London. May Sir Sidney Lee. lee
turing on Shakespeare's life and work ae
the Royal College of Arts, urged upon
his hearers the enthusiasm with which
the wealth OF America was being devoted
to obtaining possession of all that was
most honored and valuable in British
and Continental art treasures and litera-
ture.
He instanced that of the fifteen copies
Of the first folio of Shakespeare's works.
a catalogue of which he had made in
1902 one-third already had been sold to
America, and he ventured to prophesy
that In another twenty years the other
two-thirds, all privately towned, would
have boarded transatlantic steamers
and made the passage before they could
be recalled.
With tears in his voice, Sir Sidney
called attention to the fact that the Duke
of Devonshire who, owing to his wealth
and position, was one of the greatest GUS
todians of national monuments. had sold
to America the unique copy of the first
printed version of Hamlet" surely q
play which Englishmen were entitled to
call their national drama,
He said the only way to save the coun-
try's treasures was to pass a law SIM
liar to that existing in Italy and Greece
which prohibited the alienation of tho
nations monuments.

Paris. May s.-Another crisis in Faris.
now In an acute state. is the question Of
workmen's dwellings. The people have
worked themselves up into such a state
Of nervous excitement feel certain that
unless the authorities take steps to rem
edy the present state OF affairs the forth
coming French elections viii witness
much rioting during which incendarism
and the like will play an important part.
Since 1861 the population OF Paris has
steadily increased. which has necessitat-
ed the construction of new houses. Since
1900, however. there has been a distinct
falling of. Many old houses, chiefly ten
anted by the poor classes. have been de-
molished. but they have not been re-
placed by dwellings suitable to the game
category of resident.
Rents have risen is per cent In the last
few years and accommodation is ex-
tremely difiicult to find. The result is
that cheap hotels, letting out furnished
rooms, have sprung up in all the outly-
ing districts OF Paris. the lodgings being
in nearly every case overcrowded. small.
and unhealthy.
When London was faced with a SIM
liar problem some years ago a remedy
was found In the construction OF cheap.
airy houses In the suburbs. which were
soon filled with poor people from the CEN
tiers.
Thus the London population. instead
of having a surplus of 5000 in 1911. had
a decrease OF I35sO. while the suburban
population during 1901 and 1911 increased
II per cent
Thanks to the efforts Of the authorities,
private owners, and building societies,
the construction of houses in London de-
veloped to a considerable extent. the
most notable fact being the effort made
by charitable societies to replace insani
tary houses by roomy. airy tenements.
The question OF cheap dwellings for
Paris was discussed in 1894 and resulted
in the passing OF a law. but II met with
little or no success.

At present there are fifteen such socie-
ties in Paris, with a capital OF 81. s00o 900.

Although the municipal council is not
making a vast income out of the scheme.
