chinchilias have been killed with i'm
runity in season and out of season in
recent years. AS a result they are
threatened With ;eytinction- ..,-
They are captured in various ways
but the ,t,cst Common method is to-
hunt them with dogs, the fox terrier
being the most useful and skilful in
their capture: TIE rapid externinatiort
Of the cninchil!a and tine absolute Luck
of protection or regula ton in taking
them has resulted in tremendous ad-
vance in the price of the skins in the
past TWO years. AS IN evidence of the
commercial interest in the fur produc-
cd by this little animal two American
and two French firms keep expert pur-
chasing agents in the field during the
shipping season-January to July
Coquimbo, Chile. is the chief port or
export. that being the port of shipment
for the E,livian product also. Last
year their were exported from Coquim-

most doutfc those paid in the Year
previous.
Nt the last Session of the Chilean
&c ofiSress bin was passed prohibiting
ihe killing OF chinchillas within Il ccr-
tnin Season ana providing penalties
for Violation of the law But the nat
nfaI ~ha"itat 'nf- the chinchi'la in the
Wilds Of the Andes mountains makes
dsfeeiioI and 7eeaNictions, for Violation
OF the E. law regulating their Killing dif-
fcult. and it seems probable that this
valuable producing animal, like
many other wild animals Indigenous
t" the forests ana mountains of North
and South America, is destined to early
extinction.

that remonstrance has been addressed
to the King, the hereditary defender
of the faith by which is meant, Of
course, the Protestant faith. But as
matter of fact his majesty has no au-
thority over Princess na either as re-
CARDS her choice of husband or Of a
religion. The daughter and sons Of
Princess Beatrice do not come under
the jurisdiction of the English royal
marriage act, and they are under no OBJ
legations to remain Professionals. Tho
they were born and brought up in this
country, their father was foreign
prince and Battenbergs are as much
outside British control as Hohenzoll-
erns. The asking of King Edward s
consent to the Spanish marriage is
more of complimentary matter than
one Of necessity. He is Princess Ena s
most important uncle and it sounds we'll
that he should be referred to as the
head of the family. To show that the
