Almost every ocui.try has, at one time or another, ft gOTernment lottery; some of them! ta fact, hare them throughout the Tear. I hare already written an ar- ticle about the Irish Hospital Sweep- stakes; this U but one form taken, nnder government patronage, to raise money. Then there are the gaming palaces â€" casinos or kursaals â€"which dot the continent at Tarlous points. Perhaps the best known of all gamb- ling palaces Is the Casino at Monte Carlo. Some of you will remember Ihe music-hall song, so popular In the "gay 90's." "The Man that Broke the Bank at Ifonte Carlo." You may not have known what the "bank" was but there â- was a lilt and swing to the song any- way- Principality of Monaco This tiny little country, with an area no larger than that of a good sized (arm (370 acres) has a population of N.OOO. It la situated on the Medi- terranean Sea just east ot Nice and Is •urrounded by the French Department (or district) of Alpes-Maritimes, ex- cept on the seafront. The capital is Monaco, a seabathing resort and the Beat of an International hyjrographic hureau established in 1921. This was •tarted by Prince Albert, who had a kobby of studying the movements of deep-sea fish, plants, etc.; he estab- lished one of the finest museums of its kind in the worfd. The rest of the 870 acres is practically occupied by two other towns, La Condamine (pop- ulation 11, 787) and, a mile to the east, the famous Monte Carlo (population 11,055) â€" a collection of hotels and .Tllias with the Casino established In i860. A Country Without Taxes The Casino of Monte Carlo provides virtually all the revenue of the Prin- cipality â€" there is a little export of olive oil, oranges, perfumes and clt- !

This revenue has steadily in- creased, so that in 1937, under the terms of the gaming concession, there will be an income from the tables of over half a million dollars. Until 1911 the reigning Prince was absolute, but the Constitution, formed at that time, has been more or less suspended by the present ruler Louis 11. The coin- age (100 franc pieces) has been cur- rent since 1876 in all states of the Latin Union. There are special pos- tage stamps and a national flag. The Gaming Tables Almost everyone passing through Monte Carlo visits the halls of chance in the gorgeous Casino. The admis- sion charge is 10 francs per person. The tables are located in huge rooms ornately decorated with gold leaf and plastered and there is a tenseness in the atmosphere that is fascinating. Like huge billiard tables, with green baize on the top, these centres of ac- tivity are surrounded by men and wo- men who show, in their faces, the strain of their occupation. Some of these women have been frequenting the tables for many years and wear the long dresses, large hats and veils of the late Victorian days. They live on the excitement of the game, carried on, I have no doubt, by means of re- mittances from home.

The players who have staked upon the number of the compartment. Into which the ball falls, receive thlrty-alz times their stake; unless they have staked upon more than one number.

Some of the tables have a minimum hazard of 5 francs while at others the hazard runs as high as 100 francs minimum. Baccaret, the other favourite game, is played with cards, any number of participants playing. These players, or rather betters, are dealt two cards each by the banker, who deals two to himself and covers the stakes of each player with an equal sum. Payments are made on the scores of the cards. A Floral Fairyland Monte Carlo is beautiful â€" lovely gardens -.v-ith palms and other tropical vegetation, the blue waters of the Me- diterranean and balmy air attract many who are not interested in games of chance.

Less Criminals During 1933 Notable Decrease â€" 2 1 ,42 1 in 1930â€" 14,538 In 1933 It is frequently supposed that pov- erty combined with concentrated popu- lation breeds crime, but figures issued by the Provincial Secretary would lead to a contrary conclusion. In the year 1930 the population of this province was 3,366,000 and the number of persons sentenced to pri- son was 21,421. This exceeded all previous records of the number of per- sons sentenced to prison in a single year in the Province of Otario. It amounted to 649 persons-per 100,000 of population. In 1933, the population rose to 3,510,- 000, an increase during three years of depression of 144,000. But in the course of the past year only 14,538 persons were sentenced to prison. This am- ounted to 415 persons per 100,000 of population. This last figure, although higher than those of the war and im- mediate post-war years. Is a consider- able improvement over the figures for 1913 and 1914 when 440 and 548 per- sons to 100,000 of population respec- tively, were sentenced. Such statistics pay a tribute to the qualities of our people, and show the sanity and firmness with which law and order has been maintained and the beneficial effects ot making pro- vision for those in distress.

