“HELENA’S PATH." AT THE REPERTORY THEATRE.

T HE latest addition to the repertory of Mr. Frohman’s
Repertory Theatre is a piece not contemplated in
the original scheme, and seemingly included as evidence
that this enteiprise is not wholly given over to drama
that is either desperately intellectual or desperately
serious. “ Helena’s Path,” as its theme might sug¬
gest—that of a dispute between a gallant young Peer
and a charming lady over a right of way—is very
far from taxing inordinately either one’s brains or
one’s emotions. It is the very lightest of light comedy,
with love, but love of gossamer-like tissue, ever in
the air, and a mood of midsummer madness affecting
all the characters. The authors are Anthony Hope and
Mr. Cosmo Gordon-Lennox, and they derive their inspir¬
ation from a novel of the former’s. How slight must have
been the motif of that novel may be judged fiom the fact
that it is too slight, far too slight, tor a short three-act
play. There is no reason at all why this comedy should
not end with the second act, save that two acts do not
make more than half an evening’s entertainment, and
“Helena’s Path” has to serve as the bulk of the
programme. It is obvious almost at once that Lord
Ly(thorough and the Matchesa di San Servolo are
going 10 end their quariel by falling in love, and
though there may be skiimishes in which his obstinate
Lbidship cunningly conciliates the Maichesa’s men and
women friends, and she in her turn renders his allies
disloyal to their host, the conclusion is too long fore¬
seen to justify delays. The delays are ingenious, but
they are only too patently mechanical ; on the other
hand, they allow for scenes that contain some very pretty
sentiment. The playgoer must make his choice ; and
if he wants, as he should, the sentiment, he must not
mind the dragging - out or the artificiality of the story.
That Miss Irene Vanbiugh, as the Marchesa, is some¬
what wasted on this part can hatdly be denied ; never¬
theless, it is a pleasure tc see with what ease an
actress with marked emotional powers such as hers can
accommodate herself to a play that calls for the most
delicate and airy art. She has the right sort of asso¬
ciate in Mr. Charles Bryant, whose young Seigneur
has just the gallantry, the audacity, and the light¬
hearted fervour to be expected of a Watteau lover.
Along with their performances should be mentioned
that of Miss Mary Jerrold, delicious as an Irish girl
who is no less challenging than she is superficially
demure ; while Mr. Charles Maude, Mr. Arthur Whitley,
and Mr. Frederick l.loyd are other players who keep
well in the picture. An audience in the proper temper
ought to enjoy both acting and play.

| HOW THE FARMAN AEROPLANE
IS CONTROLLED.

[See Illustrations.')

V r ARIOUS interesting problems are set up when we
come to consider the control of a vehicle which
| has what may be called motion in three dimensions
j A vessel on land or water has but to be controlled in
motion along one plane, the horizontal ; and, in steer-
ing, it is a question of turning to the right or the left
In the aeroplane, however, we have to consider up-and-
down motion as well as that from side to side.

In brief, the controlling functions of a flying-machine
may be set out thus—

Horizontal steering, to right or left (by rudder).
Upwaid steering (by elevator).

Downward steering (by elevator).

Balancing (by stabilising device).

Engine speed.

In a vehicle travelling at high speed in such a mobile
medium as the air it is absolutely essential that the
controlling movements should be as simple, rapid, and
reliable as possible. The aeroplane, however, is a very
sensitive instrument, and the human element counts a
good deal. The man with the right “touch” gets far
better results than one who has not this invaluable gift
No better example can be taken than the Farman
b plane to illustrate the working of the modern aeio-
plane ; and assuming the reader has taken his seat on
such a machine, I may set out the controlling agents at
his command thus—

(«) Control-lever (right hand ) working j

(b) Pedal-lever (feet) .. .. working the rudders.

M Motor - lever, („/, W) j ^XtUSoS;

The pilot’s functions are thus in three main groups.
At his right hand is the control-lever, and this is really
the main control of the whole machine. From the upper
part of this lever run cables fore and aft to the
elevators, one of which is mounted in front of the
machine and one at the rear. Two other cables run to
right and left, and are connected with the ailerons or
stabilisers, which are seen as flap-like extensions at the
rear of the main planes.

The control-lever has four movements, best remem¬
bered by calling them after the points of the compass.
The fore-and-alt movements, that is to say the north and
| south, govern the elevators; the side movements, or east
I and west, control the stabilisers.

I At his feet is a pedal-lever mounted on a pivot. Pres-
I sure with the right foot so actuates the duplex-rudders
that the machine steers to the right; pressure with the
I left foot steers to the left. In turning, or in correcting
any rolling from side to side, the rudder and the stabil¬
isers are worked in unison, for the functions to some
extent are inter-connected.

With his left hand the aviator can control the ignition
I of the engine and the supply of fuel, and thus increase or
| decrease the speed, or stop the motor instantly.

Now, with the aviator in his seat, the control-lever
in his right hand, his feet on the rudder-bar, and his
left hand on the engine-levers, we can assume him
ready to take the air. His mechanic starts the engine
by vigorously pulling round the propeller, and, after a
few failures, the motor starts up with the roar of a
Gatling gun. Three or four assistants hold back the
| machine until the aviator gives the signal to let go.

With a bound, the machine dashes forward, and if
all goes well it gradually rises off the ground as the
speed increases. The expert aviator than handles his
elevators with great skill and delicacy, for the slightest
deflection from the horizontal pioduces its effect. In
the diagrams, for clearness, the movements have to be
shown exaggerated very much ; but in practice very
slight and delicate motions are required to get the
machine smoothly into the air, and any wrong man¬
oeuvre is followed with dire results.

A rising effect is obtained by tilting the front elevator
upwatds, and this action automatically tilts the rear
elevator downwatds. The upward pressure under the
nose of the machine increases, whilst it decreases at
the rear. Thus the front rises and the rear sinks, and
so the machine climbs higher into the air.

Once the machine is in motion, the hinged ailerons,
which hang down limply, whilst the aeroplane is station¬
ary, stream out in the same line as the main planes.
Now, suppose a sudden upwaid gust of wind strikes
the left side of the machine underneath, and tends to
tilt this side up. The balancing device is then needed,
or the whole machine might heel over.

Feeling the machine rising alarmingly on the left
side, and consequently sinking on the light side, the
aviator pulls his control-lever over to the left side,
ai d b’y a natural movement inclines his body to the
left side, and also presses the left pedal. Here we
see how the control-functions have been arranged to
harmonise with one’s natural instincts in restoring
balance, for with the depression of the machine on the
right side, all the movements ate made to the left.

The control-lever movid to the left pulls down the
right aileron, and this sets up increased air-pressure
and resistance on that side, thus causing the right side
of the machine to be forced upwatds. But if this action
alone were followed, there would be a tendency to slew
the whole machine around to the right, as, owing to
the resistance, the right side would be travelling more
slowly than the left. By actuating the left rudder at the
same time, however, this slewing action to the right is
corrected, and the machine is steered to the left.

In the air the pilot has constantly to show his skill in
balancing, steering, and changing from one altitude to
another.

There remains to be considered the important
function of coming down. An endless variety of
methods is here to be noted, from the bieakneck plunge
of the doomed aviator to that gentle glide in which the
machine touches earth with the lightness of a snowflake.
This delicate art is not attainable always even by tfi e
most expert aviator ; and it can only be learned in the
school of experience. R. P. Hf.akne.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, May 7, 1910.-671

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

I INTRODUCE myself on this page every week with
all the feelings of the stage villain when he ex¬
claims, “At last I am alone.” 1 can soliloquise as if
in a desert; not even the superhuman patience of the
Comic Man in the overhearing of soliloquies could hold
out against my soliloquies. No one will, expect to find
me flattened between the first two pages of an illus¬
trated magazine. Everybody reads a magazine; but
nobody I ever heard of reads the first page of a
magazine. A magazine is a thing one opens any¬
where but at the beginning. So I am safe—safer
than in the darkest forest or the most desolate moun¬
tain-peak. 1 am alone. Here I give my short and
scornful laugh. Profiting by this luxury of a monologue
without an audience, I propose to be indecently ego¬
tistical and utter a soul-render¬
ing personal complaint. If I am
not entirely a villain, neither am
I solely or unmixedly a comic
man. I have occasionally in my
life made jokes, and I have also
occasionally been serious. And
this, I had always understood,
was the not unusual practice of
my fellow-creatures. But I have
discovered that this explanation
is. not considered sufficient in
my case ; I am always supposed
to be engaged with some tor¬
tuous or topsy-turvy intention.

When I state the dull truth
about anything, it is said to be a
showy paradox ; when I lighten
or brighten it with any common
jest, it is supposed to be my
solid and absuid opinion. If I
ask a rational question of an
opponent, it is considered a
wild frivolity. But if I make an
ordinary idle pun, it is gravely
explained to me that my analogy
is rather a verbal parallelism
than a philosophic example of
the operations of a common
law. Thus I was in controversy
lately with some writers on a
certain journal who maintain
that such a doctrine as that of
miracles (let us say) is not a
truth, but the symbol of a truth.

I merely asked them, “ What
is the truth of which it is a
symbol?” You would think that
was a courteous, relevant, and
reasonable question. The answer
of the journal was to cast up its
eyes and clasp its hands, and
a»k distractedly how it could be
expected to argue with such a
wild, elusive, ever - changing,
fantastical, and irresponsible
jester as myself. On the other
hand, I casually summed up
the distinction between the su¬
pernatural and the unreason¬
able by the phrase that one
might believe that a Beanstalk
grew up to the sky without
having any doubts about how many beans make five.
For this a writer, intelligible and presumably human,
actually rebuked rne, gravely asking me whether I
believed in the Beanstalk! When I make common
jokes they are regarded as highly uncommon opinions.
When I state solid opinions, they are regarded as
giddy jokes. But no matter. A time will come.

Two quite amusing cases of it occurred only the
other day. It happened that I had to make an
after-dinner speech in response to some remarks
which had turned on the topic of water, in what
connection I cannot recall; perhaps it was geography
and water-sheds, or perhaps it was municipal politics
and water - works; or perhaps pathology and water
on the brain ; or perhaps temperance reformers who

(according to some) have water on the brain after
another fashion. Anyhow, l had to say something;
so I explained that, in my opinion, water was a
medicine. It should be laken in small quantities in
very extreme cases; as when one is going to faint.
1 denounced the harshness and inhumanity of those
who would forbid the use of water altogether; I
would not even go so far as to say that water
should only be procurable by a doctor’s prescription
at a chemist’s. Sudden domestic crises might arise,
extraoidinary circumstances under which the sternest
moralist must excuse water - drinking. But on
habitual water - drinking I frowned with unmistakable
sternness, pointing out Ihow many fine young men
had begun by persuading themselves that they

must do as other fellows did; and who are now in¬
curable teetotalers themselves.

Now in all this nonsense there is just this grain of
fact, that it is very wise to drink water when you feel
faint, and often not so wise to drink wine or spirits.
That is truth enough to form the basis of a mock
theory. But afterwards an earnest idealist actually
came and argued with me about it; gravely pointing
out that water does not contain a quality which it
seems is called “alcohol”; pointedly urging that
water, if filtered, distilled, and analysed every hour or
so in a strictly scientific style, would generally be
found to be free from deadly poison. This wonderful
man really thought, in his wonderful mind, that I had
meant every word I said.

Now for the other side of my sad case. Not only
did this man think^me serious when I was joking, but
he also thought me joking when I was serious. In
attempting to explain away and soften a little the
severity of my war upon water, I fell into talk with
him about the temperance problem generally. And I
said (as I always do whenever I get the chance) that
the objection to most temperance legislation is simply
that it is religious persecution. That is to say, it
is the imposition upon a whole people, by force,
of a morality that is not the morality of that whole
people ; that is not the morality of half the people ;
that is simply a special morality sincerely held by
a group of governing, active, and influential per¬
sons. It is not self-evident that beer is bad ; it is
not the general opinion of man¬
kind that beer is bad: it is one
honest and logical opinion held
by one public - spirited and
powerful group. To enforce
such an opinion by the police
is persecution. I also said:
“ The one vile piece of oppres¬
sion and injustice that makes
my blood boil more than all the
other tyrants and torturers of
the earth is the recent prac¬
tice of taking away the old
Christmas beer from the old
people in workhouses.” Now,
in saying this, I am not only
serious, but savage : I feel in¬
clined to burn something, or
shoot somebody, rather than
that such inhuman humbug
should endure. Nothing proves
more sharply that our modern
humanitarianism is a rut of
words, a routine of associations,
than the fact that, while we pro¬
fess to be furious at the cruel¬
ties done to childhood, we are
not even faintly stirred by the
cruelties done to old age. Once
picture an old man as plainly
as you picture a child, and you
will see at once that a poker-
blow on the head is often less
to a child than the sudden re¬
moval of a custom and a com¬
fort from an old man. Brutality
to children is hellish, and One
cannot get lower than hell ; but,
if there are any dark shades in
infamy, we might at least say
that the young are young, that
they often forget wrongs ; that
they generally survive them ;
that if they do, they inherit our
splendid mortal life. But that
those who are close to that
unthinkable tragedy which is
before us all, whose powers and
pleasures are narrowing of their
own nature, who cling to custom
as to the cord of sanity, that
these poor old people should
have their few days blasted and
revolutionised whenever a professor gets a bee in his
bonnet — this seems to me the last dregs of impudence
and impiety. I am serious about this, if being murder¬
ous is being serious. Well, when my idealistic friend
heard me say this about beer in workhouses, he burst
into a perfect yell of hilarity and delight; cachinnation
caught him again and again, and between his happy
shrieks he managed to say, “ Oh, that's very good . . .
you always are so paradoxical . . . how these funny
ideas come into your head I don’t know . . . oh, that’s
very good indeed ! ” And the earnest idealist went
away shaking with laughter, and left the paradoxical
jester shaking with rage.

But a time will come. In fact, bet wren ourselves (if
such bosh goes on much longer), I really think it will.

THE DISCOVERER OF THE NORTH POLE ARRIVES IN ENGLAND: COMMANDER PEARY,
WITH HIS FAMILY AND CAPTAIN BARTLETT, ABOUT TO LAND AT PLYMOUTH.
Commander Peary arrived at Plymouth last Monday by the Nord Deutscher Lloyd liner, " Kronprinzessin Cecilie,” with his wife, two
children, and Captain. Bartlett, the Newfoundland skipper of the ''Roosevelt,” who, next to Commander Peary himself, has the
distinction of having reached farthest North. On Tuesday, Commander Peary was entertained at the Royal Societies Club luncheon j
and his further engagements were arranged as followsi on Wednesday, his lecture, "My Expedition to the North Pole,” before the
Royal Geographical Society in the Albert Hall; on Thursday, his first public lecture, at the Queen's Hall, under the presidency
of Captain Scott. Yesterday (Friday), Commander Peary bad arranged to leave for the Continent, where he is to lecture in Berlin,
Vienna, Budapest, and other cities. He is due back in this country for the Royal Geographical Society's dinner cn May 23, and
for subsequent engagements at Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, and Bristol. He leaves for America
on June 15. The figures in our photograph (from left to right) are—Captain Bartlett, Miss Marie Peary, Commander Peary,

“NAPHTHA IS ONE OF THE FINEST GEMS IN THE IMPERIAL DIADEM.”

IN THE CITY OF BAKU, THE HEART OF THE OIL INDUSTRY, A GREAT COMMERCIAL CITY.

TpHE oil-bearing regions of
Russia are one of the
greatest sources of the nation's
wealth. As the Russians
themselves say, "Naphtha it
one of the finest gems in the
imperial diadem.” Baku, the
centre of the oil industry, as
well as a great commercial
city in other ways, provides
strong attraction, therefore,
to many business men. Its
natural wealth has been
compared, indeed, with that
of Kimberley. It is not re¬
nowned for its dealings in
oil alone, all - important as
they are, and ever-growing as
they appear to be. According
to the latest statistics the port
of Baku, on its turnover

of goods, takes first place

amongst all the ports of
Russia, not only on the (las'
plan, but on the Black and
Baltic Seas. The coasting
trade for last year amounted
toS.156.452 tons. The foreign
trade for the same period
to 181,531 tons, a marked

increase on that of previous

years. Imports reached 470,546
tons — that is to say 67.541
tons more than 1908.

*T*HE chief Rems of Baku's
foreign imports are given
as rice, cotton, and fruits; those
of the coasti ng-trade imports, as
timber, wheat, sugar, metals,
and manufactured metal ar¬
ticles. The items of expert
abroad are shown to be,
amongst others, sugar, metals,
and manufactured metal ar¬
ticles, manufactured articles,
and wheat; to Russian ports,
amongst others, wheat, metals,
manufactured metal articles,
sugar, and fruit. During last
year 7565 steam and sailing-
ships, coasting and foreign,
arrived at the port. On the
passenger and pas enger-
irading vessels 98,123 p«»-
sengers were brought in
during last year, and 88.668
were carried out. In addition
to this, 22,167 pilgrims, who
had arrived at the port, were
embarked. All this, be it
noted, in addition to the great
oil trade, the ir portance of
which, especially when there
seems a possibility of the
navies and the steam-ship
owners of the world adopting
oil fuel, can scarcely be over¬
estimated.

Baku, from ancient times a place of the fire-worshippers, belonged in earlier day* to the Persians and to the Turks. It was captured by Russia in 1806. As we have already noted, it can
claim high place amongst the commercial centres of the world. The new waterworks and o’her improvements that are to be made will provide work for engineers lor some time to come.

For the greater part of the year its climate leaves little to be desired.

MR. ELLISON VAN HOOSE,

S EVERAL things make the present Acad¬
emy an eventful and interesting one.
Perhaps the pictures that are absent are as much responsible for this as any
of the seven hundred and seventy - seven included can¬
vases. An Academy without the backbone of Mr. Sargent’s
portraits did not promise well, and it is true that the Large
Gallery falls to pieces for lack of the stamina of a masterpiece
like the “Lord Wemyss” or the “Lord Ribblesdale ” of pre¬
vious years. No Mancini gives depth to the south wall, to
which one instinctively turns for the pictures that the Hanging
Committee intends to honour. Mr. Stott is again found there,
but with a “Good Samaritan” in which the figures block out
so much of the painter’s beloved Sussex landscape that it can¬
not be called a fair
sample of his art.

There is but one
work from the brush
of Mr. La Thangue,
who can generally be
counted on to make
four rooms interest¬
ing; there are but
three very small works
by Mr. Clausen ; there
is no contribution
from Mrs. Swynner-
ton. On paper, then,
it is a hopeless Acad¬

more bad things than
good things among
the missing.

fully coloured records of civic functions of to-day.
Mr. Abbey harks back to a very theatrical con¬
vention in “The Camp of the American Army
at Valley Forge, February 1778.” The size of
the canvas, at least, may be forgiven him, for,
like “ Penn's Treaty with the Indians,” in Gal¬
lery VIII., it is painted for the Pennsylvania State
Capitol. In neither of these compositions has the
sense of humour and of the picturesque been
enlarged to correspond with the foot-measurement.
The first-named subject would lose nothing if re¬
duced to the size of one of Mr. Abbey's drawings
in Harper's.

With but two or three exceptions, the pictures of
Tie year are small pictures, and few of the pictures
that are not pictures of the year are obtrusive in scale.
Mrs. Laura Knight has painted with a lavish brush,
to nobody’s discontent; so, too, has Mr. George
Henry; and Mr. Arnesby Brown's “ Silver Morning,”
bought by the Chantrey Bequest, is large as land¬
scapes go For the rest, from Mr. Clausen’s exqui¬
site “ From a London Back Window,” in the first
room, to Mr. Norman Garstin’s “Wet Sunday "and
Mr. Tuke’s “All’s Well” in the last, the average
size of the canvases is far below the usual standard.
An Academy of small pictures proves to be much
less of an ordeal, for exhibitors and visitors, than
an Academy of big pictures, but the critics, reluc¬
tant to acknowledge the reforms that are slowly
depriving them of the butt for their best abuse, stifl
find Burlington House the worst possible place to
see pictures in. Mr. Lewis Hind, in the Chronicle ,
devoted half his Academy article to the description
of his escape from Piccadilly on the top of a
’bus ; and the first notice in the Morning Fust
was devoted to the sculpture, the architecture, and
to anything but the paintings. But the reforms,
and Mr. Orpen, are there, and well worthy of
attention.

the same hour in afternoon or evening there may be three
concerts in progress, none of which the enthusiast cares to
miss ; while on and after Monday evening there will be the
double attractions of opera at His Majesty’s and at Covent
Garden. 'To-day (May. 7). while Moriz Rosenthal is playing
at the Queen’s Hall, Melba will be celebrating her return
to town at the Albert Hall; and in the past fortnight the
first act of certain “Ring” performances must have done
something to check the attendance at afternoon concerts.
For the first “Ring” cycle there is nothing but praise.
The weary Sprach -
gesang tactics of so
many Wagner singers
are no longer en¬
couraged — one
might, perhaps, say
are no longer toler¬

gains immensely in
its appeal when it is
vocalised to the full¬
est possible extent.

Throughout the first
performances of the
“ Ring,” the remin¬

the tri¬

past season : we welcome a Bt unnhilde who would
not attract attention as a giantess in a country fair,
who is tender, human, and sympathetic. She is not a
Ternina—it has not been given to any artist of our
generation to reach the height scaled by the greatest
Wagnerian singer and actress our stage has ever
seen—and Mme. Saltzmanti Stevens has yet to’acquire
Ternina’s stage experience. A new Loge, M. Sem-
bach, made an immediate appeal ; and the Mime
of Hans Bechstein retains its many qualities.

To hear and see Dr. Richter in the conductor’s
seat is to understand why he has been able to
say that if the scores of the “ Ring” were lost, he
could rewrite them from memory. While he grasps
every point, and can give their cues to singers
and players alike, he never loses sight of the whole
work ; he preserves a perfect balance between the
voice and its complex accompaniment. When we
see those who know something of the score look¬
ing on with astonishment, we are reminded of
Goldsmith’s lines—

And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew,

That one small head could carry all he knew.

In Verdi’s “ Traviata ” and “ Rigoletto,” Mme.
Tetrazzini lias roused rare enthusiasm, her singing
of the “Caro Nome” in the last named ending on
a clear-ringing E in alt. that few living soprani
could reach so surely. In “Traviata” she takes
her r61e seriously : for her the unsavoury heroine
of Verdi’s opera is a creature of flesh and
blood, instead of bran or sawdust. This being
so. it is a pity that her dress cannot be accommo-
ended to the period. Sammarco, John McCormac k,
nd Raufield. and a newcomer from Russia — M. Rostowsky,

who is alleged to be able to sing the difficult
music of Gounod’s Rom6o—have ali distinguished
themselves in the Verdi operas, and Signor Cam-
panini has directed them with vigour and insight.

LANDSCAPE GARDENING EXTRAORDINARY: "DWARF GARDENS AT THE ANGLO - JAPANESE EXHIBITION AT THE WHITE CITY.

A a we had occasion to remark in a recent issue. Japanese gardening may be described as landscape gardening in an actual, as opposed to our conventional sense. The chief aim is to imitate nature
on a small scale, with the aid of dwarf trees, miniature houses, and tiny bridges and streams, to say nothing of mountains a few feet high. There will be two Japanese Gardens at Shepherd's
Bush, each ol them designed by foremost artists of Japan and each covering about 100.000 square feet of land. Our Illustrations show the gardens themselves, together with small trees trained
to the shape of storks. We also publish, as additions to the decoration of the page, photographs of lilies in the land of the chrysanthemum, a player of the samisen. Japanese girls beneath
blossom-laden cherry-trees, and Japanese girls washing their hands in an old stone basin outside one of the windows of their house. The Exhibition is due to open on the 12th.

There is no need to retell the story of M. Louis Paulhan’s flight from London to Manchester for the “Daily Mail's" .£10.000 prize. It is interesting to note a few personal details.
M. Paulhan. then, is twenty-six. At sixteen he was a member of a travelling circus in France, a tight-rope walker and a bare-back rider. Later he was a mechanic, working on the French
dirigible, the “Ville de Paris." During that period he won a prize offered by Messrs. Voisin Frfcres for the best model flying-machine. The award took the form of a Voisin biplane, and
the future great aviator, aided 'by others, bought an engine with which to fit it. Later still, as a volunteer, he joined the aerostatic battalion of the French Army. He made his first
appearance as a flying man only last year. ThreeTweeks after his start he created a world's record by flying to a height of 400 feet. It will be seen that his progress has been extraordinarily
rapid. He has said that he would not repeat the London-to-Manchester flight under the conditions prevailing last, week for .£20.000.

ALCOHOL IN NATURE. /. ^ j — - ~

T HE alcohol question is one of those topics which
seem endowed with perennial vitality, but it is
somewhat remarkable that the discussions nowadays
conducted regarding it have completely changed
their character. I am old enough to remember the
bitter controversies which raged round the question
whether or not alcohol, taken in moderation, was
injurious to the body. Dr. Anstie had contributed
a masterly discussion on the use of alcohol in health
and disease, and Dr. Parkes, of Netley, famous as
a hygienist, as the result of researches had shown
that no difference in the health of young men was to
be noted when the quantity of absolute alcohol con¬
sumed did not amount to more than one and a half
ounces per day. Dr. Hammond, of New York, had
also been investigating the alcohol question and its
value, and had found that it tended to preserve the
bodily equilibrium when a food - supply was experi¬
mentally made less than the normal.

These researches paved the way for the work of _^ mat, m/icoaui

Doctors Attwater and Benedict of America. They produced must pass into the system. Some strain-

came to the conclusion that alcohol was chemically CLEANING THE SYPHON OF THE CONCORDE (PARIS) « dropping mg of the argument for the feeding of the B. colt

We can detect it in plants, and, pace the ab¬
stainers, plants produce alcohol and use it as well
in their vital operations. The yeast plant turns
sugar into alcohol and carbonic-acid gas, and a
bottle of claret which has become soured is thus
altered through the action of a vinegar - forming
organism that lives on the alcohol of the wine.
Jn animal tissues alcohol is also found, but only
in small quantities, for, necessarily, as is pointed
out, it is easily oxidised, and so any large amount
would be quickly consumed. The muscles of
higher animals have actually been found to con¬
tain ferments which change the sugar or starch
supplied into alcohol, this change being probably
effected through the medium of lactic acid (a mus¬
cular waste product), and itself one of the results
of the using-up in the body of sugar-food.

Professor Dixon mentions the curious fact that the
Bacillus coli of the large bowel (of whose effects in
the way of causing premature old age so much has
lately been heard) can produce from 9 to 17 per cent,
of alcohol when allowed to grow on sugar. As this
action must occur in the body, it is fair to conclude
that, as Professor Dixon remarks, the alcohol so
produced must pass into the system. Some strain¬
ing of the argument for the feeding of the B. coli
on sugar and starchy foods might hold that sour
milk containing lactic acid, as well as the diet just

producing foods, such as sugar.
At the present date these views
hold the fort scientifically. They
do not imply that alcohol is
either a necessary or desirable
“food”; they do not interfere
with any social temperance work
that is intended to limit alcoholic
abuse ; they do not countenance
the common drinking habits of
any country; they simply set
alcohol in its proper place as a
“food,” and they teach us that
1 oz. of alcohol equals about £ oz.
of fat, or if oz. of sugar or starch
as an energy - producing sub¬
stance. Further, it is stated that
about z\ oz. of alcohol may re¬
place equivalent quantities of fat,
sugar, and starch in a diet with¬
out involving disturbance of the
bodily functions.

So far, then, the exact nature
of alcohol, in relation to bodily
nutrition has been made clear.
Beyond this special aspect of the
subject, however, lies another and
equally interesting phase of the

the idea could be proved to be
true, since people who formerly
came to curse alcohol in all it-s
shapes and forms might pre¬
sumably alter their tone to one
of blessing.

No wonder our author re¬
marks that most of our views on
1 he use of alcohol have changed
during the last quarter of a cen¬
tury. Even it is now credited, on
scientific grounds, with economis¬
ing the fat and the nitrogenous
constituents of the body, in this
way acting as a sop to the Cer¬
berus of destruction of tissue as
the result of work. But Professor
Dixon is clear enough on the
point—that if alcohol is a food
it does not follow that its artificial
consumption is desirable. Neither
does it follow, in the oft-repeated
language of uninstructed people,
that it is a poison. Social reforms
lose nothing but gain much from
being founded on accurate scien¬
tific details. Persons who do not
know the facts about alcohol are

matter. In a recent paper Professor W. E. Dixon, of exafnple, Professor Dixon strikes a remarkable keynote readily satirised by the man who sits in the chair of
Cambridge, has admirably summarised the facts relating in his declaration that alcohol is widely distributed in the scorner. True temperance remains, as heretofore,
to alcohol and living tissues at large. This paper nature, but is only found in connection with living cells. the safe way of life. Andrew Wilson.

Cap east of Disco Bay. In all. he has sought to reach the Pole eight times, and it was his eighth attempt that was the successful one. In July of 1905 he reached latitude 87'6. 200 miles
from the North Pole Describing the actual discovery of the Pole, he has written: "We arrived at 90 degrees North at 10 o’clock in the morning of April 6. and we left there about 4 o’clock

BY A JAVANESE AUBREY BEARDSLEY . “ THE THREE BRIDES."-JAN TOOROP.

••Jan Toorop was born at Poerwored|o (Java) on 20 Dec., 1860. His father was a settler of Norwegian extraction,
and his mother a Javanese of English origin. ... In 1874 he was sent to Holland. ... His mysticism declared
itself in 1889 in consequence of a serious illness. ... At last his symbolical manner assumed an aspect of flowing,
tortuous lines, where his old Javanese memories are blended with expressive distortions. ... To this period we
owe . . . ‘The Three Brides," in which we may observe . . . the mystic, exalted and confused idea of an esoteric
neo-buddhism."

••Michel Wroubel, born in 1856, now blind and
mentally deranged, . . . has painted . . . the most
exquisite apparitions ever dreamt of in Oriental
tales or Russian legends. Such is ‘ Koupava/
borrowed from a Russian tale, the princess-swan
wearing a tall diadem of diamonds and pearls over
large black eyes and moving about in that vague
whiteness in which wings may be divined.”

Finn, Mark was at his best; here he was
supreme ; he knew boys as Thackeray
and Dickens knew them, and the great
river, and the Southern society of a de¬
parted day. He was honest, courageous,
clear-sighted, upright, kind, and in face
of many troubles and many sorrows,
indomitable.

His death does not “eclipse the
gaiety of nations,” for he had done his
work, had given us his gaiety; and has
left his example of fortitude, goodness,
devotion to duty and to honour: an
example as worthy as Sir Walter Scott’s.

The most obvious way to prevent decay

of the teeth is to remove the particles of food which cling
to and remain between them after eating, and it is clear that
this can only be done by means of a liquid antiseptic
dentifrice and mouth - wash.

Odol is the preparation to use, for a few drops mixed with a tumbler
of water make an emulsion which will thoroughly cleanse and purify the
oral cavity, destroying all injurious bacteria nesting there. Odol penetrates
the interstices between the teeth and impregnates the mucous membrane of
the mouth, exerting its marvellous powers, not only during the few moments
while using it, but for hours afterwards.

It is this lasting effect, this precious quality—which no other dentifrice or mouth - wash
possesses, even approximately — that gives to daily users of Odol the absolute assurance
that their mouths are permanently protected against the processes of fermentation and
decomposition which, if not guarded against, inevitably destroy the teeth.

Odol is used by Doctors

and Dentists themselves,

THE PLAYHOUSES.

“LOUIS XI." AT THE QUEEN’S.

RGED by a natural and very charming piety, Mr.
H. B. Irving seems resolved to keep the memory.

his father’s greater im- ,_ _

personations alive ; and so
we find him taking over one
after another of the parts
associated with Sir Henry’s
name. In this way “The
Bells,’’ “The Lyons Mail,”

“ Charles I.,” “The Cor¬
sican Brothers,” and “Louis
^1- * have all passed into
h*s repertory. It is not
easy, under such conditions,
to criticise the younger
man’s performances. The
sentiment on his side, the
recollections on the part of
the playgoer, result in a sort
°f confusion, in which it is
difficult to distinguish the
original contribution of the
newcomer or to make any
definite comparisons. Irving
fits cannot help taking ad¬
vantage of his father’s ex¬
perience : and the playgoer
cannot help looking at the
son’s rendering through a
mist of prepossessions and
of remembrances. The re¬
semblances between the
two readings are set to
the credit account only
to be discounted, the dif
ferences are accentuated,
and, unless prejudice is
sternly repressed, are dis¬
liked. Making all allow¬
ances, however, the critic
may fairly say that such
a study in diablerie , such
opportunities for the dis¬
play of craft and ferocity,
and craven fear and super¬
stition and crazy humour,
as the part of Louis XI. I
provides, appeal alike to the 1
intelligence and the imagination of Mr. Irving. He has
a real gift for the analysis and the expression of criminal
pyschology, and if we once forget what the older actor
accomplished with this melodramatic character, it is
impossible to deny the subtlety and intensity, the pictur¬
esqueness and the ferocity, which any playgoing novice

would discover in his representation. The terror of this
Louis XI. under the dagger of Nemours, the ogre-like
sensuality the old man is made to show towards the
girl he comes across, the alternations of malignity and
cunning deference here suggested, are bound to be

impressive; and Mr. Irving’s revival, thanks to his own
acting, and the charm of Miss Dorothea Baird as the
heroine, Marie, and the vivacity of Mr. Eille Norwood as
Nemours, and the capital work of Mr. Tyars, Mr. Vibart,
and Miss Rosina Filippi, ought to obviate the necessity
for any substitute at the Queen’s for many a week.

SHAKtSPEARE REVIVAL ENDS AT HIS MAJESTY’S.

When the curtain fell last Saturday night on 11 The
Merchant of Venice,” Sir Herbert Tree came in front
to announce his future plans at His Majesty's. He
gives place, of course, to Mr. Beecham and his season
of light opera, and goes on
a provincial tour in the
meanwhile. But he has
plenty of plays ready for his
supporters, and he was able
to announce a very inter¬
esting combination for the
autumn. He proposes to
rely once more upon Shake¬
speare when that time
comes round, and counts
on the assistance of Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Bourchier.
“ Henry VIII.” will be
revived, he himself play¬
ing Wolsey to the King
of Mr. Bourchier and the
Queen Catherine of Miss
Violet Vanbrugh. He has,
also dramas ot more mod¬
ern authors than Shake¬
speare at his disposal—a
piece written by Mr. Zang-
will “ which deals in an
ethical spirit with world
politics ” ; a pageant play
of Mr. Louis Parker’s com¬
posing, a poetic drama,
presumably, to which Mr.
Alfred Noyes, author of the
“ Drake” epic, has put his
name; and. finally, a play
lor which a Hungarian dra¬
matist, Melchior Langyel,
is responsible, “Typhoon,”
which is now running at
the Berliaer Theater, and
has for characters a group of
Japanese students resident
in Europe. On the whole it is
a very promising programme.

** TWO MERRY MONARCHS." AT THE STRAND.
“Two Merry Monarchs,” that bright musical comedy
which has already done well at the Savoy, has been
transferred to the Strand Theatre, where popular prices
are being charged, and the change of address calls for
mention if only because Mr. Hayden Coffin and the new
comedian, “ Smith,” are associated with the venture.
Mr. Coffin retains his mannerisms, but he also retains
his clear enunciation, his stage ease, and the charm of
his voice, and he makes the music of the piece seem
far more melodious than it is in reality. “Smith” is a
genuine “ find,” a comedian with a natural sense of fun,
much good-humour, energy, and vivacity, but he lacks,
for the present, style and restraint. Mr. Lennox Pawle
and Mr. Robert Whyte are still the drollest of monarchs,

that there is more of Leipsic than of London in the

not always given a final revision to their proofs.

LADIES’ PAGE.

I N founding a community of nuns — “ the Order of
SS. Martha and Mary, Sisters of Mercy, for devo¬
tion, and love to one’s neighbour”—of which she has
been consecrated Abbess, the Grand Duchess Sergius
of Russia lias only followed the example of French
ladies of the old noblesse. Indeed, in ancient England,
before there was any question of a reformed Church,
the Abbesses of the great foundations were often ladies
of the highest rank. St. Hilda, the crumbling remains
of whose Abbey are still to be seen at Whitby, was a
Princess of the blood—the granddaughter of a King of
Northumbria; and several other saints of the earlier
Christian records in Britain were likewise Abbesses
who had forsaken Courts to found and rule over sister¬
hoods. The list could be made long of the Princesses of
France who, weary of the world or impressed with a
jense of duty to humanity, forsook Courts for cloisters.
Convents then were schools for girls, retreats for
gentlewomen, needlework manufactories, nursing homes,
and charitable societies to help the sick, the poor and
the aged, and to give refuge to women in any peril.
The sisterhood founded by the Grand Duchess Sergius
is, of course, in connection with the Greek Church,
which she, together with her younger sister, the Tsaritsa,
and her cousin, the Crown Princess of Greece, have
joined as a result of their marriages with Princes
belonging to that Church.

The Grand Duchess Sergius has long been famous
in Russia for her devotion to charitable work. She
is the second daughter of our Princess Alice, from whom
she inherits her benevolent disposition. Darmstadt still
retains many of the charities founded by its English
Grand Duchess, of whom her brother (King Edward)
wrote in simple phrase on her death that she was
“so good, so kind, so clever.” Amongst others, she
founded a society such as is greatly needed here, and
never so much as at this moment, when a dreadful
law—newly come into force—is making havoc in the
lives of poor women at their most critical moment.
This is an Act of Parliament which forbids poor
mothers to avail themselves of the paid services
of experienced women in their hour of greatest need
unless a “ certificated ” midwife can be found to
employ; while the sapience of our masculine law¬
givers has at the same time made no sort of pro¬
vision to supply the country with such “ certificated
attendants. There was an article upon the subject in
the April Nineteenth Century—and After , which
indicates the trouble but faintly. Poor women are so
helpless, so inarticulate, that educated women ought to
protect them in this crisis.

I'he Darmstadt society is called the “ Heidenreich
Stiftung ” ; the ladies who belong to it are pledged to
visit poor mothers, to lend them linen, procure them
suitable food—“ in short, to help them,” as Princess
Alice summed it up. She personally took a share, incog¬
nita, in the task. Visiting one miserable room, “where

lay the poor woman with her baby, in the room four other
children too young for school, two other beds and a
stove,” the Princess applied the teaching of the Cottage
at Osborne and “cooked something for the woman,”
then arranged her bed. took the baby and bathed its
eyes and “did odds and ends for her.” Ladies in
villages and country neighbourhoods often undertake
much of this work, but in towns more might be done.

Black moire is an excellent choice for a matron’s semi¬
season mantle. The new moires are made soft and supple.
In colours, the same material is being used for evening
gowns. A white moird Princess gown closely fitted
with black mousseline-de-soie tunic, reaching to the
knees and fringed with gold, the tunic not fitted to the
figure at all, only slightly curved in to the waist, is
an elegant model. A lime-green moire, having several
hoops of white lace mounted on gold gauze bands, is
also effective, as also is a moire covered with a
delicate chiffon, gauze, or Ninon. As I have already
mentioned here, such overdraping or veiling is a striking
characteristic of this year’s modes. Not only over
moir£, of course, but over soft satin and printed silks,
transparent fabrics are thrown with remarkably artistic
and uncommon effects. Such veiling is especially em¬
ployed for evening frocks, but is also used for smart
afternoon gowns, which are, perhaps, draped over par¬
tially with transparent fabrics used as tunics, or which
may be decorated on the corsage, or even completely
covered, with a delicate and graceful result.

Many of these transparent veiling materials are shot,
sometimes even with three colourings, and they have a
delightful vapourous look, poetic and elegant at one
time. Again, embroidery is called in to increase the
effect of the transparent fabrics for very smart gowns.
Thus, I have seen a charming gown in periwinkle-blue
satin veiled with black Ninon worked all over in silver
with a design of wreaths. A Paisley - patterned silk
covered with grey and pink shot Ninon was further
adorned by embroideries in blue bugles and floss silks.
Paisley patterns (or, it is more correct to say, Indian
patterns, for the Paisley shawls were but copies of the
old Cashmere designs) are admirable when softened by a
veiling of a very fine, neutral-tinted gauze, such as pale
grey or fawn. Then, again, there are the netwoik tunics,
ending in long bead fringes; sometimes, indeed, the
whole thing is made of jet or coloured beads, and falls
loosely over a closely fitted satin Princess gown. Bands
of antique embroidery are applied, too, sometimes, upon
such net-work tunics of beads or silk. It is perhnps too
much elaboration, but, after all, it is extremely effective.

Quite a novelty, though in the fashion of the hour, is
Macfarlane, Lang, and Co.’s new biscuit, “ Cream Puffs.”
It is an unsweetened biscuit, very light and crisp and
flaky, of the class known as “ crackers.” This excellent
biscuit is ideal to eat with cheese, to break up into
oyster stew or clear soup, or to take for lunch or
supper, lightly buttered. “Cream Puffs” are sold by
all grocers. Filomf.na.

The Goal
Reached at Last

There can be no doubt that this is an age
of rapid progress and marvellous invention.
At no lime has the desire to improve social
conditions and make life more interesting
and valuable been more clearly in evidence.
The introduction of the “ Kastner Autopiano”
in 1904 marked a great step forward in Musical
Culture and Enjoyment. Thousands of British
homes have since resounded with the delights
of beautiful music—music neither mechanical
nor soulless—but overflowing with life, ex-
* pression, and personality.

The enthusiasm and satisfaction invariably shown
by owners of the “Kastner Autopiano” have been most
gratifying, and have spurred still further onwards the in-
ntive genius and wonderful organisation responsible for
ts manufacture to another epoch-making success. The pro¬
duction of the new

established fact. Hitherto only 65 notes of the piano
played pneumatically, but by means of the new Kastner E'ull-
Compass action, the Patent Self-Acting Music Guide and Patent
Combination Tracker Board, every note of the piano is now under per¬
fect control of the Auto-pianist.

The Music rolls are now all absolutely true and complete, arranged as
written by the composer, no re-arrangements, no discords, no leakage, no harshness
of sound, no mechanical accenting devices, no electrical appliances, no heavy
tempo lever or pointer, no flabby stroke—but individual “Soloist” device,
humanlike flexible fingers, Kastner Reliance Motor, metal tubes, &c.

The “Autopiano” can also be played by hand like any ordinary piano,
and represents the most modern and artistic instrument manufactured. No other
instrument approaches it in beauty of tone, artistic perfection or durability. If
you have an instrument which you rarely use, why not exchange it for a “ Kastner
Autopiano,” which costs you little more and yields endless pleasure ? You
are invited to call and hear the “Autopiano” or write for the interesting

PAINTING AND POETRY.

Nineteenth-Century

Painters.

(See Illustrations on “ At the
S V n o/St. Pants" Page.)

M. Leonce B6nedite, whose
“ Great Painters of the Nine¬
teenth Century”

(Pitman) is just
published, lias been
to school among modern canvases under
the happiest circumstances, and has the
advantage over many art critics of having
a great collection continually under his
eye, and at all times accessible to him. He
is the Keeper of the Luxembourg. There¬
fore his assurance in handling his theme,
in some of its aspects, is like that with
which Paderewski handles the key-board ;
the walls of his gallery are spread be¬
fore him, and he can toucli upon a iy
of the thousand details of Styles and
Schools that they contain without a
flicker of hesitation. Nor has M. Benedite
been content with the Luxembourg class¬
rooms: he has roamed to good purpose
in the Tate Gallery and in Bond Street,
and in the Tate Galleries and Bond Streets
of all the European capitals. It is be¬
cause of the book he might have written,
a book full of the flavour of personal
research and praise and blame, that
we are a little rebellious against the
book as we find it. It reads in great
part like the work of the man in the
Art Library instead of the man in the
Art World. We had looked for plums
and M. Benedite ; it takes us a little
time to be content with dates and the
Official Keeper’s form of biographical
dictionary. As a work of reference,
and as a picture - book, it far excels
most of its class. Like Mr. Wedmore,

M. Benedite takes canvases dripping
from the studio, sends them to a block-
maker, and puts them in a book. Lie
seems, however, to have put some sort
of age - qualification upon the present
generation of painters. We find a recent
and charming work by Mr. Lavery in¬
cluded among the illustrations, but there
is no mention of Mr. Orpen or Mr.

Augustus John, and the Americans appear
without Miss Cecilia Beaux, a lady the
group can ill afford to lose. There are
many other omissions ; but, in spite of
them, we marvel at the number of in¬
clusions. In England we know less of
American painting than M BCn^dite, at
least, does in France. From “the great

personalities, half—or perhaps more than half—French,” unknown,
Whistler, La Farge, and Saint-Gaudens (does that mean little that
that M. Benedite claims half, or more than half, of he brings
Whistler?), he passes to Sargent, and thence to the now come

•'EASTERN" LUXURY I A RESTAURANT CAR ON THE NEW G.E.R. CONTINENTAL TRAIN.
The Great Eastern Railway Company has just placed a new train-de-luxe on the route between Liverpool
Street and Harwich, for the Harwich - Antwerp Continental service. The train contains a completely
equipped kitchen and beautifully furnished restaurant cars. With the Brussels Exhibition on one side of
the water, and the Japan-British on this side, the new train has come at an opportune season, and will
doubtless be highly appreciated by great numbers of passengers.

_ n With the sixth volume

English Poetry. „ f hjs va , uab i e .. His .

tory of English Poetry ” (Macmillan) Mr.
W. J. Courthope closes the industrious
labours of many years. The present volume
opens with the abolition of the Holy Roman
Empire in 1806, which gives the author his
cue for the discussion of the state of the
Empire during the eighteenth century and
its reflection on Continental literaiure.
He then sketches the imaginative inter¬
course between England and the Conti¬
nent during the period in question, and
outlines the final effects of the Re¬
naissance on the literatures of different
European countries. After considering
the effects of Continental literature 011
English taste, he deals with the ex¬
haustion of Classical influence. “ De¬
mocracy and Lyric Poetry ” is next con¬
sidered, with reference to the works of
Fergusson, Burns, and Blake, and from
this the historian passes to the influence
of the new Whigs. He discusses the
Edinburgh reviewers, and goes on to
examine the work of Rogers, Campbell,
and Moore, which leads him to the Anti-
Jacobins. The next great section is de¬
voted to the Lake School, and this is
followed by a most interesting chapter
on Romanticism and “ Romantic Self-
Representation,” as exemplified in Byron.
The critique of Byion is refreshing in •
its just appreciation of a poet whom
it is fashionable to belittle, and one
who, for all his faults, will certainly
come to his own again, when English
poetry and criticism are rescued from
the hands of half - educated pretenders
to “ culture.” For Byron, Mr. Courthope
holds no special brief: he is quite well
aware of his defects, but he sees where
his real strength lies, and he sets him
in his rightful place. Under Romanti¬
cism Mr. Courthope also discusses Shelley
as the poet of Revolutionary Idealism,
and Keats as the artist in whom the
Romantic movement culminated. Walter
Scott is the representative of the Ro¬
mance of History. The book closes with
an account of the Waverley Novels, a
rather unusual feature in a history of
Poetry, but not unjustifiable, consider¬
ing the part these works played in the
evolution of Romanticism.

“Just Like Candy ” —children say of

Just as an Orchestra responds to the Conductor, so the ^olian
Orchestrelle—which combines in itself the music of all the Instru=
ments of a Full Instrumental Band—will obey your musical direction.

If you possess an .lEolian Orchestrelle, you at once possess the power of a conductor over a
complete Orchestra or instrumental band.

Take, for instance, some grand overture. Imagine its being played by an orchestra. The
conductor absolutely controls the orchestration of the music; the musicians look to him for
guidance. Here he calls in the flute, there the oboe, or a grand fortissimo is played by all the
instruments, or a beautiful andante is given to the ’cello.

You can do all this, and more, if you have an
/Eolian Orchestrelle in your own drawing-room.

Seating yourself before your ,'Kolian Orchestrelle, you can fill the room with the sonorous strains
of any musical masterpiece you choose, using whatever stops appeal to you; now the mellow
gemshorn, now the heavy deep-toned bourdon, now the soft stringy violina. Or you can
requisition the delicate tremolo of the vox humana, or the pure wood-wind tone of the oboe
and bassoon.

Unlike the conductor of an orchestra, who is bound to the score, you are free to transcribe
the music just as your musical insight suggests. And all music is at your command to
play as often as and just as you please. You need no knowledge of music to play on an
'Eolian Orchestrelle.

yourself ? JXlso write and ask for Qatalogue “ 5," which gives full details.

WHITSUNTIDE RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS.

B Y the Great Western Railway Company’s Whitsun¬
tide programme of excursions, are conjured up
delightful visions of woodland, moor, and sea. Excursions
will be run to Ireland, the Channel Islands, Brest
(Brittany), the Scilly Isles, and the Isle of Man. Facili¬
ties for travelling to the Cornish Riviera, Devon, Dorset,
and Somerset are on the usual generous scale, and the
popular resorts in these beautiful counties will, no doubt,
prove a magnet to large numbers of residents in the
London district. The excursion trains will be greatly
accelerated compared with last year. For instance, the
journey to Newquay will be two hours twenty minutes
quicker ; to Falmouth and Penzance one hour and a half,
to Torquay three quarters of an hour, and to Chester
about an hour quicker; these accelerations will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by passengers. The
G.W.R.’s book, “Holiday Haunts,” with lists of
hotels, boarding-houses, and apartments, is on sale
at the company’s stations and offices at sixpence. A
smaller book, for England and Wales only, can be
obtained at the price of threepence.

In the A.B.C. programme issued by the Great
Central Railway Company there are contained over
three hundred seaside and inland, health resorts in the
Midlands and the North, including Liverpool, the Isle
of Man, Cleethorpes, Scarborough, and others, while the
choice of destination stretches from the Midland Counties
to the far North of Scotland. Nearer home the Vale
of Aylesbury, the Chiltern Hills, and Stratford-on-Avon
should appeal to many. Those wishing to undertake a
walking or cycling tour in Middlesex, Herts, or Bucks
are given a wide range of tours. This programme may
be obtained free at Marylebone Station, any of the
company’s offices, or by post from the Publicity Depart¬
ment, 216, Marylebone Road, N.W.

In the concise little programme issued by the
Brighton Company and sent post free on application
to the Superintendent of the Line, L.B. and S;C.R.,
London Bridge, it will be found that complete train and
ticket arrangements are made to suit all sections of
the public. A convenient cheap ticket covering the
whole of the holiday will be issued to all the seaside
and health resorts on the line. As regards Continental
arrangements, the Newhaven and Dieppe route is be¬
coming more popular every year. For those who in¬
tend to visit Paris and the Continent at Whitsuntide
this year, the Brighton Company are providing a
special fourteen-day excursion from London to Dieppe,
Rouen, and Paris. Tours in Spain are also announced,
and full particulars can be obtained from the Continental
Traffic Manager, Brighton Railway, Victoria Station.

The Great Northern Railway Company’s Whitsuntide
holiday excursion programme covers every description

of holiday resort, from the broad sands and boating
districts of the Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts, and
inland watering-places such as Woodhall Spa or Harro¬
gate, to the beautiful Yorkshire coast, where are situated
Scarborough, the Queen of the North, Whitby, with its
lovely moors, and Bridlington. In close proximity to
the majority of these places there are fine golf links.
Corridor-express excursions for four, eight, and seventeen
days are being run to all parts of Scotland, including
Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen, and to numerous
places in the Midlands, Yorkshiie, Lancashire, and the
Isle of Man. Programmes can be obtained at any of
the company’s offices or stations, or from the Chief
Passenger Agent, King’s Cross Station, London, N.

Cheap tickets to Brussels (for the International
Exhibition) will be issued by the South Eastern and
Chatham Railway each day from May n to 16 inclusive,
via Dover-Calais, Folkestone-Boulogne, and Dover-
Ostend, by express services leaving Charing Cross at
9 a.m., 2.20 p.m., and 9 p.m. Passengers may return
from Brussels on any day within fourteen days, and by
any service according to class. Cheap tickets will
be issued to Paris, and to Amsterdam, the Hague,
Scheveningen, and other Dutch toyns. The company’s
home arrangements include cheap excursions to many
places in Kent and Sussex, both on the coast and inland.
Full particulars of the Continental and home excursions,
alterations to train services, etc., are given in the special
holiday programmes and bills.

For Whitsuntide holidays, the East Coast affords a
choice of nineteen resorts, and many attractive holiday
facilities are offered by the Great Eastern Company.
Programmes, full information, and tickets can be
obtained at any of the company's offices, or from the
Superintendent of the Line, Liverpool Street Station,
London, E.C. The Continental arrangements of the
Great Eastern are equally convenient. These include
return tickets at reduced fares for fourteen days to
Brussels for the International Exhibition, via Harwich
and Antwerp. In connection with the Oberammergau
Passion play, the company will supply inexpensive return
tickets, and register baggage. For visiting Holland and
Germany, special facilities are offered by the British
Royal Mail Harwich-Hook of Holland route. The
Danish Royal Mail steamers of the Forenede Line of
Copenhagen leave Harwich for Esbjerg (on the west coast
of Denmark) on May 13 and 14, returning May 17 and 18.
The General Steam Navigation Company’s steamers
leave Harwich for Hamburg on May 11 and 14, return¬
ing May 18. The Swedish Royal Mail steamers leave
Harwich for Gothenburg on May 14, returning May 21.

It would be difficult to select a more economical trip
than that to St. Malo and back, via Southampton,
announced by the London and South-Western Railway,
at a fare of 24s. 6d., third class by rail and second class

on the steamer. St. Malo is an excellent centre for the
many quiet, pretty watering-places and the quaint inland
villages of Brittany. There will also be similar bookings,
at the same fare, to Havre, from which Etretaf, Trouville,
Honfleur, and other noted resorts in picturesque Nor¬
mandy are easily accessible. Another attractive excur¬
sion is that from Waterloo to Southampton, thence across
the Channel to Havre, and from Havre to Rouen bv
steamer up the Seine. Other favourite objectives at this
time of the year are the well-known holiday-grounds of
Devon and Cornwall, the South Coast, and the Isle of
Wight. Full details are given in the company’s holiday
programme, obtainable at their stations and offices, or
from Mr. Henry Holmes, Superintendent of the Line,
Waterloo Station, S.E.

The Midland Whitsuntide programme, which gives
holiday-seekers a choice of upwards of five hundred places,
may be obtained free on application to the Midland
Railway Company, St. Pancras, or at the City booking-
offices of the company, and of Thomas Cook and Son.
On May 12, 13, and 14 there will be trips to Ireland for
periods varying from two to sixteen days ; on Friday,
May 13, the excursions to Scotland begin, leaving
St. Pancras at 9.30 p.m. for the North of Scotland, and at
10 p.m. for Edinburgh, Glasgow, etc. ; on May 14 there
will be excursions to Douglas(Isle of Man), via Heysham,
and on May 13 and 14, via Liverpool. The excur¬
sions to English provincial towns and villages, the
Midlands, and the North will run on Saturday, May 14,
for varying periods.

It has just been announced that the directors of the
Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company have declared an
interim dividend on the Five per Cent. Preference shares
at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum, on the Eight pei
Cent. Ordinary shares at the rate of 8 per cent, per
annum, and on the Deferred shares at the rate of 6 per
cent, per annum, for the six months ending March 31,
1910. The registers have been closed from the 2nd to
the 16th of May, both days inclusive.

In connection with M. Paulhan’s flight from London
to Manchester, there is an interesting fact which
deserves to be put on record. Next to the pilot him¬
self, possibly the most important factor was the motor-
spirit, for without efficient and reliable propelling power
there could have been no such marvellous flight against
adverse winds and treacherous currents. Paulhan’s
choice fell on “ Shell,” because of his personal knowledge
of its qualities. At the coldest periods of his flight,
he never had the slightest trouble. He used the
ordinary “ Shell,” the same as is supplied to all motorists
in the familiar red can. The crude oil is produced from
one field only in Sumatra. Mr. Grahame-White is also
a strong believer in- “Shell,” which he uses regularly.

when actually driving. Amongst other valuable features
are a list of towns with special speed-limits, detailed
directions as to exits from London, a compendious direc¬
tory and gazetteer, and a list of objects of interest
in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

I note that in some quarters much pains have been
taken to suggest that the Motor Trades Association has
been formed for the purpose of raising prices and making
a corner or a trust in connection with the motor industry.

If this were so, I should, in the best interests of my
readers, condemn such an association in no measured
terms; but as there is absolutely no foundation for such
suspicion, it is best that the objects and aims of the
Association should be as widely known as possible. The

TO ACCOMPANY CAPTAIN SCOTT DURING HIS ATTEMPT TO REACH THE SOUTH POLE. THE MOTOR - SLEIGH
TRACTOR CONSTRUCTED BY THE WOLSELEY TOOL AND MOTOR COMPANY.

Included in the equipment which Captain Scott has devised for his forthcoming journey of 'exploration to the Antarctic regions is this motor'
sleigh tractor, which is fitted with a four-cylinder vertical motor, designed to develop 12 b.h.p. As will be seen, instead of the usual car
wheels on the power-driven rear axle, there are fitted two chain wheels, which drive an endless chain, carrying pattens and spuds, which grip
in the snow and ice, and by the travel of the chain cause a forward movement to be given to the tractor. The chain also has a bearing on a
runner, and passing between this runner and the ground carries the whole tractor, propelling it as the chain-wheels are rotated by the motor.
Underneath the woodwork frame is fitted a large shield, which extends from end to end, and encloses the mechanism, thus presenting a

smooth surface to the snow.

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

T HE authorities of Brooklands •ffered a most inter¬
esting afternoon’s sport to their patrons on
Wednesday last, no fewer than nine events being
coloured upon the card. The handicapping, however,
still leaves much to be desired, though I greatly fear
that the conception of a method of bringing racing-

cars together in events of
the impossible. In the April
of 25-h.p. R.A.C. rating only,
the race was won by fifteen
yards only, but then the third
man was three hundred yards
away. A better finish was
seen in the sprint race, when
Mr. P. D. Stirling’s 596-h.p.
Brasier beat Mr. Eric Loder’s
596-li.p. Itala by ten yards,
Mr. L H. Mander’s 76-h.p.
Mercedes being . only six
yards away. But this, as
stated, was a sprint race.
The April Senior Handicap
was practically won by Mr.
R. W. H. Kane's 27'8-h.p.
Imperia; but on taking the
bend into the curve at the
top of the winning straight,
the car turned right round,
and upon an objection being
lodged, the Imperia was
disqualified, and the race
awarded to the second car.
This may be, undoubtedly is,
in accordance with Brook-
lands rules ; but as the occur¬
rence was accidental, I think it
would have been in bettertaste
to have lodged no objection.

Association seeks only to make assured to the retailer
a certain recognised profit, which the retailer earns and
is entitled to both for his services to the manufacturer
and to the public. Neither the manufacturer nor the
public can do business conveniently without the middle¬
man, and this most particularly applies with regard to
motors and motor accessories. To those who live in
proximity to big price-cutting establishments the objects
of this Association may not appeal so strongly ; but the
large body of motorists scattered all up and down the
country, frequently far re¬
moved from large centres,
realise the value of the local
agent and repairer, and will
sympathise with and support
a movement intended to
keep such agent’s trading #
on a fair living-wage basis.
That is the object of the
Association, and no other.

In the matter of tyre dura¬
bility, it is imperative that
tlie pressure of air within the
tube should be maintained
at the proper figure, and
allowed neither to fall below
nor rise above the pressure
known to be suitable tor
the weight of the car. Now
gauges of various sorts are
supplied for this purpose, the
generality of inflators being
fiited with such instruments.
But gauges attached to pumps
cannot be relied upon to show
the conditions obtaining on
the other side of the valve.
Even when quite correct, they
must indicate the pressure
attained in the pump-barrel,
which is frequently higher
than that in the tube. Con¬
sequently an independent
gauge is necessary, and, re¬
cognising that this is so,
Messrs. Michelin supply a
neat little, handy, and per¬
fectly constructed instrument
which no motorist should
be without. Also 1 have
lately heard of a tyre-tester
which does not concern
itself with the internal pres¬
sure, but only with the length
of the tyre pressed upon the ground when the car
is loaded. This dimension is ascertained first with
a pressure - gauge, and thereafter the tyre is tested
as it is pumped up by what I may term an automatic
tread-measurer.

THE GREAT BELL OF ST. PAULS TOLLING TO ANNOUNCE THE DEATH OF KING EDWARD.

Io informing the Lord Mayor of bis late Majesty’s death, Mr. Winston Churchill, the Home Secretary, wrote: “I have to request your Lordship to give directions for tolling the great
bell of St. Paul's Cathedral." This, of course, was in accordance with precedent. The bell in question is in the Clock Room of St. Paul's Cathedral. It is inscribed “ Richard
Phelps made me. 1716." It is never used, save for the striking of the hours, except for tolling at the deaths and funerals of any of the Royal Family, the Bishops of London, the

THE ILLUSTRATE L ^Nt>ON NEWS, May 14, 1910.-704

THE

T HE birth of King Edward, which occurred at
Buckingham Palace on Nov. q, 1841, was hailed
with peculiar rejoicing by the nation. Not for four¬
score years before had a son been born in England to a
reigning Sovereign. The nation was thankful that the
succession to the throne, which earlier in the century
had been an occasion of anxiety, was now assured.
Born Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay, the royal infant,
when four months old, was created Prince of Wales, a
title which he bore for the next sixty years. He imparted
to that title a lustre such as it had never previously
possessed, and so attached was he to it that not until
our present King had completed his great Empire tour
in the Ophir did his late Majesty bestow the distinction
upon him. The title Prince of Wales was conferred
upon George V. on King Edward’s birthday, 1901.

King Edward was one of a family of nine children,
for he had three brothers and five sisters. They
weie: Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, afterwards Duke of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha; Arthur, Duke of Connaught ; and
Leopold, Duke of Albany; and Victoria, afterwards
German Empress; Alice, Grand Duchess of Hesse;
Helena, Princess Christian of Schleswig - Holstein ;
Louise, afterwards Duchess of Argyll; and Beatrice,
Princess Henry of Battenberg. The home life of the
children was ideally happy, as was to be expected where
the lives of the royal parents were so idyllic.

Private tutors superintended the Prince’s early
education. His first experience of college life was at
Edinburgh University, where he studied applied chem¬
istry under Professor Playfair. He proceeded afterwards
to Oxford, where he spent five terms. The Prince
resided privately at Frewen Hall, but he was a member of
Christ Church, as regards tutorial work and keeping his
Chapels, though he had matriculated from Pembroke.

He was still only nineteen when he first left his
native land as its chosen representative to speak the
goodwill of his august mother to her children over-seas,
j Canada, who had given of her most valiant sons for the
Crimean War, had with affectionate loyalty begged the
Queen herself to visit her. The project was impossible
! to her Majesty; the Prince went in her stead. Though
fifty winters have come and gone since the visit, there
are still Canadians living who remember with what joy
I and pride the handsome young Prince was received, how
his natural charm of manner and unaffected amiability
won all hearts. It was a memorable visit, but its sequel
was still more striking. At the earnest request of Presi¬
dent Buchanan, the Prince crossed the frontier into # the
United States. He was the guest of the President at
the White House, he stood in the hall where the Declar-
atibn of Independence had been written, he planted a
tree at the tomb of Washington. The Republican spirit
of America was forgotten in that hour, and Americans
almost worshipped this gallant young representative of
an ancient line of Kings.

Returning to England, the Prince was entered, at
twenty years of age, as an undergraduate of Trinity
College, Cambridge, varying his studies by a trip, on
military duties, to Ireland. But now the first dark
shadow of his life appeared upon the horizon of the
Prince. His father, Albert the Good, was suddenly
stricken with a fatal malady, and was snatched from life
with terrible swiftness. For a time the Heir Apparent
was overwhelmed with grief, and it was deemed essential

LIFE OF EDWARD

to rouse him from his sorrow by the carrying-out of a
plan for a visit to the Holy Land, which the Prince
Consort had desired him to undertake. Not for the
last time did death thus sadly break in upon royal
plans. King George’s Ophir tour had been arranged
when the death of Queen Victoria occurred, and his
visit to South Africa, projected for the present year, is
rendered impossible by the tragedy which we are all
now mourning. The Palestine tour was made under
the guidance of Dean Stanley.

The Prince had met in the autumn of 1861 the
beautiful Princess who was afterwards his Queen,
Princess Alexandra of Denmark. They met again at
Heidelberg, thanks to the affectionate interest of his
sister, then Crown Princess of Prussia, who had dis¬
covered in which direction his heart inclined. The
young people were formally betrothed in September
1862, and married in March of the following year,
amid rejoicings such as England has seldom witnessed.
In 1862 the Sandringham estate was bought for
^200,000 out of the Prince’s Duchy of Cornwall
revenues. The old house was demolished, and the
present handsome mansion erected.

The next few years of the Prince’s life were unevent¬
ful and happy. His home was gladdened by the birth
of six children during the next eight years. He tra¬
velled frequently on the Continent with the Princess,
and took her with him on a trip to the East. Then
came a period of intense anxiety. The Prince was
laid low with typhoid fever. By his own request he
was carried down to Sandringham, where for six weeks
he lay at death’s door. The skill of his doctors and
the devoted nursing of Queen Alexandra eventually
won him back to life, and Queen Victoria, when she
realised the miracle achieved, sadly remarked—“ Had
my Prince had the same treatment as the Prince of
Wales, he might not have died.” The national re¬
joicings which followed the Prince’s recovery were a
testimony to the boundless affection felt for him.

The next important step in the career of the Heir
Apparent was his visit to India, an epoch-marking
event which has already taken its place in the history
of the Empire. Having thus established a personal link
between the nation’s wide domain in the young and
thriving Western world and the age-old civilisation and
marvels of the great Eastern Dependency, he now settled
down to the ceaseless round of public duties at home.
It was his unswerving devotion to the Queen and to
the nation which made it possible for her Majesty to
bear the onerous burden of the vast and complex duties
devolving upon the head of the greatest Empire in the
world. He paid many visits to the Continent, and met
the leading men of Continental nations and frankly
exchanged views with them upon the problems of the
day. No man better understood the problems of the
poor. He studied them on the spot in many an hour
of incognito rambles under expert guidance; he studied
them, too, as head of a Royal Commission whose fruits
are not yet exhausted. His genuine compassion for the
poor and suffering revealed itself in his untiring work
for the hospitals, a labour which he declined to relinquish
even when he came to the throne.

In 1892 affliction fell upon the Heir Apparent. The
death of his eldest son, the Duke of Clarence, was an
almost insupportable blow. A long period of mourning

VII.

followed, and the Prince and Princess .for a time took
little part in public life. The marriage of his second son
(the present King} again saw’ a renewal of old duties.
He found relief from the incessant round of public en¬
gagements in art, the drama, and sport and the recre¬
ations of a country gentleman. Himself a magnificent
rider as a young man, he was afterwards very successful
as owner of thoroughbreds, and thrice carried off the
Blue Riband of the Turf.

The death of Queen Victoria, on Jan. 22, 1901, after
a reign of unparalleled splendour and beneficence, made
his Majesty’s task, upon acceding to the throne, im¬
mensely difficult. The war still dragged on in South
Africa, to the King’s infinite distress. Thanks to his
Majesty’s tact and solicitude, that unhappy strife was
ended in a peace which has made two nations one har¬
monious whole; and preparations for the Coronation were
thus endued with additional felicity. From all the ends of
the earth the nations sent their envoys to such a gather¬
ing as must have eclipsed all records for magnificence
and impressiveness known to modern history. Two days
before the date fixed—June 24, 1902—the country was
startled to hear that the King was dangerously ill, and
that the Coronation must be postponed. It eventually
took place on Aug. 9.

And then came the nine years of his Majesty's
reign — years that have flown too soon. He found
England isolated: to his supreme tact and genius for
friendship it is due that he leaves her secure in the
goodwill of the nations. The true value of King
Edward’s services to Britain and to the peace of the
world can never be known until the well-guarded archives
of the European Powers yield up their secrets.

Men of all shades of political opinion united to
reverence him as the Peacemaker; he encouraged worth
in all sorts and conditions of men. He honoured men
illustrious in science and art, in commerce, and in the
learned professions, and by so doing gave effect to an
ideal which he once expressed to Gatnbetta, “To take
those who are most distinguished in science, letters,
trade, and make nobles of these men, so that our
nobility remains a real aristocracy.”

Supreme in statecraft, a pioneer in all deserving
works of philanthropy, he was truly, and in the noblest
sense of the term. The First Gentleman in Europe.

{Our Two Supplements.)

B Y the gracious permission of the Royal Family, we
are enabled to give as one of the Supplements to
this Issue a drawing of King Edward as he lay in death
in Buckingham Palace. For this Supplement we are
indebted to details kindly supplied for the purpose by
Mr. Albert Bruce-Joy, the eminent sculptor who was
entrusted with the making of a death-mask of the late
monarch, and whose recent bust of King Edward is
now in the Salon at Paris. This drawing, which
is of the deepest interest, will, we feel sure, be
appreciated by our readers. Our other Supplement
is a portrait of King Edward while he was still living,
and was drawn by that well-known artist, Mr. Frank
Haviland, whose admirable work in portraiture is well
known to readers of The Illustrated London News.

THE LATE KING: AN APPRECIATION.

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

D EATH has struck the ancient English Monarchy
at the very moment when that Monarchy was
about to re-enter history. For the first time, cer¬
tainly for a hundred years — probably for three
hundred — the personality of the King of England
profoundly mattered to English politics; at that
moment the personality has been changed. In our
whole present public crisis the appeal was to the
Monarchy : the Monarchy was actually reviving while
tl»e Monarch was dying. To any patriotic man this
fact must be even more impressive than the dis¬
appearance of a great and popular personality. We
may be of those who, like Lord Rosebery and others,
feel the present crisis quickening towards political
chaos ; who feel the ship of State to be flying faster
and faster down a flood ; and who hear from far in
front the faint but ceaseless thunder of the rapids
of revolution. We may be of that other and much
sadder school (with whose sincerity I, for one, have
sometimes been bitterly haunted) which thinks that
England is drifting, not on to the breakers, but
into a backwater: that we have before us not
seething democracy, but stagnant oligarchy; that
the English ship of State is not heading for the
storms of the French or the Irish Channel, but
only for the dead aquarium and open tanks
of Venice. But, whatever be the order of our
hope or fear, we can all feel that England is
in a crisis, and that England is taking a turn.
We all know that the King mattered mightily
to the turn that it took; and we all know that the
King is dead. These are the things that make
men feel that fierce coincidence which is almost
superstition.

Superstition, indeed, might have much to say
touching this national tragedy, if people took super¬
stition quite seriously. But it is the whole mistake
to suppose that people do take it seriously. Super¬
stitions are a sort of sombre fairy-tales that we tell
to ourselves in order to express, by random and
realistic images, the mystery of the strange laws of
life. We know so little when a man will die that
it may well be sitting thirteenth at a table that
kills him. Superstitions really are what the Mod¬
ernists say that dogmas are: mere symbols of a
much deeper matter, of a fundamental and fantastic
agnosticism about the causes of things. Thus; in
our present public bereavement, anyone seriously
anxious to prove that “ the heavens themselves blaze
forth the deaths of Princes ” could say with unanswer¬
able trutli that we were lit this year by the same
monstrous meteor that is said to have hung over
the fall of Caesar and the last fight of Harold.
Thus, again, those attached to mediaeval popular
fancies may point out that this year Good Friday
fell on Lady Day, as it did when the Black Plague
was eating the nation ; or in that darker war with
Joan of Arc, in which our England was disgraced
both in defeat and victory. But there are very few
of such seriously superstitious persons. Healthy
humanity uses such signs and omens as a decor¬
ation of the tragedy after it has happened. Caesar
was right to disregard Halley’s Comet; it had no
importance until Caesar had been killed. Rational¬
ists, who merely deride such traditions, fail by not
feeling the full mass of inarticulate human emotion
behind them. On the very night that King Edward
died, it happened that the present writer experi¬
enced some of those trivialities that can bring about
one’s head all the terrors of the universe. The
shocking news was just loose in London, but it
had not touched the country where I was, when a
London editor attempted to tell me the truth by
telephone. But all the telephones in England were
throbbing and thundering with the news; it was
impossible to clear the line; and it was impossible
to bear the message. Again and again I heard
Ftifled accents saying something momentous and

unintelligible; it might have been the landing of
the Germans or the end of the world. With the
snatches of this strangled voice in my ears I went
into the garden, and found, by another such mysti¬
cal coincidence, that it was a night of startling and
blazing stars — stars so fierce and close that they
seemed crowding round the roof and tree - tops.
White-hot and speechless, they seemed striving to
speak, like that voice that had been drowned amid
the drumming wires. I know not if any reader has
ever had a vigil with the same unreasoning sense
of a frustrated apocalypse. But if he has, he will
know one of the immortal moods out of which
legends rise, and he will not wonder that men
have joined the notion of a comet with the death
of a King.

But besides this historic stroke, this fall of a
national monument, there is also the loss of a per¬
sonality. Over and above this dark and half-super¬
stitious suggestion that the fate of our country has
turned a corner and entered a new epoch, there is
the pathetic value of the human epoch that has just
closed. The starting-point for all study of King
Edward is the fact of his unquestionable and 'positive
popularity. I say positive, because most modern
popularity is negative ; it is no more than toleration.
Many an English landlord is described as popular
among his tenants, when the phrase only means
that no tenant hates him quite enough to be hanged
for putting a bullet in him. Or, again, in milder
cases, a man will be called a popular administrator
because his rule, being substantially successful, is
substantially undisturbed; some system works fairly
well and the head of the system is not hated, for he
is hardly felt. Quite different was the practical
popularity of Edward VII. It was a strictly personal
image and enthusiasm. The French, with their
talent for picking the right word, put it best when
they described King Edward as a kind of universal
uncle. His popularity in poor families was so frank
as to be undignified; he was really spoken of by
tinkers and tailors as if he were some gay and
prosperous member of their own family. There was
a picture of him upon the popular retina infinitely
brighter and brisker than there is either of Mr.
Asquith or Mr. Balfour. There was something in
him that appealed to those strange and silent crowds
that are invisible because they are enormous. In
connection with him the few voices that really
sound popular sound also singularly loyal. Since
his death was declared there have already been
many written and spoken eulogies ; one that
sounded indubitably sincere was that uttered by
Mr. Will Crooks.

If you dig deep enough into any ancient cere¬
mony, you will find the traces of that noble truism
called democracy, which is not the latest but the
earliest of human ideas. Just as in the very oldest
part of an English church you will unearth the level
bricks of the Romans, so in the very oldest part of
every royal or feudal form you will unearth the
level laws of the Republic. In that complex and
loaded rite of Coronation which King Edward under¬
went, and his successor must soon undergo, there is
a distinct trace of the ancient idea of a King being
elected like a President. The Archbishop shows the
King to the assembled people, and asks if he is
accepted or refused. Edward VII., like other modern
Kings, went through a ritual election by an unreal
mob. But if it had been a real election by a
real mob—he would still have been elected. That is
the really important point for democrats.

The largeness of the praise of King Edward in
the popular legend was fundamentally due to this,
that he was a leader in whom other men could see
themselves. The Tory squires that follow Mr. Balfour

are not at all like Mr. Balfour; the Radicals
who shout behind Mr. Asquith are not at all like
Mr. Asquith. It is in their pleasures, peihaps, more
than anything else, that such men are divided.
Squires as a class do not care about metaphysics,
which is Mr. Balfour’s hobby. Genuine Radicals as
a class do not care about legality, which is Mr.
Asquith’s hobby. But the King’s interest in sport,
good living, and Continental travel was exactly of the
kind that every clerk or commercial traveller could
feel in himself on a smaller scale and in a more
thwarted manner. Now', it emphatically will not do
to dismiss this popular sympathy in pleasure as
the mere servile or vulgar adoration of a race or
snobs. To begin with, mere worldly rank could
not and did not achieve such popularity for Ernest
Duke of Cumberland or Alfred Duke of Edinburgh
or even for the Prince Consort; and to go on
with mere angry words like snobbishness is an
evasion of the democratic test. I fancy the key
of the question is this: that, in an age of prigs
and dehumanised humanitarians, King Edward
stood to the whole people as the emblem of
this ultimate idea — that however extraordinary a
man may be by office, influence, or talent, we have
a light to ask that the extraordinary man should
be also an ordinary man. He was more repre¬
sentative than representative government: he was
the whole theme of Walt Whitman — the average
man enthroned.

His reputation for a humane normality had one
aspect in which he was a model to philanthropists.
Innumerable tales were told of his kindness or
courtesy, ranging from the endowment of a children’s
hospital to the offer of a cigar, from the fact that
he pensioned a match-seller to the mere fact that
he took off his hat. But all these tales took the
popular fancy all the more because he himself was
the kind of man to share the pleasures he dis¬
tributed. His offer of a cigar was the more appreci¬
ated because he offered himself a cigar as well.
His taking off his hat was the more valued because
he himself was by no means indifferent to decent
salutations or discourteous slights. Philanthropists too
frequently forget that pity is quite a different thing
from sympathy ; for sympathy means suffering with
others, and not merely being sorry that they suffer.
If the strong brotherhood of men is to abide, if they
are not to break up into groups alarmingly like
different species, we must keep this community of
tastes in giver and receiver. We must not only
share our bread, but share our hunger.

King Edward w'as a man of the woild and a
diplomatist; but there was nothing of the aristocrat
about him. He had a just sense of the dignity
of his position ; but it was very much such a sense
as a middle-class elective magistrate might have
had, a Lord Mayor or the President of a Republic.
It was even in a sense formal, and the essence of
aristocracy is informality. It is no violation of the
political impartiality of the Crown to say that he
was, in training and tone of mind, liberal. The
one or two points on which he permitted him¬
self a partisan attitude were things that he re¬
garded as commonsense emancipations from mere
custom, such as the Deceased Wife’s Sister Bill.
Both in strength and weakness he was inter¬
national; and it is undoubtedly largely due to him
that we have generally dropped the fashion of sys¬
tematically and doggedly misunderstanding the great
civilisation of France. But the first and last thought
is the same : that there are millions in England
who have haidly heard of the Prime Minister, and
never heard of Lord Lansdowne, to whom King
Edward was a pictuie of paternal patriotism; and
in the dark days that lie before us it is, perhaps,
just those millions who may begin to move.

HIS FIRST SALUTE AS MONARCH: KING GEORGE LEAVING THE PALACE.

DRAWN BY OUR SPECIAL ARTIST, CECIL KING.

THE FIRST INDICATION OF THE DEATH OF KING EDWARD VII.: THE NEW KING AND QUEEN LEAVING BUCKINGHAM PALACE

AFTER THE PASSING AWAY OF HIS LATE MAJESTY.

Our Artist makes the following notes about his drawing: “The people outside the Palace waited all Friday evening for news of the King. A rain-storm came on at about 10. and at 10 30
it was announced, out of consideration for the crowd, that no more bulletins would be issued that night. Some left. A considerable number' remained on. however, walking up and down the
pavement, and were added to from time to time by people from the theatres and restaurants. A little after twelve a rush was made towards the gate, out of which came the Prince of Wales's
carriage with the Prince and Princess inside. The crowd respectfully saluted. This was really the first indication of the King's death. After this several carriages le.'t, followed by reporters and
others on foot. The latter were surrounded and questioned, and gradually the news spread abroad. Man/ waited for a long time for some official announcement, which had not b;?n made
when I left at 12-30. and the handful of police and public who saw the notice at the Mansion House knew the facts long before those outside the Palace- In fact I was told on my r^:urn
to the Palace fram the Mansion House about 1 15 that the crowd was still waiting for definite news when the newspaper boys arrived there.**

BIRMINGHAM’S MUNICIPAL FLAG FLOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME

ON THE DEATH OF A SOVEREIGN.

ON THE COUNCIL HOUSE.

Birmingham flew the flag bearing her coat of arms for the first time on the death of a Sovereign last week, hoisting it on the Council House under the half-masted Union Jack. This
flag was specially made for Sir' George Kenrick—a great benefactor of education at Birmingham and a relative by marriage of Mr. Chamberlain—when King Edward visited Birmingham last
year. It was then flown on Sir George's house, and was afterwards given to the municipal authorities. It had not previously been flown by them.

GREAT RUSH FOR MOURNING AFTER THE DEATH OF KING

EAGER TO EXPRESS THEIR SORROW: BUYING THEIR MOURNING.

No sooner had the news of King Edward's death spread abroad in the Metropolis than people began to take steps to express their sorrow by the customary outward symbols of mourning. Naturally
also the effect of the dire tidings made itself immediately felt in the shops catering for both men and women. All the great retail establishments in the capital, as well as the wholesale houses,
were at once thrown into a state of the utmost activity. Such great firms as. for instance. Peter Robinson's. Jay’s. John Ba.-ker's. Ernest’s, Nicoll and Co.’s, Fisher’s, Harroi’s. and Debcnham

and wished the band to play at four o'clock in the afternoon. The corps marched down to the Palace with draped “colours" and after "Major" Barrett had offered up a prayer the band
flayed “Abide with me," “The Church's one foundation." and “Nearer, my God. to Thee." The last is stated to have been the late King's favourite hymn. At the conclusion <?f the

How air germs develop in two days.
How dust germs develop In two days.

How Formamint prevents any
development of air and
dust germs.

More Scientific Proof.

Sore Throat Epidemies :

Their Cause and Prevention

Remarkable Experiments by a Leading Scientist

No one need have sore throat in future, for
this painful malady can now be prevented, as
well as cured, and in the most easy and pleasant
manner. Such is the practical significance of
the above diagrams, which depict a very in¬
teresting experiment of Dr. Piorkowski, the
famous Berlin scientist.

To understand these diagrams we must bear
in mind that sore throat is caused by germs'
which float unseen in the air and are very
abundant where there is dust and dirt. We
inhale them into the mouth and throat where
the conditions are very favourable for their
growth. They multiply rapidly and not only cause
sore throat, tonsillitis, mouth troubles, &c., but
also such dread infectious diseases as diphtheria,
consumption, scarlet fever, measles, etc.

Dr. Piorkowski coated three glass plates with
a substance on which germs thrive. One
(Fig. C) he treated in addition with some saliva
in which Formamint had been dissolved. He
then exposed all three plates to the air and dust,
and afterwards kept them for two days at the
temperature of the h iman body. Plates A and
B not having been treated with Formamint,
were covered with germ growths, but plate C,
treated with Formamint, is absolutely free from
them, proving that Formamint killed all germs
which settled there

Dr. CONRAD KlIHN, Physician to the court of H.I.M.
the Emperor of Austria, and the Private Physician to the
Heir Presumptive, writes:

“I have prescribed your excellent Fotmamint tablets to
many patients, and always with the very best and promptest
results. They have proved themselves surprisingly efficacious
in cases of Tonsillitis and Bad Breath, as well as a reliable
preventive, especially in connection with Tonsillitis.”

Mr. justin McCarthy, the well-known writer and

ex-M.P., says:

”67 Cheriton Road, Folkestone.

” Wulfing’s Formamint Tablets, which were recommended
to me by my physician -in Folkestone, have quite cured the
throat trouble from which I suffered at one time.”

fat*

A PHYSICIAN writes in "The General Practitioner,”
July ‘31,* ’09:

" I commend this line of treatment (Formamint) with the
utmost confidence as being painless and pleasant, non-toxic,
provedly bactericidal, and easily carried out at any time, by
any person, and under any circumstances."

The Hon. Mrs. ALFRED LYTTELTON writes:

" 16 Great College Street, Westminster.

" 1 always keep a bottle of Formamint tablets in the
house, as I find them quite excellent for sore throat.”

tceJeT

What happened on plate C, is exactly what
happens in the mouth and throat of a person
who takes Formamint, namely, the germs
which cause sore throat and other infectious
diseases are all destroyed.

The active principle of Formamint is a
powerful, germ-destroying gas, in chemical com¬
bination with milk sugar, forming a harmless
and pleasant-tasting tablet which is sucked in
the mouth. This germicide, being released in
its nascent potency, removes all bacteria front,
the mouth and throat, and thus prevents the
diseases which they cause.

Formamint may also be relied upon to cure ,
with the greatest rapidity, such minor germ-
ailments as sore throat, tonsillitis and mouth
troubles. In this connection it may be pointed out
that sore throat is frequently the first symptom of
some grave infectious disease, such as diphtheria.
By taking Formamint promptly you not only
cure sore throat, but also guard yourself against
the risk of its developing into something worse.

F’or this reason, Formamint should always be
kept in the house, ready for instant use in case
of epidemics which come upon us suddenly and
bring so much suffering and anxiety in their train.

LADIES’ PAGE.

