and you go whirring swiftly and stead

Smallest Farms in the World.

On the Islands of Re and Oleron,
near La Rochelle, France, according to
Popular Science Monthly, are found
the smallest farms in the world. Some
of them are only one or two square
yards in area, yet these iny domains
are carefully planted with a variety
of crops, even including vineyards. The
soil is extremely fertile. The repeat
ed subdivision of estates among heirs
and the dense population of the is
lands explain the existence of these
Lilliputian properties.

Cathay was an old name of China by
which that country was known to Eu-

British Encyclopedia says: "Cathay is
divided from Khital, the name which
was properly that of the kingdom es-
tahlished by the Khiean conquer
ors in the northern provinces of
China about ~ D. 907 and was sub
sequently applied to the whole of
China" Khitai IS still the Russian
name for China.
