Claim Action Is Forced Upon
Them by Taxation and
Death Duties.
MUST SEEK SMALLER HOMES
One Big Landed Proprietor After
Another Is Dividing and Selling
His HoIdings-ln Same Families
for Many Centuries.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS great estates
are crumblins under the weight Of
taxation and death duties and one big
landed proprietor after another among
the nobility is dividing and selling his
holdings, many Of which have been in
the hands of single families for CEN
turies.
The latest indication that peers are
finding It necessary to seek smaller
homes comes in the announcement Of
the duke of Portland that he may have
to abandon his palatial mansion,
Welbeck Abbey, in NOttinghamshire.
This is only one of the residences Of
the duke. who owns some 100000
acres in England
Duke Expresses Fears.
For centuries past landed estates
have been handed down from genera
tiOn to generation" said the duke,
addressing his tenants on the occasion
OF the coming of age Of his son Lord
Francis CavendiSh. Landlords and
tenants have lived on terms of mutual
trust and affection. l fear, however,
that the state Of things Is passing
away, for with the present weight Of
taxation and the extremely onerous
death duties. the future may become
very uncertain for all landed pro-
prietors. If this is good for the
country, certainly do not complain
with regard to my own case, It may
not be possible for me and my family
to continue to reside at Welbeck. but
] fear that there can be little doubt
that those who come after me will not
be able to do so."

World Using More coeonut Fat.
For many years past the worlds pro-
duction Of animal fats has been stead
lily diminishing. Lack Of such fats
spelled famine in Europe during the
war, when great quantities Of them
were Withdrawn from human use to
make glycerin for high explosives.
Even now, and III this country, there
is an insuficiency Of animal fats Gas
indicated by the price Of butter), and
to make good the shortage coconut oil
is being imported in enormous .quanti-
ties. During the last year 845, 737, 018
pounds Of this oil were brought, into
the United States.
The oil is largely used as a cooking
fat, but also in the manufacture Of nut
butter, candles, soap and cosmetics.
It is said to be an excellent substitute
for cod liver oil, being highly digesti-
BILE and with the advantage Of an
agreeable flavor. At ordinary temper
atures coconut oil is a white, butter
like solid.

sun before shipment from the tropical
countries where ~coconuts are grown.
In this shape the material is called

65 to 20 per cent Of the weight Of the

NJ. Millerand's election as President
of France brings to the fore q long dis
cussed proposal to amend the consti-
tuition Of that country 50 as to make
the President an important force in the
government instead of restricting him,
as at present, to the merely decorative
functions Of q titular ruler.
M. Millerand has long advocated
such a change. and has been elected on
that platform, remarks the Living
Age. The Socialists and radicals pro-
fess to be alarmed by this new devel-
opment, alleging that 1t represents 4
reactionary drift toward a monarchy.
Some color may have been given to
this claim by the fact that the ultra
conservative and royalist press Of
France has been most enthusiastic for
the change.
It will be recalled that the President
Of France is not elected directly by the
whole people. but by the 900 members
OF parliament. He does not, therefore,
represent the immediate will of the
nation in the same way as the Ameri-
can President. Presumably an enlarge
ment Of the powers .of the President
win carry with 1t q change in the
method by which he Is chosen.

Man and His Cosmetics.

Comes now a man writer to a beau
ty department of an exchange who
c%onfesses not only that he use CO.'S

men do the same, have been doing it
for years and are doing 1t more and
more each year. But, he adds, men
are better makeup artists and their
dolling up Is seldom detected.
Not only does this man make this
confession freely. and indeed with
traces of pride, if not actual Boosting,
but he believes 1t the duty of both
men and women to improve their looks
when possible with beauty enhancing
devices, and the girl he marries must
be more broad-minded than his moth
er, who believes no girl has any *
cuse for using paint and powder, or
for touching up her hair and eyebrows.
Perhaps the man is only fooling, but
II these things be so, the increased
election expenses caused by allowing
women to vote will seem as nothing

An entirely new kind Of compass.
for use on airplanes, is the invention
of a German named Bamberg. It de-
ponds for its operation upon the cleo
trical resistance of selenium, which
varies with any change In the In
tensity Of light falling upon it.
The bowl Of the compass contains
two electric bulbs, directly opposite
each other, which throw their rays
through a lens whereby the rays are
concentrated upon two selenium cells
mounted on a bridge extending across
the top of the bowl.
The compass may be mounted on the
tell Of the airplane, SO as to be at a
distance from all disturbing magnetic
influences, the position of its needle
or pointer being made known to the
pilot by an electrically connected in
dicator In front Of him.
