COCAINE CULTIVATION IN FORMOSA.

UVER, 500 ACRES PLANTED.

The Tuiram Shimbun (Formosa) recently. published an article on the cultivation of cocaine in Formosa A Peking, dispatch gives the following translation of the article, from which it. will be sech that Japan seems determined to keep up her reputation for the supply of deleterious drugs. The reference to the fine field for the sale of the drug in China is signi ficant:-

At frat when the importation of cocaine was cut off during the war it was very generally remarked that Formosa was suited for the preparation of the trees from which cocaine is derived, and that enor Dous profits could be got from planting the trees and manufacturing the cocaine.

Later, there were a great mùny in differ- ent parts of the island, who planted: trees by way of experiment, but as in the majority of cases it was nothing more than an experiment, only a nominally súccessful result was obtained." It was not defnitely shown whether it conid be carried on as`k business with the certainty of profita.

The Tainan branch of the Abe Shoten, however, having applied for and obtained. a permit for the purchase of about 720. acres in Chikushi-Món, Kagi Prefecture, planted over 150 acres about two or three years ago. During the past year 380 addi. tional acres have been planted and the manufacture of cooning has commenced:

The result has been better, than antici, pated. A yield of about 42 pounds of coesine is obtained. from the leaves of the trees on one acre of land Formerly Ger manny had a monopoly of the manufacture, and supplies were entirely stopped. The price rose accordingly, to more than $150 a pound. And there still will be no decline from this price until the productive capa city of Germany is restored.

"Since the nae of opium was forbidden. in China, an inclination has developed to substitute coenino for it, so that the pros pecta for cocaine will henceforward be all the brighter. As an industry for Formosa it is evidently one that, will be extremely, profitable. At any rate, it is considered a' matter for congrátúlstjan that Formosa has this year for the first time obtained a yield of 49 pounds of cocaine to the acre.

HOUSE OF "LORDS AS BUSINESS. PREMISES.

REVELATIONS IN FRAUD CHARGE.

Mr. Justice Darling expressed surpriso at the Old Briey. London, during the hearing of a case recently at the state ment by cost that the House of Lords- had been used ns business premises by the men in the conspiracy case, who were charged with obtaining £10,000 by falso pretences.

Hease had no business premises, but he, selected the House of Lords, the advantage" being, said counsel, that he had no rent to pay,hilst another possible advantage was that no references were required¿·| (Laughter.) "People attended, there to transact business with him, and he also took his meals there. He was to be found in the bar, in the dining room and in the smoking room, and he made himself quite at boine.

Counsel went on to say that Hease help- ed himself liberally to the notepaper in the House of Lords, and be also used the notepaper of the House of Commons. Fletcher was also to be found frequently in the House of Lords. Chant was a solicitor's clerk, but for the purposes of that case the other defendants promoted him to be a solicitor." On one occasion he entertained visitors to luncheon.
