PROGRESSIVE COLONY,

In spite of the efforts that are now balag made to piomate a wider intarast in what may be termed Empire education, it is but rarely that soy large section of the people of the Un- ited Kingdom have an opportunity of learning anything concerning the smaller 'dependencies of the Crown. The little group of islands in the Indian Ocean, koowa 18 the Seychelles Archipelago, is a casa in point, and it is ibere. fore interesting to record the latest laformation available on the economic condition of this sen-bound outpost of Empire, To indicata off-band its position on the map in an exercise that might prove litla pariling to the man in the strost, out of touch with bis geography; whilst to sccount, in 'mimilar fashion, for the fact that it has been a British passession for over a century it, probably, task that could only be adequately discharged by ane possessing the profundity of historical lors that distinguished Macaulay's schoolboy, Official recorda, however, tell us that the group:
