ISLE OF MAN

 In the Irish Sea, midway between England and Northern Ireland, lies the Isle of Man. It is famed for its tailless Manx cats and as the scene of Hall Caine’s Manx novels. More than half the area of 221 square miles (572 square kilometers) is cultivated. Grains, turnips, and potatoes are raised. The capital is Douglas. There is a mild climate, and tourism is the main source of income. Man is not part of the United Kingdom but is a crown possession administered by the British Home Office. Man has a considerable degree of self-government. Its two legislative bodies are known as the Court of Tynwald. On the hills and in the glens are relics of prehistoric, Celtic, and Norse peoples. Population (1989 estimate), 64,000.
