HOUSES IN TAHITI DIVIDED BY HEIRS
French Inheritance Laws Do Queer Things to Ancestral Homes

Pspsete, Tahiti, Aug, ss,-lIeFs and there an the island of Tahiti may be seen fragments Of housesi houses with the ends cut away exposing hare rooms enclosed on three sides while the fourth remains open to the weather, houses with veEaRdas gonei houses cut in halfl others with their iron roofs taken away, Inquiry brings io light the information that these fororn exhibits represent the work ings Of the French inheritance laws as applied 10 Tahiti,
 In former times when the head of the family died the title to the prop eriy was vested in the oldest child, who conserved II for the benefit Of the family at large, Rut the French laws have done away with this,sThey deerea that each heir shall come into fnll possession of his share of any property, In consequence the courts at Paneeie are eongested with land litigation. The usual battle-ground is the homestead, which generally is a wooden building of many rooms crowned by corrugated roof and surrounded by broad yeranda. The eldest son or daughter holds the fort there. But the others, after much litigation. establish their right to shares,
 Armed with court orders. saws. chisols and other implements of de- structive carpentry. they come and dsmemher the ancestral mansion, each taking his fragment to his own domain. What Is left remains the heritage of the eldest. and until he can gather substance to repair the damage his domicile continues a melancholy monument to family dis harmony. and he camps in the one or two rooms still sheltered.

Geneva, Aug, ss.-fhe unemplog- msnt suffered throughout the world from 1880 to 1898 is closely connect ed with the periodical crises which have afflicted the working classes and humanity as a whole for q century, according to a report issued hy the international labor office. which gives the results of an international in, auiry into the subject,
 The report remarks that this con, elusion is contrary 10 a fairly wide, spread idea, II declares that while it is true that the great questions Of international relations resulting from the war and the treaties Of peace have sravely affected the national economy Of many countries, resulting in the complication and aggravation of nn- employment the inquiry indicates that apart from certain exceptions, avail, able statistics show scarcely any eor- relation between changes in unem- ployment and the fluctuations in for eign trade.
 The report adds that in many eaun- tries the period Of most intense unem- ployment was accompanied by a greater volume of exports than at some other date,

BLACK GOLD MAY BE

So Popular That He May Be
 Entered in Too Many Races

Louisville, Kys Aug, ss,-Tea much popularity may effect the turf career Of Black Gold, as it finally ruined famous Old Rosebud, ten years ago, in the opinion of Kentucky turf eN- perts who see in the public elamor for the Hoots colt many of the possi- hilities which brought destiny to Old Rosebud.
 Not since 1914. when Old Rosebud won the Kentucky Derby and set the record for the race at 2'0a 2ra, has there been a racer held so high in public esteem, Lovers of hofsefesh are showering their affections on this black son Of Black Tony and the little Indian poney, useeit.
 Old Rosebud, after winning the Derby in 1914, was sent east and broke down during race at Belmont, His owners gent him 10 Texas and three years later he came back and heat Roamer and other leaders, He was SO popular he was traced 10 death" and was destroyed two years ago.
 For several years no horse received the admiration that was Old Rose- buds Black Gold made bid for 1t last winter when he won the Louisiana Derby at New Orleans, Ho was the favorite in the Kentucky Derby and came from behind 10 win the fiftieth renewal of that classic.
 He went on to Cleveland and an- noxed his third derby. tho Ohio event. His first reversal cam~ in the Latonia Derby a short time later. when Chil- howee and Giblon rompcd home ahead of him.

Great sea Waves

Waves Of extraordinary height, mis-.
called tidal waves" are sometimes
encountered at sea or along the coasts.
They are due either to earthquakes
under the sea, or to n combination Of
several ordinary waves, which, II a
heavy sea be running, is sufficient to
account for a wave of unusual height,
Such a one was recently encountered
10y the British steamship Maine near
the southern edge OF the Grand Banks
of Newfoundland, The wind was ris.
ing after a hard blow and an ugly
swell, about twenty-five feet high, was
running Then huge wave was seen
towering above the other seas n mile
away and rushing toward the ship. 1t
swept the vessel from end to end and
was estimated by the officers to have
been from so to co feet in height.
