who is virtually their ruler. though Us-

Below an unruffed surface. all Egypt
is in STATE of violent fermentation, and
the people are following the events Of
the war with the most intense interest.
Isamic feeling in Egypt has been pro-
foundly stirred throughout the summer
by the spectacle of France and Germany
uuarreling over Morocco. one of the
few remaining MOslem states surviving,
and when Italy started to wrest from the
Ottoman empire the last remnant of its

Outburst of resentment. The feebeness
of the defenseS p ovided by tho Turks in
TripOi. and +he be'ief that the Italians
would sc; possession of the country with
out any serious struggle were regarded
as evidences OF The political disintregra
tion OF the whole IslamiC world.
The movement among the Moslems in
favor of their cO-religIOniSts did not slack
en- under the adverse news of Italian
victories. but, on the contrary, seemed
to grow in intensity. OF late the spe-
ciaI correspondents in COnstantnople

adopted for protecting the Congo against
the alleged German ambition, there seems
to be only one opinion, Belgium should
lean, as far as possible, on France and
England, who certainly have reasons for
not allowing Germany further to increase
her sphere In Central Africa; and should.
at the same time, increase her defensive
power in Europe, II being felt that IL the
Belgian Congo were to be fought for, 1t
would not be in Africa itself, but in this
part of the world, as one Of the incidental
objects Of other nations quarrels. To
put things quite clearly, the idea Is that,
in case Of a Franco-German war, begin
ming with a TeutoniC invasion Of Bel
gian territory, the Kaiser's government
would, in case OF victory, exact the Bel
gian Congo as one of its prizes, as
punishment for the opposition Belgium
would be bound by her duties as neutral
state to offer the invader.
Military experts in Belgium are con-
vinced that if Belgiums defenses are
brought M to the highest degree of ef-
ficienCy. Germany would not waste time.
money, and blood in overcoming them be-
fore meeting the French forces, and that
Kink AIbert's kingdom, being thus not in
volved in the war. would escape its di-
rect or indirect consequences.
The conclusion, therefore, is that great
and immediate sacrifices must be made
to increase the Belgian army in num-
bers, to equip the forts of Liege, MeuN,
and Antwerp with the most efficient ar
tillery, and raise a really serious bar
rier against invasion. This policy the
King of Belgium, himself indOrses mJst
completely, and its realization will sOon
become fact visible to all eyes.

BRITAIN MUST NOW PROVIDE
HER DOMESTIC FOOD SUPPLY

Between 1887 and 1897 there was revi-
val. but the industry again declined. In
1902 cultivation was recommended, and
since that date II has been steadily
growing Encouraged as il is by the
commonwealth government, there is every
prospect OF the industry attaining con-
siderable proportions. The extension Of
the Industry to Papua is now proceed
ing, and much capital has been invested

satisfactory return.
Protest Land Tax.
The great landowners of Great Brit
ain have succeeded in finding a new OBJ
lection to the land tax. which they hope
Will carry great weight, as 1t appeals to
the patriotism of the British people. In
connection with the new land valuation
scheme. series of new ordnance maps
are being issued, which are so accurate
that a farmhouse eighteen yards long
appears on the maps with half an inch
Of space. Every tree In the country is
marked. and a pine tree Is indicated
differently from an oak or an elm; even
shrub is distinguished from a fruit
bush. Every spring is shown. and mis-
sion rooms. smithies, and mills are also
marked with the utmost precision.
1t is now claimed by the landowners
that the public sale of these maps is a
great danger to the country. They say
the German government is sure to buy
them up in large quantities, and state
they will be of inestimable value to the
kaiser's army in case of invasion. doing
away with the necessity of employing
spies except to locate the positions OF
guns in the various forts.

THE PLUMBER UNDER FIRE.
English Writers Attack Cause OF
wild Excitement.