O VER the present season, at its outset, has fallen
the shadow of a nation’s grief, and the mourn¬
ing for King Edward will be far more than ceremo¬
nial ; it will be the sincere expression of the sympathy
and sorrow of the whole people. The
sad event will, of course, disorganise

are quite numerous in Paris, and are to be seen here at
the best milliners’; but so far they look odd in contrast
to the extremely wide and flatly trimmed hats of the
mode now passing on to its climax and its inevitable
after-decline. A quaint specimen of the new tall but
narrow toques was in pink straw, turned up deeply across

growing on one side of the head and pushing" through
the hat; behind the turn-up front thus adorned is a
tall and narrow crown, completely smothered under a
forest of wild black plumage. This hat cost only eight
guineas ! One gets used to anything, and everything above
a pretty face looks charming; so the inevitable new
shapes in hats may be not only small and
tall, but eccentric, and we shall presently

all plans that had been made for
future festivities, and mourning material
will take the place of gay summer
fashions in the great shops. The Royal
Academy has no picture more lovely
than the embroideries in many colours
and in gold, silver and jewels, and
the exquisitely tinted shot diaphanous
fabrics that the dressmakers had to
show; and though some frocks and
some headgear might be otitrf and
inartistic, tlie majority were as harmoni¬
ous in their varied colouring and as
graceful in their line as Nature herself,
from which high source the best design¬
ers of dress fabrics and styles do not
fail to draw frequent inspiration. In
many of the shot fabrics and the com¬
binations of the cunning artist in dress,
the application this year of Nature’s
daring example was admirably artistic
and successful. A finely illustrated Sum¬
mer Fashions number (May 7 ) of the
Lady's Pictorial had been prepared for
the benefit of people in the country
who could not come to town to see
the modes for themselves. Colouring
was to have been a great feature this
year: now all is turned to sombre black.

Big bats have had their meed of
ridicule, and will soon pay the penalty
of over - popularity, though at present
there is no sign of their going out of
fashion in England. But in Paris a well-
known lady has been involved in a dis¬
turbance caused by the sneering remarks
of some strange men on her remarkably
small hat, which remarks were resented
by her escort. The new hat, probably,
was one of those very high - crowned
helmet - like shapes that seem built to

be satisfied. Meantime, the smartest hats
are still huge—and costly! A few years
ago three or four guineas was considered
quite a large price for a hat; now, eight or
ten is asked for a really stylish confection
with fine ostrich-plumes upon it. But, of
course, this is for headgear of state.

It is by no means an uncommon event
for a servant to leave her place without
warning, with the intent of inflicting as
much annoyance as she can upon her em¬
ployers. But, fortunately, it is rare for
three women to be guilty of so gioss a
dereliction of duty as were the cook, house¬
maid, and nurse of Mrs. Hcarne, who all
went off as soon as their mistress had gone
out to dinner, the nurse, Kate Bell, leaving
behind entirely unprotected the three little
children under five—one a baby of a year
old—whom she was employed to take care
of, and whom she basely deserted, with
gas-jets, candles, and fires all alight in
the house. A servant who leaves her
place without due notice (of course, if she
has no legal reason for doing so) is by law
liable to pay her master the amount of the
month’s wages in lieu of notice, and as a
good many girls nowadays, emboldened by
the scarcity of their class and the conse¬
quent ease with which they get new places
on indifferent references, make a practice
of doing this, it is rather a pity that so few
employers take the trouble to check the
practice by hunting up and sueing a domes¬
tic who makes this sudden breach of her
contract. But the case of Kate Bell, the
nurse who left the three babies all alone,
was brought before the magistrate under
another law-—the new " Children’s Act,”
by which she might have been sent to pii-

MIRACLE-WORKING RECIPE.

Already Mr. Edwards has received hundreds upon hundreds of
letters from ladies and gentlemen who have found in “ Harlene
Hair Drill ” the long-sought-for remedy for their hair-troubles, and
one of these may be quoted as an example.

“ For some time,” wrote one lady, “ I had been tempted to try
‘ Harlene Hair Drill,’ and I can only say I am glad of the day
when your two-minute-a-day treatment was first tried by me. My
hair was not only poor in quality and falling out in large quantities,
but, to my horror, I also perceived that it was beginning to be
sprinkled with grey (though I am only twenty-eight . To-day,
however, it is plentiful and glossy and well-coloured, while, instead
of killing out, it grows stronger and longer every day. I hope
every woman who has any hair troubles will try the * Drill.’ In
my case it has wrought miracles.”

Remember, then, as already stated at the outset of this
announcement, that your hair, if it be weak, diseased or
falling out, will never cure itself, but requires daily “ Mar¬
lene Hair Drill” to make it grow lusty, strong and vigorous.
It is, perhaps, the most sensitive to treatment of any part
of the human structure, and if negiected it quickly succumbs
to its many enemies, fades in colour, becomes scurfy, thin
and brittle, gives up the struggle and dies. All you have
to do is to fill in the accompanying coupon, and send it,
with three penny stamps, to Messrs. The Edwards’ Harlene
Co., 95 96, High Ilolb »rn, London, W.C., and the package
will lie posted to you absolutely free. Should further supplies

PIANOLA PIANO

(Steinway, Weber, or SteeH tPiano)

The Pianola Piano is the most useful and economical of all forms of
musical instruments. The most useful because everyone can play it;
the musician can play by hand in the usual way, and everyone can play
every kind of music on it by means of music rolls. The most economical
because, besides an upright piano of the very highest grade, it includes
the Fianola, the most comprehensive of all means of producing music,
and because it is easy to pay for and costs less than a piano and
Pianola separately.

^1 It also contains the Metrostyle, which is the only means whereby anyone
can interpret unfamiliar compositions correctly and in accordance with
the interpretations of great artistes. There is also the Themodist, the
equivalent to the musician’s touch. It gives a variable accent to the
melody notes and subdues the accompaniment. No other piano contains
these unique devices. As an instrument for home use the Pianola Piano
forms the best investment in music that anyone can make.

The Pianola Piano can be bought for cash or on the one, two, or three
years’ system, and ordinary pianos will be taken in exchange.

which makes up in enthusiasm for what it lacks in
sequence and, to be perfectly frank, in style. If “The
Spirit of the Downs” left an impression of mere book¬
making, there would be nothing in the WTiting
to atone for the fault, but Mr. Beckett is
clearly devoted to the country he writes
about, and most readers will agree that
his faults may be forgiven quia multum

has failed to express all he feels, but leaves
us without any doubt about the depth of his
feeling or the sincerity of his aim. Among
the chapters of greater interest “A South
Down Saturnalia ” (dealing with the Guy
Fawkes celebrations in the old Sussex town
of Lewes) takes a prominent place, and the
chapter on the wheatear (“The Bird of
Downland”) will appeal to naturalists. Mr.
Stanley Inchbold's illustrations are as effec¬

LITERATURE.

The Passing of Tl,c stor 5 ’ of Morocco in the Inst
few years is one of extraordinary
Morocco. interest, and there are two ver¬

sions of it—the one that passes current in the Press,
and the one that is
known only to Euro¬
pean Governments and
a few close observers
who have given the
country’s problems and
prospects years of con¬
sideration. i bis latter
version is, of course,
the more dramatic
one, and concerns this
country nearly, for
until the time when
Great Britain deliber¬
ately sacrificed Mo¬
rocco for the sake of
a free hand in Egypt
and the Anglo-French
Entente, the British
Fleet remained the
invisible guardian of
Moorish independence.

It may be that in
years to come Lord
Cromer will write his
memoirs, and then,
should the Foreign
Office permit, much
that is hidden will be
revealed. As long as
diplomacy in Downing
Street and the Quai
d'Orsay strove for
mastery in the Slie-
reefian Empire, the
progress of events was
veiled; but since the
Franco - British Con¬
vention was signed by
Lord Lansdowne and
M. Paul Cam bon in
1904, and the Act of
Algeciras was sign'd
by the plenipotentiaries
assembled opposite
Gibraltar under the
presidency' of the late
Duke of Almadovar del
Rio, Moorish history
lias been seen in the
making. Few people
have seen it more closely or more intelligently than
Mr. E. Ashmead Bartlett, whose record of recent events,
entitled “The Passing of the Shereefian Empire,” has

been published by Blackwood. The author witnessed
the campaign carried on from the ruins of Casablanca
by General Drude and General d’Amade, and he sets
down the truth about it in a fashion that is worthy of
all praise. When Abdel Aziz had lost his kingdom,
and his half-brother Moulai el Hafid reigned in his

stead, Mr. Ashmead Bartlett went to Fez and negotiated
with the new Sultan for mining rights that would have
been worth untold millions had he been able to secure

them. Last year, soon after the attempt of some Spanish
concessionaires and highly placed i;onipany-p r °moters to
enforce mining rights they had received fi'Oin a dis¬
credited Pretender, the notoiious Bu Hamara, had brought
about the campaign in the Riff country', the author
went to Melilla to join the Spanish force as Reuter’s
Special Correspondent.
Ho saw the campaign
to its comparatively
futile end, followed
it with the trained
eye of one who has
watched Russian, Jap¬
anese, and French
soldiers in the field;
and sums up his
opinion of the Spanish
army, which conducted
the campaign with
courage and humanity,
.by declaring that for
purposes of a European
war it is a negligible
quantity'. No book
written about Morocco
in recent years has
shown a better grasp
of facts or a sounder
judgment of the forces
at work in what was
down to a few years
ago Africa’s last great
independent Empire.

“ Roodscreens and
Roodlofts.”

Seven years seem but a
brief time, even doubled
by the contemporaneous
woik of two experts,
for the preparation of
such a monumental
work as “ Rood-screens
and Roodlolts” (Sir
Isaac Pitman). Mr.
Frederick Bligh Bond,
F.R.I.B.A., answers
for the historical essay
on screen work, which
composes the first vol¬
ume. He deals with
the evolutionary history
of this important and
symbolical branch o
ecclesiastical and litur¬
gical architecture, and
it is on the point of
Its origin that he confesses an opinion different, in a
few particulars, from that of his colleague, Dorn Bede
Camm, of the Order of St. Benedict. Mr. Bond is

OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF THE DEATH OF KING EDWARD POSTED OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE»

READING THE FINAL BULLETIN EARLY ON SATURDAY MORNING LAST.

Although King Edward died at a quarter to twelve on Friday night of last week, it was some time before the final bulletin announcing the death was
posted outside Buckingham Palace. When It was set up, indeed, it was generally known in London that bis Majesty had passed away. The actual bulletin,
which was signed by Sir Francis Laking, Sir James Reid, Sir Douglas Powell, and Dr. Bertrand DaWson, read i “Buckingham Palace, May 6, 1910. 11.50 p.in.
His Majesty the King breathed his last at 11.45 to-night in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princess Royal

All civilised nations have been profoundly moved by
the news of King Edward’s death, and have expressed
their sorrow in a spontaneous outburst of sympathy.
From all parts of the world have come messages of
condolence and of eulogy. The feelingoFFrance, of oilier
countries the one which had most reason to hold King
Edward dear, is voiced in the remark of a Parisian
concierge: “La France a perdu un grand ami.”
In Germany, where King Edward won all hearts during
his visit to Berlin early last year, the tidings were
received with widespread regret, and the Kaiser has
issued special orders to the German Navy to honour his
uncle's memory with due signs of mourning. All the
other nations of Europe have followed suit, the youngest
in point of political history no less than those of ancient
renown. The Turkish Parliament (latest offspring of
the “ Mother of Parliaments ”) sent a message of regret
at the death of him who was the greatest of consti¬
tutional monarchs. From all parts of the Empire and
from the United States, heartfelt messages of grief have
come. It is hardly too much to say that in King Edward
the whole world has lost a friend.

ART NO TES.

A little - noticed reform, but one that will spell
great changes at Burlington House if it prevails
there, is the grouping together of the pictures from
one brush. The scheme lias been timorously inaugu¬
rated : in Gallery XII. two canvases by Mr. George
Henry have been hung side by side ; and, in this
case, there is small sense in the
conjunction, save that the tones of
one work by Mr. Henry do not leap
murderously at the tones of another
work by the same artist. The
pretty person who listens at the
window in "The Nightingale ”
gazes high above the frame of
‘‘Captain Villiers Stuart"; but
that is one of the unavoidable in¬
conveniences of the jumble, from a
social point of view, on the Academy’s
walls. Very happy is the placing,
in Gallery I., of Mr. Clausen's
" Wood-Nymph ’’ beside the same
painter’s ‘‘ From a London Back-
Window in Winter." The nytnph —
born, as we judge her, in the woods
of Barbizon, and reared among
Botticelli’s olive-groves—is inno¬
cent of any knowledge of chimneys
and back-gardens, but the picture
of her consorts well with the picture
of the tumbled scene hidden some¬
where behind a St. John’s Wood
frontage.

It had been very much better if
the same system of hanging had
been accorded the two lovely land¬
scapes of Mr. Adrian Stokes, the
new Associate. Mr. Stokes, as
many think, has waited over-long
for his honours ; perhaps the higher
Academical rank will follow with
compensating speed, or the election
of his brother, Mr. Leonard Stokes,
the architect of the Central Tele¬
phone Exchange in Gerard Street,
may serve instead. The cheqtier-
board system of decoration still ob¬
tains for the main part. The most beautiful and aston¬
ishing of Mr. Sargent’s four landscapes is hung between
two portraits, the one bv Mr. Ouless of Mr. Edward
Ln ’eing, the other by Sir Luke Fildes of Mr. George Alex¬
ander. Both are speaking likenesses ; but so is Mr. Sar¬
gent’s picture of rushing water and scattered rocks, and
the conversation of the three together is disconcerting.

In many ways the picture of the year is the late
Mr. Swan’s •• The Cold North." Polar bears and
floating ice are commonly associated in our minds
with the "Zoo" or the triumphs of the stage-carpenter
at Drury Lane. Peary’s lantern-slides have helped our
conception of the real thing, but Mr. Swan did not
need them. Working well within, reach of both Drury
Lane and the " Zoo," he has produced a picture that

the beauty of last summer’s " Mrs. Moss 1

A BEAUTY SPOT ON THE PARIS-ORLEANS RAILWAY t A LOVELY VILLAGE OF AUVERGNE, NEAR CONDAT.
As is evident from our photograph, the Paris-Orleans line passes through some delightful scenery. Many holiday-makers will
doubtless feel moved to seek out the pretty village of St. Amandin, which is accessible from Condat Station, on the line
between Bort and Neussargues. The railway reaches the plateaus of Cantal, and the wo:ded valleys of the Rhue, the
Allanche, and the Sumine.

carries us away from anything that the homely eye
could have imagined. But Mr. Swan had imagination,
and he forces us to share it. We are glad to think that
this picture is probably destined for a public gallery.

The portrait of the year, also a posthumous work, is
Orchardson’s " Lord Blyth of Blythswood." It has not

__ Cockle.” The

white furs and emerald of that canvas are replaced oy
a glass paper-weight and strewn letters, ana although
these are no less charming than the feminine acces¬
sories, the face in Lord Blyih's picture is not so
sensitively rendered.

Less interesting is the same painter’s portrait of
Mr. Abbey. It is neither true Orchardson nor true
Abbey. But both sitter and painter
are admirably represented in Mr.
Maurice Greiffenhagen’s "Maurice
Hewlett, Esq." Shouldered into a
corner of Gallery IL, it is never¬
theless conspicuous for restrained
strength of colour and technique.
The colour, it may be thought,
is even too carefully kept in
hand, as if Mr. Greiffenhagen
while he Set his palette were
thinking of his past triumphs
as an illustrator in black-and-
white. Still more mournful in
tone is Sir W. B.J Richmond’s
decoratively conceived composition
of " Eve." Here again is a
canvas placed as if the Hanging
Committee had decided to punish
dark pictures by putting them
into the corner. in vain we
search Sir William’s canvas for a
signature. Prominent in a recent
fracas of attribution, he should
know better than to run the risk
of confusing posterity with a pic¬
ture that, after a little knocking
about, will bear as much semblance
of the seventeenth as of the
twentieth century. Mr. Wether-
bee must again be mentioned as
a contributor of works of rare
beauty.

At the Carfax Gallery Mr.
Neville Lytton has been exhibit¬
ing his portraits of Miss Angela
Mackail and Lady Ottoline Mor¬
rell, and of Miss Nellie Hozier,
somewhat fiercely turbaned. Never¬
theless, she shows in a case in the same gallery
a charmingly delicate example of Western writing.
Other good manuscripts are shown, and Mrs. Sydney
Cockerell exhibits examples of such illumination as
she alone can conceive and execute. Mrs. Neville
Lytton’s statuettes of Blenheim spaniels and Arab

"A MESSAGE FROM THE KING, SIR. SIGNED BY HIS OWN HAND”: THE^ PRIME MINISTER AT THE BAR OF THE

HOUSE OF COMMONS, WITH THE MESSAGE FROM KING GEORGE.

At 9.90 cn the afternoon of Thursday of last week (May 12), Mr. Asquith rose f.-om his place on the Treasury Bench, advanced to the Bar of the House, and stood facing the Chair.

Called upon by name by the Deputy-Speaker, he announced that he had "a message from the King, signed by his own hand.” Then, walking to the table, he handed the manuscript to

the Clerk at the table, who passed it to the occupant of the Chair. The Deputy - Speaker then read the royal message, which was as follows: “The King knows that the House of
Commons shares in the profound and sudden sorrow which has fallen upon his Majesty by the Nath of his Majesty s father, the late King, and that the House entertains a keen sense of
the loss which his Majesty and the nation have sustained in this mournful event. K-ng Edward's care for the welfare of his people, his skilled and prudent guidance of affairs, his unwearying
devotion to public duties during his illustrious rsign, his simple courage in pain and danger, will long be held in honour by his subjects at home and beyond the seas.”

THE LAST TOKEN,

BY C. E. BYLES,

(See Supplement.}

She came, a flower of alien sunshine born.

To bloom in English fields, and well she knows

Our England holds her, since her marriage morn,
An English rose.

A budding rose of queenhood, queenly fair,

Blown by love's breath across the northern tide,

To her new home she came, of England’s heir
The chosen bride.

Still growing dearer with the years, she grew

All we could dream of perfect womanhood :

And on her brow serene dwelt all we knew
Of pure and good.

Still at his side, whom England mourns to-day—
England, and all the world—her steps have been :

Throned in the nation’s heart, and his, held sway
Ilis wife and Queen.

Not in high-sounding phrase and formal ode.

’Twere meet to sing the praise of him we mourn.

Who, yet most kingly, took the common road

To the common bourne.

He moved among his people like a king,

Nor held himself aloof in lofty pride :

And she, whose finger bore his token ring,
Moved at his side.

The time of prophecy, “when wars shall cease,”
Sooner shall be for men since Edward’s reign :

Now he is gather'd to the kings of peace :

Hers is the pain.

We, too, his people, have deep cause to grieve :
But deeper far her springs of sorrow start:

Wc lose a King : she in his grave must leave
Her very heart.

A thousand wreaths upon that grave are laid,
The willing tribute of a world in tears:

They wither: but one blossom shall not fade
Thro’ all the years.

She set it in his hand, bending above

The bed of death, in grief that no man knows :

The sad, last token of undying love—

An English rose.

THE LYING IN STATE IN WESTMINSTER H AH.

{Our Supplement.)

W E feel sure that our readers will be glad to possess
the remarkably fine drawing of the ceremony in
Westminster Hall on Tuesday, by that well - known
artist Mr. A. Forestier, which we give as one of our
Special Supplements with lhis issue. On the arrival of
the coffin containing the body of King Edward at
Westminster Hall, it was arranged that a service
should be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
standing at the foot of the coffin, with tlie Lord Great
Chamberlain and the Earl Marshal, while King George
and the other royal mourners took their stand at its head.
No more solemn or impressive scene could be imagined.
The body of the best-beloved of English Kings—perhaps
of all the Kings in history—had been brought to lie in
state within those venerable walls, in that ancient build¬
ing which has witnessed countless historic scenes in the
eight centuries of its existence.

“ KING EDWARD VII. ON HIS DEATH - BED.”

W ITH regard to the beautiful Supplement of “ King
Edward VII. on His Death-Bed,” published in
our issue of last week by gracious permission of Queen
Alexandra, we have received a communication from
Mr. Albert Bruce-Joy to the effect that, while (although
he was unable to show us his death-mask) he was
delighted to assist us in every way, and to supply us
with details for the drawing by our artist, Mr. Eorestier
(who was specially commissioned by his late Majesty
to paint a picture of the lying-in-state of Queen Victoria
at Osborne), he did not wish us to mention his name in
connection with our drawing. The Editor much regrets
that Mr. Bruce-Joy’s wishes were not fully understood in
this matter; and that, as a consequence, his name
appeared in the note which referred to the drawing.

THE WORKMAN IN POSSESSION-

AN IMPRESSION BY JOSEPH PENNELL.

PREPARING WESTMINSTER HALL FOR THE LYING - IN - STATE OF HIS LATE MAJESTY KING EDWARD VII.

OF BLESSED MEMORY.

Westminster Hall, where the remains of King Edward lay in state from Tuesday until Thursday, that the people might have a last opportunity of showing their respect, was
a hive of industry from the moment the lying-in-state was decided upon until the time came for the transference of the body from Buckingham Palace. The Hall was built
by William Rufus. There were those who said that it was too large, to receive the answer: ** It is not big enough by the one half, and is but a bedchamber in comparison
to what I mean to make.'* It has seen the making of much history, including the trials of Sir Thomas More, Anne Boleyn, Strafford. Charles I.. and Warren Hastings.

THE ILLUSTRATE^, X.ONDON NEWS, May 21, MO.—762

T HE calamity of the King's removal was unofficially
acknowledged almost before it was officially
acknowledged. The people were prompter in mourning
than the officers of State in bidding them mourn ; and
even one who doubted whether the King deserved his
populaiity would be forced to admit that he had it.
The national mourning—taken as a whole, of course—
is all the more universal for being irregular, all the
more unanimous for being scrappy or even intermittent.
Armies of retainers clad in complete black, endless
processions of solemn robes and sable plumes, could
not be a quarter so impressive as the cheap black
band of a man in corduroys, or the cheap black hat
of a girl in pink and magenta. The part is greater than
the whole. Nevertheless, the formal side of funeral
customs, as is right and natural, is already engaging
attention. Sir William Richmond, always prominent in
any question of the relation of art to public life, has
already sketched out a scheme of mortuary decoration
so conceived as to avoid the in¬
human monotony black. He
would have a sombre, but still
rich, scheme of colour, of Tyrian
purple, dim bronze and gold. Both
artistic illy and symbolically, there
is much that is sound in the con-
ception. Mere black might seem
a more fitting dress for devils than
for Christian mourners, except that
the mourning dress of devils would
(I suppose) be blue. There is
something almost atheistic about
such starless and hueless grief; it
seems not akin to distress, but
to despair. Indeed, Sir William
Richmond, consciously or uncon¬
sciously, is in this matter following
an ecclesiastical tradition. The
world mourns in black, but the
Church mourns in violet—one of
the many instances of the fact
that the Church is a much more
cheerful thing than the world.

Nor is the difference an idle ac¬
cident : it really corresponds to
chasms of spiritual separation.

Black is dark with absence of
colour; violet is dark with density
and combination of colour: it is
at once as blue as midnight and
as crimson as blood. And there
is a similar distinction between the
two views of death, between the
two types of tragedy. There is
the tragedy that is founded on the
worthlessness of life; and there is
the deeper tragedy that is founded
on the worth of it. The one sort
of sadness says that life is
so short that it can hardly matter; the other that
life is so short that it will matter for ever.

But though in this, as in many other matters, it
is religion alone that retains any tradition of a freer
and more humane popular taste, it may well be
doubted whether in the present instance the existing
popular taste should not be substantially gratified, or,
at least, undisturbed. King Edward was not the kind
of man in whose honour we should do even beautiful
things that are in any sense eccentric. His sym¬
pathies in all such matters were very general sym¬
pathies: he stood to millions of people as the very
incarnation of common - sense, social adaptability,
tact, and a rational conventionality. His people de¬
lighted in the million snapshots of him in shooting-
dress at a shooting - box, or in racing - clothes at a
race-meeting, in morning-dress in the morning or in
evening-dress in the evening, because all these were sym¬
bols of a certain sensible sociability and readiness for
everything with which they loved to credit him. For it
must always be remembered in this connection that
masculine costume is different at root from feminine
costume—different in its whole essence and aim. It is
not merely a question of the man dressing in dull
colours or the woman in bright : it is a question of the

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

object. A Life Guardsman has very splendid clothes;
an artistic lady in Bedford Park may have very dingy
clothes. But the point is that the Life Guard only puts
on his bright clothes so as to be like other Life Guards.
But the Bedford Park lady always seeks to have some
special, delicate, and exquisite shade of dinginess
different from the dinginess of other Bedford Park
ladies. Though gleaming with scarlet and steel, the
Life Guard is really invisible. Though physically, no
doubt, of terrific courage, he is morally cowardly, like
nearly all males. Like the insects that are as green
as the leaves or the jackals that are as red as the
desert, a man generally seeks to be unseen by taking
the colour of his surroundings, even if it be a brilliant
colour. A female dress is a dress ; a male dress is a
uniform. Men dress smartly so as not to be noticed;
but all women dress to be noticed—gross and vulgar
women to be grossly and vulgarly noticed, wise and
modest women to be wisely and modestly noticed.

Now, of this soul in masculine “good form,” this
slight but genuine element of a manly modesty in
conventions, the public made King Edward a typical
and appropriate representative. They liked to think
of him appearing as a soldier among soldiers, a
sailor among sailors, a Freemason at his Lodge, or a
Peer among his Peers. For this reason they even
tolerated the comic idea of his being a Prussian
Colonel when he was in Prussia; and they took a
positive pleasure in the idea of his being a Parisian
boulevardier when he was in Paris. Since he was
thus a public symbol of the more generous and
fraternal uses of conventionality, we may be well con¬
tent with a conventional scheme of mourning; espe¬
cially when in this case, as in not a few other cases,
the conventional merely means the democratic. King
Edward's popularity was such a very popular kind of
popularity that it would be rather more appropriate to
make his funeral vulgar than to make it aesthetic. It
is true that legend connects his name with two or
three attempts to modify the ungainliness and gloom
of our modern male costume; but he hardly insisted
on any of them, and none of them was of a kind
specially to satisfy Sir William Richmond. The
aesthetes might perhaps smile on the notion of knee-
breeches ; but I fear that brass buttons on evening

coats would seem to them an aggravation of their
wrong. Even where King Edward was an innovator,
he was an innovator along popular and well-recognised
lines; a man who would have liked a funeral to be
funereal, as he would have liked a ball to be gay.
We need not, therefore, feel it so very inappropriate
even if in the last resort the celebrations are in
the most humdrum or even jog-trot style, if they
satisfy the heart of the public, though not the
eye of the artist.

And yet again, in connection with those aspects of
the late King which may be and are approved on more
serious and statesmanlike grounds (as, for instance,
his international attitude towards peace), this value of
a working convention can still be found. It is easy
to say airily, in an ethical text-book or a debating-
club resolution, that Spaniards should love Chinamen,
or that Highlanders should suddenly embrace Hindus.

But, as men are in daily life, such
brotherhood is corrupted and con¬
fused, though never actually con¬
tradicted. It is the fundamental
fact that we are all men ; but
there are circumstances that per¬
mit us to feel it keenly, and other
circumstances that almost prevent
us from feeling it at all. It is
here that convention (which only
means a coming together) makes
smooth the path of primal sym¬
pathy; and by getting people, if
only for an hour, to act alike,
begins to make them feel alike. I
have said much against aris¬
tocracy in this column, and shall
continue to do so till I am sacked;
but I will never deny that aris¬
tocracy has certain queer advan¬
tages, not very often mentioned.
One of them is that which affects
European diplomacy: that a gen¬
tleman is the same all over Europe,
while a peasant, or even a mer¬
chant, may be very different. A
Dutch gentleman and an Irish
gentleman stand on a special and
level platform ; a Dutch peasant
and an Irish peasant are divided
by all dynastic and divine wars.
Of course, this means that a
peasant is superior to a gentle¬
man—more genuine, more historic,
more national : but that, surely is
obvious. Nevertheless, for cosmo¬
politan purposes, such as diplo¬
macy, a gentleman may be u-ed —
with caution. And the reason that
has made aristocrats effective as
diplomatists is the same that made King Edward
effective : the existence of a convention or convenient
form that is understood everywhere and makes action
and utterance easy for everyone. Language itself is
only an enormous ceremony. King Edward completely
understood that nameless Volapuk or Esperanto on
which modern Europe practically reposes. He never
put himself in a position that Europe could possibly
misunderstand, as the Kaiser did by his theocratic
outbursts, even if they were logical ; or the Tsar by
his sweeping repressions, even if they were provoked.
Partly a German, by blood, partly a Frenchman, by
preference, intermarried with all the thrones of Europe
and quite conscious of their very various perplexities,
he had the right to be called a great citizen of
Europe. There are only two things that can bind men
together; a convention and a creed. King Edward
was the last, the most popular, and probably the mosf
triumphant example of Europe combining with success
upon a large and genial convention. Tact and habit
and humanity had in him their final exponent in all
the Courts, reviews, racecourses, and hotels of Christen¬
dom. If these are not enough, if it is not found
sufficient for Europe to have a healthy convention,
then Europe must once more have a creed. The
coming of the creed will be a terrible business.

THE HEARSE OF EDWARD THE PEACEMAKER - A GUN-CARRIAGE THAT HAS NEVER
BEEN USED IN TIME OF WAR.

The gun-carriage on which it was arranged that King Edward should be borne to his last resting-place is the same as that
used for Ihe funeral of Queen Victoria. Since that time it had been kept in Scotland, and was brought to London after the
death of King Edward. It Is exactly like any that might be used for the humblest of the King's soldiers. This particular
gun-carriage, which is numbered 11,385, has never been used in war. On Friday of last week it was taken from Woolwich
Arsenal to Chelsea, that it might be prepared for the funeral.

IN THE PARIS SALON.

The melancholy news of the death of King Edward VII. came to Paris-and to the whole of France-as news of a personal loss. His late Majesty was most popular across the Channel, not only
as a great King, but as a great man. Nor is it forgotten that he was largely instrumental in bringing about the Entente Cordiale. His conquest of the people of Paris was complete. He
destroyed the prejudice against England that seemed indestructible, and when he left France after the memorable visit that began on May Day of seven years a,o, it was not merely as an honoured
guest, but as a friend. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Parisians have been eager to show their sympathy with England in her sorrow. They have made their grief manifest in various
ways, but in no manner mere striking, perhaps, than by their draping with crape Mr. Albert Bruce-Joya magnificent bust of the late King in the Paris Salon, and by their respectful homage to it

ihe deceased monarch. The entire German nation feels true and heartful sympathy for the mourners . . . Grief lieth heavy on the kindred English people, whose mourning for the sudden
decease of the King is deep and universal. We associate ourselves with the sympathy of the entire world at the heavy loss which the British Nation, with its royal family, has suffered.
As a sign of your sympathy you have risen from your seats, and thus shown that you approve of my words."

REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GREAT ENGLISH-SPEAKING REPUBLIC,

AND A MOURNER OF KING EDWARD.

TO RIDE IN THE FUNERAL PROCESSION OF KING EDWARD AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF AMERICA : MR. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

EX-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Mr. Roosevelt, no less than the British nation, will deplore the fact that'his long - planned visit to this country has been turned into one of mourning and condolence. His reception on his
arrival last Monday was doubtless more subdued than it would have been but for the shadow of grief which ia overhanging all social occasions. His welcome, however, is none the less sincere
and hearty. Little did he think when he arranged his engagements in Great Britain that his first sad duty would be to'act as special representative of the United States at the funeral of the
King who was to have been his host in the course of his sojourn here. The ex-President has. of course, cancelled various projected Court visits, but he still has an extensive programme of
lectures and other functions, including his reception by the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London at the Guildhall.— [From thb Painting by Philip Laszlo.]

ON HIS ARRIVAL AT VICTORIA STATION.

The Duke of Connaught, with the Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia, reached Victoria Station on Friday of last week. King George was there to meet him. The Duke made a
genuflection to the new Sovereign and kissed his hand ; then embraced him and kissed him «n the cheek. It will be recalled that the Duke first heard of the death of his late Majesty
on reaching Port Said- It may be noted, perhaps, that both men and women meeting their Sovereign for the first time immediately after the Accession kneel, and kiss hands.

Princess Mary is the only daughter of King George and Queen Mary, and was horn on April 25, 1897. Of her five brothers two are older than herself—namely, the Duke of Cornwall, who
was born in 1694, and Prince Albert, who was born in the following year. The Princess has been brought up on those principles of domestic simplicity which, both in this and previous
generations, have made our royal household the type and model of an ideal English home. Among other good habits she has been taught those of thrift and economy, and has often
been seen in the post-office opposite Marlborough House depositing her savings in her own account. When in the fullness of time she cook# tp takg fbt le«d in philanthropic work, such

experience will doubtless be of the utmost value to her.—{P hotograph by Alice hughes.]

and arms reversed- Also present were a sergeant and an officer. At first the watch were on duty for an hour at a time, standing still as statues. So much did the immobility try the men
that King George suggested more frequent reliefs: and, as a result, it was decided to change the guard every half-hour.

While the Proclamation of King George wad being read, both in London and provincial towna, the flags on the public buildings were temporarily raised to the top of the masts, and subsequently
lowered to half-mast again when the ceremony was at an end. This is one of the many picturesque and symbolic details in connection with Proclamation ceremonies. It symbolises, of course,
the idea that while the death of a King is an occasion for grief and lor the signs of grief, the accession of a new King is, in itself, a matter for rejoicing, but that such rejoicing must necessarily
be tempered by thoughts of mourning, and its outward signs are therefore brief and temporary.

THE SCENE OF THE GREAT MINE DISASTER AT WHITEHAVEN: WELLINGTON PIT. WHICH EXTENDS FIVE MILES

UNDER THE IRISH SEA.

The Wellington Colliery at Whitehaven - the scene of the terrible disaster which took place last week—has a striking situation on the Cumberland coast. L.ke a grim fortress, its buildings
stand on the cliffs above the Irish Sea. overlooking Whitehaven Harbour. The pit was sunk a little more than fifty years ago. and its workings, which are at a depth of 600 feet, extend no
fewer than five miles beneath the sea. The cause of the catastrophe was. it is believed, an explosion some three miles from the shaft. Out of 142 men at work in the mine at the time, onl*
s.x escaped. Rescue parties toiled heroically for twenty-eight hours, but it was impossible to penetrate the smoke and fire, and the heat was unendurable. Eventually the entrance to the
burning part of the pit was bricked up, by order of his Majesty’s Inspector of Mines, Mr. J. B. Atkinson, »ith the sanction of the Chief Inspector of Mines at the Home Office
Mr. Rcdmayne and the Home Secretary. The step was taken only when all possibility of rescue was past, and continued attempts would have led to further loss of life. King George was
one of the first to express sympathy, and commanded that information should be ser.c to him from time to time.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, May 21, DIO.- 797

THE COUNTRY HOUSE OF TO-DAY.

r J''HE alteration, enlargement, or decoration of a country house demands
experience, practical facilities of skilled labour and machinery, and
sympathy. Whether an architect be employed or not, the craftsmen must be
men of taste and discernment, or the result will be a woeful jumble of
incongruous factors. Many a fine old place has been spoilt through being
“ modernised” in an unsympathetic spirit. Yet modernisation is a necessity.
Modern sanitation is essential, electric-light installations are at least desirable,
heating and ventilating science has to be pressed into service to correct the
blunders of pre-scientific builders ; and this has to be done without impairing
the note of antiquity, without destroying the period character of the house.
The skilful transformer is he who, when putting the new wine into old
bottles, is able to give to the former the quality and flavour of a rare old vintage.

The contractor for such work should have a specialised knowledge of, and
unrivalled resources for, every branch of building, sanitation, heating, lighting,
and decorating. Such a firm is that of Waring and Gillow, whose unrivalled
experience in the erection, decoration and equipment of palaces and mansions
gives them the premier position for taking in hand an old country house
and giving it every modern comfort and convenience without sacrificing one
iota of its interest and historic charm.

Waring and Gillow have behind them two centuries of the highest
artistic traditions. The house of Gillow was eminent for fine furniture
and decorative arts two centuries ago. The same principles of period
correctitude, sound craftsmanship, and conscientious thoroughness animate
their successors to-day.

For the moment let us focus attention on this inherited capacity for doing
fine work in a fine spirit. Behind every workman, be he bricklayer, house-
painter, or paper-hanger, there is the silent dominating force of educated
taste. No old country house can be invested with twentieth century civilisation
without this educated taste. Any attempt to do without it would end in
a garisli mixture of styles, and a disconcerting exhibit of anachronisms.
An old country house brought up to date by Waring and Gillow retains
its “atmosphere.” The electric lights are designed so as not to interfere
with the tradition of the family ghost. The transformed hall and the
new wing, or the added colonnade, are contrived so as to fall harmoniously
into the Jacobean or Georgian scheme of the original building. The taste
in decorative art which has gained Grands Prix and Gold Medals at nearly
fifty international and other public exhibitions is at the disposal of every
gentleman who wants to make his home as worthy of the present generation
as it was of those that are past.

Design is the key-note of all new decorative arrangements, but design
has to be accompanied by execution. Waring and Gillow are supreme in
both. One of the most notable facts about their great enterprise is the extent,
variety, and quality of their output. We hear of their exploits in all parts of
the world ; of their decorating great ocean liners with the luxury of floating
palaces, and yachts for Kings, Emperors, Princes and Maharajahs; of their
achievements in places so remote as Cairo and Buenos Ayres, Sydney and
Zurich, Berlin and Cape Town, Indore and Athens, Smyrna and St.
Petersburgh. But we seldom pause to think of the machinery behind all
this—the great factories throbbing with activity, the thousands of workmen
plodding quietly on, week in, week out, the wonderful organisation that
keeps the machine oiled and overhauled and in the highest state of efficiency.

Waring and Gillow’s factories give form and substance to the ideas born
in Waring and Gillow’s studios. Here the exquisite modelled plasterwork
is made, the beautiful draperies are arranged, the panelling is manu¬
factured, the glorious wood - carving is executed by craftsmen worthy
to have been Grinling Gibbons’ disciples. The house of Waring and
Gillow, is as wide in the scope of its operations as it is illimitable in its
area. It has departments for everything that can possibly be required in the
home. And whether it be in structural alterations, or decoration, or
furnishing, the Waring battle - cry is “ Expedition.” Their wonderful
resources enable them to do everything for the country house, not only
well, but promptly. The customer is not wearied by vexatious delays,
nor is he driven to his wits’ end by the workmen of four or five
different firms waiting about for each other and squabbling amongst
themselves. Waring’s work to time, and time, in these days, is money.
They have been schooled to this as a habit by the force of many urgent
contracts. To the traditional artistry of the more leisurely eighteenth
century days when Gillow’s were making their great name are now united
the energy and foresight which make up the quality of expedition.

in this play, the dotard’s infatuation for the young

the comic intervention of the Colonel, and the

form a hotch-potch of drama in different styles
which is bewildering and full of discords. The
players add to the impression of inharmoniousness
by each, as it were, interpreting his or her character
on independent lines, without any regard to en¬

aims at realism, and produces successfully, up to a

THE PLAYHOUSES.

“ PARASITES/’ AT THE GLOBE.

T HERE have been too many hands concerned
with the piece which provides Mr. Arthur
Bourchier with his newest part for the result to be
a play that is composite and harmonious. Adapted
and readapted from a story of Balzac’s, it is the
oddest amalgam of comedy and tragedy, of farce
and melodrama, and in the process of modification
has lost any claim to be a study of provincial man¬
ners in early nineteenth - century France, and does
not carry conviction even as a story written round
the “ Aventuri£re ” motif. It lacks style, it lacks
atmosphere, it lacks distinction of dialogue, its
arrangement of plot and its characterisation are
alike crude; what is to be found in the production
given at the Globe is a certain- breezy, boisterous,
swaggering humour lent by Mr. Bourchier himself
to a figure that might be a burlesque of Don
Annibal. There is a constant clash between the

Why Odol especially supersedes

all other preparations for cleansing the mouth and teeth
is because of its remarkable power of suffusing the entire
oral cavity with a microscopically ihin but thoroughly
effective antiseptic coating which maintains its protective
influence for hours after the mouth has been rinsed with
it. While all other preparations for cleansing the mouth
and teeth act only during the few moments of application,
Odol continues to exert its antiseptic and refreshing
powers gently but persistently long after use.

It is this lasting effect that gives to daily users of Odol
the absolute assurance that their mouths are permanently
protected against the processes of fermentation and
decomposition which, if not guarded against, inevitably
destroy the teeth. ^

No other dentifrice or mouthwash possesses this
precious and transcendent quality, not even approximately.

Bridau seems too genial a grotesque to act
as deus ex tnachma in a story of sordid
passions. Perhaps, if the farcical side of the
play were elaborated, it might stand a better
chance than it seems at present to have of
popularity with Londoners.

“THE DAWN OF A TO-MORROW,"

AT THE GARRICK.

Mrs. Hodgson Burnett is known to play¬
goers as author of “ Little Lord Fauntleroy ”
and “A Lady of Quality.” The one was a
success on the stage, and has a plot too well
known to need recalling; the other was a
romance of a sort of justifiable homicide
which failed to recommend its motif. Both
relied on unabashed sentiment ; and this
woman novelist’s new play, “ The Dawn of a
To-Morrow,” which comes to us with the im¬
primatur of American approval, is a sentimental
melodrama of slum life, extravagant in its
incidents, and partly redeemed by its study
of a street waif, who has the charm of
unconquerable cheerfulness. In the story
on which the play is based, “Glad”—for
that is the girl’s name—is supposed to melt

a would - be suicide — a
nerves, who is preparing to
do away with himself, but
is given a new zest in life
by association with the slum
child and by the infection of
her spirit of optimism and
the need of assistance which
her helpless associates seem
to him to demand. For stage
purposes Mrs. Burnett exalts
tier would-be suicide to the
rank of a baronet and million¬
aire, raises the girl’s age to
about eighteen, and gives
her as lover a criminal of the
thief type who is in danger of
“ swinging” ; and she writes
round these characters a
sensational drama of crime,
in which the millionaire acts
as deus ex mac/iina, his
nephew plays villain and
attempted seducer, and the
heroine runs risks by visit¬
ing the nephew’s rooms in
the small hours to save her
lover. It is all very lurid
and crude drama, and it is
difficult for the actress. Miss
Gertrude Elliott, who assumes
the rdle of Glad, to keep the
girl natural and convincing
in her odd surroundings.

man of broken

Still, she succeeds fairly well, especially in a
scene which opens with a realistic picture of
a London fog, and shows her gay and bright
and helpful under depressing slum conditions.
Her catchword, “ I’m alive, I ’m alive,” is
delivered by the actress with great gusto, and
Miss Ellliott gets the accent and light-hearted¬
ness of the type very happily; while Mr. Ainley
as the explosive criminal who is Glad’s lover,
and Mr. Herbert Waring as the wealthy man
who seems to himself to have received sentence
of death, both provide capital support.

KING GEORGE PROCLAIMED AT EASTBOURNE. THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE
READING THE PROCLAMATION.

At Eastbourne the task of reading the Proclamation of George V. appropriately fell to the
Duke of Devonshire, whose uncle, the late Duke, did so much for the prosperity of that
popular searide resort, and who is himself equally interested in its welfare. He was
elected Mayor of Eastbourne last year.

PROCLAIMING KING GEORGE IN THE CAPITAL OF SHAKESPEARE'S COUNTY. THE PROCLAMATION READ AT WARWICK.
The Proclamation of King George V. at Warwick would have delighted the heart of Shakespeare, with his love of locality and l is eye for
historic ceremonies. Many a lime must be have passed through the old streets of his county town, which is only eight miles distant
from his home at Stratford-on-Avon.

“ CANADIAN BORN."

EH1ND the charming heroine of “Canadian
Born” (Smith, Elder) a perspicuous eye
can see Mrs. Humphry Ward on her “happy
journey” through Canada, alert, observant,
and properly enthusiastic, being shown the
right thing by the right persons at the right
time. It takes some mental effort on the part
of the reader, indeed, to subjugate this vision
to the interest of the story, seeing that the
author has somehow failed to do it for him.
However, once accomplished, the rest is plain
sailing, for “ Canadian Born”
is a neatly constructed novel,
which, without approaching
to the excellence of Mrs.
Ward’s earlier work, moves
in persuasive order to the pre¬
ordained conclusion. George
Anderson, the Canadian born,
is a vigorous figure, full of
the potentialities of his rising
nation. Elizabeth Merton is
English to her finger-tips—
the cultured English of long
descent, be it understood.
Their creator contrives to
persuade us that the union
between them, which seems,
as she describes it, to par¬
take of the loftiness of some
high political alliance, will
never be regretted by the
woman who forsakes I he old
country, the old - established
order, for the raw. pulsing life
of a new comment. She states
her case with her cultivated
eloquence and with enthusi¬
asm ; but it does nol do to
forget it is a special case.
The description of the jour¬
ney on the Canadian Pacific
is written with much fine and
artistic feeling.

The best modern music is written for the Orchestra;
on an £olian Orchestrelle you can play this music
for yourself as often as you choose.

Take, for instance, such music as “The Dream of Gerontius.” No single - toned instrument, however perfect,
could do full justice to this now famous masterpiece, because it was composed not for the pianoforte but for

orchestral performances. Consequently, your enjoyment of this music is
limited by the fact that you can only listen to its wonderful strains when it
figures in the programme of' some high-class concert.

If you have an /Eolian Orchestrelle you can yourself
play this music as often as you choose and as accu¬

The /Eolian Orchestrelle is the true “ Drawing-room Orchestra.’’ It combines
in one single instrument all the instruments of a complete orchestra. You need
no technical knowledge, only musical taste, to play on an /Eolian Orchestrelle
The notes are sounded by delicate mechanism in the Pianola way, while YOU
control the time, expression, and orchestration by means of stops, which you

THE ILLUSTRATED LomdoN NEWS, May 21, lm-80Z

LADIES" PAGE.

T O Queen Alexandra the heart of the nation has
gone out at this time of her trial, and her Majesty,
with that tender affection for the people which has
always distinguished her, has in memorable and touching
words shown her appreciation of public sympathy. The
Queen-Mother has now to make new precedents, for,
curiously enough, there has been no Queen-Dowager in
these realms for over two centuries—with the exception,
indeed, of Queen Adelaide, widow of William IV., who
had, however, been so short a time married to an
English Prince that her position was absolutely unlike
that of the lady who has led our society, and won so
much love and admiration, during forty-seven years of
married life in our land. The last preceding widowed
Queen was the wife of Charles II. William III. and
all the four Georges died widowers ; so that there has
been no Queen-Dowager (to use the historic term) since
Catherine of Braganza, the widowed Queen of Charles II.,
died in 1705 (except for the brief time of Queen Adelaide).

In the picture-gallery of my memories, how many of
the most charming sketches have Queen Alexandra as
their central figure ! I see her descending the stair¬
case at Lord Leighton’s house with her left hand held up
over her shoulder to take the hand of another Princess,
the action defining a most graceful figure to perfection.
I see her lovely, flower-like face bending over a large, flat
basket filled with a profusion of < hoice blossoms, while
she selects rapidly but with unerring taste breast-knots to
suit the gowns of her daughters and all the other ladies
near by. I see her with her hands clasped in genuine
anxiety as a trooper is being extricated from under his
horse at the Military Tournament. I see her giving
away the prizes at a great girls’ school, smiling so en¬
couragingly on each youthful winner, and trying on her
own finger the gold thimble that formed the needlework
prize before fitting it on its proud owner’s hand. I
see her moving pityingly, yet cheerily, round a hospital
ward; and I see her, in sweeping, shimmering robes,
crowned with a tiara and glittering with jewels, at
many functions of state. With tender interest I watch
her coming down the Abbey nave on the great Jubilee
day, holding so closely, so comfortingly and sympathetic¬
ally, the hand of her sister-in-law, the Crown Princess of
Germany, who, shaken by her knowledge of her hus¬
band's dangerous illness and moved deeply by love for
her illustrious mother, had broken down in a close
embrace after doing homage to that mother seated in
her Coronation chair. Many and many another picture
risas up. each and all of a lovely, lovable, and gracious
personality. May we not lose that presence for long!

Queen Mary also brings precious and noble attributes
to her new sphere. She gives the impression of great
intellectuality and of firmness of character. It may be
that these are more valuable in and more conducive to
the happiness of a Queen regnant than of a Consort. It
is historic fact that if a King does well and succeeds,

and embroidered chemisette and belt.

his Queen receives little credit, but if a reign be unfor¬
tunate, the influence of the Queen is at once called in
to explain all calamities. Eveiy superficial student of
history is convinced that the Empress Eugenie made the
Franco-German War (which Bismarck arranged deliber¬
ately), that Marie Antoinette was by her extravagance
and light-hearted conduct the main cause of the French
Revolution (that was wholly the work of previous
inonarchs and the conditions they had produced), and
that Henrietta Maria was the chief element in Charles
the First’s misfortunes (which Strafford and Laud
brought about). On the other hand, 1 have just read
in one of the most important of London daily papers
that “the wives of the Georges were even ostentatiously
kept apart from public affairs,” whereas the fact is that
George I. and George IV. lived apart from their re¬
spective wives, but that Caroline, the Queen of George II.,
was the leading influence in the successful politics of
her time. Lord Hervey, the most intimate friend of that
roval couple, says that “her will was the sole spring on
which every movement of the Court turned; her power was
unrivalled and unbounded ; she governed this country.”
But, as Queen Caroline’s action was beneficial, her
services to the nation are forgotten. In some respects
Queen Alexandra and the present Queen resemble
each other—in charity and kindness and devotion to
strict duty above everything.

Black has been almost universally donned by all
ranks, and the way in which the sudden demand has
been supplied by the dressmakers and milliners is mar¬
vellous. It reflects great credit on the enterprise and
energy of a business largely conducted by women. The
simple, graceful fashion of making now prevailing lends
itself well to the building of thin summer focks in black
voile, crepon. fine cashmere, ciepe - de - Chine, and
foulard. A Princess gown in one of these materials,
trimmed with bands of black silk embroidery, and
having a chemisette of black net or Ninon, can have
the black yoke replaced by white on June 17 , that being
the date fixed by the King for changing the national
mourning to half-mourning. Heliotrope and grey, and
white, with a touch of black, are also correct then.

For the hot weather particularly, there is no beverage
so refreshing as the good old English drink, cyder. It
is so slightly alcoholic that it cannot be objected to on
the score of “ lieadiness,” and pure cyder is found to be
a healthful drink in conditions in which all wines are
forbidden. Whiteway’s Devonshire Cyder stands at the
head of the apple county’s “wine.” It is the product
of Whiteway’s own orchards at Whimple, specially suit¬
able apples being there grown ; while the skill and care
of the manufacture, and the honest, unadulterated, and
pure quality of the product make it a delicious and
refreshing table beverage, and far more wholesome than
any foreign wine, while it is far less expensive. This
pure apple-juice is recommended as a cure for gout and
rheumatism. Everybody interested should send for a
price-list to Messrs. Whiteway, Whimple, Devon, or

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

N the lamented demise of his late Majesty King
Edward VII., of blessed memory, every phase of
motoring—the industry, the sport, and the pastime—
has lost a true friend and a strong supporter. When
public opposition was at its height, when the out¬
look was dark indeed for the industry, when rumours
and signs portended repressive legislation, his Majesty's
acceptance of the patronage of the then Automobile
Club of Great Britain and Ireland—by which it became
the Royal Automobile Club—came in the very nick of
time, and showed the estimate held by our lamented

owner of the car of the occurrence, departed for another
clime, an evening paper describes the act as the
height of “automobile” impudence. One is left to
marvel why the noun is used as an adjective in this
way. Presuming the accideht had concerned a horse-
drawn vehicle and its driver, or a wheelbarrow and its
wheeler, or a perambulator and its propelling nurse,
would our contemporary have qualified the noun “ impu¬
dence ’’with the words horse-and-cart, wheelbarrow, or
perambulator as adjectives ? If not, why not ? Surely
it would be just as sensible as to talk about auto¬
mobile impudence! The reporting of motor incidents

The probability of a live axle of usual construction sooner

TYRE

DURABILITY.

Extract “Motor News," April 23, 1910.

“ Another case of remarkable tyre durability has
come under my notice. Mr. Hampton Shaw, of
Dublin, drives an old Woiseley car, weighing
30 cwts., which has 120 mm. tyres fitted to the
driving wheels. These tyres have been in use
3| years, have run 20,000 miles, and have
never been punctured.

This result is due to a combination of circum¬
stances—good tyres, and good luck, slow pace up=
hill, careful driving, and the use of detachable
leather treads. Several of these have been worn
out, but they have answered the purpose. The old
CONTINENTALS, though weak and worn, are kept
up to their work by the protecting and encircling
leather. it takes the road wear, and helps to
support the bursting strain. Many Irish motorists
who find their tyre bill alarming might follow Mr.
Hampton Shaw’s example with advantage.”

AT THE SIGN OF ST. PAULS.

BY ANDREW LANG.

T HERE is a mysterious anecdote in
the “ Reminiscences of Charlotte
Lady Wake,” who was born in 1800
and died in 1888. The earlier part of
the book, about ancient manners and
customs in Scotland, is especially
curious and interesting. Lady Wake
wrote her Reminiscences after 1864,
and perhaps, like us all, hep early
memories were vitiated by information
acquired later, and transferred into
the past.

Like Sir Walter Scott, whom she
knew, she was present at ihe Coron¬
ation of George IV. (July 1821). She
describes how Dymoke, the Champion,
attended by the Duke of Wellington
and the Marquess of Anglesey, all
mounted, threw down the glove. The
Duke was not a man to stand non¬
sense ! “ When the glove was thrown

a little bustle took place from our side
(which was not explained till after¬
wards). This was, that from a group
in the background a man had advanced
to take up the glove. It was he who
claimed to be the actual representative
of the line of Stuart.” A note says,

“Father of the so-called Duke of
Albany, who died at Biarritz in 1881.”

Now Scott, in a long letter to an
Edinburgh newspaper, described the
Coronation, and tells how the Cham¬
pion, “a fine-looking youth, but bearing,
perhaps, a little too much the appear¬
ance of a maiden-knight to be the
challenger of the wot Id in a King’s
behalf,” threw down the gauntlet with
becoming manhood. But Scott says
nothing of the attempt to pick up the
gauntlet — a point which would have
interested him intensely. There was
some talk of a woman lifting the glove
at the Coronation of George III.,
where Prince Charles is said to have
been present.

Had Lady Wake’s incident oc¬
curred, Scott must have heard of it.

Clearly, he never did, nor, I think,
in 1821, was anyone pretending to be
a legitimate descendant of Prince
Charles. The two gentlemen call¬
ing themselves his grandsons were
known to Scott about 1824, as making
pretensions to represent the Hays of Errol. Scott says
that he saw one of them wearing the badge of the
Constable of Scotland in public. They then called

Manning, very little is known. I have
read a letter of his, of about 1825, 111
which he seems to adopt the cla ms
to. royal descent, but is not very ex¬
plicit about this mystery. Probably
he was a curious being who acquiesced
in the stories developed by his sons,
men of many accomplishments. But
if he really attempted to lift the Chal¬
lenger’s glove, as Lady Wake certainly
believed she heard at the time, the
pretension to be rightful King must
have come from him, though it was
out of keeping with the pretension to
be Constable of Scotland.

While the sons were still only
Allans, not Stuarts, one of them pub¬
lished, “copied fiom an odd leaf
pasted into an old MS. History of
the Hays,” the following ancient verse,
among others—

MacGaradh, MacGaradh ! red race of the
Tay,

Ho! gather, ho! gather, like hawks to the
prey—

and so forth. The verses are as antique
as 1814, and imitate Flora Mac Ivor’s
appeal to the clans. The very name
MacGaradh as a Gaelic name for the
Hays is, I fancy, purely fantastic, but
it reminds me that the sire of these
princely youths, the man who did, or
did nor, try to pick up the glove, used
to sign himself MacGaradh. They
seem all to have been demoralised by
reading the Waverley novels.

'Ihe many and varied and ex¬
quisite merits of Lady Alma-Tadema's
paintings, exhibited at the Fine Art
Gallery in Bond Street, must surprise
any lover of pictures who, like my¬
self, seldom goes to see exhibitions of
modern work. The artist has done,
as it were, what the great Dutch
painters would have done pad they
been able to add to their.' skill a
grace more charming than that of
the Frenchmen of the eighteenth cen¬
tury. The studies of children, such
as “ Grandmother’s Needle,” and
“Always Welcome,” and “Looking
Out,” and of musical parties and
modish lovers of old times, with the
perfection of the painting of old carved
oak, old fabrics, old books, are per¬
haps the most attractive things, till
we discover that the skies and moors
and hills in the Highland landscapes are, in their
own way, as true to nature and as beautilul.

Menbury s Foods

The “Allenburys" Milk Food No. I consists of fresh cow's milk scientifically modified so as to closely
resemble human milk in composition. The excess of casein (indigestible curd) in the cow's milk has
been removed, and the deficiency of fat and milk-sugar made good. The method of manufacture
pasteurises the milk and absolutely precludes all risk of contamination with noxious germs. Thus a
perfect substitute for the natural food of the child is obtained, and vigorous growth and health are
promoted.

The "Allenburys" Foods are alike suitable for the delicate and robust, and children thrive upon them
as on no other diet.

No starchy or farinaceous food should be given to an infant under six months of age. it is not only
useless, for the young infant cannot digest starch, but is a frequent cause of illness and rickets.

ART NO TES.

T HE cliarm of the late Lady Alma-Tadewa’s talent
is strongly emphasised in the exhibition at the
Fine Art Society’s, to which the German Emperor lends
“ Love’s Beginning,” and the Manchester Art Gallery
lends “Sweet Industry.” Hers is the work not ex¬
clusively of a painter; it is the work also of a painter’s
wife. In subject, and to a great extent in technique,
it is feminine: without a man’s backing it might have
grown mannish. Few women possessed of an equal
talent have been so little ambitious of the qualities that

the Academicians of the day ; and with the modern
pictures, in Whitechapel, showing what the Tate
Gallery under happier circumstances might have con¬
tained, London is kept well informed in British paint¬
ing. Of British sculpture it knows, and can know,
nothing. The Academy is, to all intents and pur¬
poses, a blank ; elsewhere there is a void. Statues,
it is true, stand in gloomy ineffectiveness in the Gib¬
son Gallery; but who cares, or should care? Now
that the New Gallery is closed there is no place for
the “ outsider ” to look to. The accommodation
at the Grafton Galleries amounts to next to nothing.

their chance. But, even so, why is there no Agnew of
sculpture, nor ever a “one man” show of modern
marbles ?

The cause—or the effect—is not far to seek. At the
Academy, the two sculpture-galleries present a spec¬
tacle lifeless in the extreme. We speak in general
terms because we speak of a general impression.
It is possible to walk thrice round the two rooms

IN THE TOWN WHERE HENRY I. WAS BURIED. READING THE PROCLAMATION

OF KING GEORGE AT BOURNEMOUTH.

Bournemouth has especial reason to appreciate King George's kindly and considerate wish that the national

Bournemouth Centenary fetes, which have long been in preparation, were fixed to begin on July 6, and to last
until July 20.

OF GEORGE V. AT READING.

In spite of the fact that some of his predecessors-on the throne (long ago) have not been quite kind to Reading,
that city vies with any in the kingdom in 'its loyalty. Reading Castle was destroyed by Henry V., and the
last Abbot of Reading was hanged by Henry VIII. Henry I. was buried in the Benedictine Abbey, which he
founded there, and in which nine Parliaments were held.

we commonly regard as masculine. In none of her
works does Lady Alma-Tadema too closely resemble Sir
Lawrence, and it is easy to know who gave her the
courage of this dissimilarity. It is among children that
Lady Alma-Tadema painted with surest sympathy and
success; but other things sometimes inspired her, as they
did when she designed the fine “ At Knowle House.”

With the exhibition of the work of Wright, of Derby,
at Messrs. Graves’s Gallery, affording a contrast to

On this account, sculptors who have hitherto exhi¬
bited at “ Fair Women,” or “ International,” or ordinary
summer exhibitions at the New Gallery have tried for
admittance to Burlington House and, in some cases,
failed. The need for a society that would arrange
exhibitions of statuary, properly spaced and lighted, has
never been acuter. When Sir H. Herkomer persuades
the R.A. to quit its present quarters and build several
palaces in the Green Park, the chisellers may have

MacKennal’s “ The Mother ” proves that an artist still
has something to fear for his art when he is elected
Associate. Mr. John Tweed has put vigorous model¬
ling into “ The Countess Beauchamp,” but the com¬
panion bust of Lord Beauchamp is as uninteresting as
most portraits destined for family pedestals. Mr. Tweed,
like M. Rodin, it will be noticed, shirks the sartorial
encumbrances of the modern man, and bares his sitter’s
neck and shoulders. E. M.

How to prepare

A jug, a glass graduated for
measuring, a bottle of fresh milk,
a tablespoon for mixing, and a
bottle of Mellin’s Food — these
are all you need for preparing
Mellin’s Food “ to a nicety.’’
(Watch for further useful hints)

Mellin’s Food
with cow s milk
is the equal of
mother s milk.

I F every mother who cannot
nurse her child would only
bear this fact in mind, if she
would only give baby Mellin’s
Food instead, her anxiety
would soon be set at rest.

For baby will thrive on M ellin s

1 HE PHASES OF DEATH.

R ECENTLY a discourse was reported as having been
delivered in London on pre-existence and survival
in respect of the doctrine of immortality applied to human
life. It cannot be said that the lecturer evolved any new
thing in the course of his prelection. On the contrary,
he founded a Series of suppositions on phenomena relat¬
ing to the life of cells, such as are familiar to the merest
tyro in physiology. For example, there was quoted the
we ll-known fact that the living cells of our body—most
of them—illustrate a process of continual death and
extinction, losses made good by as constant a production
of new cells. Local death in our tissues is as natural a
feature of existence as is the taking of nutriment. The
old cells of the outer skin are given off in countless
numbers daily. They are produced by the under-skin,
which is well provided with nerves and blood-vessels,
and is, in fact, an extremely vital tissue. As the outer-
skin cells are developed, they are active enough, but
succeeding growths push them nearer and nearer the
! skin surface, till they become mere microscopic scales,

I disappearing under the friction of our garments and the
process of ablution. Thus from an organised, if low-
class cell, every upper-skin element is destined to die
I and to be moulted off as a dead unit. This is its
fate decreed by nature, and this is one of the physio¬
logical examples of the truism that in the midst of
life we are in death.

Not all cells reflect in this way the history of the
body of which they form part. It is doubtful, for
example, if brain or nerve cells can be renewed when
they die, as perish many of them do to a certain extent
after a certain period of age has been attained. I do
not know if there are any researches which go to prove
that the cells which make up the aggregate of that
great and important colonial gland, the liver, are capable
of reproducing lost members. I know that in the case
of certain other highly important cells of the organism
devoted to the development of the race, we find an
enormous number present at the beginning of life, and
there are no renewals required, for that matter of it, to
counteract the effect of the death-roll. If any con¬
clusion, indeed, can be drawn from the history of our
bodily elements, it would seem to be that which asserts
that it is the less important cells which are perpetually
being cast off, and as constantly renewed. The. more
important cells, on the other hand, live their life—a
longer one, no doubt, than that of the others — and
when they die are not succeeded by new generations.

It has always proved a fascinating practice for
theorising on the part of many grades of thinkers, to
select cell-life in support of the doctrine of that con¬
tinued personal existence which is summed up in the
word “ immortality.” But, with Orpar, we might say
that, in so far as either support or denial of that
doctrine, we have simply to make our exit by the door
we entered. It is impossible to credit any cell, even
the highest, with vital features, apart from those which
mark the career of the frame of which it represents a
living unit. The consideration of a brain-cell and its
history does not seem to lend any more or any less
support to the doctrine of existence after death than does
the consideration of life as a whole. In one sense there
is no death, for as we cannot create matter and force,
so it is impossible they should be destructible or capable
of annihilation. It is the old example of the candle
which helps us here. You burn your candle under the
eye of the chemist, and he will present you afterwards
with grain for grain weight of waste products corre¬
sponding to the consumed material.

It is so with force. The energy displayed equally
by the universe outside and by the body inside it is
not lost ; it only changes its direction. There is un¬
questionably an immortality of physical things ; that no
one denies : whether it extends to the purely vital side
is precisely what we do not know', for the plain reason
that we do not know what life itself is. If there is no
grave argument to be deduced, as a matter of pure
science, for the continuance of vital energy in some
shape or other, after death, it is equally certain there is
to be found no definite argument against such a belief.
If life be even a complex collection of energies, why
should these not survive—that is, be incapable of annihil¬
ation—like all oilier forms of force ? Only, the mode of
survival and continuance is not necessarily to be sup¬
posed to be represented by the customary and often crude
conceptions entertained regarding an after-existence.

In another sense than in that of cell-death we may
be said to “ die daily,” and the reflection of the immor¬
tality for which men hope is seen in the opposite process
of continual bodily repair. Every breath we give out
represents a kind of dissolution of so' much of our per¬
sonality. The body is a machine always at work, and it
is always wasting, and always demanding repair in the
shape of food. We are debtors to the world in the sense
that from the world we obtain matter to build our frames.
We pay the debt in little instalments hour by hour, and
when we “shuffle off this mortal coil ” we pay our debt in
full. For all our bodily elements are restored to Mother
Earth, and they will enter into new combinations in other
forms of life. The flower may thus naturally blossom
on the tomb, as the butterfly flits about the sepulchre.

“ Imperial Caesar, dead, and turn’d to clay,” repre¬
sents the great poet’s expression of the fact that we are
of the earth earthy. Analogy, which may be a deceitful
guide, as Darwin remarked, may be trusted here fairly
enough to show that, in the constitution of things, there
is no death. There is change of environment for living
matter whose vitality has ceased; but no extinction, and
there can equally be no obliteration of energy either.
This great fact should place the question of tin* actual
immortality of things on a safe basis, and from it, those
who regard science as a safe teacher may draw comfort
and satisfaction. It must be left to the faith that is the
substance of things hoped for to mould what science has
taught us into the special form which characterises our
beliefs in the beyond. Andrew Wilson.

AS IN A GLASS DARKLY: INGENIOUS DEVICES FOR SIGHTSEERS

AT THE ROYAL FUNERAL.

MIRRORS USED BY SIGHTSEERS VIEWING THE PROCESSION FROM BEHIND THE CROWD DURING THE PROGRESS
THROUGH LONDON: GLASSES FIXED TO A POLE AND TO AN UMBRELLA.

Several ingenious persona, unwilling to take risks in the great crowd, used mirrors to such good effect that they were able to see the procession and yet remain behind the mass of
people. Two of the devices favoured are here illustrated. That which was the more elaborate took the form of two mirrors fixed on a pole, the one at the top reflecting the image
it received on to the one at the bottom. The less intricate took the form of a mirror mounted on an umbrella and held above the head.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, May 28, 1910.-816

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

in which there is not one indecent word and not one
decent sentiment. Now these sophists have all the
advantage that belongs to those who break an under¬
standing while their opponents keep it. It is poisonous
to a people that they should hear half-truths if they
must not hear the whole trujh. The whole truth is
generally the ally of virtue; a half-truth is always the
ally of some vice. I personally should prefer that decent
people should reply with the whole truth ; I would rather
refute these writers than repress them. But it is highly
probable that we shall do either one or the other; and
in either case we violate the balance of the Victorian
tradition. If we repress them, we violate Victorian
liberty. If we refute them, we violate Victorian decorum.

But this collapse of the compromise affects number¬
less other things besides novels—for instance, news¬
papers In the Victorian atmosphere a newspaper
was a vague, popular voice tempered to a respectful
tone. The rich men who owned the journals were
moderate because they were rich, but they were
positive because they were men; they shared the
passions and prejudices of the mass of their readers.
For instance, the English Press was incredibly childish
in its misunderstanding about foreign politics; it tried
to measure everything with a London umbrella, to
cover everything under a London top-hat. It tried
to talk about the French Revolution without having
even understood that it was a Revolution, let alone a
French one. They lectured the Roman Church without
attempting to understand either the Christian word

THE MOST PATHETIC FIGURE IN KING EDWARDS FUNERAL PROCESSION:
THE WIDOWED QUEEN 1 ALEXANDRA IN HER CARRIAGE.

The hearts of the people went out to the widowed Queen Alexandra, the most pathetic figure in the great
procession. She rode in the first of the carriages following the foreign Kings and Princes, with her sister, the
Empress Marie Fyodorovna of Russia, the Princess Royal, and Princess Victoria. The carriage was a glass coach,
drawn by a pair of bay horses. At Windsor, Queen Alexandra and the Empress Marie drove in a carriage drawn
by a pair of greys, the only one in the main procession there. In spite of the suffering visible in her face, her Majesty
bowed graciously to acknowledge the sympathy of the people.

T HE hot weather, which has been almost coincident
with the new reign, might serve, perhaps, as
another omen, if I were one who liked oritens—or
liked hot weather. Unfortunately, I am one of those
heretics who tend (during a strong summer) to the
somewhajt hasty opinion of certain early Christians,
that Apollo is a devil. Or if he be a beneficent
deity, lie is one of a highly searching and even ruth¬
less sort ; a flaming fact, picking out and empha¬
sising all other facts; making the world far too real¬
istic. The chief gift of hot weather to me is the
somewhat unpopular benefit called a conviction of
sin. All the rest of the year I am untidy, lazy,
awkward, and futile. But in hot weather I feel
untidy, lazy, awkward, and futile. Sit¬
ting in a garden-chair in a fresh
breeze under a brisk grey and silver
sky, I feel a frightfully strenuous
fellow: sitting on the same garden-
chair in strong sunshine, it begins
slowly to dawn on me that I am doing
nothing. In neither case- of course,
do I get out of the chair. But I
resent that noontide glare of photo¬
graphic detail by the ruthless light
of which I can quite clearly see my¬
self sitting in the chair. I prefer a
more grey and gracious haze, some¬
thing more in the Celtic-twilight style,
through which If can only faintly
trace my owh contours, vast but vague
in the dusk and distance.

And in this way, oddly enough, I
think the turn of the year’s weather
may be found a sort of omen, after
all; for the change from the England
that is behind us to that more equi¬
vocal and mysterious! England that is
in front of us is not unlike the change
from the cool laziness with which I
am contented to the hot laziness of
which I am ashamed. It is the whole
difference between being asleep, and
waking up to feel sleepy. The sun
of truth is risen; the facts of the
world are staring at us with a some¬
what sinister clearness ; but the Eng¬
lishman, I fear, has not yet got out
of his garden-chair. For that epoch
which may vaguely be called Vic¬
torian—though it began before Queen
Victoria’s accession and continued
after her death — was very like the
subtle relaxation of a suitable and
comfortable climate. It was the time
of a curious sort of protected free¬
dom, in which the Englishman man¬
aged to feel universal without really
looking at anything that he greatly
disliked. It was the time, for ex¬
ample, when the novel changed from
the liberties of Fielding and Sterne
to the limits of Thackeray and George
Eliot; and yet both Thackeray and
George Eliot are obviously priding
themselves on a liberal and unlimited
view of life, Fiction gave up its universal scope to
achieve a universal appeal. French novels were written
for adults, and confined to adults. English novels
were thrown open to schoolgirls — and cut down for
them. In Paris the baby was forbidden to read the
man’s literature ; in London the man was often com¬
pelled to read the baby’s. Both conditions can be
described as liberty.

But without turning the accident of a new reign
into too stiff a symbol, there are many indications that
the Victorian compromise has broken down. To touch
but lightly on the case mentioned above, the ethics of
fiction, it is pretty plain that new licence is being
claimed, and that of the least healthy sort. A school
of novelists, chiefly female, pour on the market tales

“Church” or the pagan word “Roman.” But though
in these matters the Victorian papers were wrong, they
were still representative. They did not understand
foreign nations, but they did understand their own
nation. Ideas about Ireland quite as idiotic as those
of the leader - writer on the Times possessed the
minds of all the compositors who printed the paper.
Russia was quite as wildly misunderstood in public-houses
even as she was in Parliament; and about the real dogmas
of the French Republic the servants in the servants’
hall were really almost as ignorant as their masters
and mistresses upstairs. These blunders were national
blunders ; the newspapers only had them because
everybody made them. They were only enormous
mirrors or reflectors which flashed
over the world the local flame or
beacon of England; but the flame
was local and quite genuine. There¬
fore under that Victorian compro¬
mise the big wealthy newspapers
might very well be left as they were.
They were rich enough to be a
tyranny; but, thank God, they were
stupid enough to be a mere mob.
They did not misrepresent England,
though they misrepresented every¬
thing else to the last flaming fringe
of the solar system.

But just as we have lived to
see the rise of a cold and lewd
sort of novel, so we have lived
to see the rise of a cold and
lawless and quite cynical kind of
journalism. It does not share the
national prejudices, but only exploits
them. Nay, more, it does not accept
prejudices ; it actually manufactures
them. In short, the Press has ceased
to be roughly representative, and be¬
come almost solely oppressive. The
newspaper proprietors now possess
England almost entirely because they
are typical rich men, and not be¬
cause they are typical men who
happen to be rich. Of course, I know
it is not easy to distinguish to a
shade between representation and op¬
pression ; that is why all oppressors
have managed to succeed. If the
chief and the clan agree, it is not
always simple to decide whether the
chief is agreeing with the clan or
the clan agreeing with the chief. I
only think that in modern England
the clan is nowhere.

This puts the newspaper in the
same equally poised and perilous
position as the novel; it may be at¬
tacked from either side. If we have
a democratic outburst, the newspaper
office may be wrecked by the mob.
If we have a despotic reaction the
newspaper office may be shut up by
the police. But in no case will it
have so cosy and respectable a time
as it has had during the age of newspapers, the
great Victorian epoch. And this, indeed, raises the
strongest case of all—the political case ; though with
this it would scarcely be discreet to deal fully just
now. It will suffice to say that nearly everyone is
now discussing the political future with a dispropor¬
tion amounting to folly, for this simple reason : that
they will talk of the Socialist Party in the modern
House of Commons as if it were the revolutionary
party. In the vivid and virile sense, no parties are
revolutionary; the Labour Party is no more likely to
take to pikes than the Primrose League. In every
other sense, all the parties are revolutionary, lmpe
rialism is as wild a revolt against Balfour as is
Socialism against Asquith ; they have all broken up
the Victorian compromise.

OUTWARD SIO NS OF THE WORLD'S SORROW: FLORAL TRIBUTES

FOR THE FUNERAL OF KING EDWARD.

OFFERED TO THE MEMORY OF A GREAT KING : WREATHS IN THE ALBERT MEMORIAL CHAPEL.

Beautiful wreaths and ocher floral tributes were sent to Windsor in great numbers from all parts of the country, and from other countries as well, for the occasion of King Edward's tuneral. They
were of every size and shape, ranging from the magnificent offerings of Kings and Emperors to humble bunches of wayside flowers from village folk and little children. They were so numerous
that it was impossible to And room for them inside St. George's Chapel on the day of the funeral. Many of them were laid against the chapel walls, and the lawns on the north side were so
covered that there was not an inch of grass visible. Dean’s Cloisters overflowed with flowers. Others were in the Horseshoe Cloister. King George sent a cross of white orchids, and the Queen a
wreath of white may to be placed on the coffin. After the service Queen Alexandra visited the vault and placed on the coffin a wreath of white lilies. The floral offerings were placed on view
the next day in St. George's and the Albert Memorial Chapels, by order of the King. It is in the vault beneath the Albert Memorial Chapel that King Edward's body lies.— (Photograph by Russell.]

without becoming conscious of these qualities an
feeling insensibly drawn to the charm of his per¬
sonality. Unlike many travellers, he had a
delightful literary style, rendered still more
attractive by his sympathetic as well as
scientific interest in nature, especially in
birds. He began exploring when only
twenty - three, and before his great African
journey of 1904 to 1907, he had led expedi¬
tions in the Cape de Verde Islands, on
the Zambesi, and in Fernando Po. He also
took part in the relief of Kumasi in 1900.

Earl Carrington, who has been appointed
to discharge the duties of Lord Great Cham¬

his cousin,
and the Mar¬

he succeeds. Earl
Carrington, who
recently kept his
sixty - seventh
birthday, has
served the ’ State

M.P. for High

1865 to 1868, and
from 1881 to 1885
Captain of the
Royal Bodyguard.

Two baronetcies have been held by the family. The
first was conferred by James VII. of Scotland, in
1685, on David Kinlocli. The third holder of this
baronetcy, however, Sir James Kinloch, forfeited
his title and estates for having taken up arms in
the Rebellion of 1745. He was condemned to death,
but escaped to France. The late Baronet’s grand¬
father, Captain George Kinloch, also bad to flee the
country, in 1819, and -was outlawed for advocating
reform. He became in 1832 the first representative
of Dundee in the Reformed Parliament. The second
baronetcy was conferred on the late Sir John Kin-
loch’s father in 1873. Sir John himself, who was
•born in 1849, was educated at Trinity College, Cam¬
bridge. He married, in 1878, Miss Jessie Lumsden,
and succeeded to the title three years later. He sat
in Parliament for East Perthshire as a Gladstonian

Sir Henry Aubrey - Fletcher, who died at
Angmering, near Worthing, was one of the
most respected and experienced members
of the House of Commons. He had sat in
Parliament for thirty years: first, from 1880
to 1885 as Conservative member for Hor¬
sham, and since 1885 as member for the
Lewes Division of Sussex. Born in 1835,
he succeeded as fourth Baronet in 1851.
He was descended from that Henry Fletcher,
of Cockermouth, who entertained Mary
Queen of Scots in 1568 on her journey to
Carlisl e.

The baron¬
etcy was
conferred in
: on another
ry Fletcher, a
director of the
East India Com¬
pany. The late
Baronet was form¬
erly in the Grena¬
dier Guards, re¬
tiring in 1859,
when he married
a daughter* of
Colonel Sir John
Mori!lyon Wilson.

From that time
he took an active
interest in the
Volunteers and in
the National Rifle
Association. In
1903, having in¬
herited the large
Aubrey estates in
the counties of
Buckingham, Ox¬
ford, and Glamorgan, he assumed the additional sur¬
name of Aubrey. He had no son, and is succeeded
by his brother Lancelot.

'***"’'* *■’ SUM “ m ‘ ery l at Burlington

House seem to me

to constitute rather “a good Academy.” The show
will be spoken against by the Press, for there are few,
if any, “ impressionist ” masterpieces. One of these
was lately created in France, I have read, by smearing
a donkey’s tail with all sorts of colours, and then
rubbing the tail of the donkey over a canvas. The
impressionist, if I
understand the term,
records his impres- f
sions of the external
world, which is grey
and mauve, and a
queer green, very
much blurred. A
shortsighted person
like myself ought to
share these impres¬
sions, but I do not.

If the impressionist,
like Turner, says,

" No ; but don’t you
wish you did?’* I
reply that I am
thankful that I do
not. The strange
thing is that, where¬
as you would expect
one impressionist to
suffer from impres¬
sions different from
those of another,
they all have similar
“ visions of their
own,” as Words¬
worth had of Yar¬
row. I wonder what
Wordsworth thought
that Yarrow was like.

At the Academy
the painters usually
see things as they
appear to the non¬
impressionist world,
and as artists of pre¬
vious ages have seen them, bright and distinct,
when the sun shines. This is a comfort, and
there are interesting situations, as when “ The Con¬
spirators ” (Elizabethan apparently) smell a rat
outside, and a conspirator, Guy Fawkes perhaps,
goes to investigate with a bowl-hilted dagger and

us of Boers of the eighteenth century. There is also a
battle of Lexington, where the British were whipped, and
I do not wonder at it. Apparently, the red-coats drew
up in line, at a distance of, say, three hundred yards, a
length which their muskets would not carry, while the
patriots knelt, and fired with rifles. The redcoats were
mere targets, and they seem to have had no guns.
Grapeshot was indicated, as at Culloden. A company of
the Black Watch would have crossed the fire-zone before
the patriots could have fired
twice—no breech-loaders in those
days, no magazine rifles—and
then the claymore or the bayonet
would have been in action.

With furichirtish , and bide a while,

And speak a word or twa, man,

She’s ni' astraik out o'er the neck,

Before ye win awa’, man !

So says the Highlandman in the
old song of “ Killicrankie.”

Mr. Beadle’s “ Rear-Guard
Action before Corunna ” (Craw¬
ford’s Light Brigade) is an¬
other good military picture. The
handsome, melancholy, mounted
officer is the fated Sir John
Moore, perhaps : one doer, not
suppose that the fiery Craw¬
ford was so fair to see. Mr.

Sargent's “Vespers” appears
very worthy of his genius.

An authentic and' well-reported case has been sent
to me of two men in a coal-mine. One heard a
voice calling, the other did not, but they arranged
their lamps so as to throw as much light as possible
and guide the lost

_wanderer. The cries

were repeated ; only
one man heard them,
and he thought that
he recognised his
brothel’s voice.

Presently he was
sent for, and re¬
ceived the news that
his brother had just
been fatally injured
by an accident in a
district of the mining-
ground distant about
a mile from the place
where he heard the
cries. I do not know
if he had previously
had any such ex¬
perience, like Dr.

heard himself called,
in London, by his
mother, who was at
Lichfield. There was
nothing the matter
with his mother.
The son rejoiced,

me that the two first
lines of the North¬

umbrian, as referring to the six Sundays in Lent.

“ Bari Sunday” was kept in memory of a siege
of Newcastle—at what date, I wonder?—when the

SHAKESPEARE’S MEMORIAL IN HIS
NATIVE TOWN: THE GOWER MONUMENT
AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON.

The splendid group of bronze statuary executed, as a
memorial of Shikespeare, by Lord Ronald Sutherland-
Gower, and presented by him to Stratford-on-Avon, is
well known to all who have visited the poet's native
town, and is perhaps the most interesting of all Shake¬
speare memorials. On the top of the monument is
the seated figure of Shakespeare himself, and around
the base are Lady Macbeth, Prince Henry (Henry V.),
Hamlet and Falstaff, representing severally Shakespeare’s
work in Tragedy, History, Philosophy and Comedy.
This gre-it work occupied Lord Ronald Sutherland-Gowt r
for twelve years. It was unveiled by the late Lady
Hodgson in 1888.

One pleasure never palls — that of having
ceased to be an art-critic. I went and looked
at the contested Venus again, and withdraw
previous and invidious observes. As one has seen
little of Velasquez, except in portraits, one does not
know how he would have been likely to paint a
mythological piece. As for a signature, it was not
visible to me. That signature seems to be like the
celebrated “N” rays, from human beings and other
objects—so few men of science could see them that they

' A Prehistoric

\ \ People.

^ An interesting work, viewed quite as much
from the anthropological standpoint as
from that of the traveller pure and simple, is “With a
Prehistoric People, the Akikuyu of British East Africa,”
by W. Scoresby Routledge, M.A. (Oxon), and Katherine
Routledge, M.A. (Dublin). Illustrated. (Edward Arnold.)
It is probably the anthropological side of the authors*
studies which have most directly appealed to them,
an appeal reflected in the dedication of the work to
Professor E. B. Tvlor. Mr. and Mrs. Routledge have
been indefatigable travellers : still more have they
proved keen observers of facts relating to the life
of a tribe whose ways, it is justifiable to say, do
certainly reflect the com¬
mon usages of prehistoric
people. We are told
that the great area of
the Akikuyu people has
not been wholly or
completely defined by
the British Government.

Its northern boundary
roughly coincides with
the Equator, but the
authors tell us that
owing to the height of
the land the climate is
temperate. The plains
of Athi run to the south,
and the railway runs
through them. The Aki¬
kuyu maintain that they
are derived as a race
from the Akamba, who
to-day live to the south¬
east of Akikuyu territory.

The details of personal
decoration have been
well worked out by the
authors, and their observ¬
ations support the view
that even in primi¬
tive mankind the sense
of beauty, the striving
after aesthetic effects, are
duly represented. The
garments are primitive
eoiough, witness the
N’g-r.o of the men and
boys. Ear - ornament¬
ation is common here, as
elsewhere in primitive
life, the “ear-blocks”
figured by the authors
being of somewhat com¬
plicated nature. In the
art of war the Akikuyu
have developed ingenious
strategy, including their
war-pits with
sharpened
spikes in the
interior im¬
paling the
victims who
fall into the
traps. A
curious testi¬
mony sup¬
porting the
view that
alcohol in one
form or an¬
other is found
used in the
most primi¬
tive races is
afforded by
the practice of
beer- making
among the
people whose
ways our
authors des¬
cribe. Native
beer is made
from the juice
of the sugar¬
cane slightly
ferm ented,

is allowed to drink the native beer until he has
attained the age of an “elder.” It says something

consists in the I

mass of obser- T L. ‘ _ '

vations the authors have collected. It re¬
mains for anthropologists, pure and simple, to make
use of the vast store of material collected, and to
place this primitive people’s ways in relation to the
great mass of information already at hand concerning
the process of human evolution.

“Native beer (n'jo-hi) ... is the pure juice of the sugar

a slightly acid taste, yet somewhat resembles a soft
cider. ... In the tree trunk are excavated shallow
mortars for pounding the cane. Down its length the
women stand alternately — not facing one another."

figures prominently in the list of officials of
the primitive tribe. He represents in himself the
priest and the doctor, and also the teacher of a
higher evolution. The section dealing with the
initiation of the medicine-man is highly interest¬
ing, and the ritual the native doctor carries out
suggests, in respect of the causes of uncleanness,
some of the prominent laws of the Jewish code
itself. The medical phases of the life of this
primitive tribe are interesting. Our authors remark

The gun-carriage on which the coffin containing the remains of King Edward made its sad progress through London has never been used in war. It is the same as that on which Queen Victoria’s
body was borne in 1901. On the present occasion it was sent from Edinburgh, where it had been on view in the Banqueting Hall of Edinburgh Castle. Its limber has an honoured place in the

Tower of London. The wheels of the carriage are fitted with rubber tyres, that' silence may be ensured, and that undue jolting may be avoided. The carriage was drawn by Royal Horse

Artillery, preceded by a full Royal Horse Artillery gun detachment. The coffin was strapped in its place. It was covered with the Royal Standard and the pall used at Queen Victoria* funeral

on which rested ths Crown, the Sceptre, and the Orb. [Photograph by sport and

One of the most striking groups of a series of striking groups was that composed of those famous Field-Marshals of the British Army. Lords Kitchener and Roberts, and Sir Evelyn Wood.
Chief attention was drawn to the figure of Lord Kitchener by reason of the fact that he has only just returned from India and his tour of other countries: but almost* equal interest was taken
in Lord Roberts, ever an idol of the people, and in Sir Evelyn Wood, whose distinguished services none have forgotten. There were many, indeed, who found it difficult to remember
that they were taking part in a funeral, and to restrain the cheers that rose naturally to the lips.

