A VAST GRAZING COUNTRY
Madagascar Along the West Coast
 Has Great Cattle Lands
From Engineering.

from EnBlneeflnS.
 Madagascar possesses on the west coast and in the central plateau vast grazing lands. These extend In great rolling lands along the slopes and wide backs of hill ranges, have good, natural herb age, and are well watered by numerous streams and rivers. The cattle lands are best in the province of Ambatond- razaha, but continue to the northern parts of the island, which are still al most unknown.
 Cattle breeding is already the main occupation of the natives and it is esti- mated there are over 100000 head in the island today. The Malagasy are devot- ed ito their cattle, which they hold up to 100 head to a single owner. and they are qualified both by instinct and ex- perience to handle them But the island is sparsely populated, containing under 8 000,O09 of people on an area as large as France. and large tracts are practically unoccupied. Those acquainted with the upland country believe it to be teeming with possibilities, for cattle ranching on a large scale, Tn accordance with the up to date methods practiced in Austra- been attempted in any systematic manner though a company with British capital has recently established an ice plant In the island. This will no doubt lead to further effort in the same direction, and the existence of this enterprise certainly adds to the chances of others operating in the country. There is a very good market in France itself, where, owing to shortage of meat supplies, the French consumers have lately been in a serious position

Orpheum Vaudeville Best Bill Yet

The man who has conquered that mys- terious world-fluid; that all-powerful, all-
 peryading force, electricity, concerning the possibilities of which we are only Oil the threshold; that man of science, Dr. Macdonald. will appear before Or rheum audiences all week, and demon- strate his almost unbelievable power over electricity and magnetism.
 His experiments are of the most astounding nature. and being based upon
 purely scientific lines of research, in-
 struct as well as entertain. One of the
 most marvellous of Dr. MacDonaId's ex-
 periments consists of strapping a young
 girl into an electric chair, such as is in
 use in state prisons, and turning on a high voltage of electricity. So finely organized is this young ladyand so mar velous the demonstration that the audi ences can fairly see the current cours- ing through her body, emitting snapping, sputtering sparks at various points of contact. Much comedy enter into the act tc relieve the heavier parts
 The name Swor is linked with the best there is in black-face comedy and Swor and Mack come to the Orpheum this
 " eek with clever black-face comedy stunt said to be one of the best in vaude- yille The act includes man and a yoman the latter being the very accept able foil to the cleverness of the other. Stories, comedy and singing will be fea- tured throughout the act.
 If there is one kind of act that Or pheum audiences are more partial to than any other kind 1t is a good singing, dancing and comedy sketch team, such a enc as Eddie Barto and Florence Clark, who come to that theatre next week. The act includes the three essentials of en- tertainment, music being the chief of these. The latest songs vii be heard. While entirely devoted to singing, Ger trude Dudley and company will prove an act that audiences will like immense ly It Is singing act, including the newest of several of the new song hits, as well as other musical numbers. Some clever novelties are promised in the act Miss Dudley is possessor of a splendid
 voice and ability to use it well at all times.
 For the comedy end of the bilI-spelled
 with a big C-the Orpheum will offer the
 Dennis brothers, one of them comedian
 and the other a straight. They perform
 on the revolving ladders, a comedy stunt
 in itself. The act is similar to others
 that have been seen here in years gone
 by. but it has been so long that the act
 should prove novelty.
