The fence that surroun t the compound shows a line of gre latticed- windows', bordered with bla set at intervals in a white wall that decohated with crossbeams of verrn on. The interior of tho doll theatre is ranged 'like that of an ordinary Jap -ese playhomse, with its- square co partments, or boxes; and there -are g "cries on three sides of the house.

For the fourth successive year the Dominion Bureau of Agricultural Sta- tistics is engaged in making an enum- eration throug-,hout Cana -da ef the areas sown to field crops and. of farm live stock. This enumeration is being effected by means of schedules dis- tributed to individual farmers. When filled up and retormed, the cards will be transmitted to the Bureau at Ot- tawa for compilation into totals, ex- cept as regards Ontario and British Columbia, where the provincial de- partments Will Undertake the compila- tion. The collection of these statis- tics -re -presents a national agricultural stoaktaking of much value to the farmers as well as to the country generally._ Owing to these -annual sta- tistics, it is possible to show that the at -ea in Canada under field crops in- creased from about 89,000,000 acres in 1915 to nearly 53,000,000 acres in 1920 and their value from $825,370,000 in 1915' to $1,455,244,000 in 1920 or nearly 75 per cent.

The Tatar's Burglar Device. In Tibet the Tatars have what Ls Possibly the oldest burglar trap in the world. It was invented to prevent people from robbing the tombs, Whenever a royal personage died in Tibet he was buried with all his jewels and his royal robes. To add a still higher tribute, the most beautiful young women of his court were suf- focated and embalmed on the day of .his funeral. With their beauty thus preserved, they were placed in a stand- ing- position round the tomb of their master, each holding some trinket that t the royal personage had us,ed during i his lifetnne. In o rder to protect those treasures from vandals, the Tibetans erected an fo arch in which rested sharply pointed g arrows, and under which was a release fo that discharged the arrows in quick in succession.
