It is iiol generally known that Juan Fernandez -the island on which Al exander Selkirk, the Kobinso Ciltso of romance, lived for so many years j is nt the present time inhabited. Two valleys, winding down from different directions, join a short distance back , from the shore, says ilie Melbourne Argus, mid there now stands a little ! village of small huts scattered l oan I along, one-storied building with u veran la running its w hole length. In 1 this house lives the man who rents the island from the Chile. in government, J and ihe village iH made up of a few ( ii-r iniui and Chilean families. j 'The tiny town is called Sin Juan i r.aiitsta, and the crater-like arm of the sea on which it is situated, is now I culled Cuiiiberlaii ) liiy. The island : is rented for about 1,(IUI) a year. The rent is paid partly in diied lb.li. Catching aud dry ing the many varie ties of lisli aud raising cattle and veg etable w holly occupy the contented settlers, and much of their little in come ia obtained from theeittle and vegetables sold to pas. in g vessels. The cattle need no care an 1 the vegetables almost grow wild. Turnip', and rad ishes, first sown here by S dkirk him self, now grow rank and wild in the valleys, loke weeds. There is also it race of wild dogs which completely ''Veirun the island, depending for ex isteiu'e mainly upon seals. They descendants of a breed of dogs left by the Spaniards. At the back of th" little town, ir, the fust high el ill", is a row ol cive of remarkable appearance hewn into th i sandstone. An unused path leu Is to them, nud a short climb brings on- to their dark mouths. About forty years ago the Chilean government thought that a good way to get rid of its worst criminals would be t transport them to the island of du in Fernandi ., Here, under the direction of Chilian soldiers, these poor wretches wore made to dig eaves to live in. iulS'il they were taken back again, however, and the caves ha e since been slowly crumbling away. The narrow ridge where Selkirk watched is now called "Tho Saddle," because at either end of it a rocky hummock rises like a pommel.
