Within the last few years English
people have discovered that the in
terror of the Malay Peninsula is full
of rich tin ore. The Chinese knew
this hundreds of years ago, and ac-
tually made road all the way, down
from their own country, q distance
of over 1000 miles. Thousands Set
tied around the mines and worked
them, and to-day there is a little na-
ton of Chinese in the peninsula, in
whose hands is most of the commerce
of the country.

The first census returns which
have come in show that the most rap
id growth of the last ten years has
been in the border land about the
big cities-just outside the heart of
the town, but not far enough to be
in the country. The trolley car is
probably responsible for this develop
ment. 1t has made possible the thick
peopling of land which was formerly
too far out for the homes of persons
whose daily work was in the city.

Austria is the one country in the
world which never puts a woman in

kept there during the time for which
she is sentenced. The convent is
not mere prison in disguise, for its
