It has been divided by writers into three sections: A large pasture fleld, where several million domestic animals (sheep, oxen, asser and camels) feed; a small cereal field, where inter alla, barley and tobacco grow, and lastly, a beautiful garden, Artesian Wells France is carrying out a wide hy- draulic policy through which many wells have been and are being dug. These are known by the natives as "Friendship Fountains" and have con- quered the Saharan tribes far more easily than could have soldiers and guns and turned the deserted region into fruitful lands the products of which are known to the world at The first French artesian well was in 1924 in the small oasis of Raler on the wa, from Biskra, the famous winter resort to Tuggurt and -the great desert market lying on the main camel tracks. When opeued,«it gave an output of 20,000 litres a minute. The most famous oasis is found at Auargla, a small town inhabited by Arabs and Negroes and lying 850 kilo- meters south of Algiers. This oasis includes nearly 1,000,000 date trees ine closed in beautiful gardens, Two hun- dred and eighty kilometers farther south is the small but very beautiful oasis of El Golea, lying in a romantic setting at the foot of a very old Ksar {castle) perched up high on a rock towering above the endless plain, Cost and Value of Dates That date trees are valuable re- sources to their owners is clearly shown by the fact that each tree costs from 800 to 1200 francs, according to the quality of its fruit and is con- sidered by all the Saharan people as a heavenly manna to be used as a daily food. Even camels are so fed when undertaking a journey of several cays over the sanC plains to the re- mote and meagre pasture flelds. At the present time, according to recent estimates, the volume of water obtained by artesian ells, both French and native, is about 200,000 liters a minute, irrigating an area of 800,000 hectares covered with palm gardens ylelding a yearly crop of dates worth 100,000,000 rancs, making the annual .xport of this fruit to France and foreign countries worth about 130,000 cubic quintals, or 70, 000,000 francs. -- Christian Sclence Monitor. me -- Some One So one came kuocking At my wee, small door; Some one came knocking I'm sure--sure---sure, .

Live Crickets London.~In the columns of the Lon- dom Times there appeared recently the following advertisement: Live house crickets, wanted for country housé; must be healthy, strong and loud chirpers; state price. Write Box Q 1348, the Times E. C. 4. The advertiser, a doctor, was soon traced, and he stated that the adver- tisement 'was inserted in an effort to supply a real want, as he had just bopght a country mansion of the old Elizabethan type, which was complete except for crickets on the Learth. "The house," he sald, "has fine old, open brick grates that ara just aching for crickets, Already I have prepared the homes of my new little friends. The holes are neat and deep. The rugs are before the fire and I will pro- mise that all the delicacies they like shall be showered upon them, Then, and ..ot till then, will my home be like home." This desire for crickets is no new fad of the doctor's, He, had an old house before, and when he first went there no crickets were in occupation. One day, however, he attended a poor patient who could not pay the fee, but in her house he heard crick- ots innumerable, "Send me a few," sald the worthy medico, 'and I will send you a receipt." The crickets arrived the next day and after boring holes for them around the fireplace the doctor fed them dally until quite a firm friend: ship had sprung up. "At first they would come out only after dark, but as time wore on they seemed to get to know the smell of my pipe, I think, for whenever I was alone in the room they would creep out and, sitting on the hearth at my feet, sing their little song till they could be hedrd all over the house."

King George V. for many years has been known as an expert shot, A light gun has been made especially for him and he now passes much of his time while at Sandringham shooting. His majesty's physicians have not allowed him to take part In any strenuous rid- ing since his recent illness. The Prince of Wales has given his attention to riding, hunting, piloting airplanes and playing golf. Almost every day before his departure for Africa he worked to perfect his game. He shoots in the eighties. Close observers of the Prince's game say -that his woods have im- proved tremendously in the last six months, but that his putting and ap- proach shots still lack the grace and assurance of a Hagen, Compson or Jones. His drives are straight, low shots which carry well and generally keep him out of trouble. He plays a cool, well-timed game In a serlous spirit. The Duke of York enjoys hunting, yachting and target shooting. Prince George is an ardent rider and an en- thusiastic golfer, but hasn't developed the technique of his older brother, the Prince of Wales, as yet. Prince Henry, who is following a life of ac- tive service in the army, has selected fencing and riding as his favorite sports, mm -- Minard's--The Great White Liniment rr A ace Japan's Place in the Sun Hong Kong Press: Rightly or wrongly, Japanese emigration has come to be regarded as synonymous with Japanese expansion--things not rily interd d but very frequently associated.
