A striking Indication of the great stimulus which the cultivation of rub ber plants has received within a few years past Ib given by the latest report of the director of arrricultur for the Federated .Malay States. In 1897 there were 345 acres of. rubber plants under cultivation there. In 1900 the area had Increased to 4,693 acres; In 1905 to 43.338 acres, and In 1907 to 126.235 acres. The fall of th price of rubber In 1907 did not inter rupt the industry, but simply led to Improved methods of production. Even at the lowest prices, the prollt of the farmers, over the cost of pro duction, Is said to bo more than 100 per cent The greatest enemies of the rubber plants are root fungus and th termites.

MAN fHlY eftlM-ON'T HANSi ) Notoriety Gained by a Most Pefiullar' Cl'xumstanos. A. great crowd gathered at th Con- grcgatlonal Church In Newton Abbott, In Devonshire, Knginr.d, recently to witness the marriage of John Lee, of Babbacnmbe, to the ho?d nurr.e of the Infirmary in the former village. There was nothing of particular luterest In the ceremony to attract so much at tention, but tho rronm'a name Is prob ably as widely known as any In that part' of England, although this no toriety was gained by a most peculiar circumstance. Lee la generally called "the man thev couldn't hang," and undoubtedly this appellation is deserved end very appropriate. Just twen'y-three years ago he was 'convicted of tho murder of the woman by whom he was em-1 ployed as butler at Baubaeoinbe. and a sentence of death was passed upon him. Evidently Providence has a spe cial fate reserved for Mr. Lee. because he escaped unharmed. Bltho'igh sev eral attempts were made to bang hlra at the Exeter Jail. The gallows in each Instance refused to act, and three times when the eondenwied man had taken his sTnnd upon the drop it frilled to fall. The remarkable pert of It all was that previous to tne actual tests the mechanism alwaya worked perfectly.