AN ARTISTIC COUNTRY HOUSE.

J N no kind of house is the question of artistic treatment
more difficult than in a country house. Without
experience and knowledge, as well as taste, to inspire and
regulate the scheme, baroque effects and inharmonious
results are not only probable, but well-nigh certain. So
many things have to be taken into consideration—the age
of the house, its style of architecture, the proportions of the
several rooms, their aspect, the existing decoration, if any,
and the structural possibilities. A task involving all these
considerations is quite beyond the amateur. It is, in the
vast majority of cases, quite beyond the provincial decorator.

Only experts, accustomed to deal with similar problems,
with a consummate knowledge of styles and an experienced
eye for colour, can hope to solve it successfully and with
economy. Such experts are Waring and Gillow, of London,

Liverpool, Manchester, and Paris, the leading decorators of
the world, and the acknowledged pioneers of the renaissance
in English furnishing.

Waring’s have unquestionably had a wider experience of
the higher class of artistic decoration than any other house.

Tliey have carried out the biggest contracts in the greatest
number of countries, and have won the unanimous admiration
of all competent judges. They have decorated palaces,
clidteaux and mansions, literally by the hundred. They
have unfurled their flag and erected their hoardings in every
quarter of the globe. They have been entrusted with im¬
portant work for five or six crowned heads of Europe,
and for as many princes of India. Their knowledge
about building, decoration and furnishing, about styles
and harmonies—about organisation and craftsmanship—is
unparalleled.

In dealing with the country house they are facile
princcps. They bring to bear a profound acquaintance
with the subject from both the artistic and the practical
sides. Their designers study the individual case from every
point of view, giving as much attention to modern con¬
venience and comfort as to accuracy of style. Hence their
rooms are something more than severe examples of period
correctness. The period correctness is there, but it is
added to, and softened by, a score of contrivances for
the luxury of the occupiers, and a well-thought-out harmony of effects. Each room
becomes an artistic ensemble. Everything “goes” with everything else, and
the governing note of style is skilfully united with ingenious additions to meet
present-day requirements.

Each house has to be considered on its merits. It may be an old house with
pretensions to structural beauty or venerable interest; in which case a scheme
of decoration and furnishing has to be devised that will agree with these features
without leaning to the heavy and sombre. For the country house must always be
bright and cheerful. Even in the case of a Tudor residence,
or a massive example of Georgian architecture, the in¬
herently gloomy grandeur of the style must be relieved
with every artifice of gay, alluring art. A woik of
this kind requires dexterous handling, and is frequently
ruined by lack of experience. It is a task demanding
refinement and erudition — the refinement of subtle colour
influences and the erudition of period details. There is
no firm so versed in these requirements as Waring’s,
with their Gillow traditions, famous studios, and up-to-date
factories.

When the house to be decorated is a new’, or a com¬
paratively new, one, a rigid adherence to historic style may
be modified in favour of modern treatments, unless the owner
should require it as a background for genuine antique
furniture. Then the peimanent decoration must, of course,
be in accord. Anyone who has seen Dutch marquetry
furniture displayed in a room with an Adam ceiling and
mantelpiece will know, at any rate, what accord does not
mean. In the effective and economical decoration of a room,
to serve as the framework of an exceptional suite, Waring’s
are at home. In their factories they have an immense stock
of panelling, flooring, doors, chimneypieces, &c., in recog¬
nised styles, and after the best models, ready for being
utilised in a house containing choice antique furniture. In
their showrooms, too, they have a vast assortment of re¬
productions of pieces of historic merit, that can be employed
to supplement genuine pieces in the same style. It is better
to fall back upon good copies than to fill up gaps with
heterogeneous examples.

The great distinction which Waring’s enjoy is due to
the thoroughness of their work, the activity of their enter¬
prise, and the loftiness of their aims. It is an indisputable
fact that no other furnishing house in the world has any¬
thing like such a scope of enterprise and such a brilliant
record of success. Underlying all this constant energy and
commercial vigour there is the aim of the business—which
has shaped its purpose and is controlling its destinies. This
policy is to combine good design and the cachet of ta>t:

with good workmanship, and both with the lowest price consistent with
quality, so that the customer gets the benefit of artistic results at a moderate
outlay. These are the ideal principles of trading, of which Waring’s were the
pioneers on the grand scale. They are preaching this doctrine of Art and
Economy all over the world. They are practising it with ever-increasing brilliancy,
in scores of English country homes to-day., It is but a truism to say that a
country house, no matter what its condition, can be made into a thing of beauty
when Waring’s bring their resources and put their artistic intelligence to the woik.

L IKE the Academy, the New English Art Club
makes a brave show without some of its
showiest members. Mr. John and Signor Mancini
are both absent—not, we hope, seeking satisfaction
one from the other, in the manner of Mr. Chester¬
ton’s believer and unbeliever, on account of those
vast differences of opinion that have occasioned
interesting conflicts of paint on the Club’s walls.
Mr. Max Beerbohm, however, is an exhibitor, his
farewell to prose and his prose’s public having gone
no farther. In one of his caricatures, Mr. Winston
Churchill is seen reasoning the Budget with the
I3uke of Marlborough, and Blenheim itself spreads
its huge bulk over the landscape behind the cousins.
Mr. Beerbohm’s architecture is as sketchily treated
as his politics, but both seem reasonable enough.
In another caricature, Mr. Cunninghame-Graham
cuts a very genteel figure before a group of navvies,
owe of whom says, “ Bly me, Bill, if he didn’t call
ns comrids ! ” It is to be doubted whether Mr.
Cunninghame-Graham s admirers in the Row or
the Rambla would recognise the uncouth dandy of
this drawing. One of Max’s happiest notions finds
more or less successful expression in the page of
portraits called “As I had Supposed Them to Be.”

some green retreat. Sprawling figures, and the partial glimpses of
faces and hands, are drawn as only Mr. Sargent could have drawn
them. The sense of beauty and arrangement never interferes
with the verisimilitude of Mr. Sargent’s record ; on the other hand,
his record embraces all the natural loveliness of lovely scenes.

Mr. Roger Fry’s “ The Dead Tree” is the most
important of the drawings in the first room at the
“ New English.” Learned and beautiful, it seems
to summarise the uses of its author’s profound
scholarship in picture-galleries from Umbria to
U.S.A. It is the tree of artistic knowledge, and is
dead. One wonders that it has come so nearly to
the expression of personal feeling, since it is frankly
an essay in traditional draughtsmanship. It is
important, also, as representing not only Mr. Fry,
but a whole faction of modern water - colourists.

Mr. D. S. MacColl’s “The Church Tower, and
Mortain,” a delightfully constrained and considered
composition, makes us uncomfortable for the Keeper
of the Tate Gallery. To confine him among
modern canvases is like condemning Mr. Fry to
live among sky - scrapers and Carlo Dolcis in
New York. Even these austere keepers of pictures
and picture-consciences must, we imagine, capitu¬
late to Mr. Sargent, whose two water-colours,

“Flannels” and “On the Giudecca,” hanging
near Mr. MacColl’s drawing, outrage the tra¬
ditional uses of the art, but are triumphant examples
of the new realism. In the one the ropes, boats,
masonry, and the water are thrown haphazard upon
the paper; but they fall in perfect order, and all
the blazing variety of sun-lit surfaces is expressed
in absolute reasonableness. In the other, three grace and athleticism . mlle. baldina and m. Theodore kosloff,

“ CHAINS,'* AT THE REPERTORY THEATRE.

I T is curious that the most successful first night
at the Repertory Theatre since the premiere of
“ Justice,” which opened the season, should be that
of a drama written by a girl clerk who, at the
time of writing it, had never been inside a play¬
house. Obviously, the talk of a long apprentice¬
ship being needed by the dramatist can be exag¬
gerated. For there is nothing amateurish about
“ Chains.” Here we have a young girl handling,
it is true, the kind of life she thoroughly knows ;
but with an unerring eye to stage effect, and with
an ear that is able to judge of the exact values of
dialogue. Nay, more ; Miss Elizabeth Baker, novice
as she is, succeeds in broaching a burning question
affecting lhe class to which she belongs, and works
her pr oblem out with the nicest appreciation of what
can be urged by all- the parties. How comes it, her
hero asks, himself a clerk, that the average London
clerk is content to be a machine, is willing to go
on in his endless routine ? It is, Charlie Wilson
decides, because clerks as a class are timid, and,
dreading competition, play for safety ; they want,
as the phrase goes, security of tenure, and sacrifice
to that all their independence and chances of living
their own lives. Though he is married, and not
really unhappily married, he decides that he will
not sink into the ordinary rut—and there is Miss
Baker’s plot in a nutshell. Like that of almost
any good play, the story of “Chains” is sim¬
plicity itself. Wilson pants for freedom, is restless
under his “chains,” yearns for the broad plains
and unfettered life of Canada. He resolves to get
away, yes, even to leave his wife behind, and, of
course, there is a tremendous uproar among her
relatives. The one person who sympathises with
him is his sister-in-law—a girl who has drifted
into an engagement, when what she really wants
is to be able to battle with the world and forge out a
career for herself. She sympathises with Wilson’s
revolt, but it all comes to nothing, for his nice and
pathetic little wife announces that they are to have
a child, and so the chains are refastened and the
hero puts on his top-hat and black coat, and starts
off once more for the City. Mr. Dennis Eadie is
the clerk—the dissatisfied clerk—to the life ; gets his
accent, his impatience, his good-nature, his eager¬
ness for argument. Miss Hilda Trevelyan secures
all her plaintive effects, vocal, silent, as the wife ;
Miss Sybil Thorndike is delightful as the revolting
daughter; and Mr. Edmund Gwenn, Miss Florence
Haydon, Mr. Donald Calthrop, Miss Dorothy
Minto, and others, not only individualise their
characters, but also produce a delicious ensemble
of lower middle-class manners and sentimentality.

HOW I REGAINED MY HEALTH

Remarkable Letters from Famous People.

Next to experiencing for oneself the revitalising effects of Sanatogen,
nothing can be more convincing than the spontaneous testimony of those
who have themselves benefited by this unrivalled food - tonic. But such
testimony must be beyond suspicion; it must emanate from people of such
high standing that their names alone are a guarantee of good faith.

Of this rare quality are the testimonials printed here, personal letters
from well-known men and women who would be incapable of publicly
recommending an article unless they were certain that it was deserving of
their tribute. No one who reads their letters can fail to be convinced
that Sanatogen does all that is claimed for it; yet these are but a hand¬
ful out of thousands of similar letters from people who have proved for
themselves that Sanatogen is the supreme remedy for nervous debility, brain
fag. insomnia, digestive disorders, anarmia, wasting diseases, etc.

Endorsed by 12,000 Doctors.

It cannot be too often repeated that Sanatogen is not a secret remedy;
that doctors themselves—usually so averse to proprietary articles—prescribe
Sanatogen and recommend it continually, because they know what it con¬
tains and why its effects are so powerful and lasting. They know, in short,
that Sanatogen’s constituents are the nutritious element of milk and a certain
form of phosphorus, the vital element of the brain and nervous system, and
that, because these are chemically and skilfully combined, they become
readily absorbed by even the weakest patient, so that the milk-
element builds up the bodily vigour, whilst the phosphorus feeds
and revitalises the depleted nervous system. j—

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, May 28, 1910.-844

LADIES’ PAGE.

F ASHION news has, naturally, come to a full stop in
consequence of the national mourning - . When this
is reduced to half-mournirg, on June 17 , it will be proper
to relieve the black dre&ses with white in the form of
yokes, collarettes, frillings, and even white glac 6 or satin
linings under transparent fabrics ; and grey, heliotrope,
and patterned or striped fabrics showing any one of these
colours with white or black will all be in keeping. Mean¬
time, all the novelty that there is to note is concentrated
in details. Tight and short skirts have naturally been
ordered by women who follow fashion’s changes, but
there has been a very proper feeling that extremes
should be avoided. Still, it has been abundantly clear
that the cardinal point to bear in mind in wearing
such a dress is—to don nice shoes. It is unlucky
that one benefit is gained in our costumes at the
expense of another, and the light weight and con¬
venience in wet weather of a short and narrow
skirt is being counterbalanced by the revival of high-
heeled shoes. The ridiculous Louis XV. heel, right
under the middle of the foot, is not yet in evidence;
but one cannot get away from the sad truth that a

tall and narrow heel gives a far more elegant appear¬
ance to the foot when in full view, as it is with

the new skirts, than can be obtained with the most

carefully made natural-form footgear, with wide and
low heels. The most fashionable heel just now, how¬
ever, is rather wide, by no means a narrow peg.
Moreover, the vast majority of women, even amongst
the well-to-do classes, do not go to any extremes in
their costumes, and are loo active and too sensible to
adopt excessively high-heeled or narrow-soled shoes.

It is one of the changes of our time that women
purchase ready-made or partly made clothing so
much more than they used to do. Time was when
anybody with pretensions to be “ a lady ” would have
snorted with indignation if charged with wearing ready¬
made clothing. Now, thousands of ladies went forth
and bought their mourning in the shape of ready-made-up
garments, especially of the coat-and-skirt order. These
need only the slight alteration to adapt them to the
individual figure that all the big shops are prepared to
undertake, and a woman of average figure feels it neither
a disadvantage nor a disgrace to don garments of good
fabric and style, though made by the gross.

It was the old custom to commit the making of the
less elaborate dresses and simple blouses to the lady’s-
maid, but the modern system generally produces smarter
results. Jt has also much lessened the burdens imposed
upon the individual maids as dressmakers, for the half-
made dresses, embroidered blouse-lengths, trimmings to
be applied instead of worked on, and the like, have
saved many an hour’s labour. French ladies are begin¬
ning to expect from their maids, in lieu of these older
dressmaking services, a certain amount of home laundry-
work. A maid should be able to undertake to rescue

from the risks of the public laundry some of the finer
washing and ironing for her lady: tiny embroidered
handkerchiefs, corset-covers of delicate batiste, and the
like, demand such special care. The shelves of the
wardrobe which are appropriated to the finest personal
linen should be covered with thin silk, the ends long
enough to turn over the clothing as it lies in its piles ;
and sachets are distributed in the midst of the linen, to
perfume it in that delicate fashion that is the final touch
of feminine refinement.

Lord Walsingham writes to call attention to what
he believes to be a source of needless danger of that
perilous and distressing complaint, bronchitis. It lies
in the planting of plane-trees to ornament our town
streets. This has become very common of recent years,
since the plane is a handsome shade - tree, and has
the property of resisting the evil influence of smoke.
It appears, however, that the plane sheds a dangeious
hairy growth from its leaves in spring, and in the
autumn makes, with its seeds, an even more mis¬
chievous dust, full of irritating particles, microscopic,
but still sharp as needles, which there is reason to
believe must be the real cause of many attacks of
bronchitis and pneumonia. Lord Walsingham says that
the evil result of planting this tree in towns was known
to the ancients, and is mentioned by Galen, and in
modern days experience of its mischief has caused such
planting to be prohibited in Alsace.

Preparations are being made for another great pro¬
cession on behalf of Women’s Suffrage at the end of
June next. In this demonstration all the societies will
unite, with the exception of the old and original
society, which has formally excluded from its member¬
ship everybody who will not sign a pledge to give no
assistance, financial or personal, to the “ Militants.”
A feature of the procession will be the section of
prisoners: women who have gone to jail as criminals
for insisting upon being heard asking for the vote in
places where their voices w’ould not be lost in space.
There are several hundreds of these, but, from the
point of view of the spectator, it is rather a pity that
it has been decided that the prisoners will not be dis¬
tinguishable, since each womaiv who has been to prison
more than once is to appoint a “double,” or repre¬
sentative. Thus, Lady Constance Lytton will walk
in her own person, and will also appoint a sub¬
stitute to represent her as “ Jane Warton,” the alias
under which she was convicted and fed on prison
diet by force, after having been released, on the
alleged ground of her health, without undergoing the
ordeal, when she was sentenced in her own name.
There is something a little tame about a mere repetition
of an already tried mode of demonstration, as this pro¬
cession will be ; but what are the Suffragists to do ?
“Militant” action being abandoned for some months
past, their innumerable public meetings and other peace¬
ful plans for bringing forward the question are again

“The Survival of the Fittest.”

Corsets are essentially the one article of feminine apparel upon which every lady i
cannot bestow too much thought and discretion in selection.

They are the foundation upon which depend the distinction and effect of both
costume and gown.

A perfect presentation of figure is impossible unless the corset worn conforms in
rhe most minute particulars to the lines and curves of the wearer’s body.

This is just the reason why the La Vida Corsets arei
so highly esteemed and so greatly extolled by every lady

An inferior corset—that is, a corset which is haphazard
and altogether indifferent—always mars and mutilates
r' > feminine beauty and grace.

v With the La Vida Corset this is impossible, for it
tiw nnll “fits the figure” in the most exact manner.

Every natural curve of beauty is enhanced, every
harmonious outline is accentuated —just because the
I r La Vida Corset is designed on the highest principles ol
the corsetiere’s art.

MUSIC.

T HE first month of Grand Opera in 1910 will not
soon be forgotten by those who direct or manage
Covent Garden. Before the season was a week old
troubles began—singers, of whom much was expected,
were taken ill, and substitutes were needed at short
notice. A few hours after the curtain had fallen upon
the first “ Ring” cycle, Dr.

Richter was prostrated : a
nervous breakdown followed
on the heels of a period of
unusual tension, and it be¬
came necessary to engage
three conductors from Ger¬
many to take his place.

Herr Drach, Dr. Rottenburg,
and that great musician, von
Schuch, came to town. But
before the second cycle could
be brought to an end the
death of the supreme patron
of Grand Opera closed Covent
Garden, and but for the
prompt and merciful thought
of King George the house
would not have reopened
before Saturday last. Now
the season is in full swing
again; but to those of us
whose acquaintance with the
opera-house is long and inti¬
mate, the appearance of the
place is strangely unfamiliar.

We hear fine music and ex¬
quisite singing, but we are
in a house of mourning—the
black dresses, the compar¬
ative absence of jewels, the
empty Royal Box are all
minders of the nation’s loss.

King Edward was a familiar
figure at Covent Garden,
and, though he sat in the
corner of an omnibus-box on
the pit tier and was visible to
very few, save as he came
and went, there were signs
of his presence in other
parts of the house; and the
Queen-Mather was a con¬
stant patron of the Royal
Box. Doubtless the season
will suffer considerably, but
we may be sure that the programme placed before sub¬
scribers will be faithfully followed and the high standard
of performance maintained.

Under the direction of von Schuch, who fills in
Germany the place that Richter has taken in this

country, “ Tristan ” ha's been heard to great advantage.
Mme. Saltzmann-Stevens has appeared as Isolde for the
first time in her brief and brilliant career, and those who
are not satisfied with her rendering of one of the most
difficult idles in opera must be hard to please. Van
Rooy and Mme. Kirkby Lunn have helped to make
the revival memorable. In *' The Barber of Seville ”
and “ Traviata/’ Mme. Tetrazzini has been brilliant ;

the music of her rdles might have been written for her,
and she has a certain dramatic gift, not, perhaps, of a
high order, but sufficient to save her from the charge of
being no more than a greatly gifted singer. By the time
these lines are printed the prima donna should have sung
the florid music of “ La Sonnambula,” a time-tarnished

work revived for her sake. “ Alda ” has been given
with all the splendid mounting that makes it one of the
most significant works in the Covent Garden repertoire,
and “ Samson et Dalila ” has been successfully revived.
Mme. Kirkby Lunn’s work in these two operas has been
of the highest quality — in fact, down to the time of
writing, no singer has been so consistently brilliant, for
while her voice retains its quality, her dramatic sense
has quickened, and to-day
she is an artist whose equip¬
ment is second to none. In
*' Samson et Dalila,” a new
tenor, M. Franz, made a
very fortunate debut. He is
a singer whose gifts were
discovered by a Paris news¬
paper through the medium
of a competition. Some day
an enterprising and pains¬
taking writer will perhaps
collect the life-story of some
of our most popular singers,
and the tale of their vicissi¬
tudes, usually various, will
doubtless be of great interest.

The season at His
Majesty's Theatre was post¬
poned for a few days on
account of the national
loss, and opened with a
fine performance of Offen¬
bach’s “ Tales of Hoff-
mann,” given with an
English libretto and with
the three soprano parts
entrusted to three singers
instead of to one, as the
composer intended. Of the
three Miss Ruth Vincent
and Mme. Zclie de Lussan
deserve most praise. Follow¬
ing the Offenbach opera
came “ Hansel and Gretel,”
with a cast diffeting but
slightly from the one that
interpreted the opera under
Mr. Beecham’s manage¬
ment at Covent Garden
earlier in the year. “Snamus
O'Brien ” was to follow,
but the illness of two singers
caused a postponement until
this week, and Mr. Beecham
was compelled to rely upon his two first productions,
both of which had made a very definite appeal. Mr.
Beecham has given ample evidence of the catholicity
of his taste by interpreting the “ Tales of Hoffmann ”
with as much regard for its beauty as he showed in
the interpretation of the “ Elektra.”

A PICTURESQUE OLD CITY OF SOUTHERN FRANCE. THE ASCENT TO THE AUDE GATE AT CARCASSONNE.

The old town of Carossonne, capital of the Department of Aude, on the Gulf of Lyons, is strongly situated on a rock commanding the River Aude
and the Canal du Midi. Surrounded by great walls, it contains the castle and the old cathedral, dating from the eleventh and fourteenth
centuries. Carcassonne (ancient Carcaso) was already, in the time of Caesar, an important town. It is now a favourite place of pilgrimage
by the southern section of the Paris - Orleans Railway.

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

T HOSE who in the near future contemplate motor
touring- abroad must bear in mind that, under the
International louring Regulations which now obtain,
things are not quite as they were hitherto. In the issue
of the Royal Automobile Club Journal of the 19 th inst.
the formalities necessary to the obtaining of an inter¬
national touring pass arc
very, clearly set out. The
R.A.C. is one of the bodies
authorised by the Local
Government Board to issue
these passes. The car to be
used has to be presented for
examination to ascertain that
it complies with the con¬
ditions agreed, while the
driver must undergo a
practical examination in
driving to prove competency.

In addition to the pass, the
Club will then issue an oval
plaque, bearing the letters
G. B., which must be affixed
jU't above the regulation
British numbers. So armed,
car and driver can travel
in all the agreeing countries
without special licenses or
carrying special number¬
plates. Drivers must not
be less than eighteen years
of age, and must supply two
unmounted photographs of
themselves, i£ in. by if in.

The total cost for car and
driver examinations, issue of
certificates, and plaque is
one guinea.

I have more than once
strongly advocated forced
lubrication to all the frictional
parts of a car-engine in these
columns, and 1 arn accord-
ingly gratified to find that
Mr. R. K. Morcom, in a
paper read lately before the
Institution of Automobile En¬
gineers, urges this practice very strongly. In the course
of his lecture lie stated that a car, originally provided
with dash lubrication, had shown great improvement in
running and less wear since being fitted with a forced
system. He further stated that he considered that forced
lubrication brought about high mechanical efficiency,
quiet running, and absence of wear, and was of opinion
that not only should oil be pressure-fed to the crank¬

shaft andb\g-^Yv<J bearings, but also to the gudgeon-pins
and cylinder-walls. I am pleased to be borne out in
my contention by so eminent an authority.

It is grievous to think that, having been rebuffed by
the Trade, the Scottish Automobile Club will stand
down altogether from Reliability Trials. Where pro¬
fessionals fear to tread the Club might find amateurs

be made anything like so stringent and imperative as
those that have ruled hitherto.. I can quite imagine
a very considerable entry for such an event, but the
definition ofapiivate car and an amateur driver would
take some drafting and much administration.

Although the statement is not yet official, it would
appear that the present R.A.C. horse-power rating is to
be taken as the measure of
the taxability of a motor-car.
And having regard to all the
circumstances of the case,
I think we may esteem our¬
selves fortunate that this for¬
mula is to be accepted in lieu
of Mr. Dendy Marshall’s, or
another taking cognisance of
stroke. If the authorities
hold to this measurement in
the future, it will surely have
some effect on design, in the
lengthening of strokes—a not
altogether undesirable thing
as restraining a too - high
engine-speed, which latter,
in my opinion, can be very
much overdone for comfort.
Presumiug, then, that the tax
is to be levied on the R.A.C.
basis, the non-mathematical
among us will be face to face
with a mathematical problem
by no means simple 10 the un¬
initiated. But all these will
find their doubts and troubles
swept away if they will ob¬
tain the horse-power booklet,
price sixpence, from the Royal
Automobile Club, wherein,
providing they do not drive
an utterly unknown car, they
will find the resolving job
done for them, and their tax
marked in plain figures.

METALLIC AND AMPHIBIOUS* -AN ^AEROPLANE MADE ENTIRELY OF STEEL AND ALUMINIUM, WITH A FLOATING CAR.
No wood or canvas was used in the construction of this aeroplane, which was built by an American resident in Paris, Mr. Moisant. The wings
are made oi thin aluminium, and the lower parts are of steel. The motor and the pilot’s seat are placed in a car built to float on water, with
two flat stabilisers, one on each side. The machine is fitted with a 50-h.p. Gnome motor. Mr. Moisant has already made some short flights in it.

ready to enter. Indeed, a writer in one of the motor
journals actually suggests a Trial, perhaps less exacting
and expensive, for private car - owners and amateur
drivers. The idea really bears thinking of; for it might
be arranged as a Reliability Tour, giving a trip through
the best parts of Scotland rather more point than mere
sight-seeing. As suggested, while rules and regulations
would have to obtain in sort, they could not, of course.

A new compound for rub¬
ber, called “ Almagam,” is
in course of exploitation by
the New Motor and General
Rubber Company, of 374 , Eus-
ton Road, N.W. This firm make no extravagant
promises with regard to the durability of their “Almagam”
re-treads, while on the other hand the prices for plain
and grooved covers are 50 per cent., and for steel-studded
non-skids 33 per cent., below the normal. I have not
yet had any practical experience of these “ Almagam ”
re-treads ; but, completed, they look an excellent job,
and the process is worth a trial.

THE PLAYHOUSES.

- DAME NATURE." AT TERRY’S.

T HE acting, rather than the play, has made the
success of “ Dame Nature,” Mr. Fenn’s version
of Henry Bataille’s “ Femme Nue,” and the acting,
above all, of Miss Ethel Irving. It is a pleasure to
renew acquaintance, as we may do now at Terry’s, with
an art so true and so affecting as is hers in the rdle of
Lolotte. Whatever may be said of other persons of the
drama—the artist, for instance, who marries his model
and then tires of her lack of social adaptability, or the
Princess who wooes the painter so fiercely and unscru¬
pulously—Lolotte herself, unhappy, awkward, passionate,
big-hearted Lolotte, is thoroughly alive, and Miss
Irving seems to get at once into the skin of the
character. Right from ihe first her manner carries
conviction, and we feel all along under the influence of
a magnetic personality. It is, however, in the battle-
royal which takes place between the fine lady and her
humble rival that the actress rises to the height of her
powers. Then it is as though she were carried out of
herself by the intensity of her emotions. So poignant is
the woman’s distress, so heartrending are her appeals
in the cause of a dead love, that we turn our eyes away
abashed and feel as if we were intruders. Rarely has
grief—grief in its most distracting form—been depicted
so naturally by any English actress on our stage.

THE ALDBOURNE VILLAGE PLAYERS
AT THE CORONET.

A delightful novelty in the way of theatrical entertain¬
ment is being provided this week and next for such
playgoers as choose to make their way to the Coronet,
Notting Hill, for there Mr. Charles McEvoy’s troupe of
village players from Aldbourne are appearing for a fort¬
night’s season in this author’s rural comedy, “The
Village Wedding.” Genuine Wiltshire ru<ics they are,
speaking the dialect of their own everyday life, re-enact¬
ing on the stage their local customs, singing their old
country songs, dancing in true county attire the wedding
dance of Wiltshire tradition. The spectator who repairs
to the Coronet just now will feel as if he had suddenly
and unexpectedly come across a rustic festival, save
that his presence does not disturb the peasant actors
in the smallest degree, and that they talk over the
wedding breakfast, or go through their songs and
dances as artlessly and naturally as though there
were no onlookers. Of course, the villagers show
themselves not quite capable of rising to the
occasion when moments of the tenser sort of drama
occur in their play ; but so long as they are
required merely to illustrate the humours and feast-
ings and terse speech of their own Wiltshire, they
are charming in their artlessness and spontaneity.

Your Complexion cleared of

Eczema, Pimples, an Irritating Sash

or any Disfiguring Eruption

A PERFECT complexion is one free from
spots or blemishes, but unfortunately
many things have a bad effect on the skin.
Wind, sun, the general health, impurity of
the blood, and fifty other causes may render
the skin unsightly and inflict very real
annoyance on the sufferer. Not only do
rashes, eruptions, pimples, and eczema dis¬
figure those who are their victims, but the
irritation is in

many instances so »# ^ .

intense that those II

afflicted with such If

troubles are driven ■

nearly frantic. It is ®

a source of misery" ML

during the day, but

becomes far worse W >

at night, and ren- JL. / >

vou troubled in Antexema dears ike

', . . complexion of every blemish.

this way ? Are you

annoyed by eczema, a rash, breaking-out,
pimples, or blackheads ? If so, y"ou need
a cure. Perhaps you despair of being
freed from your skin complaint because
you have already been to a doctor or
skin specialist, or tried various so-called
remedies and gained no relief? Your case
is by" no means exceptional. Time after
time have skin sufferers attempted by every
other means to obtain a cure. Then, at
last, when they were in despair, they tried
the one remedy that always succeeds, and

the prompt use of which would have pre¬
vented all the discomfort. They used Ant-
exema, the irritation ceased at once, new
skin began to replace that destroyed by
their skin complaint, and now they possess
a clear, spotless, healthy" complexion, free
from any" sign of skin illness.

Antexema should be used immediately
signs of skin illness make themselves appa¬
rent. - The first symptoms of skin ailments
are always slight, so slight, in fact, that
in many instances they are ignored, and it
is this delay in treatment that makes it so
easy for them to fasten upon the sufferer.
The more promptly the Antexema treat¬
ment is adopted the more surely" and
quickly is a cure gained.

Antexema prevents skin suffering

But supposing the skin illness has taken
a severe form and you are worried, dis
figured, and humiliated almost beyond en¬
durance, what should then be done ? Get
Antexema immediately and commence its
use forthwith. You cannot imagine how
delightfully" cooling and soothing y’ou will
find it. The relief is indescribable, and y r ou
will wonder why you did not use this mar¬
vellous remedy before. In addition, how¬
ever. to the relief gained, the moment y"ou
start your treatment you stop the further
progress of the skin illness, and before long
it will finally disappear. 1 he reason why
Antexema always succeeds is because Ant¬
exema is different from everything else and

possesses qualities absent from all other
so-called remedies. For one thing, it is
not a greasy ointment. Antexema is a
beautifully prepared creamy’ liquid, and as
soon as you apply it to the affected part it
forms a dry, antiseptic, invisible skin over
it, which effectually excludes dust, grit,
and disease-germs, and promotes rapid and
perfect healing and the growth of new skin.

Every Skin Illness cured

In Antexema is found the cure for every
form of skin illness of young and old, of
infants and adults.
Scaly, weeping,
and dry eczema,
bad legs, pimples,
Y rashes and erup¬

tions of every kind,
nettlerash, barber’s
rash, prickly" heat,
and all other
diseased and irri¬
tated conditions
of the skin are
instantly’ relieved
and quickly cured

Antexema quickly stops smarting by A H tiWl* lllcl It

and ernes shaving soreness. (foeS n0t matter

what part of the body is affected or how
long you have been troubled, Antexema
will soon eradicate your skin complaint.

Every chemist anti store, including Boots’, Taylor’s, Lewis
and Burrows, Civil Service Stores, Parke’s, Army and Navy
Stores, and every cash chemist supplies Antexema in regular

MR. THEODORE ROOSEVELT MAKING HIS REMARKABLE SPEECH AT THE GUILDHALL ON TUESDAY LAST.

Speaking at the Guildhall, after having received the honorary freedom of the City of London, on Tuesday last, Mr. Roosevelt, ex-President of the United States, expressed himself with remarkable
frankness on certain aspects of British rule. Notably, he dealt with our position in Egypt, saying, amongst other things: “The present condition of affairs in Egypt is a grave menace to both

your Empire and to civilisation . . Of all broken reeds, sentimentality is the most broken reed on which righteousness can lean . . . Now. either you have the right to be in Egypt or you

have not; either it is or it is not youi duty to esrabliah and keep order. If you feel that you have not the right to be in Egypt, if you do not wish to establish and to keep order there,

THE PLAYHOUSES.

“DEIRDRE OF THE SORROWS,” AT THE COURT.

T HE story of Deirdre, certainly one of the most
romantic of Irish legends, seems to exercise a
wonderful fascination over the dramatists of modern
Ireland. No fewer than three plays on the subject have
been staged or published within the last half-dozen
years. The latest dramatic version of the legend to
see the light, “ Deirdre of the Sorrows,” is one on
which the late Mr. J. M. Synge was occupied up to the
time of his death. The directors of the Irish National
Theatre Society have started their London season with
the production of this piece, and make certain ex¬
cuses for it on the ground that it is unfinished,
and had not received the author’s final touches.
The apologies, in so far as they ask indulgence
for any supposed lack of polish in the dialogue,
are totally unnecessary, for rarely, if ever, did Mr.
Synge achieve such exquisite phrasing and prose-
rhythm. The complaint, indeed, that might be urged
is that the playwright has devoted rather too much
attention to the literary and too little to the dramatic
side of his tragedy. While the dialogue charms the
ear with its delicate, if n w and then monotonous,
music, the action is inclined to drag and limp along.
Mr. Yeats' one-act play must have made the distresses
of Deirdre and Naisi—those young lovers who defied
the anger of old King Conchubar, and after marriage
trustfully placed themselves in his power, only to suffer
from his vengeance — fairly familiar to English play¬
goers. Mr. Synge, unlike Mr. Yeats, who began his
play with the lovers' return, opens the first of his three
acts with the couple's meeting, and he also elaborates
the part of Fergus, and introduces a new character,
the spy and would-be assassin, Owen, of whom he
intended making a larger use. Old favourites will

be found in the leading rdles. Miss Sara Allgood

has some fine declamatory moments as the aged
Lavarcham, Miss Maire O’Neill gets an abundance
of quiet pathos out of the sorrows of Deirdre, and
Mr. Fred O’Donovan suppresses his gifts of comedy
and acts very naturally as Naisi.

A NEW RICHARD III. AT THE LYCEUM.
“Richard III.” at the Lyceum is an appropriate
arrangement. There was nothing wrong about the
theatre, the play, or the audience last Saturday night.
What about the actor ? The actor was Mr. Martin
Harvey, one pf the idols of the playgoing public, the
Sydney Carton of “ The Only Way,” the Rat of “ The
Breed of the Treshams,” and, what is more to the point
when a Shakespearean idle is in question, a player who,
under Henry Irving’s management, had prolonged ex¬
perience of and training in Shakespearean work. Every
omen auspicious ! Nothing else wanted but a touch of
genius. Alas ! that is just what Mr. Harvey could not
supply. His is but a superficial and facile interpreta¬
tion ; it lacks largeness of outline, commanding intellect,
subtlety, and power. Hypocrisy, cunning, malignity—
all these qualities the actor shows ; but they do not
seem to come right out of the depths of an evil soul.
They are but fancy-costume qualities, as it were, worn
for the occasion. One can but think that Mr. Harvey has
hampered himself from the start by refusing to obey his
author’s directions, and by presenting Richard as a young
and gallant and dapper cavalier, who only misses being
unusually handsome by the very slightest semblance of
a hump, or, rather, lump. A make-up which followed
Richard’s own description of his physical imperfections
would have helped Mr. Harvey along the right way,
and forced him to strike a harsher and more strenuous
note. He doe^ well in the passages of sardonic
humour, yet even here condescends sometimes to tricks
that are not so very far short of buffoonery. He
reaches his highest level in the vision-scene, in which
he exhibits genuine emotional intensity. But the evil
grandeur of the man, his masterfulness, the relent¬
lessness of his will—these things are not expressed by
Mr. Harvey, picturesque and thoughtful though his per¬
formance is. The Queen Margaret of Miss Mary Rorke
shows feeling of a convincing kind; and support that
is capable enough is supplied by Mr. Eric Mayne,
Mr. Owen Roughwood, and Mr. Charles Glenney.

"DON CfiSAR DE BAZAN," AT THE LYRIC-
Its very elements of farce and burlesque do much to
recommend, even to-day, such a enpe-and-sword melo¬
drama as '* Don Cesar de Bazan.” You may call it
old-fashioned, you may complain of its rant and fustian
and cheap wit and stale tricks and cliches; but some¬
how it conciliates you into good humour. Don Cesar
himself with his mock heroics almost laughs at his
own extravagances, and his laughter is infectious. Of
•course, his is the sort of character that the authors
improvise as they go along, and therefore he is full .of
contradictions. Still, he has the charm of variety aid
high spirits. Mr. Lewis Waller has the gift ijot only t>f
rattling'" through .such a part with untiring energy and
vivacity, but also of inspiring his stage-comrades with
his own feverish intensity. Miss Madge Titheradge as
Marita, Mr^Leon Quartermaine as the King, and a
round dozen of players besides, catch something of
their leader’s enthusiasm; while Mr. Haviland as the
villainous Don Jose contributes a really clever piece of
acting. The version of Dumanoir and d’Ennery’s play
used is Mr. Gerald Du Maurier’s.

LADIES TAKING TICKETS FOR AEROPLANE - FLIGHTS.

There was a curious scene at Ranelagh on Saturday last, a scene which, unique at the moment, seems likely to become a commonplace ere long: all of which is to say that, in an aeroplane-shed,

it was possible to book places for aeroplane-flights. The price charged for each flight with a skilled pilot was ten guineas. Each ticket was numbered, and it was arranged that the "first come,

first served" principle should be observed. Ladies were especially keen to take tickets for flights: the first ticket, indeed, went to a titled lady. The weather on Saturday was too rough to permit

of flights with passengers being made. The tickets, however, hold good for another occasion. Payments were made in nearly every case by cheque.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON MEWS, Jiwe 4, 1910. -866

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

I RECENTLY protested in this place against that
trick of amateur science which consists in learn¬
edly explaining something which explains itself; it
was in connection with some weird reason for the rise
of Socialism. I am net a Socialist; but I know the
reason for the rise of Socialism well enough. It arises
from the recondite circumstance that an extraordinary
number of people have not got enough to eat ; and
that a perfectly plausible scheme has been propounded
for remedying this revolting state of affairs. But
there is another element also which is tending just
now to the triumph of Socialism ; and non-Socialists
ought to realise it clearly before it is too late. The
fact is this—that the State or the Muni¬
cipality are now so constantly left as
the only champions of the very things
that Socialism is said to threaten—local
liberties, old associations, and personal
rights.

An excellent instance is the fantastic
fight in Kensington, round Edwardes
Square and Earl’s Court Terrace. I
do not mean that I think this battle,
picturesque as it is, will convulse the
country with civil war. If ever there is
a revolution in London the mob will
scarcely be content with unscrewing a
bolt or bar, or with taking a company-
promoter’s gate to pieces. The mob is
more likely to take the company-pro¬
moter to pieces ; or, at least, to invent
some guillotine-like tool for unscrewing
his head. In the glad old days when
there were riots in London, a cry of
'prentices would resound “ Clubs! Clubs! ”
I do not think they would have been
content with the inspiring shout, “ Screw¬
drivers ! Screw - drivers ! ” The quite
sensible and spirited people in Edwardes
Square are not raising an extra - legal
riot : they are testing the state of the
law; therefore, very properly, they keep
within the law. Somewhat wilder scenes
would ensue if London ever remembered
the dagger blazoned on her shield : and
it would need some heavy firing to set
the Thames on fire.

But the real lesson of the romance
of Edwardes Square is in the false po¬
sition of our propertied class in this
country. Certain literary traditions still
lingering everywhere have falsified for
most of us the whole notion of the
English aristocracy. The noble novels
of Scott were influenced by ancient
Scottish gentility, and especially by the
utterly different patriarchal kingdoms of
the Highlands. The clever and crazy
novels of Ouida described something
utterly different from English ladies and
gentlemen; presumably Turkish Sultans
and Sultanas. Many entertaining his¬
torical novels (such as the brisk French
tales of the Baroness Orczy) go back to the French
noblesse before the Terror, again a very different class ;
and even about the French nobles our novelists are
generally wrong — making them old - world arrogant
feudalists ; whereas they were often very much up to
date, and rather Republican. But out of all these false
analogies put together the average reader has some¬
how realised a picture of the perfect nobleman, his
blood as old as a Highlander’s, his manners as formal
as a French abba’s, and his whole life as loaded with
ancient splendours and beautiful sleepy ritual as any
Eastern King’s. Hundreds of novels, hundreds of plays,
hundreds of Royal Academy pictures have repeated
the image of the proud, but ruined Peer, stately and
sensitive, seeing the relics of ancestral beauty sold up
by blatant tradesmen or invaded by vandal mobs. In
the presence of this legend it needs a certain leap of
sincerity to face the actual fact. The actual fact is

that with us aristocracy is not only mercantile, but
mercantile in a quite vulgar and ugly way. It is mer¬
cantile not even in the style of lyre or Venice, but in
the style of Glasgow and Birmingham. And the drab
deformity, the inhuman hideousness, of these modern
cities is not the creation of democracy ; it is the creation
of aristocracy. It is the work of those great plutocratic
combinations through which most of the aristocracy
arranges and employs its wealth. It is actually the
nobs, and not the snobs, who vulgarise the landscape.

It is not the shabby bill-poster, pasting up the
crude advert isements of some sauce or pill, who

THE FIRST PREMIER OF UNITED SOUTH AFRICA:

THE RIGHT HON. LOUIS BOTHA. P.C.. LL.D.

(SEP “PERSONAL” PACE.)

himself originates or desires the ugliness. He him¬
self would just as soon paste up the Cartoons of

Raphael. If he is not merely indifferent he might

have a mild preference for pasting up the Declarations
of a Revolution and Reign of Terror. Anyhow, he is
an instrument : the person who wants the street de¬
faced by an advertisement of the sauce is the person
who owns the sauce, or the person who owns mo*t

shares in the sauce. The person who owns most

shares in the sauce is very probably in the House of
Peers. He is, perhaps, voting in that Chamber that
the Embankment shall not be defaced by electric-cars
(which are often comparatively beautiful) at the very
moment when hundreds of his vassals are making
half the walls of London hideous with shrieking pro¬
clamations of his wares. It is not the railway-porter
who makes England ugly with railways or railway-
stations—in so far as these things are ugly. The

railway-porter would just as soon be steering a gon¬
dola. In fact, there is a dreamy look in the eye of the
average railway-porter which leads me to think that his
true place would be in that visionary city of the sea.
If the hordes of average human beings work in ugly
factories, serve in ugly shops, drive ugly vehicles, or
use ugly tools, it is not they that have invented and
distributed these ugly things: it is the people who
have riches and refinement; it is the very people who
have the noble horses and the splendid parks. The
grocer’s assistant sells ugly tins of gum or jam, or
what not; but the man who originally sold them is
possibly a lord and almost certainly a landlord. A
hackney coach may be an ungainly
structure, but the man who drives it
very often has a coronet on his cab,
and, if he were so commanded, would
have a coronet on his head. In this
sense it is quite true that our mer¬
cantile aristocracy has “ made our Eng¬
land what she is ’’—and a very nasty
sight it has made of it.

The Battle of Edwardes Square is a
beautiful instance. Edwardes Square is
an exquisite example of everything which
(in books, pictures, and magazines) aris¬
tocrats are supposed to defend. It is a
pool of old-fashioned peace and beauty,
a little inland lake of that ancient and
largely lost gentility which was at least
artistic as well as artificial, which was
at least gentle as well as merely gentle¬
manly. That stilted yet sincerely delicate
atmosphere of old Kensington which
Miss Thackeray has caught in her
novel as lightly as in a lyric, that almost
eighteenth - century elegance which her
great father loved to linger on, does
really in some faint manner possess the
place. I have known more than one
golden evening in that square when in
my inmost soul I was not quite so cer¬
tain that Queen Anne is dead.

Now it happened that this island of
tradition actually belonged to a noble¬
man, a nobleman who bore the very title
of the place—an excellent nobleman, I
have no doubt: I know nothing what¬
ever against him. But he by no means
played the part that would have been
his in any hearty and healthy novelette.
Students of popular art and literature
can conceive how splendidly the noble¬
man of romance would have stood
stretching his ancestral sword over this
sacred soil, guarding its ancient beauty
from vulgarians and innovators. The
nobleman of actual fact simply sold
the place — not, as he might have
done in Ireland, to the people who
lived there ; but, as is usually done
in modern England, to a company, to
a ring of remote financiers, not one
of whom, perhaps, had ever seen the place. These
financiers (having no taste in pools of old-world
silence) propose to use the place to store motor¬
cars. The inhabitants, who like their square, object;
and the only thing that stands up for them is the
Borough Council.

Now, unless such things can be stopped, Social¬
ism must almost certainly come. In a fight between
public powers and private owners, our sympathy
might be with the private owners But this is not
such a fight. This is a fight between the munici¬
pality and the company, two mere institutions, equally
public, equally cold, equally anonymous, equally lack¬
ing in the least sentiment of private property. If
small genuine properties are not renewed, the world
will certainly become Socialist, preferring the cor¬
poration that is just as well as cold.

It is typical of British colonising methods that the
man who, ten years ago, was Commander-in-Chief of
the Boer forces fighting against us, has now been invited to
the position of first Premier of United South Africa
under the British flag. It is sometimes the case with
nations, as with individuals, that a fight is the best basis
of friendship, when the combatants respect each other.
General Botha, at any rate, has won the absolute trust
of the British in South Africa, as well as that of his own
people, and his Ministry may be expected to do much
towards welding the new Dominion into one loyal and

homogeneous whole. He was born in 1863 at Grey-

Harrow’s new Head-master, the Rev.
Lionel Ford, has had a fitting experience
for that high position in the scholastic
world, for he has been an assistant-
master at Eton, and for nine years Head¬
master of Repton. His association with
Repton, however, dates from an earlier
period, for he was himself at school
there before going up to King’s, at
Cambridge. At the University he won
the Winchester Reading Prize, and took
a first in the Classical Tripos of 1887.
He was President of the Union and
represented Cambridge at golf. He
married in 1904 Miss Mary Catherine
Talbot, daughter of the Bishop of South¬
wark, who, by the way, besides being
now father-in-law to the Head-master of
Harrow, is also brother-in-law to the

British Rule This week has witnessed

two important occasions
in Africa. on t |, e same da.y bear¬
ing on the future of British rule at either
end of the Dark Continent : one the
inauguration on Tuesday of the union of
South Africa, and the other—an event
rather in the world of ideas, yet one that
may have important practical results—
Mr. Roosevelt’s impressive warning as to
the state of Egypt, in his speech, also on
Tuesday, at the Guildhall. The celebra¬
tions on Union Day in South Africa were
necessarily of a subdued and sombre
character, in view of the mourning for
1 he late King, and the actual ceremonies
were brief and simple. It may be, how¬
ever, that this air of gravity deepened
the significance of the occasion. Mr.
Roosevelt’s speech was a stirring call to
the nation to consider its Imperial and
civilising responsibilities. Mr. Roose¬
velt is a sincere friend of this country,
and of humanity at large. Whether his
friendly warning will be taken to heart
by our statesmen remains to be seen.

Somewhat late in the day, perhaps, there has just been unveiled at Edinburgh
this excellent memorial erected in honour of the officers, non-commissioned officers
and men of the Black Watch who fell during the South African War. Much
interest was taken in the proceedings, and appreciation of the statue is general

questions at issue are the right of the United States to
fish Newfoundland waters by means of foreign boats, the

THE FRENCH CHARITY SCANDAL. THE EX-NUN, SISTER CANDIDE,
WHO WAS ARRESTED THE OTHER DAY.

Sister Cmdide, the ex-nun who was arrested the other day in Paris, was well
known for her connection with charities. She directed various hospitals for
patients suffering from consumption, including the Ormesson Hospital, and a
great Sanatorium at San Salvador. It is alleged that Sister Candide, having
obtained Irom two jewellers jewels worth nearly £24,000, on the understanding
that she was to sell them and pay. at all events, a part of the price in June,
instead of returning the jewels or paying the owners, pawned the gems in
England. It is stated that she decided to raise money in this manner when the
lotteries she had organised lor the benefit of her charitable institutions failed,
and that the state of her finances contributed to the suicide of the well-known
French doctor, M. Leon Petit, who was secretary-general of the Association which
managed certain of the establishments involved.

SCIENCE

JOTTINGS.

T HE other day I
encountered a
friend of mine
whose lugu¬
brious expres¬
sion was to be explained, according to his own
account, by tin* fact that oysters were “out.” The
period sacred to the protection and multiplying of
the succulent bivalve began with May i, and will
last till the end of August. The popular way of
reminding oneself of the months when oysters are
not in season is to think of the months the names
of which do not contain the letter “ r.” Then the
oyster is taboo to the gourmet. Of course, you can
get oysters all the year round if you are disposed
to accept something else than the native. I see
oysters sold in the course of my peregrinations as
freely in July and August as in September or March;
but then these are American bivalves, Bluepoints,

East Rivers, Saddlerocks, and the like. Any sum¬
mer morning at Blackpool or Douglas you may see
the trippers as early as seven or eight o’clock
devouring oysters at the stalls and shops, by way
of laying a foundation —hors d'cevures , in fact —
for the breakfast to follow. The bigger the oyster
the better the bargain in such a case, and I have
gazed with interest at the magical facility with
which each Blackpudlian visitor lias disposed of a
dozen or more of molluscs whose sizes suggested
nothing short of small jellyfishes! The breeding of
the oyster and the care of the youthful molluscs by
man are topics not merely of scientific interest, but such
as include commercial features of enormous importance.

“ cilia,” which by their

] through the sea. Similar filaments line our own

bronchial tubes and doubtless assist the passage
of moisture from the lungs upwards towards the
mouth. The free and roving life of the juvenile
oyster soon terminates.

If it is lucky to escape its enemies, or the
hard future which otherwise may kill it, it will fix
itself and settle down to the work of growth. The
adult stage is attained in from five or six to seven
years. A high authority, referring to the enormous
output of eggs compared with the ultimate crop of
oysters returned, says that only one oyster may be
expected to survive to maturity out of five millions
produced. This seems a terrible indictment against
Nature’s ways and methods of propagation, yet it
is by no means singular. Many fishes produce
enormous numbeis of eggs with similar results. The
survival of the fittest is a very real thing here,
only it does seem somewhat hard on the children
of life that their earlier steps are encompassed by
so much hardship and by so many chances of ex¬
termination.

Oyster-lore is full of quaint and curious things,
and this remark holds true not only of the scien¬
tific phases of oyster-history, but of its more com¬
monplace and social features as well. The oyster - lover,
for example, has often debated very warmly the question

Each oyster of ordinary kind can produce fertilised eggs,
ready to develop under favourable conditions. It is curious
to note, however, that the Portuguese oysters
(those with contorted shells) and American
oysters are what naturalists call bisexual —
that is, the sexes are represented by different
individuals. Obviously, our own oyster en¬
joys a distinct advantage in that the spawn
can be more economically produced than
in the other case. The number of eggs
discharged into .the sea by the Portu¬
guese species must, and do, far exceed
in number those produced by the common
oyster, great as is the number represented
in the latter, for each oyster is estimated
to develop eggs to the tune of a million
or so.

This apparent prodigality reminds one
of another phase of nature’s work, in the
shape of the fertilisation of trees, such as
the pines, by the wind. Tons of yellow
pollen are blown through the air, and
are liable to be wasted, whereas when
insects fertilise plants they go straight
to the mark as it were, and accomplish
their labour as intermediaries with little
risk of failure.

sented even in the case of the common oy¬
ster, whereby self - fertilisation is prevented

of the best beverage wherewith to associate his molluscan
feast. We have all heard the advocates of different
liquors debate their predilections and sup¬
port their views by appeals to experience,
which, however, being of personal kind, can
go no further than the individual at best.
A medical journal once instituted labora¬
tory experiments with the view of settling
the question of the best beverage—best in
the sense of assisting digestion—wherewith
to accompany the feast. Liquors of all
kinds — from beer and stout to gin and
hock—were tested; but, marvellous to re¬
late, the digestion of the oyster was found to
be most quickly accomplished in pure water.
Of course, it may well and truly be urged
that experiments with test-tubes in a labora¬
tory are scarcely to be compared to diges¬
tion in the stomach. The conditions are
not quite similar, for in all vital actions
there are some things the laboratory can¬
not supply. Still, experiment serves to
point the way, and it might be worth
while for oyster - lovers to initiate a serie'
of experiments on themselves, and to note,
in the main, which beverage has most
claims to be regarded as the typical ac¬
companiment of a bivalve lunch. Some
there are, however, who will say that
an oyster digests itself, and needs no
bush, alcoholic or otherwise, to com •
mend it. Andrew Wilson.

THE SHIP THAT MIGHT HAVE SAVED THE CREW OF THE
SUNKEN “PLUVIOSE"i THE GERMAN NAVY'S VESSEL FOR RAISING
DAMAGED SUBMARINES.

Tbe German Navy alone possesses a vessel specially built for the raising of
sunken submarines to the surface. Had this craft been near the "Pluvtose" at
the time of the disaster, it is more than probable that the crew of the wrecked
vessel would have been saved.

and is submerged by the admission of water into the space
between the skins.”

An interesting account of some of the latest submarine
vessels of the United States Navy was given in a recent
number of the Scientific American, and the account of their
construction and mechanism gives a good idea as 10 the
methods of working such boats. These American boats can
cruise on the surface for long distances at a speed of 14 knots.
At lower speeds their radius of action extends to several thou¬
sand miles. When submerged, they can do 10 to 11 knots
for more than an hour, or for much longer at a lower speed.
At 5 knots they can run submerged for 150 miles.

The form of the hull is cigar-shaped, and is built of steel
of the very best quality and with the most perfect workman¬
ship, for every rivet and seam must be absolutely tight and
true. Moreover, the pressure of water when the vessel is
below the surface’is very great, and the hull must be strong
enough to resist it. The boat is submerged by opening cer¬
tain valves, which let the water of the sea into great tanks
built inside the vessel, and thus sink her. The "air in the
boat, when thus entirely cut off from the atmosphere, is enough
to support the crew comfortably for some twenty-four hours,
but there is also a large supply of compressed air in steel
flasks, w-hich, if used for breathing, would last several days.

The boat is propelled under water by powerful electric
motors, deriving their energy from storage batteries, which
also supply current for numerous auxiliary motors for steering,
pumping, working torpedoes, and other purposes. There are
two sets of rudders, vertical and horizontal.

The most important piece of mechanism on a submersible
or a submarine is the periscope. It is literally the eye of the

$reat Mystery of jSavdl Warfare: TBfje Submarine .

M ODERN submarine vessels of war are of two types,
submersibles and submarines, the main distinction
being that, as indicated by their names, the submersible
is a boat which can be submerged when • required, but
whose normal condition is on the surface ; while the
submarine is an under-water vessel, which only rises in
order to take in a stock of air. A submarine sinks
more quickly than a submersible, through the exhaustion
of all its buoyancy. Submersibles are sunk partly by
the admission of water into their ballast-tanks, and then
by the force of
propulsion, being
steered down¬
wards by diving-
rudders. If the en¬
gines are stopped
the boat rises
again. In sub¬
marines the mo¬
tive-power is elec¬
tricity, which is
stored in accumu¬
lators. Jn sub¬
mersibles there
are two distinct
motors—an elec¬
trical motor for
diving purposes,
and a gasoline
or steam engine
for propelling the
vessel on the sur¬
face. In war,
submarines would
operate near their
own coast, and
would be used to
protect harbours
against an invad¬
ing fleet; sub¬
mersibles, as
sea - going
vessels like
other tor-
pedo-
boats,
would

on the high seas and attack the enemy’s
ports. The French Navy has a number of
both kinds of under - water craft. The
Pluviose was a submersible, and was the
name-boat of a class of eighteen vessels of
her type. She was built on the Laubeuf
design, with a displacement of 398 tons, and a
maximum speed, above and below water, of
twelve and nine knots respectively.

In submersibles of the Laubeuf design, the sur¬
face-motor, says Mr. F. T. Jane in his*‘ Fighting-Ships,”
is a triple-expansion steam-engine, fired with heavy petro¬
leum. It has a flash-boiler and Fulmen accumulators.

SAFETY FOR THOSE SUNK IN SUBMARINES i THE AIR-
TRAP AND THE LIFE-SAVING HELMET.

To quote some of the details we gave when we reproduced this drawing
on a larger scale at the end of last year i " It is obviously necessary . . .
to provide some device that will catch and contain the air if the vessel
be holed high up j hence the provision of air-traps. The accident having
taken place, and the boat having sunk, air will be compressed either
under the deck of the vessel itself or under the air-traps. Beneath the
air-traps the men, having put on their special diving-helmets, sit,
with their heads in the compressed air, until it is their turn to escape."

THE LIFE-SAVING HELMET USED IN THE NAVY FOR THE
CREWS OF SUBMARINES.

A shows the helmet window ; B the valve used to open and close tbe
buoyancy-chamber, D j C, the tube leading from the mouth 1c the
buoyancy-chamber and used to inflate that chamber ; K the position of
the mouthpiece inside the helmet by means of which tbe buoyancy-
chamber is inflated. It should be said that the dress not only prevents
the suffocation of the wearer, but acts as a life-buoy when the buoyancy-
chamber is inflated.

It “ can nominally do seventy miles submerged, at five
knots, but cannot really keep under so long. The
boat is built like a torpedo-boat with a double skin,

boat, for without it the commander, when navigating
below the surface, can see nothing outside the vessel,
there being no windows or ports. The periscope consists
of a vertical tube extending from within the boat to a few
feet above the water when she is just beneath the surface.
At the rop of the tube is an object-glass, and at the
bottom an eye-piece, the image seen being transferred
from one to the other by two reflecting mirrors, one at
each end. Formerly a revolving periscope was used,
which could be turned so as to sweep the whole horizon,
but a British in¬
ventor has now
devised one which
provides a circular
panoramic view in
all directions at
once. This is most
valuable, as dis¬
asters have oc¬
curred to sub¬
marines through
vessels coming up
behind and run¬
ning them down.

Even now the
danger of such
collisions is very
great. Since the
boat must be
capable of diving
beneath a vessel
on the surface,
the length of the
periscope cannot
be extended in¬
definitely. There¬
fore she must re¬
main for the most
part only just be-
:ath the surface.

The torpedoes, which are the submarine
vessel’s weapons of offence, are discharged
through tubes in the bows. As she can approach
unseen within a few yards of a battle-ship, long-
range torpedoes are not necessary, and the weight
thus saved in motive power can be added to in¬
crease the destructive force of the projectile. It is
this which makes the submarine such a formidable foe.

LOOKING FOR DANGER: USING THE PERISCOPE ABOARD A SUBMERGED SUBMARINE. AND SO NOTING THE APPROACH

OF VESSELS ON THE SURFACE.

To Quote a writer in the “Scientific American” whose remarks are particularly apropos in view of the disaster to the “ Pluviose.** and the statement that those aboard the ** Pas-de-Calais **

could not be expected to see the top of the periscope of the ill-fated craft above the water—“ Vision under water is limited to but a few yards at best, and hence a submarine boat, when

submerged, would be as blind as a ship in a dense fog . . . were it not for a device known as a periscope, that reaches upwards and projects out of the water, enabling the steersman to view
his surroundings from the surface. . . . When operating just under the surface, where it can see without being seen, the craft is in far greater danger of collision than vessels on the surface,
because it must depend upon its own alertness and agility to keep out of the way of other boats. The latter can hardly be expected to notice the inconspicuous periscope tube projecting from
the water in time to turn their great bulks out of the danger course. . . . the man at the wheel is able to see under normal conditions only that which lies immediately before the boat It is
true that he can turn the periscope about so as to look in other directions, but this, of course, involves considerable inconvenience. On at least two occasions has a submarine-boat been run
down by a vessel coming up behind it.** As may be seen from the Illustration, the image received on the lens above the water is caught on a mirror and reflected by that on to the mirror

facing the lens of the eye-piece. Recently, a persiscope that enables the steersman to see all round has been invented.

Around me I behold,

The mighty minds of old,

no longer arrayed on bookshelves, but piled in
disorderly heaps of books upon the floors, tiny
Elzevirs mixed up with “ elephant folios.” My

of a little girl whose essay on Joan of Arc
I have just been reading. “ She caused
George VII. to be crowned at Rheims,” says
the fair historian. Another says that Queen
Elizabeth would not allow Queen Mary to go to
Scotland from France through England, so “she
was obliged to go by boat.” Aeroplanes not

Mrs. Sherwood “ is now either totally for¬

their most striking characteristics ” before they
can be put in the hands of the young.

Fairchild family were glorious. Once the little
fiends got drunk ; they were always falling into
the pig-sty. Once they were taken to see a
gibbet on which a man was hung in chains,
by way of a moral lesson.

Mrs. Sherwood was full of her fun, and
when she arrived at less severe religious views
she “ made no alteration, in this sense, in her
books already published.” No wonder; had she
once begun to alter “ The Fairchild Family ”
she must have ruined it.

She was the Kipling of the period, writing
novels about the Aimy in India. One of her
books was about Nautch gills and young
officers. Whether or not the young subaltern
converted the Nautch girl I have never been
able to discover. The book is not easily to bo
found. But Mrs. Sherwood much admired the
graces of the dancers.

The reviewer complains that she docs not
speak of Sir Walter Scott “with familiarity and
affection.” She did not know him, but crossing
the Channel with him on his way home to die,
she lent him the only pen on board ship. The
ruling passion was strong on him even then ; he
wanted to write.

Mrs. Sherwood was a thoroughly good woman,
it is acknowledged, and had an abundance of
humour not remarkable among the gifts of fair
novelists now practising.

In accordance with the vow made in 1634. when it was agreed that the “Passion-Tragedy" should be performed every ten years in recognition of the cessation
of the plague that devastated Oberammergau and its neighbourhood, the people of the world-famous Passion-village of Bavaria are now producing their Passion Play.

It must not be thought that 1634 marked the introduction of the Passion Play into Oberammergau. There, and elsewhere, such performances had taken place from
time to time, from the Middle Ages. It was the regular decennial repetition that was agreed upon after the Plague. It may be said that the work is produced

with all reverence, aa a religious ceremony, not as a show. Visitors, indeed, are tolerated rather than invited; though everything is done to make them comfortable.
Christianity was introduced into Ammergau during the 7th and 8th centuries. The villagers are chiefly engaged in carving and similar work. The Passion Play
was last rewritten by Father A. Daisenberger. who based his work as far as possible on the old text, and finished it in 1860. Rochus Dedler. a schoolmaster of
the village, wrote the music. About 700 people take part in the production, all natives of Cbcrammergau. Each performance is preceded by 1 'ass; applause is forbidden.

THE MOST FAMOUS OF ALL PASSION PLAYS: THREE SCENES

FROM THE OBERAMMERGAU PASSION PLAY.

1. THE FAREWELL OF CHRIST TO THE VIRGIN MARY. 2. THE KISS OF JUDAS.

3 JUDAS IS PERSUADED TO BETRAY CHRIST FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER.

To quote Bruckmann's excellent guide to Oberammergau : "The dramatic activity of the villagers is never. . . . entirely discontinued, for even in the intervening years they are kept well in
practice by the performance of religious plays or national pieces. As the Passion Year approaches the matter is taken in hand more seriously The first thing to settle is the important question
of the assignment of the pans. For this purpose a committee is summoned consisting of tweqjy-four men of Oberammergiu. who fill up the single pirts by ballot. Should one of the member,
of the committee be nominated, he has to go out of the room until his case has been settled. The object of this strictness is to avoid any future grievances. When the parts have been assigned
the reeding - rehearsals begin. Then follows the studying of the parts, and finally the stage-rehearsal. . . . Breaking rules ia punished by high fines or possibly exclusion from the play.*’

MUSIC

r R. BEECHAM, in the course of four evenings last
eek, produced three operas that are new, or
\JJ comparatively new, to London, an achievement that
£ speaks well for the management of his enterprise at
(, His Majesty’s Theatre. “ Shamus O’Brien” is not
f a novelty; it was produced successfully in London
fourteen years ago, and was given in Germany a few
seasons back, with recitatives instead of spoken dialogue.
When “Shamus O’Brien” first pleased an English audi¬
ence, Mme. Kirkby Lunn, whose reputation was still in the
making, took the part of the wife,
and Dennis O’Sullivan the title-r 61 e,
while the character of Mike Murphy
was entrusted to Joseph O’Mara,
the only representative of the origi¬
nal cast to appear last week. The
opera shows Sir Charles Stanford in
his brightest mood, and it is need¬
less to point out at this time of day
how completely his music reflects
his country’s genius. In spite of a
rather old-fashioned libretto, and
many situations that avail them¬
selves of the most stupid traditions
of the stage, there is always an
undertone of sincerity to add to the
attraction of music that is at once
mdodious and finely written. Mr
Joseph O’Mara won the success of
the evening: his Mike Murphy is a
remarkable creation, for not only was
the music finely sung, but the act¬
ing could not have been bettered.

It would be worth an evening at His
Majesty’s to hear Mr. O’Mara sing
“Ochone, when 1 used to be young,”
if the opera held no other attrac¬
tions. Miss Edith Evans as Nora,
and Mr. Archdeacon as Shamus,
distinguished themselves, but Mr.

O'Mara was the hero of the hour.

Edmond Missa’s “Muguette” is
the setting of a rather slender ver¬
sion of “Ouida’s” familiar novel,

“Two Little Wooden Shoes.” The
story is of the kind that novel-readers
of a past decade would call “sweetly
pretty,” and the music is quite in
keeping with it. “ Ouida ” wrote
delightful stories, but her heroes and
heroines belong to a race apart :
you would probably look in vain
for them in the heavens above, or
on the earth beneath, or in the
waters under the earth. Edmond
Missa entered into the spirit of the

story: his music seems, at first hearing, to be as
charming, attractive, and unreal as the libretto.

A suave and gentle melody is the ever-present accom¬
paniment to a story that is inclined to drag from time to

falls in love with the little flower-seller in Antwerp’s
market square, might have stepped from Ouida’s
pages, and no jot of the charm of the girl he loves
was lacking from Miss Ruth Vincent’s presentation

of the character. For all that Muguette is so unreal,

Miss Vincent seemed to give her life. The part of
Klotz is finely taken by Mr Harry Dearth, who, if
he could give as much variety to his gestures as
to his singing, would soon be a very valuable
recruit to the operatic stage. There is nothing
very original about the music, which makes up in
sweetness for what it lacks in strength ; but “ Mu- ^
guette ” stands high above the modern musical coniedv.
Mr. Beecham conducted the work with care and sympathy.

In these days, when Paris is brought close to London, there
mud be thousands of music-lovers who need no introduction to
Massenet’s “ Werther.” produced on
Friday of last week at His Majesty’s.
The story, as told on the stage, has
little more than a nominal associa¬
tion with Goethe, but the “Sorrows
of Young Werther” was one of the
poet’s earliest efforts, and is dated
some years before the French Revo¬
lution. If the book is a study in
sentimentality, the music is a study
in “ linked sweetness long drawn
out”; and we must remember, too,
that nearly twenty years have passed
since Massenet composed the score.
For those who admire Massenet at
his sweetest, who love sensuous
melody and take it quite seriously.
“Werther” must needs prove a
perennial attraction. Mr. Beecham
lias mounted the opera with his usual
care, and M. van Hoose, when he
was quite in tune, and not too stiff
and laboured in action, did well with
the name - part. That fine artist
Lewys James was at his best in the
part of Albert ; Miss Zelie de Lussan
made an admirable Charlotte; and
Mr. Beecham showed that he can
do justice to Massenet as well as
Richard Strauss.

Covent Garden has had a busy
week of revivals, so attractive that
despite the gloom that is still settled
over London, the house has been sold
out night after night. Tetrazzini in
“La Sormambula” has given a re¬
newed and much - to - be - regretted
lease of life to the late and unlamented
Bellini; Mme. Destinn’s “Aida” and
“Butterfly” seem to have gained
in strength and beauty, if that be
possible; Signor Zerola and M.
Martin have found a host of new
admirers; and now Melba has re¬
turned to make some of her patrons
regret that they cannot pay her
the compliment of wearing their tiaras in her honour.

Concerts of great worth and beauty have been
plentiful, but space forbids reference to them this week.

by Courtesy 0/the Publisher, Mr. T. Fisher Unwin.

The handsomely illustrated account of the
“Tramps in Dark Mongolia” of John Hedley
(T. Fisher Unwin) appeals at an opportune
moment, when the air is full of rumours of the
imminent awakening of China. We have had a
number of Chinese Commissions visiting our shores, there
is at present a permanent settlement of Chinese students
in our midst, and everywhere there are signs that the
vast Asiatic Empire which has been in the enjoyment for
several thousands of years of a civilisation all its own,
is at last discovering that the old policy of exclusive¬
ness and self - containment is no longer possible. The
world is fast becoming one great brotherhood, and in¬
dividual nations can no more keep themselves isolated
and apart. In the teaching of that great modern lesson
to the unwilling ears of a nation who, in their self-satis¬
faction, allowed their progress and expansion to be ar¬
rested for centuries, the missionaries of Great Britain have
borne a part, perhaps inadequately appreciated to-day, to
which history will give a prominent, possibly the leading,
place. Those who want to understand what our mission¬
ary work in China means, and obtain some idea of the
selflessness, humility, and true heroism of our noble
pioneers of Christianity and European civilisation in that
country, cannot do better than read the admirable book

the superficial life of the unhappy official exiles V
from Paris, and makes us understand and conjure up
before us the domesticity and the quaint manners and
customs of the ingenuous Annamese, she is wholly
sincere and graphic. The illustrations — reproductions
of photographs taken by herself — throw an interesting
sidelight ' on her vivid descriptions. Altogether, we
have rarely come across a book the perusal of which
has afforded us so much pleasure.

* The Fourth Earl of

Vice - Admiral Charles Philip
Yorke, fourth Earl of Hard¬

and died in 1873, enjoyed a long and brilliant caieer
in the service of his country — a career that suffered
towards its close on account of regrettable misunder¬
standings and the opposition of men in high places.
His daughter, Lady Biddulph of Ledbury, naturally
anxious to make clear the true history of her father’s
life, has written an interesting Memoir, recently pub¬

before us. Free from all sanctimonious
cant or hypocrisy, it breathes a spirit of
simple and unostentatious devotion. As
a description of life in China, of paths
untrodden by the ubiquitous globe-trotter,
of men and cities in that most fascinat¬
ing empire, it is a model of what such
work should be. The style is clear and
easy, never stilted; the author has the
gift of presenting without apparent effort
vivid pen - pictures of what lie sees.
He is never prosy or didactic, but a
thoroughly human and transparently
honest companion and guide. The
illustrations are exactly what the illus¬
trations to such a book should be,
a perusal of which will help us to
understand a little better the Chinese
people and do justice to the quiet
and unconscious nobility of the latter-
day apostles of the Christian faith.

letter - writer, Lady Biddulph’s book
is largely made up of his correspond¬
ence, which is fresh, vigorous, and
full of high spirits. Lord Hardwicke
knew Byron and visited Lady Hester
Stanhope in her Syrian retreat, dined
with Bernadotte at Christiania, met
the Tsar Nicholas at Peterhof and
accompanied him to England, met the
King of Prussia in several German
cities, received Queen Victoria and the
Prince Consort at Wimpole, and was
the personal friend of Lord Beacons-
field. He was Postmaster - General
and Lord Privy Seal in Lord Derby’s
first and second Cabinets, so that his
time was as full in the latter days

years at sea. When Genoa rebelled
after Victor Emmanuel had signed
the Treaty of Peace on March 26.

H.M.S. Vengeance , acted as mediator
between the King’s army and the
insurgents, and by dint of courage
and diplomacy saved Genoa from de¬
struction; but his actions seem to have
been misrepresented by his detractors.
The correspondence published by Lady

plishment beyond the reach of criticism.

ART NOTES.

T HE British pictures at the Japan-British Exhibition
include an admirable representation of the older
masters, and a mixed multitude of recent works. But
the essence of the Fine Art Palace is contained in the
section of ancient Eastern paintings. Of these I have
no catalogue, as they do not
figure in the guide-book prof¬
fered at the entrance. They
seem, also, to escape the atten¬
tion of the public. One ex¬
pected, at least, to find Pro¬
fessor Holmes camping in tjieir
midst ; but he and his fellow-
enthusiasts having taken a
momentary respite from the
high - pitched excitement of
studying things the like of
which have never before been
seen in England, the galleries
were empty. All the “ hang¬
ing-pictures M 'are of splendid
quality, and the earlier among
them are especially notable for
the serenity that characterised
the mother-art of China — the
serenity that is all the more
serene because each figure of
Buddha and each placid flower
sits or grows in triumph over
an inferno of dragons and devils.

The artist who can most fully
conceive the spirit of peace
must necessarily be learned in
the horrors of strife. It is the
man who dwells among cow¬
slips und> r a blue sky and sees
hell opened out beneath who
knows best its depth and dark¬
ness. The Japanese artist of
antiquity was always a vision¬
ary ; even his powers as a
colourist were tinged by his
awful familiarity with the world
of spectre shapes and actions.

The decoration by a painter of
the thirteenth century of the
Tokatsu Hell and the Four
Distresses of Humanity is a rev¬
elation of human terror and in¬
human colours and creatures.

Here, indeed, are the hell-fires that scorch the conscience,
and here is the scenery of such dreams as escort the
sleeper ten leagues beyond the end of the friendly world
into a terrifying region of new atmospheres, alien per¬
spective, and unheard-of tumults. Wholly refreshing, on
the other hand, are the screens, notably those lent by
Baron Koyata Ivvasaki and the Tokyo Fine Art School.

appreciation, goes by the board. Mr. David Murray,
R.A., was his opponent in the bidding for several of tlie
most characteristic of the oil - sketches ; but Lord
Blyth, who was, it will be remembered, Orchardson’s
last sitter, made some of the acutest captures on

the last day. In “ Cottage Fronts,” for which lie
paid eight guineas and a half, and “The Widow,”

costing eleven, he owns two
works extraordinarily full of the
suggestion, at least, of Orchard-
son’s genius. It is doubtful
whether such studies are not
equal in ultimate importance to
finished works in which the
suggestion is replaced by per¬
fection of completion. The
Orchardson sale, like all others,
was as interesting for the lots
that made small prices as for
those that made large ones; but
as only the latter are reported,
it may be further mentioned

wont to overturn ; the swords,
the breeches, the waistcoats
worn by his young men ;
Napoleon’s hat and cape—in

been lifted out of Orchardson’s canvases and had grown
somewhat'shabby in the process, were offered to the

you must retain a band of skilled musicians,
a matter of prohibitive cost, or you can get an
Aeolian Orchestrelle. This unique instrument is
the equivalent in tonal qualities of all the instru¬

play, just as an orchestra would play for you, all
the orchestral music ever composed. You do not
require any technical knowledge of music to play
the Aeolian Orchestrelle. Your musical taste and
insight are all that is necessary to a finished perform¬

Haydn, etc., etc. And you will derive more
pleasure from the Aeolian Orchestrelle than you
would from conducting an orchestra. The music
you actually play yourself must be the greatest of
all musical delights. You colour the music with
the tonal qualities of any and all the instruments
you care to ; the rendering is your personal achieve¬

THE CHARM OF THE COUNTRY HOME.

T HE great thing to be aimed at in the arrangement of
a country house is that sense of refined comfort which
is suggested by the word “ home.” It can never be re¬
peated too often that fine furniture alone will not make a
home. It is possible to have a house treated in correct
styles, with everything in accord, and yet for it to miss
the indefinable quality of the home. This home note is
just the note which those eminent decorators. Waring and
Gillow, never fail to convey. They are not content with
exact reproductions of period furniture and decoration ; they
aim at that sane compromise between the designs of the
antique and the requirements of the modern age which
spells the word comfort.

It would be impossible to say in what comfort consists;
but, whatever be the secret, Waring’s possess it. Their
country-house treatments are all that can be desired in
style, colour, taste, and harmony ; but they are something
more. Their rooms are not simply artistic—they are restful.

They are not decorated simply to be looked at, but to be
lived in. Nolhing more essential could be aimed at in a
country home. There, above all places, the warm glow of
comfort is indispensable. It is expressed in a scote of
little things—in the ornaments, the bric-a-brac, the deft
touches of the designer, the novelties for convenience, the
opportunities for taking one’s ease pleasantly, the countless
details all tending to a satisfying end.

These things, quite as much as others that have been
enumerated in previous articles in these pages, are Waring’s
metier. The same firm that deals effectively and ex¬
peditiously with such utilitarian questions as building,
sanitation, electric-lighting, heating, etc.—which puts in a
new bath, or lays out a garden, or erects a garage—takes
up with equal skill and completeness the olher side of the
business—the decorative and the comfortable side. Taste
thus goes, in the case of Waring’s, hand in hand with
the more mechanical operations of their business. A range of this enormous
character is only possible in the case of a great, comprehensive business, in
which brains, experience, and craftsmanship are co-ordinated in a scientific
organisation.

One reason why Waring’s are able to deal so thoroughly with every
point of country-house work is the knowledge which they have acquired
in carrying out contracts for palaces and fine residences in all parts of the
civilised world. A firm that has decorated and furnished, and in some cases
built or reconstructed, mansions and country houses
in Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Worcestershire, Warwick¬
shire, and many other counties, and noble town houses
in many capitals of Europe, is in a unique position for
dealing with the country house from every point of view.

Such an experience covers everything. It ensures perfect
artistic knowledge of styles, the highest artistic taste,
economy of production, soundness of work, and rapidity
of execution. And to these must always be added the
dernier mot. Comfort.

Expedition is an important factor. Delays in all
country - house operations mean additional expense.

Dawdling workmen run up a bill of incidental costs,
which the owner must pay over and above the amount of
the estimate—costs incurred through being kept out of his
house beyond the stipulated time. It is always the aim of
Waring's so to arrange the work of the different trades
that one will naturally and immediately follow upon, or
run concurrently with, another. Quite recently they have
made important structural alterations in large country
houses, erecting colonnades, putting in bath-rooms, in¬
stalling electric-light, laying out terraces, etc., and pro¬
viding heating apparatus and hot and cold water supply
throughout. With a less complete organisation of factories
and departmental workmen the work would have lasted
four times as long as it did. Every owner of a country
house who contemplates alterations will realise at once
the value of this promptitude and dispatch. It means
convenience and it means money.

Allusion has so often been made to the value of the
Gillow influence in Waring and Gillow’s business that
it is only necessary to emphasise it once more in the
briefest manner. One must always remember that Gillow’s

was a live and flourishing business when George III. came to the throne.
Now, a hundred and fifty years later, it is still a live and flourishing business.
This implies a continuity of purpose, a sequence of business methods, the
handing down not only of great traditions, but of great principles. The
Gillow influence dominate;, the business of to-day, and is available in every
country - house scheme that the firm undertakes. Combined with Waring’s
commercial enterprise and modern methods, it transforms the ordinaiy country
house into a picture full of artistic charm and delight.

LADIES’ PAGE.

\\ 7 HILE the Divorce Commission is sitting, we hear
Vv so much of the failure of married life that it
is encouraging to have attention called to the opposite
point of the compass. This has been most charmingly
done by Sir James Whitehead, Lord Mayor of London
in 1889, who has presented £3000 for a scholarship to
the school at which he was himself educated, in com¬
memoration, as he states, of his golden wedding, and
“as a thanksgiving for a most happy married life ”
Again, there occur such wills as that of the late Lord
Tweedmouth, who disposed of a fortune of ^205,000 in
the space of eighty-eight words, this conciseness being
attained by leaving everything he possessed absolutely
to his wife, and making her sole executrix, and to his
son only in case of his lady predeceasing him—which
actually happened. This is the most magnificent dis¬
play of trust that can be given to his wife by any
man. From any other point of view I think it can
very seldom be advisable to throw such a tremendous
burden of responsibility upon a woman in her widow¬
hood, especially if she have children, to whom she
must either give or refuse the fortune that their father
has left absolutely at the mother’s disposal.

Wealth is, doubtless, a touchstone to the character
of a man, and it may be because, in the nature of
the case, I have known a number of rich women
and their actions so much more inthnately and truly
that it appears to me that we are so much less able
than men to stand the test. It seems so embittering,
so hardening, so deleterious, to the average woman’s
character to possess uncontrolled great riches! Some
exceptional women, of course, can stand the tremen¬
dous test; but to most it seems fatal to character,
ossifying to the heart, and, like a sort of dry rot,
turning all within the soul to selfishness, tyrannical
cruelty, and strange narrow meanness. Some women
meet it nobly, however; Baroness Burdett-Coutts was
a brilliant example here, and in America there
are numerous instances. Mrs. Russell Sage, the
widow of the multi - millionaire who left her sole
owner of a great fortune, has consecrated her life to
using the money to the best advantage ; she has just
offered to give ^200,000 to the City of New York to
purchase laud bordering the river Hudson for a huge
public park, and to provide therein playgrounds for
children, with paddling and bathing ponds, refreshment
stalls at which they can buy sterilised milk at cost price,
and other benefits. Mrs. Thomas Ryan, who has been
made a Countess of the Holy Roman Empire in recog¬
nition by the Pope of her goodness, keeps a staff of clerks
to attend to the details of her systematic and well-
considered charities, which amount to many thousands
a year. And yet it certainly remains the fact that if
life be indeed a probation, the books of which are
balanced for eternity at the end, most women would do
well to pray with Agag, “Give me neither poverty nor

riches.” Moreover, in this world alone, selfishness and
heartlessness do not lead to happiness ; as a rule, they
punish themselves.

We are so often told of the mischievous consequences
of over-eating that the other side of the question as a
scientific one is in some danger of being overlooked.
Many well-to-do people probably do eat too much, but
systematic under-eating also is quite prevalent amongst
women, especially lonely ones, to whom “ something on
a tray ” commends itself as quick ; or vain ones, who
dread stoutness above everything; or poor ones, who do
not wish to spend on food money that they can find more
desirable uses for, such as buying new hats, gloves, and
the like supreme necessaries. Let these learn a lesson
from the native wrestlers who are performing at the
Japanese Exhibition. They are extraordinarily bigger
than are the average men of their race, and are
remarkably strong. Their system is not the well-
known Ju-jitsu, which is more a matter of skill
than of force ; the big wrestlers now here challenge the
world on their strength and size as well as skill. Arid
why are they so much larger and more powerful than the
average of their race ? Simply because (hear this, ye
starving brigade !) they eat enormously, including much
meat. They take so much nourishment, indeed, that
they have to be elaborately massaged to prevent their
laying on fat instead of muscle, whereas the ordinary
Japanese diet is light and almost exclusively vegetarian.
Lafcadio Hearn, a European who became naturalised in
Japan, taught in the University, and married a Japanese
wife, says that he tried to live like the people, and did
so exclusively for one year, but with the result that he
broke down in health, and that he found his pupils
suffering from a diet inadequate to the strain of high-
school work. The moral needs no seeking. Let the
idle eat less, if they will, but let us supply liberally the
needful fuel for exertion to the active members of our
families, not forgetting our valuable selves!

Though black gives the impression of being sombre
in masses, and of being hot and uncomfortable to wear
in detail, it is nevertheless becoming to a great many
women, who have, perhaps, seldom allowed themselves
the opportunity of seeing themselves attired exclusively
in black until national feeling required the change.
Curiously, however, black has been very fashionable for
the whole of this year, and Englishwomen’s fair com¬
plexions and hair (for even when dark as we count it the
hair is still seldom more than brown), have been favour¬
ably seen in this guise. Black and white spotted
muslin is also pretty for fair women. Grey linen is
being much run upon for morning wear, and in medium
shades is extremely cool and clean-looking and pleasing ;
revers and cuffs of black satin or moir6 are optional addi¬
tions. Eor evening wear, gorgeous jet embroideries have
appeared, and give brightness very effectively. The con¬
siderate royal order shortening the period of half-mourning,
so that it terminates on the last day of June, will, how¬
ever, allow the usual bright and light summer gowns
to be purchased for the “ dog-days.” Filomkna.