London. Dec. 9-At a meeting OF the
Institute of Plumbers al Huddersfield re-
Gently, Mr.. Challoner, of BlackpOol, took
exception to statements regarding plumb
ers made by Mr.. Harold Begbie in a
book.
In a chapter headed THE Plumber"
Begbie said that the plumbing trade was
the worst, from a moral point of view:
that there were no bigger set of thieves
than those in the plumbing trade; that
the writer did not know why it was, but
plumbers appeared not to be able to
help it, and that he would sooner have
a burglar in the house than a plumber.
further, that If those were rum things
to say about the whole trade they were
true.
The plumber, said Mr.. Challoner. had
been made the butt of the comic papers
for a great number Of years, but Mr..
Begbie's statements were serious. He
moved that the executive be asked to
consider the wisdom OF taking legal opin-
ion as to whether they had not some
cause for action.
Mr.. Armitage, Huddersheld, declared
that the statements were a libel and read
a further extract from the book, in
which the author said he had seen
man in a plumbers shop take up pot
of boiling metal and sling at boy for
a cock-eyed action or a bad word
The resolution to take legal opinion was
carried.

growing have been carried on with eN-
Cellent results. These reports show that
there is no reason why Great Britain
should continue to rely on the United
States for her supply of cotton. as there
are vast areas in the colonies where
superior cotton may be produced at
very much lower cost than in America
Cotton In Nigeria.
An established cotton industry is al
ready to be found in Nigeria. and Uganda
is rapidly becoming a producing region
In fact the statistics Justify the expcc-
tation that the industry in Uganda will
rapidly expand. Favorable conditions for
cotton growing have been proved to exist
In certain portions of British East Africa,
Rhodesia and III various localities with
in the borders of the Union of South
Africa The principal necessity for the
development of the industry in these
countries is capital and the provision OF
ginning facilities.
In Queensland the cotton growing in
dustry has suffered many vicissitudes.
1t was in a iourishing condition about
1850. when the United States civil war
seriously curtaiIed tine output from North
America, but It gradually declined until
1887. when it practically ceased to exist.

Lido Beach, where all the fashiona BILE

ing resort on a long narrow strip of
island facing the AdriatiC. a couple OF
miles out in the lagoon. and il is pro-
posed to run an electric train through
a tunnel some twenty-five feet below the
bed of the Grand Canal whereby the
time 1t now takes to get from St. Mark =
Square to Lido Beach-the best part OF
an hour under present conditions-would
be reduced to five minutes. BY providing
easy and quick means of access the city
fathers hope 10 attract visitors to the
Lido in greater numbers, although to
many the idea of a subway station in
ST. Marks Square will seem a desecra-
ton. and the journey itself will be shorn

CUT WRONG ARM OFF.
Strange Tragedy of Errors Seen fin
Partisan Hospital.

Paris. Dec. 9--An empIOyc of the Paris
underground railway has been tn" vic
tim Of an extraordinary mishap. He en-
tered one of the leading Paris hospitals
for an affection of the right arm, and
an operation was declared to be neces-
sary.
1t was duly performed by one of the
hospital surgeons, but on recovering from
the anaesthetic the patient discovered to
his stupefaCtion that the left arm in
stead OF the right had been operated on.
There was nothing to be done but to
submit 10 another operation. This time
no mistake was made, but because the
victim made a complaint about the mis-
hap he was released from the hospital,
although he was told that his arm was
not healed and that it would require to
BE-. operated on again.
The unfortunate patient is going Ia sue
the surgeon for dana ges. The latter
protests that he was not to blame for
the blurder. which was due to the fact
that the attendant turned the operating
table the wrong way around.

CATS AND RICHES.
Simple scheme Evolved In Paris to

Paris, Dec. 9.-Take 1.1On,OCO cats and

Liberte, Of Paris to its readers. The
prescription Is quite simple. \ million
cats will supply you with 100000 kit
tens q year The skins are worth little
over Is cents each. so there you have
q daily gross revenue of about $1,000
To skin the cats you will have to en-
ploy 100 men. who will charge you 81 per
fifty cats. Your net revenue will thus
be reduced 10 about 5000 a day. 1t
should cost YOU nothing to feed your
cats Start Il rattcry. Rats breed four
times as fast as cats. so the cats can
have a daily diet Of four rats apiece.
which is ample. To feed the rats is per-
iectly simple. Give them the skinned
cats. One cat will be ample for four
rats. The scheme works out simply and
automatically. The cats eat the rats,
the rats eat the cats, and you have the
skins.
