A further piece OF evidence
bearing on the mystery Of Napo"
Icons heart is the extraordinary
abundance OF rats in St Helena
at this period. The island was
a stopping place for ships on tAe
great ocean highway from Euroa
to the East The old wooden ships
carried many rats to the island
liking, and increased so rapidly
that they made life on the Island
miserable.
When Napoleon was exiled to
ST Helena many brutal references
10 the rats that would be his COM
panions there were made by his
enemies. There is an extraordi'
nary German cartoon in which
Napoleon is represented as attend.
ed only by the rats.
Napoleon's body was brought
back from st. Helena to Francs
In 1910 by the Prince ds john
vile. son Of King Louis Philippe.
The body was exposed TO view
for a short time. but there is no
known record Of any close examl-
nation OF the remains. The orig!-
nal tin box in which the body was
placed was preserved, but about
this was placed a coffin of iron.

OF ebony Around this last is the
great sarcophagus hewn out OF d
single block of Siberian porphyry.
which now meets the visitors eye
in the Chapel OF the Invalides.
The great Napoleon's tomb has
practically six coffins.
The mystery OF the heart has
been asitatod more than once since
then. In 1887 an EngIIshman
named Charles O'Squar. a friend
of Dr.. Carswell, wrote to Gen.

on his friends Memoirs The
French General on receiving the
request almost exploded with In

insulted, sent his seconds TO. the az.
dacious O'Squar. The sdair was
hushed up and the tomb remained
closed.

Cabauea are taking up the matter
in earnest They claim that ths
report OF the Prince de Jo!nville

heart will strike these Frenchmen
as sacrilege and a fraud.
The idea of the substitution is
not OF recent date. There are In
fact several references 10 1t In OLD
books of memoirs and recollectioDs.
The Memoirs OF Or. Charles
Thomas Carswell, an Enslisn
physician who took par in the
autopsy Of Napoleon, contain the
strongest confirmation OF the theory
Of Drs. Raspail and Cabanes. In
these Memoirs" under date OF May
G, 1921, the day after Napoleons
death, occurs the following passage:
"Dr. Antommarchl, assisted oy

cceded TO the autopsy Of Napoleon

DR.. Carswell further states:

entered, / could spy rat just de-

In another work there Is sug-
gestIon that the heart was lost In
an English book entitled, Narrative
of a Voyage of Observation Among
the Western Colonies" by Capt j,
Edmond Alexander, published In
London in 1861, the following pass
