PEOPLE LEAVE TEN HOUSES.

WEIRD SUBSIDENCE IN HERTFORDSHIRE.

An extraordinary, ever-widening erater, the depth of which cannot yot be plumbed, recently appeared in a road in Oxbey, Watford, Hert

fordshire.

:

Houses wero imperilled, trees, gardens, and roadway vanished into the cavity, gas mains were wrecked, and although hundreds of tons of carth have been thrown into it the fissure has become greater.

Ten families have, had to leave their homes, and the position has become so serious that experts from the Ministry of Transport and Mines Department were called in to make an examination.

FUR COATS HIS ONLY ASSET.

But theso disquicting reports about the actions of the Southern troops have led him to believe that Tientsin would no longer be safe when the Nationalists arrive. All his tutors and faithful supporters also are urging him to leave for

Mr. Pu Yi is doing what he enn to raise some money to take the desired trip. But he is encountering difficulties everywhere, His credit is no longer good and his curice are all gone. As a resort he is selling his sable coats.

Not very long ago Mr. Pu Yi bought three new cars against the advice of his conservative tutors. But he and his two consorts take pleasure in driving these cars them- selves.

He has also a weakness for the moving pictures. Once in a while he would send for the local movie man to show a few good pictires in the Chang Gardens where fis little family now reside.
