1s French Wealth DecreasingP


An eminent French publicist. M. De Fo-
Vile. has recently published the results OF
his inquiries into the progression Of the
wealth of France. and his conclusion thae
the rate of the growth Of money accumu!a-
,,on is beginning to exhibit signs of q de-
cline has stirred up comment throughout
Europe. This conclusion Is intimated rather
than directly stated. France has so long
.eemed to have an endless money reserve
that IL she is entering upon an era OF stag
nation. when the diminution of her re-
sources will compel her to refuse to lend,
there must be a corresponding read1ustment
of policies on the great european eA-
changes. .., :. ,,,o.

M. De Foyilles deductions from the lAtest

the data relating to the part that ne has

French statist.cians are properly the per-
sons to pass on the correctness of De Fo-
yflle's deductions. but meanwhile comment
ia made that the apparent decrease In
French wealth may be due to change IN
the feld Of investment, and that really
France has so much money that she Is In q
position similar to that OF capitalist VINO
invests with an eye to conceaiment OF MS
holdings from the tax collector.
Another line Of comment Ia that the popu-
lation of France Is so nearly stagnant that
no tnducement exists for the extension OF
home industries and her capitalists must
look abroad to turn" the money In their
hands French vital statistics certainly
lend plausibility to this theory. The popu-
lation has for long time remained De-
tween 3S coo 600 and 39.OOO00O. To clothe
and feed and house population that re-
mains so nearly stationary Is an oper on
almost as easily calculable as the ration'n g

Caribes are the most primitive Indians IN
southern Mexico.
Their clothing Is made of bark fiber and
bows and arrows are their only weapons.
The bows are five feet or more In length:
the arrows are well made and feathered
with bright colored plumage. By means Of
arrows having airing on them they manage
to stun birds SO as to take them alive, while
fish are obtained by means OF very long
arrows barbed all the way.

tribes. and they certainly are the handsom-

show great courtesy or respect they reply
to any question by singing the answer. using
any notes they wish.
