FATE OF TWO ISLANDS.

Lovere of Brissago sro anxious- ly waiting to hear the fate of the two islands, with their beautiful |exotlo vogstation, passed by the stoamors from Loosruo to Brien- ago on their way across Lake | Maggiorɑ, says an Italian cor- respondent. For the Isola dei Conighi, as they are also called, have a history, and now that thoj Baronno Autoinetto St. Logor, thoir ownor, has become bank. rupt, speculation is rife as to the fate when they are put up to auction to pay her creditors. The rosorva price is

100.000 france for the two islands, and the Tessinois are all hoping that they will be bought by a nativo, purchaser.

In the larger isle, Isola San; Pancrazio, the Romans had erooted an altar to Venus, and in. 1131 Giovanni Moda founded al monastory there, dedicated to the saint whose name the island boro thenceforth. Later on, in 1570, at. tho instigation of the Cardinal Borromeo, the Pope suppressed the order of the Umillati, to. whom the two islands bolonged, with the result that tho monastery was closed.

After passing through different] hands, tho larger isto was rented}· in 1985 by a French company for the establishment of a dynamite factory which, previously crooted at Ancona for furnishing the dynamite used in the plorcing of the St, Golbard, had caused an explosion in that town. Tho Swiss communes on Maggiore, however, protested, and the factory was removed to a town in Lombardy.

Ten years later, the Baropna St. Logor bought San Pancrazio from a Brissago family, and Isola; Sant' Apollonia from the com- mune, and not about turning them into the idyllic spots they havo; bacomo.
