A. B. Mercer. research professor of Egypt- ology, University ot Toronto. For 19 years the scarab has been here in the museum, its significance unrecognized. It is valued et at least 9100,000. "This scarab Is one ot the most important things iu the museum. There are few historic:.l inscriptions of the reign of Shabaka, and those which we have are very precious," said Professor Mercer.

"Kindia alone can supply all the world's needs in monkeys and chirm pauzees for experimental purposes for a century to come," Colonel Wilbert, of the French Colonial Army medical forces, in&erge of the establishment at Pastoria, said. "There is no danger of a monkey shortage. We have no desire to keep Kindle and rte ridit monkey population for French scientists. On the con- trary we invite foreign scientists and it is for their comfort that we have built the'hotel.

Our chimpanzees and our tropical' forests are at the disposition of all science which knows no .bouu dories."

Such a scheme is, of course, thor- oughly estabiisted in Germany where in some 3000 "Youth Ilostels" some 4,000,000 beds were occupied last year at a cost of 120 a night, or less.
