New York Independent, When the great French Emperor died in exile 1821 there was probab- ly a wish buried deep in his Corsi- can heart that the island which had J been the scene of his humilationy might be wiped from the face of {he seas. Whether or no such a curse was éver cust upon the island, it is cer- tain that St. Heéléma is. doomed, if not to extinction, at least to become an uninhabitable rock. - "With the advent of steam mnaviga- tion the island ceased to be a regul- ar port of call, so that its always scanty. exports dwindled almost to the vanishing point; plagues of in- sects destroyed its vegetation, rats, brought thither by foreign vessels, multiplied and overran the soil uun- til the government was compelled to dffer a'bounty of one penny for every rodent captured. npr The English garrigén, which had been practically the sole source of income to the inhabitants, was with- drawn and the needs of the natives became desperate. Then, as if this series of misfor- tunes was not enough, the termite-- that curse of tropical and semi-iro- pical countriés--invaded the island and will, unless controlled, reduce the city of Jamestown to a pulp of sawdust. . en you'll take it?" fon't say that, 1 will think it let you know in the morn- " over and ing."
