discovery of a complete and curious

The island. which IS unlnhabited. Is
situated about 100 miles northeast Of
Pitcairn island-itselt sufficiently out
OF the way. but famous MS the home OF
the descendants OF the mutineers of
the Bounty.
There is no water on 1t. not even .
swamp. and it is only six miles long.
yet it harbogs quite meuagerle--a
kind of rat. lizard. described as very
abundant. and 10 fewer than four
kinds of birds. all peculiar TO the IS
land. These are a fruit pigeon, a lori
keet or honey eating purrakeet. little
rail or crake and reed warbler.
The strange thing about the inmates
OF this curious little natural aviary OF
coral rock. surrounded by waves in.
stead Of wires. is that two Of its inmates
are birds. one especially associated
with fresh water--the rail and the war

TO his leader. At last his patience
gave way. He pushed the mayor aside

his greasy cotton nightcap. with his
right lifted the horn spectacles from

nothing more to say. but that Caesar

The emperor laughed and inquired Of
the old man whether he had any sons.
Yes: four are in the army-two of
these in the guards Their names
were taken down. and the honest shoe
maker soon saw them raised to the
rank Of officers and found himself pro-
