In Peru at the period of the In- gas, before its conquest by the ~bpaniards in the early part of the sixteenth century, poverty was Icounted a crime. The whole terriâ€" tory was divided into three porâ€" tions, and the respective revenues ‘and resources were given (1) to support the priesthood and cere- monial worship of the sun, who was their god; (2) to the reigning Inca for the expenses of the royal houseâ€" hold and the cost of government; (3) to the people at so much a head. The extent of land apportioned to each householder was regulated by the size of his family. This naâ€" tion of workers wrought as one man for the common good. Their simple wants were easily and enâ€" ‘tirely satisfied, no one was over- worked, and thus they lived a hap- y and contented life, with freâ€" quent holidays and festivals. Under a social system so well organized that no man could be so poor unless he were incorriginy idle we can- not wonder that those who did fall into poverty and want through sheer indolence were regarded as deliberate criminals and were then allowed to starve.

Experiments have recently been trade at Toulon with shells intended to illuminate the sea at a distance from the land, thus disclosing the presence and movements of an enâ€" emy at night. The shells are made to explode at a great height, and to give lighe for a sufficient time to permit an examination of the sur- face of the sea for several miles from the shore. The officers in ,charge of the experiments regard the illuminating shells as more ef- fective than searchâ€"lights in disclosâ€" ‘ing the position of hostile ships. HAnother form of shell has been pro- :osed, which shall, in bursting over the sea, spread a cloud of thick ismoke about the batteries on shore, hus preventing them from seeing the approaching ships, and renderâ€" iing the illuminating s‘ ells useless.

Startling Figures Compiled by British Labor Department. Mr. G. R. Askwith, K. 0., per- manent secretary to the Board of Trade of Britain, in the 21st annual report of the‘Labor Department on strikes and lock-outs in the United Kingdom in 1908, and on Conciliaâ€" tion and Arbitration Boards, says that the “amount of industrial dis- turbances caused by trade disputes was greater in 1908 than in any year since 1898. Three disputesâ€" those of the engineering and ship- building industries on the northâ€" east coast and in the cotton spin- ning industry in Laneashire â€"« ac- counted for this. They laid idle 160,000 people, and caused the loss of 8% million working dayS*the number of workpeople involved in all the other 396 disputes being 129,000, and the Working days lost 2% millions only.

Mr. Askwith says:â€"-“It is satisfactory to note the increasing use that is being made of methods of conciliation and arbitration. The shipbuilding dispute led to a series of confer- ences, as a result of Whiti] marchin- cry was set up early in 1909 for dealâ€" ing with differences between eni- ployers and work people in this industry, while in the engineering trade and in the cotton industry similar arrangements are being considered. a pandcmonium of shouting and getsiculating.
