CATS AND WILDCATS.
Ferocious Felines That Make Havoc Among
 Weaker Animals.

It has taken about 20 years to pro duce the wild cats of Goat Island, the degenerating process eommencing soon after the lighthouse was estab- lished there in 1875. It seems that the first keepers brought number of cats with them, but with unrestrained lih- erty the animals gradually forsool5 the comforts of civilization. Goat Island is the home of thousands of birds and squirrels, and to this is probably due the temptation of the cats to forsalSe the keepers freside. At first the cats would absent themselves for days at time, but the kittens were born at home In time, however, they got over this, and lived altogether in the underbrush. After few years the descendants of the first cats were so wild that they were afraid of human beings and made their dens in the creyiees of the rocks.
 From that time the cats became wilder until now they are as ferocious as the terrible creatures of the noun tains. They have increased in size and changed altogether in disposition. They are always seen in pairs and appear to mate, as all species of the eat tribe do in the wild state. The cats live on squir- rels, quail and sparrows, as well as such other small animals as they can catch. They are supplied with water from a dozen springs in different parts of the island.
 In addition to other changes the wild cats have become hostile to such tame cats as are brought to the island from time to time. They will attack them on sight and never stop till they have killed their victims
 The chief destruction wrougbt by the wild cats is on the quail that inhabit the island. The "artful drummers,' used to be there in abundance. but are now pretty we'll thinned out. Tine cats are constantly on the alert, and not only kill every quail they can catch, bur often destroy whole nests full of young To prevent this the lightl1eepers are always on the lookout for wild cats and shoot every one that comes anywhere near the house. As a consequence tho cats keep some distance away, and thu quail seem to think they are safe in thaf locality, for there are more nests there than in any other part of the island.
 Many plans have been tried within the last few years to rid the island o1 the hungry, oarnivorous pests, out the more they are perseeuted with shot trap and poison, the more rapidly they seem to multiply.-San Francisco Call