Mr. Capes’ own manner, though not, alas!
in his best. It has his peculiar blend of
occult thrills and violence, albeit therq is
too little spontaneity about them, and too
much mechanical, though ingenious, com¬
position. The Professor (who did it) is
a mere lay-figure, a lifeless thing dressed
in the dressing-gown and grey hairs of
his type, whose posturing fails to rouse
a spark of enthusiasm, so plainly is it a
mere matter of wooden joints and wire¬
pulling. Festus le Touzel and his friend
Roger Mandrake are better stuff. They
belong to the extravagant riot of the
story—are born of it, so to speak, instead
of being gummed together for its pur¬
poses. The story itself is a hotch-potch.
The Philosopher's Stone is a big, bright
idea to bring into a plot; but it wants
more space, more background, a more de¬
liberate approach to it than Mr. Bernard
Capes has provided here. The attempted
murder at the warehouse is another brainy
notion, botched in the carrying out. In
short, the book is a scamped piece of work,
and not all the talent of its author can dis¬
guise the woeful fact. Let us catalogue it
as a railway novel, and leave it at that.

Vernon Lee’s work deserves
grateful recognition. Her eclecticism
makes a peculiar appeal to people who
are weary of half - baked theories, and
who find too many of them being adver¬

sophy, patient, even a little tentative,
cognisant qf the pitfalls of sensitive youth,
acts like a healing balm. The conver¬

suited to its purpose. Humanity has
reached the stage of being violently
dissatisfied with the universe ; and it
behaves rather like the fractious child
who beats the stone it falls upon. Such
conduct may be ridiculous, but this does
not make it less indicative of exacerbated
nerves, with all the misery implied in
their possession. The author’s discourse—
interleaved, as it is, with her observa¬
tion of the pageant of Nature—is all for
serenity, for help towards the discovery
of the secret of spiritual peace and
maturity. She defies Wcltschmcrz ; but
reasonably, without heat, avoiding the
vulgar excess of emphasis, arguing the
vanity of “the fever and the fret,” and
the essential peace of the selfless life, in
the quiet atmosphere of a country walk

Twins are confusing, tiresome things; but
they do not deceive the eye of affection,
much less the ear of affection, for any

since the plot fails to please, we are truly
grateful. It is so satisfactory as a land¬

M. de Lesseps on his Calais-Dover flight,
for instance, was fitted with Continental
Aeroplane Fabric, and M. B16riot’s
machine on the occasion of the first
Channel flight was similarly fitted.

Both business people and holiday¬
makers will welcome the opening of the
new shortest route between London and
Birmingham, vi4 the Bicester Hunt
Country, for passenger traffic. The Great
Western Company are already forwarding
a large number of goods trains over the
line, thereby easing the mass of traffic
by the old route, and in July the com¬
pany will begin to carry passengers over
the new line. It will render accessible a
delightful part of Oxfordshire at present
barely known, and it will also give nearer
access to Shakespeare’s Country.

THE PLAYHOUSES.

“JUDGE NOT—" AT THE QUEEN’S.

A CURIOUSLY contrasted programme is that which
Mr. H. B. Irving offers at the Queen’s just now.
It consists of two plays, both adapted from the French,
one of them our old friend “ Robert Macaire,” that bur¬
lesque drama of roguery, the other a very serious and
modern play of M. Henriot’s, turning, like “La Robe
Rouge,’’ on the defects of the French judicial system.
The first act of “Judge Not—” (originally “ L’Enqufite”)
shows us art examining magistrate using his powers of
preliminary investigation to try to fasten round a
prisoner circumstantial evidence which will convict him
of murder. The President of the Courts has been
mysteriously killed, and on the dead man’s body were
found letters implying an intrigue between him and
the prisoner’s wife. The husband knew nothing of such
a connection, but the magistrate so plays on his
jealousy as to make him admit that he had had
quarrels with his wife and had, after one of these
passages, flung himself out of doors just at the time,
and close to the scene of the murder. But gradually an
admission of the magistrate that he was in the deceased

an average of 20 4-5 knots per hour, and this speed

she occupied 5 days 22 hours 41 min.—a record for the

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

T N the matter of carburetters and carburation, the careful
and intelligent are being made to suffer for the careless
and ignorant. The modern tendency of the engine-builder is
to adopt an average carburetter, without moving parts, to
each type of engine, and to remain satisfied with average
results, rather than to tune each engine up to its very top
notch by means of an adjustable carburetter. In illustration
of this tendency I have in mind a leading firm of motor-car
makers, who produced a carburetter with a vacuum-damper-
controlled automatic air-valve, which could be adjusted to
the exact needs of each particular engine. When once
adjusted, it was highly desirable that no alteration should
be made, and that the vacuum-damper should be kept clean,

Tyre security - bolts,
which are geherally re¬
garded as necessary safe¬
guards, are a burden and
a nuisance from first to
last. At present the poor
things are left bare and un¬
protected, exposed to rain
and mud, and necessarily

For a test of all-round efficiency, the monthly trials of
the Royal Automobile Club are highly satisfactory, and
may be taken as the best evidence by the purchasing
public. On the nth ult., a 25 (R.A.C. rating) h.p. six-
cylinder Napier car, carrying a standard side-entrance
touring body, was put through the regular routine with
excellent results. The total weight of the car as it took

erally known as a 30-h.p. six-cylinder Napier. The road
distance of 105} miles, which includes the ascent of both
Reigate and Westerham Hills, was covered without a stop
on a petrol-consumption of 19 952, practically 20, miles per
gallon ; a remarkable performance. In the track test
i6£ miles was run on gallons at a speed of 52-9 miles
per hour. In the acceleration test, on the level, a speed
of 30 miles per hour was reached in 10*65. seconds, or
99*5 yards, being an average acceleration over 135*69
yards of 4*914 feet per second. The speed up the test
hill, from a standing start, was 14*270 miles per hour.

Mother and the King respectively, to the nation, which
Messrs. Raphael Tuck and Sons have been commanded
to publish. In each case the entire proceeds of the sale
are to go to an institution which Queen Alexandra
and King George will select. Both letters are to he
issued in two styles of reproduction, one in photo¬
type at a shilling and the other in photogravure
at a guinea, while a limited number of proof-etchings

As a memento of King Edward’s interest in sport,
many will be interested in a picture entitled “ King
Edward’s Derby, 1909,” which has been specially

painted for Messrs. Bovril, Ltd., by W. Hatherell, R.I.
It shows his late Majesty’s horse, Minoru, leading in the

At the annual meeting of the “ Sanitas ” Company,
attention was directed to the growing sales of “ Sanitas ”
fluids and powders, and to a recent report issued by the
Lancet staling that “ Sanitas-Bactox ” was “the best and
cheapest ” of all the homogeneous coal-tar disinfectants
which were examined, and that “ Sanitas-Okol ” took
first place amongst ready-made emulsion disinfectants.
The dividend and bonus declared, with the interim
dividend already paid, make a total of yh per cent, for
the year, and £2000 was placed to reserve. The Com¬
pany has initiated a profit-sharing system, in which all
the employees participate.

Among the most interesting features of the British
section at the Brussels Kxlvibition is the exhibit of
the East Coast Railways, which also occupies the
largest ground space. The electrically controlled

model railway from
King’s Cross to Edin¬
burgh was an object
of much interest to
their Majesties the
King of the Bel¬
gians and the King
of Bulgaria, who
spent about fifteen
minutes examiningthe
model, and also the
contour map of Eng¬
land and Scotland,
which is said to
be the largest of its
kind in the world.
Their Majesties, be¬
fore leaving the Exhi¬
bition, expressed their
delight, the King of
Bulgaria stating his
opinion that there
were no finer cars in
Europe than the East

Coast sleeping-cars. pensive they have made of late.

DISFIGURING ERUPTIONS.

Faces maned by unsightly eruptions have
embittered many a life and prevented social
and business success in countless cases.
What fortunes are wasted and what desperate
means are tried in order to effect a cure, none
but sufferers from such afflictions can
imagine, though the discouragement that
conies when failure follows failure may
j readily be believed. But a|l this is needless.

| In the vast majority of cases a prompt and
permanent cure can he effected by the
simplest and most economical means. That
such a result will attend the use of Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment is attested by
thousands of cures, effected all over the
civilised world, and covering a period of over
thirty years. Full directions for the treat¬
ment of skin and scalp troubles, from infancy
to age, accompany each package of Cuticura

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, June II, 1910.- 900

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

I HAVE just picked up a little book that is not
only brightly and suggestively written, but is
somewhat unique, in this sense — that it enunciates
the modern and advanced view of Woman in such
language as a sane person can stand. It is written
by Miss Florence Farr, is called “Modern Woman;
her Intentions,” and is published by Mr. Frank Palmer.
This style of book I confess to commonly finding
foolish and vain. The New Woman's monologue
wearies, not because it is unwomanly, but because
it is inhuman. It exhibits the most exhausting of
combinations : the union of fanaticism of speech with
frigidity of soul—the things that made
Robespierre seem a monster. The
worst example I remember was one
trumpeted in a Review : a lady doc¬
tor, who has ever afterwards haunted
me as a sort of nightmare of spiritual
imbecility. I forget her exact words,
but they were to the effect that sex
and motherhood should be treated
neither with ribaldry nor reverence : “ It
is too serious a subject for ribaldry,
and I myself cannot understand rever¬
ence towards anything that is phy¬
sical.” There, in a few words, is the
whole twisted and tortured priggish¬
ness which poisons the present age.

The person who cannot laugh at sex
ought to be kicked; and the person
who cannot reverence pain ought to
be killed. Until that lady doctor gets
a little ribaldry and a little reverence
into her soul, she has no right to
have any opinion at all about the affairs
of humanity. I remember there was
another lady, trumpeted in the same
Review, a French lady who broke off
her engagement with the excellent gen¬
tleman to whom she was attached on
the ground that affection interrupted
the flow of her thoughts. It was a
thin sort of flow in any case, to
judge by the samples; and no doubt
it was easily interrupted.

The author of “Modern Woman”
is bitten a little by the mad dog of
modernity, the habit of dwelling dis-
proportionally on the abnormal and the
diseased ; but she writes rationally and
humorously, like a human being; she
sees that there are two sides to the
case ; and she even puts in a fruitful
suggestion that, with its subconscious¬
ness and its virtues of the vegetable,
the new psychology may turn up on
the side of the old womanhood. One
may say indeed that in such a book
as this our amateur philosophising of
to - day is seen at its fairest; and
even at its fairest it exhibits certain
qualities of bewilderment and dis¬
proportion which are somewhat curious
to note.

dance, etc., it is guessed that he has indiscreetly
tested the vintages round him; then indeed we
may properly say that there has arisen a problem ;
for upon the one hand, it is awkward to keep
the wedding waiting, while, upon the other, any
hasty opening of the door might mean an epis¬
copal rush and scenes of the most unforeseen
description.

An incident like this (which must constantly happen
in our gay and varied social life) is a true pro¬
blem because there are in it incompatible advantages.

I think the oddest thing about the
advanced people is that, while they
are always talking of things as problems, they have,
hardly any notion of what a real problem is. A real
problem only occurs when there are admittedly dis¬
advantages in all courses that can be pursued. If
it is discovered just before a fashionable wedding that
the Bishop is locked up in the coal-cellar, that is
not a problem. It is obvious to anyone but an ex¬
treme anti-clerical or practical joker that the Bishop
must be let out of the coal-cellar. But suppose the
Bishop has been locked up in the wine-cellar, and
from the obscure noises, sounds as of song and

THE STATESMAN MOST CLOSELY AFFECTED BY MR. ROOSEVELT'S CRITICISM OF OUR EGYPTIAN
POLICYi SIR ELDON GORST, K.C.B., BRITISH AGENT AND CONSUL-GENERAL IN EGYPT.

Sir Eldon *Gorst, who is the son of Sir John Gorst, succeeded Lord Cromer as British Agent and Consul-
General in Egypt in May 1907. He has had a long experience of Egypt. He first went to Cairo as an Attach^
in 1886, and became successively a Secretary of Legation, Adviser to the Ministry of the Interior (1894), and
Financial Adviser (1898). Some have suggested that Sir Eldon Gorst has not been sufficiently firm in dealing
with the Egyptian Nationalist Press and the leaders of the Nationalist Party, who, as he said in his last official
report, "are morally responsible for the murder of Boutros Pasha.” It will be remembered that Mr. Roosevelt
said i "Where the effort made by your officials to help the Egyptians towards self-government is taken
advantage of by them ... to try to bring murderous chaos upon the land, then it becomes the primary duty
of whoever is responsible for the government in Egypt to establish order.”

good of it. Now', I will take two instances from Miss
Farr’s own book of problems that are really problems,
and which she entirely misses because she will not
admit that they are problematical.

The writer asks the substantial question squarely
enough : “ Is indissoluble marriage good for man¬

kind?” and she answers it squarely enough : “ For
the great mass of mankind, yes.” To those like
myself, who move in the old - world dream of
Democracy, that admission ends the whole ques¬
tion. There may be exceptional people who would
be happier without Civil Govern¬
ment ; sensitive souls who really feel
unwell when they see a policeman.
But we have surely the right to im¬
pose the State on everybody if it
suits nearly everybody; and if so.
we have the right to impose the
Family on everybody if it suits nearly
everybody. But the queer and cogent
point is this: that Miss Farr does
not see the real difficulty about allow¬
ing exceptions—the real difficulty that
has made most legislators reluctant
to allow them. I do not say there
should be no exceptions, but I do
say that the author has not seen the
painful problem of permitting any.

The difficulty is simply thia :
that if it comes to claiming excep¬
tional treatment, the very people who
will claim it will be those who least
deserve it. The people who are quite
convinced they are superior are the
very inferior people; the men who
really think themselves extraordinary
are the most ordinary rotters on
earth. If you say, “ Nobody must
steal the Crown of England,” then
probably it will not be stolen
After that, probably the next best
thing would be to say, “ Anybody
may steal the Crown of England,’'
for then the Crown might find iis
way to some honest and modest fel¬
low. But if you say, “ Those who
feel themselves to have Wild and
Wondrous Souls, and they only, may
steal the Crown of England,” then
you may be sure there will be :i
rush for it of all the rag, tag, and
bobtail of the universe, all the quack
doctors, all the sham artists, all the
demireps and drunken egotists, all the
nationless adventurers and criminal
monomaniacs of the world.

Now if woman is simply the domestic slave that
many of these writers represent, if man has bound
her by brute force, if he has simply knocked her
down and sat on her- then there is no problem about
the matter. She has been locked in the kitchen, like
the Bishop in the coal-cellar; and they both of them
ought to be let out. If there is any problem of sex,
it must be because the case is not so simple as that;
because there is something to be said for the man as
well as for the woman ; and because there are evils in
unlocking the kitchen door, in addition to the obvious

So, if you say that marriage is
for common people, but divorce for
free and noble spirits, all the weak
and selfish people will dash for the
divorce; while the few free and noble
spirits you wish to help will very
probably (because they are free and
noble) go on wrestling with the mar¬
riage. For it is one of the maiks
of real dignity of character not to wish to separate
oneself from the honour and tragedy of the whole
tribe. All men are ordinary men ; the extraordinary
men are those who know it.

There is another equally curious case oi uncon¬
sciousness of the true crux and contradiction in this
ethical difficulty ; but if I deal with it, it must
be on another occasion. I must make my articles
fit into a page, as these sages must try to make
then systems fit into a world.

THE “SPECKLED BAND" ON ITS ERRAND OF DEATH:

SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S NEW PLAY AT THE ADELPHI.

Dr. Watson (Mr. Cltude King). Sherlock Holmes (Mr. H. A. Saintsbury). Enid Stonor (Miss Christine Silver).

DR. GRIMSDY RYLOTT’S SNAKE CRAWLS DOWN THE BELL - PULL IN ENID STONOR'S BED-ROOM. AND IS DRIVEN BACK

INTO THE NEXT ROOM BY SHERLOCK HOLMES.

“The Speckled Band." one of the most eerie and one of the best known of the fimoui "Sherlock Holmes'* series of stories, has provided its author with an excellent basis for a drama bearing
the same name. It will be recalled that Dr. Grimsby Rylott seeks to kill Enid Stonor. and for the purpose employs a snake, the Speckled Band of the title. Enid is alone in her bed-room,
fearing that death is about to come to her. when, of a sudden, there is a tapping at the window, and Sherlock Holmes enters, with the inevitable Dr. Watson in attendance. Then, by way
of a ventilator, the snake wriggles into the room and begins to glide down the bell-pull. In a moment. Holmes has sprung at it. and slashed it with his cane. It disappears. There is a cry
of agony from the next room, and Rylott dashes into Enid's room with the speckled death about him. a victim of his own misdeeds.

Notes. a coincidence, which
brought Mr. W. J. Bryan as a visitor to this country at the
same time as Mr. Roosevelt, whom he opposed in 1900 as a
candidate for the presidency of the United States. Mr. Bryan
spoke last week in the Mechanics’ Institute at Bradford on
the value of ideals, and expressed the opinion that the con¬
science of the world was growing more sensitive to wrong.
Mr. Bryan was born at Salem, Illinois, in i860, and was a
lawyer before he became a politician. He is now editor and
proprietor of an American paper called the Commoner.

Among the honours bestowed on the occasion of the King’s
birthday, those given to native Indian Princes will doubtless
be highly appreciated. The dignity of Honorary Aide-de-
Camp to his Majesty was conferred on the Maharajas of
Gwalior, Idar, Kuch Behar, and Bikaner, also on the Nawab
of Rampur, and on Honorary Colonel Sir Muhammad Aslam
Khan. Of the three whose portraits we give, the Maharaja
of Gwalior, his Highness Sir Madho Rao Scindia, Bahadur,
is an honorary Major-General, as also is the Maharaja of
Idar, his Highness Sir Pratap Singh, Bahadur, while the
Maharaja of Bikaner, his Highness Sir Ganga Singh,
Bahadur, who was previously
an honorary Lieutenant - Col¬
onel, has now been granted
the honorary rank of Colonel.

Gwalior is the largest of the
Central India States, having
an area of over 29,000 square
miles. The city of Gwalior is
famous for its great fortress,
which rises to a height of
342 feet sheer from the plain.

From 1858 to 1885 it was
occupied by a British garrison.

Gwalior is also noted as an
ancient seat of Jain worship.

Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell,
the first woman to become a
fu'ly qualified medical practi¬
tioner, and the first woman
whose name was placed on the
British Medical Register, was
born at Bristol in 1821, and
in 1832 emigrated to America.

In 1847 she entered the Medi¬
cal School of the University of
Geneva, in the State of New
York. After taking her de¬
gree, an event which made considerable stir, she came to
England and studied at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, where
she received kindly encouragement from M.. (now
Sir James) Paget. She also made friends with Miss
Florence Nightingale. She next studied in Paris, and
in 1851 began to practise in New York. It was dur¬
ing a second visit to England, in 1858-59, that her
name was placed on tin? British Medical Register.

In the American Civil War she organised the nurs¬
ing of wounded soldiers, and out of this work grew
ihe Ladies’ Sanitary Aid Association. After found¬
ing a Medical
School for Wo¬
men in New
York she re¬
turned to her
native land, and
helped to found
the London
School of Medi¬
cine for Wo¬
men, in which
she held for a
time the Chair

Chelsea, who died last week at the age
of seven after an operation for appendi¬

estates in the district from which he took his
name. It was only last April that his mother,

Lambton. The little Viscount

was a grandson of Earl Cadogan, who from 1895 to 1902 was
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Since Earl Cadogan succeeded to
the Peerage there have been four holders of the title Viscount
Chelsea. The first, the Earl’s eldest son, died, aged twelve,
in 1878: his second son (father of the late Viscount) died
in 1907, aged forty. The new Viscount Chelsea is Earl
Cadogan’s third son, the Hon. Gerald Oakley Cadogan, who,
like his four brothers, is unmarried. He was formerly a
Lieutenant in the 1st Life Guards, and, later, a Captain in
the 3rd Battalion Suffolk Regiment. He served in the South
African War in 1900.

Many romances of the Peerage are more or less mythical,
but that recalled by the Macdonald Bosville case, which con¬
cluded last Saturday at Edinburgh, is all true. Mr. A. VV.
Macdonald Bosville, of Thorpe Hall, Bridlington, has thus
won the action which he brought to establish the legitimacy
of his grandfather (a son of the third Lord Macdonald of the
Isles), and to obtain for himself any rights which might there¬
by be his. Among them is a Nova Scotia baronetcy. The
question as to the legitimacy of Mr. Bosville’s grandfather
arose through the parents of
the latter having made a run¬
away marriage. The couple
in question were the Hon.
Godfrey Macdonald (after-
wards third Lord Macdonald)
and Miss Louisa Maria La
Coast. On doubts being
raised as to the validity of
the marriage, after the birth
of Mr. Bosville’s grandfather,
they were married again at
Norwich in 1803.

of St. John’s College, Cam¬

Senior Bursar of his college
from 1883 to 1898, when he
^ „ was elected Master, he man¬

aged its financial affairs with
conspicuous success, and his
geniality and freedom from
affectation have made him
universally popular. Mr. Scott
was born at Leith in 1846, and,
before going up to Cambridge, was educated at Flynn School,
Edinburgh, and at Stuttgart. He was fourth Wrangler in
the Mathematical Tripos of 1875. From 1877-79
he was an assistant-master at Christ’s Hospital.

Sir William Butler, who died on Tuesday, was
one of the brilliant roll of soldiers whom Ireland
has given to the service of the Empire. He was
born in County Tipperary in 1838, and was edu¬
cated at the Jesuit College at Tullabeg, and later
in Dublin. He entered the 69th Regiment at the
age of twenty. He served in many parts of the
world and saw
much active
service,in which
he greatly dis¬
tinguished him¬
self. After four
years in the
East, he went,
in 1870. with the

1873 and 1874
saw him in

the following

THE GREAT SPANISH SPORT INTRODUCED INTO TURKEY* THE FIRST BULL - FIGHT

The first bull-fight in Constantinople took place the other day, and it would seem by our photograph that

granted to enable regular bull-lights to be introduced into the Turkish metropolis. As is evident, these were vain.

in-Chief to the Cape, and, when Sir Alfred
(now Lord) Milner came to England to dis¬
cuss Hie situation wiih Mr. Chamberlain,
became Acting High Commissioner. He
sympathised with the Boers, and was re¬
called before the war broke out. Among
his books are “ The Great Lone Land,”
“ The Campaign of the Cataracts,” and his
lives of Gordon, Napier, and Sir George
Pomeroy Colley. In 1877 I12 married Miss
Elizabeth Thompson, who has won fame with
her great series of battle-pictures. Lady
Butler is a sister of Mrs. Meynell.

Although long connected with politics,
the late Sir William Brampton Gurdon did
not enter Parliament till 1899, when he was
elected for North Norfolk. As quite a young
man in the Treasury he became one of the
private secretaries to Mr. Gladstone, a posi¬
tion he held till 1874. He served on special
missions to South Africa before and after
Majuba. He came of an old East Anglian
family (a Brampton Guidon led the Suffolk
Horse at the battle of Naseby), and he farmed
on a large scale in Suffolk. He was on the
Suffolk County Council for many years, and in
1907 became Lord Lieutenant of the county.

single act. Within that medium her studies
of the Irish peasantry, and their childish
trick of romancing—studies made by a
kindly observer from outside, rather than
by an artist who can penetrate into their
lives with sympathetic imagination—seem
natural, though slightly farcical, because
she is able to conceal the contrivances of
her art. But when she writes on the larger
scale of a full - sized comedy, the artifice
betrays itself, and we rather see where we
are expected to laugh, than laugh without
premeditation. The author seems to have
been afraid that she has not accomplished
her purpose in “The Image,” for she prints
on the programme a note explaining her
ideas, which would be unnecessary if she
had succeeded as a playwright, and cannot

to give her ideas expression. Though Lady
Gregory tells us she is satirising the ideals
of various Irish types, and has placed a
“ heart-secret ” into the keeping of each of
her dramatis personae, it is as difficult to see
what she is driving at as to discover what
are the particular secrets, save that she
is obviously smiling at the peasant’s in¬
veterate weakness for make-believe. And
the fun of her idea is exhausted long before

acts. Still, the players, with their dry wit,
are all diverting.

“Glass Houses” This is an adapta-
, , tion, prepared by

at the Globe. Mr.Kenneth Barnes,
of M. Hervieu’s “ Connais-Toi,” and here
we have reappearing the problem - play,
though in a somewhat varied form. A
General’s son has got into an entanglement
with a married woman, and the father, who
is a purist in matrimonial ethics, is furious
with the boy’s idea of standing by the lady
in case of divorce proceedings, and marry¬
ing her as soon as she is free. See how
circumstances alter opinion and conduct—
that seems M. Hervieu’s motif. The General
no sooner discovers his own wife being
kissed—rather against her will—by a lover,
than, after the first explosion of wrath and
jealousy, he changes his key. His bluster
drops from him, and when she proposes to
leave him—ah! then he can look on his
son’s flirtation with different eyes. It is an
ingenious play, full of strong yet natural
scenes of emotion and bright comedy pass¬
ages; and Mr. Bourchier, with just the
rather heavy martinet style required for the
General, Miss Violet Vanbrugh, with a
sensibility and pathos agreeably free from
hysteria as the wife, Mr. Herbert Sleath
and Mr. Norman Trevor, both fervent as the
lovers, and Miss Muriel Beaumont, with
those tricks of frivolity and waywardness she
can so well assume—all contribute acting
that is admirably sincere. But one cannot
help feeling that the ending is a sacrifice to
convention, and is very far from convincing,
notwithstanding the comedy tone of the play.

given by the King into the charge of those men who drew it at the funeral of King Edward, and their
officers. At the same time, the officers were decorated, and the men received Royal Victorian medals.
Later, the gun-carriage was drawn through the streets to Victoria.

THE TURBULENT SEA THE AIRMAN CONQUERS; AND THE SAFETY OF FLYING HIGH.

Aerial navigation is teaching us much about that mysterious and invisible sea of air at the bottom of which we crawl. Now men are rising into the higher levels with grand daring; and
on their fragile ships of the air they are encountering those currents, maelstroms, whirlpools, cataracts, up-draughts, eddies, and manifold turbulences which make the exploration of this new
world so dangerous and fascinating. Every mountain, hill, tree, building, sheet of water—every change in the contour of the earth's surface, indeed—has its effects on the lower aerial currents.
But. as he aspires higher, there arc more regular belts moving in various directions at high speed, and giving the daring airman many opportunities of finding a more suitable course. High flight
will also be safe flight, for. as the machine plunges from a lofty altitude, a gliding action is set up, which makes the ultimate path to earth a gentle one. On the other hand, the aeroplane
which plunges downwards sharply when near the earth has not space in which to develop the gliding effect, and it crashes through thin air to earth with disastrous force. Most aeroplane

accidents have occurred when the machines were at low altitudes.

SCIENCE
JOTTINGS.

EDUCATION AND SCIENCE.

R ECENTLY a state¬
ment was published
in a daily journal re¬
counting the experiences
of a merchant-employer
desirous of engaging a
couple of boys to begin
the career of clerks in
his office. He proceeded
to test a number of the
candidates, who had just
finished their school¬
days, in respect of their
ability to write properly, to spell correctly, and to work the
ordinary arithmetical rules represented chiefly by examples
calculating the cost of a number of articles of different weights
and at different prices. The results of this simple examin¬
ation of the abilities of the finished products of our modern
educational system were, to say the least, astounding. Not
one of the boys could spell correctly—that is, continuously
tested ; the writing of the majority was execrable ; and of the
arithmetical talents the less said the better. A simple sum
of the cost of so much material at the rate of so much per
ton or hundredweight, was not solved at all. Perhaps the
lads are still wrestling with this very intricate problem. In
•k former days people used to

V smile at the boys of Eton, Har-

f row, Rugby, and elsewhere,
because it was asserted that,
while their classical knowledge
might be ample, their ability to
\ write and spell their mother-
' \ tongue was in many cases doubt¬

ful. It would seem that the
I reproach is not confined to-day
I to the offspring of the higher
classes, but is just as typical of
the children of the masses. The
merchant’s experience just de¬
tailed is by no means unique.
Far from it indeed; for business
friends of mine have over and
over again deplored in my hear¬
ing not only the lack of know¬
ledge on the part of youths
entering on a business career,
but the want of interest they
exhibit in what is supposed to
be the leading concern of their
lives, and the ways and means
by which they intend to gain
their livelihood. There is deep
interest exhibited in sport. They
are familiar with all the notorieties who captain and engineer
football, and on the cricket-scores they could easily pass a
stiff and searching examination. Their elders are often like
them, if we substitute for football and cricket the chronicles
of the Turf. Their hearts are not in their work, but set on
that widespread interest which receives the general name of
“ sport” ; and so the work of life is neglected, and some of
us dare to wonder why the foreigner has crept up to us in his
development of trade and has often excelled us in the
ingenuity of his inventions. I do not maintain that defects
in our educational system are to blame for all this decadence,

curricula ? Suppose the argument be used that we cannot tell
what the boy is going to become, and that we must perforce
fit him mentally as completely as we can — an excellent
argument, if the thing were possible of accomplishment. In
plain language, is it not waste of time to attempt to teach
a future plumber Greek and Latin, when he cannot calculate
a roof-space or know how much zinc or lead will be needed
to cover it?

write in this terrene sphere. One i
“ Drawing the Line,” the other is
tory of Quakerism.” As to drawing
the line, it is a theme full of the
filmiest nuances. You may do this,
and you may do that; though, to the
abstract moralist, one of the two things
seems no better, and no worse, than
the other. There are regions in the
Highlands where you may go to
church in a boat, but if you try to go
anywhere else in a boat, or to go
to nowhere in particular in a boat,
you are stoned by the Calvinistic
population.

Again, in Southern England, you
may fish for coarse fish, such as
roach and dace, on Sundays, no man
making you afraid; but there is no
end of a row in the parish if you
fish for trout. The line is drawn at
trout. And why? Personally, as a
good Presbyterian, I would not fish
on Sunday at all, but, if I did, trout
do not seem to me more unholy than
dace. Grayling are just on the line ;

1 think them vermin, and open to the
Sunday fisher, but some casuists draw
the line at grayling.

Again, in some houses you may
play at croquet on Sunday, but you
may not practise
putting at holes on
the lawn—at, least,
if you do, you must
use a wooden putter,
not a putting-cteak.

You may play snob-
cricket with a lawn-

must not play at
lawn - tennis. Can
distinctions be more
delicate and, in ori¬
gin, more obscure ?

so mysterious and so interesting to

original documents.

Chance brought me to-day to take
up Mr. Atlay’s book on “ Famous
Trials.” One of them tells the stoiy
(1857) of a young lady accused of
poisoning her lover, who certainly
died of a large dose of arsenic. I
remember the affair, which occurred
when I was a smail boy at school.
On March 28, or April 5—I think,
April 5 — 1 was walking in a street
with another small boy, and saw a
newspaper placard, “Young Lady
Charged with the Murder of her
Lover at Glasgow.” I said to my

friend, “ Perhaps that is Tom --‘s

sister ! ” Why I said it is not
easily explained, as I knew nothing

about -’s sister, except that he

had a sister, or sisters. Yet the
absurd suggestion was correct — a
remarkable coincidence.

before him, and his men wore the device on their armour. Alter his victory he became a Christian, and bts mother, the Empress Helena, journeyed to Jerusalem
and found the true Cross by the aid of one Judas. When Chosroes, King of Persia, sacked Jerusalem, he carried off a piece of the Cross. The Emperor Heraclius
fought a single combat with the son of Chosroes, and cut off the head of Chosroes himself. He then went in triumph with the relic to Jerusalem, but the gates
were miraculously closed against him, and an angel rebuked him for coming in pomp where Christ had made His entry humbly riding on an ass.

Mr. Frank Isltt has long; been a great
friend of the famous dancer, who to-day

from the stage. He is himself a solicitor
by profession.

T HE present Fair Women Exhibi¬
tion at the Grafton Galleries is
in some ways the most interesting,
though not the fairest, of the series.
If only for the five portraits by Mr.
Sargent, and the instruction we re¬
ceive from them of the pranks Time
plays with criticism, the collection is
worth seeing. Sargent, who so long stood accused of violence and garishness, is the
painter among all others at the Grafton Galleries who has dignity, calm, and reserve.
The beautiful portrait of Lady Hamilton is a haven of rest for the eye beside the
furious vulgarity of Signor Boldini’s pigment; and here is the “ Mrs. hangman ” that
is remembered among all Mr. Sargent’s
Academy portraits for the sensitive
pauses of its action, the nervous still¬
ness of the hands and the eyes, and the
exquisite composure of the colour. Of
Mr. Sargent’s portraits of women, this
is perhaps the most complete in dis¬
tinction and sympathy of style. The
same painter’s “ Almina,” lent by Mr.

Asher Wertheimer, has not been seen
before. It is another contribution to
the portraiture of a family that is be¬
coming wonderfully eminent in paint.

In this exhibition alone Signor Mancini,

M. Bifldini, and Mr. Sargent are found
engaged in its service.

There is talk, and more than a pro¬
bability, of Courbet’s “La Belle Io ”
being secured for the nation. The
“ Fair Women ” catalogue gave the
hint when it noted that Courbet “ is
unrepresented in the National or Tate
Galleries.” It is a fine head, as mas¬
sively ill-drawn as an early Rossetti,
and has a poetry of feeling and a harsh¬
ness of modelling that should not. be¬
long by rights to the work of a preacher
of the narrow gospel of paint for paint’s
sake; nevertheless, it is a typical ex¬
ample of the artist, and since a begin¬
ning must be made in the fuller repre¬
sentation of Frenchmen of the nine¬
teenth century in the public galleries of
England, it may be as well that an in¬
fluential body of expert opinion is back¬
ing its claims. Even now, with a Corot priced at thirteen thousand guineas,
there is a wide field for the purchase of French pictures of the nineteenth century.
The habit of purchase is what must be encouraged. Let the nation break the
ice with Courbet, and it may chance that we will some day possess Monets
and a Monticelli. But before all the blanks on the foreign walls of our collections
we should consider the glaring absurdity of the lack of an important work by
Whistler. The hope that some adequate example would be bequeathed the
nation has been the excuse ; but while the Ionides, the Salting, and the Wallace
collections provide Corots and the like, we still hold up a little river scene in
blue at the Tate Gallery as the solitary memorial of his fame.

Very interesting is the collection of Mr. Will Rothenstein’s work at the Goupil
Gallery. Here are the famous lithographs of Oxford’s and the world’s celebrities,
and here are the paintings that have established Mr. Rothenstein as one of
the leading painters of the younger school. At the Goupil Gallery his work
assumes its rightful place in the history of contemporary painting. E. M.

MR. H. B. IRVING AS MACAIRE, AND MR. TOM REYNOLDS AS JACQUES S1 ROP,
IN “ROBERT MACAIRE,’’ AT THE QUEENS THEATRE.

A BRIEF lull in the storm of
first-nights at Covent Garden
and His Majesty’s has availed to
direct attention to some delightful
concerts. London is full of great
singers and players just now, and
many recitals of the less ambi¬
tious kind have revealed fresh talent. *-

The presence in London of Herr Nikisch has been responsible for some remaili¬
able concerts with programmes in which the name of Wagner has figured very promi¬
nently. At Miss Susan Strong’s recital, given with the aid of the London Symphony

Orchestra under Nikisch, Wagner’s
music reigned supreme, the singer be¬
ing heard to advantage in both familiar
and unfamiliar pieces. Nikisch seems
to get the last ounce of effect out of a
score by Wagner, and if there is any¬
thing to be urged against the splendid
dignity of his interpretation it is that he
is inclined at times to drag the tempi,
in order that nothing may be lost. But
if he lingers over the “linked sweetness
long drawn out,” the audience lingers
with him very gladly. The Gerhardt-
Nikisch recitals at Bechstein’s have
produced the usual effect; singer ami
accompanist seem to have the most
perfect understanding, both of the
songs and of each other, that may be
witnessed in a concert-hall to-day. Too
late for notice here, a further recital will
be given at the Queen's Hall, at prices
that will enable the house to be crowded
by the admirers of a singer whose gifts
have seldom been equalled.

Another interesting concert was
given recently at the Queen’s Hall by
the London Symphony Orchestra, this
time under the direciion of an English¬
man, Mr. Albert Coates, who directs
the Court Orchestra at Mannheim. He
has studied under Nikisch and Von
Schuch, and was recently appoint&d
to direct the Imperial Court Theatre
Orchestra at St. Petersburg, his birth¬
place. • Mr. Coates made a favourable
impression, and gave the first performance in England to the Second Symphony
of Maximilian Stemburg, a living Russian composer of eminence.

Nikisch conducted the second symphony of Mr. A. von Ahn Carse last week at
the last regular concert of the London Symphony Orchestra. This notable work
was heard at Newcastle last year, and should help to give some of the great
classical symphonies a well-earned rest. It rejoices in personality and inspiration.

Mr. Henry J. Wood, who has accepted the invitation to conduct the Birming¬
ham Musical festival, has celebrated the centenary of Schumann’s biitli with the
aid of Miss Fanny Davies, the Queen’s Hall Orchestra, and a special Festival
Choir. On June u Nikisch will give his hist concert of the year as far as London
is concerned. Schelling will be the soloist, and the programme will be devoted
to Wagner and Tchaikovsky. On Saturday next the Melba Conceit will be
given at the Albert Hall. The New Symphony Orchestra and Backhaus will be
associated with the prima donna, who has already proved at Covent Garden that
the quality of her great gift has not suffered during her long absence from England.

Born, of Bostonian and Philadelphian parents, in Florence in 1856. and educated in Germany and Italy. Mr. Sargent was nineteen when he entered Carolus Duran's studio in the
Boulevard de Montparnasse. Paris. Opinions differ as to the date at which he excelled his master. For most of us, he seems always to have been a master: his earliest work making no
•how of hesitation or incompetence. From Paris he went to Spain and Velasquez; and Mr. Henry James, who as a writer of stories makes men do as he wills, has pictured the young
painter kneeling before the Prado masterpieces. A few years later, when he came to London for good. Mr. Sargent had already travelled many countries, and could express himself with
perfect ease in four languages, as well as on the p ; ano and in paint. Bond Street became acquain’ed with him in 1882. when “El Ja!cso"—a picture vibrating with the dance and
twanging with the noise of the guitars-and two portraits were exhibited. Since then the commissions from which he has now taken a respite have poured in-—-In the background

is prohibited by the Church, should be remembered.

PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC SINCE THE DEATH OF PRESIDENT QUINTANA: DR. JOSE FIGUEROA ALCORTA.

Dr. Alcorta. who became President of the Argentine Republic on the death of President Quintana in March of 1906, was Vice-President at that time, and will remain President until October.
Hia term will have had as one of its chief features the elaborate celebrations in connection with the Centenary of Argentine Independence, which began last month, and are to be continued,
in the form of an International Exhibition and so on, until November. It need hardly be pointed out that this country's interest in the Argentine Republic is very great, for it hat an
enormous amount of capital sunk in it, to the benefit both of itself and of the Argentine. It may be said that the executive power is vested in the President, who is elected for six years by
representatives of the fourteen provinces. The President is Commander-in-Chief of the troops, appoints to all civil, military, and judicial offices, and has the right of presentation to bishoprics.
He must be a Roman Catholic and Argentine by birth, and cannot be re-elected. The same stipulation applies to the office of Vice-President.

THE WORLD’S CUP OF HEALTH

In every country and every clime, the supremacy of c

Sanatogen among tonic foods and reconstituent -remedies
is now as abundantly recognised and as warmly eulogised
as it is in Great Britain. ^

It exercises its powerful influence over all disorders of
the nervous system which manifest themselves in such depressing
symptoms as Insomnia, nervous dyspepsia, Anaemia, loss of Memory,
uncontrollable lassitude and disinclination for mental and physical
activity, and in Neurasthenia.

With its use, the dispiriting symptoms rapidly disappear, and
the patient regains his normal outlook on existence, taking a keen
interest in his work and play, and feeling better than at any
previous time.

Mr. Hall Caine, the celebrated
Novelist and Dramatist, writes: —

Dr. Ferchmin, Physician to the
Czar of Russia, writes: — “ My
daughter, who was very nervous and
anaemic, has been greatly benefited
by the prolonged use of Sanatogen.
Her appetite improved, her weight
increased, and the colour of her skin
became healthier.”

“ My experience of Sanatogen

Sanatogen has been endorsed by over twelve thousand physicians,

THIEVES IN THE NIGHT: MEN ABOUT TO POUNCE ON A SENTRY BEFORE ROBBING THE CAMP. DURING MANCEUVRES

The incident depicted is of somewhat frequent occurrence during manoeuvres in certain parts of Holland. So soon as the troops have assembled on the ground and have pitched their tents,
most unwelcome camp - followers leave their caravans and prepare for manoeuvres of their own. stealing from the camp at night. The thieves approach the tents as stealthily as possible,
under the shadow of the hedges; await their opportunity to slip through the line of sentries unobserved, and then steal any portable articles of value that may be within their reach—
cooking-tins, tools, blankets, horse-furniture, and so on. Their efforts are too often crowned with success, despite the fact that the sentries are doubled in number at night- Occasionally a
sentry is stunned by the thieves- It need scarcely be said that the raids are made on dark and stormy nights.

CAMPAIGNS IN EUROPE SINCE 1792.

'INHERE aie lew general readers who cannot manage
1 to extract some entertainment from any work on
war—the most picturesque and dramatic of all sub¬
jects; but we take it that one of the driest military
books ever written is the compilation by General von
Horsetzky, of the Austrian army, entitled “ A Short
History of the Chief Campaigns in Europe since 1792 ”
(Murray). As now translated by Lieutenant K B.
Ferguson, R.G.A., the work may be described as the

of space devoted to each is quite exiguous. Waterloo
is disposed of in less than two pages, while forty are
devoted to Koniggratz — the author’s own ground—
and one and a half to Sedan. “At 4 p.m.” he
says, “the whole (French) force, massed together
under the converging fire of the German guns in the
woods to the north of the town, was compelled to sur¬
render, 80,000 in number.” But the capitulation and
surrender did not take place till next day—2nd Septem¬
ber ; while the number of those who surrendered was
not 8o,ooo, but 83.000, apart from 24,000 who had either

Wellington’s systematic retreats in i 8 og, and 1810, were
a virtual admission of complete defeat — for the time
being, at any rate—and the same can almost be said
of the autumn campaign in 1812.” We wonder whether
General Horsetzky ever heard the story told of Moltke
when once compared by one of his admirers to
Alexander, Caesar, Frederick, Marlborough, and Turenne.
“ No,’’ said the great strategist, “ I have no right to
be named in the same breath with such great com¬

occur, such as the statement that Bonaparte, at Water¬
loo, “dictated at 11 a m. his orders for the attack which
was to begin at 1 p.m.” ; but it began at least two
hours before that. General Horsetzky’s criticism of
Wellington in the Peninsula, too, has at least the
merit of daring originality : “ In spite of the lack of
unity in their command, and of King Joseph’s doubt¬
ful authority, the French completely drove the British

rtuines. It is within a few miles by rail of Yarmouth and Lowestoft,

most necessary, operation in war. “ The author,” says
his accomplished translator, writing before King
Edward's death, “ is sometimes very hard on our
country and countrymen, but that is an old prejudice
which our gracious Sovereign ... is gradually beating
out, and which we trust he will, in the course of the
next few years, see practically extinct.” Since King
Edwaid’s luneral, where so many foreign regiments were
represented, that prejudice is probably rarer than ever.

An Evening’s Recreation with the PIANOLA Piano

Good music never palls. The Pianola Piano is alwavs a source of real enjoyment, because it means good music—music which you and
your friends actually produce for yourselves. If you own a Pianola Piano you can entertain any number of people. Everyone is anxious
to play the Pianola Piano as soon as they realise how simple it is to give an artistic rendering of any composition that may be selected.
To many people it comes as the greatest of surprises to hear someone whom they had previously regarded as being completely incapable of
giving any sort of musical performance playing an intricate composition in a way that could not be taken exception to. And thev are even
more surprised when they get to the Pianola Piano themselves and find how easy it is to play even the most difficult music. Performances
of equal musical merit cannot, of course, be expected from anyone who is playing any player-piano but the Pianola Piano. Every other piano

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

I T has taken no less than ten years for the lawyers to
discover a flaw—or, shall 1 say, the real intent ?—
of a section of the Motor Act with regard to the endorse¬
ment of licenses. A motorist was lately summoned and, of
course, fined, for the extinction of his back lamp, where¬
upon the Clerk of the Court demanded his license
in order that this heinous
offence might be endorsed
upon it. Oil the advice of
his solicitor, the motorist re¬
fused production for this pur¬
pose, and, aching for their
pound of flesh, the police
issued another summons to
oblige him to do so. Upon
the case being heard before
a police - magistrate, the
solicitor for the defence sug¬
gested that the clause in the
Act bearing upon the matter
referred to endorsements only
in connection with offences
concerning the driving of a
motor-car, and urged that
the accidental extinction of
a lamp which the driver
could not see could not come
within such meaning. Re¬
sult, dismissal of the sum¬
mons. I fear that this
decision does not altogether
establish this reading of the
clause, but it is at least a
point gained that way.

Good tuition in any craft
requires not only a good
tutor, but good tools and
apparatus. Now, in nothing
so much does this obtain
as in acquiring the art of
conningand]driving a modern
motor-car, and that they are
aware of this fact the Royal
Automobile Club Motor House
Committee have given proof
by the purchase of a 15-h.p.

Silent Knight Daimler for the
use of their tuition department. This car has, however,
had to be built to special order by the great Coventry
film, for, in addition to the standard fittings and equip¬
ment, it boasts an extra set of clutch and brake-
pedals, and also a special decclerator - pedal, in order
that the instructor may retain full control over the car,
behave the novice never so foolishly. The car lias

proved admirably adapted to its purpose, and before
the year is out many hundreds of motorists-to-be wi \\
have made their trial spins and earned their R.A.C.
certificate on the “flexible fifteen.”

The car-owner who still fears to relinquish the use of
those irritating fittings, tyre safety-bolts, will assuredly
extend a warm welcome to the newly introduced Dunlop

A BRITISH-MADE MOTOR FOR AIRMEN * THE 30-H.P. WOLSELEY AERO ENGINE.

This engine has been entered by the Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., of Birmingham, for the Alexander Competition for aeroplane
engines, the object of which is to test their reliability. The weight of the engine is 205 lb. complete with magneto, water-pipes on engine,
and exhaust • pipe, but no fly-wheel. It can be run for long periods at “full load” without pre-ignition. It Is made throughout of the
finest materials and is tested for three hours at “full load” before leaving the works.

bolt-protector. Now that I have seen one, the only
marvel is why the tyre people have not produced some¬
thing of the kind years ago. Up till now, the stalk of the
security-bolt has been left projecting, naked and ashamed,
for an inch or two through the wooden felloe, with the
result that the threads rusted up, the wing nuts rusted
on, and deadly damp penetrated through the orifice in the

rim, to the detriment of the tread and the destruction of
the tyre fabric. Also, at times of repainting the light¬
hearted coach painter p**ver dreams of removing the
security-bolts before painting, so that when next it
becomes necessary to remove the tyre, the slackening of
the wing bolts and the raising of the bolts produces a
condition of mind akin to madness. But now comes the
ever-helpful Dunlop Company with the aforesaid Dunlop
Bolt - Protector, which takes
the form of a closed - ended
gun - metal tube, with wing
nut, metal washer, and rubber
washer all in one piece.
Tliis, screwed up into posi¬
tion on the bolt, sets the
painter, the car-washer, and
the damp at defiance.

Private motor-car owners
have little or nothing for
which to thank the Depart¬
mental Committee appointed
to consider the use of petro¬
leum in this country. At
the present moment the priv¬
ate owner can obtain the
necessary permission to store
the legal quantity of petrol,
provided he satisfies the re¬
quirements of the Act with
regard to the distance of the
place of storage from any
building. If it is necessary
to approach nearer than the
specified 20 feet, the local
inspector can sanction the
character and position of
the proposed store. More¬
over, the private owner in¬
variably keeps his spirit in
the two-gallon sealed cans
in which petrol is sent out
by the various purveyors,
so that no danger exists.
But a desire for further
official control was, of course,
to be expected of a Depart¬
mental Inquiry; and further
official control by the County
Councils, who are already
chin - deep in red tapeism and officialdom, means
more worry and trouble for the private owner,
who is very comfortable as he is, thank you! Some
members of the committee appear to think that by
regulations they can prevent lovely woman from laving
her tresses with petrol, if she so desires. Quelle

"THE SPECKLED BAND." AT THE ADELPHI.

S ir Arthur Conan Doyle’s latest play
has the great recommendation of re¬
introducing us to our old friend, Sherlock
Holmes. The story of “ The Speckled Band ’’
is of the blood-curdling mystery order. From
the moment the curtain rose on the inquest
held on the body of Violet Stonor, the young
and charming girl who has so strangely died,
down to the scenes in which the detective
convicted uncanny-looking Dr. Rylott of mur¬
dering her, and attempting to murder her
sister, by the instrumentality of a snake, last
Saturday night’s audience seemed held as by
a spell, and they revelled in all the gruesome
details of the author’s invention. Broad fun
and horrors of crime are nicely alternated in
Sir Arthur’s plot, which he manages with
really neat stage - craft. The villain, the
devilish Dr Rylott, with his shifty eyes, his
shuffling walk, his twitching fingers, and his
unkempt beard, dominates the story, thanks
to the subtle art of Mr. Lyn Harding, who
gives us a study of the criminal tempera¬
ment that is curiously impressive. Sherlock
Holmes, of course, we are glad to meet again,
with his familiar pipe and his indulgence in
drugs and his dressing-gown, and Mr. H. A.
Saintsbury hits off the man’s externals and
manages cleverly his disguises. But neither

F.dwardes has ever offered us is the musical
comedy which he has just staged at ihe
Vaudeville under the title of “ The Girl in
the Train.” The plot is simplicity itself.
A married man meets a girl late at nigln
wandering about a corridor-train in search
of a sleeping - bunk, and gives up his bunk
to her. But his wife is jealous, and
the result of his innocent benevolence is
an action for divorce, in which he loses
his case. The “ Trial by Jury ” business
makes an excellent first acr, which might
have been made, but is just kept from be¬
ing, too serious. “Won’t you many me?”
asks the divorced husband of the girl re¬
sponsible for his trouble in a lively duet;
but, needless to say, husband and wife
meet again and are still in love. The com¬
poser (Leo Fall) furnishes dances and walt*-
refrains which will set all the town trying
to whistle or hum their melodies; while a
cast which includes Mr. Robert Evett, Mr.
Rutland Barrington, Mr. Huntley Wright,
Mr. Fred Kmney, Miss Clara Evelyn, and
Miss Phyllis Dare (much livelier lhan
usual) keeps the audience delighted ihe
whole evening through. The most popular
numbers of ihe score are likely to be the
finale of the first act (a beautiful piece of
elaboration), “In the Park,” which has
a swinging tune, Miss Evelyn’s “Secret”
song, and a couple of delicious dance-duets.

For Infants

Infants like it, and take it
readily.

Its use may be begun grad¬

It makes healthy bone and
good teeth, which are so
necessary' for proper physical
development.

It relieves constipation,
which, in infancy, is nearly
always caused by improper,

It is not “ predigested ” ;
thus it strengthens and de¬

Sir Hiram MAXIM’S GREAT INVENTION

For the Relief of BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, SORE THROATS, COUGHS & COLDS, NASAL CATARRH, fife.

SIR HIRAM MAXIM writes: — “I would not attach my name to any invention which I had not thoroughly tested and proved; and especially have I concerned
myself in reference to these Instruments for Inhalation, which I have so unreservedly recommended to those who suffer as I have suffered.”

THE WRONG WAY.

S3 Zfl

“INDIRECT" INHALING.

STATEMENT

BY

Sir Hiram Maxim.

January !</, 1910.

I HAVE for years suffered from bronchial and
throat affections. There is hardly any European
health resort recommended for them that 1 have not
visited, and 1 have consulted a large number of
specialists upon my case.

If 1 had not found the means of cure, I could not
live on this side of the Atlantic at all. Every
experience in my own case has shown me that
inhalation and inhalation alone can give relief. Even
so, on the old methods of inhalation, such relief as
I have been able to obtain was only temporary.
This led me to turn my mind to the problem.

I found that every inhalation I tried always made
me cough at the beginning, and, failing to get cured,
I set my mind to the problem of ascertaining just
where the existing methods broke down. As a result,
1 made myself an apparatus bv the help of which,
although affected by a chronic bronchial trouble, I
am able to live in perfect comfort. The little pocket
appliance, which 1 call the “ Maxim Inhaler,” never
leaves my person day or night. At the first sign of
trouble it is brought into play.

The larger apparatus of my invention, which I
call the " Pipe of Peace,” embodies, like the Maxim
Inhaler, the principle of direct inhalation. The
principle of both is perfectly simple, but the effect is
simply perfect. In both of them medicated vapours—
vapour of menthol in the Maxim Inhaler, vapour of

a compound essence of pine, compounded by myself,
in the Pipe of Peace—are released, not just inside
the teeth, but close to the throat. My knowledge
of chemistry enabled me to compound an essence of
pine free from the liability which all ordinary pine
essences possess to set up coughing at the beginning.

The form of apparatus which I have designed
delivers the vapours at exactly the right spot.

The “ Dipt- of Peace” and the “ Maxim Inhaler ” can be purchased at
all drug stores, chemists, etc , throughout the United Kingdom and the
Colonies, India and the Far East, and all European capitals. Pull details

You just add some OMO to the water; put the

half-hour (or longer if you have the time); rinse
out and hang to dry. That is all.

OMO has washed, bleached, and purified in one
operation.

OMO does away with all rubbing and scrubbing.
OMO may be used with the utmost confidence.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, June II, 1910.-934

LADIES' PAGE.

T HERE seems no particular reason why a “Woman’s
Conference ” should be held in connection with
the Japan Exhibition. Somebody has seen it as an
opportunity, however, and has arranged two weeks of
teminine talk upon a mixed assortment of topics. Two
of the subjects set down have been long amongst my
peculiar interests, for which I have put in many a word,
and it is pleasing to see the ideas taking root in such
influential quarters. One of these views is the neces¬
sity for training for domestic work, which I have so
often advocated here as a prime necessity, urging that
skill in home - work is no mere rule of thumb, no
trivial routine which is “ picked up ” by the dullest
or most frivolous girl as instinctively as a newly
hatched chicken picks up its corn, but that it neecD
training and practice as much as any other voca¬
tion or art. Often have I quoted in behalf of home¬
making duties the forcible phrase used by Miss
Nightingale specially about nursing: “Three-fourths of
the troubles of women arise from their exempting them¬
selves from the rules of training held necessary in the
case of men.” Well, at this “Conference” a number
of ladies have ably elaborated this same theme.

Many of the speakers are connected with the recently
established King’s College course of Domestic Science,
from which, as a little leaven leaveneth the lump, it is
hoped influence will gradually radiate until this import¬
ant branch of the arts of life, based on science, is
recognised at its true value as a subject of learning.
Like many another valuable experiment, this definite
teaching on University lines has been initiated
by Americans. Since 1891, Wellesley College for
Women has had a Professor of Domestic Science,
paid and regarded as highly as, for instance, the
Professor of Classics or of Engineering. Thence the
idea spread to most of the other leading Women’s
Colleges in the United States. Moreover, America has a
great number of agricultural colleges, partly supported
by State funds (here we have but a very few, supported
by private enterprise) ; and these have almost univers¬
ally adopted Household Science as a subject. The
work has been almost exclusively accomplished by col¬
lege-trained women—Masters of Art, Doctors of Medi¬
cine, and Bachelors of Science, whose intellectual
ability makes them appreciate the case.

My other pet topic which is having a field day is
what I always call “ the housewife's wages.” This is
being brought before the Conference by Lady McLaren.
The point is that, no matter how well a wife performs
her domestic tasks, she does not become entitled
thereby to any definite pecuniary recompense at all.

I fully admit that the vast majority of men do allow
spending - money to the extent of their ability to the
head of the household workers ; but it remains the fact
that in the cases where a man does not choose to do
so, there is no way to compel him to let his wife have a

proper proportion of his income, either for the famiiy
use or her own private expenditure. Moreover, the law
is that a wife who has no source of income apart
from her household tasks cannot really own any
money ! If, for instance, she should save up any
of her own so-called personal allowance, that sum even
is not really hers, for her husband can reclaim
it as his pioperty at any time and spend it himself in
aiiy way that he chooses. Also, at the end of a
laborious life’s work in the home, a wife's name may
be left out of her husband’s will, however wealthy he
may have been. This is not permitted in most other
countries, and the possibility is not duly honouring
and rewarding the domestic worker. As the home
must always be the chief sphere of the work of women
as a whole, it seems to me that these two reforms are
urgent in its conditions : first, a recognition of the need
for definite training for tlie occupation, and, second,
giving the married worker a claim to a proper recom¬
pense for her “ very own ” from the family’s income.

Quite as interesting as any public exhibition to visitors
to London, and a favourite shopping-place with Society,
is 1 he splendid establishment of Messrs. Mappin and
Webb, 158-162, Oxford Street, near Oxford Circus. In
this handsome, airy, and well - lighted saloon are set
forth the most beautiful products of the modern gold¬
smith’s, silversmith’s, and jeweller’s arts. There is a
fancy department, showing dressing-cases and other
leather, tortoiseshell, and glass articles, and there is
a stock of clocks and watches. In the jewellery depart¬
ment one may choose some lovely things. The silver
department is replete with beautifully designed and
finished goods of all descriptions, and most articles
can be had duplicated in the well-known “Prince's
Plate,” which wears for years as well as solid silver.
Messrs. Mappin and Webb are also at 2. Queen Victoria
Street, City, and 220, Regent Street, W.

It is highly important in selecting a marking - ink
to choose one that is at once indelible and will not
injure the fabric. Both qualities distinguish the old-
established “ John Bond’s Crystal Palace marking-
ink,” which has stood the test of a century’s use. It
can be had either to be fixed by heating or in the
non - heat preparation, and is equally satisfactory in
either case.

Polished wood floors, or “surrounds” to the carpets,
are generally recognised as both artistic and sanitary ;
but to get a common deal floor in good condition and to
keep it so is not easy. The “ Ronuk ” Company, who
have just opened a new London depot at 16, South
Molton Street, VV., are prepared to meet all difficulties.
They will put any floor in good condition by their patent
process, and send workmen regularly to keep it in
order at contract prices. What they can do is on view
in their charming new show-rooms. “Ronuk” polish,
as sold by all oil-shops, ordinarily enables the house¬
maid to keep both floors and all polished wood in first-
rate condition. FlLOMENA.

The man who owns a Premier Helical is the envy of his
fellow cyclists. If you would know why, mark the
“ Helical” Tubing—a Premier speciality. That tubing
is made of high carbon steel, coiled spirally, and in
actual test it is at least 50 % stronger than ordinary
tubing of the same diameter and gauge. It not only
gives the Bicycle a smart, distinctive appearance, but
makes it as strong as an ordinary machine of twice
the weight. This is an enormous advantage, especi
ally in the case of a heavy rider.

This wonderful machine is sold at £8 : 15 : 0. Hitherto,
has never cost less than £10 : 10 : 0. The quality of the
work is as good as ever, the rsing demand acco s for the

ANCIENT FRESCOES AT STRATFORD-ON-
AVON.

(See lliustrutions on "At the Sign o/St. Paul's" Page.)

U PON the walls of the ancient chapel of the Guild
of the Holy Cross at Stratford-on-Avon, and
exactly opposite the house wherein Shakespeare died,
there once existed probably the most interesting series

coloured drawings were made of each picture before
spoliation, and these were published just one hundred
years ago. From the rare book containing the draw¬
ings, the photographs reproduced on another page
were taken. Unfortunately, some of the frescoes were
damaged before the drawings were made, owing to
the decay of the plaster upon which they were painted.

Adam was taken ill, and Seth, his son, v/ent to the gate
of Paradise “for to gete ye oyle of mercy for to enoynte
with al his fad[er]’s body.” St. Michael, however, gave
him a branch of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil,
and said that Adam would be well when this bore fruit.
Upon returning, Seth found his father “deed,” and
planted the branch upon his grave. Here it grew into

WILL "DREADNOUGHTS" OR TORPEDO-BOATS DECIDE THE NEXT NAVAL WAR ?—GERMAN TORPEDO - BOATS PASSING THROUGH THE LINES AT SOME RECENT MANCEUVRFS.
It has been suggested of late by some distinguished naval critics that, for the purposes of naval warfare in narrow seas, such as the North Sea for instance, "Dreadnoughts'’ will be practically useless until the
seas have been cleared of torpedo craft, submarines, and mines. Meantime the "Dreadnoughts,” it is said, will have to lie idle in protected harbours until they are able to go to sea without risk of bring
torpedoed. It is argued that, if this be true, it is even more important that the two-power standard should be maintained in torpedo-craft than in " Dreadnoughts.” The question is also asked by Mr. Arnold
White,-In the event of war in the North Sea, what means are there for bringing an enemy's fleet to action after the sea is clear for battle-ships to operate?

of mural paintings in England. Alas ! their glory has
now vanished. Vandals many years ago covered the
paintings with prosaic whitewash, through which their
colours are now faintly visible. Happily, however.

According to the “Golden Legend,” a work by
Jacobus de Voraigne, translated and published by Caxtou
in 1483 , the history of the Holy Cross* begins in the
Garden of Eden. One version relates that after the Fall

from the branch given to Seth, and prophesied that the
Saviour of the woild vvottld be hanged upon it, and by
Him the kingdom of the |e\v.s would come to an end.
The tree was therefore cut down and deeply buried.
Later, a pit to hold water for religious purposes was
made above the burial-
place, and here mirac¬
ulous healing - powers
were immediately
manifested. Near the
time of the Crucifixion,
the tree floated to the
surface of the water
and was used for mak¬
ing the Holy Cross.
'I'll us, as Caxton quaint¬
ly puts it, “ Ye crosse
by whyche we be
saved came of ye tree
by whyche we were
da’ned.” This is the
most [beautiful idea in
the whole legend.

After the Crucifixion,
the cross was buried.
When many years had
passed away, the
Emperor Constantine
the Great had a vision
on the night preceding
his final struggle with
his rival, Mexentius.
An angel bearing a
cross appeared before
him, and upon the
cross was inscribed in
gold “ In this sygne
thou shalt overcome ye
battayle.” A cross
was therefore borne
before the Emperor
during the fight. His
success over Mexen¬
tius is shown in the
second picture, and in
a corner his vision is
depicted. The armies
of the rival Emperors
are distinguished by
badges worn upon the
breast.

After this victory
Constantine embraced
Christianity. The Empress Helena, his mother, later
journeyed to Jerusalem to discover the true cross, whose
whereabouts was now known to but one man, named
Judas, a Jew. In the third picture she is on her way : in
the adjoining scene she appears twice. In one place
she is examining Judas, who, after torture by starvation,
took the Empress to the hiding-place. The finding of

the true cross, and of those of the thieves, is also shown.
We may notice the Empress’s pet dog and her page¬
boy. The costumes of the figures in the series are of
the Tudor period. The miraculous proof of genuine¬
ness, that of “ resynge a made from deth to lyfe,” is
next presented ; and a solemn entry of the cross into
Jerusalem adjoins. A legend states that Judas became
a Christian, was made Bishop of Jerusalem, and finally
underwent martyrdom.

Constantine left a portion of the cross at Jerusalem,
and this was taken away by Chosroes, of Persia, who
despoiled the city. Heraclius, a Christian Emperor of
Byzantium, raised a host to recover the relic, and his
single combat with Chosroes’ son on a bridge over the
Danube is shown next. Heraclius won. Chosroes him¬
self is next seen. After building a temple, he had placed
therein the piece of the cross taken from Jerusalem,
and by it an image of the sun. He then commanded all
to worship him as god. A countryman doing this may
be seen, together with his offering of sheep. Unfortu¬
nately for Chosroes, Heraclius arrived also, and decapi¬
tated the would-be divinity.

A second entry into Jerusalem and a second
vision come last in the series. Elated by success,
Heraclius set out for Jerusalem, taking with him the
piece of the cross. The gates, however, were miracu¬
lously closed against him, and an angel rebuked
him, saying that where he was riding in great pride
his Saviour had gone humbly upon an ass. Heraclius
at once proceeded in humility, clothed only in his shirt.

PARLIAMENT.

T HE House of Commons resumed its work after the
recess in a quiet, pacific manner. Passion was
subdued by the preparations for a conference on the
constitutional issue, and this topic has nearly absorbed
attention. Mr. Asquith, in a very good-humoured tone,
expressed the hope on Monday that a meeting would
take place at an early date between himself and Mr.
Balfour, and this—the first direct reference in the House
of Commons to negotiations for a compromise—was
received on both sides with friendly cheers, while the
leader of the Opposition smiled pleasantly. Although
scepticism may have prevailed in the Lobby with
regard to the ultimate result, it was evident that
members generally approved of the meeting of the
rival leaders, who are personally on friendly terms.
There was comparatively little party bitterness even
in the debate which was raised on Egypt. Several
Conservatives drove home Mr. Roosevelt’s admoni¬
tion, but Mr. Balfour himself, in demanding prompt
and decisive action to restore the authority of the
dominant race, refrained from any attack on the
Government ; and, on the other hand, the Foreign
Secretary, who praised Mr. Roosevelt's speech, gave
satisfaction to most of the members on both sides by
his declaration of a firm policy. He said he had con¬
sulted Sir Eldon Gorst as to measures for securing
that punishment should follow' grave crime more
swiftly than at present, and he announced that no
progress could be made with the development of the
government of Egypt by the Egyptians as long as
the agitation against the British occupation continued.
There was a considerable display of partisan feel¬
ing during the debate on the unseating of Captain
Guest in East Dorset ; but it was excited by the
attack made on the Wimborne family by Mi. Mark¬
ham, a Liberal, who contrasted what he called the
vulgar use of their purse on behalf of the Ministerial
candidate with the protests of Mr. Lloyd-George and
the Gladstone League against territorial intimidation.
The issue of a new writ was opposed also by another
Liberal, Mr. Belloc, but the amendment received only
24 votes against 229. There was an important discus¬
sion in the Upper House on Monday on the position of
the Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean. It was
announced that Lord Kitchener had declined to take up
the appointment. Severe comment was made by a
number of Peers on the Government policy in the
matter, and its lack of continuity ; but Lord Lucas
intimated that the Mediterranean command would be
maintained with enlarged duties, including the inspec¬
tion of all the military forces oversea, except in India.
Meantime, in the House of Lords, Lord Rosebery’s
reform resolutions remain on the notice-paper, under
the heading of “ No day named.”

OUR PRESENTATION PLATES.

W E give as a Supplement with this, our Summer
Number, two beautiful coloured plates repro- 1
duced from pictures by Mr. Frank Haviland, whose
delicate work jn portraiture, as well as in imaginary
figures, is so familiar to readers of the Illustrated Lon¬
don Hews. In these two examples, representing types
of beauty of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
respectively, the artist’s . exquisite manner is seen at
its best. There is character and soul, as well as mere
physical beauty, in his women’s faces. The eyes of the
eighteenth-cenrury belle, in particular, seem to gaze out
at one with a fascinating intensity. In both faces the
twentieth - century artist has, perhaps, unconsciously
introduced some of the twentieth - century woman’s
awakened intellectual spirit.

HIS MAJESTY’S FIRST PORTRAIT AS KING OF ENGLAND,

IN THE UNIFORM OF HIS NEW RANK IN THE ROYAL NAVY: KING GEORGE AS ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET.

When he came to the Throne, his Majesty held the rank of Admiral in the Royal Navy, and that of General in the Army. On the 3rd of this month, the Admiralty issued

th following announcement: “In accordance with His Majesty's Order in Council of the 31st of May. 1910, His Majesty King George the Filth, King of the United

Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions Beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, has been promoted to the rank of Admiral

of the Fleet in His Majesty's Fleet. Dated May 7th, 1910.*' At the same time, the War Office announced: “His Majesty the King has been pleased to assume the

rank of Fielu Marshal. Dated May 7th. 1910." It will be noticed that, although only gazetted this month, both appointments date from the day after King Edward's death.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Tune 18, 1910—946

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

T POINTED out last week that our makers of ultra-
modern moralities (and immoralities) do not really
grasp how problematical a problem is. They are not
specially the people who see the difficulties of modern
life ; rather, they are the people who do not see the
difficulties. These innovators make life insanely simple ;
making freedom or knowledge a universal pill. I re¬
marked it in connection with a clever book by Miss
Florence Farr, and took as an instance the propos¬
ition (which she seemed to support) that marriage is
good for the common herd, but can be advantageously
violated by special “experimenters’* and pioneers.
Now, the weakness of this position is that it takes
no account of the problem of the disease of pride. It
is easy enough to say that weaker souls
had better be guarded, but that we must
give freedom to Georges Sand or make ex¬
ceptions for George Eliot. The practical
puzzle is this: that it is precisely the
weakest sort of lady novelist who thinks
she is Georges Sand ; it is precisely the
silliest woman who is sure she is George
Eliot. It is the small soul that is sure it
is an exception ; the large soul is only too
proud to be the rule. To advertise for ex¬
ceptional people is to collect all the sulks
and sick fancies and futile ambitions of
the earth. The good artist is he who can
be understood; it is the bad artist who
is always “misunderstood.” In short, the
great man is a man ; it is always the
tenth-rate man who is the Superman.

But in Miss Farr’s entertaining pages
there was another instance of the same
thing which I had no space to mention
last week. The writer disposes of the diffi¬
cult question of vows and bonds in love
by leaving out altogether the one extra¬
ordinary fact of experience on which the
whole matter turns. She again solves the
problem by assuming that it is not a prob¬
lem. Concerning oaths of fidelity, etc., she
writes: “ We cannot trust ourselves to make
a real love-knot unless money or custom
forces us to * bear and forbear.’ There is
always the lurking fear that we shall not
be able to keep faith unless we swear upon
the Book. This is, of course, not true of
young lovers. Every first love is born free
of tradition ; indeed, not only is first love
innocent and valiant, but it sweeps aside
all the wise laws it has been taught, and
burns away experience in its own light.

The revelation is so extraordinary, so unlike
anything told by the poets, so absorbing,
that it is impossible to believe that the
feeling can die out.”

true that the tradition of their fathers and mothers is
in favour of fidelity; but it is emphatically not true
that the lovers merely follow it; they invent it anew.
It is quite true that the lovers..feel their love eternal,
and independent of oaths; but it-is emphatically not
true that they do not desire to take the oaths. They
have a ravening thirst to take as many oaths as pos¬
sible. Now this is the paradox ; this is the whole
problem. It is not true, as Miss Farr would have it,
that young people feel free of vows, being confident of
constancy ; while old people invent vows, having lost
that confidence. That would be much too simple; if
that were so there would be no problem at all. The
startling but quite solid fact is that young people are

Now this is exactly as if some old
naturalist settled the bat’s place in nature
by saying boldly, “ Bats do not fly.” It is
as if he solved the problem of whales by
bluntly declaring that whales live on land.

'There is a problem of vows, as of bats and
whales. What Miss Farr says about it is
quite lucid and explanatory; it simply hap¬
pens to be flatly untrue. It is not the fact
that young lovers have no desire to swear on the
Book. They are always at it. It is not the fact that
every young love is born free of traditions about bind¬
ing and promising, about bonds and signatures and
seals. On the contrary, lovers wallow in the wildest
pedantry and precision about these matters. They do
the craziest things to make their love legal and irre¬
vocable. They tattoo each other with promises ; they
cut into rocks and oaks with their names and vows;
they bury ridiculous things in ridiculous places to be a
witness against them ; they bind each other with rings,
and inscribe each other, in Bibles; if they are raving
lunatics (which is not untenable), they are mad solely
on this idea of binding and on nothing else. It is quite

RECENTLY INSTALLED AS CHANCELLOR OF LEEDS UNIVERSITY:

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE IN HIS ACADEMIC ROBES.

At Leeds Town Hall last Saturday a Congregation of the University of Leeds was held for the
installation of the new Chancellor, the Duke of Devonshire, and for conferring honorary degrees,
among others, on the Prime Minister, Lord Crewe, Lord Lansdowne, and the Speaker. The Duke
was installed by the Vice-Chancellor, Sir N. Bodington, who conferred upon him the honorary
degree of Doctor of Laws, and the Registrar invested him with the doctjrial hood. The new
Chancellor was very cordially received. The Duke in his speech referred with pride to the part
his family bad taken in the development of the University from the old Yorkshire College.

gentleman and half a horse. But there is nothing
horsey about the gentleman. The centaur is a manly
sort of man—up to a certain point The mermaid is
a womanly woman—so far as she goes. The human
parts tof these monsters are handsome, like heroes, or
lovely, like nymphs; their bestial appendages do not
affect the full perfection of 1 heir humanity—what there
is of it. There is nothing humanly wrong with the
centaur, except that he rides a horse without a head.
There is nothing humanly wrong with the mermaid;
Hood put a good comic motto to his picture of a
mermaid: “All’s well that ends well.” It is, perhaps,
quite true ; it all depends which end. Those old wild
images included a crucial truth. Man is a monster.

And he is all the more a monster because
one part of him is perfect. It is not true,
as the evolutionists say, that man moves
perpetually up a slope from imperfection to
perfection, changing ceaselessly, so as to
be suitable. The immortal part of a man
and the deadly part are jarringly distinct,
and have always been. And the best proof
of this is in such a case as we have con¬
sidered—the case of the oaths of love.

A man’s soul is as full of voices as a
forest; there are ten thousand tongues there
like all the tongues of the trees: fancies,
follies, memories, madnesses, mysterious
fears, and more mysterious hopes. All the
settlement and sane government of life con¬
sists in coming to the conclusion that some
of those voices have authority and others
not. You may have an impulse lo fight
your enemy or an impulse to run away from
him ; a reason to serve your country or a
reason to betray it; a good idea for making
sweets or a better idea for poisoning them.
The only test I know by which to judge
one argument or inspiration from another
is ultimately this : that all the noble neces¬
sities of man talk the language of eternity.
When man is doing the three or four things
that he was sent on this earth to do,
then he speaks like one who shall live for
ever. A man dying for his country does not
talk as if local preferences could change.
Leonidas does not say, “In my present
mood, I prefer Sparta to Persia.” William
Tell does not remark, “The Swiss civilis¬
ation, so far as I can yet see, is superior
to the Austrian.” When men are mak¬
ing commonwealths, they talk in terms
of the absolute, and so they do when they
are making (however unconsciously) those
smaller commonwealths which are called
families. There are in life certain im¬
mortal moments, moments that have author¬
ity. Lovers are right to tattoo each other’s
skins and cut each other’s names about
the world ; they do belong to each other,
in a more awful sense than they know.

especially fierce in making fetters and final ties at
the very moment when they think them unnecessary.
The time when they want the vow is exactly the
time when they do not need it. That is worth
thinking about.

Nearly all the fundamental facts of mankind are to
be found in its fables. And there is a singularly sane
truth in all the old stories of the monsters—such as
centaurs, mermaids, sphinxes, and the rest. It will
be noted that in each of these the humanity, though
imperfect in its extent, is perfect in its quality. The
mermaid is half a lady and half a fish ; but there is
nothing fishy about the lady. A centaur is half a

\UIIH regaid to the photograph, “ Queen
* * Alexandra Sitting to a Famous
Sculptor at Buckingham Palace,” which we published
in our issue of June 4 last, we should like to point out
that it was not stated in our paper that the photo¬
graph was taken recently, nor was there a statement
that her Majesty wished the photograph to be circu¬
lated among the people. It is obvious to anyone
that, at a time of such great grief, her Majesty would
not give sittings. The information given under the
Illustration in our paper was that authorised by and
passed by those who supplied us with the photograph
for publication ; indeed, by the terms of our agree¬
ment we were prohibited from saying anything more
or less. We may add further that we ourselves have
received no official communication on the subjtct.

was well exem¬
plified in Miss
Violet Brooke-

Hunt, whose early death will be deeply regretted. She
was a brilliant speaker, and took a prominent part in
the last General Election. During the South African
War, she was at the front organising schemes for the
welfare of the troops, and received the war medal
and an Order. She managed a club for the Colonial
troops at the Coronation, and was decorated by King Edward
at Buckingham Palace. At the Imperial Press Conference she
had charge of the women’s side. Her chief work, perhaps,
was the founding of the Women’s Unionist and Tariff Reform
Association. She was also the author of several books.

Mr. Balfour achieved a record by winning the Parliamentary
Golf Handicap for the third time, for no one else has won it
more than twice. .His previous victories were in 1894 and 1897.
This year’s event took place last Saturday, on the Royal St.
George’s Club course at Sandwich. The Leader of the Opposition
was driving further than he has done for several
years, and his play was steady and consistent
throughout—a good sign of his physical fitness for
the stress of politics.

Mr. Richard Glynn Vivian, whose death occurred
a few days ago, was a son of the founder of the
well-known copper-smelting works at Landore, South
Wales. He was a brother of the late Lord Swansea,
and uncle of the present Peer. He had tiavelled in
many parts of the
world, and was
a great collec¬
tor of art trea¬
sures. Much of
his collection he
presented to
Swansea, and he
built an art-gal¬

many ways. He
was also a poet,

Goldwin Smith was born in 1823 at Reading.

He went to Eton, and afterwards to Oxford, where
he had a brilliant academic career, winning several
high classical prizes and scholarships. He was
called to the Bar. but never practised, and devoted
himself to writing, which was mainly controversial
in character. He took a prominent part in the
movement which led up to the abolition of
religious tests at Oxford, and the general reorgan¬
isation of the University, put into effect by the
Act of 1871. From 1858 to 1866 he was Regius
Professor of Modern History at Oxford. King
Edward, when at Oxford, was one of his pupils.

“ He never let me see that he was bored,” wrote the
Professor. “ From this 1 gathered that he would suc¬
cessfully discharge the
most arduous duties of
royalty.” In 1864 Pro¬
fessor Goldwin Smith
went to America, and
became Professor of
English and Constitu¬
tional History at Cornell
University. In 1871 he
migrated to Toronto, and
lived there till his death.

He wrote a large num¬
ber of books and con¬
tributed constantly to
periodicals. He was
anti - Imperialistic, and
advocated the union of
Canada with the United
States. On the other

hand, he opposed Home ^ ^ /v/j

a serious handicap. He was born in 1829. at Phila¬

appeared with Phelps and Toole in “ John Bull,” at the
old Gaiety. His other notable appearances are too
numerous to be recorded here. In 1900 he appeared in
Bernard Shaw’s “ You Never Can Tell,” at the Strand.

He married, in 1863, the actress, Mrs. Charles Young.

Among opera-goers of experience, Mile. Sofia
Ravogli, who has just died of heart-failure, in Rome, will be
remembered as a distinguished soprano. She appeared with her
sister, Giulia Ravogli (Mrs. Harrison Cripps), at Covent Garden
in “ Aida ” and “ Orfeo,” and she was particularly successful,
by reason of her statuesque beauty, in such parts as that of
Helen in “ Mefistofele.”

Sir George Newnes was a pioneer and epoch - maker in the
world of journalism. Nearly every one of his ventures was a
new departure. This especially applies, of course, to Tit-Bits, the
Strand Magazine , and the Review of Reviews. Other papers
which he founded include the Westminster Gazette
(born when the Pall Mall Gazette turned Conser¬
vative), the Wide- World Magazine , Fry's Alaga-
zine , the Sunday Strand , the Ladies' Field , and
Woman's Life. In latter years he also took up the
publication of books, in which he was equally suc¬
cessful. Born in 1851, the son of a Nonconformist
minister, at Matlock, Sir George carved out his own
career. After leaving the City of London School, he
spent five years in a fancy-goods warehouse, and
was then sent
to establish a
branch of the
firm in Man¬
chester. It was
there that the
brilliant idea oc¬
curred to him
which was the
basis of his for¬
tune. Reading
a paragraph
fiom a paper to
his wife one day,
he said, “ That
is what I call
a real tit - bit.

Now, why can¬
not a paper be
brought out con¬
taining nothing
but tit-bits, like
this?” The
next year, 1881,
saw the first
number of Tit-
Bits. Lady
Newnes, whom
he married in

1875, is a daughter of the Rev. J. Hillyard, of
Leicester. Sir George was M.P. for Newmarket
from 1885 to 1895, and for Swansea from 1900 until
last January. He was made a Baronet in 1895.

Probably a record in advances of salary has been
achieved by Mr. W. H. Clark, private secretary to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, it is under¬
stood, has been appointed to a high position in
India, his salary consequently rising from £300 to
j £5334 per annum. He is to have charge, it is said,
of the Department of Commerce and Industr>-on
the Viceroy’s Executive Council. Mr. Clark, who is
only thirty-four, was educated at Eton and Trinity. Cam¬
bridge. He went to Shanghai as secretary of the Special
Mission for concluding a commercial treaty with China.

In 1903 he became secre¬
tary to the Royal Com¬
mission on the Supply of
Food in Time of War.

At the Imperial Press
Conference a year ago
the late Sir Robert Kyffin
Thomas, of Adelaide,
became well acquainted
with fellow-journalists in
this country. He was
President of the dele¬
gations of the Conference

Sir Charles Hardinge may be said to have a hereditary interest in the Viceroyalty of India, since his grandfather, the first Viscount Hardjnge of Lahore, who distinguished himself in the Peninsular
War and at Ligny. was Governor-General of India from 1844 to 1848. Sir Charles himself has studied the foreign politics of India from various points of view. He served successively
at Constantinople, Berlin. Washington, Sofia. Bucharest. Paris, Teheran, and St. Petersburg. He was a close friend of King Edward, whom he accompanied on many foreign visits.
Since 1906 he has been Permanent Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The news of his appointment has been warmly welcomed in India, where it is a special cause of satisfaction
that there is also a Vicereine. Lady Hardinge was the Hon. Winifred Sturt, daughter of the first Lord Alington, and Woman of the Bedchamber to Queen Alexandra. Her two sons. Edward
and Alexander, were named after the late King and the Queen Mother, and her daughter. Diamond, after King Edward's horse Diamond jubilee, which had just wen the Derby when she was born-

Little thought Pheidippides, when he ran from Marathon to Athena to announce the great victory, that hia achievement would provide a generic name for a race two thousand years after, in a
civilisation to whose development that victory at Marathon so largely contributed. The Coaching Marathon in connection with the International Horse Show took place last Saturday, and was
won, for the second time in succession, by Mr. A. G. Vanderbilt, whose coaching service between London and Brighton is so well known. The cup now becomes his property. Mr. Vanderbilt's
team of greys are of the American trotter breed, able to trot 15 to 16 miles an hour, while English horses usually do little more than 12. The time was 41 minutes, and the distance a little
under 10 miles. The prize, however, was not of necessity awarded to the first arrival—no racing, or even cantering, being allowed. The second prize was won by Mr. E. H Brown, who came
in third: the third by Judge Moore, who came in second, nine minutes behind Mr. Vanderbilt and seven minutes ahead of Mr. Brown. -[Photographs by C.N.. and Spokt and General.]

BUILT BY A DUKE TO CELEBRATE HIS ESCAPE FROM A BISHOP
OF COLOGNE. THE CATHEDRAL AT FREIBURG.

“Freiburg was founded ... by that versatile charcoal-burner, Berthold, first Duke of
Ziihringen. This was in 1090, but it was under Berthold the third Duke that it received
it« rresent name. . . . Berthold 111. was taken prisoner by a warlike Bishop of Cologne, who

either a liberty—if the author knows that there is a real Annie S.
Swan ; or is felt as a slight—if the novelist be honestly unaware that
such an artist exists in rerum natura , for the fact is notorious.

In America, literary criticism is not always well informed. I
have received a pretty thick volume, styled “ Their Day in Court,”
which convicts me of amazing ignorance, only pardonable, if pardon¬
able at all, to extreme old age. The criticisms are concerned, in
nineteen cases out of twenty, with books, almost always novels,
which I never read, and of which, often, I never heard any mortal
make mention. Of “ Les Demi-vierges ” I have heard, and even
purchased and tried to read it, in a boat, on Loch Duich. But I
cast it into the deep, and the spirits of mankind of the early Age
ot Iron, of men who built the crannogs of Loch Duich. may improve
their minds with this immortal work.

Of “Sir Richard Calmady" I may say vidi tantum. By the
instinct of genius I discovered the most passionate chapter, and
began to read it, but it bored me. “ L’Homme qui Rit ” is enough
for a lifetime, without the afflicted baronet.

There seem to be so manv up-to-date novels that 1 never read.
“Dodo” was one of them. Much was said, by the critic, concerning
Dodo: among other things, that she was generally supposed to be
the portrait of a certain living and much-respected lady, who would
be as much surprised as the reader if I mentioned her name. You
never could guess it if you tried for a twelvemonth.

The critic was very severe on a number of authors and on novels
which, I presume, have had a sonorous moment of renown, but
the trumpets of their fame never reached me. Where are the
snows of yester-year, and is it worth while to war, at great length,
with such poor daughters ot a day ?

there, and never came back to insinuate that so signal a service
merited the most moderate kind of reward. Milly, as a matter of
fact, was ready with an appropriate shilling, but both the guard
and her novel slipped from her mind, and she looked out of the
window, seeing the miles of budding country fly past, without
further reminiscence of either. For the time of year was early
May, and she was on her wav to town after Master in the country,
and London promised to be quite unusually delightful.

The country had been delightful too, for Milly found her
delights thick and broadcast over the land like manna; the
weather had been heavenly, and even in April lawn-tennis had
been possible; Lord Wrexham had proposed to her, and though
Milly had declined, it was nice to be wanted, even by a man
who must be well over forty ; and now the train was taking her
as fast as possible to enjoy the delights of her second season.
And there was no position the world contained that she would
have taken in exchange for her own, in this her twentieth year
of youth and the most effervescent of spirits. She found her
lot in every way delightful, just as she would have found
it delightful if she had been going to spend the . '

summer months in Clapham Junction instead
of Curzon Street, owing to the excellence
of its train service and its short distance
from town.