LTD. 80 KING ST. WEST TORONTO Latest Findings Of Science TTie Amazing Termites â€" Their Highly Efficient So- ciety Described In Scientists' Book "Termites ano Termite Control," a report of a committee organized by the University of California and the wood-using industries and has just been published by the University of California Press. Although primarily intended for biologists, architects, en- gineers, building inspectors and users Lof wood, there are chapters here as fascinating as any novel of adventure Strange as it may seem in view of the depredations of one kind of ter- mite ($37,141,000 is their estimated annual cost) this is about the only vo- lume of its kind in print- Termites are not ants. They are more like cockroaches. In fact, ants are their deadly enemies- HABITAT OF TERMITES We usually associate termites with the tropics. They are common enough in the United States, ranging from the Gulf of Mexico to Michigan, and even further north. If we hear more of them than we used toâ€" some of New York's buildings were eaten away by them recently â€" it is because of the advances of civilization and the greater use of wood. There are two major types of ter- mites. First we have the wood-dwel- ling species (some live in damp wood and some in dry) and secondly, the earth-dwellers, which do most of the damage in the United States- In a developed colony there are re productives (a king', a queen and winged individuals called alates), soldiers and workers, not to mention nymphs or undeveloped insects in various stages. Unlike ants, each caste is made up of males and fe- males A colony is self-perpetuating. If the queen and king die, substitutes are developed from ordinary members of the colony. CONTROL OF POPULATION The king and queen found the col- ony. They do not reproduce too rapid- ly at first because they must care not only for the eggs but for the young. WTien the young are able to do the housekeeping, the queen lays more rapidly. Both eggs and queen are then cared for by newly developed workers. Work means work in a termite col- ony. Boiring tunne'.s, caring for eggs and young nymphs, feeding a help- less queen and equally helpless nymphs and soldiers, keeping the galleries clean and in repair, ventilat- ing every passage, regulating humi- dity â€" there is no end to the duties of the workers.. The soldiers are even more spe- cialized than might be supposed. There are no cowards among them. In fact they are so constructed that retreat is sure to end in death. For the rear end of a soldier is soft and vulnerable. But the front end! A strong box-like structure which can plug up a runway against an invader and which usually has enormous jaws with an irresistible crunch and a rat- tle to give an alarm. It is because of his huge fighting head the soldier is so helpless in peace. A tank must be fed with gasoline. A soldier termite must be fed too. His fighting is con- fined largely to ants. Out of the head comes a poison. It is deadly. When the time comes for the re- productives to swarm in the nuptial flight, the workers open up the gal- leries. The alates press out and take flight in a cloud. Wings are shed, males and females (now kings and queens) pair oflf and seek new colony sites. Only a few survive the nuptial BIG in size BIG in flavour BIG in value If yoo want an economical chew â€" asic for BIG BEN THE PERFECT PLUG Cheiving Tobacco J flight. Puddles, birds, ants take their toil. Even those that enter some chosen crack in wood, bore a cell for themselves and seal it up with plaster, have a hard time in the first year. Those that do survive may live to the ripeness of fourteen years. PROTECTION FOR WOOD What makes the termites so de- structive is their liking for cellulose â€" wood. Especially wood invaded by fungi. The microscope reveals the protozoa in the digestive apparatus of termites breaking up wood in a form that can be digested. Without the protozoa termites wonid starve to death. All these facts about the ways of termites must be known if their de- predations are to be prevented. An architect must build with a knowledge of chemistry and of termite habits. But they are expensive. Wood is still the cheap building material par excel- lence. If it cannot be kept from con- tact with the ground it should be treated with some unpalatable com- pound. Classified Advertising PATEITTS. 4 N OFFER TU CVER? INVE.VTOR. A.
