Where Gannets Swarm.

One of the most remarkable sights in
the world is Bird island, in South Afri-
ca, for the reason that during some
months Of the year it is literally COW

thousands Of gannets strut around, and
they are so close to each other that the
whole island seems actually alive,
Those who have seen this sight say
that it is one which can never be for.

the minority maintained that it was a
guinea pig. Then. as the police inter-
rurted discussion by clearing the car
tracks. a large negro dropped from the
back Of truck, seized the animal and,
mounting the cart tail once more. held
his prize aloft, grinning from ear to
ear. "Dasser possum," he said and

no nude bathing in Keegan's lake. and
he desires to have the fact proclaimed to

pers were found to be faulty the boys
were ordered released.
