Efforts are being made to reclaim and plant parts of the vast tract of land which stretches for sev eral miles around Home and goes by the name of tho "Capipagna Itomana." It hns been allowed to remnln Idle and uncultivated eer since the fall of the Itoninn empire.

New Law Having Effect. Now, however, the law which was recently passed, decreeing that any one who does not cultivate Ids land to the utmost of Its capacity, is llablo to huve the land confiscated, Is be ginning to huve Its effects. I'rinco Aldobrandlnl lias engaged n company to reclaim a huge estati' of several thousands of acres, which ho owns In the "campagna." The work nlready hns heg'Jii and nn experimental station has been set up ut Ostia. The land was first of all drained and then nrrungements were mndo to obtain water from tho Tiber for Irrigation. Electric tractors to draw the plows were then bought and vnrlous kinds of fruit, vegetables and cereals wero cultivated In order to And out how fertile the lnnd Is nnd what kind of crop It Is mo6t adapted for.

Scientists In Oreat Itrltnln have been greatly Interested In the recent rase of u monkey bite resulting In the dentil of Ihe King of (.Jreece, says a London dispatch. The result Is thnt a study Is being made of the effects of bites from various animals, inasmuch as the monkey Is what Is known us a "clean feeder," It seems extraordinary that the bite of such uiuaulmal should produce tho fatal poisoning of n hu man being. It does not, however, appear that the umllgnaiicy of tin m'hIiiuiI'h bite can he measured by what It feeds upon. A dog is a carnivorous crea ture, yet Its bite seldom produces seri ous results, while on tho other nuud the bite of a horse or n donkey fre quently results in poisoning. Only n few weeks ago n woman died from being bitten by a donkey, while u mnn lost 11 bund through being nipped on the thumb by a horse. Useful Heirloom.
