfh and children are now in Spain.
Teurlsts Visit Chateau d’lf.
“Chateau d’lf, the castle In which
the hero of Dumas' novel, ‘The Count
j of Monte Christo,’ was confined for
1114 years, now receives tourists from
Marseilles. Curiously, Monte Christo,
.where Morel went after his escape,
>was also a penal colony Island for
many years. Monte Christo is owned
by Italy. It lies off the coast from
Leghorn and about 25 miles north of
Elba.
“Csarist Russia, for a time, sent
18,000 prisoners to Siberia annually.
Much of the famous Trans-Siberian
railway wai built with prison labor.
The chief horror of Siberian exile was
the knout By It or by terror of It,
guards kept prisoners docile. The
bundle of the knout Is a heavy wood
■flak, 18 inches long. Fastened to It
Is a thong of rawhide. About eight
feet from the handle the thong Is split
In three parts. These streamers are
three feet long. The ends are tied
Into hard knots, although lead or iron
hooka so me times were used..
“Preparatory to administering the
knout the victim was tied face down-
ward on a rough table. Close to_ the

knout wlelder stood a clerk with a
book In which he checked the number
of strokes as that worthy swung them
and called them. For the first 25
strokes the skin was marked white by
the lash as If a chalk mark were
drawn on the flesh. After that the
thongs began to cut through. When
a knout sentence called for 100
strokes the last one was usually omit-

baked, which is a more digestible
form.
