They were bitterly disappointed in China, • .. Their recent actions show that the Soviet are no better pleased with the result of their ef- forts to convert India to their creed. ,The executive of the Communist In- ternational in Moscow not long ago ,turned M. N. Roy out of his charge as 'director of propaganda in India; he has now been expelled as a renegade. Apparently he did not produce suf- ficiently fruitful results for the money they copiously voted him. A gentle - :man of the name of P. ISchubin is un- !derstood to be Roy's successor.

French .Develop African Desert France Digging Artesian. Wells to Make the Great Sahara Bloom Algiers. --Most people look upon the Sahara as a land open for world tour- ists, enjoying an ideal winter. This is Partly true since the great African desert has been made possible for motoring. Nevertheless, it is not only a show place of never -to -he -forgotten attractions, but also a land of labor,. Indeed, this wilderness, owing to the energetic efforts of the French auth- orities, is becoming a land of ever- green gardens, where the populations live peacefully in the shade of their palm trees amici wives, children, asses and camels, The, Saharan tribes believe their country to be• the most beautiful and themselves the happiest of people and, while busy cultivating their gardens, or lazily lying in the sun along their mud -baked houses, bless Allah for pouring so many and generous gifts upon them. The Algerian Sahara covers an area of about 2,200,000 kilometers and Is inhabited by over 300,000 people of Berber or Arab origin, white and black, nomad or sedentary. It has been divided by writers into three sections; A large pasture field, where several million domestic animals (sheep, oxen, asser and camels) feed; a small cereal field, where inter alia, barley and tobacco grow, and lastly, a beautiful garden. Artesian Wells France is carrying out a wide hy- draulic policy through which many wells have been 'and are being dug. These are known by the natives as "Friendship Fountalus" and have con- quered the Saharan tribes far mare easily than could have soldiers and guns and turned the deserted region into fruitful lands the products of which are known to the ivorld at large. The first French artesian well was dug in 1846, and the most famous one in 1024 in the small oasis of Rater on the was from Biskra, the famous winter resort to Tuggurt and the great desert market lying on the main camel tracks. When opened, it gave an output of 20,000 litres a minute. The most famous oasis is found at Auargla, a small town inhabited by Arabs and Negroes and lying 850 kilo- meters south of Algiers. This oasis includes nearly 1,000,000 date trees in- closed in beautiful gardens. Two hun- dred and eighty kilometers farther south is the small but very heautiful oasis of El. Golea, Iying in a romantic setting at the foot of a very old Ksar (castle) perched up high on a rock. towering above the endless plain. Cast and Value of Dates That date trees are valuable re- sources to their owners .is clearly shown by the fact that each tree costs from 800 to 1200 francs, according to the quality of its fruit and is con- sidered by all the Saharan people as a heavenly manna to be used as a daily food. Even camels are so fed when undertaking a journey of several days over the cand plains to the re- mote and meagre pasture fields. At the present time, according to recent estimates, the volume of water obtained by artesian wells, both French and native, is about 200,000 liters a minute, irrigating an area of 300,000 hectares covered with palm gardens yielding a yearly crop of dates worth 100,000,000 rants, snaking the annual .xport of this fruit to ;France and foreign countries worth about 130,000 cubic. quintals, or 70,- 000,000 francs. — Christian Scieuce Monitor.

Live Crickets London,—In the columns of the Lon- don, Times there appeared recently the following advertisement: Live house crickets wanted for country house; must be healthy, strong and loud chirpors; state price. Write Box Q 1348, the Times E. C. 4. The advertiser, a doctor, was Soon traced, and he stated that the adver- tisement was inserted in ai. effort to supply a real want, as ho bad lust bought a country mansion of the old Elizabethan type, ;rhich was complete except for crickets on the l.eartlt, "The house," he said, "has line old, open brick grates that are just aching for crickets. Already I have prepared the homes of my new little friends. The holes are neat and deep. The rugs are before the fire and I will pro- mise that all the delicacies they like shall be showered upon them. Then, and :.ot till then, will my home be like home." This desire for crickets is no new fad of the doctor's. He had an old house before, and when he first went there no crickets were in occubation. One day, however, he attended a poor patient who Could not pay the. fee, but in her house he beard crick- ets innumerable. "Send me a few," said the worthy medico, `and I will send you a receipt." The crickets arrived the next day aucl after boring holes for thein around the fireplace the doctor fed thein daily until quite a firm friend-. ship bad sprung up. "At first they would come out only after Clark, but as time wore on they seemed to get to know the smell of my pipe, I t'iink, for whenever I was alone in the room they would creep ut and, sitting on the hearth at my set, sing their little song till they ould be heard all over the house." Tlie news that some one was inter- sted in crickets came as a pleasant uprise to an expert at the Natural history Museum. "It is a change to ear some one asking for crickets" be aid. "Usually it le the other way i'mind. We have many complaints nd requests for the most effective. method of getting rid of them.

Sports of Britain's Royalty Modernize 'The Sport of Kings' eeeorge V and Three Sons Fol- low Popular Gaines of Golf, Riding and Fencing London,—Members of the royal family are ardent sportsmen, but each has his particular sport.

The Prince of Wales has given his attention to riding, hunting, piloting airplanes and playing golf. Almost every day before his departure for Africa he worked to perfect his game. He shoots in the eighties. Close ,observers of the Prince's game say that his woods have im- proved tremendously in the last six months, but that his putting and ap- proach shots still lack the grace and assurance of a Hagen, Comps= or Jones.

Prince George is an ardent rider and an en - me, thusiastic golfer, but hasn't developed the technique of him older brother, the Prince of Wales, as yet. Prince Henry, who is following a life of ac- tive service in the army, has selected fencing and riding as his favorite sports.

The opinion was expressed that the beaches are unequaled for their fine white sand and genes I contour and for the oceanside spot and pastime they provide. Within a stretch of about 30 miles —from 15 miles south of Sydney to 15 miles north—there are a dozen beaches. From September to April there are crowds on all, the largest at- tendance being in November, De "' .. ber, January and February, when the weather is warmest. There are usual. ly more than 100,000 persons on this stretch at the week -end. The costum- ing recalls Deauville. The municipali- ties which have these beaches within their boundaries spend large sums in bathhouses, promenades and other equipment necessary for the comfort of the visitors.
