CORNELL.

Ithaca, n. Y, Oct. 29.-There was no
scrimmage IN preparation for the game
with Williams this afternoon, but the vari-
Gus combinations were sent through sig
nails for two hours. As a whole the team
looks better than at any time in the last
three days. There was plenty OF speed
and no hesitation or fumbling- The only
change in the lineup that is permanent
was made when Leventry was shifted from
end, where he has been playing all season.
10 tackle, the position he played last year.
This is 10 fill the place of Stude, who is out

ter: Tydeman and Hoffman. halfbacks, and

FRANCE RULES IN CAMBoDIA

Writing from Saigon. Consul Jacob z.

count Of the Cambodia protectorate IN
lIndo-China:
The ancient kingdom Of Cambodia is
now French protectorate, with its CAPT
tai at Pnom PENN. Here King sisowath
holds court with a considerable follow
ing Of '.offleials and supernumeraries Of
al sorts. while the French resident su-
perieur attends 10 the business Of gov

about the size OF Mississippi. or a little
larger than Pennsylvania It's population
is estimated at I.so0,oOo. OF about that Of
New Jersey. The surface is in general
quite level, though occasionally isolated
hills arise from the midst Of the plain.
and on the northern border a low range
OF hills separates It from Laos
Its drainage system IS rather peculiar,
and greatly mOdifes the conditions of
animal and vegetable life II consists in
the main OF the Mek0ng River. formerly
known as the Csmbodia, and an enor-
nous reservoir Of that river in the shape
Of lake known as T0nle Sap. The Me-
and when at the end Of the rainy season
it is greatly augmented in volume. the
water re1Ows into Tonle Sap, which later
swells the volume OF the lower Mekong
and regulates its overflow.
Thus II wiz be seen Why the lower food
plain Of the Mekong is never inundated 10
a great depth, but the inundation. which
occurs every year, is Of long duration.
Tonic Sap is, Of course. slowly filing I'D.
and IS already at the dryest time Of the
year almost without water. though a
depth OF twenty meters, OF sixty and
One-half feet. Is reported for the rainy
season IN the more mountainous upper
course Of the Mekong. according to some
accounts. the river rises as much as
thirty meters. or nearly ninety-eight and
One-haIf feet
The waters abound IN fish, which the
natives have no difficulty in catching.
Improved means OF fishing would soon
exterminate them. for as the waters re-
cede from the lake the fish are driven TO
its small tributary streams, and the lake
thus becomes q natural fish trap. Many
OF these, as the ''mouru," for example.

and some are considered delicacies. Ap-
parently capital might well be invested
