FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Wales has practically doubled its
population in the last 60 years.
Quails are now said to be extinct
in Ireland, where they were formerly
to be found in great numbers.
A German tourist reports that on the
upper Amazon river it is customary to
keep large harmless snakes about the
houses for the purpose of killing rats
and other vermin.
The Kobe Chronicle, speaking of the
imperial iron foundry Japan, says
that it has proved a fAilure because
of the limited supply of ore in that
country, and that the government
hopes to secure the privilege of work
ing the rich Hangang iron mine in
China.
There are SOC trees to every square
mile of territory in Germany, in the
following proportions: Plum, 1872;
apple, 251; pear, 119; and cherry, 104.
There are about three trees to every
inhabitant. Many of the trees are
owned by the townships, being plant
ed along the highways, and the fruit
yields a considerable revenue thus re-
ducing taxes.
The shortage of doctors in Russia is
the subject of an article in a St. Peters
burg journal, which publishes statis-
tics of the proportion of doctors in
other European countries per 100000
inhabitants. Great Britain heads the
list with $50, Switzerland has SO, Ger
many 30, and Russia s. In order to
bring the percentage to the same level
as Great Britain, Russia will have to
have 100000 doctors. At present
there are only about $1,000.
A highly colored sample of red tape
is sent over from England in the news
of the failure of Second Lieut.. Burke,
of the Fourth East Surrey regiment
of militia, to pass the medical eXamina-
ton for appointment to the regular
British army. Mr.. Burke served in
South Africa, and stood high on the list
of successful candidates at a recent
examination. In Africa he distin-
guished himself and proved the power
of his eyes by discovering that an ap-
preaching body of men was composed
of Beers and not of British. Yet when
the learned doctors came to examine
his eyes they reported them as bad
because he could not read by electric
light, in a London fog, the regulation
three lines of letters" and so his
earned commission is not to be given
to him.
