The Everglades?Once a Waste
Now Center of Sugar Industry
A dozen years ago the
Florida Everglades were
barren and unproductive.
Today they are the center
of a sugar industry which
provides more than 5,000
people with employment
and which spent over a
million and a half dollars
in 1940 for materials pur
chased in 19 other states.
The ten plantations of the
United States Sugar cor
poration spread over
thousands of acres of
these glade lands. These
photos show what goes on
during the harvest season
at Clewiston, Fla.
The girls at the left
look very industrious, but
they are only out for a
frolic in the sugar cane.

Isle of Cats
One of the queerest and most
desolate spots in the world is
Frigate, a low coral island 300
miles northeast of Mauritius, in
the Indian ocean. It is inhabited
solely by cats, the descendants of
two shipwrecked there some 80
years ago. They are large and
fierce, and exist mainly on fish,
which they catch in the most in
genious manner. They form a
circle on a dry reef reaching to
the water's edge, and at low tide
close in, driving the fish into shal
low pools and channels. Then
they pick them out and tear them
with razorlike claws.
In fine weather there is no dan
ger of their starving, for a single
drive may yield a ton of fish. Dur
ing violent hurricanes, when fish
ing is impossible, the cats fall
upon each other.

Good Are Few
The good, alasl are few: they
are scarcely as many as the gates
of the Thebes or the mouths of the
Nile.?Juvenal.
