He questioned the economy of
pastures in many parts of Western

use of soiling crops in summer aud

The principality of Monaco has had its fair
share of the extraordinary prosperity brought to
the place by the gold left by gamblers from all
parts of Europe and America. Fifty years ago
the entire land and the buildings erected thereon
exclusive of the princes domain, could probably
have been bought by a Spectator for 100000
Statistics drawn up for official purposes in 1911
showed that the approximate value of the land
and buildings in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
princes domain and government property-was
227000,000 francs, or $45,400,000.
There is a mild "Uitlander' question in Monaco,
for the 1911 census showed that out of a total
resident population Of 1921 persons no less than
1889 were foreigners and 1882 Monagasques.
Even in this small number all were not genuine
MonagasQues, the inhabitants of nativeborn stock
belonging to native families who have lived in
the principality for at least two generations only
numbering 635, the others being naturalized sub

ConsuIs Have Troubles.

The stranded American is the bane
of the consul. His Office is invaded by
persons claiming his good offices alter
their plans have gone askew. Those
in better circumstances demand that
the consul indorse their notes at the
bank, those in poorer circumstances
demand to be sent home. 1t is appar-
emily a fixed idea that a consul can
draw on the treasury for the relief of
stranded Americans. Many cases Of
distress are pitiable and consuIs, not
even recouped against the social ex-
penses incidental to their position,
have to give relief out of their pri-
vate means and to stand the iney-
liable loss. The only persons whom
consuls are authorized by law to aid
are sailors on the articles of a vessel
of American registry wrecked within
their consular districts, and in this
case only to the extent of immediate
relief and passage to the next Amer
lean port.

The Anti-Mosquito Raid.

The crusade recently launched in
many cities to exterminate the mos
quito should be taken up all over the
country. While more formidable in
some places than others, it should not
daunt a people who have made such
definite inroads against pests and pur-
veyors of disease in general as we
have in late years. Indeed, we have
included even the mosquito in our con-
quests to such an extent as apparently
to wipe out that particular species that
spreads the germs of yellow fever. OF
course, the American people have
learned the primary lesson in all such
crusades, namely, the relative value
Of modern sanitation. Cleaning out
the breeding places, doing away with
standing water or marshes and remov-
ing the cause of mosQuito-breeding is
the first step to be taken, and that, as
we say, has been taken to large ex-
tent

a Century AGO.

Samuel Colt, inventor of the re-
volver, was born 100 years ago in
Hartford, Conn. He was a boy of if
teen on board an East Indianman, a
sailor before the mast, when he made
his first model in wood Of his cele-
brated revolving pistol. At the age Of
twenty-one he took out his first patent
for the weapon. The officers of the
government and the army and navy
declined for a long time to give the
revolver their Endorsement, and the
first company formed for its manufac-
ture ended in failure. But the Sem
mole war IN Florida demonstrated the
merits of the weapon and it was then
adopted by the army. Other wars in
different parts of the world created a
demand for the revolver, and by the
time of the outbreak of the American
Civil war, the Colts arms works could
hardly meet the call for the famous
pistol Mr. Colt made a great fortune
out of his invention, but in 1862, he
died at the early age of forty-eight.

WHERE ETIQUETTE Is STRICT
Ceremony of European Courts Simple
Compared With That of This
African King.

There was much ceremony observed
at the kings court, Gays John H.
Weeks. No one approaches him with
out first seeking his permission, and no
one is allowed TO sit on chair in his
presence except his sons and nephews.
Up to 1884 no native was permitted TO
own European chair, even for private
use.
Ordinary men, approaching the king
had TO kneeI three times, once just in
side the last entrance to the kings in
closure, then near the door Of the
palace" and lastly Immediately in
front Of his majesty. And the last time
they knelt they put the palms Of their
lands together, rubbed their little fin
gers in the dirt, and then transferred
the dirt from their little fingers to their
foreheads or temples and clapped their
hands. This ceremony they repeated
three times at the last kneeling place,
and the king answered by putting the
palms of each hand across each other
with the fingers Of the right hand well
above the thumb and index finger of
the left hand and waving them. If
the king did not answer thus, or if he
thrust out his foot and waved his toes
which was an insuIt-the sooner the
man Tetreated the better for him
If man omitted to send or take the
king a share Of his trading products he
would not be favorably received, ana
might expect to see his majesty's toes
wave, instead of his fingers. Wellto-do
chiefs who failed to send him occasion
al presents were also cOldly received,
and the waving toes reminded them Of
their delinquencies. No written &C
count was kept; but the king, like all
natives, had a remarkable memory for
what was owing to him, and never for
got when a debt was to be paid or a
present was due. Chiefs and noble
men had to render homage to the king
the same as ordinary men, but not
every time they went into his pres
ence.-Among the Primitive Bakongo.

to be poor to have to beg for living is
promptly turned out of the principally. There
are no paupers in Monaco.
In renewing the concessions in 1898 for long
term Of years the prince stipulated for the pay
ment Of of 100000 from the Monaco Sea
Baths company in installments over period of
Is years, and, furthermore, he draws annuity
of $250,O00. Moreover, the company has to con
tribute" substantially to certain works Of public
utility carried out in the principally.
That the company should be able to do all this
and still make larger profits than ever is surely
eloquent testimony to the blindness Of the
''punters" who frequent Monte Carlo in such num-
bers during the winter season. The gambler
never goes on strike, and neither wars, nor fnan-
cial crises, pestilences, nor the ever-ncreas-
ing cost of living seem to interfere with the
steadily advancing prosperity of the Monaco Sea
Baths company. 1t is only loss of time to at
tempt to persuade the "punter" that he can never
really win, and that in the long run-try any
system he Hkes-he is mathematicaly bound to
lose If you told him that only one in every
thousand gamblers hope to win substantially
he would still be convinced that he was the thou
sandth
1t has been estimated that average of some
thing like 100000 in hard cash falls on the green
tables daily throughout the year. and not a sea-
son passes that one does not meet with hundreds
of people who have come to Monte Carlo to at
tempt the impossible namely, to seek a fortune
at the tables.
Th1s year the dividend was raised from $50
francs per share to $50 francs. The share, the
nominal value of which is 500 francs, or 500, is
now quoted on the Paris Bourse at $3.50 francs
Roulette made the fortune Of the Blanc family,
who are now multimilIionaires while at Monte
Carlo, and indeed, throughout the little princi-
pality, NJ Camille Blanc is only second in impor-
lance to the prince.
With two machines and few hundred pounds
in notes the Brothers Blanc applied to the prime
minister for permission to start operations in
one Of the rooms at the hotel
The following year, 1S43 the Brothers Blanc
obtained from the Iandgrave Of Hesse-Homburg
the exclusive right to carry public games of
chance in his dominion, for which they agreed
to pay the sum of E 5000 per annum and under

Gasometer Signs for Aviators.

AviatOrs experience much difficulty
In aScertaining their whereabouts
when flying over towns and villages at
a considerable height, and Mr.. Lugard
suggested that at the top of every

His scheme includes the use of index
