A Curious Geological
Colony.

Investigations recently made on
the little known and rarely visited
Henderson or Elizabeth Island have
led TO the discovery of little col
ony Of geological total abstainers.
The island. which is uninhabited,
is situated abJAt I2O miles north
east OF Pitcairn Island-itself sut-
fciently out of the way, but famous
as the home OF the descendants of
the mutineers OF the Bounty.
There is no water on It, not even a
swamp, and IL Is only six miles
long, yet il harbors quite a me-
nagerie-a kind Of rat. a lizard, de-
scribed as very abundant, and no
fewer than four kinds Of birds, all
peculiar to the island. These are a
fruit pigeon. a lorikeet or honey
eating parakeet, a little rail or
crake. and a reed warbler. The
strange thing about the inmates Of
this curious little natural avlary
Of coral rock. surrounded by waves
instead Of wires. is that two of It's
inmates are birds especially
associated with water-the rail and
the warbler. Yet it is evident that
these. like the rest. must do with

claims that since there 10 no en-
EaEement with the first young

tions from both. N. C.

But the case as you state II seems
TO indicate that there is reason
