CATS PROTECTED IN INDIA
To Kill Kitten Is an Offense Pun
ishable by Imprisonment. The
Cn.,nrnr,nnnt L. Breeding Them.

lSnaDle Dy imprisonment AHV
Government Is Breeding Them.
The British government in India
has suddenly developed a fondness
for cats. Not only are they breed
ing cats under the supervision of the
authorities and importing large con-
signments, but laws have been is
sued making it an offense punishable
by fine and Imprisonment to kill a
cat or kitten.
If you live in India and haven't
a cat apply to the government and
they will give you a couple. If this
couple have more kittens than you
care to support you mustn't drown
any, but must either give them away
or turn the surplus felines over to
the government, which will under
take to find new homes.
The reason for this solicitous care
for the cat in India in contrast to the
Londoners' and Canadians inaliena-
Bile right to kick a cat or drown her
progeny lies in the newly discovered
fact that cats stop the spread of
plaques.
For a long time it has been well
known that the rats of India and
elsewhere are largely responsible for
the spread Of plaques such as the
bubonic and cholera. But to kill
the rats in India is especially diff
cult.
The religion of the Marwari for
bids him to kill rats, so when the
health officer tells him the rats in
his house are responsible for the
plague and orders him to kill them
the native piously refuses to believe
or to kill the rodents.
In order to save the native, in spite
of his religious prejudices, the gov
eminent hit upon the happy idea of
fostering cats. The native has no
objection to felines and the Moham-
medan religion references them high
ly The Marwari, though he would
die rather than do violence to a rat,
can nevertheless in all piety stand
by and let his cat kill all it pleases.
A cat census of several large areas
of India brought forth some interest
ing facts regarding cats and the
plague In general it was shown
that villages where so per cent. of
the houses had cats were free from
the plague.

DISCOVER OLD MEXICAN TOWNS
Strange Results OF Exploration in the
Sierra Madrc.

Advices from Mexico City say the
government commission of engineers
making explorations and surveys of
mountainous tracts of land in re-
mote parts of Mexico has made a
report to the federal department of
the interior The surveyors say they
have discovered a number of towns
and villages the existence of which
was not before known to the gov
eminent, and which are not upon the
official maps and records.
Some of these towns are OF con-
siderable size. their population rang
ing from 1000 to 5000 people,
They are situated in valleys in the
deep recesses of the Sierra Madre,
and have little communication with

mobilists. 1t is said that the perfect
roads in the French republic are very
nearly paying for themselves in the
great fund of gold that motorists an
nually leave in the country. At one
time during the summer season II
was estimated that 5000 automobile
parties, embracing 10000 Amert-
cans. were touring the continent and
that their running expenses would be
$25,O0O,O00. The majority of them
visited various sections of France.
Once the Britisher was the world S
greatest traveller, but now the Ameri-
can, the German and the South
American can be found in all the
continental health and pleasure re-
sorts. OF course the times have
much to do with the tide of travel.
Since 1900 the United States has had
good times, hence foreign travel has
increased. Indeed, to accommodate
more than a score of new
Liners" have been built, necessitat-
ing an expense of nearly 100000
900.

Is it not exactly like Paris to make
diamonds to order? Just as America
was pluming itself on turning out
everything that women wanted to
wear Parisians again take the lead.
A young chemist has just informed
the Academy of Science that he has
succeeded in producing by artificial
means crystals of large size having
all the characteristics of diamonds.
Hitherto the most successful expert
ments in diamond making have been
those of Prof Moissan, but the crys-
tails he produced were so exceedingly
small as to be yalueless commercial
ly. The young chemist says his
method enables him to produce crys-
tails as large as oranges. Members
of the Academy of Sciences admit the
CRYSTALS are exceedingly brilliant, but
they add that it will be impossible
to say whether the objects are true
diamonds until thorough tests have
been made.

But corn meal is such rich and

Then, for dinner, there is the

never by any chance be allowed to

Them Journey to Foreign
Countries Every Season.
HOW much money American trav-
elers leave annually in Europe is be-
ing discussed in newspapers and
MAGAZINES more earnestly than ever
The total sum, it is generally ad-
mitted, has been growing enormously
within five years. Writers in for
eign newspapers are astonished at
the increased output of American
dollars in Great Britain, France,
Switzerland, Italy and other coun-
tries, and prominent bankers aver
that the millions of dollars expended
represent a very large portion Of the
revenue Of some Of the countries in
question.
A conservative estimate places the
number of American travellers to
Europe last year between $4,000
and 10000 Another estimate,
based on the all-the-year-round tray-
el from the United States, indicates
that at least 100000 Americans
cross the Atlantic and eXpend $500
a head exclusive of steamship tick
cts. or $22S,000,000 in all. Call the
total figure even little over one
half of that sum, or $125, 900, 900,
and it is seen that foreign countries
must profit immensely from the
tourists
The principal foreign countries
also realize a tremendous revenue
from tourists from countries other
than the United States 1t is claimed
by French bankers that the income of
France from all tourists is something
like $500, 100000 annually. The
tourist toll to Italy is now reckoned
at $1OO,O00,OO0 Egypt, Norway,
Holland and Germany each receives
a generous revenue from sightseeTs.
In Switzerland the innkeepers live
off travellers the year round. A
writer finds from a report of the
Swiss Hotel Keeper Association that
hotel receipts alone have doubled
since 1880. and are today 100000
600 a year In twenty years the
number Of hotels has increased from
1850 to 1000. Lucerne, between
May and November last year, was
visited by 1SO,227 tourists. In the
winter time it is estimated there are
100000 visitors to the various Swiss
resorts.
The winter sports have served to
increase the revenue of the hotels in
most European countries. There are
only three months in the year now
November, December and January
when there is any let up to ocean
travel from America. but during the
other nine months thousands are
crossing the Atlantic.
