Rata, Cata and Foxes.According to a Canadian newspaper, some time ago rats from a ship that went down off Sable Island, near Nova Scotia, succeeded in reaching the shore, and soon multiplied to such an extent as to become dangerous to the settlers. When they had well nigh destroyed the food supplies on the island, the settlers imported some energetic cats, which kept the pest in check until a passing ship left a pair of foxes on the island. That was fatal to l»oth rats and cats. Soon foxes overran the island in every direction. They killed not only all the rats but the cats as well, and at the present time the government is considering the advisability of an active crusade against -them.
