Most peculiar of these island groups
are the Seychelles, with their towering
mountains crowned with castellated
blocks of gray granite and even the val

tropical vegetation.

1t is a land of ease and plenty. Creoles
from Mauritius and Reunion effected a
settlement of the main islands about $50
years ago. In 1850 negroes were import
ed as labOrers from Mozam bique. Euro
peans, Indians. and Chinese have fol-
lowed until the population of the eigh-
teeen inhabited islands is about 200 of
all shades. most of them speaking the
French tongue, in spite of the 100 years
occupancy by the British.
This popularity of language dates
the French English treaty. by the terms
of which the British government was not
to Interfere with either the language Or
the religion of the people. So the Catho-
lie church is in the ascendancy, and
French is taught exclusively in the Cath
Ole schools. - ~
Until the English commissioners took
up the government of the Seychelles. FIR
acy was one of the evils or that portion
of the Indian Ocean. The British broke
this up, however. and for many years the
islands have been the home of the indo-
lent. Today the island industries are
fishing and the growing of tropical
fruits and vegetables. The cocoa palm
is one of the chief sources of revenue to
the island. Sugar cane. vanilla. cloves.
pepper coffee and sweet potatoes are
produced in great quantities.
Aldabra's great land tortoise is one of
the freaks of the islands fauna. There
are thrteen species of birds peculiar to
the islands. Rats and mice are great
pests. Beyond these there are few ami
mails.
Leprosy has footho]d in the islands,
and Cureuse has been set aside for
them. This disease is not marked by the
average visitor. but it is said that 10 per
cent, of the population is afflicted with
it.
