National Debt of France.

The national debt OF France listed
before the outbreak of war was &c.
43G, $50. american Whitaker, 1915,
latest figures available, 1919. Assum-
ing that subscriptions to the French
loan Of victory reach a total Of $4,000
100000. the total debt Of France at the
present time would, according to the
best estimate available at the mo-
ment, be in the neighborhood Of $751;
S00,000,000. BY the listing before the
war, which is chiefly for the fiscal
year ended in October, 1913. the larg-
est national debt was that of France,
with Russia second, the United King
dom third, Italy fourth, and Spain
fifth. From the outbreak Of war until
October Of this year Germany had
been the largest borrower, Great Brit
ain the second. Russia third, France
fourth, and Austria fifth. Germany's
debt has increased by more than 500
per cent, Great Britain's by about 100
per cent, Russia's by about so per
cent, while that Of France has in
creased by less than one-third. This
does not, however, include the loan
of victory"

kIpllnq No Lover Of Cats.

Rudyard Kipling, says the London
Chronicle, is evidently no lover Of
cats, for the tale Of "The Cat Who
Walked by Himself is based on the
latest hostility between the cat and
the man. He describes how the dog,
the horse and the cat in turn are at
tracted to the cave of our ancestors
and become domesticated, but the cat
still retains his freedom. Even though
he has fallen victim to the seduc-
tions Of the fireside, and agreed to ac-
cept the terms imposed by the man
and the dog, he never becomes really
friendly.
You remember the lines: "He will
kill mice and he will be kind to babies
when he is in the house, just as long
as they don't pull his tail too hard.
But when night comes he Is the
cat that walks by himself, and all
places are alike to him. Then he goes
out to the wet, wild woods, up the
wet, wild trees, or on the wet, wild
roofs waving his wild tail and walking
by his wild love.

MONG0OSE is A PEST
WEST INDIES SEEKING PLAN TO
GET RID OF 1T.
Government Rewards Have Only Had
the Effect Of Adding to Their
Number, and the Problem Has
Become Serious.

"The mongoose pest is becoming
really serious; it is worse than ever
writes Trinidad correspondent to
British paper.
Formerly, he says, the government
gave a substantial reward for each
body or tell produced, but no sub
stantial reduction resulted. Some en-
terprising peasants were suspected OF
making a successful minor industry
by breeding the mongoose, and in one
ward it was established that an limo.
cent warden had paid for the same
tails over and over again. AS soon
as bought they were buried, only 10
be dug up and sold again in the morn.
ing.
Another amusing, if expensive, thing
occurred in this connection. In two ad
Joining wards an experiment was
tried. At one they gave fiat rate
Is cents each-male or female. At
another the price was 81 for the fe-
male and so cents for the male.
After some time it dawned on the
purchasers lIdI lH6Ib was d
great preponderance of females in the
latter ward. The simple peasant had
again proved one too many for the au.
thorities. Inquiry proved that all the
females caught in both wards were
sold in the one where the price was
raised, and all the males vice versa.
Then the government got tired Of it,
and no further reward was given.
The mongoose, it may be recalled
was imported into the West Indies in
the seventies Of last century, to eX-
terminate the rats which ravaged the
cane fields. They did this most ef-
fectually, but, having destroyed the
rats, they turned their attention to
poultry and birds. Then lizards fell
a prey to their voracious appetites,
with the result that the insects in
creased in an alarming extent. Final
ly the mongoose became as great
pest there as rabbits are in Australia.

Electrified Pants.

Pants warmed by electricity Is the
latest war invention. 1t is described
by its originators an Innsbruck pro-
fessor who is at present serving in the
army, Max Beck by name, and the
Well-knoWn Vienna professor of medl-
cine, Won SChrotter.
Besides the comfort this garment
would be to men in the trenches in
winter, it is pointed out that electrical
pants and, likewise, an electrical arm
warmer, might be proftably used in
airships and aeroplanes. 1t appears
from the description given that ex-
tremely supple but stiff electrical
warming wires are woven in with the
stuff, which is itself made especially
with a view to insulation. The pants
are put on like any other, and fed
by cables at distance Of a hundred
yards or more.
The wearer can himself connect and
disconnect the heat conductor. The
expense is lid. to Id. an hour. The
cost of manufacture is estimated at
from e3 6s. Sd. to GA 3s. 4d

department. OF course, whisky glasses
will come under the same rule.
Up to the present the karkeepers
have used only cold running water to
clean glasses after use. The health
department believes this treatment Is
not sufficient to destroy germs The
new code requires not only that the
glasses shall be washed in boiling wa
ter, but that they shall be rinsed in
cold water afterward.
The Same rule applies to glasses
