hunting in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe
without bagging any game, came upon
a mountaineer who was feeding q

another TO the cats neck. and then

The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from tho interior of the
cabin. leveled his rife across the win

away. The wildcat gave a joyful yell
and disappeared in the forest. The

Though scientific progress has made
1t possible to do double journey be-
tween England and America in fort
night there remain many islands with
which 1t takes years to communicate.
Off the Scottish coast are the
groups of islands known as the he
brides, Orkneys and Shetlands. or
these the most isolated island Is st.
Kilda, some three miles long and two
miles broad. The inhabitants lead
lives of great loneliness, for 1t takes
a month to get to the next island,
and the sea often makes any COM
munication with st. Kilda impossible
for months.
The group of eight Phoenix islands
in the Pacific has total population of
only 1853, while another little bit OF
the British empire is Tanning island
This is landing place for the Pacific
submarine cable, and usually there
are about one hundred people in the
place.
The loneliest OF all parts of British
territory Is the Island of Tristan Da

is also the smallest Inhabited island