It was very largely this tremend¬
ous optimism on the part of her
mistress that led the austere Blair
to accept the inconvenience of
such things as ginger-beer with¬
out a glass, and the degrada¬
tion of third - class carriages.

But there was much more
than that of which the world
no less than Blair was con¬
scious. Blair, for instance,
had been in service with an
ennobled bretver (in whose
house, indeed, they had just
been staying) before she came
to attend to Milly, and she
saw the difference between
Gunsons and Berringers with
extreme distinctness. Gunsons
habitually had saloon-carriages
with a first - class compartment
attached, and on occasions.special
trains ; while Milly went third
class and carried her own golf-
clubs across the platform — a thing
which the Hon. Adele Gunson would
never have dreamed of doing, still less
have done. Yet, in spite of their pride and
their saloon-carriages and coronets, Gunsons
were Gunsons still, though they gave wonderful
balls and owned wonderful houses and had royalty
to dinner. But Berringers were Berringers, and
royalties came quietly to tea. Also they said “ Lady Gunson ” to
Lady Gunson, but to Lady Berringer they said, “Flo, dear!”

Blair knew.

Why Berringers were; . Berringers was a thing outside- Blair’s
comprehension, and indeed it was hard of explanation, but it was so.
They were poor, really quite poor ; most of them were quite ordinary,
and a few of them only.(happily) most extraordinary. One such had
lately been made a bankrupt, another had long ago made himself a
drunkard; but, by some inscrutable decree of nature, they had, as a
family heirloom, that indefinable something which we call charm.
They had all of them a tremendous zest for life ; they were all
pleasant and kind, even those who were drunk and bankrupt; they
had something as tonic about them as a fresh sea-w ind, and they all
saw some bright spot in the most untoward things that happened to
them and their friends. They disregarded clouds, but were most
appreciative Of silver linings. Milly’s only brother, for instance, had
had the misfortune a year or two ago to cheat at cards (this was much
the worst thing that had ever happened to the Berringers), but the
w hole family, with the certainty of homing bees, instantly fixed their
cheerful munis on the glorious climate of some vague district in
Western Australia to which poor, darling Bill betook himself, instead
of repining over his disgusting achievement. Similarly, when his
first cousin (who was a drunkard) was ordered to lake a long

At the Dressmaker ’

sea-voyage in a ship that incidentally touched at New Zealand, they
only saw the comfort it would be to poor Bill to run across from
Western Australia and see poor Ben. Both these pleasant places
were very remote ; they were therefore probably close together.

Milly on this particular journey from Exeter had a certain sense
of escape in her mind, which no doubt added to the pleasure of her
lunch. She had been spending Easter with the Gunsons, as has
been said, and she was quite well aware why she had been sent
there. For Lord Wroxham had been spending Easter there too,
and she was afraid her mother, who was not a Berringer, would be
disappointed at the want of result. But Milly had felt that she really
could not do it : he was old, quite old, over forty certainly, and his
chief characteristics were that he lived alternately in two old castles
in the country, and collected coins. These were dug up by his
gardener among curious Roman walls, and placed in plush-lined
cabinets. Otherwise he had no zest for life at all, and found not the
slightest pleasure in all the things that so enthralled Milly: swallows
teaching their young to fly, herons clattering at sunset overhead
with pendulous legs and twilight businesses, hedge-
sparrows making a prodigious bustle over nothing
at all. And Lord Wroxham, though she sup¬
posed he cared about her, cared, really
cared, whether a coin was of the reign
of Hadrian or Caligula. He looked
rather like a coin himself too, with
his Roman nose and slightly
pompous chin. There had been
another man there too, who she
felt might also have been in
Lady Berringer’s mind, though
even Milly could never tell
for certain what was or was
not in that chamber of
thought where so many re¬
markable processes went
on — namely, young Jack
Morris. As a matter of fact,

Lady Berringer, w'ho was
accustomed to have at least
two strings to her bow when
there was any scheme such
as Milly’s marriage on hand,
had been quite aware of his
presence there — indeed, had
both procured him his invitation P A -
and taken care that he should p-gjP'
accept it. During the early spring,
e had been told to drop in to
lunch whenever he felt inclined, which
he had constantly done, and by Easter
- had decided he would “do.” Nobody
seemed to know who he was, and cer¬
tainly nobody cared, for his father was a man of
great wealth, procured by gallons of oil or tons of
rubber, thus not partaking of the ancestral dignities
of those who had made fortunes in South Africa or
American railroads. He was but a mushroom compared to them, so
quickly does the world move; but there he was, somewhere in the
City, and there was his son, good-looking, immensely wealthy, and
anxious to please and ready to be pleased. Only, as Milly observed.

“ Of course, it isn’t his fault, darling mother, but he is a cad! ”

She and her father and mother dined alone, for the first
and probably the last time that season, on the evening that Milly
arrived home, and after dinner Lord Berringer had gone round to
his club to seek after a rubber of bridge, and thus Milly and her
mother were left alone. His wife usually discouraged bridge, for
his luck was as vile as his play (a depressing condition of things,
but one which never detracted one jot from his pleasure in the
game, or shook the conviction that he was just going to hold four
aces and make a grand slam); but to-night she had suggested it,
since she really wanted to talk to Milly, and it was difficult to
see when she would next have an opportunity. So she had, by
way of opening the topic she wished to discuss, asked Milly if
Mr. Morris had been at the Gunsons’, and a few complimentary
remarks on her part with regard to that young man had led to
Milly’s depreciation.

Lady Berringer had occasional fits of what she believed to be
Socialism, when she asserted that everyone was as good as every¬
one else, if not better, and that none of them ought to have less

than two hundred a year or more than three. But, as Milly >vell
knew, when her mother had a fit of Socialism, it was not ot
long duration, because she always, contradicted herself, and had
to stop. So she never interrupted till sonic glaring inconsistency
appeared ; then she pointed it out, and they talked pf something
different.

“ My dear,

. I don’t like
to hear you
make remarks
like that,”
said Lady
Berringer ;

“ you think
far too much
about little
distinctions
of class,
whereas dis¬
tinctions of
character are
the only
things that
ought to
concern us in
our judgment
of people.

Breeding is a
mere veneer,
not but what
Mr. Morris
has excellent
manners; and
a good heart,
whether with
or without an
‘h,’. is the
only thing
that matters.

He is ex¬
tremely pleas¬
ant, and his
aspirates are
• as good as
yours or
. mine. He is
quite one of
the best-look-
in g young
men in Lon¬
don, and I’m
sure he has
an admirable
character.”

“ Yes,
dear, I’m sure
he has too,”
said Milly.

" And I like him
didn’t mean to
him down,”

“ It is not generally
considered high praise to call
a man a cad,”, said Lady Berringer,
with a certain show of reason, “though I
am glad to hear you like him. And really,
with Mr. Lloyd - George in this sort of
humour, taking everybody’s money away and
doing the Lord knows what with it. it is seldom you
come across a man who is getting richer every day, as
I am told old Mr. Morris is, instead of poorer.”

It was always a question, when Lady Berringer
began to talk about class distinctions and property, whether she
was going to be Socialistic or not. On this occasion Milly had
thought that she was, but the trend of these late observations
looked as if she was going to be Conservative. It seemed, in
fact, as if another topic had arisen, like the tares among the
wheat, swamping the Socialistic crop.

“Now you have had one season in London, darling,”

iy Morning
Correspondent

continued Lady Berringer, making it clear what the new topic
was going tt> be, “and I hope von will make the most of your
sepond, because they never come again. It is really time, Milly,
that you began to think about your future, for what with

really seems to
have evolved

of cow which

and as for his
hands, they

them-”

Milly gave

aren’t disappointed. I was sorry, I was indeed, because I like him,
and he likes me. But I am sure it isn’t more than Jhat on his side.
So, though I am sorry, I wasn’t dreadfully sorry. I think he likes me
better than his coins, and I like him better than his coins. But it
isn’t It. I warn you, dear, that I shan’t marry anybody until I feel
that it is It. I daresay the world in general thinks I only care about
dancing and punting on the river, and flying about, and birds
and beasts, and—well, perhaps flirting, because you have told me
I flirt, though I didn’t know it ; and that that is all there is
of me. Well, that is libellous. There’s—there’s Me behind it all.
And there’s a little room right inside me somewhere which I
keep empty. Anyone may go into all the other rooms and be
welcomed in all, but at present nobody may go into that. But
if anybody comes who has a right there, I think the door will
fly open of its own accord! ”

“ My dear, you have been reading Longfellow, and Mrs. Hemans,
and—and poetry,” said Lady Berringer, not meaning to draw
a distinction.

“ No, I haven’t. I’ve read nothing except ‘ Alice in Won¬
derland ’ for weeks. What I say to you isn’t in any way what
anybody else put into my head. I guessed it all for myself,
and having guessed it, I knew it was true. At least perhaps
it was the sight of Barbara that made me guess it a little.
She was down there with the Gunsons, and it was easy to
see that something had happened to her that made all the
difference! ”

“And had it?” asked Lady Berringer, with a faint touch
of frost in her voice.

“ Yes, darling mother, of course it had. Didn’t you know?
She is engaged to Dick Winslow. Oh dear, she was so funny,
but so dreadfully happy; not happy outside only, as I am,
because it is a nice day, or a nice dance, or a nice dog, or
because the birds are building ; but happy inside. You know how
Barbara likes punting, {ind how we always quarrel when we go out
together, as to who should punt the other. Well, this time she
didn’t care a bit, and let me punt all the afternoon, while she sat on
the cushions.”

“ Probably sleepy or lazy,” said Lady Berringer.

“ No, peither the one nor the other, but simply so happy that she
didn’t want to do anything. I think real happiness is like that r
it makes people quiet: it is only pleasure that makes you want to
jump about.”

“ You seem to have guessed a good deal,” remarked her mother.

No, {hat was all. You see it always used to be a question
whether Barbara or I jumped about most, so naturally it struck me
when she only wanted to sit still and smile. Oh, and write to him :
she did a good deal of that. But she didn’t want to talk about it,
which was, odd, and she told me that I could not possibly under¬
stand, until it had happened to me, And she asked me to be a
bridesmaid, of course.”

Lady Berringer sighed rather loudly and intentionally. Like
most practical people (for in spite of her lapses into vague
Socialism, and her extreme discussions in conversation, she did
belong to that stern class) she u'as not much of a hand at
sentiment, especially when, as now, it seemed to her to be tinged
with sentimentality.

“Probably Barbara was not well,” she said, “and well or not,
she seems to have been in a most undesirable state of smiling idiocy.
And if, my dear, the moral of your conversation is that you intend
to keep a little empty room, wasn’t it, in your inside, till you
can find somebody to fill it with the same sickly sort of stuff, I
must say that you would do better to wall it up altogether. But
that is as you like ! ”

It is probable that if Lady Berringer had known more of what
was in Milly’s mind on this occasion, and been better acquainted
with the Me who, as the girl said, sat behind all the superficial
pleasures of life, she would have sooner bitten her tongue out
(whatever that process may actually be) than have been so
trenchant on the subject of the empty room.

If she had been slightly less intolerant, too, of what seemed
to her sentimental, she might, perhaps, have seen that Milly under¬
stood, and was on the way to understand, far more about the
secret nature of her friend’s smiling content than the mere con¬
templation of that smiling content could have explained to
her. She understood it because, though vaguely and dimly,
she was beginning to experience it, and the hand that was on
the latch, so to speak, of the secret chamber in her heart, of
which she had spoken, was none other than the hand of Jack
Morris, which her mother so ardently desired should be there.

Milly herself was just conscious of this, and, as girls will, she
did not at once welcome the intrusion, and with a girl’s strange
and sweet perversity, that at first discourages all that she most
longs to feel, she fenced herself off by such criticism of him
as “ No doubt it was not his fault, but he was a cad,” and
she found it vaguely shocking that a cad should bv any possibility
attract and interest her. For, in spite of Lady Berringer’s asser¬
tion that breeding is a mere veneer, veneer is a very necessary
part of human furniture to those who are accustomed to it. In
the same way, beauty may be only skin-deep; but that appears, for
all practical purposes of desiring it and falling in love with it, to
be quite deep enough. For the skin (like veneer) is that part of a
person which is most in evidence, and comes most constantly into
contact with the world, and it is a very sensitive affair. It would
be little consolation for a convict, for instance, to be assured that
the cat-o’-nine-tails was only superficially painful and left his lungs
and brain quite undamaged. Thus, Milly, in order to fortify her
own instinctive and girlish chivalry from admitting Jack Morris to
the secret self that lay behind her ordinary manifestation, found
herself eager to disagree with her mother’s assertions as to the
superficial character of difference in breeding, just because she
was afraid that at heart she really agreed with them. But she
cordially tried to agree with Lady Berringer’s estimate of Barbara’s
smiling content, an opinion which her mother, had she known
more of what was in the girl’s mind, would have hastily and fer¬
vently recanted. Perhaps her mother was right in her low estimate
of sentiment; Milly would try to think she was right.

The Berringers lived in a very small house in Curzou Street;
.and, Easter being late this year, Milly had noticed on her drive
home front Paddington that most of the houses had opened their
eyes again, and that their blinds were drawn up to signify that

their occupants were in readiness to look out of the windows

again, and had returned to the city where summer days are long

and nights are passed in dancing instead of sleep. That was

quite to her mind, for, with the health and exuberance which
were natural to her, she found this three-months’ pageant of
pleasure a delicious method of passing the summer. Her father
was poor, and, what was more useful, had the reputation of being
poor, so that there was but little entertaining expected of the
house in Curzon Street ; but, owing to the charm of its inhabitants
and the number of their friends, a great deal of entertainment was
always ready to them, and for the present Millv was not conscious
of any marked access of the mood which her mother had found
sentimental. There was shopping to be done without delay at
the Stores on behalf of her mother, and an instant visit to be
made to the dressmaker on her own behalf.

There were a hundred friends who had to be rapidly communi¬
cated with in order to secure frequent meetings, rides to be taken
in the Row, conversations to be held on little green chairs in the
Park, plays to be seen, and music to be danced to. With all the
liberty accorded in this happy age to girls in her position,
she could ride before breakfast with Everard Gunson, and allow
him to escort her out of the Park and down Piccadilly and to
the door of her house ; while an hour later she would be on the first
tee at Mitcham, playing a single with some other infatuated young
gentleman, and return to lunch with a third at the Savoy. Then,
perhaps, in the afternoon she would go down with Barbara to
Hurlingham, and play gooseberry to her u'hile she talked to Dick
Winslow, who was playing polo. And no one but the most sour sort
of moralist could have found it in his dyspeptic soul to preach that
this endless round of pleasure was hollow and unreal, when the prac¬
titioner was so genuinely and sincerely happy as Milly. Many, no
doubt, in the great yearly London fair find their pursuit of pleasure
fatiguing, and productive of but a second-hand sort of enjoyment; they
will go to balls in order to be seen there, feeling afraid of appearing
to be “out of it,” when they do not really care (except for the fear of
seeming “ out of it”) for being “ in it.” No such cold and calculating
a devotee was Milly : she loved to see her friends, she delighted to
dance, she was thrilled with the woven intricacies of the play, and she
adored riding ; while, as for mere material affairs, she liked lunching
at the Savoy because she was hungry and the “things” so delicious.
Thus, with the childish faculty of being absorbed in her immediate
surroundings, she plunged into the iridescent froth of this bubbling
sea of life, and behaved like the charming girl she was, who had the
privilege of belonging to that class which knows so excellently
well how to amuse itself and to take pleasure in the pleasure
of others. Occasionally, but not very often, she had in moments
of leisure to divert her thoughts from a channel down which she
did not wish them to flow. But that was not difficult: this

channel was not yet well worn. Also, so far as she knew, Jack
Morris had not yet come up to town.

F.arly May had grown into late May. and on one of those sweet,
hot mornings that occasionally visit us, hours that have escaped from
the sheaf of Golden Days, she was silling below the trees by the
edge of the Ladies' Mile with Barbara Yentman, feeling particularly
virtuous, since she had given up a whole iiour of this delicious
morning to answering letters. The planes were in full panoply of
angled and varnished leaf, not yet stained by incessant immersion
in soot to the dispiriting drab tint that coats them later on ; glimpses
of sparkling blue sky showed between the leaves, brilliant rhododen¬
dron flowers had burst from their swollen glutinous buds, and hardly
less brilliant than the flower-beds was the riband of gaily coloured
dresses that wove
itself in inter¬
lacing skeins and
threads along
the gravelled
walk. There was
much to talk
about concern¬
ing what had al¬
ready happened,
there was more
to plan as to the
diversions of the
immediate fu¬
ture, and Milly’s
rapid monologue
may' be taken
as a fair repre¬
sentation of the
general condition
of affairs.

“ Yes, I looked
for you every¬
where last night
at the Brettons’,
darling,” she was
saying, “and
asked hundreds
of people where
you were. They
all agreed you
were there, but
nobody knew any
more, and, of
course, if you
will sit hidden
in the conserva¬
tory like that,
without ever
moving, who can
be expected to
know ? I really
should teach him
to dance-•”

Barbara
laughed.

“ He’s about
the best dancer
in London,” she
said, “ and some

day he is going to teach me. But last night we hadn’t time,

as we had more than usual to say. Isn’t it funny, you never

get to the end of the things you have got to say to people
whom you —like ? ”

"That’s why I am going on,” observed Milly, “not that it is
funny, considering how many things happen which must be dis¬
cussed both before and after. Oh! there’s mother. She looks as
if she was looking for me to tell me what we’re going to do
to-night. Wasn’t it dreadful? Aunt Agatha was giving a party

with theatre, but a wheel came off her motor yesterday, and it sat

down like a cat in the middle of the road, and they all got
jumbled up inside it, and Uncle Christopher kicked Aunt Agatha
in the face, so that she’s got one black eye and one blue one
like a Welsh collie. I went to see her this morning, and she
thought she had better not go out to-day, as people would think
that she and Uncle Chris had been fighting, and the papers

u'ould say that she looked very quaint and charming with her
different-coloured eyes. So that’s off, and mother’s come out to
cadge for another invitation. She cadges too divinely, and always
manages to get hold of the nicest thing that is on. Oh, there’s
Florrie Ormesby. I do think she is silly! She wouldn’t go to
the Brackenburys’ last night because she was asked at the last
moment, and she thought it sounded better to say that she
was engaged, which wasn’t the least true. If I had nothing to
do, I would go to dinner even if I was asked when dinner
was half-over, wouldn’t you? And then on Saturday we both
go down to Goring for the week-end, don’t we? That will be
lovely, so let’s get somebody to pray for wet weather, because
it always does the opposite. And now for one minute before

I join mother.
Who is she talk¬
ing to ? I can
only see a rather
nice shoulder.
You shall tell me
about your Dick.
Is he just as
satisfactory as
ever ? ”

But even that
one minute was
denied Barbara,
for, at the mo¬
ment, the man
talking to Lady
Berringer turned
round.

“Why, ' it’s
Mr. Morris,” said
Milly, in a de¬
tached sort of
voice. There
had been recog¬
nition on the
other side also,
and Jack Morris
advanced to-
wards the two
girls. He did
not slouch, with
bent shouhh rs
and hand in
pocket, like most
young men who
are not cads; lie

and held it in
his hand, which

guished him

he was dressed
with immaculate
corre c t n e s s —
with cloth - top¬
ped boots, top-
hat, and morning tail-coat, instead of flannels and a straw-
hat. To crown that light, boyish figure, he had a clean¬
shaven face of extreme pleasantness, and a thick crop ol
dark curly hair. Any one of her friends who had the good
fortune to be so handsome might have looked nearly exactly
like him, but none of them would have looked quite like
him. There was, both in his face and manner, the con¬
sciousness of being correctly clad and politely mannered; the
rest, though they might not have been nearly so correct or
polite, would not have been conscious of what they were.
He did not yet take it for granted that he must be “ all
right ” because he happened to be himself; he was aware
that he was all right, and his consciousness of that made
him all wrong.

“ He looks like a draper’s assistant out for a holiday!” thought
Milly to herself, consciously steeling herself to mercilessness ; and

Milly might have made an icy rejoinder, when he suddenly
left her side, vaulted the rails, and ran out into the middle of
the Row. A small ragged child had realised it was lost in
that immensity, and had sat down to cry, regardless of horses
that cantered to right and left of it. One had just spurted
a hoof-full of loose earth into its face; that was the immediate
cause of tears. Jack ran out into the middle of the Row,
picked up the wailing bundle and carried it back into safety.
Millie loved seeing that. He had forgotten his immaculate
clothes—himself for the moment, and setting it down he gave

it some small
coin from his

pocket.

“Oh, Mr.
Morris, that was

she began.

and yet the moment afterwards
he had found it just as natural
to say those dreadful tilings
about the “ soiled cuff.” Soiled, too! Who said “ soiled ”
except the people who said “carriage-sweep” and “genteel ” !
Perhaps he would say “genteel” next: Milly felt hers elf
almost wishing that he would. It would strengthen her sense
of his impossibility.

They dined that night at Bertram's, and it did not require
any experienced housekeeper to see that the dinner was
clearly ordered to be as expensive as a dinner could be. Every¬
thing that was not in season loaded the groaning board,
bouquets of fabulous orchids lav by the plates of both his guests.
Milly was not hungry, nor, it appeared, was Lady Berringer,
and course after course was sent away untouched by them.
A grove of wine - glasses stood at the right baud of each
place, and a bewildering variety of vintages went on their re¬
jected rounds. The Berringers had been rather late to begin

with, and, • judging by the stately and interminable procession
of dishes and bottles, it seemed likely that there would be little
dancing left to be done by the Russians when dinner was over.
All this, the useless, undesired expense, the ridiculous parade,
but strengthened Millie’s position in her entrenchments of veneer,
and what rendered them even more secure was the slightly
pompous pleasure of her host in his display. She had beeft

silence and endurance. It was just as
thought, and worse than she had thought: he was [iy-
“ showing off,” giving them a dinner that was as
unsuitable as it was tedious. And it appeared he
had ordered the double box at the Galaxy—a
double box for three people!

Lady Berringer had allowed herself to for.m
hopes in connection with the evening she had so
cleverly hinted at. She knew Milly would like to
dine at Bertram’s; she knew also that she would
like to see the Russian dancers, and though a
girl does not fall in love with a man because he gives
her a dinner and an entertainment, she had thought that
a kindlier scrutiny on the part of the girl might result
from it. But since she saw only as much as was visible
in Milly’s increasing aloofness, she augured ill of the
evening before dinner was half over. What she did not
see was that Milly, so to speak, was eagerly piling veneer
around her, entrenching herself against him whom she
feared and longed to welcome. And that which happened
when “Punch d la Romaine” was going on its un¬
appreciated round puzzled her still more.

everything that she had been blind to all

the evening — his pleasure in giving her the best
dinner that could be cooked, his pleasure in taking
her to a double box. In a Hash she read the
mood she had so misconstrued, and saw him

kindly, eager to please, full of hospitality, full
of the desire to give all that could be given in
these material ways. The hospitality which she
had labelled as boring, so long, so unnecessary,
suddenly took the hue of the motive that

dictated it — namely, the ancient and admirable
instinct to give your guests the best in your

power. The absurd, undesired dishes were glori¬
fied, the bouquet of orchids became radiant —
she became radiant herself, with the radiance of
contrition.

“ Oh, but I must have pineapple with the

comforting something,” she said cordially, “and

then do you think we had better get on to

see the dancing ? I have been looking for¬
ward to it so, and it was so nice of you to

ask us, Mr. Morris, and it would be such a
pity to miss a minute of it. But pineapple

sounds too lovely. And what a lovely dinner

you have given us ! And may I have just one

ing in its ice all ready to be drunk. No, not a full glass,
please, Mr. Morris, because I don’t usually drink anything
at all, and it might go to my head, which, as usual, is quite
empty! ”

Milly had suddenly become quite a different person, and,

indeed, it was lime she did. She told herself, with sober

truth, that she had accepted, or her mother had accepted,

certain hospitality, and for nearly an hour by now she had

been laying it up against her host that he had been so hospit¬
able, taunting him in her own mind with stupid ostentation.
But the reason for that which she had labelled ostentation
was clear now : he had wanted to give them the best he
could, while she, sulky goose as she was, had been despising
him for his admirable impulse.

She had been unappreciative, she had been sombre, she had been
on the point of downright rudeness. What her private reasons had
been for this fortification of herself should not have concerned
her behaviour. And all the time she had been telling herself
that it was he who was the cad 1

Undoubtedly there was a cad present, but as undoubtedly it
was not he.

Effusively she tried to make good her mean error. She would
even have smoked a cigarette after her slice of pineapple if she had
not been afraid of her mother falling in a fit. Twice he had urged
her to it (which was once too many), and she found herself wishing
to do it to please him, yet furious with him for suggesting it again
after she had said she did not smoke, which was sufficient to
make Sapphira turn in her grave. Once again she tried to entrench
herself behind veneer, not openly any longer, but only in the pri¬
vacy of her mind.

The ordinary, that is to say the well-bred, young man
might, and did often, open his cigarette-case, and say, “ Smoke,
Miss Milly?” Then she would say “No, thanks,” if circum¬
stances rendered it undesirable ; and he put it in his pocket.
But Mr. Morris handed her the cigarette-case before he took
one himself, and when she refused, urged her to reconsider. . . .
It was so different, and yet she herself had been behaving far
more atrociously.

She would have liked a quail too, a little while before, but
that he had said, as they were handed to her, that Bertram’s
alone knew how to “do” quails. Other young men would have
said, “Right oh, I’ll have yours as well. I say, waiter, bring
back those quails.” That would have been far less mannerly, but
somehow it would have been “all right.” But when Jack Morris
said that Bertram's alone knew how to “do” quails,” she felt she
would rather have starved than taken one of those plump and
pathetic little fowls.

Yet already she minded that he was not like the rest, and
she wondered why she should mind. . . . And she strove to
rectify her minding by drinking champagne, which she detested. . . .
And she detested him for having been the cause of her making
this amende for her own rudeness. . . . And then she forgave him
because he was so kind, and her own youthful soul went out to
him because he was so kind and had taken such trouble for
her. . . . And she did not want to miss one moment of the
Russian dancing, and yet would have sat in the restaurant for
hours if it pleased hint. Yet if they went there at once, they would
be pompously escorted to the great double box! How silly it
was, when three stalls would have done quite as well! But how-
kind !

They arrived in time for the dancing, and as they passed rather
conspicuously by the side of the crowded stalls to get to their
box, Milly recognised a dozen friends, and was aware that she
and Jack Morris were being made a target for conversation. They
had got somehow parted from her mother in the crush at the
doors, which made their appearance more conspicuous, but
she gave but little thought to that, for as they sat in the
large box and watched the incomparable dancing, it seemed
to her that she was in a very- queer and self - contradictory
frame of mind.

She found herself vexed and annoyed with her host, and
impatient with herself for being either, and contrite for. her
own misbehaviour, not only because it was always a pity from
reasons of self - respect to be so peevish, but because she
had, up to a certain point, disappointed him at the ill-success
of what he had so delightedly planned. Then, it is true, she
had hastened to repair her unmannerly error, but she had
repaired it with a sense of grudge against him for having betrayed
her into her impropriety. All the time, too, the beautiful dancing
was going on, and she, usually so absorbed in such spectacles,
was giving it but the scantiest attention, owing to these other
preoccupations.

But, had she known it, the state of mind which she
thought so complicated w-as really capable of being summed
up in a couple of words. Barbara would have told her the
true nature of what she was beginning to feel, without the
smallest difficulty, and Milly would certainly have denied it.

She rigorously directed her attention to the stage, where a
bacchanal dance, wild, joyous, and Pagan, was going on, and it
was a moment from the dead days of Greece made to live again,

a revivification from the dells of Parnassus. The maiden, wild

as a faun of the woods, half shunned, half abandoned her¬
self to the godlike youth ; she ran from him, only to return
the more swiftly to his encircling arms ; she was troubled at his
eager gestures, only to lose herself again in the intoxication of
the dance. How was it that she both shunned and yearned
for him ? What cord pulled her ? He was rough, perhaps—not
of the same daintiness and delicacy as herself, and yet she could
not choose but dance.

He, brown, beautiful, and vigorous, with burning eye and

curly, low - growing hair, was utterly absorbed in her, in
the grace and beauty of her; his movements, his gestures,
were but the plastic image of his young heart’s eagerness

He was like somebody she knew, with his strong brown
face. . . . And even as she thought that, she saw Jack’s
profile close to her, outlined against the light of the stage.
And with a nervous involuntary movement she closed her
hand on one of the strange and exotic flowers of her bouquet,
crushing it.

But not even yet, though her heart knew the path that lay
before her, which she must inevitably tread, did she yield herself
to the summons, or betray that it had come ; and if her state of
mind was bewildering to herself, it was no less bewildering to
him. She had the moods of an April day, and, except to the
curiously inaccurate observation of poets, these moods are not
always tender and charming. Gleams of delicious sun, no doubt,
were there, and the sense of spring, and buds ; but there was
no doubt about the occasional presence also of east wind and
cold plumping showers. In the ever-quickening whirl of London
life they had often come together, now perhaps for a moment only,
to touch hands and be carried away in divergent streams ; while
on other days they would be meeting from morning till morning
again.

A typical example of this April weather occurred some weeks
after the evening at the Russian dances. The less vernal aspect
of it had been ir. evidence all day, and Jack, when he went
rather gloomy and Bvronic, from dinner to the dance,

where he knew lie would meet her, was not very sanguine as

to the probability of pleasant weather ahead. More than once
during dinner he had seriously considered whether he should go
to the dance or not, and thought, poor fellow, that it was in
his power to stop away if he chose, whereas in reality lie was

utterly incapable of doing so. She had made him miserable

all day, and yet there was nothing in the world so desirable
as being made miserable by her, except being made happy
hy her.

But the worst of all was when she treated him kindly in the
wrong way, with even politeness and apparent interest in his
conversation, as if he had been some sort of mildly distinguished
stranger. He had suffered much in the role of distinguished
stranger all day, and, as has been said, had thought of absenting
himself this evening. But his absence took the form of arriving
at the dance the first ol all the guests.

There had been a dinner-party there, and Milly, as he knew, had
been of it. As he entered the room, sonorously announced, she
was talking to some man, but got up in the middle of a sentence,
it seemed, leaving an astonished auditor, as if to show that she
was quite at leisure. He shook hands with his hostess, and came
over to her.

“Ah, that’s what I like,” she said. “Most people come so
dreadfu”, late, and one only dances for an hour or two. Oh, it has
been such a dull dinner! ”

“And may I have the first?” asked he.

“ Why, of course. You asked me yesterday. Did you think I
had forgotten ?”

Milly, the wretch, knew she had behaved atrociously to him all
day, making him suffer for the strange perplexity and bewilder¬
ment that was seething within her. She knew, too, that with
a word or two, with just a little natural friendliness, she could
make him forget her tiresomeness, and in addition could make
herself forget it. But on this occasion she had to chant down a
little first.

“ I thought you might have forgotten,” he said. “ I didn’t know
what to think.”

She flushed.

“ Oh, it’s so often best not to think at all,” she said.

“ One can’t always completely empty one’s head,” said he. “ I,
f/’ISlI thought perhaps I had displeased you in some way.”

Ojiiy She looked at him with a shade of deprecation.

“ Will it be sufficient if I tell you that you haven’t ? ” she asked,
“ or do you want me to apologise ? ”

He laughed; the cause of his having thought he might have
'> displeased her need not be gone into. She evidently knew as

£'! y'i; well as he.

“I only want you to come and dance,” he said. “The band
has begun.”

Milly drew on her gloves very hurriedly.

“ We mustn’t waste a minute,” she said.

Though Jack had been the actual first to arrive, other
guests had followed thick and fast, and the ball-room was just
full enough when they got there. There were enough couples to
people it, but not enough to crowd it, and they slid off on to
a roomy and
perfect floor.

great gay tune was possessed by it, too; music and movement
were welded and mingled together; there was nothing else in
the world but melodious motion. . . . Then all the harmoni¬
ous threads gathered themselves up into a swift coda, and
the dancers were face to face again, standing on the dark,
shining floor.

“I enjoyed that,” said Millv, quite gravely.

“May we do it again at once?” asked he.

The light-footed hours whirled by, and as they passed, they
noiselessly and unceasingly beat down the barrier that lay between
the two. Sometimes the ordinary exigencies of polite society
separated them, and, strangely absent-minded, they danced with
other partners, but again and again they came together. Once or
twice the ball-room was too full to suit the fastidiousness of their

swiftness, and they sat together on the stairs, talking in nowise
differently from the babble of tongues that went on round them,
but feeling, each of them, that the little common topics of every
day were luminous, lit from within. And dawn was bright in
the sky overhead and the sparrow's were chirruping when Lady
Berringer made her ultimatum, and they waited all three of them
in the porch for her carriage to detach itself from (he string and
come up to the door.

“And you are leaving London to-morrow—to-day, rather,” he
said, “ for the Sunday ? ”

“ Yes ; I wish I wasn’t! ”

“ So do I.”

“ I shall be back by lunch-time on Monday,” said she. “ If
you’ve nothing to do-”

And her smile quivered as she gave him her hand.

Milly was spending her week-end at the home of her friend
Barbara, and after dinner
that night the two girls
detached themselves front
the rest of the party, w’ho
were settling down to post¬
prandial pursuits, for a twi¬
light ramble in the garden.
The sun had set, but
reflection of the long
day of midsummer
still lingered in
dusky crimson in
the w'est, while
overhead the stars
were just beginning
to burn dimly in
the vault of violet
ue. Below the
house stretched
a long terrace
with stone
balustrade and
paved walk,
looking on to
an oblong
formal lake,
and across that
more steps
and statues
glimmered be¬
low the shade
of forest-trees,
and in the
thicket round
them birds
chirped their
f 1 u t e-1ike
notes, and bats
were begin¬
ning to wheel
and flutter in
the thickening
dusk.

As ye t,
Milly had
neither had op¬
portunity—nor,
indeed, felt in¬
clination — to
confide in her

friend about that which had come to birth in her heart, for as
yet it had been but a shy, wild inmate there ; but this even¬
ing she felt, as the spell of the serene quiet grew upon her,
that it might easily be that she would find herself telling
Barbara about it. Yet it was hard to begin. Hitherto, the only
opinions they had exchanged about Jack were concurrent as
to his handsome face, and the fact of his being not quite —
quite. . . . All that seemed now too absolutely shallow to
Milly. The two had wandered some way from the house,
and at length sat down at the end of the terrace above the
formal lake.

Usually it was Milly who did most of the conversation; to-night
she was the more silent. Barbara, moreover, had a good deal to

•Mac

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, June 18, 1910. -978

say, and as that was tending in the direction that Milly wished, she
retrained from interruption.

"It's so funny to think that I used to consider myself happy,”
she said, " before Dick and I began to know each other. I really
did consider myself happy, just as you do, Milly. But it wasn’t
happiness at all, comparatively. It’s so odd, having gone on
twenty years without him, suddenly to find that I can’t get on
without him at all. He has got on longer than that, because
he's twenty-five. Isn’t it convenient, too, that he wants to live
to eighty, while I think seventy-five will be enough. We’ve
arranged to live till then, and die together 1 Yes. Oh, I do so

thing else is such a dreadful waste of time. But when you

“ Oh, is that all ? ” she said. “ I thought for the moment that
you were going to say that something dreadful had happened to
him. But I am sorry.”

Barbara put her head a little on one side, like a bird listen¬
ing, which was a habit of hers when she considered a new
idea. There had been unfeigned sincerity in Milly’s anxiety and
in her relief.

"And if something dreadful had happened to him?” she asked.

Milly was silent a moment.

“ You’ve guessed ! ” she said.

Barbara for the moment forgot all about the financial ruin and
trouble ahead. True to her own dictum, she felt nothing mattered
but one thing.

“Oh, but how exciting!” she said. “And is that why
you were so patient with all my talk? Oh, Milly! Are you

all is the nicest, just being. Is it a bore, darling, my talking
like this?”

“Not the least,” said Milly. “Go on!”

" Well, do get somebody to fall in love with, and then
you can talk too. Probably we shall both talk together
and neither listen, which is so pleasant. There are lots
of men you know who are fond of you. There's Lord
Wroxham, for instance, though, of course, he's rather old,

and there’s Jack Morris, though, of course, he’s not quite-

Oh. isn't it dreadful about him ? Somebody told me at
dinner.”

Milly felt her breath catch in her throat.

"What about him?” she asked quickly. "What is it?”

“ His father. Hadn’t you heard ? There has been a smash
in the City, and Mr. Morris is ruined. They say it is one
of the most frightful collapses there has ever been ! ”

Milly gave a great sigh of relief.

ing, too, and his tone is nice. At least you think so now,
don’t you ?”

Milly gave a long sigh.

“ Nice 1 ” she said. “ What absurd words you use! As if you
could think of the Person as nice. Why, it’s He, and there is
no more to be said."

“ Darling, that’s just it.” said Barbara appreciatively. “ I
should have thought just the same if you had asked me if Dick
was nice. But about this smash. What will you do?”

“Oh, that!” said Milly, “I don't know at all. About
him, now. Barbara, jus'. think that only a little while ago I
thought he wasn’t . . . quite ! Just fancy 1 Shall I tell

Before Milly went back to town on Monday she had
learned that the financial ruin of Jack's father was believed
to be complete. He had been speculating wildly for months

past; had lost heavily at first, and, in hopes of retrieving
his losses, had made further inroads on his fortune. Then
apparently he had changed his tactics, and had turned bear,
believing that worse times were yet to come. Simultaneously,
a rise in his shares began, good times came for others, and the
worse for him.

It was probable that he was absolutely ruined.

Lady Berringer, as she read what the papers had to say about
it all on her way up to town on Monday, felt vaguely grateful
to Providence, much as she might have felt grateful if she or
Milly had been likely to travel by some train which had had a
dreadful accident, but had not done so. She was quite sorry
for those who had been hurt (killed, socially speaking), but felt
that it was indeed fortunate that Milly had not paid more
attention to her advice, for she was in the position, so to speak,
of having urged her to travel by that particular train, as
being a very comfortable and pleasant mode of
travelling.

‘‘Quite terrible,” she said to Milly,
as they drove back to Curzon
Street, “ and this time it ought
to be a lesson to us all.”

“ What about ? ” asked
Milly.

“A lesson,” re¬
peated Lady Ber¬
ringer, finding she
really did not

Lady Berringer, when she went out half an hour later to
fulfil a plethora of engagements, was quite satisfied that Jack
should linger and talk to the two girls in her absence.
Barbara was so nearly married that she would do quite well
as a chaperon, especially since there was nothing in the

situation which called for chaperonage. Jack Morris, also, had
behaved with such unaffected simplicity that it was impos¬
sible not to wonder whether Milly’s estimate of him as a
cad had been quite correct, since it was hard to imagine any¬
one but a thorough (not perfect) gentleman possessing such
well-bred tranquillity. Perhaps, so she thought, he was one
of those people who always show the best of themselves in try¬
ing circumstances, and she did him the justice to allow that
these circumstances were very trying indeed, for there was no
doubt that he was very fond of Milly, who, of course, now
was more than ever out of his reach. But had she

known that, a very few minutes after her own
departure, Barbara had followed her out

house, her satisfaction might
been ever so slightly tinged
ith anxiety.

“ I suppose I ought
to go too,” said he, as
the door closed be¬

“No; why
should you ? ”

standing, how¬
ever, as if to
make it easy
for him
to go.

“ Then

he said.
“ And will

“ Ah,

she.

He came a step
closer to her.

him, though I shall be delighted to give him a good meal,
poor fellow! ”

Milly laughed : her sense of internal happiness dominated the
situation.

“Darling mother,” she said, “you speak as if he was actually
starving—Barbara is coining too.”

In spite of Lady Berringer’s forecast. Jack came to lunch, and
in the most natural manner, quietly and simply, he referred to his
father’s ruin.

“It’s impossible to say yet exactly what the final result will
be,” he said. “ He expects to have, perhaps, a couple of hundred
a year left.”

“Dear me, dear me,” said I.ady Berringer. “A parlour-maid,
I suppose, and semi-detached in some county town. Very dis¬
tressing, Mr. Morris. I was so sorry when I heard. Shall we go
in to lunch ? Milly, darling, you don’t expect anybody else except
Barbara, do you? 1 shall have to run away immediately after!”

His glance and hers met for a
moment, and it was as if an electric
shock had passed through Milly, leaving
her alert and tingling.

“Why so?” she asked.

“Because I am robbed of the chance
of the only real wish of my life coming true,” he said.

Again their eyes met , again her look buttered and fell
before his.

“Tell me, then,” she said.

“ Only that I hoped that some time—some time, perhaps—
you might get to care for me. I—I don’t mean that wealth
would make any difference—oh, I say it so badly—but—but a
man can’t offer a girl nothing but himself. He must offer her
a home, all that she has been accustomed to. I am going to
work, of course, but I shall be poor, perhaps, for a long while.
I have nothing to offer. So won’t you tell me you are sorry ?
Just that?”

This time Milly’s eyes were steady on his.

“ No, I am not sorry,” she said.

There was one moment’s pause.

“Oh, don’t you see?” she asked.

But it took Lady Berringer a long time to see.

LADIES’ PAGE.

T O-DAY the half-mourning for the late King is to be
started by the general public, but it is only to last
for two weeks, and so many tints are included in the
range considered to fill the description that few ladies
will find it necessary to obtain fresh dresses for the
intermediate period. The members of the Royal Family
have received the King’s orders to take no part in any
public events for six months from the demise of the late
King, and so all their engagements are cancelled until
November. The ladies about the Court will wear grada¬
tions of mourning for several months more ; but for the
community at large, the tribute of regret and respect as
symbolised by black attire is considerately shortened. At
the smart weddings that have recently taken place, it
was the King’s desire that deep mourning should not be
worn, and white, grey, heliotrope, and black-and-white
were adopted sufficiently to prevent the gloom of un¬
relieved blacks making the brides feel depressed.

Lady Maidstone is extremely pretty, and her white
wedding suited most of her bridesmaids too. The wedding-
gown was a Princess of white satin, draped over with white
Ninon-de-soie; it was cut in front as a long tunic, going
off to a sharp point at the feet so as to show the under¬
skirt covered with a deep flounce of lovely old point
d’Angleterre ; the same fine lace was used as a yoke,
and as folds over the top of the arm by way of sleeve
draperies; then there was a long, square-cut train of
gold-brocaded white satin. The lace veil fell far down
She back only, clear tulle being over the face ; and the
bridal wreath, a flat garland laid right across the
middle of the head, concealed the junction of the lace
and the tulle. It was all very elegant and uncommon,
and the same description may be applied to the brides
maids’ costumes. These were of mediaeval plainness
and tightness; the material was white chiffon over satin,
with square cape - like backs, fixed by Marguerite
daisies, the bride’s name-flower, on the shoulders and
at the ends of the tunics on the underskirts. The
bridesmaids’ heads were covered by Juliet caps com¬
posed only of the interwoven stalks of the daisies, laid
over and fixing on the tulle veils that fell down their
backs, with a cluster of the flowers over each ear and
a line of the blossoms continued round the back of
the coiffures.

The latest, and it is fondly expected the greatest,
procession of women to ask for votes is to gather on
the Embankment at five o’clock to-day (June 18), and
make its way to the Albert Hall and Kensington Town
Hall for speeches at 8.30; so it is expected of the pro¬
cessionists to be on foot for over three hours. The
procession will be two miles long, and will take over an
hour in passing any given point. In this effort the
"old” Woman’s Suffrage Society takes no part; for
it has adopted a membership "test” requiring all
who belong to the Society to pledge themselves not to

WALKING - DRESS.

co-operate either by money or personal support with anv
other group of workers for the same end. This has excluded
from its membership some of the oldest workers for the
vote ; but perhaps it is as well to have one organisation
to which those can adhere who fix their hopes entirely
upon continued quiet agitation, such as has gone on for
the last forty-two years without success. However, the
" old ” society, under Mrs. Fawcett, has now given its
adhesion to a new proposal to abandon the claim which
has always been made during those past years—namely,
" the vote for women on the same conditions as it is, or
may be, given to men ”—and has decided to support a
Bill that would exclude from the vote women qualified
as owners of property (surely the very ones whose claim
is the most irrefragable), as well as University graduates,
lodgers, and several other classes of women holding the
qualifications that would entitle them to vote if they
were men. To leave without a vote the lady who owns
property and perhaps administers a vast estate, and give
it to every labourer and servant man in her employ, is
surely the most glaring and unjustifiable sex-disability—
except, perhaps, that of the University degree qualification.

Lucky are the people who are now planning a Swiss
tour ! The glorious snow-clad mountains, the lovely lakes,
the Alpine meadows starred with flowers, the splendid
freshness of the air. make Switzerland a quite ideal place
for a holiday, aed the best starting-point and centre is
undoubtedly Lucerne. Here some weeks may be happily
spent, in ascending the neighbouring great mountains
and visiting glaciers and enjoying the restful beauty of
the green Lake; while the charm of the visit is greatly
enhanced by the existence at Lucerne of the world-famous
Schweizerhof Hotel. It is a model in its good manage¬
ment and perfect appointments ; the table is generously
catered for, the cooking first-rate, and the personal
management of the proprietors ensures the comfort of
every visitor. The situation of the Schweizerhof Hotel
at Lucerne, too, is ideal; it faces the lake, from which
it is separated only by the fashionable promenade.

Heat and bright sunshine are trying to the com¬
plexion, and so the offer is very seasonable that is
made by Messrs. M. Beetham and Son, Cheltenham,
to send any of my readers who may apply (enclosing
threepence for packing and postage) a free sample of
that excellent skin tonic, the well - known “ Lait
Larola,” and also of the firm’s soap and toilet powder.
" Lait Larola ” contains all the ingredients calculated
to refresh the face and to keep the delicate skin of
the complexion bright, clear, and healthy.

Ladies and children require delicate medicaments,
and nothing suits them belter as a domestic remedy for
occasional use than the old-established " Dinneford’s
Fluid Magnesia.” It is no secret drug, but the most
convenient and elegant preparation to be obtained of a
drug prescribed by all physicians for indigestion, acidity,
sickness, etc., while, added to lemon-juice, it makes a
delicious cooling summer drink. FlLOMF.NA.

NIGHT AND MORNING.

“ ''T'MIE NIGHT BRINGS COUNSEL”—nothing

JL is truer, and if the counsel be wise, the
morning will bring with it ease and calm, and a
better frame of mind altogether. It is, however,
only indirectly of the mind that it is desired to
speak now; the counsel offered primarily concerns
the body which enshrines it, and whose joys
and sorrows it shares to the full. But what affects
one is inevitably reflected upon the other. Sleep, for
instance, is indispensable
to both, and who, having
experience of insomnia,
would ignore a valuable
auxiliary in the wooing of
sweet and natural slum¬
ber ? It is just during
the night that the mouth
becomes a cavity venti¬
lated only through the
nose—not taking into ac¬
count those who sleep with
open mouths—and it is
not washed by the recur¬
ring saliva bath as in the
day - time. These condi¬
tions are most favourable
to decomposition, and after
a night's rest it is not
surprising that the mouth
should feel unpleasantly
“ stale.”

But, unfortunately, very
few people fully realise
how serious this mouth stagnation is. We ought
specially to guard against septic deterioration,
and to begin early in life to guard against it,
and the selection of the right preparation with
which to effect the necessary purification is. of

course, a very important matter. Tooth powders
or pastes are inadequate for the purpose, because
the parts most liable to attack, the hacks of the
molars and the fissures and interstices in and
between the teeth—the very parts where the harm¬
ful microbes live and thrive—are not purified, for
the simple reason that they cannot be reached by
such things as powders or pastes. Only a liquid
dentifrice can penetrate these minute crevices, and
to do its work effectively it must be an antiseptic
preparation whose action is gentle and continuous.

Odoi, the well - known
dentifrice and mouth-wash,
is such a preparation, for
during the process of rins¬
ing it penetrates every¬
where, reaching the cavities
of the teeth, the interstices
between them, and the
backs of the molars, des¬
troying bacteria wherever
generated. Odoi alone
can produce this effect,
which is principally due
to a peculiar property
which causes it to be
absorbed by the mucous
membrane of the gums,
so that they become im¬
pregnated with it.

The immense import¬
ance of this altogether
unique property should be
fully appreciated, for while
all other preparations for
the cleansing and the protection of the teeth act
only during the few moments of their application,
Odoi leaves a microscopically thin, but thoroughly
effective antiseptic coating on the surface of the
mucous membrane and in the interstices of the

teeth, which maintains its protective influence
for hours after the mouth has been rinsed with it.

It is this lasting effect that gives to daily users of Odoi
the absolute assurance that their mouths are perma¬
nently protected against the process of decomposition,
which, if not arrested, inevitably destroys the teeth.

—first thing in the morning.

It is well to remember that it is as necessary to
prolect and cleanse artificial teeth as it is to safeguard
those provided by Nature, and that Odoi is just as
effective in one case as in the other. The artificial
teeth should be dipped and rinsed every night in a
tumbler of water, in which a few drops of Odoi have
been shaken, and by rinsing the mouth also with the
Odoi before replacing them not only is complete
purification assured, but the gums are also rendered
firm, hard, and healthy. Smokers, too, find nothing so
pleasant and effectual as Odoi for removing the odour
of tobacco from the breath and cleansing the palate.

Nevvlands, Petvvorth, writes:

“ Lady Firbank wishes to state that the Wulfing’s Formamint
tablets have completely cured her throat, which owing to
Influenza, had been left weak and often most painful. She
consulted some of the first specialists in London, one of whom
recommended Wulfing's Formamint and with the most
undeniable benefit. This was early in 1908, since when, by
taking three or four tablets daily, she has experienced no
further throat trouble, and she also considers the tablets a great
and almost certain preventive of ordinary infectious colds.”

fshe (Sfjief Medical Officer

of one of the largest Infectious Diseases Hospitals in

” I have never had a sore throat myself since I began to use
Wulfing’s Formamint, although I suffered periodically before.”

THE CURE FOR SORE THROAT

“ Wulfing's Formamint.

“ That’s what I use whenever I get Sore Throat or loss of voice.

“ Why ? Because my doctor prescribed it for me as the best and
quickest cure for these complaints and my experience has proved
the accuracy of his views.”

Sore Throat and Tonsillitis, as everyone knows, are caused by
germs which float constantly in the air and are thus inhaled. You
are therefore as liable to get these diseases in warm weather as in
cold; more so, because of your greater liability to get chilled when
overheated or sitting in draughts, and chills render the body
susceptible to the attacks of germs.

Wulfing’s Formamint contains the greatest destroyer of germs known to
Science. Dissolved in the saliva, it reaches the remotest parts of the
throat and kills all the germs it meets. That is why it is so perfect a cure for
these complaints.

PREVENTS INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Other diseases—like Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Measles, Mumps, and
Whooping Cough—resemble Sore Throat in being due to germs which
multiply in the mouth and throat and produce their specific complaint,
unless destroyed before they do so.

Wulfing’s Formamint destroys such germs rapidly' and completely, thus
preventing these diseases. Beware, however, of useless substitutes, many of
which are now on the market. Wulfing’s Formamint alone insures protection.

SCIENCE JOTTINGS.

THE LATE DR. KOCH.

r HE recent demise of Dr. Robeit Koch
offers a fitting opportunity of bear¬
ing testimony to the great work which
science is able now and then to accom¬
plish in the sphere devoted to the re¬
pression of disease and to the improve¬
ment of the curative measures undertaken
for the saving of life from the physical
ills which beset us. Dr. Koch’s history,
besides, forms an excellent example of
the patient and strenuous search after
truth such as characterises the true dis¬
ciple of science in every age. He may
be well described in the ordinary language
of the day as having been a self-made
man. He began life as a country prac¬
titioner, an existence which certainly
offers little inducement towards original
research and little opportunity for carry¬
ing out investigation, even if the requisite
prompting spirit be there. Is there not

death. There are numerous pieces of
research to be accredited to Koch’s
earlier days of work, but his magnum
opus will always be associated in the
minds of public and scientists alike,
with the discovery in 1882 of the bacillus
to the attack of which on the bodies
of men and certain kinds of animals
the disease known as “tuberculosis”
is due. “ Consumption,” of course, is
the popular equivalent of the technical
appellation.

To realise adequately what Koch’s
discovery of the cause of tuberculosis
meant, we have to go back in medical
history, but not a great way in truth.
Consumption was an inherited disease.
There was little chance of escape, it
was held, from the influence of parental
taint. Then, once developed, consump¬
tion was regarded as an incurable dis¬
ease. The environment of the patient

a something which makes for victory in the character of
the man who fights and overcomes obstacles such as met
Koch at the beginning of his career? And may not the
hard, practical training of the German medical schools also
be credited with providing the ways and means and foster¬
ing the interests such as lead a man to set his face steadily
towards discovering the great truths presented by his work?

Be these things as they may, it is well even pour
encourager les autres to dwell on what Koch did and on
what he accomplished for humanity's well - being. We see
the country doctor busy with his microscope, and I doubt
not many of his patients and acquaintances may have thought
he was the less satisfactory a physician because he was
primarily a scientific man. The like opinion is often ex¬
pressed at home. Pie was intent from the first on bacterio¬
logical work. The “germ theory” had obsessed him in the
sense that he regarded the knowledge of the causes of dis¬
ease, such as that theory postulated, as the head and front of
medical research. Means and modes of microbe - culture
were praciised by him till his technical skill was of ade¬
quate kind. All this was preparatory work, and led with
greater ease to the detection of the real agents whose
nefarious action on the living body resulted in disease and

stantaneous action in developing the beauty, colour, and
luxuriance of the hair is concerned. A week’s trial of
“ Harlene Hair Drill ” convinces everyone of the almost
magical effect of the new method in grow¬
ing new hair upon bald or thin places, in

faded hair, in removing scurf, in increasing
the lustre and glossy luxuriance of “ woman’s
crowning glory.” You try “Harlene Hair

sequently, vou are never troubled in the

ness of the scalp or hair.

The hair of the Englishwoman is the most
beautiful in the world. “ It is full of hidden
sunshine.”

But the sunshine is only revealed when
it is properly cared for and cultivated

“ Nowadays, every man and woman who
desires either to preserve or enhance the
luxuriance and attractive appearance
of his or her hair must give it a thorough
shampooing once or twice every week.” This Hurtling,
though absolutely true, statement has recently been
made by the leading living authority on Hair Culture, a
gentleman who studied the subject all his life, and who
numbers amongst his clients many of the most beautiful
women and cultivated men in present-d iy Society.

The Average Shampoo Time-Table.

In the opinion of Mr. Edwards, the eminent discoverer
of Harlene-for-the-Hair and of the Harlene “ Hair Drill,”
the average Shampoo time-table should be as follows :

For those who live in the country, once a week.

For those who live in the towns, twice a week.

By following this toilet-practice regularly, week in

and week out, any man or woman who lives either in the.
country or in the town can grow luxuriant and beautiful
hair, free from all weakness, greyness, discoloration, or
the slightest sign of Baldness.

Beautiful Hair is Shampooed Hair.

Really Beautiful Hair is cleansed hair.

was calculated to foster the ailment. We know that now. Hot
rooms and little or no fresh air represented the surroundings amid
which the growth of the bacilli was actually encouraged towards
a fatal issue. Above all, nobody knew the cause of this wasting
disease, and ignorant of cause — as to-day, unhappily, we are in
the case of cancer—all attempts at treatment represent simply the
practice of firing in the dark. Koch’s announcement that he
had discovered the bacillus to the presence of which tuberculosis
was due altered everything. It became clear later, in the study i
of the microbe and its biography, that people are not born with |
the disease, that they cannot come into the world tubercle - bearers

even if their parents
are affected. Each case
was seen to be a
case of infection. The
patient acquires con¬
sumption ; it is not
bred in him. Hence
came the search into
the ways of infection.

It was shown that
infection mostly comes
from bacilli which have
been coughed up from
lungs, and, not killed by

Then came Koch’s further researches. He thought he had made
it clear that human infection from milk was impossible because the
bovine bacillus was not of precisely the same strain as the human
microbe. I remember hearing Koch expound this view at the great
Tuberculosis Congress in London, and I recollect the wave of sensa¬
tion which passed over that assembly when he contended that in¬
fected milk had no power to originate the disease in man. This view
is not held universally to-day, and experiment seems to negative
Koch’s opinions. We still keep a watchful eye on our milk-supply.
But, even leaving out Koch’s researches on the cholera bacillus, on
anthrax, and on tuberculin, he will be accorded a place amongst
the great discoverers.

recognised, and tuberculous meat has
also had the credit, or discredit, of serv¬

knowledge of what tuberculosis is, and
how' infection comes, has led to the

power of a clear, cold, germless atmo¬

render the bodily soil unfit to harbour

and the open - air cure was both justi¬

the fact that, in the girl at least, the dramatist seems to
be choosing an extreme case, his play, while extremely
interesting and full of happily observed types—notice¬
ably a crafty old farmer and his son - is put together
with too little sense of art and composition. The
divergence in point of view between the home-keep¬

with his wife to join them, their very different
ideas of honesty from his own, the sense of clannish¬

his sister’s life, the brutal peasant temper which is
stined in him, when he cannot make his wife under¬
stand the blood-bond between the girl and himself—all
these things are pointed vigorously ; and the whole of
the last act is full of strong drama of a kind. But the
various threads of the scheme are not knit together

‘ REBELLIOUS SUSAN “ REVIVED AT THE CRITERION.

“The Liars” represents the high-water mark of Mr.
Henry Arthur Jones’s achievement in the comedy of
modern manners, but there is one other play of his which
gets rather near that level—“The Case of Rebellious
Susan.” And so, inasmuch as the scheme—since made
hackneyed by him—of the revolting wife and the mulish
husband and the intervening raisonneur is really treated
freshly in this instance, and the piece contains parts in
Lady Susan Harabin and Sir Richard Kato which show
off to perfection the very different but complementary
arts of Miss Mary Moore and Sir Charles Wyndham,
its revival is always welcome. The play wears un-

His humour has lost none of its droll geniality, and
if to be so is possible, he is more diverting than ever
as the lad from Yorkshire. To have to be always
funny, he has told us, is not the easiest
thing in the world : he seemed to find
no difficulty in provoking laughter on this
occasion, his new turns and business going
even better than the old. To see him
figuring as a native of Japan—of course,
in Japanese costume—in the duet he has
with Miss Olive May ; to watch him bur¬
lesquing, in company with Mr. George
Grossmith junior, the motions of the Rus¬
sian dancers, Pavlova and Mordkin, is to
recognise that in him we have the finest
natural comedian of our time. Nor is Mr.

Payne the only Gaiety artist provided with
fresh numbers. Miss Gertie Millar, always
so daipty and gay, has a new waltz in
association with Grossmith. The latter
has brought from Paris a song with a
taking refrain, which goes by the name of

Scotland for ever! The 1910 edition of
the “ABC Guide to the Highlands of

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

"■pHE demonstration afforded a party of experts the
1 other day by the Daimler Motor Company, of
Coventry, would appear to herald the reformation of
the motor-omnibus as we know it to-day. It is an
objectionable and irritating conveyance, loathed to the
uttermost except at the moment of using, when it is
the nearest and handiest form of transport. The inven¬
tor or maker who will transform it from the noisy,
lumbering, evil-smelling Juggernaut it is to a sweet,
quiet, smooth-running vehicle will merit an earldom.
So Messrs. Knight, Pieper, and Lanchester may pre¬
sently all find themselves Knights at least in respect
to the new Daimler motor-’bus just produced at the
Daimler Motor-Works, Coventry. All the old traditions
of motor-’bus construction have been left behind, wood
has been tabooed, and petrol and electricity both laid
under tribute as propulsive agents. What was essayed
some time ago with but partial success, or, at least,
popularity — namely, the fcetrole - mixtc system, has
been unified and perfected in the new Daimler ’bus.

As I have said, wood is dropped, the
whole suspended portion of the vehicle,
practically the entire body, with seating
accommodation, taking the form of a homo¬
geneous steel structure, affording a huge
increase of strength for a given weight of
material. This sheet - steel body, as to its
lower parts, also forms the frame to which
the power-units—there are two—are attached
and detached with equal facility. I have said
above that the trio of inventors had linked
petrol and electricity, which they have, for
each unit consists of a 12-h.p. four-cylinder |
Silent-Knight Daimler engine, with a dyna-
motor on the same shaft, driving directly on
to each road-wheel by means of worm-gearing.
The clashing gears, the noisy chains, and the
troublesome differential gear have vanished.
'Die under-run of the car is clear, and will
pass over a prone man, with heaps to spare.
When the engine itself exerts more power
than is required, the dynamotor becomes a
generator, and electrical energy is stored in

ART NOTES.

T HE J. M. Swan Memorial has taken shape, and by
the time Mr. Drucker’s subscription-list is closed,
there will be funds sufficient to supply the Tate Gallery
and all the more important provincial collections with re¬
presentative examples of the
great draughtsman’s work. It
has been noted that London
will have a Whistler Memo¬
rial, in the form of a statue
by Rodin, before it possesses
an adequate Whistler paint¬
ing : the Swan memorial of
Mr. Drucker’s devising- does
not depend on the genius of
M. Rodin, or any second
artist, but on the genius of
Swan. The best of his draw¬
ings are available, and the
subscriptions that are now
coming in promise a sub¬
stantial total. It is to Mr.

Drucker, by the way, that
the National Gallery owes
everything it has in the way
of modem Dutch painting.

It is obvious, from the
emptiness of the galleries,
that few people realise the
importance of the collection
of old Japanese paintings and
drawings at the Japanese-
Brifish Exhibition. It is still
more obvious that it is not
known that these untold trea¬
sures are exhibited for only a
fortnight. The English pic¬
tures, with little to commend
them, remain ; the Japanese
must be changed every two
weeks, because only in that
way can the whole of the
collections be shown in the
small space allotted them.

It is not permissible to miss
them. Whatever may have
been our minds in regard to
Eastern art, and its relaiion
to the Western practice, the
moment has come not only
for an amplification, but for
a radical change of opinion.

It had seemed so easy to have a mind in the matter: to
marvel at Hokusai; to wonder that the eighteenth-century
artists of Japan could give to a coloured wood-block the
divine, gav gravity of Piero della Francesca’s “ Baptism
of Christ”; to covet a seventeenth - century screen

covered with a flight of long-legged birds on a gold
ground. For anything much earlier than the eighteenth
and seventeenth centuries the untravelled Englishman
had vaguely referred his admirations to China; at
Shepherd’s Bush he can study ten centuries of Japanese
art, and find it at its greatest in the earlier periods.

There is no such need to warn the Londoner that the
“ Polish Rider” has given his bridle-rein a shake, soon
to leave for America, and Mr. Frick. The stream of
visitors to the Carfax Gallery has paid due homage.
The canvas compels immediate admiration: as mere

colour and pigment it must stand as a great work.
But it is much more than colour and pigment : as
a Rembrandt of a mature and mighty period it is
full of sympathy, of the invitation of the road, of
the swagger and the pathos of the traveller. It has
the importance of serious portraiture along with
the importance of a work
of romance. Its faults are
obvious, and astonishing.
The attenuated hind leg of
the horse is unlike anything
that Rembrandt ever painted
or could have been expected
to paint, for attenuation of
the sort is the error of the
amateur, and only of the
amateur. But this ill-draw¬
ing provides the element
of mystery that is seldom
lacking in pictures that
have been worth the atten¬
tion of the cleaner and
restorer. E. M.

Considerable improvements
in the services between
London and Paris via New-
haven and Dieppe were fore¬
shadowed at an important
meeting held recently in
Paris between the directors
and officers of the Brighton
Railway Company and the
directors and officers of the
French State Railways. It
was announced that the
French State Railways had
decided upon the immediate
widening of the line be¬
tween Dieppe and Paris,
via Gisors and Pontoise,
which will give an acceler¬
ation of one hour in the
service between Dieppe and
Paris. This work will be
completed early in 1912.
1 'he French State Railways
have contracted for a new
turbine steamer to be placed
in the Newhaven - Dieppe
service early next year. It
is their intention to replace
the existing twin - screw
steamers by turbine steamers. It is also contem¬
plated to put on an afternoon service between Lon¬
don and Paris, via Newhaven and Dieppe, which
will connect as well with the existing through
services to Switzerland and Italy.

the Royal Society, and the London County Council. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd of spectators as the King drove from Marlborough
House to the Palace, escorted by a detachment of the 2nd Life Guards. The bands played the National Anthem as the carriage passed into the
garden entrance of the Palace grounds.

MUSIC.

A T Covent Garden last week, M. Dalmor6s, one of
the few French tenors in the front rank, replaced
M. Franz as Samson, in Dr. Saint-Sa6ns* opera. He
was heard to great advantage, and it is to be hoped
that lie will appear as Romeo in Gounod’s opera be¬
fore the season ends, for he is one of the few men
who can do justice to the difficult and exacting part.
Debussy’s wonderful accompaniment to “ Pelleas et
Melisande ” has been revived, with M. De Vries, from
the Hague, and Mme. Edvina in the title-rdles, M.
Warnery, who was engaged to appear as Pelleas,
having been taken ill. The charm of this opera grows
with each fresh hearing ; it is unlike any other woik
in the extraordinary intimacy between the emotions of
stage and orchestra, and when the public is reconciled
to the new art-form, will surely be admitted by one and
all to the rank of a masterpiece. Nothing could have
been finer than Signor Campanini’s handling of the score.

Mr. Beecham’s long-expected Mozart Festival opens
on Monday night at His Majesty’s. Mme. Alice Verlet,
who made such a favourable impression on the concert-
platform last year, will take the part of Constance in “ II
Seraglio ” ; Mme. Agnes Nicholls will be the Countess in
“ The Marriage of Figaro”; and “ Cosi fan tutte,” the
composer’s last comic opera on the Italian model, will
complete a Mozart programme that should draw all
London. Early next month we are to hear “ Die
Fledermaus ” of Johann Strauss (1825-1899), the libretto
having Deen translated by Mr. Alfred Kalisch, whose
English version of Hoffmannsthal’s “ Elektra ” is the
best piece of work of the kind that our opera-house
knows. The “ Feuersnot ” of Richard Strauss is to be
given on Saturday, July 9; and Mr. G. H. Clutsam’s
one-act opera “ Summer Night,” based upon a story by
Margaret of Navarre, is in rehearsal.

Several remarkable concerts were given in London
last week. At the Queen’s Hall some of the greatest
musicians of our time assembled to honour the twenty-
fifth anniversary of Joseph Hollman’s first appearance in

England. The music of Dr. Camille Saint-SaSns filled
the programme, and the composer appeared at the piano
in the Quartet in B flat for piano and strings, and in a
new r work, “ La Muse et le Poete,” composed in honour
of the occasion, and written for piano, violin, and ’cello,
the last-named parts being played by Eugene Ysaye and

A DAINTY AND USEFUL COMPANION ON A MOTORING TRIP i
A MINIATURE DRESSING-BAG WITH GOLD OR SILVER FITTINGS.

Messrs. Edwards and Sons, of 161 and 159, Regent Street, W., make a
speciality of automobile accessories. Their collection of dressing-cases and
bags ranges from £5 to £250. The Illustration shows their miniature
dressing-bag (size, 8 by 6 by 4 inches), made in art shades of polished and
crushed morocco, completely fitted in gold, sterling silver, or silver-gilt.
Among their novelties, also, is a new combined tea and luncheon case, fitted
for two, four, or six persons, which, when closed, can be used as a foot-rest.

Hollman. Mile. Esta d’Argo sang several of Dr. Saint-
Saens’ songs, and the concert proved at once the popu¬
larity of the concert - giver, the extraordinary range of
the composer’s gifts, and the perfection of M. Pug no’s

response to great artists and fine music. He was heard
with Dr. Saint-Sa£ns in the Scherzo for two pianos and
in the Trumpet Septet.

Robert Schumann was born on June 8. 1810, and just
one hundred years later a commemoratcry concert was
given at the Queen’s Hall by Miss Fanny Davies, who
was one of Mme. Clara Schumann’s pupils. The Queen’s
Hall Orchestra, under Mr. Henry Wood’s direction,
assisted the concert-giver, and that gifted musician Mr.
Alfred Eyre had organised a special festival choir for the
performance of some part-songs. The great Symphony
in D minor, the A minor Pianoforte Concerto, with Miss
Davies as soloist, and the “Manfred” Overture were
the orchestral works. Miss Davies and Mme. Dessauer-
Grun played the Variations in B flat for two pianos as
the lovers of Schumann would wish to hear it. The
concert should have attracted a far larger audience.

Signor Busoni is better known as a pianist than as a
composer, but his pianoforte concerto with choral ending
was so successful at Newcastle last autumn that it was
repeated last week in London with the aid of the New
Symphony Orchestra and the Edward Mason Choir.
Busoni conducted his own concerto, and Mark Ham-
bourg played the solo part. The concerto is a long
and complicated work, and marks certain developments
in structure that cannot be dealt with in this place.
Some of the themes are of rarest beauty, the varied
rhythms are employed with fine skill and judgment, and
the whole work is modern and distinguished. Mr.
Hambourg may be said to have attacked the solo part
and to have mastered it.

The programme arranged for the Gloucester Musical
Festival included “ Elijah ” and “ The Dream of Ge-
rontius ” on Tuesday. On Wednesday it was arranged
to give, among other things, Sir Edward Elgar’s Sym¬
phony and Sir Hubert Parry’s “ Beyond these Voices
there is Peace” ; and on Thursday Strauss’s “ Tod und
Verklarung” and Verdi’s “ Requiem.” All these were
to be given in the Cathedral, while other more secular
works were to be heard in the Shire Hall.

ERUPTION FROM KNEE DOWN.

“ Previous to using Cuticura I suffered
intense pain for three years from eczema on
my leg, from the knee down. It began from
a small spot the size of a penny piece and
broke in a watery w r ay over the ankles. It
, spread rapidly to the knee. It looked like an
I eruption, the skin red and inflamed and
covered with a coating of scales. The leg
I became very swollen, with a terrible itching
and burning sensation. In this way I suf¬
fered for the three years. I assure you I
have tried all kinds of remedies and con¬
sulted several medical men. In fact, 1 tried
almost every kind of treatment one could
mention, but all to no avail. My disease
was as bad or worse than ever until 1 tried
Cuticura. After a few applications I felt
relief, and 1 continued until cured. Now,
thanks to Cuticura, I can walk about with
ease and comfort, the itching is gone and
my leg is its normal size.

“ I recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to a friend who had suffered from eczema
twenty-seven years. He has commenced the
use of Cuticura and is rapidly getting cured.

It was only in 1838 that there was founded the English Agri¬

thirty years later, in 1877, when the Society again
opened its annual exhibition in Liverpool, a site of

for the exhibits, a leading feature

extensiveness of the pro¬

perhaps, be most picturesque¬

the refreshment department

the finest specimens of live¬

feature also has been that, for the first time, vegetables have taken

many features as novel as they are possessed of real and lasting
importance. The entries of poultry constitute a record for the Show,

of this idea. So far from being a German mon¬
opoly, lager is as distinctive of and as popular
in Denmark and Scandinavia generally as in
Germany. Lager, indeed, is a beverage which
may be said to
owe nothing to its
country of origin.

To come to details,

| the difference be-
tween ordinary Eng-

India ale and lager
beer lies in the

method of brewing.

Ordinary ale is

I ! brewed at a comparatively high temperature,
which leads to the fermentation taking place
at the top of the vat, and very rapidly, so that
a relatively high proportion of alcohol is en¬
gendered and a strong beer is the result. But
—J] lager beer is brewed at a low temperature;

the fermentation takes place at the bottom of
the vat, and a cool, light, almost non-alcoholic
liquid with high nutritive constituents is the
result. Finally, such lager beer undergoes Pasteuris¬
ation, which ensures its maintenance and delivery to
the consumer in prime condition, as will be explained
below.

gauges and levers. Then follows the distinctive feat
of the manufacture of lager beer. The liquid is pum

fruit of long study to the improvement of his trade.
From him came the introduction of what is now
known as the “ Burton Union System ” of cleansing
the beer from yeast. His younger son, Mr. Andrew

Walker, having established himself in Liverpool, his
father was induced to join forces with him there,
and so to establish the now famous firm of Peter

at Warrington ; while, in 1877, an extension was
made to Burton, where the house now conducts

it was only in 1848 that the late Mr. Robert Cain, (father of the present
proprietors) commenced to brew, on a scale the smallness of which can be
gathered from the fact that he supplied beer to only one inn, of which he
held the license. But Mr.

t was formed into a pri-

1 ^ vate company consisting

of members of the founder’s
~ family. The capital of the

company is £1,000,000, con-
sisting of £500,000 Ordinary 'vl

shares, £250,000 First Prefer- ’
ence and £250,000 Second Pre¬
ference. Mr. W. E. Cain is
\ Chairman of the Board, and his
I brother, Mr. C. A. Cain, J. P.,

I Managing Director.

I A notable and, indeed, unique

feature of the firm is that its trade is wholly and strictly
private. Large as is the output of the Mersey Brewery fl
Company, it is entirely required for the trade of the inns
and hotels owned and directed by the company. In alb
the firm holds the licenses of over two hundred houses. These
are not tied houses in the conventional sense, but entirely
owned by the company, the licensed properties being registered
in the i»ame of the company, and the management in the
hands, not of tenants, but of salaried servants. This method
is considered by high police authorities to be better and in every respect
superior to the system of tenancy and occupation, for full and entire control
and complete responsibility are vested in and exercised by the company.

A distinctive characteristic of

Cain was a man of notable
distinction, of profound business
ability, shrewd judgment, ready
courage, and untiring industry.

From the high quality of the
beer he brewed came increas¬
ing business, and this inflow
was devoted to the extension
and growth of the firm. The
businesses and properties of
less progressive firms were ac¬
quired by Mr. Cain, who on his
death in 1907, had built up a
great business on the founda¬
tion he had so broadly and truly
laid sixty years before.

To keep pace with the times,
to recognise an improvement
when one saw it, and imme¬
diately to adopt it, were the
qualities which Mr. Cain once
laid down as the principles of
business success, and to the
faithful adherence to these prin¬
ciples he attributed the marvel¬
lous growth and extension of
the firm which he founded and
built up brick by brick, as it
were. To rare mental ability

and power of judgment, together with the faculty of rapid decision, he added
physical strength and endurance, which enabled him not only to conceive, but to
carry out far-reaching plans.

That policy of sound business extension and development which he laid down
has been pursued unflinchingly by his sons and successors, Mr. W. E. Cain and
Mr. C. A. Cain, as may be gathered from the fact that they recently purchased
a number of licensed properties which were absorbed by and merged in the Mersey
Brewery Company—to give the official title to Messrs. Cain’s business, which in 1896

these houses is their conveni¬
ence, good accommodation, and
handsome appearance. Old
licensed premises have been
pulled down and rebuilt in ac¬
cordance with the latest modern
ideas, to furnish the fullest ac¬
commodation and most refined
hospitality to the public. These
houses of the Mersey Brewery
Company are acknowledged to
be among the finest and best
equipped in Liverpool.

A notable fact, also, is that
these houses are all (with the
exception of four or five) situate
within a radius of seven miles
of the Brewery. They employ in
all a thousand hands, and for
their maintenance, repair, deco¬
ration, etc., the company main¬
tains an extensive Works and
Building Department, with its
own staff of masons, painters,
plasterers, plumbers, joineis, etc.

Without, as well as within,
the building of the Mersey
Brewery Company, Ltd., is worthy
of, and splendidly adapted to,
the great business of which it is the centre and power-house. A tablet, surmounted
by a bust, in relief, of the founder, records that “This foundation stone was laid by
Robert Cain, Esq., November 10, 1902.’’ In all, the erection of the building occu¬
pied between five and six years. From this spacious entrance - hall and the
general offices one passes to the handsome suite of rooms, panelled in oak,
where the directors and their principal officers carry on the management of the
business. Above is the banking department, where, once a week, attend the
managers of the firm’s two hundred houses to pay in receipts. Here, also, aflft

question —“ Say, for what we|e hop-)'ards meant?” and this feature of the
Mersey Brewery Company ados its eloquent tribute to the repute and quality
of Cain’s ales by showing how vast are the reserves it is necessary to hold
to meet the demands of the community. Nor can sufficient mention be made
of the magnificent stables, with a stud of splendid horses.

Then there is the special department where the firm stores its large
holdings of wines and spirits. These are purchased direct from growers and
distillers, and are bottled under the company's own label for the supply
of its two hundred hostelries. It is this fact that the Mersey Brewery
Company has no travellers or agents for the sale of its goods, that the firm
has no customers in the ordinary sense of the word, but that its activities
are fully occupied with meeting the needs of its own inns and hotels, which
constitutes so striking a feature, not only of the firm’s position to-day, but
also in its career of ever-growing prosperity.

That this self-contained character of the firm’s trade has not fostered
anything of that spirit of self-content which is as inimical to a com¬
mercial undertaking as to the development of individual character,
is shown by the alertness with which every new development is
adopted by the Mersey Brewery Company. As an instance might
be quoted the installation of a new type of malt - crushing machine,
which is as yet rarely found in breweries. To cultivate as well as
to meet the changing taste for lighter beverages, the Mersey
Brewery Company has recently placed on the market a light dinner
ale, which is bottled under the registered trade - mark of the Company.

THE COPPER - HOUSE.

kitchens for the provision of meals for the management and members of
the large clerical staff.

To come to the premises where the liquor is actually brewed is to realise
the extent and character of the business. Everything is of the finest, the
whole complete as well as comprehensive, and in every respect equipped
with the latest and most modern plant.

There are great stores filled with hops. It is a sight notable, its massive
tiers of pockets of hops, and it is impressive also for its relation to the
purity and quality of the beers, ales, and stouts produced by the firm.
Throughout the trade the firm is noted for its purchase of only the finest
malt and hops. To this excellence of materials is added the most perfect
apparatus, set in spacious rooms of a size, lightness, and cleanliness to be
surpassed nowhere. Instead of slopped floors and of over - running liquid,
cleanliness and regularity dominate the Mersey Brewery Company. The
copper-house has a panelled domed roof, and is walled with glazed brick,
and the spotless run of copper - pipes and the great hop - backs (each
with a capacity of 150 barrels), present a noble impression, and are signi¬
ficant of the business and its products. Not less, but more striking, are the

THE FERMENTATION - ROOM.

No description, however, would be adequate did it omit a reference to
the laboratory, whence vigilant and skilled supervision is exercised over the
brewery in every detail. Here samples of every parcel of malt and hops
entering the brewery are tested and tried and found pure and excellent before
being used, thus constituting the firm’s definitive check on the vendor’s

guarantees. Here, again, samples of every mashing are tested and proved ;

and again of the finished beer; while, yet again, independent experts are
called upon to test samples. One instance of the care everywhere exercised
is the scrupulous washing and steaming-out every day of all the pipes con¬
necting the many and different pieces of apparatus. Few people can

believe that such elaborate mechanism, such scientific supervision at
every stage of manufacture, and such scrupulous refinement and insist¬

ence on purity and excellence go to the making of that daily article of
an Englishman’s diet and refreshment — his glass of beer. But to see is
to believe, and to any member of the public Messrs. Cain and Co. will
gladly forward, on application, permits to visit and inspect the Mersey Brewery.

THE TUN - ROOM.

gigantic mash-tuns, the smallest with a capacity of 30 quarters. Here one
notes that the workmen employed in digging out the spent brewers’-grains
from the tuns are provided by the firm with white flannel costumes
for this work. It is only a little detail, but it is significant of the
thoughtfulness, not merely for the comfort of the employees, but of
the character of the business as a whole and the supreme care
which is devoted in every phase to the management of the business.
The refrigerating - rooms are three in number, and their capacity for cool¬
ing 200 barrels per hour down to fermenting temperature represents the
size of the brewery.

Then from the great collecting - vessels runs the w ort down to the tun-
room, which many brewers have declared to be the finest of its kind in
the kingdom. Here are thirty-one great vats on the upper floor and forty
on the second floor, some of eighty barrels’, others of 240 barrels’ capacity.
The largeness, lightness, and airiness of this great room, extending the
whole length of the building, with spotless floor, seem to befit a palace
rather than a factory.

Space is not left to speak of the yeast-room, with its great slate tanks;
of the bottling department, where many thousand dozens a day can be turned
out; of the cooperage department, with its work of making and repairing
casks ; of the racking - vats, each of which holds the wherewithal to fill
500 barrels; and the machines, which “rack” (or fill) 200 barrels, each of
36 gallons, per hour. Then come the amazing depths and resources of the

ACTING FOR THE KING AT LIVERPOOL

PRINCE ARTHUR. OF CONNAUGHT

v: reign’s substitute,

^ RSlf 01 r °y al r epresen-

tative—a figure growing VS ^ ■
|| f yff more and more essential to the
T&f/J proper conduct of the Ship of

•$/// State—has been one of the King’s

y/f first cares. Queen Victoria had,

'll/ perforce, to depute her eldest son
// as her representative on innumerable

1 1 // occasions; and King Edward, finding

fljl the calls upon the Crown many times
llr multiplied at his accession, often turned
II to his son, to his brother the Duke of
lj\ Connaught, and to his nephew Prince
Arthur of Connaught, for assistance in
fulfilling the thousand-and-one obliga¬
tions of his station. And now, when
not all the Georges could cope with the work
that falls on the shoulders of the fifth of the
line, the King, with no son, nor brother, nor
nephew at his side, has had recourse, in the
first place, to his uncle, and, in the second,
to his cousin of Connaught. His choice has
been restricted ; had it been a hundred times
freer he could not have found a man more
capable or more popular than Prince Arthur.
One may think vaguely of a battalion of
cousins upon whom the King might have
drawn, but, as a matter of fact, his Majesty,
although he calls all the members of the
House of Lords his trusty cousins, can look to
few men who actually bear him that relation¬
ship who are not already tied to other realms.
To Prince Arthur, then, King and country look.
The late King’s chosen envoy on many political
missions, he is not unversed in the duties that
lie before him in the new reign. The youngest
of Privy Councillors, he is old in experience
as a traveller, a diplomatist, a soldier. At
the age of nineteen he already presented the
appearance of a finished soldier from head
to foot. 1 remember then thinking that no
Hohenzollern of them all had a more military
aspect, and that he bore no little resemblance
to the present German Emperor as he was
thirty years ago. That likeness has not in¬
creased, but Prince Arthur at every turn re
minds me that lie is the son of the most

L soldierly mem-
ber of the Royal
Family, and recalls
the fact that several " " lllll, ’®8
generations of military fore- \
bears have gone to the making of
a twentieth-century officer of the
Royal Scots Greys. His grand¬
father—the Red Prince, Frederick
Charles—was one of the ablest com-
and be, ii

Red Prince,

-was one of the
manders of modern times;
his turn, was nephew of the old Emperor
William and third in descent from Queen ]il\
Louise of Prussia, at once the loveliest 'L.l

and most heroic figure of the German 1 |

War of Liberation. To this ladv,
perhaps, must now be paid compli- —JjM

ments upon the loveliness of Princess
Patricia, whose features are not easily
traced among the latter - day generations
of her family.

Born at Windsor Castle on Jan. ii, 1883,
Prince Arthur had in his parents the persons
most completely competent to prepare him for
Court and camp. An only son, and to his two
sisters an only brother, he lacked, naturally,
none of the influences that have always
counted for much in the up-bringing of his
House; neither did he lack the company of
men, the hard discipline of arms, or the
bracing exactions of the more vigorous forms
of sport. At nineteen he was a finished
soldier; at twenty-seven he is at his King’s
right hand, a Privy Councillor, a Knight of
justice of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem
in England, a Knight of the Black Eagle,
decorated with the Orders of the Chrysan¬
themum of Japan, the Seraphim of Sweden,
the Annunciata of Italy, the Grand Cross of
the Legion of Honour, and the Grand Collar
of the Spanish Order of Charles III. Within
the last eighteen months alone he has trodden
the decks of half-a-dozen vessels bound for as
many ports ; he has roamed among the ruins
of Messina, stood among the beasts fallen
before his gun in East Africa, established
himself high in the Court of a new King, and
justified the esteem in which he has been
lvrid, and confirmed the popularity accorded
him. by the English people.

REPRESENTATIVE OF THE KING AT THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW .
PRINCE ARTHUR OF CONNAUGHT, K.G.

Prince Arthur was in Liverpool on Wednesday last. It was arranged that* on ariiving at the
Show ground, he should be received in the Royal Pavilion by Sir Gilbert Greenall, the President
for this year, and should then drive round the place in the Ear! of Derby's carriage.

I T is over sixty years ago since there was established the firm of G. H. Morton
and Son, Ltd., which by the excellence and artistic value of its work in the
decoration of houses, and the making and upholstering of furniture, has won and
ever since maintained a high reputation not only in Liverpool (where the offices
and show-rooms are at 77-79, Bold Street, and 1, Exchange Street West), but all
over the United Kingdom and in many countries abroad. The great reputation
enjoyed by the firm, and its phenomenal success from a business point of view,
are based on the distinction imparted to every piece of work as the result of the
individual thought and attention bestowed on it by the firm’s experts. For the policy
of G. H. Morton and Son is not merely to repeat in one house or room the same

decorative scheme which has proved successful in another mansion or apartment,
but to devise and carry out a^ scheme of decoration best suited to the individual
character of each house or room. In its manufacture of furniture it is likewise
the aim of the firm not to follow fashions blindly, but to give to each suite or
article of furniture an individuality and character suited to its particular uses or
requirements. This result is brought about by the fact that all the firm’s work
is done in its own cabinet-making factory and workshops in Oldham Place, Ren-
shaw Street, Liverpool, by highly trained craftsmen, under the personal supervision
of the firm ; while the individual interest of the employees in the production of the
finest work is assured by the fact that not only the heads of departments, but
also the leading workmen are shareholders.

