Only 37 families went tc the other French colonies, their caphk tal representing 113,0001, Le Temps augurs favorably from tha immigration in the “Little France of the Pacific,” and it thinks that the jaland’s resources will be rapidly de veloped. especially as no convicts have been sent to New Caledonia since 1867. In a very short time the con . viets will all be concentrated at Bow rail and at the lle Nou, and colonists will be the zole occupants of New Caledonia. ’ ———— STS Secret ls Well Kept, The secret of making carbon pacer mad typwriter ribbons is Xnown to scarcely two dozen people, | Optical Hiusion.
