barbarian invasion began settling over
Europe, it might have been expected
that any poets reputation would be
eclipsed, but Vergil was elevated into
sort of cult of superstitious awe.
This was largely due to the ambiguous
wording of the Fourth Eclogue."
which the early church fathers took
to be a prophecy of the Messiah. They
ascribed all sorts of magical powers to
him, and noted that his mothers name
was spelled Magia, which must have
had something to do with magic. they
thought; and finally changed the SPELL
ing of his name because it must have
been derived from virga, a magician's
wand. So insistent was this idea of
Vergils magic power that common
custom grew up of turning to his
pages at random TO secure some
prophecy of the future from whatever
line might first come to sight. Many
stories are told of people who have
consulted the "Vergilian Lots" as they
were called. Charles the First of Eng
land is said to have sought some con-
ISOLATION for his broken fortunes be-

CURIOUS COLONY.

COME time ago more than 300 fair
- haired. blue-eyed people were dis
covered on little island east of Java.
All their neighbors belong to the Malay
race, and they themselves speak only
Malay; yet each newborn child in the
colony is as pink and white as any
baby born in the OccidenS. How did
they happen to be living there?
1t was not easy for them to give an
account of their origin, but the records
OF the Dutch East India Co. on being
investigated showed what must have
happened. In 1865 the company, which
in those days conducted its business
as If 1t were government, landed eight
Dutch soldiers with their wives on
little isle of KisSa. Under a sergeant
by the name of Kaffyn, they were to
guard against the poachings of the
Portuguese, from whom the Dutch had
taken many possessions in the East
Indian Archipelago Then the little
colony apparently was forgotten. The
records of the company show nothing
further concerning them
The. story of the original settlers has
been brought down from one generation
to another. Since their landing more
than two centuries and half ago only
four generations have been born on the
island. Kaffyn. the present chief of
KisSa, Is the MISREPRESENTATION of
the original Sergt. Kaffyn. who was in
charge of the squad that landed there
When the little group had eaten itself
out of provisions and found that no
ships were Akely to land there any