T HERE are some French phrases which it is absurd to translate into English,
and apart from its strict significance, “Bon March 6 ” has long meant not
only to residents in Liverpool, but to the population of all the surrounding
countryside, the famous establishment in Basnett Street and Church Street. Liver¬
pool, where practically every necessity and all luxuries of modern social life may
be obtained. In every sense of the phrase, the Bon Marche is as familiar as it
is appreciated in Liverpool and district, for the wide range of this great estab¬
lishment’s activities is equalled only by the faithfulness with which is carried out
the dominant policy of selling every article at the lowest prices consistent
with the highest quality.

It would be easier to
say what the Bon Marche
does -not stock and sup¬
ply than to catalogue the
resources of its numerous
departments. The simple
fact that the establish¬
ment comprises forty dis¬
tinct and different de¬
partments is indicative
of so much that it needs
no further emphasis. For
men as well as for women,
the Bon Marche antici¬
pates and meets every
need, from the magnifi¬
cent selection of the
choicest creations in
dress and silk robes,
fine lingerie and furs,
to tobaccos and wines,
books and furniture, and
masculine tailoring for
both adults and juve¬
niles.

Even this rapid sur¬
vey smacks almost of
a trade - list, and yet
there ought to be men¬
tioned the Bon Marche’s
departments devoted
to household linens, to where all luxuries and most necessities of modern
china and glass, to social life may be obtained, "le bon march!"
hardware, to corsets,

to silks, books, and to every novelty whether useful or ornamental. Any one
of the Bon March6 departments would constitute by itself a specialist establishment,
bur it is the union of each and all of these many departments under one roof
which makes the Bon Marche what it is to Liverpool and to the vast outlying
population of which Liverpool is the centre. Nor is the trade of the Bon Marche
confined merely to the contiguous districts, for the firm’s catalogues are posted to
any address and all goods are delivered free to any rail wav-station in the United
Kingdom. In particular, the annual summer sale of the Bon March6, beginning
on June 28. affords unexampled opportunities for the securing of bargains which
are as remarkable in range as in price.

tween the Old World and the New,

— the great chain of countries that com¬
pose the British Empire. From its wharves
ply the ships which carry across the At¬
lantic those who are going to seek their
fortunes in a new land, away from our
circumscribed and crowded islands to
those vast territories of the western
continent, where they will find space
and opportunities and an adequate
return for their labour in a wider,
freer world.

It is, however, well for those who
•I may be contemplating emigration
j to bear in mind a very explicit
4 J statement made by the Canadian
Immigration Department in their
descriptive booklet — “The Country Called
Canada” — as to the class of emigrants
who are likely to succeed there. “Farmers
farm - labourers, and female domestic si
vants,” it is expressly stated, “ are the only
people whom the Canadian Emigration Department
advises to go to Canada. All others should get a
definite assurance of employment in Canada before
leaving home, and have money enough to support them
in case of disappointment.”

That there is plenty of room and scope for energy,
however, may be gathered from such a passage as the
following: “The Albertans,” we read, “are not in¬
dulging in a doubtful speculation when they take for

Dominion: the name “Canada” —-
having been an Indian title originally
applied to the region in the St. Lawrence Valley where
the first French settlers made their home. On either side
of the St. Lawrence stretch the innumerable farms of the
French Canadians. Passing through Montreal, the com¬
mercial metropolis of Canada, the traveller finds himself
in Ontario, which has the largest population of all the
provinces, and is the most developed both in agriculture
and manufactures. Along the northern shores of the great
lakes the landscape 1 consists of endless farms and orchards,
interspersed with thriving villages and manufacturing towns.

BETWEEN THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS AND THE ROCKIES i
SUMMERLAND, IN THE OKANAGAN DISTRICT.

Beyond Ontario lie the younger provinces—Mani¬
toba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and (across the Rocky

undulating park, rich in woods and
streams and lakes. Between Alberta
and British Columbia rise the grand peaks
of the Rocky Mountains, and from the
western slopes the land stretches to the
Cascade Mountains and coast of the Pacific.

British Columbia is rich in mines and
forests, and its fisheries are more pro¬
ductive even than those of Nova
Scotia. But, like all the Canadian
provinces, it has immense tracts of
farm and pasture land. The climate,
owing to the warmth imparted by
the Japanese current, which acts
on the atmosphere like the Gulf
Stream, is more balmy, and the
wild vegetation is tropical in its II
luxuriance. In some of the valleys, "
however, owing to scanty rainfall, it has
been found necessary to irrigate.

“ A striking object-lesson in the effects of
irrigation,” says the booklet above referred to,
“is to be seen in the Okanagan Valley, where
Lord Aberdeen, years ago, established his famous
Coldstream ranch. This district is most celebrated for
its fruit, especially apples, which grow to perfection in
shape, colour, and flavour, and find an unlimited mar¬
ket in the mining centres not far away and in the
prairie provinces beyond the mountains. On the lower
levels of this valley, peach-growing has become an
equally well-established and profitable industry. Other
valleys are being developed in the same way, and

granted that their province will have a population of
many millions. There is room for a vast increase of
the agricultural community, to begin
with ; and the miscellaneous town
population which gathers whenever the
surroundings become well settled with
farmers is growing rapidly.”

We are accustomed to think of
Canada as a country, but it is rather
an aggregation of countries, it is half
a continent, containing within its bound¬
aries every variety of climate and of
scenery. Let us take a brief survey,
say, from Liverpool to Vancouver, tra¬
versing Canada from the east coast to
the west. The big liners from Liver¬
pool cross to Nova Scotia in five or six
days. Nova Scotia fronts the Atlantic
with a rocky coast, from whose har¬
bours the fishermen go forth to reap
the harvest of the sea ; but its south¬
western valleys are like a vast orchard,
and there are great tracts of farm¬
ing country, while in the island of
Cape Breton thousands of coal-miners
are at work. Prince Edward Island,
the smallest province, has been called
“ the Garden of Canada,” for it is cul¬
tivated from end to end. Travelling
westward, in New Brunswick also there
is a great variety of scenery and in¬
dustry, from the seaports and fishing
villages of the coast to the great
forests of the interior and the pleasant valleys of agri¬
cultural land.

Next to New Brunswick comes Quebec, the original
Canada, which has given its name to the whole

Mountains) British Columbia. The railway passes first
through an immense and almost level grass plain,

dotted with the homesteads of settlers; but, if the
traveller were to cross these provinces on a line two
hundred miles further north, he would find the country
no longer a monotonous prairie, but like a lovely,

altogether fruit-growing and orchard-keeping is becom¬
ing one of the most important industries of the province.”

With reference to the Illustration of
a Galician homestead, we may quote
again from the booklet: “The people
[of Saskatchewan] . . . are drawn
from many countries and many races.
Galicians are numerous. . . . The

Galician toils away until he has got a
beautiful farm, cultivated by up-to-date
machinery, and his young folk do not
take long to merge into the English-
speaking population.” In Alberta, too,
“the Galicians are to he found in
many thousands in the northern parts
of the settled district.” But, of course,
as in the other provinces, except
Quebec, where the French predomi¬
nate, the majority of the inhabitants
are British.

Success in farming, of course, in
Canada as elsewhere, varies with
the character and the ability of the
farmer, but one feature of the life
is worth noting, in conclusion. “ The
transformation of agriculture by the.
spread of knowledge,” we read, “as
well as by the invention of labour-
saving machinery, is very striking.
Drudgery has been lessened and
profits have been increased; agricul¬
ture is seen to provide scope for the
highest intellects; and the pleasures
of country life are no longer over-shadowed by the
monotonous toil, producing little material result, which
in the past has driven thousands of farmers* sons
to seek refuge in city life.”

\NE of the
minor
problems of so¬
cial history is how
people managed with¬
out sugar when it was
yet unknown to Europe. De¬
spite its flavour and cloying character,
honey remained the sole source of
t Tatb, Bt., sweetness known to Western civilisa-
Hbnry tion until the sugar-cane was brought
to Europe from India, and the Arabs
taught the world how to refine it.

Venice, as the great maritime en¬
trepot. of the mediaeval world, was
the centre of the trade in sugar, and
one of the earliest mentions of its
introduction into England is of its shipment
to London in exchange for wool. It was a
costly luxury and a medical addendum. With
the discovery of America, Spain became the
great distributor of sugar, and its importance
as an article of trade was so great that, at
the end of the fifteenth century, a Venetian
citizen was awarded 100,000 crowns for his
invention of loaf-sugar.

With the use of tea and coffee as bever¬
ages, sugar became the leading article of
food which it now is, and the last fifty years
in particular have brought about not only a
great increase in its consumption, but im¬
provements in its preparation and refining
which make sugar to-day a food-product of
the highest value and of a purity and quality
which it had never before attained.

In this development a pre-eminent part
has been played by English firms, and in
particular by the famous house of Henry
Tate and Sons, of Liverpool and London.

Their factories exemplify every process in
the refinement and preparation of the sugar, from by a scissor - like instrument into lumps. To work

where the premises

equipped a factory as any of the kind
in Europe. In all, the firm employs
nearly two thousand hands.

From the small beginning thus out¬
lined the firm has increased to its pre¬
sent pre-eminent position. Its founder,

Sir Henry Tate, retired

and by his munificent generosity to
Liverpool University, to public free
libraries, and by his crowning gift
to the nation of the Tate Picture Gallery,
London, showed his public spirit, as in busi¬
ness he had displayed acumen and industry.
He was succeeded in the chairmanship of
the company by his eldest son, the present
Baronet, Sir William Henry Tate, who in
maintaining the business in a high state of
efficiency is assisted by his brother, Mr.
Edwin Tate, J.P., as vice-chairman, by his
two sons, a nephew, and many old members
of the original firm.

o c As it leaves the planta-

Kaw bugar. tion, raw sugar, whether
from the cane or beet, is an unappetising-
looking substance, resembling a rather grey-
looking gravel or stony-clay powder. Some
resemblance may be traced to the dark-
brown but clear appearance of Demerara
sugar, but none to the fine powdered sugar or
glittering snowy lumps which grace the tea-
table. The transformation of the raw, crude
substance into the purified, finished product
is the miracle to be seen at Tate’s factory. Here in the
yard, ranged alongside the building, are great lorries
laden with sacks of sugar as they have been brought by

GRANULATED SUGAR BEING PREPARED FOR PACKING INTO BAGS FOR THE MARKETS

The Venture of a
Great Firm.

The business of Henry Tate and
Sons was established in 1859 at
Liverpool by Mr. Henry Tate, who
commenced refining sugar by the then
existing methods in premises of modest
size in Earle Street. Within eleven years
the business had so grown that in 1870 the
firm built and removed to a larger factory
in Love Lane, Liverpool. In erecting this
factory it was originally intended to con¬
tinue to follow the old-fashioned method
of refining, but before the completion of
the premises the firm was approached with
an offer of the sale of the Bobivin-Lois-
eau patents for refining sugar by a new
method. After serious deliberation — for
the question practically involved the aban¬
donment of the sound and increasing busi¬
ness built up by the old processes—Henry
Tate and Sons purchased the patent, and
at a heavy cost constructed and installed
the new machinery.

Great as was the responsibility involved
by this innovation, the success of the new
departure was established from the first.

Hitherto white soft sugar had been gen¬
eral. But in the new factory, by their new
process, Henry Tate and Sons produced
fine large, dry, crystal sugar, which imme¬
diately commanded a big and ready sale.

Within a few years the firm also ac¬
quired a patent for making cube or lump

Thames, and it
the firm that all
the crystal and

in this London factory of
cubes are made, while
granulated sugars

ship from the West Indies or Java, and many other
parts of the world. Down to the time of the Brussels
Convention, five years ago, very little cane sugar was
used, owing to the bounty - nourished
competition of beet; but since then the
production of cane sugar has largely
increased.

The comprehensive organisation of
Henry Tate and Sons' great business is
seen in the very entrance of the sugar into
the factory. Great lorries bring the raw
sugar into the yard in sacks Each,
unloaded from the dray, is opened and
poured into the endless chain of buckets
which carry it to the topmost storey of the
big building, whence it passes downward
from floor to floor through the various
processes.

Sugar and the
Scientist.

Preliminary to the
commencement of
the actual refining,
samples of each consignment of sugar are
taken to the laboratory. For the work of
Henry Tate and Sons is not mechanical
and by rule of thumb, but scientific and
by proved fact. Each sample of sugar,
duly washed, filtered, and passed through
charcoal, is here subjected to exact analy¬
sis, and its quality, sweetening strength,
and composition minutely discovered.

of the liquid sugar through
“ and * the charcoal is to dis¬

cover how various grades in sugar come about.
Sugar in the raw is all of the same quality,
and its quality as a finished product depends
7 on the amount of treacle, etc., extracted from
it. For a time the “char" absorbs and retains
all these unrequited constituents which colour
the sugar and uncrystallisable elements. So the
sugar emerges as a clear and white water - like
liquid. This makes sugar of the first and finest
quality. It is pure sugar and nothing but sugat.

But after a time the sugar as it comes through the
"char" is not white as was the first, or dark brown
as when it went in at the top. It is of the slightest
primrose colour. Then it becomes rather darker and
more golden, and then a light-brown colour. Beyond
that point sugar cannot be refined, for what remains
of the original raw sugar is treacle or molasses—un¬
crystallisable sugar.

These four colours of this liquid sugar represent
the four qualities of sugar which, boiled dawn and
crystallised, are sold by Messrs.
_ Henry Tate and Sons. Each
grade is refined by the firm
from the same raw sugar, and
its ultimate colour and quality
are the result only of the
presence of the treacle or mo¬
lasses which can no further be
extracted.

Throughout every process,
and in passing through the
different machines (which are
driven by electricity), -late’s
sugar is never touched by hand.

Little space is left to de¬
scribe the clear white sugar
which pours down the shutes and
forms snow mountains of sweet¬
ness, which are carried off to
be weighed and packed by
machinery into bags bearing
the familiar TATE brand : or to
describe how, at the Silvertown
Factory, for the famous Tate
cubes the finest quality liquid
sugar is cooled into solid blocks,
which are cut by machinery
into slices, and these again

into sections and the familiar cubes which one's
hostess holds poised between silver tongs in mid¬
air while she asks, “One lump or two?" To that
question the answer is according to taste, but
what every good housewife insists on is that the
sugar is TATE’S.

NES. A VACUUM PAN.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, June 25, 1910_xx

T O its pre-eminence as a shipping centre,
Liverpool adds certain industrial and
business enterprises, which, in one trade, for
instance, play an intimate and notable part in
the home-life of the people. For in Liverpool
are the headquarters and factories of the
Globe Furnishing Company, which, under the
personal management for more than a quarter
of a century of its sole proprietor, Alderman
J. R. Grant, J.P. (one of the leading figures
in the civic life of Liverpool), has built up a
large and extending trade for the supply of
furniture throughout the North of England.
In addition to this local or Liverpool trade,
the Globe Furnishing Company has a large
branch establishment at Belfast, while the
high reputation of the firm brings many and
repeated orders from the South and West
of England, the Highlands and islands
of Scotland, from all over Ireland, and
a large foreign trade with Australia
and South Africa, India and China,
Japan and Russia, Italy and the Near
East.

All furniture sold by the Globe Furnish*
ing Company is made in the firm’s own
workshops in Liverpool, or in other fac¬
tories under the firm’s supervision. Two
results follow this one fact. In the first
place, there is the soundness and quality
of the Globe Company’s furniture, made
from the best materials by expert work¬
men in the employment of the firm.
Each article of furniture sold by the
Globe Company thus carries the imprim¬
atur and guarantee of the firm. What
that fact means in its entirety would be
realised by the public if it knew how'
few furniture - houses make the furniture
they sell.

Where a firm merely sells furniture,
that furniture has to return three large
profits — firstly, to the manufacturer;
secondly, to the wholesale merchant; and
thirdly, to the retailer. By manufacturing
the furniture it sells, the Globe Furnishing
Company eliminates two profits, and the
purchaser benefits not only in the lower

FOR THE FURNITURE' SEEKER t AN ARTISTIC AND USEFUL SUITE.

This is one of the many beautiful suites included in the stock. Essentially sound and useful
it leaves nothing to be desired from the artistic standpoint. At the price of fifteen guineas this
“ Chesham " Drawing-Room Suite is typical of the splendid value given by the firm.

price he pays, but also by the higher value
and quality which he receives in his
purchases. The steadfast pursuit of this
sound business policy has brought to the
Globe Furnishing Company an extensive
and ever extending trade. By its elimin¬
ation of the middleman’s heavy profits, it
is able to offer to the public exceptional
advantages for the purchase of furniture by
instalments, extending over either one, two,
or three years. An impressive tribute to the
business of the Globe Furnishing Company is
the growth of its trade among customers
who select their goods from the firm’s
catalogue and send their orders by post.
This method of purchasing is rendered
easy and entirely satisfactory because the
illustrations are from actual photographs,
and all the furniture is fully described and
accurate dimensions given, so that the
customers know exactly wtiat they are
buying. All such orders are delivered
carriage paid to any railway station in
the British Isles, and are executed under
the condition that, failing full satisfaction,
the goods are to be returned by the
customer.

This handsome and useful catalogue
contains hundreds of designs — also
hints, suggestions, and estimates — of
great value to those contemplating fur¬
nishing. All the furniture is priced, and
particulars are given of their deferred-
payment system. It will be sent post free
to any address in the world on applica¬
tion to the Globe Furnishing Company,
Pembroke Place, Liverpool, or 38-10, High
Street, Belfast.

On the occasion of the visit of the
present writer to the head offices of
the firm, he was showm letters from
customers in many parts of the British
Isles, Cape Colony and Australia, India
and China, acknowledging the safe
arrival of furniture, and expressing the
customers* warm satisfaction with the
way their orders by post had been
executed.

particularly as a hot-weather beverage. Not only is
“Montserrat” clean, agreeable, and refreshing to the
palate (whether diluted with plain or aerated water),
but it is also of notable distinction as a febrifuge,
and useful in inflammatory diseases. Hence the in¬
creasing popularity of a “ Montserrat and soda ”

and Webb, Ltd., of Liverpool, are the sole consignees.
As much as 100,000 gallons of this pure juice of the
lime has been received in one year, despite the dis¬
astrous effects of the terrific rainstorm (twenty inches
of rain in twelve hours) of 1896, and the tornado of
1899, when the plantations were stripped, uprooted,
and laid bare. But
at once the Mont¬
serrat Company re¬
planted four hun¬
dred acres of lime-
trees, and the supply
of pure lime-juice
has been thus
maintained without
interruption. Clari¬
fication by sub¬
sidence in the cask
precedes the placing
on the market of
“Montserrat” Lime
Juice, which is the
pure, unsweetened
juice of the lime.
It has also an¬
other form in the
“Montserrat” Lime
Juice Cordial,
which is the pure
juice of the lime
sweetened by the
addition of pure
sugar, for palates
to which the dry
character of the
natural juice is not
agreeable.

In conclusion
may be quoted the
Lancet , which de¬

healthful and re¬
freshing qualities of
this beverage.

It is unnecessary to recall now the almost miraculous
effect which followed the institution of lime-juice as
a standard article in the dietary of all deep-sea ships,
and how that Government regulation has contributed
to the practical extinction of scurvy, a disease that was
once as prevalent as it is now rare among our sea¬
going population. But of direct individual import¬
ance is the healthfulness of the juice of the lime,

MONTSERRAT LIME - ORCHARDS AND LIME - PICKERS.

among athletes, on the cricket-field and tennis-court,
the golf-links, and in the flasks of mountaineers to
qualify the water of wayside streams.

Over 650 acres of land in the small island of Mont¬
serrat are covered by some 200,000 lime-trees, the
golden fruit of which is gathered by the natives, and,
under pressure, yields the delicately fragrant and re¬
freshing juice of which Messrs. Evans Sons Lescher

dares “ lime-juice
is, particularly dur¬
ing the summer, a
far more wholesome drink than any form of alcohol,”
and that, “ say, an ounce or two of the pure juice in
a tumbler of really cold water, sweetened to taste, is
about the pleasantest beverage that can be taken
when the thermometer is over 65 deg. or 70 deg. F.”

But see that it is “ Montserrat,” to which were
awarded the only gold medals allotted to lime-juice at
the Exhibitions at St. Louis (U.S.A.) and at Cape Town.

“ A ND now, on the leeward bow,” wrote Charles Kings-
ley in his charming travel • book “At Last: a
Christmas in the West Indies,” “ another grey mountain
island rose. This was Montserrat, which I should have
gladly visited, as I had been invited to do ; for little
Montserrat is just now the scene of a very hopeful and
important experi¬
ment. The Messrs.

Sturge have estab¬
lished there a large
plantation of limes
and a manufactory
of lime-juice, which
promises to be able
to supply, in good
time, vast quantities
of that most useful
of all sea medi¬
cines, and I for one
heartily bid God
speed to the enter¬
prise.”

That commend¬
ation on the little
isle of Montserrat,
in the Lesser An¬
tilles, maybe said to
have been earned,
not only by the fact
that it is the health¬
iest isle in the West
Indies, but also by
the fineness and
purity of the juice
which its lime-trees
yield — qualities
which have made
Montserrat synony¬
mous throughout
the world with the

L '”PO all who know aught of British industry the
^ J- _ names “ Marshall ” and “ Gainsborough ”

7 p- > are inseparable terms. Indeed, it is impossible

to think of the Lincolnshire town without the
& huge engineering works to which it owes a great

part of its prosperity. This fact is rendered clearer when
it is remembered that Gainsborough’s population is
20,000. and that the number of men employed at the
factory of Messrs. Marshall, Sons, and Co., Ltd., is 4800.

The record of the Marshall firm is one of sure and
splendid progress. Established in the year 1849, it has
evolved from the smallest of beginnings to its present

mammoth dimensions. Its works cover thirty-three
acres, and boast some of the largest machine-shops in
the country.

It is in these shops that the framework of the firm’s
engines of all kinds is made and kept ready to be
shipped to all corners of the earth, for the traction
and other engines of Messrs. Marshall, Sons, and Co.
are known and used in all lands, and hold their own
all through the Continent of Europe, in the Far
East, and at the Antipodes, in India, and
throughout South America. The engines are
each specifically adapted to the roads on which
they have to travel. One traction • engine,
for instance, destined for South America,
has wheels which have been reinforced by
iron strips so as to give a better grip on
the soft land of the prairie.

The first thing that strikes the visitor is
the wonderful order that prevails ; even down
to the minutest detail. Everything is arranged
to make the work go smoothly; every draw¬
ing is in its proper place, and can be
found at a moment’s notice; travelling cranes
convey the parts of each machine to the pre¬
cise spot where they are requited. Also electric
motors supply the power, so that one section of
machinery can be worked during overtime without
wasting the power of the whole shop.

Apart from the method and order of the vast
establishment, there are many operations which might
arrest a . artist’s eye as keenly as they impress
the business mind. The huge blacksmith’s - shop,
with its hundred fires, to and from which men
are carrying pieces of glowing metal, gives a colour-
scheme of orange and gold, and forms a wonder¬
ful spectacle ; while the shower of sparks which

by steam - thrashing machines and traction - engines.

movement, and its most ingenious feature is the
series of brass battens which represent human hands.
Machines for sifting tea and for drying it by draughts
of hot air are also made in this department.

In particular, there must be mentioned the Marshall
Thrashing-machine, which is known to farmers all
over the world; and it is now rapidly making its
way in India. There for a long time there was
a prejudice against it, because it made the corn
too clean, and consequently reduced its selling
weight!

Emerging from this hive of industry, in
which the clang of hammer on metal ren¬
ders it almost impossible to carry on a
conversation, and entering the cool and quiet
office, with extensive drawing-rooms, photo¬
graphic studios, etc., many thoughts arise,
but chiefly admiration for the intellect, en¬
ergy, and enterprise which have produced
such a wonderful industrial monument on
the banks of the Trent. In the space of
sixty years Messrs. Marshall, Sons, and Co.
have established a reputation which has
made their machinery indispensable all over
the world. For English industry there need
be no despair so long as such excellent records
are to be found.

The. reputation of the firm is world - wide, and
diplomas awarded at Exhibitions to their goods occupy
a whole room, in which the medals of gold and
silver fill an enormous case. These successes of the
past are being continued to-day, for it is on the
sure basis of enterprise, skill, and unremitting atten¬
tion to every detail of construction and workman¬
ship that there has been built up the great business
of Marshall, Sons, and Co., Ltd., of Gainsborough.

conditions of comfort not excelled by any steamers of

Buenos Ayres. The rapid development of this
line of steam-ships and the part it has played
in the opening up of South America are suffi¬
ciently indicated by the fact that nine steamers
of the latest type, with excellent accommo¬

being built, so that before the end of the
present year there will be a weekly service from
London and a fortnightly one from Liverpool.

These Nelson steamers, all of 8000 tons,

It may also be mentioned that these Nel¬

a factor of safety against marine risks.

In addition to this fine accommodation for

ships will supply a most important link in the chain

TO THE WIRE ROPE: THE HOUSE Of CRADOCK.

tD’S-EYK VIEW OF THE WORKS OF MESSRS. GEORGE CRADOCK AND CO.,

The third shop is the wire - ropery depart¬
ment— a huge machinery-hall, where, by means
of the most up-to-date appliances, the rods
hitherto seen in process of manufacture are spun
into strands. Very often the rope is given a
hempen core, as this adds flexibility and light¬
ness to the finished article ; which reminds one
that Messrs. Cradock make their own hempen
rope, this being a not unimportant subsidiary
branch of their business.

Passing through the various departments of
Messrs. Cradock’s factory, one is struck by
what one might call without hyperbole the
essential honesty of their methods. Their aim
is not only to make wire rope, but to make
the best wire rope possible. Before any con¬
signment leaves the works, a portion of it is

cut off and tested by most delicate machinery
for three things—bends, torsions, and tensile
strength. One of the machines in the special
testing-room is capable of testing the tensile
strain of any wire rope up to fifty tons,

This is all the technical description of a
very remarkable industrial process which the
general reader may require to peruse. His
interest will now be awakened in the finished
products of Messrs. George Cradock and
Company, Ltd.

They include ordinary wire rope, either plain
or galvanised (and here it may be advisable
to state that so carefully is the galvanising
done that the quality of the wire rope so
treated is quite equal in quality to ungalvan¬
ised material) ; Lang’s patent rope, which revo¬
lutionised the industry, and of which Messrs.
Cradock were the original introducers ; the
“Nuflex” non-rotating flexible rope; and the
lock-coil wire rope.

The presence of the firm at the Liverpool
meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society this
week is an indication of the importance of

1 Its manufactures to the cause of agri¬
culture. It makes a special form of

ploughing, and this is used by farmers
in all parts of the world.

Other uses of the Cradock steel-wire ropes are
legion. In collieries

I - * ■ they are of the ut-

r — -- ■ - — . most advantage, be¬

ing utilised for wind¬
ing capstans, haul¬
age, and sinking-
ropes ; for nautical
purposes their uses
are many and vari¬
ous ; and they also
form the chief equip¬
ment of aerial tram¬
ways—those ingenious
devices for the car¬
riage of goods,
which have been
adopted where no
other means of trans¬
port are available.
They are also in¬
dispensable in con¬
nection with cranes,
winches, hoists, and
elevators. Mention
should also be made
of the special rope
which has been de¬
vised for use in the
various processes
connected with oil-
wells.

A few words as
to the history of the
firm. The grand¬
father of the present
directors began the

back, and by its pur¬
suit of the principles
which have brought
it to its present high
position, still greater
triumphs are assured
to the firm of Cra-
dock.

The wire rope
which they manufac¬
ture is of all thick¬
nesses, and is adapt¬
ed to heavy and
light work of all de¬
scriptions. It can be
used in connection
with a steam-plough,
or it can be em¬
ployed for bicycle or
motor-car brakes.

Messrs. Cradock,

MUSIC.

R EVIVALS of “ Otello ” and “ La Tosca ” at Covent
Garden, and concerts by Pachmann, Szigeti,
Zimbali»r, Boris Hambourg, and Dr. Camille Saint-
Sa£*ns were the chief features of last week’s music. In
“Otello” Melba sang- the Desdemona music fault¬
lessly, and even gave a measure of dramatic sig¬
nificance to the rdle, as though to prove that the drama
was as sure in its appeal tQ her as the music itself.
Zerola was the Otello, and Sammarco the Iago. In
“ La Tosca” Mile. Destinn took the title-rflle, and if she
did not realise all the drama’s heights and depths, her
singing was superb. M. Baklanoff, the baritone from
Russia, who is having his first season at Covent Garden,
made a hit in the part of Baron Scarpia. His acting
was of the kind our .National Opera House sees all too
seldom. Mr. Riccardo Martin, as Cavaradossi, pleased
everybody; he is a distinct acquisition to opera in
London. To - night, Charpentier’s delightful opera
“Louise” will be revived.

At His Majesty’s Theatre, the long-expected and
eagerly anticipated Mozart Festival has been in pro¬
gress, but as the work must be considered as a whole,
notice of it may be held over till next week, the more
readily because it is Mr. Beecham’s intention to give
three performances of each opera. The “ Fledermaus”
of Johann Strauss, the “ Feuersnot ” of Dr. Richard
Strauss, and the one-act opera, “ A Summer’s Night,” by
Mr. Clutsam, the talented musical critic of the Observer ,
are in rehearsal.

M. de Pachmann’s concert, with the New Symphony
Orchestra, at the Queen’s Hall last week afforded
further justification, if any were needed, for the high
esteem in which the great pianist is held. He played
both the pianoforte concertos with extraordinary insight
and absolute freedom from exaggeration. While every
point is made, while the beauty of the phrasing appeals
steadily to the ear, the distinguished player never fails
to bear in mind that the parts make up the whole.
Balance and proportion are as much to him as accuracy
of notes or varieties of tone and tempo. Under M. de
Pachmann’s marvellous hands Chopin reveals his beauty;
in the hands of some of our less gifted players the Polish
master’s music merely sounds pretty and sentimental.
Mr. Landon Ronald included in his programme the
“ Praeludium ” by Jarnefelt, a wonderful piece of writing
in canon, the form that has delighted s6 many skilled
composers—notably Mozart, Bach, Weber, and Purcell.

Nothing in musical London has been happier or more
appreciated than the short series of concerts devoted by
l)r. Saint-Sa£ns to the pianoforte concertos of Mozart
and given at Bechstein’s. With the aid of a small
orchestra, conducted by Mr. B. Hollander, the Grand
Old Man of French music has brought home to many
among his audiences the supreme beauty of work that
is seldom heard and, even when given, is not presented
under equally favourable circumstances.

PARLIAMENT.

W HILE representatives of the Government and of
the Opposition have been conferring on tlie
Constitutional question, the House of Commons has
been doing its work in an exemplary manner. Many
of its sittings since it reassembled have been short, and
there has been exceedingly little party contention. The
two sides agreed in giving sanction to the increase of
the salary of the President of the Local Government
Board from £2000 to /'5000. The greater part of this
week has been devoted by the Commons to the
Regency Bill, the Census Bills, a Vote on Account,
and some Estimates ; and in debate on the Boatd of
Agriculture country members were relieved to hear sir
E. Strachey’s emphatic refusal to withdraw the embargo
on cattle from Argentina. Restlessness has been shown
by certain sections during the suspension of the Con¬
stitutional controversy. The Labour Party has protested
against representatives of the two Front Benches going
“ behind the decision of the House of Commons,” and
a few Radicals also have betrayed uneasiness. There
has, however, been a general feeling of self restraint
on the Liberal side, and a disposition to rely on
the Prime Minister’s statement, that the Government
would not lose sight of the declared objects of their
policy ; while in the Conservative quarter membprs have
been, as a rule, loyally content to “wait and see.” In
the House of Lords the Government bench has lost the
veteran Viscount Wolverhampton, who, by his resig¬
nation, has closed an official career in which he was
distinguished as an administrator, a debater, and a
sagacious counsellor; and his place in the Cabinet
has been filled by the promotion of Earl Beauchamp.

OUR SUPPLEMENT: THE ** ROYAL"
AND LIVERPOOL.

H AVING regard to the holding this week of the
Royal Agricultural Society’s Show at Liverpool,
for the third time in the history of the institution, and
the remarkable progress seen in all depanments, which
is making this ypar’s “Royal” specially interesiing
and notable, we are devoting an Illustrated Supplement
to both the Royal Show itself and to the great city
where it is being held, dealing particularly with some
of Liverpool’s wonderlul industries and the commercial
enterprises which have given the Queen City of the
Mersey her place in the forefront among the great
trading marts of the world. Liverpool, its civic, com¬
mercial, and shipping magnates, and its centres of
absorbing trade activities and business energies, are
set forth and depicted by camera and letterpress in a
manner which, it is confidently trusted, will specially
attract and interest not only the throng of visitors to
the “ Royal,’.’ but also the wider circle of those who
have their homes in the great city and among its far-
reaching suburban townships.

THE PLAYHOUSES.

“THE CROSS ROADS.” AT THE COURT.

I T is odd that we should have been allowed to see
Mr. S. L. Robinson’s newest play, “ Harvest,” be¬
fore its predecessor — a far stronger and more convin¬
cing drama, “ The Cross Roads.” There may be only
two acts in this piece, the prologue having been wisely
discarded on production by the Irish Theatre Society,
but these two acts tell their story with directness,
with occasional humour, and with a terrible poignancy.
The tragedy of the career of Ellen McCarthy, the
earnest, one-idea’d propagandist who is set upon reform¬
ing Irish farming, and in pursuit of her ideal gives love
the go-by, and marries a superstitious and old-fashioned
farmer, only to bring him bad luck, while among her
neighbours her scientific methods prove gloriously suc¬
cessful, is presented with a straightforwardness and
a sense of climax that carry the audience by storm.
The piece last Monday night brought out some admir¬
able acting, Mr. Kerrigan, as a calculating old farmer.
Miss Sara Allgood, as the obstinate heroine; Mr. Fred
O’Donovan, as the lover who tries 10 check her mad¬
ness ; and, in particular, Mr. Arthur Sinclair, as the hus¬
band, all contributing to carry out the author’s intention.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES AMONG METALS.

[See Illustrations on "Science and Natural History» Pape.}

T HAT various metals—tin, iron, brass, lead—can.

like living organisms, contract diseases fatal to
their usefulness by inducing processes of deterioration,
which are also contagious, is a very important discovery.
For it Professor Ernst Cohen, of ihe University of
Utrecht, is responsible, as the result of a series of special
investigations. Professor Cohen, experimenting in par¬
ticular with a block of Banca tin weighing about twenty-
five kilos, which had become corroded, was able to prove
the presence in the block of metal of two different
physical kinds or natures, although of identical chemical
composition. One kind, which the Professor termed
“white” tin, was healthy metal, fit for any purpose;
the other, which he termed “grey” tin, had been
originally “ white,” but had become diseased and
decayed, also producing a grey dust By ordinary
physico-chemical process, M. Cohen satisfied himself
that the transformation of “white” tin into “grey”
takes place at any temperature below 18 degrees
(Centigrade), and that by adding certain morbid
“ germs ” it is possible to accelerate the degeneration
in just the same way as the inoculation of certain
microbes affects animal organisms. The Professor, in
his experiments also, by means of the dust-germs from
the “grey” tin, infected blocks of pure “white” tin,
with the result that the same decaying process into
“ grey ” tin and dust set in there forthwith. Professor
Cohen, although his experiments have been mainly con¬
fined to tin, has also diagnosed the same “disease” in
other metals. He is now engaged on a series of studies
of the Pathology 7 of Iron.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, June 25, 1910.—I00S

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

T HERE is an atmosphere of compromise everywhere
at the present instant, and of what always goes
with compromise—secrecy. Everybody is beckoning to
everybody else, and taking everybody else apart for a
few minutes’ conversation. The silence round the
funeral of the late King is not a stately silence of
bowed figures or bared heads: it is rather that
maddening silence in which one sees groups of people
arguing and gesticulating without hearing a word that
they say. I confess that I dislike these hurried busi¬
ness bargains made in the churchyard: I am willing
that debate should cease if it gives place to contem¬
plation ; but I do not like debate to cease when it
only gives place to intrigue. I prefer even the mere
cry of a maniac — such as the cry that the Cabinet
killed the King. It is quite comically plain, of course,
that, even if Mr. Asquith is an assassin as gory as
Kidd, or as venomous as
Borgia, the very last per¬
son he would have wanted
to murder was the late
King. I can imagine many
other political corpses cheer¬
fully strewn along Mr.

Asquith’s sanguinary path
before he came to con¬
triving the one death that
has upset half his plans.

But even mere screams of
idiotcy like that are more
soothing to my own par¬
ticular civic soul than this
busy and bustling silence.

Carlyle and other sages have
doubtless preached that it
is chiefly in silence that
something is done. But my
own experience is rather
that it is chiefly in silence
that somebody is done ; and
the somebody who is done
is generally the average
British taxpayer.

I will confess to such
quixotry as to feel gener¬
ally that compromise is a
little compromising. The
whole tone and tint of our
public and private diplo¬
macy seems to me some¬
what blurring to honour. All
“ settlements ” smell rather
of money — like marriage
settlements. All “arrange¬
ments ” tend a little to
be, like Mr. Whistler’s pic¬
tures, arrangements in mud
and gold. But I do not
press this extreme idealism
upon politicians. I know
that most politicians are
engaged in trying to imitate
the other politicians, which cannot be considered as
a school of virtue. Moreover, I am not so fanatically
theoretic that I cannot see that there is something in
the change of affairs when they come to be handled
and employed. Certainly there is one sort of shining
idealism that is like the sheen on new, stiff, and sticky
furniture. If the furniture is any good at all (which
is frequently not the case) it will be better when
it has been a little used and mellowed. Many an
armchair have I mellowed in my time ; leaning
backwards in it until the obstinate back gives way,
with a comfortable crash; grinding its sturdy legs
firmly into the floor till the needless and inconvenient
castors are wrenched off and roll happily away. This
mere softening of the crudity of a piece of furniture by
practice and experiment may, no doubt, be an advan¬
tage; and only the other day, when I had just mel¬
lowed a large sofa, and the servants were picking up
the pieces, they were compelled to admit that I had
taken away altogether that unhomely, shiny look as of

Something just come from a shop which had previously
offended the eye. But while I am willing to give to
any piece of furniture another and a bolder shape
merely by sitting on it, there are limits to this disrup¬
tive process. There comes a point in the life of every
chair when its owner should emphatically make up his
mind whether he wishes to use the chair for a chair
or to use the chair for firewood. Both courses are
practical; nay, both are poetical. It may be even
that the chair is more lovely when crowned with
an aureole of ardent flames than when merely
surmounted by a somewhat shapeless journalist. But
a compromise between these two courses is em¬
phatically to be discouraged. I strongly object to
sitting on the most comfortable chair if three legs
of it are being used for support, while one leg is
being used for firewood. I do not agree with those

constitutional evolutionists who think it enough to say
that new things will approach us partially and with
prudence. I am not satisfied when the Socialist says
that Socialism will only come slowly. I am not com¬
forted when the Protectionist says that Protection will
be introduced with great tact and care. If the fourth
leg of my chair is burning, I would rather be shrivelled
at a quick fire than roasted at a slow one.

This state of compromise is at once dull and dan¬
gerous—like a fog in the Channel. There are no
battles, but only accidents, and one ship runs into
another without having even the fun of ramming her.
A compromise upon Female Suffrage is being brought
before the House of Commons—a compromise which,
like most other compromises, cunningly contrives to
include all that is dubious or menacing in the measure,
while leaving out all that is enthusiastic and humane.
It gives more power to the women who have too much
political power already; it gives none to the women

who alone can really need political power. If (on the
one hand) it is unwomanly to crowd to polls and
Parliaments, this Bill does that wrong to womanhood.
If (on the other hand) it is unmanly to leave women
voteless in slums and factories, this Bill leaves them
there. It I were a Suffragist on generous and demo¬
cratic lines, as many of them are, nothing would in¬
duce me to support so oppressive a compromise. I
would as soon have been an Abolitionist and agreed
that no niggers should be free except the niggers who
were already nigger-drivers.

The same evil compromise hovers over party poli¬
tics ; but I shall have little space to deal with that,
to my own regret and possibly to the Editor’s relief.
I am not preternaturally impressed by the fact that
Mr. Asquith, Mr. Balfour, and Mr. Lloyd George
are all to meet in an
unreported Conference ; for
I know they have been
meeting in unreported con¬
ferences about twice a week
for the last five years. To
suppose that statesmen, any
two of whom can at any
moment of their Parliament¬
ary existence say anything
they like to each other, by
the simple operation of get¬
ting into a hansom cab or
sitting down in a quiet part
of the Terrace, wild have
anything astonishing to say
to each other at a confer¬
ence, affects me as slightly
simple-minded. Even if they
were practically of different
social classes it would be
easy enough to have twenty
or thirty conferences ; there
would be no difficulty about
private conversations between
the Duke of Norfolk and Mr.
Keir Hardie if they wanted
to have them. But as these
Cabinet Ministers belong
practically to the same class,
and dine with each other
constantly, the question is
not so much whether they
should have a private con¬
ference, as whether they
have ever had anything else.
If they left off having pri¬
vate conferences it might
perhaps be a beneficent re¬
form ; but I do not urge it.
What is really new and
perilous, if one may say so,
is the publicity of the pri¬
vacy. As long as these
contracts and compromises
are made behind the back
of the citizen, he is not responsible. But if he
turns his back on them, he is responsible. It is one
thing when statesmen get behind doors in order to
discuss. It is another when they slam the doors in
the face of the public in order to discuss. This
process is not to be put to the account of any of the
living statesmen engaged in it; it has been going on
or a long time, and they are perhaps in some ways
almost as much its victims as we. The truth remains
that the British Government has, in a sense, been
hunted from hiding-place to hiding-place; and has
always invented new places in which to hide. The
Parliaments met, professing to represent the people ;
but they were careful not to admit the people. When
at last their debates had to be reported, they trans¬
ferred their real debates to the Cabinet, and these
were not reported. Now, fleeing from the blaze of
journalism and blare of rumour, they seem to be
inventing another secret organ; and I know more than
one democrat who finds it too secret to be satisfying

MAKING IT EASY FOR A PASSENGER ON AN AEROPLANE TO GUIDE THE PILOT:

THE MICROPHONE INVENTED BY CAPTAIN MARCONNET IN USE.

It is obviously difficult for the passenger sitting behind the pilot of an aeroplane to make that pilot hear while the machine is making
a rapid flight through the air. Hence the invention, by Captain Marconnet, of the microphone here shown. With the aid of this, the
passenger, armed with a map of the route, can give the pilot directions with ease. It will be noted that the mouth-piece used by the
passenger is attached to the flap of the pilot's cap, and that the mouthpiece for the pilot is placed on his left shoulder.

The Suffragettes made what was. perhaps, the most remarkable demonstration of their career on Saturday last. when. 10,000 strong, they marched four deep from Victoria Embankment to the
Albert Hall. At the head of the procession came “General” Mrs. Drummond, riding astride and immediately preceding the chief banner-bearer and the drum-and-ftfe band of the Women's
Social and Political Union, under their drum-major. Mrs. Leigh. Those sections of the procession which created the greatest interest were the band already mentioned: the 617 bearers of silver
broad-arrows, one for each conviction of a Suffragette; the ladies in cap and gown; the hospital nurses; and the car on which sat Miss Howey in prison dress. At the meeting at the Albert

Hall over .£3000 was collected for the cause.

THE TERRIBLE RAI.WAY DISASTER NEAR VERSAILLES, IN WHICH NINETEEN PEOPLE
WERE KILLED i CLEARING THE WRECKAGE FROM THE LINE.

THE COLLISION BETWEEN AN EXPRESS AND A SLOW TRAIN AT VILLEPREUX
THE OVERTURNED ENGINE OF THE SLOW TRAIN.

Between six and seven o’clock on the evening of Saturday of last week, a terrible disaster occurred at Villepreux Station, which is a short distance to the west of Saint Cyr. A slow train had stopped in the station,

that some slight repairs might be made to its engine. Into this train the Granville Express from IJaris ran. Fortunately, most of the passengers of the slow train, informed that there would be some delay, had left the

carriages. This fact, however, did not prevent a terrible roll of casualties. In all nineteen people were killed, and thirty received injuiies. The disaster was added to by the fact that the overturned engine set fire to

the wrecked cars. Terrible scenes were witnessed; and the driver of the express is said to have bolted in a panic.

THE DISASTER THAT WAS CAUSED BY A CROWD'S IMPATIENCE. THE AEROPLANE

WRECKED BIPLANE ON THE EDGE OF THE WEY.

At the auction of the right to make the first passenger-flight with Mr. Grahame-White at Brooklands,
Lady Abdy bought the privilege for 120 guineas. She took her seat behind the famous airman ; the
biplane rose in the air, and flew towards the paddock; then it descended rapidly over the Wey.
Mr. Grahame-White contrived to direct it over the water ; but it came to ground on the bank,
throwing Mr. White and his passenger out of their seats. Fortunately, neither was hurt. The
accident was put down to an unexpected loss of power on the part of the motor.

ON WHICH THADDEUS ROBL MET HIS DEATH.

During the flying'meeting at Stettin the other day, certain members of the crowd, growing Impatient as
there was no flying, began to hoot. Thereupon Robl, wishing to stop the demonstration, decided upon
a flight, although a squally wind was blowing, and the experts present decided that to attempt flight
would be to court disaster. Robl rose on his Farman to a height of two or three hundred feet, flew some
800 yards, descended to within sixty feet of the ground, and from that height fell like a stone. The
airman's neck was broken, and be died within a few minutes.

“THE GREATEST INTERPRETER OF CHOPIN IN HIS GENERATION": M. VLADIMIR DE PACHMANN.

It has been said of M. Vladimir de Pachmann. the great pianist who has just given two recitals at the Queen's Hall, that he is the greatest interpreter of Chopin in his generation, and few
will be found to deny the truth of the assertion. Meantime, it is worthy of note that he himself holds that Godowsky is the finest pianist of the present day. and that Liszt was unapproached
and unapproachable. M. de Pachmann made his first appearance in London twenty-eight years ago. His reputation is world-wide: to use his own words, his piano-playing has served “as a

which information should be widely diffused—namely,
that tea and coffee are not foods at all, and that money
spent on these beverages by people who have to be very

up a nutritious diet. The report adds that the use of
such foods necessitates proper care spent on cooking,
and this is precisely another point wherein our national
commissariat arrangements are widely deficient.

There is another feature concerning national nutrition
which should not escape the notice of thoughtful minds.
The whole question of foods and nourishment dates from
the birth of the individual. Mistakes made in the
feeding of the infant, entailing weakened bones, rickets,
and general non-development, cannot be rectified in
after life. A child with deformed legs due to rickets
cannot be converted into a normal and stalwart citizen

education of the people in the science of foods and
feeding. Once that movement is started on a proper basis,
a great reform will be inaugurated.— Andrew Wilson.

SCIENCE and NATURAL

SCIENCE JOTTINGS.

NATIONAL NUTRITION. \

I T is curious to observe how little attention
is paid to the very obvious relationship
which exists between a nation’s food and its
prosperity. Obvious, that is, of course, to
those who make the sociological aspects of
food and feeding a special study, and yet,
I’l when the man-in-the-street is told that he is

Vl largely what his food makes him, he begins

\J to grasp the outskirts of a great physio-

& logical truth. Our only real income in a

personal sense is the food we consume.

Given good, wholesome diet, and the in¬
dividual, and equally the nation, flourishes.

Each is able to build and repair its body,
and to develop energy, or “the power
of doing work,” which are the two des¬
tinies or functions that food accomplishes
in any living being, animal, or plant.

The eating of poor food—that is, diet
insufficient in quantity, or, what is equally
disastrous, deficient in quality—is followed
by inanition, enfeeblement, and inability
to discharge the duties of life. After all,
the food-question may be said to lie at
the very root and foundation of all
our physical and mental prosperity. For
a brain nourished with blood of poor
quality, it is clear, cannot discharge its
functions properly, any more than can
a muscle whose blood-supply does not
contain sufficient energy-producing con¬
stituents.

These considerations form a very
natural and forcible plea for the better
education of the people in the science of
food-getting and food-taking. A series
of elaborate investigations was under¬
taken some years ago into the feeding-
habits of the masses of the Scottish
capital. It was shown that the diet of
the working - classes was largely insuf¬
ficient in quality. Money, which had to be carefully
spent to afford an adequate return in the way of nourish¬
ment, was largely laid out in bread and tea. This was
called “the lazy diet,” because it did not r provide the
body with sufficient energy or working power. Unfor¬
tunately. the habit of regarding tea and coffee as articles
of diet, as foods, when they are only stimulants and
correspond to “meat extracts,” is a nutritive fault
responsible for a great deal of national underfeeding.
This is one point alone, but an all-important one, on

careful in their spending on diet, is utterly wasted. The
researches to which I have alluded showed that if such
a diet could be supplemented by eggs and meat it would
be sufficient, only this latter plan represents an im¬
possibility when the masses are concerned. There
remains the alternative to spend money on oatmeal and
other cereals, and on peas, beans, and lentils, to make

A BLOCK OF ONCE HEALTHY WHITE TIN TURNED INTO DISEASED GREY TIN—
THE RESULT OF THREE WEEKS' "ILLNESS."

The spread of the 1 ‘illness" is rapid, and if the slightly infected tin be left to itself for any length of time
it is soon a mass of disease. The tin swells, tears, and finally crumbles into a dust of extreme tenuity.
The dampness of the atmosphere seems to have little or nothing to do with the matter.

i at a later period of existence. Thi^
j fact teaches us the importance of

- r training mothers in the science of

infant-feeding, and of thus enabling them
to avoid the errors into which so many of
them fall in the matter of the healthy up¬
bringing of the young. Herbert Spencer, in
his “ Education,” makes a powerful appeal
in favour of the education of women in
health-science. Small comfort, he says, is
it to any woman when her child has died
from want of knowledge of what should have
been done in illness, that she “ can read

the original.” This is a scathing re¬
mark, but who shall say that it is
undeserved or unjust ?

There are many ways in which cheap
but nutritious diet could be utilised by
the masses. We are terribly insular and
conservative in the matter of our diet
concerns, and we iniss accordingly many
chances of improvement. The value of
such a fish as the herring, rich in fat
and in body-building substance, for ex¬
ample, escapes notice. Herrings and
potatoes form an admirable dinner which
might figure more frequently than they
do in the menu of the masses. Peas,
beans, and lentils have their virtues
as body-building and energy-producing
foods, yet to be discovered by the
working classes at large. Suppose
that, in place of spending money on tea
and coffee, which yield no return at all
in the way of nourishment, the masses
consumed cocoa instead, they would
then be presented with a food rich in
body - building elements, and containing
also a large percentage of fat and
starch, which are the foods that repre¬
sent the coal of the human engine. Let
us suppose, further, that meat - extracts
used extensively could be replaced by
other types of concentrated meat-foods—
say, of the Bovril type—then nourishment would be
ensured, for meat-extracts, pure and simple, are to be
placed on the same level as tea and coffee. They are
not foods, only stimulants, and money spent on them
under the idea that they are nutritious is misspent utterly.

Oatmeal and cereals are foods deserving a higher
place in the nourishment of the masses than they have
yet attained. The American workman has long appre¬
ciated their value, and he lives more cheaply so far

be difficult to find a more attractive volume than one
entitled “In Lotus-Land: Japan,” written and illus¬

recently by Macmillans. It is the record of three years
devoted to travel in the country, and is, in the first
place, the work of an expert photographer, for Mr.
Ponting acknowledges frankly his devotion to the
camera, and apologises for the accompanying letter-
press. His diffidence is uncalled for. The fine eye for
effect that makes nearly all the monochrome photo¬
graphs so successful has inspired and directed a service¬
able pen, and many readers of the book will feel that
they could have dispensed with the eight illustrations in
colour, which, for the most part, are conventional and of
little worth. Mr. Ponting has rambled through Kyoto
and Nara, through Tokyo and Nikko; he knows the
Bay of Enoura, so seldom visited by tourists ; he has
visited Hikon6 and the island of Miyajima in the
Inland Sea; he has seen service during the Russo-
Japanese war. Everywhere his camera has been busy,

perhaps, for a serious historical study; but

taken from many points of vantage, including the sum¬
mit, are among the finest yet published. Without
an exciting incident or surprising adventure, this story
of Japan has something of interest in every page.

for this

the writer may be forgiven, so lively and picturesque
is her description of Laud’s entry into Oxford to do
the honours of the University to Charles I. and the
Princes Palatine. The story of the leader of the
Royalist Horse, however, requires no embellishment
to make it romantic, and the more sober historical
style of the rest of the book only heightens the
effect of a career that was in itself a wild romance.
In Rupert the Stuart genius, with its gallantry, its
melancholy, its fine sympathy with art, burned in a
fierce, concentrated flame. Himself the heir of a
lost cause, Rupert spent the flower of his youth
in the vain attempt to retrieve the fortunes of his
uncle, Charles I. Between the two noble kinsmen
there existed a friendship that reveals them both
in their most amiable light. Had Rupert been less
exposed to malice such as Digby’s, and bad he
been allowed a freer hand, the Civil War might
have ended differently. It may be, however, that
success was not for the Prince. He was too brilli¬
ant, too impetuous. Again and again he jeopardised
his cause by not knowing when to draw rein. With

he has set down the impressions of
travel with the sincere and simple elo¬

told on every hand that Japan has
been spoiled, the freshness of its
charm destroyed by a generation of
sightseers; but Mr. Ponting knows
better: the country is still one of the
most fascinating in the world, nor have
the charm and courtesy of its people
suffered, as we have been taught to
believe, through unrestricted influence
with the West. Whether in the Shinto
Temple at Inari, or among the artist
craftsmen of Kyoto, in the pleasure-
gardens of Kamamoto. or on the
heights of Fuji, Mr. Ponting shows
that he has sympathy with the country
in all its aspects. He can interpret
with pen and camera the beauty of
mountains and valleys, and the charm
of gat dens that boast colouring un¬
known to the Western world ; he re¬
sponds to the appeal of the Buddhist
faith and the impressive splendour of
its ceremonial; he recognises the labour

In later years he distinguished him¬

strangely enough, even as a trader.

aptitudes, he was also an artist. He

method of engraving in mezzotint. His
masterpiece is the Head of the Execu¬

of the time
of travel is un¬
doubtedly one of
the chief charac¬
teristics of the
day. The effort
to achieve it is
being made not merely by increasing the
speed of the conveyances, but also by re¬
ducing the distance between the points of
departure and arrival wherever possible.

Among the most notable endeavours in
the latter direction is one which will shorten the
journey from any port on the Pacific side of
Mexico or
South America,
and England or
the rest of Eu¬
rope, not by
hours, but by
days—even, pos¬
sibly, by a week.

This magnificent
enterprise will
be achieved by
the Kansas City,

Mexico, and
Orient Railway,
which owes its ori¬
gin to the genius
of Mr. Arthur
E. Stilwell, the
man who built
the Kansas City
Southern Rail¬
way, which runs
in a straight
line from Kansas
City southward to Port Arthur on the Gulf of Mexico.

The business which this latter railway now handles greatly
exceeds the estimates of its founder. Mr. Stillwell, however
conceived a still greater enterprise — that of building the
present railway, which will result in saving a distance of
500 miles between the Pacific coast and Kansas City.
This is achieved by starting in Mexico from Topolobampo

Bay, which is more than 500 miles east of San Francisco

on - the Pacific coist - line, and running, vid Chihuahua,
Mexico, San Angelo, Texas, and Wichita, Kansas, to Kansas
City itself.

oranges, lemons,

bananas, sugar-cane, and other tropical pro¬
duce. In addition, there are numerous dis¬
tricts in which cotton, corn, alfalfa, and rubber,
etc., are produced. In Mexico, in addition to
cattle, timber, hides, and fruit, there are won¬
derful mineral resources to be drawn upon.

So great are they that it is estimated that
in minerals
alone this year
close on two
million pounds
sterling will be
taken out of the
States of Chihua¬
hua and Sonora.
The mineral part
of Mexico by
itself alone must
make the Kan¬
sas City, Mexico,
and Orient line
one of the great¬
est ore-carrying
railways in the
world.

It is obvious,
therefore, that
every mile of the
railway is bound
to produce rev¬
enue - bringing
freight at a constantly increasing rate. Evidence of this is
shown in the fact that a great firm built a smelter in the
city of Chihuahua three years ago at a cost of one million
sterling, and already it has proved so small that another
is to be built immediately, while a Chicago syndicate is
shipping over the line, from one of its mines, ore valued at
^6000 a car.

Great as are the present prospects of the line, they will
be considerably increased in the course of the next few
years, when the Panama Canal is finished. Topolobampo
will then be the nearest port of call adjacent to the land
of international ocean traffic. The harbour is said to be
the best on the Pacific coast south of San Francisco, and

and in operation. The portion in operation
within the United States extends from Wichita
to San Angelo, a distance of 510 miles, while
that in operation in Mexico is more than half
this length. In addition, there is a working
arrangement with another railway which gives
the line a further 126 miles in Mexico. Both
within the United States and Mexico a large
portion of the remainder of the road has not
only been graded, but is also in course of con¬
struction, so that the work is being actively
pushed on. Already thirty-two new towns have
been settled and established along the line
during the few years in which the road has
been operated, while more than 800,000 acres
of new farming - lands have been put under
cultivation in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas,
and it is estimated that over 4,500,000 acres
of farming-land will be tributary to the road
between Wichita and the Rio Grande alone, a
distance of 814 miles.

The area traversed by the line in the United
States is essentially agricultural, with no arid

AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE OF REINFORCED - CONCRETE BOX
CULVERT CONSTRUCTION AT INDIAN CREEK.

can, even now, be used by heavy - draught
vessels without the use of lighterage without
making any harbour improvements. The pro¬
spect of disposing of a very large tonnage of
coal which can be brought by short haul over
the railway is very good, and vessels can be
supplied with fuel at less than half what it
would cost by coaling vessels at Panama and
Colon.

Although the whole line is being built with
the best materials, and in the strongest pos¬
sible way, it is being constructed at the mini¬
mum cost. Its fixed charges are therefore ex¬
ceedingly small, and it has been calculated
that the road will only need to earn twelve shil¬
lings for each mile to provide for its fixed
charges, and, as has been well said, “ a rail¬
way that cannot earn so small a profit has no
right to exist.” The right of the Kansas City,
Mexico, and Orient Railway to exist is, under
such favourable conditions, likely to be one on
which its inaugurator and its shareholders alike
may well congratulate themselves, for its pro¬
spects are more than rosy.

The tramway, or temporary track, for running the concrete out to the pier-forms was laid at
the side of the permanent track on the completed part of the bridge. The tram-track was
extended a bridge-span length ahead of the completed work by
suspension from the boom of the derrick-car by wire cables. This
extension was 60 feet in length.

The bridge-work in Mexico is chiefly steel girders on stone foundation. In the case shown,
the girder was suspended from a traveller and run out to the end of the last complete span.

There it was slung between two sets of gin-poles, or A frames,
which, lilted ahead, brought the girder down upon the masonry
properly seated.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON PAYS THE RENT FOR THE MANOR OF STRATHFIELDSAYE: SETTING IN PLACE OVER THE BUST OF HIS GREAT ANCESTOR

THE BANNER PROVIDED BY HIS GRACE.

The Duke of Wellington holds the manor of Stfathficldsaye on condition that each year, on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo (June 18). he presents to the Sovereign a French flag,
a sign chat the estate is held by favour of the King, and a reminder that it was given to the first Duke as a reward for his services. Generally, the reigning Duke presents the banner in person;

indeed, he used to bear it to the Sovereign himself, riding on horseback. This year, the Court being in mourning, a representative of his Grace took the "rent" to Windsor, and saw it set

in place. The drawing shows Mr. G. E. Miles, Inspector of the Palace, performing this office, in the presence of the Duke's representative, one or two Court officials, and a couple of

attendants. The Duke of Marlborough retains the Blenheim estates by payment of a similar fee on the anniversary of the battle of Blenheim (August 13). In each case, when the new flag io

set in position, the old flag goes back to the Duke. Non-presentation of the flag would entail forfeiture of the estate.

ANDREW LANG ON THE PUBLICATION
OF A MURDERER’S CONFESSIONS.

N OT very often am I moved to utter what may be
called a moral protest; I must try to make it
merely an expostulation. The Strand Magazine is an
excellent thing in its way, and “ I would be much of a
hound'’ if I were not grateful for plenty of amusement,
of the most innocent kind, derived from its versatile
pa*ges.

A ROYAL CAVALIER i RUPERT. PRINCE PALATINE.
Lack of space compels us to give but a part of the beautiful

and of dynamite. VVe would not care to read, in a foreign
serial, the exciting confessions of men who succeeded in
murdering English officials or rulers. We have reached

But I hope that it will not often publish, as it has re¬
cently done, the confessions of a cold-blooded murderer'.
The victim may, for all that I know, have been a bad
and cruel member of the Russian political police. His

BY "HEART OF FLAME HOT RUPERT". SKETCHES ON AN ENVELOPE BY PRINCE RUPERT.
Rupert, Prince of the Palatinate, was born at Prague, in December 1619, and died in November 1683.
He was the third son of the Elector Palatine Frederick V. and Elizabeth of England, and nephew of
Charles I. He served with distinction in the Thirty Years' War against the Imperialists, and gained fame
as a cavalry leader in the English Civil War. He it was who captured Bristol in 1643, and surrendered
it two years later, and was a naval commander against the Parliament '(1648-53). Returning to England
in 1660, he became a Privy Councillor. In 1665, 1666, and 1673 he commanded against the Dutch fleet.

He was Governor of the Hudson Bay Company.

murderers may possess all the virtues
but one—a sense of fair play. It is
not fair play to throw bombs in the
hope of killing an individual, while
the odds are that you may kill a
number of harmless people, and blow
out your own bemused brains.

Assassination has been practised
and applauded by Governments, and
even by representatives of Christian
Churches. The less said the better,
perhaps, about Cardinals and Pro¬
testant reformers who incited to or
approved of murders from 1559 to
1600. They almost all were guilty ;
and all denounced murders when
perpetrated by the opposite party.

In a recent historical work, by a
clergyman probably of the most hu¬
mane character, 1 remember reading
such words as these, “ Who can deny
that such men were not far from the
spirit of our Lord?” Now the men
had just massacred, with great clum¬
siness and cruelty, an Archbishop, in
the presence of his daughter!

He was not a good man, not a
man of honour, and the murderers
were avenging a would-be murderer
of their own persuasion, whose con¬
viction had been obtained by con¬
scious or unconscious perjury ; yet
the avengers, certainly, were as far
as possible from the spirit of the
Founder of Christianity ; no mortal
can deny that fact, I think, if he
considers the question critically and
calmly. As far as I know, the Eng¬
lish people has always had a natural
and sportsmanlike hatred of assas¬
sination. It is a low thing, and

This sentiment, in English hearts, is almost
instinctive, and is creditable to the nature of
our people. We do not side with Brutus and
his gang, or with Harmodius and Aristogeiton,
or with Charlotte Corday.
The Catholics of England,
with all their wrongs, were
horrified by the odious
attempt of Guy Fawkes,
Catesby, and the rest.
The cause of the Cavaliers
was hindered, not helped,
by the murders of Doris-
laus and Ascham, and the
plots, happily unsuccessful,
against Oliver Cromwell.
Even as late as Napoleon’s
time there is a suspicion
that English officials were
not ignorant of a plot to
murder him. In fact, till
Prince Charlie put his foot
down on a scheme to shoot
the Duke of Cumberland
from an ambush while his
own party were still in
arms, I remember no em¬
phatic and successful pro¬
test from a political leader.
But our people would have
been bitterly ashamed of
any such dastardly suc¬
cess. No other people has
so clean a record as ours
in this matter. We may
not be more virtuous than
other nations, but we
have been more sports¬
manlike than priests and
preachers and statesmen
and noble-hearted revolu¬
tionaries.

It is a pity to encour¬
age sympathy with political
murders by publishing the

AFTER A MEZZOTINT BY PRINCE RUPERT 1 “HEAD OF THE EXECUTIONER OF SAINT JOHN.”
"Rupert paid a memorable visit to Brussels, memorable for himself because he learnt a new departure in art, and
memorable for art because, but for that visit, the new invention might have died with the artist who gave it birth.
The name of Ludvig von Siegen was already known to Rupert, who had admired the portraits which that artist had
achieved of the Prince and Princess of Orange, in a medium known as ‘the new method of printing.' These had
been executed in 1642—3. . . . The fact that the artist was also a soldier, and that Rupert was no mean artist, united
the two men by a double bond."

a position, in this matter, which ought
not to be shaken in ihe slightest
degree : it is a great conquest over
the beast in human nature.

Not to part on unkind terms with
the Strand , let me mention Sir Hiram
Maxim’s very amusing and puzzling
article on a Mr. Fay, who, in America,
performed the kind of tricks asso¬
ciated with the Davenport Brothers
in a way that Sir Hiram, after many
observations and experiments, could
not explain. I understand him to
say that even Mr. Maskelvne, that
“ master of magic and spells,” has
not produced any real imitation of
the feats.

Yet it is vaguely in my memory
that Mr. Fay, or another person of
the same name, was studied by
members of the Society for Psychical
Research, in its early days, and that
they were by no means satisfied with
his performances. Probably some
records survive in the Society’s
archives.

What does modern woman say to
this dictum, delivered by a lady in
“The Blind Child,” a domestic tale
published (fifth edition) in 1798?—

Every approach to what is called humor
(sic) ought to be discouraged in a woman :
it puts her too forward and too much
upon a level with an actress; add to that,
it makes her many enemies.

The Canadian Northern Railway System offers unrivalled opportunities
for reaching the best Holiday, Shooting, Fishing, and Boating Districts in
Canada—the Continent of Beautiful Scenery.

The Royal Liners land the traveller at Montreal, a centre from
which Niagara Falls, Lachine Rapids, Thousand Islands, Saguenay,
Laurentians, the beautiful Muskokas, the Rockies, and many other interest¬
ing and delightful spots can easily be visited. The sportsman has ample
opportunity for use of gun and rod; the sightseer revels in the most
alluring scenery and climate; first-class hotels abound.

Such a holiday cannot fail to benefit mind and body. The novelty of the
surroundings—the absolute freedom—the vastness and grandeur of landscape,
so different 0 from that which obtains at borne and on the crowded well-worn
tourist tracks of the old world, are sure to delight all who visit the Dominion.

O pleasanter password, or watchword, or gather¬
ing-cry, surely—call it what you will—for those who in
July and August and September would fain seek health
and strength, combined with pleasure and rest amid
beautiful and interesting scenes in the pure and
crisp, bracing air of the land of moor and
loch ; the best playground, surely, for the
modern Englishman who does not over¬
much care to put his money into the
pockets of the foreigner across the
Channel or North Sea. How to get
there most easily is one question ; by
the quickest, and the cheapest, and
the most comfortable route. Another
point is what to see when in the
North, how to pick and choose the
best sights, in that land of many
wonders, within reasonable limits of
time and expense. Aptly comes to

the special advantages offered by the “ West Coast

with a little local story of almost every place he
takes us to. And in like manner most of the

LADIES' PAGE,

A BLACK. Ascot was a novelty, and no cheerful one.

for, becoming as sables may be found to indi¬
viduals, there can be no question that the mass effect
of all-black garments is mournful and sombre. How¬
ever, as pearls and diamonds are admissible in cere¬
monial mourning and are nowadays not reserved, as
once was considered good form, for evening wear alone,
the tout'ensemble was brightened by jewels, especially
by fine necklaces and earrings* of pearls. Hats seemed
rather monotonously trimmed with big puffs of tulle;
osprey or wide - spreading artificial fanciful feather
aigrettes were hardly as popular as long spikes of
bearded barley or wheat (black, of course), the whim of
the hour. Turbans and big brims were almost equally
well patronised. Gowns of soft satin charmeuse inter¬
mingled with Ninon or mousseline de soie seemed most
favoured ; but soft, dull-surfaced silk, usually embroi¬
dered with bright silk thread, crepon, cr6pe-de-Chine,
Shantung, and chiffon were all worn. Bright jet was
much in evidence ; and embroidered gauze bands, the
ornamentation in high relief in floss silk, were much
adopted as a trimming, breaking up the heavy dead level
of blackness of material.

Scarves are undoubtedly extremely fashionable. Some
are very wide, and even slightly shaped to the shoulders,
so that they form practically shoit mantles or capelets.
Younger women wear the plain, flat scaif that needs
careful drawing over the shoulders and clever carrying
over the arms to look graceful. Long black Spanish
lace scarves are handsome, but seem a little heavy in
effect. Net, chiffon, brocaded gauze, or scarves com¬
posed of alternate lines of net and ostrich or marabout
feather trimming, are all used. Ostrich-feather boas are
also very fashionable; and, now that we have returned
to the use of certain colours, it will be found that a
heliotrope, or grey, or cream-coloured ostiich boa forms
a most becoming frame to the face. Dainty pale
tints are also delightful in chiffon scarves, to wear
upon plain white embroidered muslin, or broderie
Anglaise gowns. Delicate embroideries in colours,
gold, or silver, are bestowed upon the ends and
borders of many of these diaphanous draperies ; and.
if gracefully carried, they are a great addition to the
elegance of the whole appearance. Sometimes a light
spangling of sequins is added, but it is hardly suit¬
able for promenade wear.

Earrings, it may be mentioned, were almost uni¬
versally worn at Ascot. The small patterns are used
in the daytime — notably a single pearl on a small
diamond top, or a short chain, all of brilliants, or of
diamonds and some coloured stone; but for evening
wear—such as at the Opera and at smart restaurant
and private dinner-parties—long, dangling trails of dia¬
monds or pearls in the ear-lobes give light beside the face
on the majority of well-dressed women. Undoubtedly
earrings are generally becoming; and, moreover, there is
no better situation for the display of superb specimen

stones, if one luckily owns such gems. Critical males
sometimes call the practice barbaric—well, and what if
it is ? One good cid gentleman used to inquire why I
did not also bore a hole in my nose for a ring ? I found
a reply simply veracious—I did not think that would
be either ornamental or becoming, while the earrings
were both. He would reply that he would never
believe in the seriousness of the mind of a woman
who put diamonds in holes in her ears. I would
retort that 1 was of the same opinion as John Wesley
when he was reproached with the liveliness of the
nines set to hymns under his directions. He replied
that he did not see why brightness should be the
monopoly of evil—so 1 have never been able to com¬
prehend why becoming decoration and pretty costume
should be considered the prerogative solely of brain¬
less, ignorant, or self - centred little geese in our
sex. Then he would fall back on his own dislike
to earrings—and, of course, there is no arguing with
taste! But, abstractedly considered, I believe most
people would admit that the “swinging censers of
light” beside the face are charming, so long as the
countenance to which they call attention is pleasing;
and that bright gems hung in the ears are attractive, at
all events, while the eyes that flash beside them are
sufficiently bright to match the gems. For old women,
earrings can have but one merit—to advertise the splen¬
dour of their possessions. These two ideas are, of
course, always the support of the jewellers—the desire,
by ornament, to enhance either the beauty or the im¬
pressiveness of the appearance.

It is true there are few old women now! Our ex¬
tended youth—the really longer duration of good looks—
is due to a combination of many circumstances, but one
is the greater care now avowedly given to the com¬
plexion. The use of a good cream is advisable, and
many of the most famous beauties testify to their
finding the ideal one for their own complexions in
Creme Simon. This high-class preparation contains no
animal fat, the base being glycerine ; hence it cannot
cause the growth of superfluous hairs, while it softens
and tones up' the skin. Poudre Simon and the excel¬
lent, bland soap of the same name are also desirable
adjuncts to the toilet. Creme Simon can be purchased
in a “ flacon de voyage” specially arranged for tra¬
vellers, to whom it is invaluable in case of sunburn,
stings, and all such circumstances.

• ‘ How many get absolutely tired of the
drudgery involved before they can play
anything at all ? To play well by hand
not only seems, but actually is, right beyond
the powers of the great majority. It is
too difficult a matter.

When you get a Pianola Piano you have fr , nl<nt[

the whole of music at your command and the * *

greatest living musicians to guide and direct ^

your efforts. You can plav just what you like,
just how you like, and just when you like. The f
Pianola Piano is a unique instrument for
many reasons. One is sufficient, and that v * Ig&SStS''*'
is its extraordinary device, the Metrostyle.

The Metrostyle, which you can get only in the Pianola Piano,
allows masters of music, men and women whose names are house¬
hold words to you, to place on record their actual interpretation
of compositions which have made them famous. It allows you to
play music cxaclly as these masters have played it. Paderewski,
for instance, is a great Chopin exponent. You can use
the Metrostyle and play Chopin exactly as Paderewski has
played. You play under his direction just as much as if he
were actually present. You are not, of course, bound to use the
Metrostyle, but when you do so it is an immense educational
privilege.

All the unique features of the Pianola Piano, the terms
on which you can exchange your present piano for it, and
the easy way in which you can pay for it are fully explained in
Catalogue “H.”

Is it not well worth your while to write for it to-day ?

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

M ANY a man, particularly if he be a careful soul,
hesitates long before embarking upon the pur¬
chase of a motor-car, solely because he can get no
definite pronouncement of what the vehicle will cost
him to run. As a matter of fact, it is a difficult question
even for an expert to answer, for so much depends upon
circumstances, and something on luck. But perhaps a

medical man in regular practice takes as much out of his
car as anybody, take it all round, and so figures ren¬
dered by a medical man as to the cost of using a De
Dion car for the past twelve months—which car has been
in regular work since 1903—may have interest for many.
Here are the figures : Petrol, £14 is. 6d.; oil, £1 2s. 6d.;
ignition, £2 4s. id. ; tyres, £13 10s. nd.; repairs,
£7 2s. 1 id.; lamps, 10s. 9d.; livery additional,^! 7s. 5d.;
grooming and furnishing, 17s. id. ; tools additional,
4s. iod. ; total, ^41 2s. The distance covered is not
given, but taking a line through the petrol at eighteen
miles and is. 2d. per gallon, the distance could not have
been less than 4300 miles, and probably a good deal
more.

At last the powers that be have vouchsafed some
information with regard to the imposition—I use the word
advisedly—the imposition of the taxes upon motor¬
cars according to the true intent and meaning of the
Finance Act. The amounts payable are to be governed
by cylinder-area alone, for which, on the whole, motor¬
ists may in some measure be thankful ; but a glance
at the excellent tax-table given in the Autocar of the
nth inst. will show at once how unequally the allotted
taxes bear upon the virious car-owners.

Now' to dwell a moment on the figures as given in
the Autocar and to take, first, the question of single¬
cylinder cars. The owner of a little vehicle of 6 6-h.p.
is mulcted in £3 3s. per annum, but by sticking to a
single cylinder he can use a car of 118-h.p. for the same
money. In the matter of twin-cylinder engines, if he
has i2*4-h.p. he pays ^4 4s. and can go up to 15'6-h.p.
for the same money. Another half-horse-power, how¬
ever, still with two cylinders, will plunge him into the
expenditure of another £2 2 s. per annum. Take, then,
the case of the most popular sizes of four-cylinder
engines, which range between 12-h.p. and, say, 18-h.p.

For the bare dozen he pays £4 4s., and can go up to
15‘8-h.p. for an equal sum; but here ’4—less than a
half-horse-power—commits him to another two guineas.
As I have suggested, could anything be more incon¬
gruous, disproportionate, or ill-considered ?

The cream and glory of the great German contest for
the trophy presented annually by that prince of good
sportsmen, Prince Henry of Prussia, have gone to the
Austrian Daimler
cars, which fin¬
ished one, two,
three. The only
British vehicles
entered — the
three 20 - h.p.
Vauxhalls — do
not appear in the
first twenty, but
this must not be
scored in any way
against them.
The Vauxhalls
were just standard
20-h.p. cars, such
as any purchaser
of one of these
fine vehicles is
supplied with,
while the German
vehicles which
finished in the

. . first flight were,

notwithstanding the chevaux de f'rise of rules, actually
“freaks” as to engine, body, and equipment.

By the programme of the visit of the R.A.C. and
its associated club to the ancient city of Chester
to-morrow, Satur¬
day, it is evident
that many of the
functions will be
of quite a civic
character. The
visitors will be
received by the
Mayor and Cor¬
poration, and
members and
Associates will
be invited to in¬
spect the plate
and ancient
charters of the
city. The Dean
of Chester will
conduct a party
over the Cathe¬
dral, after which
lunch will be
taken with the
Mayor ; and in
the afternoon a
drive will be
made to Eaton
Hall, the seat
of the Duke of
Westminster. In
the evening the sixth Provincial Dinner will be
held in the Assembly Room of the Town Hall,
Chester, the Mayor presiding.

THE CRUCIFER AEROPLANE.

T HE problem of the aeroplane has been attacked on
many sides, but few designs have shown such
originality as the machine just patented by a Sussex
gentleman, Mr. L. B. Goldman. His first endeavour has
been to arrive at a formation which w'ould be more suit¬
able for high - speed work than the present frail and
skeleton types, in which the men and mechanism are
fully exposed. The Goldman machine has a central body
of torpedo shape, and within this the pilot, passengers,
engine and stores will be housed.

But the vital principle of Mr. Goldman’s patent is
his new method of securing stability. In every other
aeroplane the wings and body are rigidly held together;
but in the “ Crucifer ” machine the planes or wings
are mounted on a ball-bearing collar, which is fixed
on the central body. Thus, if not held in control, the
planes could oscillate freely on this collar without impart¬
ing their motion to the central body. The effect of
this is that in the case of a gust of wind tilting the
planes at one side and depressing them at the other
the central body is not heeled over, as in the case of
other machines where wings and body are all joined
together.

By a most ingenious automatic arrangement, the
oscillations of the planes or wings are limited and
checked on the Crucifer ” aeroplane, and this device
always tends to keep them horizontal, and so to main¬
tain lateral stability. In other machines this has to be
done by hand-controlled devices, and it makes a ver)’
severe call upon the skill and endurance of the aviator.
In fact, until automatic stability in some form or other
is obtained, the aeroplane must be considered imperfect.

Yet another striking feature of Mr Goldman’s in¬
vention is that the central body is mounted on trunnions
or pivots provided by the supporting chassis, and an
arrangement under the pilot’s control enables the body

to be accurately balanced fore’and aft when on the
ground, and locked in that position. When in the air
he can tilt the whole body upwards or downwards, and

The **Crucifer,” which is the design of Mr. L. B. Goldman, presents a number of remarkable features. Space will not
permit mention of them in detail here, but sufficient particulars will be found set forth in this issue. Meantime,
it mar be said that the flying - machine is designed to carry pilot and passengers in a central body of torpedo-like shape.

thus steer the vessel on an up or down course without
the employment of special elevating planes.

The engine drives two propellers, and the inventor is
working out a plan by which the motor can also drive
the road-wheels, if it is necessary to transport the
machine over the roads. To further this end, he makes
the wings capable of folding back, and the tail can be
detached^so that the vehicles would be only eighteen
feet long and not inconveniently wide.

Mr. Goldman has not yet carried his projects beyond
the model form , and although, until tests with a full-
sized machine have been made, it would be unwise
to forecast the actual results obtainable, the ideas
embodied in this new machine give great promise.
It is tolerably certain that the sporting aeroplane of
to-day is but a passing form, and we must make
radical departures from current ideas if a machine
is to be arrived at which will render aerial navigation
really practicable._ R. P. Hearnr.

We have received from Mr. William Heinemann the
first volume of a new edition of “ The Encyclopaedia of
Sport,” which is issued in paper covers at is. net. It
is edited by the Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire, and is
very tastefully produced with several coloured plates,
including ” Bleiiot Crossing the Channel,” and numerous
black - and-white illustrations. This volume includes
articles on Aeronautics (by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu),
Alligators (by Lord Northcliffe), Ammunition (by H. F.
Phillips), Angling (by John Bickerdyke), an Indian
section (by H. S. Thomas'), Antelopes (by R. Lydekker),
and the beginning of an article on Antelope Shooting.
The existing articles have been carefully revised, and many
new ones added, among the contributors, besides those
already mentioned, being Messrs. W. Baxendale, B. J. T.
Bosanquet, H. A. Bryden, H. Hesketh - Prichard, and
many other well-known writers.

By inadvertence it was stated in the issue for June 11
that Mr. S. F. Cody was the first man in Great Britain to

Brooklands in June 1908.

THE MOST RE-MARKABLE CEREMONY AT THE CONSECRATION OF WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL: ARCHBISHOP BOURNE TRACING
THE LETTERS OF THE GREEK AND LATIN ALPHABETS ON FORTY-SEVEN HEAPS OF ASHES ON THE FLOOR OF THE CATHEDRAL.

We give some details of thi* remarkable ceremony under the photograph of it that appears elsewhere in this number, and in our article “The Consecration of Westminster Cathetjral." It is
interesting to note that the history of the ceremony has long been a puzzle to ecclesiastical archeologists. The mose popular theory is that it originated in the procedure of the Roman land
surveyors, who traced two transverse lines in the first instance on the lands they wished to measure. The Rev. Herbert Thurston (writing in the ".Month”) suggests that Celtic influences
have much to do with the ceremony, quoting, as one of several points in favour of his case, Nennius’ statement of Sc. Patrick that: "He wrote three hundred and sixty-five alphabets (abegetorial
or more, and he alco founded churches in the cam* number, three hundred and sixty-five. He ordained three hundred and sixty-five Bishops also, or more, in whom was the Spirit of God.**

THE PLAYHOUSES.

! " PRISCILLA RUNS AWAY." AT THE HAYMARICET.

T HE Countess Arniin’s play, in four acts, produced on
Monday night at the Haymarket Theatre, is one
of those mannered little comedies, decked out with
gorgeous costumes and Ruritanian sentiment, which
stand in the following of “The Prisoner of Zenda ”
and of *• The King’s Mirror.” And the moral it
would teach is the moral inculcated by Mr. Anthony
Hope in both of the books mentioned—namely, that
royal duty, like every other kind of duty, cannot safely
be shirked, and that royal blood necessarily sets its
possessor far apart from average human beings. The
Countess tells her story in this wise. In the first act
(which is far too long) the Princess Priscilla of Lothen-
I Kunitz, an imaginary German Grand-Duchy, leaves
home 111 the company of her tutor, Herr Fritzing, the
Grand Ducal Librarian, partly because she cannot, in
her father’s palace, carry out this gentleman’s teaching,
partly because she objects to her threatened betrothal
to her cousin Henry, Prince of Lucerne. In the
second act we find her Highness settled with Herr
Fritzing in an English country cottage, living under
an as-limed name, upsetting the village by her gener-
I osity, antagonising the vicar’s wife by her easy dis¬
regard of her, and winning over to her service the
vicar’s son and the young squire. The third act,

I which ought to be cut ruthlessly, shows things going
all wrong with the Princess. She has spent all her
money ; tradesmen are clamouring for payment ; the
old woman whose cottage she has taken, and whom she
lias befriended, proves ungrateful ; the two young men
both have the audacity to make love to her, each in
1 his own unwelcome way; and, unkindest cut of all, her
cousin tracks her to tile cottage, and becomes a witness
of her embarrassments .nui distress, which drives her
to run away again, this time home. In the fourtli act.
the two young people are both back at the Grand-
Ducal palace, and Prince Henry, desperate of winning the
Princess, is on the point of departing to his own country
when she asks him to take her with him, and lie con-
I seats. The players have, of course, little scope for real
I acting; but Mr. Lyall Swete almost makes the librarian a
| creature of flesh and blood, Mr. Charles Maude gives
j distinction to the part of the Prince, and Miss Neilson-
| Terry, who reproduces some of the vocal mannerisms
of her mother, Miss Julia Neilson, plays the Princess
with charm, intelligence, and sometimes real feeling.

fHE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, July ?, I 9 I 0.-3

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

' I ‘'HE other day I went to see the Irish Plays, re-
cently acted by real Irishmen—peasants and poor
folk—tinder the inspiration of Lady Gregory and Mr.
\V. B. Yeats. Over and above the excellence of the
acting and the abstract merit of the plays (both of
which were considerable), there emerged the strange
and ironic interest which has been the source of so
much fun and sin and sorrow—the interest of the
Irishman in England. Since we have sinned by
creating the Stage Irishman, it is fitting enough that
we should all be rebuked by Irishmen
on the stage. We have all seen
some obvious Englishman perform¬
ing a Paddy. It was, perhaps, a
just punishment to see an obvious
Paddy performing the comic and
contemptible part of an English
gentleman. I have now seen both,
and I can lay my hand on my heart
(though my knowledge of physiology
is shaky about its position) and de¬
clare that the Irish English gentle¬
man was an even more abject and
crawling figure than the English
Irish servant. The Comic Irish¬
man in the English plays was
at lc<ist given credit for a kind of
chaotic courage. The Comic English¬
man in the Irish plays was repre¬
sented not only as a fool, but as a
nervous fool; a fussy and spasmodic
prig, who could not be loved either
lor strength or weakness. But all
this only illustrates the fundamental
fact that both the national views
are wrong; both the versions are
perversions. The rollicking Irish¬
man and the priggish Englishman
are alike the mere myths generated
by a misunderstanding. It would
be rather nearer the truth if we
spoke of the rollicking Englishman
and the priggish Irishman. But
even that would be wrong too.

