Rose at the age of thirty, in 1871.

Mr George Clunies Ross was a man pre eminent in courage, capacity, and tender. neas, and hie island home, of which he was the proprietor as well as the, chief, is a veritable Utopia Coined money is 20- known there, for the parchment notos of George Bons are the sole medium of ex change; crime hardly exists, and, without polico or military, perfect order prevails.

Mr Ross was the most benevolent of despots, with the power of life and death over six hundred or soven hundred sub- jecta. His domain was an enchanted and, where the ruta club trees and nibble the coconuta, whura tho giant land crab scattles to and fro brandishing claws of such formidable character that it can aip through wire netting ne easily as call a man with cutting pliers, can tear up tin with case, and break with its great pincers the wooden bars of a cage that would serve to imprison a large wild animal

to the mata-thereby hangs a story Until a few years ago not a rat was seen in Cocos But a ship was wrecked off the

islands and the mata awam ashore,

They increased et sach a rate that they became a Duimace and caused a tremendous loss by spoiling the buds of the coco-aut, which aro extremely tender and are spoiled' im- mediately anything touches thom.

The King of the Cocos Islands, therefore, andonvoared to exterminare the rodents, and at last he imported cata. Bab the cata did not do their work at all The trouble of catching the rata "was apparently too much for them, and floding a delicions shell-fish on the shores which they liked much better, they within 'n abort time became large and wild, and, in fact, a to mendous nincs, so much so that now the islanders have not only the trouble of rate, but ning of asta.
