Malta has its own nobility, recognized by the Court of St. James, with an official precedence granted by the Maltese government and its own committee of privileges. There are 25 of these Maltese peerages, most of them feudal titles granted by the grand masters, but one of them goes back to the Fourteenth century. The present holder of this venerable title and the premier noble of Malta is the Most Noble Mary Inguanez, baroness in her own right of and Bukana. Thi3 lady resides in an ancient and beautiful palace in Notabile. The Baroness Inguanez represents, among many other families, the ancient Maltese clan of Sceberras, which once owned the promontory on which Grand Master La Valette built the city of Valletta. The head of the Sceberras family at that time, so tradition has it, generously gave the land on which the grand masters palace was erected, to be held by the grand masters on a perpetual leasehold for the annual payment of five grains of wheat and the offering of a glass of water from the palace well. The water was to be offered to the head of the Sceberras family by the grand master himself in thl hall of the grand council, now the throne room, or Hall of St. Michael and St George. It is a peculiarity of the Maltese titles that although they Include the ranks of marquis, count, and baron, there is no distinction In seniority between the ranks, precedence be tag determined solely by the date of creation. Some of the titles are sonorous in the extreme, as examples will show: marquis of St George, Marquis Testaferrata Olivier, baron of Ghariexem and Tabia, baron of Benuarrat marquis of Gni-ecount of Ghata ibv National Geographic Society, C.-Service. jjungton, D.

The principal industry of the islands is agriculture, and the Maltese, despite the stony nature of their land, are skillful and industrious farmers with a wonderful knack of extracting the utmost from the soil, despite methods still somewhat primitive. Maltese potatoes and Maltese oranges have a high reputation, vegetables are good, while wheat does well where there is room to grow it But the islands can produce only a fraction of their annual consumption of cereals, and much has to be imported from outside. Among the most typical of the modern survivals from the era of the knights are the underground granaries in the open space between Valletta and Floriana. These are sealed with round stone lids and still are used for conserving the is lands stocks of imported grain. The lacemaking industry is tradi tional, and cloth is beginning to be woven from locally grown cotton. The countryside cannot be called grand, but Malta itself, and still of Gozo, are more the sister-islanpleasantly green in winter and a rich red in March and April when the clover is in flower. Later the freshness of winter and spring gives way to a brown aridity. Cicero referred to Malta as a land of honey and roses, while the Maltese like to call their country the "flower of the world. This term, if held to refer only to scenery and vegetation, might seem to verge on the excessive. If it be taken to apof Maltas ply to the interests and amenities, it is not altogether without justification. Solidly Built Up of Stone. Because of the density of population, the paucity of soil, and the abundance of excellent building stone, which in the course of ages takes on a beautiful golden patina, the proportion of Malta's area that is built on is exceptionally high. And every corner of the islands is eloquent of the history of the Knights of Malta. In towns, villages, and even the tiny island of Comino, from whose stony fields, where is cultivated the cumin seed from which the Island takes its name, there rise the massive square keeps which they scattered throughout their territory. The villages, called casals in Malta, are not villages in the ordinary sense. They are compact stone townships of tall houses and narrow streets, solidly built in good substantial baroque architecture and sometimes holding a population running into five figures. d many-sidedne- An you need is a broomstick, a mask, a sadistic impulse and a bathrobe.

These could not be peaceful gifts, Dr. Mathiassen reasons, for Norsemen would never have given natives their church bells to turn into hammers or eardrops. Dr. Mathiassen, who has spent nine summers exploring the Canadian Arctic and Greenland for clues to the Eskimos prehistory, found the Eskimo village containing these Norse relics at a little island called Inugsuk, off northwest Greenland.

These two types, which differ in physical properties sufficiently to enable engineers to adapt them to practical use, owe their existence to different arrange, ments of iron atoms In the iron molAnd the change from one ecule. type to the other can be controlled by the processing which the iron re ceives.