Unless people are near in soul
they had better not be near in neigh¬
bourhood. The Bible tells us to love
our neighbours, and also to love our
enemies ; probably because they are
generally the same people. And
there is a real human reason for
this. You think of a remote man
merely as a man ; that is, you think
of him in the right way. Suppose
I say to you suddenly—“ Oblige me
by brooding on the soul of the man
who lives at 351, High Street, Is¬
lington.” Perhaps (now I come to
think of it) you are the man who
lives at 351, High Street, Islington ;
for this journal has a wide circu¬
lation. In that case substitute some
other unknown address and pursue
the intellectual sport. Now you will
probably be broadly right about
the man in Islington whom you have
never seen or heard of, because you
will begin at the right end — the
human end. The man in Islington
is at least a man. The soul of the
man in Islington is certainly a soul.

He also has been bewildered and
broadened by youth; he also has been tortured and
intoxicated by love ; he also is sublimely doubtful about
death. You can think about the soul of that nameless
man who is a mere number in Islington High Street.
But you do not think about the soul of your next-door
neighbour. He is not a man ; he is an environment. He
is the barking of a dog; he is the noise of a pianola;
he is a dispute about a party wall; he is drains that are
»yorse than yours, or roses that are better than yours.

never known the forest we shall know at least that
it is a forest, a thing grown grandly out of the earth ;
we shall realise the root 1 ^ toiling in the terrestrial
darkness, the trunks reared in the sylvan twilight.

But to find the forest is to find the fringe of
the forest. To approach it from without is to see
its mere accidental outline ragged against the sky.
It is to come close enough to be superficial. The
remote man, therefore, may stand for manhood; for
the glory of birth or the dignity of
death. But it is difficult to get
Mr. Brown next door (with whom you
have quarrelled about the creepers) to
stand for these things in any satis¬
factorily symbolic attitude. You do
not feel the glory of his birth ; you
are more likely to hint heatedly at
its ingloriousness. You do not, on
purple and silver evenings, dwell
on the dignity and quietude of his
death; you think of it, if at all.
rather as sudden. And the same is
true of historical separation and
proximity. I look forward to the
same death as a Chinaman ; bar¬
ring one or two Chinese tortures,
perhaps. I look back to the same
babyhood as an ancient Phoenician ;
unless, indeed, it were one of that
special Confirmation class of Sunday''
School babies who were passed through
the fire to Moloch. But these distant
or antique terrors seem merely tied
on to the life: they are not part
of its texture. Babylonian mothers
(however they' yielded to etiquette)
probably loved their children ; and
Chinamen unquestionably reverenced
their dead. It is far different when
two peoples are close enough to each
other to mistake all the acts and
gestures of everyday life. It is far
different when the Baptist baker in
Islington thinks of Irish infancy,
passed amid Popish priests and im¬
possible fairies. It is far different
when the tramp from Tipperary thinks
of Irish death, coming often in
dying hamlets, in distant colonies,
in English prisons or on English
gibbets. There childhood and death
have lost all their reconciling quali¬
ties; the very details of them do not
unite, but divide. Hence England
and Ireland see the facts of each
other without guessing the meaning
of the facts. For instance, we may
see the fact that an Irish housewife
is careless. But we fancy falsely
that this is because she is scatter¬
brained ; whereas it is, on the con¬
trary, because she is concentrated—
on religion, or conspiracy, or tea.
You may call her inefficient, but you
certainly must not call her weak. In
the same way, the Irish see the fact
that the Englishman is unsociable ;
they do not see the reason, which is
that he is romantic.

This seems to me the real value
of such striking national sketches
as those by Lady Gregory and Mr. Synge, which I saw
last week. Here is a case where mere accidental
realism, the thing written on the spot, the ” slice of
life,” may, for once in a way, do some good. All the
signals, all the flags, all the declaratory externals of
Ireland we are almost certain to mistake. If the
Irishman speaks to us, we are sure to misunderstand
him. But if we hear the Irishman talking to himself,
it may begin to dawn on us that he is a man.

Now, all these are the wrong ends of a man; and
a man, like many other things in this world, such as
a cat-o’-nine-tails, has a large number of wrong ends,
and only one right one. These adjuncts are all tails, so
to speak. A dog is a sort of curly tail to a man ; a sub¬
stitute for that which man so tragically lost at an early
stage of evolution. And though I would rather myself
go about trailing a dog behind me than tugging a
pianola or towing a rose-garden, yet this is a matter
of taste, and they are all alike appendages or things

THE CONSECRATION OF THE LADY CHAPEL OF LIVERPOOL CATHEDRAL:
THE INTERIOR OF THE CHAPEL. SEEN FROM THE COMMUNION TABLE.

As we have occasion to note elsewhere in this number, the Lady Chapel of. the new Liverpool Cathedral was
consecrated on Wednesday last by the Right Rev.' Francis James, Bishop of Liverpool j the Most Rev. Cosmo, Lord
Archbishcp of York, and other Bishops assisting. The order of procession on the occasion was as follows: the Civic
Regalia, the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, the Town Clerk, the Mace-Bearer, the Executive Committee, the two Marshal.-,
the Precentor, the Cathedral Choir, Clergy (not being Canons or Chaplains), Canons and Proctors in Convocation, the
two Archdeacons, the visiting Bishops, each with his Chaplain, the Lord Archbishop of Dublin with two Chaplains,
the Mace-Bearer, the two Registrars, the Chancellor of the Diocese, the Lord Bishop of Liverpool with three Chaplains,
and the Lord Archbishop of York with three Chaplains and* Apparitor.

dependent upon man. But besides his twenty tails,
every man really has a head, a centre of identity, a
soul. And the head of a man is even harder to find
than the head of a Skye terrier, for man has nine
hundred and ninety-nine wrong ends instead of one.

It is no question of getting hold of the sow by the
right ear; it is a question of getting hold of the
hedgehog by the right quill, of the bird by the right
feather, of the forest by the right leaf. If we have

NEW VIEWS ABOUT
APPENDICITIS.

THE LIVING EMBLEM OF PIETY AND
GRATITUDE: THE STORK AT HOME.
In heraldry, the stork is an emblem of piety and
gratitude, and, as such, is a frequent bearing in

_

~ lx. trouble which may

be said to have been somewhat suddenly exploited and
described. Only a few years ago, comparatively speaking,
it was unknown, or, at least, surgeons had not diagnosed
its nature with the accuracy exhibited to-day. First of all, it
may be assumed that cases of appendicitis were included
under the general name of “peritonitis,” a term still used
to indicate inflammation of the lining membrane of the ab¬
domen. This ailment, still represented among us, may be
regarded as a more or less general ailment of the part
or tissue affected, whereas appendicitis partakes more dis¬
tinctly of the nature
of a special affec¬
tion, limited to a
definite part of the
digestive system
and to the more
immediate surround¬
ings of that part.

It was when this
localisation of the
disease was noted,
both as a result of
diagnosis and of
operative procedure,
and verified by post¬
mortem examina¬
tion, that appendi¬
citis was clearly
separated from the
generalised ailment.

Furthermore, it was
seen that while the
causes of periton¬
itis might in many
cases be of similar
nature to those giv¬
ing rise to appen¬
dicitis, there was
nevertheless to be
taken into account
special features in
the latter ailment
whereby its limita¬
tion to a special
region was deter¬
mined. What anat¬
omists call the “ appendix ” (or, to give it its full
name, the “ appendix vermiformis ”) is represented
by a narrow organ, averaging some three or four
inches in length, and of the thickness of a goose quill,
or of the stem of a tobacco-pipe. It is a blind struc¬
ture—that is, it has no opening at its free end—and is
penetrated by a small central canal. It exists as an
appendage to a certain part of the large bowel or intes¬
tine, known as the “caecum.” The intestine, it should
be borne in mind, constituting by far the greater portion
ot the digestive system, is a tube measuring in man
about twenty-six feet. Within this structure the larger
part of the work of digestion is accomplished. The
small intestine, into which food passes directly from the
sromach, measures about twenty feet, and the large
bowel completes the remaining length. The ccecum is

the first section of the latter portion of
the intestine. In man, and many other
animals, it exhibits a highly modified struc¬
ture. It may be of very great length, as in
the rabbit and horse, and no trace of it
is found in the weasel, hedgehog, porpoise,
and some other animals. In man we have

to regard the ccecum, therefore, as a dwindled
remnant or vestige of a part of the intestine much
better developed in certain lower forms.

The appendix, in its turn, represents a survival and
rudiment of what we may regard as the end of the
once large ccecum ; so that, in the process of evolu¬
tion, we may figure first the diminution of the extremity
of the ccecum to form the appendix ; and second, the
lessening in size and importance of the bulk of the
caecum itself. That this idea is correct seems to be
supported by the fact that the caecum to - day is a
mere cul-de-sac, into which the small intestine opens
at a right angle, the bulk of the caecum lying below
the juncture of the two divisions of the bowel. Most
authorities regard the caecum as practically, and the

appendix as
actually,
useless parts
of the bowel. They
refer to “a previous es®e Love Ptjilfre.
state of things,” so to •'
speak, and it is diffi¬
cult to discover in
the records of physiology any function in the way of digestion
either can discharge. The position of the caecum and appen¬
dix, placed thus like a kind of trap in the main line ol .he
digestive tube, seems naturally to lay them open—especially
the coecum—to retain indigestible matters. The presence of
such matters was long ago known to set up an affection which
was called “typhlitis,” and the idea that irritation of the
appendix, giving rise to appendicitis, really begins in the
ccecum, is by no means an unlikely theory of the origin of
the disease. This opinion may be held even in face of the

fact that cases are
known in which ap¬
pendicitis has been
set up directly
through the presence
in the appendix of
some minute body,
such as a pin or a
tooth - brush hair.
Probably, it is really
infected in most
cases from the cae¬
cum itself, and from
the liability for in¬
digestible and irri¬
tating matters to
accumulate therein.

Recently a dis¬
cussion has arisen
regarding the ques¬
tion whether appen¬
dicitis may not be
infectious. It is diffi¬
cult to find any ade¬
quate support for
this view. Appendi¬
citis is as much a
personal trouble as
is toothache, and the
argument that the oc¬
currence of a num¬
ber of cases of the
one disease proves
its infective nature
would hold just as
No special microbe has

sound in the case of the other,
been demonstrated to be associated with appendicitis—
that is, in the light of a specific cause ; yet if the ailment
were of infective nature, itjs clear some germ or other
must be the cause of-the conveyance of the malady.

Again, it is highly unlikely that, having regard to
the seat of the trouble, infection should be possible.
Even in typhoid fever, affecting the bow’el, infection
is not common, and practically unknown if proper pre¬
cautions be taken. We may rather hold, from all the
evidence, that if appendicitis is common, it is so because
the conditions favouring its development are well repre¬
sented ; and it has, indeed, never been proved that
anything like an epidemic of the ailment has ever been
chronicled or observed. Andrew Wilson.

the ashes and writing of the alphabets. The ashes are

strewn in two transverse lines, so as to mark the entire

floor of the church with a gigantic St. Andrew’s cross ;

and down each line the Bishop proceeds, tracing with

his crozier first the Greek and then the Latin alphabet.

Here we have a link with the Christians of classical Rome; \
for the tracing of transverse diagonal lines was the method (CShD
by which Roman surveyors marked out a plot of

- land for ownership. By adding thereto the sacred

symbol of the alphabet, the Alpha and Omega, the Bishop
marks the ground plan for ever, with the signum Christi,
.. traced on lines which themselves display the Divine initial.

by the sacred monogram within, now receives a still more

mptible doctrine; with ashes, the symbol of repentance;
and with wine, the symbol of the Divinity of Christ. With
Em this fourfold water the Bishop sprinkles first the altar, and

w~k then all the interior walls of the church. This act accomp¬

lished, the great popular ceremonial of the day takes place,
the joyful procession, with triumphant psalms and chants,
of all the people, the clergy, and the Bishop, to fetch into
this, their new' place of worship, the body (now’ represented
by relics) of a martyr or saint, to be placed within the altar.

v A UNIQUE
ceremonial
took place last Tues¬
day at Westminster.
Within the walls of
the finest Byzantine
church of modern Europe a ritual was celebrated which
iqJj} takes us back to the catacombs of the persecuted
Roman Christians, to the forest churches of the Frankish
tribes, to the wattle chapels of our own Celtic and Saxon
y missionaries, to the splendid Norman cathedrals of their

A n successors. The earlv Roman Christians gathered, when thev
could, at the tombs of the martyrs; within their churches,
they enshrined the bodies of their heroic dead ; and
from them especially has come dowm the sepulchral |" ,==
element of the present rite. The Gallican or Frankish
Bishops laid stress on the purification of their churches by
the baptismal element of water ; hence the reiterated sprink¬
lings of the ritual. The Celtic Church seems to have attached _

a mystical significance to the alphabet, and the strange rite
of the inscription of the alphabet, on lines of ashes crossing
the church floor, may be derived from the practice of the
earliest Irish Bishops. A beautiful legend relates how St.

Peter himself consecrated Westminster Abbey, anointing the
twelve consecration crosses on the walls, and writing the
alphabet in ashes on the floor. We have a vivid picture of
a great Saxon consecration ceremony at Ripon. St. Wilfrid,
Archbishop of York, consecrated the famous church, in the |H
presence of Egfrid, King of Northumbria, and of the Abbots
and Ealdormen of the kingdom. The Archbishop, we are
told, consecrated the altar, and vested it with purple and
gold, and “ all the

THE ENGLISH CENTRE OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM: WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL

FROM THE DRAWING BY OUR SPECIAL ARTIST, JOSEPH PENNELL

A SUPERB MEMORIAL TO THE FIRST ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER: THE METROPOLITICAL CATHEDRAL OF WESTMINSTER.

The great Roman Catholic Cathedral which was consecrated by Archbishop Bourne this week, owes its being to the desire of Cardinal Wiseman, first Archbishop of Westminster, that a
cathedral might be erected for his Metropolitan See. The Cardinal died in February of 1865, and it was then that the project of a cathedral waa taken up as a fitting memorial of his great
services to the Roman Catholic Church in England. The architect was the late John Francis Bentley. At the summit of the campanile, which is known as St. Edward’s Tower, is a cross
containing a relic of the Holy Cross. In the border are photographs oi the Bishop of Plymouth ; the Bishop of Shrewsbury, who consecrated the Altar of the Sacred Heart and St. Michael ;
the Bishop of Leeds; the Bishop of Portsmouth, who sang the Pontifical Mass of the Dedication; the Bishop of Clifton, who consecrated the Altar of SS. Gregory and Augustine; the Bishop
of Menevia, who consecrated the Altar of St. George and the English Mirtyrs : the Bishop of Northampton, who consecrated the Alcir of St. Andrew and the Saints of Scotland; the
Bishop of Liverpool, who consecrated the Altar of St. Joseph; the Bishop of Nottingham, who consecrated the Altar of St. Paul; and Monsignor Howlett. Administrator of the Cathedral.

Alaska.

When a man adds to the intense love of an
adopted country considerable experience of its
varied life and a tolerably fluent pen, he is able
'S to give the public a very readable volume.

Alaska has not been honoured to any marked
extent by literary men, and there is ample room for
“Trailing and Camping in Alaska,” by Addison
M. Powell, a book clearly written for the American
market, but published in England by Hurst and '
Blackett, Ltd. The author tells the story of ten
years’ labour in Alaska as explorer, prospector,
and hunter. He would seem to have cultivated
humour by a study of Mark Twain, and has a
fine contempt for the King’s English as spoken
on this side of “ the drink ” ; but, despite slang,
the narrative is very attractive, for Mr. Powell has
a natural instinct for the incidents and experiences
that appeal, and he is never dull. He seems to be
a born explorer, one who can laugh danger to
scorn and make light of troubles that would send a
“tenderfoot” to an untimely grave. Not hunger,
cold, glaciers, grizzly bears, floods, seasickness,
mosquitoes, gnats, murderous Indians, or American
spelling can stir his deep content. It is clear that
he rejoices in more than a mortal's proper share
of high spirits, though they do not lead him to
minimise the discomforts of a life in Alaska.
There the reward of the few has been wealth,
and of the many, disappointment, if not disaster.

Mr. Powell’s share of the experience that Alaska is
able to provide has been a remarkable one, and
his book, for all the roughness and occasional
coarseness that disfigure its pages, is a very
human document. Works of this kind seldom reach
the English reader : they make a far readier
appeal in a land where the life described is more
clearly understood. All Mr. Powell’s travel has
only sufficed to enable him to deal with one sixth
of Alaska’s area, but he has found some splendid
photographs to aid his spirited narrative in show¬
ing us what the land is like, and we close the
volume with the feeling that we would be glad
to shake the author’s hand.

not only the European East, as when Greece
colonised the Italian island, but the veritable
East —the Asiatic Orient and the Orientalised
Northern Africa, whence the “ Moor,” the
“Saracen,” the pirate under many names,
threatened the long Italian littoral for so
many centuries, leaving a traditional terror
that lasts to our time. The author of this
attractive book lived, as simply as she
writes, among Sicilians, and her knowledge

is household knowledge. She herself must have been
the object of a watchful observation, at least as
curious as her own, for in Sicily she was the one
woman free to come and go, to walk and ride, or
so much as to look on at the works and ways of
men. It is in the works and ways of women that
the profound and ancient Orientalism of Sicilians
chiefly consists. The women are strictly homekeep¬

not stop to listen to any street music, will not
linger where men can see them. A combination
of Christian good conduct and Mohammedan
seclusion makes of them the most ascetic of their
sex. The picture of agricultural life and of the
life of the small town, as Mme. Caico saw it, is
by no means melancholy. But far different is her
account of the mines. It is now many years
since a revelation of child-life in the Sicilian
mines wrung the hearts of many who were reached
by the terrible reports. Since then the employ¬
ment of quite little children has been forbidden,
but boys of a delicate and critical age are still
subject to an unspeakable cruelty, against which
civilised feeling, and especially English feeling,
would have been loud if it had been perpetrated
by the Bourbons. As it exists under the Liberal
Government of a United Italy, international phil¬
anthropy is dumb. Mine. Caico’s book is pro¬

pen more than of the place that matters. The
dullest of books might be written about those far¬
away localities, while the wittiest might be inspired
by W hitechapel. Proof of these contentions *is
afforded by a most entertaining volume entitled
“From the Thames to the Seine” (Chatto and
Windus), written and illustrated by Mr. Charles
Pears. Nowadays, a cruise across the Channel
and along the French coast, from Calais to Le
Havre, might not seem to offer much scope lor
originality. In the first place, however, Mr.
Pears made his voyage in quite a small boat,
in which during the great part of the time
he was alone, and this lends a spice of danger
and adventure to his narrative. Then, too, he
is an artist, and his thirty illustrations in colour
and monochrome are a delight to the eye.
Among them are a few humorous sketches of
trench types of character, while the seascapes
are particularly charming. But Mr. Pears is
an observer and a raconteur, as well as an
artist and a sailor, and his written account
of his experiences is as attractive in its way
as the pictorial record. For the benefit of
fellow-yachtsmen he includes an appendix and
charts, which should prove useful to those
who may wish to follow in his wake.

The fact that some of your teeth

are decayed although you have always cleaned them, is
proof that the preparations which you have used do
not preserve the teeth. Use Odol! Odol is the first
and only preparation for cleansing the mouth and teeth
which exercises its antiseptic and refreshing powers
not only during the few moments of application, but
continuously for some hours afterwards.

Odol, as has been scientifically proved, penetrates
the interstices of the teeth and the mucous membrane
of the mouth, to a certain extent impregnating therm
and thus securing a safeguard and preservative for the
teeth such as no other dentifrice can provide, not even
approximately.

ART NOTES,

T HE notion
that the

exhibitions of
Chinese and
Japanese paint¬
ings at the Brit¬
ish Museum and

Shepherd’s Bush give the English artist the golden opportunity
for reform has been forwarded in
several quarters. European art of
the next generation, it is thought, is
most likely to be fertilised from East¬
ern sources, and to encourage the
Royal Academician the critics are
laying stress upon the essential unity
of the Eastern and Western practice
of painting. That the next genera¬
tion will make a point of falling in
with such suggestions is very prob¬
able ; indeed, it may be surmised
that the younger painters are already
adopting the conventions that were
established in China more than a
thousand years ago, and change may
have swept the studios of Chelsea
even in one week-end. Since the
opening of the Chinese Exhibition
the Print and Drawing Gallery at the
British Museum has been thronged
with students, and one could fancy
that one noted them going thence
with determination in their eyes,
and eagerness to express themselves
anew plucking at their right wrists.

The time has long since come for
revolution. Realism, as we have
known it at Burlington House and
the Salon, still sits throned ; but most
insecurely. In Germany they have
taken the leap, and landed in Greece;
in England, in the Strand, we have
confessed, through Mr. Epstein, that
we are searching, not our own life
and time, but the ancient centuries,
for the formula which will guide our
chisels. In a sense it is less un¬
natural to go to China for our models.

If it is decided that the art of Claude and of Corot," of Con¬
stable, of Turner and of Monet has no future, that it has been
in vain, and that we must indeed look about for a new conven¬
tion, it is conceivably right that we should go to the British
Museum for a lesson. But, having set Eastern clouds in our
Western heavens, poured Chinese waters into our river-beds,

filled our fields with a new inspiration
of flowers, we yet remain impotent and
absurd. The Chinaman’s wave, his
flower and his sky are the product of
ages of Eastern contemplation and in¬
tuition. We may copy the line by which
he expresses the terror of the sea, the
height and loneliness of the cloud, the
motion of beasts and the mystery of all
these and of man, but can we profit by

Grossmith—for

he seems, after all, to be the “ Robert Lascelles,” who is its

unique of its kind, for it is a verit¬

Melodrama, however, though it is,
it contains a genuinely comic idea,
although this is overwhelmed by
noise and hustle, and crowds worthy
of an American musical comedy
There are no fewer than forty cha¬
racters to the story of “ Billy’s Bar¬
gain ” ; and the whole effect of
the play is one of strepitous inco¬
herence. Yet the idea is as plain as
it is diverting, and the plot has ad¬
mirable possibilities which, when the
author has cut out a mass of irre¬
levant padding and tiresome paren¬
thetical episodes, should delight
audiences who relish a display of
high spirits on the stage. The story
is occupied with the cunning plan
of Billy Rotterford, a millionaire’s
spendthrift son, who, having twice
got his father to pay his debts, and
having failed to win him over the
third time, arranges to be captured
and held at ransom by Caucasus
brigands and to share the loot with
his captors. Unfortunately for him,
his father gets wind of his scheme,
and proves adamant when applied
to for ransom. So that the brigands,
in a rage, throw the reckless young¬
ster over lofty cliffs, at the bottom
of which he should be dashed lo
pieces, but that bis fall is broken by
the opportune flight of a flock of
wild geese. Let off with his life,
Billy is so far from being cured of
his liking for adventures that he visits his father disguised as
one of the brigands, and so charms the old man by his
’cuteness that lie is once more forgiven. Needless to say,
Mr. Weedon Grossmith is a joy in the r6le of Billy. Mr. John
Clulow, Miss Fortescue, Miss Olga Morra, and Mr. Frank
Denton render the author - actor - manager valuable support.

WARING’S PARIS GALLERIES.

D ETAILS of decorative treatments in cold print are
generally more technical than visualising, and photo¬
graphs of rooms reproduced in black-and-white are ineffective,
because they are lacking in the colour which alone can do
justice to an artistic ensemble. Hence, any attempt on such
lines to do justice to Waring and Gillow's new Paris
Galleries, with their beautifully decorated rooms, must of
necessity be inadequate. The reader should therefore en¬
deavour by the aid of his or her imagination to read into
the description that glow of colour and that harmony of
soft, luxurious tone which may be called the life and soul
of the decorative scheme.

These new Galleries are situated in a handsome building
at 62 , Avenue des Champs Elys 6 es. For several years
Waring’s had premises in the Rue Gluck, but they recently
moved farther we.st, and now occupy an almost unique
position not far from the Arc de Triomphe, and in the very
heart of one of the wealthiest and most fashionable quar¬
ters, where rich Parisians and Americans, and people who
have come from the Argentine to reside in the Gay Capital
congregate in considerable numbers, and occupy establish¬
ments well known for their importance and beauty. It is
in such a quarter as this that the taste and experience of
Waring and Gillow, the most eminent decorators and
furnishers in the world, have room for their adequate display,
and it is there that their services are naturally in the most
fiequent demand.

Paris is the central point of Waring*s Continental
business, from which radiate their various activities, and
from which are controlled their Brussels and Madrid
branches. It is interesting, in this connection, to note that
they are doing decorative work for the King of the Belgians,
and are also decorating a polo chalet for the King of Spain.

The position of their new premises, however, has been mainly
selected for the other reasons mentioned. The quarter suits
their business, and their business is adapted to the quarter.

It is essentially a high-class business, and the Paris Galleries
1 effect this note in their style and arrangement. There are
several floors devoted to the display of beautiful furniture
and fabrics reproduced from the best antique models in their
Paris workshops under the direction of experts; but the
distinguishing feature may be said to be a number of
completely decotated specimen-rooms, which are remarkable
object-lessons in the modern treatment of historic styles, and
in the essential combination of comfort with artistic refinement. Amongst these there
stands out with distinctive and impressive prominence an Elizabethan room in panelled
oak, with a richly decorated ceiling. The most noteworthy feature in this is a
massive old four - post, canopied bedstead, with carved bulbous posts and antique
hangings. There is also a billiard - room in a modernised Jacobean style, with
panelled walls, ribbed ceiling, and an interesting frieze, which takes up the vine-
and-grapes theme carried out with remarkable effect in the wrought - iron centre
electrolier, where the light is transmitted through bunches of fruit of opaque glass.

There are other interesting specimen - rooms, including a quaint Day Nursery,
with a bright frieze of comical Dutch figures ; but the piece de resistance of the
galleries is the completely arranged model Paris flat on the first floor. Here
we have all the usual rooms of a spacious and expensive flat treated in such a
way as to unite the favourite national styles, whether French or English, with a
striking note of refined originality. This is illustrated particularly in the Louis Seize
Salon. Everybody in Paris knows the conventional colouring of a Louis Seize
room, which rarely, if ever, departs from its accepted beaten
track. But here is something entirely new—a treatment
of neutral grey carried out, not in the usual applied orna¬
ment. but 111 carved woodwork. As soon as one gets
accustomed to the surprising innovation, its fine taste,
delicacy and restraint appeal to one with convincing effect.

Equally charming is a delightful boudoir with a coved
and -decorated ceiling, fitted with satinwood. Here again
artistic originality is prominent. The four right-angles of
the room are softened in their angularity by the employment
of corner mirrors ; and there is a mirror over the fireplace,
with projecting light brackets that spring from the inner
partition which divides the mirror into sections. The salle-
a-manger is a fine room in the Georgian style, imposing in
its solid structural ornament, its panelled walls with pilasters,
its chimney-piece floral decoration in the style of Grinling
Gibbons, and its substantial well-proportioned Queen Anne
and Chippendale furniture. Here again we have a subdued
and dignified colour-scheme in old green and grey, very
restful and satisfying and forming a beautiful background
for the rich woods of the Georgian furniture. The inner
hall in the Jacobean style, the Adam-fitted bedroom
panelled in white, the Pompeian bath-room and other points
of interest must only be alluded to. It will be enough
to say that each is perfect in its way, and its decoration
is suitable to its uses.

The general impression one gets from this flat is a
commanding knowledge of style, an all-pervading taste,
reticence without coldness, luxury without ostentation—in
fact, the home of people of culture and artistic ideals. It has
already been visited by many ladies, and has inspired, with
modifications, a number of actual treatments for French and
American residents in Paris. This new Waring vogue of quirt
colour combined with perfection of craftsmanship, as shown
in the art fabrics, the metal-work, the joinery, and other
technical details, already bids fair to be widely adopted. It
gives to the opulent French styles in particular a dignity and
refinement they have not quite succeeded in capturing before.

A word remains to be said about the fine collection of
antiques on the ground-floor. The demand for really choice
examples is very large in Paris, and Waring’s are con¬
noisseurs who give house-room only to what is choice.

They have, for example, some unique specimens of
Chinese art-needlework of the sixteenth century, and a

valuable series of wall - hangings painted on rice-paper, no two strips being alike,
yet one fitting into the design of the others so as to represent a wonderful pic¬
ture of trees, and birds of glorious plumage. Their examples of lacquer cabinets—
one or two in the rare blue—are very fine; they are rich in old English pieces
of historic interest. But to enumerate their treasures would occupy too much space,
it must suffice to wind up by saying that these antiques are varied in class, that
they are genuine in character, and that many are precious from their rarity. The
opening of the Galleries in their new home is a distinct acquisition to the West
End of Paris, and will provide for that district a show-place with an artistic cachet
and distinction similar in character and educational influence to the Oxford Street
Galleries of the same eminent firm.

It should be borne in mind, too, that the London business benefits by its direct
association with the Paris house, as it is brought thereby in direct touch with the
Continent, and with all those sources of Continental art - manufacture which form
so essential a part in decoration to-day.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, July 2, 1910.-30

LADIES^ PAGE.

T HERE was scarcely any change in the wearing of
mourning for the period ordered as half-mourning.
Now, however, the lighter tints suitable to the hot
weather have appeared upon the scene, and garden-party
frocks for the country season that is about to begin will
be as airy and diaphanous as usual, and, perhaps, even
more charming than they have been in past years, be¬
cause of the revival of delightful old patterns of our
great-grandmothers’ days. Muslin “ colour-printers ”
have sought in the archives of their firms for the
“blocks” from which, a century and more ago, the
flowered sacques of the fine lady and the over-skirts
of the pretty country-girl on Sundays were constructed,
and numerous delicate and yet gay designs have been
thus brought to li^ht again. This was to have been a
season of much colour, both in self-tints and in the gay
designs of olden days ; and while to some extent the
charming materials referred to will now be used, there
will undoubtedly be large overstocks left on the hands
of the shops in consequence of the mourning during the
season. This being so, the identical materials will be
sure to be the height of the fashion next spring ; and in
the coming sales, therefore, the economical with plenty
of cupboards will find a good opportunity to lay by some
dress-lengths of muslin, printed Ninon-de-soie, and so
on. The Paisley pine pattern, which is really an old
Indian shawl design, can be particularly recommended ;
but there are also scroll and floral designs of charm.

There is a much larger “ Park ” this season than
has been the case for a few years past ; but, alas! the
increase is due to the admission to the drive this year
of motor - vehicles. During the Season, up to now,
only horse-drawn and electric-motor carriages were
allowed in the Park between the hours of four
and seven. Queen Alexandra was currently reported
to have exerted her irresistible influence to secure
this police regulation : it was said that her Majesty
objected to “ fumes blowing in her face and ma¬
chinery snorting at her back ” during her afternoon
drive in the Park. That now has to be endured, and
i he permission to motors to join the ranks in the drive
has increased the number of carriages very appreci¬
ably. Still, it is by no means what it used to be—the
afternoon drive that was, but a little while ago, the finest
display of costume (especially millinery) and of horse¬
flesh in all Europe ! People not yet very old tell us
how gorgeous the Park was forty years ago or so,
when every well-appointed, high-swung carriage had a
white-wigged coachman on a fine hammer-cloth and
one or a pair of powdered footmen in swallow - tailed
livery coats and coloured plush breeches behind. Our
grandchildren apparently will ride only in motor-cars
or air-ships, clad in the hideous costumes thereunto
appropriate !

One of the charms of London is that it teems with
amusement for visitors who have no private friends here.

There are so many public affairs at which strangers can
“ assist,” as the French call it, and be for the moment
in the very midst of the best society. Foremost among
such social events is the Grand Opera. The universal
wearing of black has made this an exceptional sight,
with an impressiveness all its own ; but the customary
brilliance of the scene is restored at length, and when I
went, the other evening, the iridescence of the jewels,
and the whiteness of the laces and chiffons, and the
gleaming gold and colour of the passementeries, the
beautifully dressed coiffures, and the high average of
good looks amongst our countrywomen produced a
charming effect. The arrangement of the house—the
whole floor, stalls; the grand circle, exclusively private
boxes; and a large portion of the circle above similarly
occupied—gives a vista of brilliance in dress and jewels
that is incomparable: and even people who do not
properly appreciate the admirable performance of the
music find the general aspect irresistibly fascinating.

The late Mr. Gladstone once said to Mr. G. W.
Russell that the only disadvantage that he could dis¬
cover under which women suffered in Great Britain was
the comparative lack of assistance, in endowments and
buildings, for their higher education. It was the judg¬
ment of a man of means and culture to whom know¬
ledge was the supreme luxury. To many women it is
that indeed ; but it is also much more—it is the tool
by which they are to earn their bread in the only way
consistent with their upbringing and natural tastes—
teaching. Since Mr. Gladstone spoke, the opportunities
of education for women have been considerably ex¬
tended, yet the assistance that is to-day open to the
clever girls of families with small means is but meagre
compared to the demand ; and wealthy women surely
might well consider the claim in this respect of future
generations of eager girl students. I say “ wealthy
women,” for it is a fact that a very large part of the
help given to girls’ education so far has come from men.
In the United States, the principal endowed colleges for
women were given by men. Notably, Bryn Mawr Uni¬
versity— a most beautiful series of college halls admirably
staffed and managed, having an English lady, Dr. Carey
Thomas, as Dean, and a Cambridge Sixth Wrangler,
Miss Scott, as a mathematical professor—was originally
founded by the bequest of the whole fortune of a Quaker
gentleman, and in recent days owes much to the princely
gifts of Mr. Rockefeller. The leading effort in this direc¬
tion now being made in this country is to raise a fund to
provide new buildings for Bedford College for Women
(attached to London University). A splendid site, quiet
and secluded, yet close to the centre of things in Regent’s
Park, has been secured, but ^ 46,000 is needed for the
new buildings. At a garden-party the other day on
behalf of the building fund, attended by a very dis¬
tinguished company, it was announced that Mrs. Sargent
and Mrs. Ludwig Mond had each subscribed ^ 1000 ,
and Miss A. E. Shaen ^,’ 600 . while a number of others had
donated large sums ; but there is still a great opportunity
for generous “benefactors of youth.” FlLOMENA.

- MUSIC.

L AST week was full of surprises. In the first place,
London developed a sudden and violent liking lor
Mozarr. and greeted wirli enthusiasm both the con¬
cluding recital of pianoforte concertos at Bechstein’s and
the two operas of the Mozart festival at His Majesty’s.
(It was found necessary to postpone the third after
dress rehearsal.) Dining
the week stories of exten¬
sive operatic activity ran
through the town. It is
rumoured that there is to
be an autumn season of
opera comique in London,
as well as one of Grand
Opera ; while in the spring
of next year Mr. Beecham
will challenge at Drury Lane
the supremacy of Covent
Garden. Nothing could be
better than that London
should love its Mozart and
have plenty of opera, whether
comic or tragic ; and, so
that we feast upon music,
which one of us cares who
pays the bill, provided that
the bill be paid ?

Perhaps the two points
that first strike the listener
at a Mozart festival are
the freshness of the melo¬
dies and the difficulties that
beset the singers. Mozart’s
soprano parts are merci¬
lessly high, the intervals
are frequently considerable,
and, in making abrupt
changes of pitch, the most
gifted singer is apt to go
off the note. Even so true
an artist as Miss Agnes
Nicholls seemed to be sing¬
ing flat when she opened
the second act of “ Ihe
Marriage of Figaro,” while
at rehearsal, another singer, who is often a little above
her note, fell away in the same fashion. But if the music
is supremely difficult, its beauties appeal to singers,
and all who took part in the Mozart revival deserve
hparty praise. Miss Nicholls, Mme. Verlet, Miss
Maggie Teyte, Miss Beatrice La Palme, and Messrs.
Lewys James, Robert Maitland, Bindon Ayres, Austin,
and Hyde, all showed that they appreciate the spirit
of Mozart’s work, and Mr. Bv*echam’s fine orchestra
afforded magnificent support—indeed at times the sup¬
port was more than house or singers could endure, and

the conductor’s enthusiasms led him to forget that His
Majesty’s is not large enough to enable the director
of a large orchestra to dispense with restraint.

It was a happy idea to do away with the dull reci¬
tatives and to treat the operas as musical comedy.
They recovered their youth under this treatment, and
the spoken dialogue carried the contented audience
from one beautiful number to another. The three

operas have sufficient wealth of melody to make
the fortune of thirty modern musical comedies, and
the beauty of the themes is not greater than the skill
with which the concerted numbers are treated.
Mozart had his little tricks of writing, and some of
them are obvious and even tiresome ; but in spite of all
that can be urged against his operas on the ground of
absurd situations and stage conventions, false passions
and false sentiments, they are things of exquisite beauty:
in the “ Nozze di Figaro,” for example, there is a
depth of feeling in some of the music that could hardly

he matched in any operatic score with which London is
familiar. By the way, Mr. Beecham’s arrangement of
this opera is very happy. He divides it into three acts,
and between the last two scenes introduces some exquisite
music from the second divertimento.

Dr. Saint-Sagns’ last Mozart recital at Bechstein s
was associated with some of the master's most beautiful
work, notably the D minor and C major Concertos ;

but it is a pity that these
had not been sufficient re¬
hearsal to settle questions of
tempi : at times ihe veteran
soloist was well ahead of
his orche>tra, and lhe per¬
formance gained nothing
save novelty from this inno¬
vation. Mine. Melba has
given the long-delayed con¬
cert at Albert Hall. It was
to have celebrated her return
to London from the Anti¬
podes, but King Edward’s
death compelled postpone¬
ment, and when the concert
was given the prima donna
had already appeared more
than once at Covent Garden.
Her admirers were in no way
distressed. They attended
in large numbers, and found
their tavouiite singer in ex¬
cellent voice, and piovided
with songs of varying merit
and suiiability, all of whicii
were warmly applauded.

Covent Garden is giving
some matinee perfoimances
lo allow those who live a
long way from the opera-
house to hear some of the
great singers. Mme Tetraz¬
zini and “ The Barber of
Seville ” have provided the
first attraction.

Continental motor - cycle
tyres showed up in front in
the Tourist Trophy Race at Brooklands last Wednesday.
Mr. A. J. Moorhouse, in the Multicylinder Class, won
on an Indian machine so fitted. Sixty laps (or 163 miles)
in 2 hours 52 min. 30 sec. was his iuii, securing l lie
Brooklands Silver Cup. Mr. H. H. Bowen, on a
“ Bat,” similarly tyred, was second. Mr. A. J. Moor-
house made a new one hundred and fifty - mile lecord
in 2 hours 37 min. 13 4-5 sec. Mr. T. A. McNab,
on his Trump Jap (also with Continental tyres) won
the British Motor Cycle Racing Club’s Gold Medal,
in the Single - Cylinder Class.

T HE contrast between music played on a single-
toned instrument such as the piano and that
played with all the wealth of tone-colouring given
only by the orchestra and the Aeolian Orchestrelle
is exactly similar to that between a scene depicted
in a black print and the same scene in all the
glowing life and colour of a magnificent oil-painting.

Why have colourless adaptations of the works of
Beethoven, Bach, Wagner, etc. ? The Aeolian
Orchestrelle allows anyone to play orchestral
music just as such music ought to be played, with
all the life and colour of a complete orchestra
The great symphonies, overtures, concertos, etc
are all available to be played with full tonal-
colouring by the owners of Aeolian Orchestrelles
Technical knowledge of music is in no way neces¬
sary. All that is necessary to give a rendering
beyond criticism is musical taste and insight. Tho
only way to really understand the immense value s
of the Aeolian Orchestrelle to all lovers of good
music is to call at Aeolian Hall and yourself play
this remarkable instrument. Fuller particu
lars will be sent if you write for Catalogue No. 5

Expedition of 1898, and the South African War. He has been
six times mentioned in dispatches.

Professor Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli, who died this week
at the age of seventy-five, the great Italian astronomer, was
the foremost astronomer oJ Europe, just as the late Sir William
Huggins, his only rival, was at the head among those of
Great Britain. His brilliant discoveries of the orbit of the
Perseid and Leonid meteors won him the gold medal of the
Royal Astronomical Society, but the world knew him best as
the discoverer of “ the canals of Mars.” Failing eyesight,
unfortunately, put a stop to his
remarkable Martian researches,
and, like his great Italian pre¬
decessor, Galileo, he became
totally blind.

His work for the establishment and

which he delighted with all the learning

THE LATE DR. F. J. furnivall, Phelps and of
The Famous Scholar and Philologist. Macready.

It was a romantic chance which led Major
Martin Hume to become a historian. He once
happened to buy in Madrid a book called
“ Cronica del Rey Enrique VIII. de Inglaterra,”
a contemporary record written by a merchant
in London, and he found it so interesting that
he sat up reading it all night. He afterwards
published a translation of it, which was the first
of his long and delightful series of books bear¬
ing on English and Spanish history in Tudor
and Elizabethan days, For a writer who did
not take to literature till he was forty - two.
Major Hume produced a remarkable output of
works. Among the best-known arc “The Wives

at “Philip II. of Spain,” and “A History of the
Spanish People.” He was also engaged for many
years in editing the Spanish State papers at the

unmarried. He was formerly in
the 31 d Battalion Essex Regiment,
and in 1878-79 was attached to
the Turkish Army during the
Russo - Turkish War. He had travelled extensively in South
America and Africa. He made three unsuccessful attempts to
enter Parliament as a Liberal.

The Earl of Chesterfield replaces Lord Beauchamp as Lord
Steward in his Majesty’s Household. He was Treasurer of
Queen Alexandra's Household from 1892 to 1894, and Captain
of the Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms during 1894-05. He was
born in 1854, and succeeded his father as tenth Earl in 1887.

THE SCENE OF THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT. A GENERAL VIEW OF RENO. NEVADA.

Reno, the town where the great prize-fight between Jeffries and Johnson took place on July 4, is one, of che chief cities in the State of Nevada, and is a centre of a large mining district. The town, it may be noted, is
notorious for the ease with which divorce may be obtained there, a residence of six months sufficing for the severance of the matrimonial bond. It is the last place in the United States where divorce can thus be

obtained, ani also where open gambling is allowed.

In the grounds of Buckingham Palace last week his Majesty reviewed the regiment of Grenadier Guards of which he is. CoIonel-in-Chief in succession to King Edward. It was the first occasion for thirty years on
which the whole of the battalions of the Grenadier Guards had been able to turn out on parade in London. Some of the commands were given by the Duke of Connaught. By request of Queen Alexandra, the inspection
was quite private. The whole 1600 men, with their bearskins held at arms’ length on fixed biyonets, give three hearty cheers frr the King, which were heard as far as Whitehall. .

Snowden, however, told the
House that he hoped to see a
Chancellor of the Exchequer
proposing a Budget of three or
four hundred millions, and he
urged Mr. Lloyd George to deal
immediately with unemployment
and infirmity, and to reduce the
existing food taxes. While Mr.
Austen Chamberlain complained
that the Chancellor had sug¬
gested a rivalry between na¬
tional defence and social reform.
Mr. Snowden declared that
Dreadnoughts would not be
accepted by the Labour Party
in lieu of reform. The reply of
Mr. Hobhouseto both was that
social schemes and national
defence were not mutually ex¬
clusive. Nationalists expressed
annoyance at the firm refusal of Mr. Lloyd
George to reduce the spirit duty. He bound
himself to it by the contention that the high tax
had led to a great decrease of apprehensions for
drunkenness, but Mr. Redmond and Mr. Dillon
replied that

the streets seemed as full as ever. The

WRESTLING TO HELP THE DEAD TOWARDS NIRVANA.

DRAWN BY FRANK REYNOLDS.

THROWN OFF THE DAIS: SUMO WRESTLING AT THE ANGLO - JAPANESE EXHIBITION.

Sumo wrestling, the method peculiar to the Japanese, may be described as almost a religious ceremony. From early childhood boys are trained to devote their lives to this form of sport.
They are not permitted to sit tailor-fashion, the favourite attitude of the Japanese, so that their legs may grow longer, and they are fed more liberally upon meat than their fellow-countrymen.
The best wrestlers belong to a sort of religious brotherhood, and the proceeds of their wrestling go towards the upkeep of the priesthood of the Ekoin Temple, near Tokio. Indeed, each wrestling
bout may be said to be an act of worship to assist the dead towards Nirvana, the ultimate hope of the Buddhists. A peculiar custom is the strewing of salt, kept in a small receptacle to be seen
on the pillar in the background of our drawing, before each bout. The referee may also be seen in the background carrying a fan. on which is written the legend, “Peace to the world.”
The wrestler who throws his opponent off his feet on to the ground, or off the “ mat.** gains the victory.

in Great Britain from the tremendous crisis through which
the Ottoman Empire has passed lately. The reports of the
triumph of the Young Turkish Party, their temporary set¬
back and renewed success, culminating in the removal of
Abd-ul-Hamid from Yildiz Kiosk to the Villa Allatini at
Salonica, have been incomplete, and coloured in many
instances by prejudice or ignorance. At last we get a
truthful and detailed connected narrative, “The Fall of

April 24, 1009.

In his Preface to Mr. McCullagh’s book, Mahmud Shefket
Pasha writes 1 “At the present moment, everything [must
be reformed in Turkey. . . . For my own part I am doing
my utmost to carry out the necessary reforms in the depart¬
ment which has lately been confided to me. But though
these reforms deal with war, 1 hope that the civilised world
is under no apprehension as to the serious and peaceful
character of the change that we have made in Turkey. . . .
If . . . war unfortunately breaks out in Europe, I believe that
it will be kindled by a spark from the East. Now, there
will be no spark from the East if Turkey becomes powerful.”

“One evening in the middle of the ninth century
a youth, strong and active, but weary and travel-
stained, approached the Golden Gate from over the
heights beyond the walls. He entered the city, but
not by the Golden Gate that we are now so well
acquainted with ; he went round a little to the north,
where there is another opening in the walls, a sort
of * tradesmen’s entrance,’ for to none but Emperors
or visitors of the highest rank was the Golden
Gate thrown open. . . . He entered what is now

Constantinople and Salonica, and has seen the Turks

historic struggle. He points out, directly and indirectly,

that the Young Turkish party is not made up of hare¬
brained enthusiasts without capacity for government,
but consists, for the most part, of strenuous, highly
educated patriots, who have the will and the capacity to

marvellous romance of the great city on the Golden Horn
has appealed irresistibly. It is not an excuse for imre
bookmaking : Captain Baker’s enthusiasms are genuine
and contagious : the reviewer, who has not been in Con¬
stantinople for nearly seven years, finds the old wonder,
awe, and amazement stirring his pulse as the author’s
facile pen and clever pencil bring back the old sights, the
old stories. Captain Baker has studied his subject well,
and acknowledges his debt to Sir Edwin Pears and Pro¬
fessor van Millingen. He makes an excellent guide. From
the approaches to the city, past Seraglio Point, along the
walls that look out over the Sea of Marmora and the
walls of Theodosius, he has studied all the historical
associations and
picked out the
points of interest.

The effective
contrast between
the past and the
present is always

and here Cap¬
tain Granville

assists Captain

the writer.

The artist-
author fears
that Con¬
stantinople’s
walls are
doomed, and
declares that
the work of
demol ition
has begun
already, on
the walls of
Theodosiu s
(408-450) near
the Palace
of Porphyro-
g e n i t u s,
which is sup-
posed to
date from the
tenth cent¬
ury. He says
the walls are
to be de¬
molished to
provide the
new Turkish
Empire “with
means of de¬
fence and offence.” This statement is a little obscure :
the value of the walls of Constantinople is purely
sentimental. But if it be true that they are to be
demolished, Captain Baker’s book becomes the more
timely and valuable on this account. At the same
time, we could wish that he would not call the
founder of Islam “ Mahommed.” Muhammad is the
nearest to the Arabic, and Mohammed will pass, but
Mahommed and Mahommet are quite incorrect.

Washed by thk Bluf. Waters of the Sea
of Marmora : Thh Marble Tower.

“ Standing out boldly is a fine tower, almost intact.
As we draw nearer to it we understand how ft
came by its name, for this is the Marble Tower.
It is a building of four storeys, constructed from
the topmost string course downwards of large
marble blocks, its white and gleaming foundations
washed by the blue waters of the Sea of Marmora.
To eastward, and joined on to the Tower, stands a
two-storeyed mass of masonry, with deep - arched
window looking out to sea. These are the ruins of
a castle that stood here to mark the place where
sea- and land-walls joined.”

“One more look upon the ruined curtain through which the built-up arch gave ingress
to retreating Greeks and Ottoman assailants on that 29th of May 1 there in the angle caused
by the wall and its southern flanking tower you may faintly see the remains of a postern
gate. There fell Constantine, the last of the Emperors of the East.”

“ Here again we may notice the remains
of yet another balcony, and, in continua¬

It teem, impossible to realise that the authorities of Constantinople contemplate the abolition of what has long been the most conspicuous feature of the Turkish capital, the famous street dogs,
and it cannot be said that the first step taken to remove these interesting beasts is a success either on the score of humanity or efficacy. The enclosure of 2500 dogs in twelve pens of forty
feet square for three weeks led to scenes of indescribable suffering among the animals. The street dogs of Constantinople number from 50.000 to 80.000. They are split up into different guilds,
each maintaining strict seclusion from any intruders. At night a dog is specially detailed as a bektchi, or night-watchman, and should any foreigner venture to enter the district of which he
is guard, he is immediately set upon, and almost torn to pieces. In every main street the dogs lie in the middle of the road and on the pavement, moving for nobody, making progression both
of carriages and pedestrians a difficult matter. Though the Osmanli considers the animals unclean, they are kindly treated. Now that it has been decided to remove this interesting feature of
Constantinople, it is to be hoped that some more humane method may be found than that which has been at first adopted.

the wel¬
fare of the house. I am writing with
more than a quarter of a century’s
experience at my back in the teaching- of
hygiene, and in earlier days I had my own Wt' \j )
experience as a lecturer on that subject in i/

a training-college, with results, I am glad to say, *1
as tested by Government examinations, of satisfac- v\
tory kind. Therefore, I do not write unknowingly, ]M
but with a fair sense of appreciation of the value
of instruction in domestic science at large. But I y
am very clear about the necessity for making such
teaching part-and - parcel of ordinary educational duties.
Remove it to the University, and you will make the subject
a product of that process of academic fossilisation which
is only equalled by another action, common in many cases
of academic prelections—namely, one of dry rot. When
the subject of “nature study" began to be evolved out of
of the consciousness of educational
genius, I protested strongly against
this innovation, because I argued that
“home science," bearing on the life
and welfare of the nation, was a far
more important topic, and far more
worthy of culture, than a knowledge of
a cuckoo’s nursery habits, or of cross¬
fertilisation in primroses. The so-
called humanising influence of nature
study, to my mind, was—and is—as
nothing compared with the effect of
training boys and girls in the laws of
health, and in the healthy conduct of
their existence, both as units and as
members of the community. Lessons
imparted at school grow into part of
the mental constitution of the future
adult, and so leaven the mind in ihe
direction of healthy living—of godly
living in a physical sense, no less im¬
portant to my mind than such living
viewed from the moral aspect. It
seems egregious folly to have medical
inspectors to examine and report upon
children’s ailments and defects, while
we waste time (and money) in teach¬
ing nature science, and do little to
teach “ home science," a knowledge
of which would prevent ill-health and
disease. But alas! here, as in many
other ways, educational authorities
keep on filling the barrel from the
bunghole, while they leave the tap
fully turned on. —Andrew Wilson.

JOTTINGS.

ABOUT HOME SCIENCE,
the term “ Home Science," now
requently employed by educational
5, 1 presume is meant those
les of scientific inquiry which in
other bear upon the welfare of
he domestic circle. So far has
1 teaching as a desirable feature
li penetrated that I observe an
sn started for the recognition of
what is termed “A University Standard in Home
Science." A recent conference on Women’s Work, held
in London, devoted an afternoon to the discussion of a
University standard, by which, I understand, is meant the
systematic teaching of home science. Why the University
idea should be lugged into the matter is difficult to con¬
ceive. Is not the trained teacher a personage quite
sufficiently qualified to impart instruc¬
tion in the details of domestic econ¬
omy and other branches included in
instruction dealing with the home and
its care ? University absorption of
such a topic means lifting it out of
the very sphere in which it is best
calculated to be practically taught.

A Professorship of “ Home Science"
would be an anomalous post, and the
occupant a kind of academic Jack-
of-all-trades. He would need to be an
adept in hygiene, a skilled critic of
darning and mending, a practical ex¬
pert in the ways of the washerwoman,
an authority on the chemistry of cook¬
ery, and a person to be consulted

estimable movement. For once you put a practical sub¬
ject like “domestic economy’’—our new friend “home
science’’ is this latter subject masquerading under a new
name—into academic realms, you will lift it out of the
reach of the ordinary mortals who are the people that de¬
sire instruction. The proper persons to handle this topic
are the teachers. There are plenty of them engaged at
present in teaching cookery and other branches of “ home
science*’ in schools and elsewhere. In my walks abroad.
I have even encountered large buildings called colleges
for the training of teachers in domestic economy. What
need is there for University interference here at all ?

I am heartily in agreement with every movement
which has for its object the spread of the knowledge
which operates to secure the health of the home and its
environment, only I maintain the instruction must come
from the teacher. He is trained to-day up to concert-
pitch, and if “ home science" is to be more promi¬
nently taught (in place, I hope, of half-a-dozen tilings,
practically fancy subjects, and as such useless), then
we can specialise among our instructors of youth, and
get them to devote their attention to instruction in ail

AN INCIDENT OF THE ALBANIAN RISING : ALBANIANS PRESENTING MILK TO THE TURKISH COMMANDER - IN - CHIEF

AS A SIGN OF SURRENDER.

The serious rising in Albania, which at one time caused the Turkish Government serious anxiety, has for the time being been successfully quelled by a strong force under the command of
Shcvket Turgot Pasha. In the villages through which the victorious General passed, the Albanians, in their picturesque native costume, came out and offered to the Commander-in-Chief a bowl

of milk, in token of their submission to the superior might of the Turkish troops.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, July P, IP 10.- 56

On Saturday, Sir W. B. Richmond opens the
“ Country in Town” exhibition at the Whitechapel
Art Gallery. Canon Barnett and his co-directors
have great hopes of the uses of the second¬
hand fields, forests, and flowers of the studios
to a population that does not, on an average,
leave the East End for even twenty - four hours
in the year, and then, perhaps, only for the
beach of Southend.

“ One impulse from a vernal wood
May teach you more of man,

Of moral evil, and of good,

Than all the sages can,”

is the verse set at the top of the Whitechapel in¬
vitation-card. There is a brave — and forlorn —
ambition in the suggestion that any visitor to
the “ Country and Town ” Exhibition will share
Wordsworth’s inspiration. E. M.

STARS OF THE PHILOTHESPIANS-1883.

These were leading members of the O.U.P.C. founded in 1880 (Oxford University
Philothespian Club), in 1883, when Dr. Jowett, the Vice - Chancellor, formally
recognised it, on condition that only Shakespeare or Greek plays were performed,
with amateur ladies as the female characters. In 1884 the Club blossomed out into
the O.U.D.S. (Oxford University Dramatic Society).

The concert season shows signs of drawing to a
rather premature conclusion, but there were one
or two interesting performances last week. The
Audrey Chapman Ladies’ Orchestra gave a concert
at the JEolian last week, assisted by Mr. Gervase
Elwes and Miss Edith Miller, under the direction of
that gifted musician, Mr. Rene Ortmans. The
orchestra gives six Free Concerts a year in the
poorer districts of London, and deserves even
more support than it receives. Miss Edith Miller’s
French - Canadian songs were well chosen and
finely sung: they remind the listener of the folk¬
songs of Touraine and Poitiers. The success of
the Donald Tovey and Pablo Casals recitals is
seemingly assured, for the gifted pianist and great
’cellist were able to announce an additional con¬
cert last week. It is to be hoped in the interests
of fine music that Signor Casals may be tempted
to visit London very often, and that his welcome
may be worthy of his attainments.

“ D-d good to steal

from,” said Fuseli of Blake.
But the quality that distin¬
guishes Fuseli from the crowd¬
ing painters of his day is not
stolen, but his own. In “ The
Nightmare,” which made him
famous in less time than it
took him to dream and paint
it, and which brought a small
fortune to the print-
sellers, his quality
is hard to find ; on
the other hand, in
the drawings in
the Fair Women
Exhibition, at the
Grafton Gallery, it
is only too obvious.

As a draughtsman
Fuseli was the
Beardsley of his
time. Unlike Blake,
who in deadly
seriousness set forth
the figures of his
imagination (whe¬
ther they were the
morning stars singing together in the clouds or
the ghosts of fleas), Fuseli, like Beardsley, dealt
flippantly with his fancies, even if they were the
fancies of stress and disease.

LORD MONTAGU OF BEAULIEU-1888.

Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, then the Hon. John Scott-
Montagu) was Secretary of the Oxford University
Dramatic Society in 1888, and " proved the most energetic
Secretary the Society had ever had,” besides proving
himself on the boards "a good hand at business.”

C. B FRY, THE GREAT ATHLETE,
AS PRINCE OF MOROCCO—1895.
Asked once about his appearance in
*' The Merchant of Venice,” at Oxford,
In 1895, Mr. C. B. Fry was very modest,
replying, “I don’t think I was much
of an actor.” Mr. Mackinnon speaks
of his rendering as “a feature of every
performance . . . as to Fry’s scoring
there is no doubt whatever."

A. BOURCHIER AS HOTSPUR-1885.
“Bourchier’s acting and his ‘camarad¬
erie ’ were invaluable to us all . . .
giving him the right to be considered
the moving spirit in every production at
Oxford." He and Mr. Alan Mackinnon
form the link between the new and
old Oxford Amateurs.

XFORD amateur theatricals have had their ups and
downs. They had their days of royal patronage
under Elizabeth and the first James and Charles, they
languished in the eighteenth century, and they revived Taj
only to be sternly re-
pressed some forty years ,

ago. A decade later, Ik

the Hon. James Adder- V

ley and Mr. Alan Mac- |

kinnon went up to the
University, and resolved
to revive the traditions of Oxford
amateur acting. They were seri¬
ous in their purpose, but they
were also bent on fun, and half
the joy of fighting for “ recog¬
nition ” consisted in the fact
that their art was forbidden.
They began with private per¬
formances in college rooms ;
then they took premises in the
town ; and at length, about 1880.
the Philothespians came info
existence. Their efforts were
not confined to Oxford; thus
on one occasion ihev had been
acting at Bicester, and only es¬
caped the clutches of the Proc¬
tors at Oxford Station by quitting
the train before it reached the
platform and making for home
on foot. Canon Scott Holland,
however, smiled on them as
Senior Proctor; and another
Don, Mr. W. L. Courtney,
worked hard to secure official
sanction for their cause. And so in process of time, thanks
largely to the tenacity of James Adderley, the battle was won :
Jowett as Vice-Chancellor in 1883 permitted public amateur
performances under conditions, and the “ O.U.D.S.” replaced
the Philothespians. It is this
struggle the description of which
makes the most interesting part
of a book in which, under the
title of “ The Oxford Amateurs”

(Chapman and Hall), Mr. Mac¬
kinnon has compiled a history
of undergraduate acting at his
university. His undertaking is
very brightly and conscienti¬
ously done, Father Adderley
with absolute appropriateness
supplying the “foreword,” and
it is adorned with a splendid
series of photographs which in
themselves summarise the pro¬
gress of Oxford
theatricals. From
out these pictures
men who made
their names in the
world look at us
quaintly in fancy
or feminine cos¬
tumes. They have
gone into the Army,
the Navy, the
Church, the Law,
and into the jour¬
nalistic and other
professions ; few
have taken to the
stage. Yet those
few actors which

the “O.U.D.S.” has given to the London theatre—
Arthur Bourchier, H. B. Irving, Holman Clark,
Charles Maude—have all achieved distinction.

ARTHUR BOURCHIER AND THE
HON. JAMES ADDERLEY.-1881.
The Hon. and Rev. James Adderley,
when at Oxford (Christ Church), was
the pioneer of the modern dramatic
movement there, and the founder of
the Philothespians of 1880. Mr. Arthur
Bourchier in particular was prominent
and indefatigable in bringing into exist¬
ence the O.U.D.S. in 1884.

IM OEVERAL Ruskin letters were sold at Sotheby’s
O during the week. With a passage in one the
Art School Commissioners may agree, but it will
hardly assist them in framing a report: “ I heartily
pity everyone connected
with our art schools—
the more successful
they are the more sorry
I am for their wasted
skill. You don’t sup¬
pose a nation of swind¬
ling ironmongers can have any
art ? Look at the prize Eve !

That’s the sort of thing they
want, and will have ! ” In
another letter we read of him
escaped to a garden where no
Eves with prizes, or without
them, could annoy him. “ All
friends,” he writes, “ and my
own too frequent experience
warn me alike to make no
further exertion, but to watch
the crocus buds, and be as
idle. Of Fuseli, Blake declared
that “this country must advance
two centuries in civilisation be¬
fore it can appreciate him.” It
seems quite safe to join in the
hazardous game of prediction
and to say that Blake is quite
wrong. By all the rules of the
making and unmaking of re¬
putations. Fuseli should be for¬
gotten. But he is not forgotten.

He is snubbed at Christie’s
with contemptuous bids ; he is chased from the galleries in the
company of the two Benjamins, Haydon and West. But he
is never wholly chased from the memory, for through all the
laborious fancy of his large, black compositions there some¬
times flashes the wit of his
lectures and aphorisms. “Bravo,
Fuseli, thou hast an eye,”
scribbled Rossetti on the mar¬
gin of Ins copy of the writings.

H. B. IRVING—1890.
“Henry Irving, Junior,” as he was
known at Oxford, made his first
appearance there in “Julius Caesar,”
in 1889, as Decius Brutus. He is
shown here in the title-role in “Straf¬
ford,” 1890, where his “ power and
grace” won undisputed admiration.

H. M. TENNENT, /E. R. MACKINTOSH, AND
MISS LILIAN BRAITHWAITE—1900.
“Twelfth Night” was produced at the New Theatre,
February 21, 1900. “ Miss Lilian Braithwaite, in the all-
important part of Viola, was very good indeed. In ‘Sir
Toby-Belch’ Mackintosh (Merton) . . . was suitably
Jovial and hearty, and . . , offered the desired contrast to

A discussion haa arisen u to whether Buckingham Palace can be considered a worthy residence for the King of the greatest Empire the world has ever seen, and it may be of interest to compare it
with the palaces of other reigning Sovereigns of Europe. There is no doubt that the front of the palace, which is constructed of Bach stone, a by no means durable material, has a peculiarly forbidding
aspect, and the arrangements of its interior are very far from good. In fact, the Duke of Wellington stated that no Sovereign in Europe, or perhaps no private gentleman, had so unsuitable a residence.

The fact of the initial conception of Buckingham Palace having been so entirely faulty makes it improbable that any alterations whatever would make the palace into a suitable royal residence.
The Coronation year would be an excellent occasion for the nation to present to King George a building which shall beautify the capital, and form a fitting completion to the great architectural
scheme already begun in the Victoria Memorial. It is estimated that the cost of such a building would not exceed .£1.000.000.

TRAGEDY AND DOMESTICITY IN THE

LIFE OF INSECTS.

FIRST STEPS IN THE COURTSHIP OF A LANGUEDOC SCORPION.
The scorpions face each other in the curious attitude given above. They raise
their bodies vertically, seeming to gale intently at each other. This appears
to be the first proposal.

A SUITORS* DUELi TWO MALE CRICKETS FIGHTING FOR A FEMALE.
When the choice of two crickets falls upon the same female, a duel of great ferocity is lot
between the two insects, which ends in the defeat and flight of the weaker suitor. The let
cricket may be noticed watching the duel from under the cover of a leaf.

THE LOVERS' WALK. THE PROMENADE OF THE SCORPIONS.

The next stage is a curioiis walk in which the male, holding the female firmly
with his pincers, and walking backwards, leads her gently along, stopping at times
to approach her, almost as if trying to whisper in her ear.

THH FLIGHT OF THE DEFEATED AND THE TRIUMPHAL SONG OF THE VICTOR.
After the battle the vanquished cricket makes a hurried departure, while the victor indulges
in a curious song of triumph. It expresses his joy in the fact that he now has an
open field for his courtship

THE CLIMAX OF THE COURTSHIP. LEADING HOME HIS MATE.
After an hour's promenade the two scorpions return to their shelter, and this
stage may be said to mark the end of the courtship. The bridegroom has
now brought home his bride.

MATERNAL AFFECTION . THE SOFTER SIDE OF THE FEMALE SCORPION.
Though so severe upon her male, thip insect makes an excellent mother, and it is wonderful
to see what care she takes of her amber-coloured progeny. This photograph shows her
playing with her little ones much as a cat plays with her kittens.

THE DRAMATIC END TO THE SCORPIONS' LOVE IDYLL.

After a short time the female scorpion gets tired of her mate, and instead of a
voluntary separation she makes a summary end ol the union by seizing the poo.
male, tearing him to pieces and devouring him.

M. Fabre. the well-known French entomologist, who has been described by Darwin as the "inimitable observer." and by Edmond Rostand as "the Virgil of the insects." has made a lifelong
study of the ways and habits of this class of invertebrate animals. It will be remembered that in our issue of April 23 we published some most interesting photographs by M. Fabre of
spiders, beetles, scarabs, and scorpions. He takes pleasure in studying the comedies and tragedies of insect-life on the spot, when possible, in his little garden at Serignan, a few miles from
Oraoge Otherwise bis plan has been to capture and carefully house any specimens that he wished to observe in order to have them continually under his eye. The gain to our knowledge

of insect-life through M. Fabre’s observations has been most considerable.

A Rare and Beautiful Addition to the Aviaries at the Zoological Gardens.

THE WONDERFUL COCK OF THE ROCK, OF WHICH THERE ARE NOW SIX SPECIMENS AT THE ••ZOO."

Never before has such an array of wonderful and fascinatingly beautiful birds been seen in England as that now ae the "Zoo," where recently no fewer than six gorgeous cocks of the rock
iRupicola crocea], from British Guiana, have been added, and are to be seen side by side with the birds-of-paradise. The cock of the rock is one of the most resplendent of birds, its entire
plumage being of a satiny golden orange colour. These wonderful specimens were secured by an expedition sent out to British Guiana by Sir William Ingram- On another page will be found

The Earliest Granite Sarcophagus and Other Interesting Antiquities from Egypt.

RELICS OF ANCIENT CIVILISATIONS SHOWN AT THE EXHIBITION OF THE BRITISH SCHOOL OF ARCHAEOLOGY IN EGYPT.

There are some unusually interesting “ finds ” on view at the annual exhibition of discoveries by the British School of Archasology in Egypt, now open at University College. Of those
illustrated, the basalt bust (No. 11 was unearthed at Memphis in the newly cleared part of the Temple of Ptah. It dates from 600 B.C. From Memphis also come the steel Persiap sword
(No. 6) and the bronze arrow-heads (No. 2). dating from about 400 B.C. and probably Persian. Each kind of arrow had its specific purpose: some were for piercing the face or limbs;
others for piercing the clothing or armour. The crowbar and wedge (No. 5) are either Greek or Roman, and were probably used by the masons who destroyed the ancient buildings. The
leaden dish (No. 3). slso from Memphis, shows Persian influence, and was probably a silversmith’s working pattern. Of great interest is the granite sarcophagus (No. 4). the earliest known:
dating to 4600 B.C. It was found at Meydum, forty miles south of Cairo, in the splendidly built tomb of a nobleman of the period, a structure with lofty passages and a great chamber.

SIR HORACE PLUNKEIT,
Whose Book, “The Rural Life Problem
in the United States," is to be Published
by Messrs. Macmillan.

ANDREW LANS ON SCOTT LETTERS AND REMINISCENCES OF MARK TWAIN.

A GOOD man’s
secret good

deeds are comfortable things to contemplate, like a fire on
a winter day. We warm our hands and hearts, for ex¬
ample, at certain letters of Sir Walter Scott, written in
the spring of 1817, and published in the Athenceum of
June 25. Scott, at that time, was extremely busy both with
official and with all sorts of literary work—novels, essays,
poems, the Annual Register, and so forth. In March
he was suddenly attacked, at a party in his own house,
with such an access of pain "that his masculine powers
of endurance gave way. and he retired from the room
with a scream of agony.” Perhaps he had appendicitis.

At this auspicious moment an Oxford undergraduate,
a total stranger, had flown at Scott, asking for advice and
help. For some reason or no reason he wished to leave
his college, but had no money.

Scott’s replies, in th e Athenceum, occupy more than
three columns of very close, small print. He writes as

manuscript: he was a young wild ass in all probability.
I do not think that Scott preserved his letters : I did
not see them when working through the volumes of
correspondence addressed to Sir Walter.

But I did find the Captain of Sedbergh School (an
excellent school, I believe) asking Scott to contribute
to the magazine of that academy 1 Bless them, when
they want anything they never hesitate to ask for it!

to tell “ gentle¬
men’s stories.”

His writings are “ as virginal as Billy,” to use a remark¬
able phrase of R. L. Stevenson. But Dr. Howells “ was
often hiding away” letters, which, “after the first read¬
ing,” Dr. Howells “could not quite bear to look at.”
“On this point” Mark was “Shakespearean.”

No harm in being Shakespearean ! Mark may have
been too funny, but he was as innocent as a child,
and took great delight, we learn, in wearing his degree
of Doctor in Literature of Oxford on all occasions. It is
of a French grey and cerise, and is not becoming to all
complexions.

He had thick, red hair: it was white, more or less,
when I first saw it, and he loved to wear a sealskin
coat. Mark liked our people much more than Dr.
Howells does ; we are such snobs, and so callous with
strangers, so blunt with each other. We are miser¬
able sinners, but Mark did not find us callous ; his

S welcome at Oxford was more *'
rapturous than that accorded
to Mr. Roosevelt, when the
men were on their very best be¬
haviour. A certain great misfortune
had taken the mirth out of the sum¬
mer term, the spring out of the year.

Die reminiscences of Dr. Howells are all
very interesting. There seems to have been
much of Dickens’s boisterous Mr. Boythorn in
Mark, but it was subdued, when I had the
honour and joy of meeting him, by age, and
many sorrows. One is surprised to hear
that 1 he man who showed such a full and
sensitive appreciation of Jeanne d’Arc had
none of the consolations and encouragements
of her creed, or of any creed. “ He took

can only think of the much-needed recuperation—not enjoy it—at present.

Under these circumstances, Sanatogen comes to rescue him from a possible
nervous or physical breakdown, for it is the wearied worker’s best means
of recuperation.

It reinvigorates the brain and nervous system, it revitalises every function
of the body, stimulating, bracing, and giving a sensation of physical fitness
and mental alertness which only the most wisely spent holidays produce, while
its restorative effects are not transient, but permanent.

Sir Gilbert Parker, M.P., the eminent author, writes :—“ I have
used Sanatogen at intervals since last autumn with extraordinary
benefit. It is, to my mind, a true food tonic, feeding the nerves,
increasing the energy, and giving fresh vigour to the overworked
body and mind.”

All chemists sell it, price is. gd. to 9s. 6d. per tin. Start
to-day and you will soon be independent of holidays to make you fit.

VTORTHWARD! is ever one clamorous cry of the
hour as the July days go fleeting by—even
though, as yet, the Twelfth and the moors are some
weeks ahead. Scotland is at its best and most pic¬
turesque just now, and the Highlands at their very best
of all; and the days too are long, and late the closing-

hand and beyond. Old Galloway and Dumfries ; Arran
and fair Firth of Clyde, away to yacht-haunted Oban and
the romantic glens of the Western Highlands, on the one
hand ; or, northward, Stirling, Perth and Braemar, and
the Central Highlands to Inverness—there is room and to

for all who want health and rest and “ a glorious time.”

wonder that the holiday-bound Southerner should be pre¬

year for getting about by rail and steamboat on the lochs

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, July 9, 1910.—72

LADIES* PAGE,

I T is certainly very odd that women can, with so much
ease, pass themselves off as men ! There was evi¬
dently some philosophy in the reply of the little girl to
her yet smaller brother’s question, as they stood before
a picture of Adam and Eve in Eden : “Which is Adam
and which is Eve? ” asked the small bov ; and his sister
replied, “ It is impossible to tell, as they have no clothes
on.” Everybody who reads the papers has just learned
the strange story of “ Marry Lloyd," who has died
after having passed for nearly forty years of her life as
a man and as “father” of a daughter whom “he”
brought up, as she testifies, to love “him” as “the
kindest and best father on earth.” Not long ago, a
girl, sixteen years old, was discovered working as a
sailor boy; she had made several voyages unsuspected,
and her secret was given away by no circumstance con¬
nected with herself, but by the accident of all the sailors
on the ship being required to undergo medical exam¬
ination in connection with the regulations for keeping
an Eastern port free from plague. A few years earlier,
again, a question of property caused a similar discovery
in the case of Mrs, Cullinan, a widow, who had passed
nearly all her life as a man, working as a plumber, and
supposed to be thp husband of another woman. In
Mrs. Cullman's case, her own daughter knew her secret,
and betrayed it to get money. In history there are
numerous other instances, and in no case was any
serious suspicion aroused in the minds of the men
with whom the women mixed and w r orked, and fought.

Yes, even fought; for it is an added touch of
strangeness that, as a rule, these disguised women
have led very rough - and - tumble lives. “ Harry
Lloyd ” managed a common lodging-house for some
years—that is to say, a place where the tramps, whom
one meets with some alarm on a lonely country road,
get beds for a few pence the night ; and the pro¬
prietor of this house testifies that “Harry” used to
turn out the disorderly men when necessary, and do
all the other rough work of the place. Several of the
masquerading women have been sailors. Hannah
Snell, in the middle of the eighteenth century, was
a Marine, and fought in many of the naval and land
engagements of that amphibious corps. Many, perhaps
most, of the women recorded as passing for men w’ere
soldiers, and carried their secret safely through barrack
and camp life, as it was in past times. Every war
for some idea has counted women Volunteers disguised
as men in the ranks. There were many such in the
American Civil War, where slavery was at stake; many
on both sides—for the South also had its ideal: not
mere slave-owning, but the States’ rights to govern them¬
selves and maintain their own “peculiar institutions.”
In the French Revolution, women fought on both
sides. The Memoirs of the Comte de Neuilly, who was
in one of the regiments of emigres, for instance, tell
of two cases, one a Republican soldier, whom the
young Comte cut down in a hand-to-hand combat, and

GRACEFUL GOWN FOR SUMMER WEAR.

silk bands and buttons; chip hat trimmed with plumes.

another, a certain soi-disant “Chevalier d<* Haussey,”
w-ho enlisted with her husband, M. de Bennes, and
fought bravely by his side as his supposed brother.
There are countless other instances—so many that no
fact is more clearly established than the possibility of
women being soldiers.

Lord Cromer was the principal speaker at the annual
meeting of the Anti-Woman’s Suffrage League, and said,
amongst other things, that “ he hoped he might be
allowed, as a Unionist, to bear testimony to the deep
debt of gratitude which all of them who were opposed
to the representation of women owed to the present
Prime Minister.” The Anti-Suffragists, who included
Lady Jersey and the Duchess of Montrose, responded
enthusiastically with “Hear, hear”; and the observa¬
tion may be usefully discussed by the Women’s Liberal
Federation branches, who pass pro-Suffrage resolutions
and send them to Mr. Asquith. The Government have
promised that a day shall be given this session for
taking a division on the second reading of a Woman’s
Suffrage Bill, but Mr. Asquith added that he should not
do anything more than that, so that no further progress
can be made with the measure, supposing the House of
Commons now passes the second reading, as it has
done several times in previous Parliaments.

Sceptics question sometimes whether there is any
real advantage gained by buying at sales, but judicious
housewives know that great benefit may often be secured.
Messrs. Waring and Gillow are offering a demonstra¬
tion of this in their bi-annual stocktaking sale, which
begins on July 4, at their beautiful premises, 164-180,
Oxford Street. In the catalogue, which can be had
post free, they enumerate various articles of furniture,
offered at large reductions in price, adding that any
pieces not sold will be returned to the stock marked
again at the original prices. Bargains are offered for
the sale also in furnishing fabrics, household linens,
carpets, china, and glass—in fact, in everything.

There is a clothing problem, not perhaps sufficiently
thought about—namely, how to protect the body from
climate and sudden alterations of temperature without
preventing the skin from throwing off the waste of
which it has to get rid. Experiment has proved
that air, when at rest, is the best non - conductor
of the bodily heat which is at the same time porous,
so that the skin can, as it were, breathe through
it, while maintaining a steady temperature in all
weathers. This is the principle on which Aertex
Cellular clothing is constructed. It is warm in winter
and cool in summer, as its meshes enclose the air; it
is easily washed, cannot shrink, is comfortable in wear,
and very inexpensive. Both men’s and women’s under¬
garments of every sort are made in it, as well as children’s
things, and prices and all details will be found in the
catalogue by those who cannot personally visit an
agent’s shop or the headquarters, Messrs. Oliver Bros.,
417, Oxford Street, London, W. Ladies’ blouses are a
speciality here in refined stripes. Filomena.

Notwithstanding the abnormally high prices now
obtaining in the Rubber Market, I have been surprised
to find that no advance has been made this season in
the prices of Michelin motor-cycle and push-bicycle
tyres. The Michelin Tyre Company is one of the
few companies who, thanks to commercial sagacity,
have been able to stand by the prices listed at

the beginning of the
year. The motor-cyclist

their internal - com-

Crucifer, which is designed, in its enlarged form, to carry inside passengers. It will be noted that the remarkable mcnoplane here illustrated, which suggests
some monster of the deep, also carries passengers inside.

AN AMPHIBIOUS FRENCH AEROPLANE. THE CRAFT CON¬
STRUCTED BY M. FABRO AT REST ON THE WATER.
After four years' trials a French engineer, M. Fabro, has constructed an
aeroplane which can float on the water, and he has recently made some
fine flights with it at the mouth of the Rhone. The machine has three
floats, which enable it to rest on the water without being upset by the
wind. It can leave the water at a speed of about forty-four miles
an hour, and it can be taken to pieces and placed on board-ship.

Every Friday during
the season the New
Palace Steamers’ boat
Royal Sovereign will
leave Old Swan Pier at
9 a.m. for Southend,
Margate, and Rams¬
gate, making thus a
daily service.

Hitherto it has only

Irrigated
p/~", Garden Spots

Wi, / Cases of malnutrition in rapidly
rV; / growing children are common, and
jjfp ' are popularly described as “ over-

growing their strength."

It is not unusual to find that the
demand for food is in advance of the digestive capacity, and,
as everyone knows, bodily nutrition depends upon how much
one can digest with maximum benefit, not upon how much
food one can take.

In malnutrition Benger’s is of the highest possible value as a
supplementary food owing to its ability to provide, when
prepared with fresh milk according to directions, a food of
maximum nourishing power The digestive process, set in action
during its preparation, may be carried sufficiently far to enable
the Food to be absorbed with little digestive effort. It gives ample
nourishment, and, while strengthening and increasing the vitality
of the digestive organs, leaves them free to deal with the
every-day diet.

Benger’s Food forms with milk, a dainty, delicious and
highly nutritive cream, entirely free from rough and indigestible
particles. Infants and children thrive on it, delicate and aged
persons enjoy it.

Benger’s new Booklet deals with the most common
doubts and difficulties which mothers have to encounter. _ }

THE FIRST FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN AIRMAN IN ENGLAND : THE WRECKAGE OF MR. ROLLS AEROPLANE AT BOURNEMOUTH.

Bournemouth has had the sad distinction, in the midst of its centenary celebrations, of being the scene of the first fatal accident to an airman in this country. Prior to the expert inquiry,
various explanations were offered as to the cause of the disaster, and the accounts of eye-witnesses were to some extent conflicting. According to one account, the left side of the tail plane
broke away with part of the rudder when the machine was about fifty feet from the ground. This, t is said, was due to the sudden air-pressure on the tail plane caused by a somewhat
violent pull on the lever. The tail-plane, a new adjustable stabiliser (a Wright patent) had onty been attached last Sunday. Another description says that the accident was probably due to
Mr. Rolls having made an abrupt turn into the teeth of the wind; the rudder and stays suddenly lost their rigidity and a part of the machine fell to the ground, the left side appearing to
crumple up and drag the rest after it. A third account says that the rudders sudden'y broke: Mr. Rolls was seen to make a quick movement of the lever, and. as the machioe swung round,
with a sound of splitting woodwork, their supports and the rear stabilising plane buckled up. — (Photographs by Central News and W. G. P.]

THE FIRST ENGLISH VICTIM OF AVIATION: THE LATE HON. C. S. ROLLS

AND HIS LAST FLIGHT.

I. THE SCENE OF THE DISASTER. SHOWING THE CIRCLE MARKED OUT FOR THE ALIGHTING CONTEST, AND THE WRECKED AEROPLANE AGAINST THE FENCE.

3. PHOTOGRAPHED DURING HIS LAST FLIGHTi THE HON. C S. ROLLS JUST BEFORE HIS FALL. 4. WHEN ALL WAS OVER i THE REMAINS OF THE SHATTERED AEROPLANE.

With reference to our photograph*, it may be recalled that the content in which Mr- Roll*' Io»t hi* life at Bournemouth on Tueaday wa* the alighting competition. A circle of 100 yard*
diameter, representing an island, had been marked out on the ground, and the prize wa* for the airman who brought his machine to a stop nearest the centre. This circle can be seen in our
first photograph. The Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls was the third and youngest son of Lord and Ladv Llangattock. and was born in 1877. As a boy he had a passion for engineering, and at fifteen
he installed electrie light in his father's house, the Hendre, Monmouthshire. He went to Eton and Cambridge, and in 1897 became captain of the University Bicycle Club. It was while he
was at Cambridge that motor-cars began to be used, and he soon became one of the leading devotee* of the new sport. Among other motoring feats, he represented Great Britain in the Gordon-
Bennett Race in 1905, and the next year won the International Tourist Trophy in the Isle of Man. He took part in the formation of the Aero Club in 1901. and made numerous balloon
ascent*. He began hi* aeroplane flights last year, and everyone knows how. on June 2nd of this year, he achieved his great feat of flying across the Channel lrom Dover to Calais and back.

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

TT would be really interesting to know' exactly why
* an intelligent person—by which I mean a person
with any sort of intelligence—can and does dislike
sight-seeing. Why does the idea of a char-a-banc full
of tourists going to see the birthplace of Nelson or
the death-scene of Simon de Montfort strike a strange
ehill to the soul ? I can tell quite easily what this
dim aversion to tourists and their antiquities does not
arise from—at least, in my case. Whatever my other
vices (and they are, of course, of a lurid cast), I can
lay my hand on my heart and say that it does not
arise from a paltry contempt for the antiquities,
yet from the still more paltry contempt for the tourists.
If there is one thing more dwarfish and pitiful than
irreverence for the past, it is irreverence
for the present, for the passionate and
many-coloured procession of life, which
includes the char-a-banc among its
many chariots and triumphal cars. I
know nothing so vulgar as that con¬
tempt for vulgarity which sneers at the
clerks on a Bank Holiday or the Cock¬
neys on Margate sands. The man who
notices nothing about the clerk except
his Cockney accent would have noticed
nothing about Simon de Montfort ex¬
cept his French accent. The man who
jeers at Jones for having dropped an
“ h ” might have jeered at Nelson for
having dropped an arm. Scorn springs
easily to the essentially vulgar-minded;
and it is as easy to gibe at Montfort as
a foreigner or at, Nelson as a cripple,
as to gibe at the struggling speech and
the maimed bodies of the mass of our
comic and tragic race. If I shrink
faintly from this affair of tourists and
tombs, it is certainly not because I am
so profane as to think lightly either of
the tombs or the tourists. I reverence
those great men who had the courage
to die ; I reverence also these little men
who have the courage to live.

Even if this be conceded, another
suggestion may be made. It may be
said that antiquities and commonplace
crowds are indeed good things, like
violets and geraniums ; but they do not
go together. A billycock is a beautiful
object (it may be eagerly urged), but it
is not in the same style of architecture
as Ely Cathedral; it is a dome, a small
rococo dome in the Renaissance manner,
and does not go with the pointed arches
that assault heaven like spears. A char-
a-banc is lovely (it may be said) if
placed upon a pedestal and worshipped
for its own sweet sake; but it does not
harmonise with the curve and outline of
the old three-decker on which Nelson
died; its beauty is quite of another sort.

Therefore (we will suppose our sage to
argue) antiquity and democracy should
be kept separate, as inconsistent things.

Things may be inconsistent in time
and space which are by no means in¬
consistent in essential value and idea.

