WROTE OF LIFE AT HARVARD

Harvard graduates, the world over.

Quaint Island.

Finley, one of England's oldest
little islands, though only 4S miles
from London, is a parish where roads,
shops. lamps. telephones, motor cars,
public houses and postotfices are I'M
known. The island which lies off
the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, has an
area of about 1000 acres, and is the
property of Oxford university. The
inhabitants are mostly shepherds of
large flocks of sheep. The oldest man
of the village is in his SEVENTEEN year.
He has yet to see a motor car. The
school and church are the two chief
landmarks on the island. The rea-
son they were built in such sparsely
populated spot is that in winter it
is almost impossible to leave the
island, as the ferry which runs to and
from the island is dangerous.
A novel method of obtaining the
services of the ferryman, who lives
opposite to the island, is the open
ing of the white door Of hut facing
the shore. At night a lighted candle
held aloft serves the purpose of the
open door.

Rats Cause Losses.

Losses from rats in cities are enor-
nous. In 1908 the biological survey
made a careful study of rat infesta-
lions in two cities, Washington and
Baltimore, with the result that actual
losses of produce and other property
amounting annually to 100000 and
100000 respectively, were revealed.
These sums are aearly in ratio to the
populations. The WOman's Municipal
league of Boston recently announced
that losses from rats in that city
amounted TO S1,S5O.0O0 each year.
Losses in Pittsburgh, Pa, have been
estimated at over S1,OOO.OOO a year.

COMBAT WITH THEIR HEADS
CRATES Have Distinctly Peculiar
Method of Settling Differences That
Arise Among Themselves.

While the giraffe can hardly be
classed among the fierce duelists of
the animal world, yet animals of this
species are known to have their com
bats like their more ferOciOus fellows.
The long-necked beast has an original
and curious method of fighting. 1t has
neither claws nor beak nor sharp teeth
with which to defend or attack, so
its kind it does not fly in the face of
Providence by trying to diSembowel its
adversary, as rhinoceros might, or
tear it, as tiger would. On the con-
trary, the giraffe, knowing that it has
been provided by nature with long
and pliable neck terminating in very
solid head, uses the upper part of
itself like a fail, and, swinging its
neck around and around in way that
does immense credit to its organiZa-
ton, brings its head down at each
swing with thump on It's antagonist.
The other combatant uses precisely
the same tactics, and the two animals,
planting themselves as firmly as pos
sible by stretching out on all four legs
to the utmost, stand opposite to each
other hammerlng away with their
heads until one or the other has had
enough.
The head of the giraffe is furnished
with two stumpy, hornlike processes,
so that the animals when at this ham,
mer-and-tongs mode of warfare, re-
mind the spectator somewhat of two
ancient warriors humping each other
with the spiked balls they used to
carry for that purpose at the end OF
a chain-New York Herald.
