when irrigated, but irrigation is
not essentially necessary as good
crops are grown without. Some
irrigating canals are in use and
others are being made, but most OF
the crops are raised without irri-

in the valleys lakes and streams to
irrigate the whole valley, labor be-

larger population there is no doubt
extensive irrigation projects will
be launched and completed, insur-

The Worlds Rubber.

Rubber was introduced into Ceylon
in 1876. The trees growing from the
seed then planted produced seed in
1882. In 1888 the first rubber was OBJ
tanned, but in very small quantity.
The planting went on slowly until
1902. 1t is estimated that there are at
the present time 100000 acres of land
in Ceylon planted with rubber trees,
almost solely of the Para variety. In
addition, there are from $4,000 to co.
900 acres on the Malay peninsula,
practically all Of the Para variety.
The rubber plantations of Mexico
amount to about 100000 acres. contain
ing about 100000 trees. There are,
therefore at the present time about
275,0O0 acres planted in rubber, which
should eventually yield about 20,0G3
tons yearly-about one-quarter Of the
worlds probable supply.

A Roar From the Kaiser.

A Hamburg paper tells this story
about the kaiser's attention to detail;
Shortly after his arrival at Swine.
munde the kaiser was standing on the
bridge Of the Hohenzollern when he no.
ticed that the sentry, a member Of the
Stettiner royal grenadiers, on duty near
the customs officer, wore a topcoat
but had his trousers over bis boots.
The kaiser shouted to the lieutenant of
the guard, Lieutenant, when topcoats
are worn the trousers must be worn
inside the boots The officer, an ex-
nemely youthful fellow, became con-
fused and did not know what to do or
say, and the emperor called in louder
tones: Lieutenant / again call your
attention to the regulation. Boots must
be worn over the trousers by men who
wear tOpcoats.' The command then |
dew from post to post, and pedestrians
wondered why the soldiers suddenly
became busy with their boots"

RELIGIOUS CONFLICT IN FRANCE
Separation Of Church and State Has
Been Accomplished.

Been Accomplished
Paris, Dec. 12.-The conflict between
church and state, precipitated by the
passage Of the separation law, was
begun by a not altogether unexpected
move on the part Of the authorities.
Mgr. Montagnini, secretary Of the
papal nunciature since the recall Of
the nuncio, was arrested upon an order
expelling him from France. He was
conducted to the frontier. Soon after
his arrest the residence Of Mgr. Mon.
tagnini was searched by the police.
Immense quantities Of documents
found at the nunciature were seized
and taken to police headquarters.
A courier from the papal secretary
Of state, Cardinal Merry Del Val, bear
ing dispatches from Rome, was turned
back at the frontier.
Formal notice was served on Car
dinal Richard, archbishop of Paris,
and the bishops and parish priests Of
this department that they must eYao- |
uate their residences. Similar notices
were served on the clergy in the
other departments. notifying them to
leave their residences on Thursday and
Friday.
After meeting Of the cabinet min
listers, at which the separation law
was discussed, 1t was announced that
on December IA, Premier Clemenceau
will ask parliament to suppress the
pensions Of the clergy, to liquidate
the public property of Catholics and
to distribute the presbyteries, semi
naries, etc.
Among other measures the cabinet
to introduce in parliament on
that date a bill authorizing the gov
eminent to expel ecclesiastics whose
presence is considered dangerous to
the public peace.

Enormous Value of Utilized Wastes.
Thirty years ago for every ton of
finished product turned out by our
manufacturers there was from one to
several hundred pounds Of materials
which were thrown away as waste.
Not only was this so called waste
material considered vaIueless, but the
disposition Of it was often a source Of
considerable expense and annoyance
to the manufacturers. Owing to the
wonderful progress Of chemical knowl-
edge during the last quarter of CEN
fury and the constant finding of new
revelations and uses for substances of
all kinds a complete revolution has
been wrought in nearly every branch
Of the manufacturing industry. In
stead of this waste material being a
source of expense to manufacturers
the experiments of chemists have
shown how it can be converted into
products which have high marketa-
bic value and it is no exaggeration to
say that the value Of products annual
y manufactured out of materials
which thirty years ago were thrown
lway as waste today amounts to fully
'5OO,OOOOOO, a sum equal to nearly
even times the annual production of
,old in the United States.-Henry G.
Nicholas in Moody's Magazine.

Animal surgery has now reached
such high degree Of development that
almost every operation to which hui
man patients submit is made use Of to
prolong the lives Of pet animals. The
animal surgeon can reJuvenate the
aged dog by fitting It with a perfect
set Of false teeth, and he can substi-
tute glass eye for the optic lost by a
cat. Quite a number Of dogs and cats
which are minus a leg have been it-
ted with artificial substitutes, usually
Of leather, whereas in former days
they would after losing a limb have
been either killed or left to limp about
on three legs. In one recent case a cat,
having swallowed a small hatpin, was
placed under the X rays, and the pin,
having been located, was drawn out
by a skillful operation.

LIFE AT GREAT HEIGHT.
At What Altitude Is the Atmosphere
Fatal 10 Human Beingss


Fatal 10 Human Beingsf
How high in the air can man rise
without dying? Twenty years ago it
was thought that it would be impossi-
bic to breathe at an atmospheric altl-
tude exceeding 5000 meters or at the
most 1900 meters. 1t was supposed
that man would lose consciousness if
lie were to be carried about 5000 me-
tiers into the upper air A writer. Henri
de Parville in Les Annales of Paris
recalls the fact that two aeronauts

rable ascension Of the balloon Zenith
lost their lives from accidents produe-
ed at an atmospheric height of 5000
and 9,0C0 meters. Paul Bert proved
that repeated inspiration of oxygen
makes it possible to avoid fatal acct
dents in the greater heights of the air.
and three years ago Messrs. Behrlng
and Surfing at Strassburg reached the
greatest height ever attained, 10000
meters. Yet they inhaled oxygen and
tainted toward the finish Of the ascen.

heights, and it is important to remem-
Der that he arrived at the conclusion
that a man must respire oxygen min
gled with a strong proportion of car
bonic acid If he would successfully
fight the dangers of the rarefaction Of
air.
Inc theory was new, and it appeared
questionable, but it IS said to be cor
rect A pupil of Professor Mosso nam
ed AgazarOttD repeated the experiments
made by Mosso. He did not go up in a
balloon, but shut himself up in a bell,
where, by means Of pump, a grad

duced. In the bell was a faucet con-
Meeting with the outer air, and all the

race with mask furnished with two
valves. One Of the valves let out the
Titiated air, and the other let In Oxy-
zen mingled with carbonic acid. The
proportions were 81 per cent oxygen,
3 per cent carbonic acid and the re-
nainder azote. Within thirty minutes
he air was rarefied to a pressure Of
40 millimeters, which is about the
anne as the atmospheric pressure on
lont Blanc. The experimenter felt
othlng abnormal, but a few minutes
iter, when the rarefaction reached $50
there were symptoms of
sphyxia. Then the oxygen and car
