MALACCA

Beyond its interest to the sportsman or naturalist, Malacca possesses no attrac- tions except to those who like to visit scenes famous in the annals of discovery for the bloody fights they have witnessed between the natives and the European nations who_contended for their possession. Its population in 1901 amounted to 945,870.

The revenue, which is a gradually improving one, was $707,880, in 1906. The trade is almost entirely with Singapore and the Federated Malay States. The cultivation of tapioca is the principal industry, an area of about 40,000 acres being under tapioca cultivation. The construction of a railway has had considerable influence on the cultivation of tapioca inasmuch as the demand for pigs (which are largely fed on tapioca refuse) has risen owing to the increased facilities for sending then to the Federated Malay States,
