LIVE IN CAVE HOMES
FRANCE THE LAND OF MODERN
-. TRoGLoDYTES
Considerable Portion of Population in
Some Districts lnhabit Homes
Hewn Centuries ,Aeo-Some
= Extremely Comfortable.

New TYork.-Most persons will be-
surprised to learn that France is re-
garded as land of troglodytes. But
they are not barbarians or savages.
On the contrary, most of them are in
dustrious and thrifty folk who have
utilized most intelligently the special
conditions which enable them to pro-
vide comfortable homes for their fam
lilies at minimum cost.
Cave jewellers form an important
proportion CT the population in some
districts of the center of France. This
type of habitation is found hewn out
of the chalk on the French coast of
the British channel and also in other
districts of northern France. But
these cave dwellings, are not to be
compared in numbers with those in
central France, and especially in the
middle basin of the Loire, where the
groups of troglodytes are most dense.
They are found wherever cliffs of
white limestone. n marked feature in
the geology of this region, rise above
the general level This limestone, al
most inexhaustible in quantity, is very
compact, but is easily worked and
vast quantities are quarried for build
ing purposes.
Along the middle Loire and especial
~ on the great inland peninsula be-
tween the Loire and it's tributary the
Cher, it rises in escarpments on the
river banks These walls are pierced
with artificial inhabited grottos. They

Alcohol from Natural Gas.

A method Of converting natural gas
into alcohol is announced by Dr. Henry
Spencer Blackmore of Washington
81 have devised" says Dr. Blackmore,
"a process of converting natural gas
which contains on an average SO pei
cent. methane, into alcohol by the &C
ton of limited portions Of oxygen OF
air in the presence of heat absorb
ing fluid, such as steam, which pre-
vents complete combustion and main
tains the temperature below the de-
composing point of alcohol, the oxida
ton being induced and maintained by
passing the gaseous ingredients
through an electrically heated gauze.
If the combustion is properly regulat.
ed and controlled, 5000 feet of natural
gas will produce approximately SO gal
Ions of alcohol, and as natural gas can
be readily obtained in Unlimited guam
titles at from five to ten cents thou
sand feet it follows that the cost Of so
gallons of alcohol prodI in this
manner would be only 25 to so cents
for raw material"

Soon it is to be hoped that the old
fashioned ZOO" will be thing of the
past.
No man is a better authority on
geological gardens than Mr.. Carl
Hagenbeck of Hamburg. At his ami
NAL park at Stellingen, pretty little
suburb of the German shipping port,
you can now inspect zoo unlike any
thing else of its kind in the world.
Geological experts who have visited
it declare that the ZOOS of the future
will be erected on this. plan. Already
the enterprising Japanese are build
ing one after Mr.. Hagenbeck's design.
1t was the writer's privilege to in
spect this much-discussed ZOO recent
ly. The gardens occupy some SO acres
Of ground, and in size, therefore, are
slightly larger than those at Regents
park, London. Moreover, so popular
has the zoo become that arrangements
are now being made to add an addi-
tional 26 acres - the park. But the
garden is unique for the daring man
ner in which wild animals are pre-

one passes down a shaded walk. Just
as you begin to wonder where the ami
mails are housed, there bursts upon
sou a spectacle of animal life the like
of which can be seen nowhere else in
| the world.
Immediately in front of you is a
spacious lake on which waterfowl
congregate. Behind them on slightly

| animals, such as Zebras, camels,
! dromedaries, wild horses, wild asses,
yaks, alpacas. etc. At the extreme
| ends of their Enclosures are artistical-
ly conceived cave-like shelters, into
which the animals can retire in bad
weather, or out of the heat of the sun.
Behind these again, at slightly high

big cats. while Immediately behind
these rises ridge of mountains ON

the proprietor has now erected a turn
stile. and for small fee one can pass
right to its edge at one corner of the
den. The Enclosure is very spacious
one, measuring 60 feet long by As feet
broad. AS one gazes at the big cats
one can almost imagine it is an In
dian jungle scene, SO natural are the
surroundings.
Above the lion-house Mr. Hagenbeck
is now placing a number of the larger
birds, such as vultures, eagles and
owls. They have each little rock
shelters in which they can retire, and
are kept in captivity by long. thin
steel chains attached to their legs.
Slightly to the left of the Enclosure
for hoofed animals and lions are the
quarters of a number of Arctic ami
mails. In a large basin are seals, sea-
lions, penguins, gulls. etc. Just above
them are some fine polar bears. They
appear to spend their time in clam
bering over pieces of ice. The bears
are separated from the seals by a
broad and deep ditch which the pub
lie cannot detect To the bears i'm

In the valley of the Cher the cliffs
for over Is miles, from Chenonceaux
to Saint-Aignan, are honeycombed
with subterranean dwellings, most of
the people living in these caves. not
only the poor but also the more pros
porous peasants, and even many of
the bourgeois. The chateauX also use
these caverns as kitchens, chambers
and lunch rooms, and house some of
the live stock in them.
The town of Bourre is a typical vii

windows of the cave houses, and their
chimneys rising above the rocks. I'm
til recently none of the people here
built houses.

Many of the richer among them now

but the cave dwellings are always
cool.
They have the same equable tenn
perature summer and winter. Many of
them have been utilized for centuries
and nobody is ashamed of them. Peo-
pie dS not speak of their houses, but
of their caves.
The rooms in the caves are usually
on the same level. but if the rock roof
is high enough there is often a second
story supported by posts and reached
by stone steps carved out of the side
wall.
What fortunate fellow is the frog
lodyteI If more elbow room is needed
as his family grows he has only to
take his pickax and add length or
width to the domicile. If he wants
little more light or air he knocks an
other hole or two in the front wall.
If the little folks disturb their grand
parents he can dig out new room
for the old people. His stable is prob
ably next door to the living room, and
the cow, chickens and goats live under
the common rock roof. Sometimes the
dwelling is reached by steps from the
outside, but frequently a passage cut
through the rock leads to the room.
Usually there are sufficient windows
for light and ventilation, and the liv-
ing room lacks no appearance of COM
fort. 1t is light and large.
The cupboard, the oak table, the
kneading trough, looking glass, a
chest of drawers and few prints or
colored pictures are arranged along
| the stone walls. and behind curtains
! are a bed or two in recesses dug out
| IF the rock. On one side is the old
fashioned fireplace and oven where
he cooking is done, and the chimney
affords most vigorous draught.
I One of the most striking character
sites of these subterranean dwellings
the complete lack of humidity on the
walls, in which respect they differ
rom most natural limestone caverns.

and healthfulness with the cave dwell
