thoinhabitants have been forced to M
for their lives.
Tropicisthree miles long and two miles
wide. and the soil is very fertile. A doaen
families have settled on the island and
sowed in growing vegetables for market.
George Butler, one of the settlers, has
lost reached here and tells a thrilling
story of the invasion and subjugation of
Tropic by the rats,
Up to a month ago according to Mr.
Butler, there were no rats on the island.
At that time the advance guard of the re-
dents arrived and were quickly followed
by others until in two weeks there were
fully 10,000 on the island.
The rats came from the nminiand,
which was only two miles away, and Mr.
Butler uiiirms that they swam across. He
says he has seen them coming out of the
‘wutcr by hundreds.
lnvadedthe Settlers‘ Homes.
At first the rats contented themselves
with attacking the vegetables, which
were soon destroyed. Then they invaded
the homes of the settlers. Tbc latter made
war on the rats, killing hundreds of them.
Mr. Butler says he has killed as many.
as l00 at one shot, but that. others would
rush forward and attack him, biting him
viciously on the logs
In spite of the slaughter the rats got
into the house and attacked the women
and children. Several of the latter wore
badly torn by the sharp fangs of the re-
dents. One baby was so severely bitten
about the face that its life is despaired of.
For three nights Mr. Butler says not a
soul on the island slept, as that would
have meant death.
At last the people in terror and worn
out tied in their boats to the mainland,
where they are new camped in a destitute
condition.
Mr. Butler says the rats pursued them
to the water‘s edge, and the women and
children were repeatedly bittcu before the
boats could be pushed oil. Ever-y vesiigo
of vegetation has been destroyed on the
island, and it rem-rubles u dcsm‘t.

Shakespeare’ 3 Seven Ages of Man.
‘1 I.
“Last scene of all.
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is as ccnd ehildishness: and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."
The seventh stage of man as depicted by Shakespeare differs from the last
volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica inasmuch as the old man is “sans every-
thing" while the last volume of the great Britannica is as full of everything as the
first. But even in his second childishness the fast fading old man can find much
amusement in the Encyclopedia, which has done so much to Educate him and
guide his steps through the seven stages of his life. The Britannica is full of
beautiful and interesting pictures—pictures of birds and fishes and reptiles, things
that children love to. look at. and which please the old man. now .that he has be-
come a child again. Who knows what reveries iloat through his brain as he seeks
again the stories and pictures he so loved as a child.
Your young men shall see visions. and your old men shall dream dreams,"
says the text,and the dreams of the old M AN are sure to revert to the many
fields of knowledge and usefulness and beauty that have been pointed out to him
by his faithful friend, the Encyclopedia Britannica. II: can be obtained new at an
outlay of ten cents a day, through American enterprise, but when the old man
was a boy the great book cost a small fortune. However, it has never failed . him
and has remained constant and useful amid the loss of friends and family and the
sad lapse of time.
Here Are the Eleven Words.
For the convenience of those who have not preserved the black faced type
wards which appeared in the seven nrticlce which Tun Summer. has just published
relative to the school children‘s cunts-5t. we reproduce them today as follows:
rm 1c. 13, Boy, war ), Will), TIME, TO, SI'GCEEDS, FATHER, READS,
MAN. .
These words do not make a very intelligible sentence as they appear above.
Let us see now who can arrange them correctly.
NOTE. ~11”: Evssmo Summer. has received during the past few days
numerous requests from school children, who claim they were not given an oppor-
tunity to register their names and addresses with us before the Subcol Children's
Contest began. They now desire to do do, and thus become eligible to compete for
these valuable prizes which 'l‘nrt Evsmso Summer. will award to some one. For
the benefit of;ail such we add below a blank slip which if filled out correctly and
mailed to the Editor of the Recording Department, Evssmo SENTINEL, by I) p. on.
Monday, August 12, and If the applicant is found to be a member of any school in
Falriield County, through a means which we NOW have of knowing. such names
will then be only entered upon the list of competitors. However, for the benefit
of these who may not have preserved the black faced type word, they can get the
back copies by wading to the Saarinen cities. New, fill out this blank and mail
It to us it once, if you have not already registered.
Remember that all those who filled blasts which were furnished to the
schools by 'lus Scanner. during the last week of school are not required to send
in their names and address again for registration. if they filled out a blank in the
school they may compete for the prizes.
