PAPEETE, Tahiti, July 10.—Here and there on the island of “Tahiti may be seen fragments of houses: houses with the ends cut away, expos- ing bare rooms inclosed on three sides while the fourth remains open to the weather; houses with, verandas gone; houses cut in half; others with their iron roofs taken away. Inquiry brings to light the information that these forlorn exhibits represent the . | workings of the French inheritance laws as applied to Tahiti.

British Workers Turn Out Modern Furniture With Them. WENDOVER, England, July 10.— Tucked away in the wood t country residence of the British p: miers at Chequers Court are men mak- ing modern furniture with tools similar to those used hundreds of years ago. The work shops, built in wigwam style beneath trees, contain a primitive kind of lathe made of branches of trees and bits of wire, the motive power being supplied by a long and supple branca fixed to a tree stump outside the work shop. Each lathe turns out as many as a gross of chair legs daily. Most of the craftsmen are elderly, and the oldest not only takes his meals at his lathe, but is said to sleep beside it at night.
