LONDON (#).—Wives in the East End of London are demanding as & condition of their political votes, that they be entitled by law to weekly wages from their husbands. At present they are unprotected in this respect. They contend that they are unpaid housekeepers and that many do not know . what their husbands earn, or how much they will receive for house- keeping at the end of the week, if any- thing g. Police court missionaries and officers of the National Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children agree that in the industrial areas especially many husbands do not “play the game” with their wives, who often have to congre- gate at the factories on payday in an €T~rt to obtain money for their own aa: their children’s food and clothing. Hundreds of wives, the women point out, solve the problem by getting sep- argidons from their husbands on . #%ounds of neglect, desertion or cruelty. As a result of maintenance orders from the courts they are better off economic- ally than the wives who remain with their husbands. The law protects the separated wife, but not the wife who tries to keep her home intact. ‘The men argue that unsatisfactory housekeepers can be dismissed, but that a bad wife is a fixture. HENS PAY TEXAN $3,155. Finds Them More Profitable Than Cotton Growing. DENISON, Tex. (#).—Fred Morrison turned from cotton farming to make an annual profit of $3.20 from each of his 986 hens.

(#).—A barrier reef of the sea, that now stands in New Mexico nearly 1,000 miles from the ocean, is described for the Ameri- can Association of Petroleum Geologists by E. Russell Lloyd, geologist of Mid- land, Tex. Much of the reef now is buried. Its exposed portion, Lloyd says, is about 70 miles long and more than 2,000 feet high—gray, massive and very porous. It lies between Carlsbad and Guada- laupe Point. Mr. Lloyd holds that the substances composing the limestone prove that once it was a reef of the barrier type, fronting the deep sea on one side, while on the other was a sh: and extremely salty sea. by coral growths and by water deposits, Beginning of Rubber Culture. Not long ago the only rubber used grew wild, mainly in South American ‘Jungles, Seeds were carried to Kew in | 1876 by the late Sir Henry Wickham, |and they germinated. From Kew the germinations were transported to Cey- lon and then to Malaya, where the company now has rubber trees by the million on more than 60,000 acrés, and every other day a small cupful—about a third of an ounce—of latex, which is rubber juice, is collected from each tree by some 15,000 Chinese and Hindu laborers, who are employed under the direction of over 100 Europeans.
