Then there are the gaming palaces -- casinos or kursaals --which dot the continent at various points. Perhaps the best known of all gamb- ling palaces ig the Casing at Monte Carlo.

It is situated on the Medi: terranean Sea just east of Nice and is surrounded by the French Department (or district) of Alpes-Maritimes, ex. cept on the seafront, The capital is Monaco, a seabathing resort and the seat of an international hydrographic bureau established'in 1921, This was started by Prince Albert, who had a hohby of studying the movements of deep-sea fish, plants, etc.; he estab- lished one of the finest museums of its kind in the world. The rest of the 370 acres is practically occupied by two other towns, La Condamine .(pop- ulation 11, 787) and, a mile to the east, the famous Monte 'Carlo (population 11,066) -- a collection of hotels and villas with the Casino established in 1860.

A small ivory ball is thrown off a re- volving dis¢ into one of thirty-seven or thirty-eight compartments sur- rounding it, and numbered 1 to 36 with one or two-zéros;: The players who have staked upon the number of the compartment, into which the ball falls, receive thirty-six times their stake; unless they have staked upon more than one number. Money is not used on the tables but counters of purchased from the cashier -and thrown on the green top, = At each end and at the sides of the long ta- bles sit thé crouplers, men who draw in the counters with 'small wooden rakes and otherwise assist the banker in charge of the table, Some of the tables have a minimum hazard of b francs while at others the hazard runs as high as 100 francs minimum, - Baccaret, the other favourite game, is played with cards, any number of participants playing. These players, or rather betters, are dealt two cards each by the banker, who deals two to himself and covers the stakes of each player with an equal sum. Payments are made on the scores of the cards, A Floral Falryland Monte Carlo is beautiful -- lovely gardens with palms and other tropical vegetation, the blue waters ot the Me- diterranean and balmy air attract many who are not interested in games of chance. Then there is the air of galety, band. concerts, dancing and Riviera nights -- beauty maintained by the tears and heartaches of those who are enmeshed in the lure of get ting something for nothing.

Termites -- Their Highly Efficient So- ciety Descri In Scientists' k "Termites ana Termite Control," a report of a committee organized by the University of California and the wood-using industries and has just been published by the University of California Press, Although primarily intended for biologists, architects, en- gineers, building inspectors and users Lof wood, there are chapters here as fascinating as any novel of adventure Strange as it may seem in view of the depredations of one kind of ter mite ($37,141,000 is their estimated annual cost) this is about the only ve- lume of its kind in print. Termites are not ants. They are more like cockroaches. In fact, ants are their deadly enemies. HABITAT OF TERMITES We usually associate termites with the tropics. They are common enough in the United States, ranging from the Gulf of Mexico to Michigan, and even further north, If we hear more of them than we used to--some of New York's buildings were eaten away by them recently--it is because of the advances of civilization and the greater use of wood, There are two major types of ter- mites, First we have the wood-dwel- ling species (some live in damp wood and some in dry) and secondly, the earth-dwellers, which do.most of the damage in the United States. In a developed colony there are re productives (a king, a queen and winged individuals called alates), soldiers and workers, not to mention nymphs or undeveloped insects in various stages. Unlike ants, each caste is niade up of males and fe- males A colony is self-perpetuating. If the queen and king die, substitutes are developed from ordinary menibers of the colony. CONTROL OF POPULA ATION The king and queen found the col- ony, They do not reproduce too rapid- ly at first because they must care not only for the eggs but for the young. When the young are able to do the housekeeping; the queen lays more rapidly. Both eggs and queen' are workers. Work means work in a termite col: ony. Boring tunnels, caring for eggs and young nymphs, feeding a 'help- less queen and equally helpless nymphs and soldiers, keeping the galleries clean and in repair, ventilat- ing every passage, regulating humi- dity--there is no end to the duties of the workers. The soldiers are "even more Sspe- cialized than might be. supposed. There are no cowards among them. In fact they are so constructed that retreat is suré to end in death. For the rear end of a soldier is soft and ""FYuinerable. But the front end! A strong box-like structure which can plug up a runway against an invader and which usually has enormous jaws tle to give an alarm. It is because of| Ww his huge fighting head the soldier is so helpless in peace. A tank must be fed with gasoline. A soldier termite must be fed too. His fighting is con- fined largely to ants. Out of -the head comes a poison. It is deadly. When the time comes for the re- productives to swarm in the nuptial flight, the workers open up the gal- leries. The alates press out and take flight in a cloud. Wings are shed, males and females (now kings and queens) pair off and seek new colony sites, Only a few survive the nuptial then cared for by newly" developed 8 with an irresistible crunch and a rat-| BH i A BIG in size BIG in favour BIG in value Chewing If you want an economical chew -- ask for BIG BEN THE PERFECT PLUG Tobacco flight, Puddles, birds, ants take their toil. Even those. that enter some chosen crack in wood, bore a cell for themselves and seal it up with plaster, have a hard time in. the first year, Those that do survive may live to the ripeness of. fourteen years, PROTECTION FOR WOOD What makes the termites so de- structive is their liking for cellulosé --wood, Especially wood invaded by fungi. The microscope reveals the protozoa in the digestive apparatus of termites breaking up wood in a form that can be digested. Without the protozoa termites would starve to death, All these facts about the ways of termites must be known if their de- predations are to be prevented. An architect must build with a kncwledge of chemistry and of termite habits, But they are expensive. Wood is still the cheap building material par excel- lence, If it cannot be kept from con- tact with the ground it should be treated with some unpalatable com- pound, SPRING IS HERE!