This explanation is plausible ; but I
do not find it adequate. The first ob¬
jection is that the same smell of bathos haunts the
soul in the case of all deliberate and elaborate visits
to “beauty spots,” even by persons of the most
elegant position or the most protected privacy.
Specially visiting the Coliseum by moonlight always
struck me as being as vulgar as visiting it by
limelight. One millionaire standing on the top of
Mont Blanc, one millionaire standing in the desert
by the Sphinx, one millionaire standing in the
middle of Stonehenge, is just as comic as one
millionaire is anywhere else; and that is saying a
good deal. On the other hand, if the billycock had

shrines and trophies and the idea of large masses of
ordinary men. On the contrary, these two elements
of sanctity and democracy have been specially con¬
nected and allied throughout history. The shrines
and trophies were often put up by ordinary men. They
were always put up for ordinary men. To whatever
things the fastidious modern artist may choose to
apply his theory of specialist judgment, and an
aristocracy of taste, he must necessarily find it

difficult really to apply it to such historic and

monumental art. Obviously, a public building-is, meant
to impress the public. The most aristocratic- tomb
a democratic tomb, because it exists to bej^seen ;
the only aristocratic thing is the decaying qorpse f
not the undecaying marble ; and if
the man wanted to be thoroughly

aristocratic, he should be buriedhis
own back-garden. The chapel the

most narrow and exclusive sect te uni¬
versal outside, even if it is limited
inside; its walls and window's confront
all points of the compass and all?quar¬
ters of the cosmos. It may be small
as a dwelling-place, but it is universal
as a monument; if its sectarians had
really wished to be private they should
have met in a private house. When¬
ever and wherever we erect a national
or municipal hall, pillar, or statue
w r e are speaking to the crowd like a
demagogue.

The statue of every statesman offers
itself for election as much as the
statesman himself. Every epitaph on
a church slab is put up for the mob
as much as a placard in a General
Election. And if we follow this track
of reflection we shall, I think, really
find why it is that modern sight-seeing
jars on something in us, something
that is not a caddish contempt for
graves nor an equally caddish contempt
for cads. For, after all, there is many
a churchyard which consists mostly of
dead cads ; but that does not make it
less sacred or less sad.

The real explanation, I fancy, is this:
that these cathedrals and columns of
triumph were meant, not for people
more cultured and self-conscious than
modern tourists, but for people much
rougher and more casual. Those leaps
as of live stone like frozen fountains,
w'ere so placed and poised as to catch
the eye of ordinary inconsiderate men
going about their daily business; and
when they are so seen they are never
forgotten. The true way of reviving
the magic of our great minsters and
historic sepulchres is not the one which
Ruskin was always recommending. It
is not to be more careful of historic
buildings. Nay, it is rather to be more
careless of them. Buy a bicycle in
Maidstone to visit an aunt in Dover,
and you will see Canterbury Cathedral
as it was built to be seenT Go through
London only as the shortest way be¬
tween Croydon and Hampstead, and
the Nelson Column will (for the first time in your
life) remind you of Nelson. You will appreciate
Hereford Cathedral if you h^ve come for cider,
not if you have come for architecture. You will
really see the Place Vend6me if you have come on
business, not if y'ou have come for art. For it was
for the simple and laborious, generations of men, prac¬
tical, troubled about many things, that our fathers
reared these portents. There is, indeed, another ele¬
ment, not unimportant: the fact that people have gone
to cathedrals to pray. But in discussing modern
artistic cathedral-lovers, we need not consider this.

come privately and naturally into Ely Cathedral, no
enthusiast for Gothic harmony would think of objecting
to the billycock — so long, of course, as it was
not worn on the head. But there is indeed a
much deeper objection to this theory of the two
incompatible excellences of antiquity and popularity.
For the truth is that it has been almost entirely
the antiquities that have normally interested the
populace; and it has been almost entirely the
populace who have systematically preserved the
antiquities. The Oldest Inhabitant has always been a
clodhopper; I have never heard of his being a gentle¬
man. It is the peasants who preserve all traditions
of the sites of battles or the building of churches. It

SAID TO BE IN DANGER OF FALLING: THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA.

The world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa has always been popularly supposed to have been built out of the
perpendicular of set purpose, but that interesting legend seems now to be untrue. And, worse still, it is
leaning more and more, to its assured and speedy fall, just as the Campanile of St. Mark's crashed down to
ruin. That is the finding of an Italian' Royal Commission, who state that it cannot remain upright much
longer, and demand the taking of immediate measures for its safety. They have found also that the
foundations of the tower are only 9 feet 9 in. below the surface, and that it originally stood bolt upright.
Also they state that the base of the tower is immersed in a watery subsoil. The tower, which was begun in
1170, is known to have been affected by earthquake shocks. In 1829 the tower was 14*4 feet out of the
vertical line? it is now 15*4 feet—f.e,, leaning a foot more.

is they who remember, so far as anyone remembers,
the glimpses of fairies or the graver wonders of saints.

In the classes above them the supernatural has been
slain by the supercilious. That is a true and tremen¬
dous text in Scripture which says that “where there
is no vision the people perish.” But it is equally
true in practice that where there is no people the
visions perish.

The idea must be abandoned, then, that this feeling
of faint dislike towards popular sightseeing is due to
any inherent incompatibility between the idea of special

MR. RICHARD WHITEING,

Mr. Richard Whiteing, who ,OUrnalist ^ Author, Granted a Civil
has been granted a Civil List ***

Pension of ^100, “ in consideration of the literary merits of his
writings,” is well known as the author of “ No. 5, John Street.”
He is a journalist of wide and varied experience, as well as an
author, and was born in London in 1840. His first essay in
literature was in 1866. He has published eight novels in all.

Sir William Crookes, F.R.S., who has been appointed by the
King to the Order of Merit, holds a foremost place among the
scientists and physicists of the world. His appointment may be
taken as filling the place in the Order left vacant by the death
of Sir William Huggins as a re-

__ presentative of Science. In the

earlier period of his career as a
physicist he made the discovery
of a new element, “ thallium ” ;
and his experiments in regard to
light and radiant matter have
been of world - wide interest and
the utmost value; in particular,
his later investigations as to the
properties of radium. He has
three times received the medals
of the Royal Society, of which
he is secretary, and has held
W office at various times as Presi-

the British Association,
~ the Chemical Society, and the

Institute of Electrical Engineers.
He was knighted in 1897. and is
in his seventy-ninth year.

Mr. Thomas Hardy, whom the
King has appointed to the Older
of Merit, is, of course, the great¬
est figure among our living novel¬
ists, and he takes the place in
the Order vacated by the death
of Mr. George Meredith. His
first notable story was published
■ in 1871 — “ Desperate Remedies.”
^^1 It was closely followed by “ Un-
/.«*, BuuaZdfry. lk ' r the Greenwood Tree,” “A
Pair of Blue Eyes, and “ Far

liis later works, the best known
are probably “ The Trumpet Major,” “ The Woodlanders,”

“X-ray dermatitis,” as it is now

skill could suggest to save life
was made, and Mr. Cox under¬
went successive operations, losing
fingers, hand and arm, but the
ravages of the disease at his
chest and throat were beyond sur¬

and a public subscription raised

“ You toQ;” said she, “have your

" Dreadnoughts- An interesting question is raised by
the diagrams that we publish as to the
and their Armour. rea j necessity of so heavily armour-
isee illustrations.) i n g the Dreadnought battle¬
ships of modern navies. It is pointed out that
proving-range tests do not represent the actual
conditions o? warfare, and that it is impossible
to judge from them the effect in naval warfare
of a shell when, after a flight of several
miles over water, it strikes obliquely against
the side-armour of a battle-ship. This is
what may be expected to take place when
two fleets of Dreadnoughts are in action,
firing broadside-on, at the normally ac¬
cepted battle-range of 9000 yards. The
12-inch guns are shown as elevated at
5 deg. 04-1 min., corresponding to the
range. The shell leaves the gun with
its axis inclined upwards at 5 deg. 04'1
min. to' the horizon, and in its course
describes a flat parabolic curve, attain¬
ing its maximum elevation about midway
between'the opposing ships and striking the
enemy at an angle of descent of 7 deg. 18 min
Owing to the gyroscopic effect of its rapid rotation,
spinning'on its longitudinal axis, the shell’s axis through¬
out maintains a position parallel to its original plane of
rotation—5 deg. 04'1 min. to the horizontal. If, therefore,
the enemy’s ship is on an even keel, the shell strikes it at
an angle to the armour of 12 deg. 22 1 min. : the sum of
the shell’s own angle of inclination at which it left the
gun, just spoken of, and its angle of descent. That means
that the^point of striking-energy in the shell on hitting
the armqur is really below the point of impact by some
inches, tending to exert a sharp transverse bending stress

projectile is used, for one reason in order that it may

be readily stopped by the sand of the proof-butt. To
prevent accidents to those carrying out the tests, should
the gun rupture under the tests, the cage and back-

screen shown in the Illustration are provided—con¬
structed of heavy railway-rails in six layers spaced by
similar rails. This form of construction would stop all
fragments inside, at the same time enabling the gas-pres¬
sure from any burst or explosion to escape harmlessly.
The gun is fired by electricity, the firing-party being
under cover in a splinter-proof structure at a distance.
At the same time, the velocities of the shot, according
to the various charges, are measured by means
of a pair of electric wires stretched on screens
across the path of the projectile at fixed distances
apart, the breaking of each being automatic-
ally registered and timed by a very simple
but ingenious set of instruments. The
velocity in modern guns now reaches
3000 ft. per second, and the appliances
and instruments can measure to one
fifteen - hundredth of a second. After
five or six rounds have been fired satis¬
factorily, the gun is returned to be
measured a second time, so as to en¬
sure that no abnormal straining has
taken place, and to be examined for
any signs of a flaw or crack. That final
examination over, the gun is ready for
issue, for either naval or fort service, as
may be ordered.

THE KING'S VISIT TO ALDERSHOT i HIS MAJESTY RIDING THROUGH THE CAMP WITH
THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT AND GENERAL SMITH - DORRIEN.

The King ind Queen motored down to Aldershot on Monday, to stay until to-day, and the Duke and Duchess
of Connaught also motored across from Bagshot. Soon after his arrival his Majesty rode out, with the Duke
of Connaught and Lieut.-General Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien, to Rushmoor, where he paid a surprise visit to

on the sV|ell, and causing its fracture before it can
penetrate the armour. In a heavy sea, more¬
over, allowing the ship struck to be rolling 12 deg.
from the) vertical, if at the moment of impact the
roll be away from the firing ship, the axis of the
shell would make a* total angle of 17 deg. 26 2 min.
with a line at right-angles to the armour at the
point of impact. At the same time, it is suggested
that the roof-armour on the heavy gun - turrets
should be made considerably thicker, in the event
of a shot striking there, should the ship be rolling
towards ! the enemy, and the roof of the turret
so Mclining at the moment of a shot’s impact.

Such penetration would involve the destruction of
both turret and guns. It is put forward that, for
practical purposes, a nine-inch armour-belt would
really suffice to protect the sides of any ship, the
saving of weight of armour being devoted to the
better protection of the ship elsewhere—the thick¬
ening of the armour at the ends of the ship, and
at the bases of the funnels and conning - towers.

At the same time, it would be possible so to in¬
crease the thickness of the roof-armour as to render
it much less easily penetrable than in present con¬
ditions. We may add that we are indebted to the
Scientific American for details on this interest¬
ing subject.

A HOPPNER WHICH HAS FETCHED A RECORD PRICE. THE PORTRAIT
OF MATILDA FEILDING, SOLD AT CHRISTIE’S FOR 7550 GUINEAS.
One of the sensations of the sale of Mr. R. W. Hudson’s collection at Christie’s was
the record price of 7550 guineas obtained ior J. Hoppner’s portrait of Miss Matilda
Feilding as a hurdy-gurdy player. In 1896 it was sold at Christie’s for £1550. The

by some of their own friends. Although on a
question of Parliamentary strategy they have re¬
assured their followers by providing for an autumn
sitting, they have not reconciled the Irish to the
spirit duty, nor have they removed the distrust
of the Labour Party. At the same time, the

by a considerable number of strong Protestants,
and there is also grumbling in the Radical
quarter on account of the heavy ship - building

There was frequent disagreement among them¬
selves, as well as in every other section of the
House, on the Bill for the Parliamentary en¬
franchisement of women occupiers. Mr. F. E.
Smith led the opposition to this measure in one
of the most effective speeches which he has de¬
livered in Parliament. Mr. Haldane gave cordial
support to it as “a merely natural step forward";
and after Mr. Walter Long had warmly denounced
the proposal, Mr. Lyttelton rose from Mr. Long’s
side to take the other view: reason and justice, in
his opinion, demanding that the Bill should pass.
Lord Hugh Cecil, also speaking in its favour,
threw satire on the physical-force argument.
There were women, he said, who could knock
him down, but would that be a good reason for
disfranchising him, and ought Sandow to be made
a plural voter on a large scale ? Mr. Winston
Churchill and Mr. Lloyd George contended that
the Bill was anti-democratic because it was limited
to certain sections of women, and Mr. Asquith
opposed it because he maintained the distinction
of sex ; whereas his colleague, Mr. Runciman,
was among its advocates. On the other side,
Mr. Balfour pleaded for the extension of the
franchise to women in order that government by
their consent might be secured; but Mr. Austen
Chamberlain asserted that the great majority of
the sex were opposed to the obligation. A victory
for - the Second Reading by 299 to 190 votes
encouraged the promoters, but by declining to
send the Bill to a Grand Committee the House
practically refused to give it any further facilities.

In the Eton and Harrow match the interest is not only centred in the players, but also in the spectators, for among the friends and relatives of the boys who come to watch the game arc

as those of cricket, interests that take the form of strawberries and cream and other delicacies of the luncheon-tent.

THE RIGHT PLACE TO HIT A VIPER i IN THE BACK.
No attempt should be ni.de to strike a viper on the head, as it
quickly slips aside, or will perhaps turn round and assume the offensive.
A light blow breaks its back and pins it to the spot, where it may
easily be killed by crushing its head.

Coleridge has it that—

Some have said

We lived ere xet this robe of flesh we wore.
Tennyson, too, writes—

Of something felt, like something here
Of something done I know not where ;

Such as no language may declare.

Or, again —

If one but speaks or bows, or stirs his chair,
liver the wonder waxeth more and more,

So that we say, “All this hath been before,

All this has been I know not when or where.”

The sensation may seize one at any moment, and is
not limited to a feeling of familiarity with places, but
extends even to persons and words. Authorities
have noted the prevalence of this feature, especially
in cases of neurotic subjects, and of those who in¬
cline to an epileptic tendency, but there is no doubt
of the experience of the feeling of the past in the
present on the part of healthy normal and perfectly
sober-minded people.

of the peculiar and not uncommon phase

has by no means escaped the notice of
psychologists, nor has it been neglected
by poets and novelists. A few quotations

is taken in by the two lobes — then, I think, we
have formulated a physical basis for the under¬
standing of how the feeling of the past in the
present may be produced. A man enters a strange
place; the left and more active brain-lobe takes in
his surroundings, so to speak ; the right lobe follows
in a flash, it may be, but still behind. Thus we get
two distinct perceptions instead of the normal one.
The second perception is confronted by the first, and
so we get a false sense of familial ity. The right
lobe finds, in fact, that the left has been “there
before it." Andrew Wilson.

FRENCH SNAKE » THE POISONOUS
VIPER WITH A TRIANGULAR HEAD.

Three kinds of vipers are found in France. They
have a flat, triangular head, a short, thick-set
body, and a narrow neck. The eyes protrude,
and the tail is short and tapering. The usual
colour varies from copper-red to grey (accord¬
ing to age and species] with tlack markings.

THE CLEFT-STICK METHOD OF CATCHING A VIPER i
A FRENCH GAMEKEEPER EFFECTING A CAPTURE.

A good wav of catching a viper is by means of a cleft stick. The cleft is
kept open by another stick till the creature is pinned down, then the other
stick is quickly withdrawn and the cleft closes tightly on the viper.

As I have said, imaginative persons have seen in
such a mental phase a suggestion of a life which has
been lived before—a very ferble theory indeed, because
its chief support is founded on th? notion that the
previous existence must have dealt with a similar

THE NEXT STEP IN THE CLEFT - STICK METHOD.

THE VIPER CAUGHT IN THE CLEFT.

The cleft having closed tightly on the viper’s neck, the reptile can be
dispatched at leisure. This method of catching a viper is useful when it
is hiding under rocks and cannot be hit with a stick.

THE MECCA OF THE CRACK SHOT: BISLEY, 1910 .

DRAWN BY W. B. ROBINSON

A GENERAL VIEW OF THE CAMP AT BISLEY. SHOWING THE DIFFERENT RANGES: AND SOME SIGNALS THAT GIVE

PLEASURE (OR OTHERWISE) TO THE MARKSMEN.

Bisley Camp of 1910 is practically of the same size as last year, although for various reasons the number of entries in some of the competitions is somewhat below that of 1909. One

notable innovation is the human-figure target that has been introduced on certain ranges in place of the old-fashioned black-and-white bull's-eye target, and in this last also there is an

important new feature in the shape of an inner “central" bull's-eye. a small ring marked in the middle of the black, which makes all the difference when the scoring is close. The signalling

methods and scoring system are shown in the corner of the drawing, the dummy target being shown at the butts after each shot as usual.

MLLE. DESTINN AS TESS.

Mile Destinn app«ared last week as Tess In Baron d'Erlanger’s
opera of that name, based on Thomas Hardy's famous novel.
She preserved the simplicity of the character while singing
with the utmost intensity.

version of the text is by Mr. William Wallace,
who can hardly be said to have triumphed
over the many difficulties that beset the trans¬
lator of a singularly unpleasing legend. Some
of the rhymes are quite painful, and suggest
the standard of a music - hall song, even
while we remember that translation is a
very hard and thankless task.

There is no reason to doubt that “ Feuersnot”
will find many admirers, but to the writer it is
no more than one of a great composer’s early
efforts in opera that give but few signs to the
most sympathetic listener of what was to follow.

'|'HE most strik¬

ing perform¬
ances of last week
in the world of music were those of Mme. Kousnietzoff
and Signor Marcoux. Of the Russian soprano no more
need be said than that she has drawn crowded houses to
“ Faust ” and given that much-abused opera a fresh lease
of life. Her Marguerite is a wonderful performance, the
conception of the part being in no way hackneyed, while
the singer’s voice seems to revel in the difficulties and
intricacies of Gounod’s score, while expressing its ultimate
beauty. Her success at the first performance was eclipsed
when the opera was repeated with M. Dalmores as Faust,
and now subscribers are hoping to hear her as Mimi and
Juliette. Signor Marcoux, in the part of the Father in
Charpentier’s opera, “ Louise,” has struck one of the most
genuinely tragic notes that Covent Garden has heard this
year; his work as singer and actor is the finest he has
given us yet, and raises great hopes for the future. The
man who can come after M. Gilibert without raising re¬
gretful recollections must needs be a great artist.

At His Majesty’s Theatre, the “ Feuersnot” of Richard
Strauss has been given in London for the first time. It

in his life from the commerce of painting, he was a man of
many cities, but more essentially a man of the heath, the
hills, and the unrivalled horizon. Under the same roof will
be shown many specimens of old Sussex ironwork, in the
collection of which Mr. Brabazon was much interested.

The Society of Graver-Printers in Colours bolds an in¬
augural exhibition at 25, Bedford Street. The capture of
colour and of the shop-windows by a number of second-rate
foreign etchers has, till the present time, given an added
value and propriety to the use of black ink. While colour
has romped into a discredited popularity as the hand¬
maiden of caricature, of “the real chromolithograph,”
and, lastly, of a “high art” movement, black-and-white
has remained the reputable convention of our staider
masters. The new society marks a change. The staider
masters have now, it seems, the courage of their colour.

MUSIC.

ART NOTES.

is a one - act opera, with libretto by
Ernst von Wolzogen, and was produced
in Dresden nearly nine years ago.

Neither the great strides made by the
composer nor his world-wide popularity
help to alter the writer’s opinion that the
story is offensive and the music poor. At
first h aring one gets the impression that
the composer’s attention has been con¬
fined almost entirely to his orchestral
effects, and that he has small regard for
those who are concerned with conceited
utterance. Only when Kunrad, the hero,
who for once is a baritone rather than
a tenor, is making a speech that is sup¬
posed to be a vindication of the composer
and his music, and when Kunrad and
Diemut sing their love-song together,
does the music reach the level we asso¬
ciate with the composer. If Strauss had
done nothing better for the stage than
“Feuersnot” it is hardly likely that he
would have gained any recognition in
the opera house, and it is an open ques¬
tion whether his latter day genius can
make this early work acceptable, or gain
for it in England anything more than a
very brief hearing.

They seek to prove, and to prove almost
for the first time, that the graver-printers
of England are not shut off from that
unending field of reality and imagination.
The most significant and satisfactory of
the works shown in Bedford Street are by
Mr. Theodore Roussel.

A small exhibition of early Persian
and Chinese pottery, Persian miniatures,
and Chinese Kakemono at Mr. Paterson’s
Bond Street Gallery makes an interesting
supplement to the many collections of
Oriental art now in London. No. 22. “ a
Person seated, holding a Cup, in Blue
Dress with Gold Sash,” is a beautiful
example of sixteenth - century Persian
miniature work, once easily obtainable,
but lately become rare and valuable.
Even so recently as at the sale of Leigh¬
ton’s effects such work fetched but a
tenth of what it now commands. Two
other miniatures, very similar to those
admired and copied by Rembrandt when
they were newly painted, remind us how
laggard has been our own appreciation.

A HALF-TIMBERED HOUSE IN WHITEFRlARS. U ' v
Whitefriars is a reminder of the religious life of Chester of the
Middle Ages, and the brethren were not apparently a very reput¬
able set. In the streets there were pitched bittles between the
monks of St- Werburgb and other no more respectable secular
religions—the Black Friars and the White Friars. To have been a
drunken brawler, haunting grimy thieves’ kitchens and gambling
hells, himsell a thief and murderer, was no disqualification to
prevent any given monk being elected Abbot.

THE PHCENIX TOWER ("KING
CHARLES'S" TOWER).

Mr. Francis
Duckworth
claims for his

“Chester” (A. and C. Black) that it is neither guide-
v book nor history; rather does it seem to him to he a
novel without a hero. Sometimes it is easier to write a book
than describe it; and, while we do not accept our author’s
label, we will not attempt to replace it. Mr. Duckworth has
essayed the portrayal of his city in a succession of
pictures of various phases of its life at various crises
of its historv. He crowds the streets with the rabble ;
he sets his company a-shouting in the inns ; he makes
his mayors strut about in tlie odour of authority;
here the peasant from Blacon appears in red coif,
mauve overall, and scarlet hosen ; now the pikeinen
come up at a double to keep the peace ; now the
monks brawl in the street. It is a Chester pageant,
compact in the cover of a book. In his open- c
ing chapter Mr. Duckworth is at his best ; seeking ,
tiie essential spirit of the city, lie finds it to be

interesting ; that follows from the very nature
of the subject, and if liveliness be any pallia¬
tion of careless English, slang, and unblush¬
ing journalese, Mr. I-awton may take comfort
and hold himself excused. The wild phan¬
tasmagoria of Balzac’s life loses nothing by
its presentation in these pages ; the only
trouble is that it tends somewhat to obscure
the real seriousness of ills contribution to
literature. Mr. Lawton opens with the thread¬
bare contention that the facts of a great

standing of "

his performance. We take leave to doubt this. I he
greater the artist the more impersonal his work will be,
and in the end it will stand on a plane quite apart from all V
questions of sordid biographical detail. Mr. Lawton himself
admits that Balzac grew more and more impersonal as he pro¬
gressed, and that, like all the great creators, he drew the type
rather than the individual. “ The individual dies ; the
type remains ” : there, at any rate, we have one of the
secrets of immortality. In such a book as this, one
would prefer to see all attempts at literary criticism left
severely alone. Then one could consider Balzac in his
egotism, his magnificence, his squalor, his amiability,
and his repulsiveness as he lived ; and, setting all that
aside, the reader could take up the “Human Comedy
once more, and realise how far above the Balzac of
debts and duns, of futile amours and Gargantuan
orgies, towered the great anatomist of the human
spirit.’ Turn from the uninspired portraits and the

THE WATER-TOWER. WITH THE

" As, the Phoenix Tower soaring above its gloomy
ravine is a symbol of the city’s tragedy in her latter
end, so is the Water-Tower of her prosperity and
sturdy strength. It was thrown forward like a pro¬
tecting wing to cover the shipping, but now it is like
a despairing arm flung out as if to hold back the re¬
ceding river. Narrow strips of water gleam here and
there, but there are unbroken lines of houses between
the Water-Tower and the Dee. One’s glance sweeps
uninterrupted to the Welsh hills beyond."

if it is not finally established. Modern
Chester he leaves to the illustrator, Mr.

leaves the modern Chester of smoke and
suburbs to the casual traveller, who un¬
fortunately gets his impressions of the
place from the windows of the railway-
carriage. Of Dr. Johnson at Chester,
and of the scol ling he had from Mrs.
Tlirale because he took Queenie walking
on the walls in the evening and risked
giving her a cold, there is nothing.

THE FALCON INN.

The Falcon Inn Is one of the most picturesque of the famous old timbered inns of Chester, «
historic renown, like the Blue Posts, where Dr. Henry Cole was outwitted by the landlady, in the time of the Marii
persecutions, a story that is one of the memorable "Legends of C*- —*er." Not a few of tbe old taverns were "me
cellars under the Rows, with floors of beaten earth and crassed w„..s, dark and unsavoury. Here you might t«l
your dinner for 4d. or 6d., paying an extra penny for a flagon of ale."

The abiding memorial of this unhappy era in the city s
history is ‘King Charles's Tower.’ To most only the
view of it from the walls is known. It should be
seen from the canal tow-path in the morning light.
It springs clear from the canal level a hundred feet
or so, its broad base in the gloom, its summit
glowing warmly. At such a time it seems fit to
bear tragic memories of royalty laid low."

Rodin’s statue, and there one sees the
conclusion of the whole matter. The two
views are very well illustrated by a con¬
versation between Victor Hugo and
Baroche, the Minister of the Interior, at
Balzac’s funeral. “ Baroche, who at¬
tended rather from duty than appiecia-
tion, remarked: ‘ Monsieur Balzac was
a somewhat distinguished man, 1 be¬
lieve.’ Scandalised, Hugo looked at the
politician and answered shortly: ’He
was a genius, Sir.’ It is said that
Baroche revenged himself for this rebuff

r by whispering to an acquaintance near
him : ' This Monsieur Hugo is madder
still than is supposed.’ ” Mr. Lawton’s
^ book may not do the highest service
to Balzac’s memory ; but it will be
eagerly welcomed by those mortals
(and they are many) who possess the
godlike love of seeing a good man
struggling with adversity.

THE BALL GOES OUT: A NERVOUS

Ranelagh and Roehampton. The Committee of Hurlingham has always been the arbiter of polo, and the game,

was first introduced into England about 18 70 by Captain Hartopp. of the 10th Hussars. 3

first polo club was formed at Lillie Bridge. The game flourished there until the advent of the Hurlingham Club. For some days past various regiments have been
contesting at Hurlingham in the Inter-Regimental Tournament, and it was arranged that the final should be played off there on Wednesday last. M. Simont s
painting, which does not illustrate any particular match, shows a typical incident of this most exciting game. There is occasionally some slight element of danger to the
spectators when the ball is accidentally hit over the board that surrounds the ground, but, as a matter of fact, such cases of risk to the onlookers are extremely rare.

PUT TO A SEVERE STRAIN: THE METHOD OF ASCERTAINING ANY PECULIARITIES IN THE GUN
WHICH MAY BE A SOURCE OF DANGER.

Our Illustration gives a good idea of the method by which the security of ordnance is tested. Before a gun is made, great precautions are taken to test the steel, and the greatest

care is exercised to make observations during its manufacture. But by far the most important is the final test after its completion. After leaving the factory, the gun is handed to

independent inspectors It is placed on a “sleigh" consisting of a recoil mounting on a heavy frame placed on two bogies. This sleigh is run under the cage, which is constructed
of heavy railway metals in six layers, spaced by similar rails. This cage is strong enough to prevent any fragments from flying out laterally. To prevent pieces from being thrown
to the rear of the gun. there is a screen at the top of a slope. Up this slope the sleigh is allowed to recoil after firing, in order to avoid straining it. Thereon it soon comes to a

rest owing to its huge weight, and by a system of brakes it is so arranged that it returns to the same place where the gun was fired, ready for the next test. The gun is subjected

to a charge giving a pressure of 25 per cent, in excess of that of the service charge, and is fired electrically from the bomb-proof shelter shown in the left-hand foreground of our
drawing The projectile used, which is flat-headed, is fired into a sand-butt in front of the cage. The dotted line in the drawing shows the line of the electric wiring, and a
section of the cage has been cut out by our Artist to enable the position of the gun to be easily seen. The actual test consists in the firing of a series of gradually increasing
charges, commencing saith that to be used when the gun goes into use. The “service charge" it is called, the increase betrrtf* «djusted so as to give finally, as already mentioned,
an increase of 25 per cent, on the pressures given by the “service charge.'* Should there be any weak portion of the gun. the severity of the extra pressures to which, in
succession, the gun is subjected will find it out. and the cage is the provision made in case of such a mishap, to prevent the fragments being scattered to the general danger.

Further particulars on this subject are given in another part of the paper.

\3MFU ATTACK

DIAGRAMS WHICH SHOW HOW THE GYROSCOPIC ACTION OF A SHELL PREVENTS A TRUE END-ON BLOW.

It was noticed in the Russo-Japanese War that not in a single instance was penetration effected through the heavily protected portions of battleships, though at range tests 12-inch armour-
plate was easily pierced. It is suggested by the "Scientific American" that the absence of penetration is due to the gyroscopic effects of the high speed of rotation (7000) revolutions per minute,
of the shell throughout its flight, which maintains its head at the inclination at which it left the gun. In the top diagram is given the angle of departure of the shell and the angle of fall
over 9000 yards. In the left hand lower diagram the ship that is hit is shown on an even keel. The gyroscopic effect of the rapid rotation of the shell causes its axis to keep a position
parallel to its original plane—that is to say. 5 degrees 04'1 min. The centre diagram shows the position of the head of the shell on contact when the vessel is rolling to leeward. The right
hand lower diagram shows that when the vessel is rolling to leeward, the axis of the shell is at an angle of 17 degrees 26'2 min. The right hand diagram is a cross section of an American
"Dreadnought" drawn through the centre of a 12-inch turret. This is designed to show that directly the ship rolls heavily, the arei of 3-inch armour roof exposed is twice that of the
12-inch armour-protected sides. It being impossible to give in such a small space the whole of the arguments, an explanatory article dealing with this subject will be given elsewhere.

ANDREW LANG ON ** TREASURE ISLAND n
AS AN AMERICAN SCHOOL - BOOK.

H OW venerable a man feels, how well-stricken in years,
when he sees a book by his junior published as a
school reading-book, with biography and elaborate notes,
just like one of Shakespeare’s plays! This fate has be¬
fallen “Treasure Island,” by R. L. Stevenson, who was
in the youngest class or form at my school when I was
in the highest.

Yes—how amused “ R. L. S.” must be if he knows
it—here is “ Treasure Island ” in an American school
series, “the young one among the swells”; with Milton
and Sir Walter, Shakespeare, Spenser, Defoe, and Dry-
den, Addison, and Byron, and Goldsmith. Not many
American classics share the glory. Mr. Clayton Hamilton
is the editor.

The American schoolboy learns that for his book as
published in a serial, “ R. L. S.” got two pounds ten for
4500 words. That is a jolly lot better, if I may speak as
boy to boy, than one gets for writing works of history in
the spirit of elaborate research. “ A pound a thousand,”
my children, is cheap for a novel, but is magnificent com¬
pared with the pecuniary rewards of the mere scholar—at
least such is my experience. Mr. Hamilton says: “In

BALZAC.

Afthr a Pa inti xr. bv Louis Boui.angf.r.
lixhibtttd in the Salon of ISJJ.

“His portrait by Louis Boulanger, which was painted during the
year of 1835, had been ordered rather with a view to advertising
him at the ensuing Salon. . . . The likeness produced by Boulanger
be esteemed a gooJ one, rendering his Coligny, Peter the Great
persistence, which, together with an intrepid faith in the future,
he said was the basis of his character."

considering ‘Treasure Island’ as an English Classic,
it is of prime importance that we should remember
that the author wrote it for fun, and expected it to be
read for entertainment .”

In the same way Homer expected the Iliad to be
read, or rather heard, “for entertainment”; but
critics treat him as if he had been composing a
Parliamentary Bill, and not composing it well.

“There can be no doubt that the admirable sym¬
metry of structure” (note these words, my boys!)
“which is one of the main merits of the novel, re¬
sults in great measure from the fact that the author
planned it with a map before him ”—his own map
of Treasure Island. If Homer had begun by draw¬
ing a map of the ^Egean, the structure of the Iliad
would display a symmetry more admirable than it
possesses. “ R. L. S.” did not draw maps for his
other romances, and that is why their plots are not
so coherent.

I think there are other reasons. The passions and
emotions are more complicated ; the petticoats come
in and increase the difficulties to an extent which
the artifices of mathematics are unable to compute.

THE HEAD OF BALZAC'S FAMOUS STICK.
Baltic, in 1836, one day received from an unknown lady
admirer a tre«s of fair hair, whereupon he, “struck with a
brilliant idea, announced his intention of ordering Gosselin,
the goldsmith, to manufacture a marvellous hollow stick-knob,
in which a lock of the blonde hair should be inserted, and all
over ihe top of the knob were to be fixed diamonds, sapphires,
emeralds, topazes, rubies, chosen out of the many he had bad
given him by his rich lady-enthusiasts.”

“She had splendid shoulders, the finest arms in the world, and a com¬

framing mass of curled hair, her finely chiselled forehead and the sinuous
grace of her gait gave her an air of abandon and dignity together.”

“ The major punishment inflicted at Venddme was imprisonment in the
dormitory. . . . Balzac says i * We were freer in prison than anywhere.

bars across the top.' “—{After a drawing by a. Queyrov’

In “Treasure Island” “ the author never halts happen¬
ings.” Perhaps my ingenious friend would scarcely have
regarded that phrase as appropriate in an English classic,
and a boy must be pretty clever if lie knows what is meant
by “ vividness of visual appeal.” My sympaihies are wholly
with Mr. Hamilton when he warns not only students, but
teachers, that “Treasure Island” “is not a book to be
considered too curiously. The best way to appreciate a
good story is to let it alone, and not to fuss about it.”

These words deserve to be written in letters of gold.
“ Not to fuss about it.” Apply this to “ Hamlet,” and
you take the scanty bread out of the critical mouth.

The notice gives plenty of information, and corrects the
grammar of R. L. S. Something “broke out immediately
the doctor left the house.” “ This solecism is one to which
Britisli (rather than American) authors seem especially
liable.” American authors halt that sort of linguistic hap¬
pening, it belongs right here, but to speak of a deserted
mining-camp as “a regaling setting” belongs with Mr.
Hamilton, as does the phrase “he took along a cop\ -
book,” and “the latter” of three books. The British
author would say “ the last.”

For “ R. L. S.’s ” errors in seamanship I do not apolo¬
gise, nor would I ever have discovered them. He niighi
have belayed the binnacle and keelhauled the capstan bars,
for me. But as his mistakes were instantly pointed out, it

BALZAC.

From a Caricature of the year 1838.

In addition to Dantan's “Comic Statue of Balzac,” now in the
Music Carnavalet, Paris, there are a number of caricatures of him.
That shown above was drawn not long after Balzac’s return home
from his Corsican tour, at the time of bis “Superior Woman,”
and the “Firm of Nucingen,” a scathing satire on the Parisian
stockjobbing world of the day. It represents Balzac at “his Italian-

looking brick cottage " at Les Jardies.

was indolent to leave them uncorrected. Any lubber
can see that the same current cannot run at once
from north to south and from south to north. But if
it did not. the story could not go on, probably.

Will boys detest “Treasure Island” because it
is part of their tasks? If I know them, they will,
just as Byron, at school, bated Horace. Boys never
cared much for “Treasure Island”; it was their
elders who rejoiced in it. The style was not a thing
which they could appreciate. They vastly preferred
“King Solomon’s Mines” and “She” to “Trea¬
sure Island”; while to these they much preferred
any book by the late Mr. Henty, which is a mystery
of taste. The only books within my reach, at scr.ool,
which I never opened, were the books used in the
“ English class.” I cannot remember the names of
any of them except “The Sopha,” by the ingenious
Mr. Cowper.

Would Izaak Walton’s “ Compleat Angler” (with
notes on fish and flies) be a popular school-book in
rural districts? I wonder? Would the Badminton
Cricket Book make cricket unpopular ? The boy is
a strange being; I suspect that the Cricket Book
would bore him as much as Buike on the Sublime.

LADIES' PAGE.

A T the Women’s Conference at the Japanese Exhibi¬
tion last week, Mrs. Despard made a sympathetic
speech on the difficulties of poor housewives, and com¬
mented on the practice of teaching- cookery at public
classes with a large variety of appliances and a ga->-
stove, to girls who will have to prepare the food for their
families with the aid of a frying-pan alone over a small
and smoky coal grate. Fortunately, however, the enter¬
prise of the gas companies has in recent years, in large
towns, to a considerable extent remedied the grate
trouble. The companies allow quite poor people, even
those living in single rooms, to hire “ penny-in-the-slot ”
meters, and small gas grilling and boiling stoves, and
so the housewife of that class has now a chance of
emulating the cooking of her French compeer, who works
at a neat little charcoal-stove. Gas-stoves are now
adopted with great advantage in households of every
class. I am myself a first-rate cook, and have en¬
joyed doing cookery since, as a small youngster, I was
allowed to go in the kitchen to make gingerbread and
toffee for myself. I consider gas-cookers incomparably
superior to coal-heated stoves for small families, and to
be without any defect, except that servants will often not
be careful enough in the use of the gas—will neglect to
turn it out when it is temporarily not required; will
allow the jet, too fully turned on, to flare and sing
under pots that would really do better with a small
supply, and so on. The saving of dirt and trouble is
so great that cook-; who study even their own interests
must do all that they can to make it possible for their
work to be carried on by gas. But to cook a large
dinner, of course, the coal-heated kitchen range, with its
ample hot-plate to keep a dozen or more pans simmer¬
ing, and its possibilities of roasting and baking several
dishes at one time, is indispensable.

With every appliance and convenience, cooking,
like all other domestic work, when done not merely as
an amusement occasionally because you feel disposed
for it, but regularly and ordinarily, is drudgery, mono¬
tonous and ever-recurring. It is idle to profess other¬
wise, for facts have a way of over-riding pretences
and crushing them to powder. In a notice of the pro¬
spectus of tiie most recent addition to the Colleges of
Housecraft it is said, for instance, that “ one of the
first lessons learned is that housecraft is not menial
work ! No woman considers it menial to take care of
rare china or to arrange flowers. . . . Therefore ” (many
people think that two disconnected statements become
a logical argument if merely linked by that magic
word “therefore”), “if she carry out the more ordi¬
nary part, such as the cleaning of boots, stoves, and
knives, with the same care and scientific method, she
will discover the charm that is attached to housework,
and her mind will be disabused of the erroneous idea
that such work is unsuitable for an educated woman.”
This is an excellent example of the futility of talk
trying to oppose harsh facts. Of course cleaning the

mud off boots and the stains off knives would be waste
of an education ; it is mere grimy, low - class, hard,
manual work, requiring muscle, not science, and devoid
of any sort of “charm.” Nevertheless, it is possible
to elevate even such drudgery to one’s mind, when
it must\>e done, by remembering that it all scives to a
noble and worthy end. As Burns said for the husband,
so may the wife feel doubly about her tasks—

To make a happy fireside clime
For weans and wile—

That's the true pathos and sublime
O’ human life !

It is obviously a duty, and, once the initial difficulties
are overcome, it is also a joy, to a mother to nurse her
own infant. When this cannot be done, much care is
needed. Cow’s milk diluted with water, though the best
thing, is by no means a perfect substitute. 'J he calf
does not need, and is not supplied by Nature with,
precisely what suits the human infant. Quite recently,
some German scientists believe that they have dis¬
covered how to make cow’s milk practically identical
with mother’s milk. A constituent, called “ Lact-
albumin,” the most nourishing part of the milk, is
separated by a new process from cow’s milk in the form
of a soluble powder, to which the name of “ Albulactin ”
has been given. The addition of a proper proportion of
this powder to cow’s milk, diluted with water, makes it
exactly like mother’s milk, with the full natural nourish¬
ment in it and in a state to be digested at once by the
child into small, light curds, instead of forming the hard,
large curds that, unaided, the cow’s milk forms in a
baby’s stomach. “ Albulactin ” has been extensively
tried in Germany, with the best results, and can now be
purchased here from chemists, and, it is to be hoped,
will be found of great advantage to “bottle babies.”

“ Liberty ” is a name we all know stands for refine¬
ment and artistic beauty in design and for softness of
tint and artistic draping quality in fabric, whether in
reference to household furnishings or personal attire.
Messrs. Liberty begin their summer sale on July 18 , at
their well-known premises, filled with charming things,
in Regent Street. Quite an assortment of pretty fancy
trifles, for bazaars or home use, pin-cushions, candle-
shades, frames, and so on, can be picked up on the
counters at wonderful sale prices, from sixpence upwards.
Muslins, silks, cashmeres, and velveteens for gowns,
and tapestries and brocades and other materials for
curtains and coverings, are all reduced. The visitor
will also find bargains in carpets, furniture, and
Japanese goods.

Every lady w'ill appreciate the delicate refinement
and sweetness combined of the perfumes prepared by
the Crown Perfumery Company ; of their many varieties,
“ Crab - apple Blossom” is a special and exclusive
favourite. “Crown Lavender Salts” are most refresh¬
ing, and will sweeten and perfume the room if left
unstoppered a few minutes. Filomena.

“BABY AND i.”

A T WHAT AGE should parents begin to clean their
little children’s teeth ? A serious question for
every young mother!

Here is a pract ical answer by Miss Ellaline Terriss (Mrs.
Seymour Hicks), who refutes the still popular idea that
children’s temporary teeth may be left more or less
uncared for as they have to be shed. From the time

her baby cut its first tootli she began to use Odol
in the water with which the little one’s mouth was
washed, and the sweet little teeth are cleaned, con¬
sequently, twice a day with Odol.

Thus Miss Terriss sets a good example. Take it to
heart, mothers and nurses!

For on the preservation of the first teeth for their full
time the health of the permanent teeth and the shape of
the adult mouth depend. More than that, the present
and future growth and development of the child depends
on the first teeth being able to prepare the food by
istication for the body to use. This is
if the teeth are allowed to decay, for no
hew properly if chewing causes pain.

To prevent decay of the teeth the daily
•rinsing of the whole mouth with Odol is indis-
nsable. Odol arrests absolutely the de-
Inpment of the germs that produce decay.
It is the first and only preparation
for cleansing the mouth and teeth
which exercises its antiseptic and
refreshing powers not only during
the few moments of application,
but continuously for some hours
afterwards. The taste of botli
flavours, “Sweet Rose” and
“Standard Flavour,” is so agree¬
able that, once Odol has been
used, children clamour for it,
and instead of regarding the
cleaning of their teeth as a penance
and a misery to be got through
as quickly as possible, the little
ones hail the sight of the Odol
flask as a friend that they may
morning and evening enjoy the
pleasure its use gives. The solu¬
tion of Odol should, however, not be
made too strong, as the delicate

membrane in the mouths of young
children is so much more sensitive
than is the case with adults. A few
drops in a tumbler of water are
sufficient to thoroughly cleanse and purify
the mouth and teeth.

That Miss Terriss herself attributes
the beauty of her teeth to Odol the
following words testify, for she says:

uses Odol. It is delightfully fragrant, reliably anti¬
septic and imparts a sensation of cleanness which
is to be obtained in no other way. Once used
it must always be used.”

“As a sunny smile beautifies a countenance
so do shining teeth beautify a mouth. We cannot
all have perfect teeth, but we can all have a
perfect mouth - wash, and that everyone has who

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

M OTOR touring, particularly abroad, is growing in
favour every day, for early in die season
though it be, the returns of the Trans-Channel ship¬
ments of cars have already surpassed those of any
previous year. Notwithstanding the cost of transit and
the super price of petrol, a motor-touring holiday in
France will be found to work out about thirty per cent,
to forty per cent, less than a similar jaunt in this
country. The arrangements, also, by which foreigners
are permitted to take cars into Fiance and to tour
there have been considerably modified and varied
since last year. Individual associate-membership of

So spare tubes should not be spared, while big rein¬
forced patches and a garter must be taken along.
And whether the tyres used are Dunlops or no (they
should be for an easy mind) 1 would strongly urge the
use of the Dunlop bolt protector to all the security bolls.

On Thursday morning of last week a 6o-h.p. six-
cylinder noiseless Napier left the Club House in Picca¬
dilly to make a top-speed, non-stop run to Edinburgh
and back to Brooklands, where a speed demonstration
was to have been given—the whole, of course, under
R.A.C. supervision of the severest. With luck, the big
car should easily win through, Alnwick Hill, with its
blind take-off, being the only rise likely to give trouble.

the Royal Automobile Club costs but one
guinea, and the knowledge and experience
of the whole touring department is at call
for one’s safe conduct abroad.

In these days of reliable automobiles, all
but the ultra-luxurious can dispense with the
paid driver, for on a foreign tour he is even
more of a nuisance than at home. So, if the
hired man is to be dispensed with, every pre¬
caution should be taken to avoid trouble en
route. The car should be carefully gone
over, and any necessary' adjustments made
by a competent man, when trouble need not
be expected from the mechanical side of the
outfit. It is well, however, to take thought
as to tyres, for to-day the roads of France
and other parts of Europe are certainly more
troublesome than are our roads at home.

Books” (Chapman and Hall), will appeal to all
lovers of France, for the writer. Miss Bethain-Edwards,
has a true intuitive knowledge

of “ our friends the French.” The _______

studies cover a very wide field,

seems ever propitious to love, and
Miss Betham - Edwards tells her
readers of a curious, touching,
and yet, a sense, grotesque
love-story, only just given to the
world, though the heroine of the
tale was a prominent figure in

seventy years. This was the

U THE WOMEN NAPOLEON LOVED."

D ID Napoleon ever love anyone but himself? Accord¬
ing to Mr. Tighe Hopkins, whose interesting book,
“ The Women Napoleon Loved ” (Eveleigh Nash),'is em¬
bellished with some charming illustrations, women played a
very great part in the great conqueror’s life, and that
although at no time was love the “occupation” of
Napoleon. In a clever preface, entitled “ The Feminine
Tangent,” the English writer analyses his hero’s senti¬
ments towards and against the fairer sex, and lie quotes
what was, perhaps, the truest word ever written by
Napoleon in this connection—“I am used to kind, gentle,
persuasive women; these are the women I like.” Mr.
Tighe Hopkins has been forced to make a selection in
the long, and, it may be hinted, the ever-lengthening list of
those whom Napoleon loved—if one may use such a word
in such a connection. The first chapter of the book con¬
cerns “episodes of youth,” and recalls the little-known fact
that in a now - forgotten volume of Memoirs it is stated
that the young Napoleon actually made an offer
marriage to Grace Dalrymple, who afterwards became the
wife of Sir John Elliott. Jose¬
phine’s relations to her famous
husband are told with a good
deal of pungent point ; and then
in rapid succession we meet with
the various women whose names
have become immortal greatly
because of their association with
Napoleon. The longest of these
“ affairs ” was that with the great
actress, Mile. George, whose very
curious and over-frank memoirs
have only lately been given to
the world ; but by far the noblest,
indeed it might be said almost
the only true heroine of romance
whom Napoleon loved, was the
Polish Countess, Marie Walewska,
whom the author well calls “the
Iphigenia of the North,” for she
undoubtedly sacrificed herself for
the sake of her country. The
portrait published of her in this
book is singularly charming,
giving an impression of almost
Greuze - like grace. She seems
to have been truly attached to
Napoleon, and there came a very
strong link between them in the
shape of the little son, born in
1809. He lived to become French
Ambassador to this country, and,
as Count Walewski, was a well-
known and popular figure in
the London society of the ’fifties.

Mme. Walewska never deserted
her imperial lover. She was at

Fontainebleau on the night of the first abdication; and she
paid a brief secret visit to Elba with her child, being taken,
whilst there, by the-simple - hearted islanders, for Marie
Louise. Finally, she implored the British Government
•to allow her to rejoin Napoleon at St. Helena. It is
melancholy to turn from the touching account of this noble,
if erring, woman to that which describes the ignoble
Austrian Archduchess who behaved with such utter
treachery to the husband whom she had not even the excuse
of disliking; for all the documents which hive been kept,
including numerous private letters, prove that Napoleon’s
second wife was really attached to him, her selfish heart
having been conquered by his devotion and attentions.

THE TOURING METROPOLIS OF SWITZERLAND. LUCERNE—THE SCHWEIZERHOF QUAY,

AND THE RIGI IN THE DISTANCE.

As the point at which travelling routes in Switzerland converge from north, south, east and west, and as the northern termir
the St. Gothard Railway, Lucerne has become known as the metropolis of tourists in Switzerland. It is also in itself a
interesting and beautiful place, and is surrounded by some of the finest scenery to be found in the world. By means of the
arranged by the Regent Street Polytechnic hundreds of Londoners every year visit this delightful holiday centre.

A new turbine steamer, the St. Petersburg , specially
built for the Great Eastern Railway Company, has just been
placed on the Harwich - Hook of Holland service. The
first-class accommodation is similar to that of an Atlantic
liner. A special feature is the number of private cabins
for one or two persons, and particular attention is paid
to the heating and ventilation, both the inner and outer
cabins on the main and low r er
decks being ventilated direct from
the deck, and heated in winter to
a suitable temperature, passengers
being able to adjust the supply of
air at will. The machinery com¬
prises triple turbine-engines. The
St. Petersburg is fitted with wire¬
less telegraphy and submarine
signalling apparatus.

The “ Michelin Guide to Swit-
zeiland ” (1910 edition), just pub¬
lished, is written in English and
French. A feature is the atlas,
which includes sixteen town plans
and nine special maps, with key
chart and eleven maps of the
country in sections, which should
be of special value to the motorist,
as by different signs he can learn
whether a road is a main or
secondary, or mountainous, or
narrow, if the ten-kilometre speed
limit is in force, or whether the
road is closed to motor traffic.
Points of vantage where it is
worth stopping to enjoy a view,
are shown by green crosses, and
the conditions regulating taxes,
customs, hotels, and charges,
garages, and petrol depots—are
also given. Part of the book is
devoted to tyre management and
repairs, and it is to be had from
the Michelin 'l yre Company, of
Sussex Place, South Kensington,
or 105, Boulevaid Pereire, Paris.

(Orchestral

is undoubtedly the noblest and best of all forms of music. The Aeolian Orchestrelle makes it possible for
anyone to play the grandest conceptions of the masters with full orchestral effects—just as the com¬
posers intended their music to be played. The illustration shows a music roll used in playing
the Aeolian Orchestrelle. By this means every note of even the most complicated score is
sounded pneumatically whilst the performer exercises the fullest control over the
volume of sound, tempo, and the tonal qualities of the orchestral instruments
represented in the Aeolian Orchestrelle. To realise what a really
wonderful instrument it is you should call at Aeolian Hall and
play some of your favourite music on the Aeolian Orchestrelle.

You require no technical knowledge. Your musical
taste is alone sufficient for you to play well.

A Good Start in Life.

Mothers should early realize how essential good health is for the success of their child in after life. A
badly nourished baby generally means an undersized child, wanting in stamina and vigour. If uhable
to nurse your baby, you must give the substitute that most closely resembles human milk. No farina¬
ceous or starchy food or unmodified cows milk is permissible to a child under 8 or 7 months of age.
The ‘‘Allonburys Milk Foods are so prepared a3 to remove the difference between cow’s milk and
human milk, and they are as easy of digestion as the natural food of the child.

The '•Allenburys" Foods are alike suitable for the delicate and robust, and when used as directed, form
the best means of roaring a child by hand. The No. 1 Milk Food may be given alternately with the
mother's milk without fear of upsetting the child or causing digestive disturbance. The dreaded
process of weaning is thus made easy and comfortable both to the mother and child.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY FOR THE HAIR.

If your Hair is turning Grey or White or Falling Off, Use the

MEXICAN HAIR RENEWER

For it will positively restore, in every case, grey or white hair to its original colour, without leaving the disagreeable smell of most “ Restorers.”

It makes the hair charmingly beautiful, as well as promotes the growth of the hair on bald spots where the glands are not decayed.

This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural colour and gloss in from eight to twelve days.

It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition.

It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigour. Daily applications of this preparation
for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural colour and richness.

It is not a dye, nor does it contain any colouring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp,
or even white linen, but produces the colour within the substance of the hair.

It may he had of any'Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in Toilet Articles in the Kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per Bottle. In case the dealer has not

An interesting- novelty is a walking - stick
containing a very powerful electric-light, which
can be switched on or off instantly as required.
It is put on the market by the Alexander Clark
Manufacturing Company. The possibilities for
using such a stick are, of course, immense,
and it goes without saying that it would be
“ serviceable to very many people at night.
The price is fifteen shillings, and the charge (which is
renewable for a few pence) lasts many months.

We regret that in our last issue a portrait of Canon
Teignmouth Shore was given, instead of that of his son,
Mr. W. Teignmouth Shore, the well-known novelist and
journalist, as the author of a forthcoming book to be
entitled “ D’Orsay, the Complete Dandy.” Those who
know Mr. Teignmouth Shore’s work will look forward to

brated leader of early Victorian fashion.

THE KING AS HEAD OF HIS ARMY : HIS MAJESTY IN THE UNDRESS UNIFORM OF A FIELD-MARSHAL AND ON HIS BLACK CHARG eR ‘

King George is showing himself a keen soldier, and the charac: eristic thoroughness with w.iich his Majesty deals with everything that he undertakes was strongly evidenced during
memorable week that he has just been spending at Aldershot. Turning out daily at an early hour, the King went everywhere on horseback, and personally inspected everything. jbo^ed

a close personal interest in the soldiers by visiting their barracks and making informal inspections of the men "at home." as it were, also going over the hospitals and the training.• chool*
establishments. His Majesty also watched the field-firing practice of the troops at close quarters, alighting from his charger and following the soldiers on foot as they idvtnced **

"dummy" targets, and accompanying the final attack until the "cease-fire" sounded. On one occasion also, during field operations, his Msjesty. observing that the men seemed ve ry b° c m
their service kit, had one man brought to him, and personally examined the details of the kit and the weight of the equipment. From Aldershot his Majesty has now gone to see fC» ,n * n

at the great fleet muster in Mount's Bay. All the world knows there is no keener sailor than King George. In our drawing, his Majesty is accn accompanied by the Duke of q ^ps^^t

A NEW LINK IN HISTORY

('ire Illustration r.)

S INCE the excavations in Crete, which changed the
Minoan rnvths into historical fact and revealed
the existence of a great island empire that existed in
the zEgean long before Greek civilisation began, there
have been few discoveries of greater interest and im¬
portance than those which have recently been made
by Professor Garstang at Mero£, in the Sudan.

Professor Sayce in 1909 located the site of the city
of Merog on ihe east bank of the Nile, between the Fifth
and Sixth Cataracts, and the excavations carried on by
Professor Garstang at the end of 1909 enabled the
details of the Ethiopian capital to become known. The
Temple of Amon, where the Ethiopian Kings were
crowned, was also discovered. Even more interesting is
the excavation of the beautiful Sun Temple, which was dis¬
covered at the edge of the Ichor, or meadow, thus confirm¬
ing the account of Herodotus, who tells us that Cambyses
sent to the Ethiopian King to inquire about “ the Table
of the Sun ” in a meadow “ in the suburbs of the capital,
where cooked meats were set each night.” There is no
doubt that this building is referred to in the Homeric
legend that Zeus and the other gods feasted every year
for twelve days among the blameless Ethiopians. Many
other buildings were also explored, and the Temples of
the Lion and the Kenisa were discovered It may be noted
that the lion emblem was of frequent occurrence, and
may probably have been the totem of the district.
Many beautiful objects were dug up by the expedition,
including forty inscriptions in the hieroglyphics of MeroS,
two royal statues, and a great many vases of a new’ kind
of pottery, objects of wood and glass, tiles and pottery.
Especially interesting was the pottery, which is almost as
thin as biscuit china, and gives evidence of Roman influ¬
ence. Professor Sayce found Greek inscriptions showing
how the city was destroyed at the end of the fourth
century A.D. by a King of Axum, since which event the
city was unoccupied. There still remains much to be
done, of course, but meanwhile, all who are interested in
history owe a debt of gratitude to Professors Sayce and
Garstang for their wonderful discoveries, which have
been undertaken under the auspices of the Liverpool
University Institute of Archaeology, and other benefactors.
An exhibition is now being held in the rooms of the
Society of Antiquaries in Burlington House, at which the
results of the first season’s excavations may be seen.

THE WHITE WINGS OF THE AIR AND SEA.

ONE OF THE OLDEST-A SAILING-VESSEL.

Our photograph bring? together in striking contrast the earliest and the latest forms of sails, which, in two different elements, man has invented for purposes of locomotior. The c.rigio
of sailing-boats goes back into a very remote period of human history. In the use of aeroplanes mankind are only just beginning to feel their r.ew-fledged wings. This

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Tuly 23. 1910.-124

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

TT is proverbial, of course, that England is politically
* attached to that process which some call pro¬
ceeding step by step, and others call taking two bites
of a cherry. We may indeed question the universal
truth of this description. Englishmen, after all, have
done one or two violent and definite things. King
Charles the First’s head, I regret to say, was not
sawn off slowly, but struck off sharply, with what the
curate in “The Private Secretary” called a good
hard knock. The English aristocrats of the Revolu¬
tion did not nibble at James II. like a cherry; they
dropped him like a hot potato.

Neither did they nibble at
William of Orange like a cherry;
rather, they swallowed him—like
a pill. The massacre of Wex¬
ford and the slaughter after
Culloden left nothing to be de¬
sired as far as thoroughness is
concerned. The late Cecil
Rhodes was an Evolutionist in
a foggy soit of way; but the
Jameson Raid was not at all
evolutionary. And whenever
there has been the smallest
chance of tyrannising over any¬
body in Ireland the English
Parliament has displayed a
bounding swiftness and dazzling
rapidity of action which con¬
founded and rebuked those who
had sneered at its slowness in
all other matters. But though
we may have shown some slight
haste in the meaner matters of
fear or avarice, we can honestly
claim that we have shown a re¬
sponsible and judicial slowness
in the higher department of
human good.

It may also be doubted
whether this custom of gradual
change is quite so practical as
some have represented it. The
disadvantage of going step by
step is that when you have made
one step you are often forcibly
prevented from making the next,
as any philosopher may discover
who tries to go step by step
through somebody else’s corn¬
field. The philosopher had much
better make one wild leap and
land in the middle of the corn.
No one ever really knows how
long an experiment will be al¬
lowed to last ; no one really
knows how much sustained pub¬
lic force there is behind any
trend of reform, or when it may
suddenly give out. It is all very
well to talk of revolution as a
leap in the dark ; but every step
of reform is a step in the dark,
and I would as soon leap over
the edge of Shakespeare’s Cliff
as step over it. The result (at
the bottom) would be much the
same. And we do constantly
find in English history that
calamity has overtaken these

called Irish. The real objection to taking tv/o bites of
a cherry is that you only get one bite.

That is the real difficulty of the few democrats who
are in favour of Female Suffrage. Mr. Shackleton’s
Bill, recently discussed in the House of Commons,
was, of course, a perfect example of our cautious and
compromising kind of legislation. It makes a man
smile to remember how all the old ladies who appear
to conduct the Jingo and anti-Socialist newspapers
set up screams of terror at the sight of the Labour

partial proposals before they achieved their final
object. Many who abolished public executions be¬
lieved that this would lead to the abolition of all
executions. But I think there can be no doubt that it
has led rather to their perpetuation, on the principle
that what the journalistic eye does not see the human¬
itarian heart does not grieve over. A political com¬
promise is like two children tugging at a cracker till
it comes in two in the middle. One child gets one
half, but the other half flies further away. In short,
the situation is a paradoxical one, which can only be
conveyed in such forms of speech as are mysteriously

ONE OF THE ONLY TWO PLACES IN THE WORLD WHERE A CARPET OF FLOWERS IS MADE:

A FLOWER-CARPETED ROAD AT GENZANO. IN THE INFIORATA FESTIVAL.

On another page we give Illustrations of the carpets of real flowers that are made for the procession of the Sacred Host on
the feast of Corpus Christ!, at Orotava, Teneriffe. The only other place at which carpets of flowers for a similar purpose
are made is said to be the village of Genzano, near Rome, one of whose streets, carpeted with flowers, is shown in the above
photograph. The festival of flowers at Genzano, known as the Iniiorata Festival, dates back to 1778, but has been in abeyance
since 1895 until it was revived this year. The people whose houses face the street decorate them and carpet the road in front
with flowers in various designs.

Members, as the Marats and Couthons of a new Terror.

The old ladies may rest in peace. Many other people
are indeed becoming bored with the half - hearted
fictions of Parliament. Mr. Balfour may let off an
intelligent observation which in that atmosphere sounds
as startling as a pistol-shot. Mr. Asquith may, and
almost certainly does, welcome the horseplay of the
Suffragettes as some sort of relief to the suffocating
tedium of party politics. But so long as there is one
Labour Member left in the House, the old flag of the
British Constitution will still be flying. So long as the
Labour Party remains, there will be at least one solid

block of slow, reverent, and strictly Conservative com¬
promise. There they stand, a wall of able, honest,
successful, and profoundly respectable men, a perma¬
nent barrier against the anger of idealists, the wild
free-thought of Bishops, the fantasticality of aristocrats,
and the fighting dogmas of the Catholic Irish. The
Labour Members seem to be the only people left who
believe in the party system. Neither the Liberals nor
Conservatives believe in themselves; but the Labour Party
believes in both of them. And Mr. Shackleton rose
full of all the old English constitutional idea of obtain¬
ing perfection piecemeal, stand¬
ing for the principle that half a
loaf is better than no bread.
As a personal taste in bakery,

I think it depends which half.
In a fairy-tale of my childhood,
a wicked stepmother sought to
persuade a good princess to
share an apple with her, on the
seemingly plausible principle that
half an apple is better than no
fruitarian diet. But the princess
rapidly discovered the principle
to which I refer—that it rathe
depends which half—for the half
she got was full of deadly poison.

Supposing (for the sake of
argument, for I cannot conceive
it to be very likely) that Mr.
Shackleton’s Bill does obtain
further facilities and passes the
House of Commons; and sup¬
posing (again for the sake of
argument, though this is im¬
measurably more likely) that it
passes the House of Lords, it
will then be regarded by all
such simple Suffragists as have
any democracy in them as the
beginning of Suffrage legislation.

I am almost certain it will be
the end of Suffrage legislation.
The vague mass of mildly ideal¬
istic men and women who have
supported the movement in order
to see something happen will
fall away, having seen some¬
thing happen. The very prom¬
inent and wealthy women will
be quieted and will silently
strengthen their position, as all
their class has done for the last
four hundred years. And the
wot king-women w ill remain like
the working-men — full of faith,
hope, and charity towards a race
of politicians very much lower
than themselves.

The essence of the position,
therefore, amounts to this. If
you are on the side of woman
against man, or (in other words)
if you are a criminal lunatic,
you should welcome Mr. Shackle¬
ton’s Bill because some women
get something which some men
dislike their having. If you
hold a more decent opinion,
that, upon the whole, the
tyranny of the world is that of male over female
rather than that of rich over poor, then you may
welcome Mr. Shackleton’s Bill as a sort of symbol.
If you think (as many do, both rich and poor)
that England is on the whole better governed by
rich men than by Englishmen, then you should
take Mr. Shackleton’s Bill into your arms like a
new-born babe and cherish and strengthen it above
all things. But if, by any wild chance, you originally
became a Suffragist because you believed in the
ultimate rule of the people, then you ought to stamp
it down into the mire.

THE GLORY OF TURNER AT LAST FULLY REVEALED. A ROOM IN THE NEW TURNER
WING AT THE TATE GALLERY.

The new Turner Wing of the Tate Gallery, built through the munificence of the late Sir Joseph Duveen,
affords a setting for the masterpieces of the great piinter which at last enables his genius to te fully appreciated.
The wing consists of two great galleries containing the principal oil-paintings, and a number of smaller
rooms bolding a selection from the water-colours and sketches, of which Turner bequeathed to the nation
nearly twenty thousand. Some of Turner's pictures still remain at the National Gallery. Two of these, he
stipulated in his will, should always hang between two works by Claude Lorrain.

So much for the spirit of scientific history.

It is very easy to make too much of the training
afforded by our amusements. It can never pretend to
take the place of military training. But as the in¬
terest excited is as keen as if the result of a match
were important, as excitement may bring with it
abject demoralisation or “funk”—the pallid cheek,
the parched tongue, the wavering hands, and the
trembling knees—training which teaches boys to
conquer their bodies, even at a game, is not with¬
out value. I do not mean that a cricketer who is
confident in all extremes will be courageous when
bullets are screaming and men falling around him.

their captain and fast bowler, Mr. Fowler, made top
score, 64, aided by Mr. Birchenough with 22, and
Mr. Wright with 26. Then came the day of small
things—a six and a duck. But Mr. Boswell, the last
man and not out of the first innings, perseveringly
accumulated 32. Harrow would need to go

hour. There is

nothing more stimulating in cricket than a long stand
and hard hitting by the two last men. Every mortal
present, with a heart in his or her breast, was count¬
ing every run : Harrow people, of course, without
anxiety; Eton people with scarcely even ‘’a wild sur¬
mise ” of victory. Defeat might be mitigated, that
was all that could be said, when the end of the
innings (219) left Harrow with only 55 runs to get
for a win. They could not spend more than four
wickets over the task.

But Mr. Fowler’s blood was up. He takes a
very long run, he bowls with all his body and soul,
and his first ball overthrew the stumps of Mr. Wilson,
who got fifty-three in the first innings.

‘•Another for Hector!” The others came as
boldly forward as the foster-brothers of Eachan in

the links. A man may stand
bravely up to Mr. Knox’s
bowling, and yet desire to take
cover under a hot fire.

Yet, as far as it goes, the
tenacity, the superiority over
their nerves, displayed by the
Eton boys in their recent
victory over Harrow bears a
close analogy to tenacity in
battle. They did not know
when they were beaten, yet
they were at least as much
beaten as the Allied forces
were at Waterloo about 5.30
p.m., June 18, 1815.

Like most people whose
early education has been ne¬
glected, I am on the side of
Eton at cricket; the reasons
why it would take long to tell.
So, when Harrow made 237 in
their first innings, and Eton,
when darkness fell early on
the first day of the match,
had lost five wickets for 40,
I funked. I abandoned hope.

I thought, “ and perhaps in

the second day, to shiver and blink in the frosts and
darkness of our July. I was properly punished- Eton

to the wicket again, for half a dozen runs, when the
last man, Mr. Manners, came in. His legs were not
trembling. Companioned by Mr. Lister Kaye (13), he hit
about him like—like Richard Cceur-de-Lion in a mellay,

old burden of the Celtic song.
Mr. FoWlerVball “raged like
a fire among the noblest
names.” Six champions bit
the dust before Mr. Fowler in
a short halLhour.

The two last men, like
those of Eton, batted manfully.
They had to bring up the runs
from thirty to fifty-four for a
tie, twenty-four runs had they
to make. They were cool, they
were plucky. Neither the pace
of Mr. Fowler nor the dodgy
twists of Mr. Steel (son of A.
G.) did them dismay.

The heart was in the mouth
of every spectator ; they were
wild with hope and fear—
and all about nothing, says
the wise man, who misses
his chances of getting fun
out of life.

E facade ot Bucking¬
ham Palace, though
singularly blank to the eye,
yet bristles with architec¬
tural problems. In the first
place, it faces, as Mr.
Lutyens has pointed out, in
the wrong direction. On
the easterly winds of Lon¬
don come the smuts—the
eastern aspect of St. Paul’s
is black with them ; on the
south-westerly winds come
the cleansing rains, and all
the south-westerly corners
of Wren’s stone towers are
whitened by them. The
contrast of white and black
as you make your way
round a City church may
strike you perhaps as ugly, perhaps as beautiful ; but in
either case it is eventful, and even useful in marking the
contours of pillars and capitals. But the front of Bucking¬
ham Palace offers no contrasts ; it has given its whole plain
face to the smuts. Moreover, during the most of a summer
day it is cast into formless shadow.: while every tree in the
Park and every pebble in the Mglf*is moulded by light and
shade, the Palace is featureless and yet aggressive It is
thus that it is seen by all the world when all the world is
stepping westwards in the evening, whether from the
Commons or the counting-house.

But let Mr. Bottomley and Mr. Lewis Harcourt arise early
and walk to the Palace when the sun is still on it from the
east, and they will find, instead of a building inanimate
and artless, one that makes the best show it can of vitality
and expression. The thing is still mean, it is true, but not
inanimate. This only proves that the architect who under¬
takes the refacing of the Palace has a thankless task. He

will bring its varied
achievements to a close.

Already the .signs of the
year may be read in the
diminished number of con¬
certs, the warning notice
of “last nights’* on the
opera programmes, and
the publication of arrange¬
ments for the sixteenth
season of Promenade Con¬
certs at the Queen’s Hall,
which will be inaugurated
on Aug. 13. Among the
lafe concert-givers are the
threebrothersCherniavski,
who drew' a considerable
audience to Bechstein’s
last week. The brothers, who are all very young, play
'cello, violin, and piano, and they were assisted by Mine.
Marie Hooton, who sang English folk-songs. The concert-
givers have more than the normal equipment of talent
and of taste ; their ensemble playing is very satisfying, and
when.time lias matured their playing they may aspire to
the front rank. Already they can interest an audience
that is accustomed to hear the.best of everything.

The concert-halls have been kept fairly busy of late by
the recitals designed to show the talent of the pupils of
well-known London teachers. To the full extent that such
recitals encourage pupils to persevere and give them con¬
fidence they are to be commended ; to the extent they may
encourage pupils to give recitals on their own account,
and join the congested ranks of the soloists, they are to
be deplored. Conditions are obviously unreal. The patrons
of these concei ts are for the most part friends or relatives
of the pupils, and naturally their estimate of youthful

has the wrong aspect. He must build into
the shadow, and give lodging to the dirt of
the town, not only on ledges and in crevices,
but across the whole width and height of his
design. The best thing, then, to do is not
merely to reface the Palace, but to pull down
the front which faces the east. The whole
plea of corrective architecture, however, is
questionable. Ten years of destructive and
reconstructive work could change the bad
looks of London into good looks only accord¬
ing to the notions prevailing during such
ten years. But historically such alteration
would be deplorable. And where would be
an end ?

The collection of Chinese bronzes at Mr.

Larkin’s gallery, in Bond Street, is rich in
“museum ’* pieces. Some of them, it is sug¬
gested, were looted from Pekin, and are
certainly of a sufficient importance to in¬
dicate that China’s parting with them could
scarcely have been voluntary. Italy has in
the past exchanged great heirlooms for
sufficient sums of money; but China does not usually
scatter even crumbs. One marvels that she has not
bidden her Ambassador to visit Mr. Larkin with a
cheque-book and recover at the point of the pen what
was lost at the point of the bayonet. In nearly all the

the colour-effects. E. M.

talent is hardly critical or unprejudiced.
Under these circumstances, applause calls
for serious discount.

At the opera-houses only one novelty has
been produced, and this at Covent Garden,
where “ Habanera,” the long-promised work
by Raoul Laparra, has been mounted at last.
The composer, who is responsible for the
libretto and has been conducting the re¬
hearsals of his work, is quite a young man
and came from the Basque Provinces to study
in Paris. We hope to write at length next
week of his lyric drama in three acts Mr.
Clutsam’s one-act opera, “ A Summer’s
Night,” founded upon a story in the “ Hepta-
meron” which the composer has adapted,
should have been given on Saturday last, but
the unfortunate illness of Miss Maggie Teyte
compelled postponement. In the meantime,
Mr. Beecham has persuaded all the company
en’gaged in presenting ,i Feuersnot ” to sing
with better regard for tune, and those
who have heard the opera two or three
times declare that it improves with each hearing. Miss
Edilh Evans is to sing the music of Diemnt this

The Incident depicted was the outcome of “ lifting” a large number of horses from a ranch in the Yellowstone country, Montana,
by a party of the Blood Indians. They were recovered from the Indian reservation by the skill of Inspecter Dickins and two
memberw of the North Western Mounted Police, in the face of the threats of the Indians, who howled and yelled, and appeared
very aggressive, declaring that the? had only retaliated for the theft of the horses of one of their own chiefs.

the present volume has the touch
of rarity that makes us spin the
pages with an agile thumb from
one interesting illustration to an¬
other before joining Mr. Dobson
in the letterpress. The fairness of
the author (even the policeman is
written of in mildness) is shared
by the artist. Only in one picture,
On the Road to Execution in
Former Days,” is there any touch
of the sensationalism that distorts
the Russia of the English Press.
Mr. de Haenen has wisely sought
his inspiration in the normal life
of the city, and admirably has he
set down his impressions of types
and places. The students, the
dvomik, the workmen, the Cos¬
sack, the peasant, and the Isarall
appear in admirable, casual por¬
traiture. We see the interior of
the Duma, with its women short¬
hand reporters, of the palaces, of
the tea-shops. Mr. de Haenen
has been particularly happy in the
colour arrangement in the charm¬
ing pictures, “ A Servant in
Summer Dress" and "A Russian

Mill.

Nowadays,
we are so

corrupted by slipshod writing that a first glance at
the “ Letters of John Stuart Mill ” (Longmans)
proclaims them slightly forbidding, pompous, and almost
archaic in style. The impression comes with something
of a shock, but the cure for that is to read on patiently
for a little, an exercise that brings its own reward : for
the English is so admirable, although always precise
and somewhat formal, that there is at length nothing
but pleasure to be derived from the reading of the two
volumes. Every page is not, however, likely to be equally
welcome to the general reader, and to the reader un¬
trained in philosophy a great deal will of necessity
remain unintelligible. That is the worst of philosophy ;
not only has it no finality, but it depends upon a jargon,
and every school has a jargon of its own. There is
an excellent short account, by the editor. Mr. Hugh
Elliott of Mill’s family history, and of his truly extra-
nrdina’rv education, compared to which the education
of Richard Feverel seems a very mild affair. John Stuart
Mill like Meredith’s hero, was the victim of his father’s
peculiar notions, and it is to his credit that he came
out of the ordeal as he did. For once the faddist was
justified. He had found the right material. The future
philosopher began learning to when he was two

years old; he began Greek at-three; at seven he had

to its value, and the “whole-hearted admiration ” with
which the author dedicates his volume to the force will
be shared by all who read his book. Only men between
the ages of twenty-two and forty, sound in wind and
limb, of good moral character, unmarried, and of good
physical development, can join the N.W.M.P., so that ir

in emergency to go anywhere and do anything. Mr.
Haydon’s book should not be overlooked by Imperialists;
it might even help to reform Little Englanders.

"In 1830 he was introduced to Mrs. Taylor, and thus
commenced the great alfection oi his life. After twenty
years of the closest intimacy, the death of
Mrs. Taylor’s husband left her free to marry
Mill. But during this time Mill’s reputa¬
tion suffered greatly through his connection
with her. His father expressed his strong
disapproval. When they ultimately married
they withdrew almost entirely from society."

The Chester Pageant thia week yields to none of those that have preceded it. either from the point of view of romantic interest or picturesque effect. It opens with the tramp of the
Roman legions and shows the heroic Agricola and his camp at Chester, which gave the old city on the Dee its name. The second episode (in which Miss Ruth Charrington and her
attendant nymphs impersonate the Dee) recalls the familiar old story of Kiog Edgar being rowed on the river by eight vassal kings. The gift of St. Werburgh Abbey to Chester by Hugh Lupus,
the founder of the ancient Grosvenor family, forms the subject of another episode, in which the part of the Lady Ermentrude, Earl Hugh's wife, is appropriately taken by Lady Arthur Grosvenor.
The fourth episode displays a stirring incident—Archbishop Baldwin preaching the Third Crusade; and the fifth shows the coming - in - state of Prince Edward (afterwards Edward I.) to the
city as the first royal Earl of Chester. Other tableaux are the coming of the hapless Richard II. to Chester; James the First’s welcome there, and the midsummer revels of the earlier Stuart
days in " Mcrric England." and the dramatic battle-scene of the loss of Chester to the King in the Civil War. In the grand finale all the performers take part.

A SPORT THAT INTERFERES WITH POLITICS! A GREAT PIGEON - FLYING COMPETITION NEAR BRUSSELS.

It is claimed by Mr. Seebohm Rowntrcc. in his book upon Belgian " Law and Labour." that politics of any sort are absolutely ignored during the summer, when every Belgian thinks of nothing
but pigeon-flying. Our Artist, describing the occasion which he illustrates, writes as follows: "Several thousand pigeons were let off. Truck-loads of baskets were brought containing pigeons
coming from different countries, but chiefly from Belgium itself. The cages were placed on the ground in piles of three superposed. A man was told to attend to each of these piles. At a
signal, the part of the cages which falls forward was quickly opened, and a chick and noisy cloud of birds rushed out. ascending very high up, where, after a few circles, they seemed
to know their direction and disappeared with great rapidity. Belgian gendarmes were present to restrain the crowd. In the foreground, some Tcrvucren peasant women may be seen wearing a
sort of mantilla over a bonnet, perhaps a survival of the Spanish occupation in the olden timet,"

THE TWO-SHILLING-NOVEL DEPARTURE.

O NCE upon a time, the lighter good things of fiction
made their bow yellow - backed, between paper
boards, and printed on indifferent paper, and still con¬
trived to make things uncomfortable for the ponderous
old three-decker. The latter died, unhonoured and
unwept, and the six-shilling novel marked its oppor¬
tunity, and made the most of it. Its output increased
enormously: so did the tally of its readers. Now
Messrs. Nelson, the pioneers of the sevenpenDy reprint,
have taken a
step at least as
revolutionary as
any that heralded
the extinction of
the three-volume
novel. Their new
novels are written
bv authors of
high standing,
are admirably
printed, bound,
and decorated,
and are offered
at two shillings
net. Who shall
say \vh it this
bold stroke may
not portend ? It
is, at any rate,
the biggest stroke
of luck that has
come the way of

public for many a
long year, assum¬
ing, of course,
that the Nelson
authors maintain
the high level of
excellence that
characterises the

*' Second String.”

Mr. Anthony
Hope strides,

Colossus-like, across the world of fiction. One foot is
planted in those imaginary kingdoms of Ruritania and
Kravonia, and the King of “The King’s Mirror” : the
other stands firm in a more circumscribed land of social
comedy, whose inhabitants, subjected to minute pyscho-
logical examination by their creator, manage, neverthe¬
less, to retain their independent individuality. This is
especially the case with the women: Mr. Hope can
analyse a woman to the bottom of her feminine soul, and
yet she continues to be a self - contained entity, and
neither a puppet nor a peg for emotions. His women

in “ Second String” are so incisively drawn that almost
they overshadow the men who are the primary, active
performers in its history. It is a profoundly moral story,
having for its legson the assumption that solid character
tells—will tell, must tell, must lead in the long run to
success. We of an imperfect world may quarrel with this
noble optimism, but we must concede it is extremely well
worked out here. The capricious and selfish man fails ;
the steady, modest, weighty one becomes the heir to his
worldly Career and to the girl he once hoped to marry.
It is a reflective study; but its humour and its graceful

misdirected cad. Underneath, he is an idealist, a mute
poet—even a hero of that supremely heroic type which
knows feat and overcomes it. He is fine material, botched
in the making by a society that has not yet (from Mr.
Wells’s point of view) a glimmering of its duty towards
the species; he is providentially delivered from ruin ; but
we are allowed to see that he, in escaping it, is the
romantic exception. “ The History of Mr. Polly” is, in
fact, high romance in a sordid setting. His marriage was
a cruel disaster, just because it was exactly the marriage
an ignorant, adolescent Polly would be bound to make.

the adventurous
ages. It is a
fantasy, brimming
over with laughter

and quaint conceits—a pill to purge melancholy if ever
there were one. The three comrades of the tale repre¬
sent youth, muscle, and nimble wits: they are Spanish,
English, and French, and how they came together, what
they did, where they fought, and whose cause they
championed is set forth in lively language by an author
who knows how to handle them with the lightness that
makes half the charm of this preposterous chronicle. If
you want to be tickled into gentle laughter, you must
read “Fortune”: we can recommend it as peculiarly
wholesome for depressed and bilious temperaments.

Where Fat Folks Fail.

Troubles arising from Over-stoutness, and how they

may be Prevented. j

_ LASTING HEAUTY OF FIGURE. _

T HE dreadful affliction of Obesity should never be
made the subject of ridicule, for it is the cause of
more physical and mental distress than the ordinary lean
and active person has any idea of. Obesity is a disease,
and a dangerous one ; one to be warded off at all costs,
if health, strength, and beauty be worth consideration,
and all sane men and women know that these are more
precious than great wealth. A fat man may be extremely
prosperous from a worldly point of view, but he is not a
happy man ; for his obese condition is the constant source
of physical trouble. A very stout lady whose freshness
and beauty have been utterly spoiled by her infirmity
suffers from both humiliation and bodily distress. The
over-stout are much to be pitied.

Especially is this the case when these sufferers have
been persuaded to try some weakening starvation treat¬
ment, coupled, perhaps, with mineral drugging and
other abuses. Then indeed they are to be condoled
with, for they invite more disasters than the disease of
obesity bv itself cab be held responsible for.

Nobody doubts that in certain cases of organic disorder
dieting ii essential, but to starve and sweat and poison
themselves into a flabby and debilitated state in the way
some over-fat people do is a crime against common-sense
and Nature’s laws. That is where fat folks fail to do their
duty to themselves, to their own physical well-being, and,
as a matter of fact, ruin their constitutions and shorten
their lives. There is not the scintilla of a doubt about it.

Nature, allied with modern science, skill, and
resource, has produced the remedy for the permanent
cure of obesity, the remedy which has eluded diligent
scientific searchers for centuries. Antipon is that
modern miracle, a sure, reliable, harmless, pleasant,
strengthening cure for chronic obesity, a preventive of
the bodily condition which conduces to over-fatness, a
rapid reducer of over-weight to normal weight, and a
complete restorer of shapely, slender proportions.

A writer in “ The Illustrated London News ” a short
while ago contributed the following excellent piece of
advice : “ Hosts of stout people who have tried all kinds
of disagreeable semi-starvation methods of fat-reduction
are despairing of ever again attaining normal proportions.
Let them abandon once and for all such dangerous
and debilitating systems and try Antipon , the tonic
muscle-strengthening cure of over-fatness.”

This wise warning and warm recommendation are
repeated with added emphasis by one of France’s greatest
medical men. Dr. Ricciardi, of Avenue Marceau. Paris.
The eminent authority, to whom large supplies of Antipon
are constantly being despatched, says in a voluntary
letter to the proprietors of Antipon : “I must frankly say
that Antipon is the only product 1 have ever met with for
very quick, efficacious, and absolutely harmless reduction
of obesity ; all other things are perfectly useless , and

some absolutely dangerous. You are at liberty to make
whatever use you like of this letter, as I like to do justice
to such perfect products.”

Praise such as this is praise indeed ; and it is re¬
echoed by medical men, chemists, nurses, and others all
over the world. The original letters may be seen at the
registered offices of the Antipon Company—unasked-for
testimony which is undeniably conclusive and convincing.

“ What is the reason of this immense* this unrivalled
success of Antipon ? ” the interested reader may ask. The
answer is—It is because Antipon is an invaluable tonic as

well as a permanent reducer of obesity ; because it re¬
strengthens as well as re-beautifies the body ; because it
encourages the person under treatment to partake of
more, not less, of all foods that are good and whole¬
some ; because, by its remarkable stimulating effect on
the entire alimentary system, it creates a healthy, natural
appetite and promotes sound digestion. Furthermore,
Antipon is not a mere temporary reducer of weight, as
are those “ useless ” and “ dangerous ” products against
which we are timely warned by the eminent French phy¬
sician cited above, but a permanent reducer of obesity ;
it overmasters the dreadful tendency to store up a lot of
fatty matter which the organism not only does not need
but which is a prolific cause of physical trouble. That is
where Antipon shines by contrast with the drugging and
starving treatments that cause stomach, liver, and kidney

disorders and disturb and disable the entire digestive
system. How can health be maintained in such strain¬
ing, racking, and stifling conditions !

The rapid re-nourishment and re-invigoration of the
system under the Antipon treatment is absolutely
essential to true beauty, which cannot possibly exist
without health and vitality. When all the muscles are
literally buried in and impregnated with needless fatty
deposits, the body becomes unspeakably bloated and
clumsy, and the limbs are soft and shapeless, the
abdomen is pendulous, and the hips are abnormally
prominent. And when, added to these gross defects, the
cheeks are puffed and baggy, the chin is a triple one,
and the shoulders and bust are tremendously heavy,
where is beauty of form—of face and figure ?

But Antipon, whilst rapidly reducing all these weight-
increasing exaggerations, strengthens and braces up—
knits up anew—the entire muscular system; the limbs
and parts become shapely, because the re-nolinshed
muscles are firmer and stronger. This wonderful
re-modelling of the body, if it may so be termed, is
therefore due partly to the great fat-reducing effect of
Antipon and partly to the re-development of muscularity
owing to perfected nutrition. The net result is almost a
transformation, and the once stout person, after having
suffered, perhaps, years of humiliation and lack of
health, is positively a different being, looking and feeling
many years younger, with fully recovered nerve force and
brain power; bright, energetic, and happy again.

It is desirable to say a word or two about the special
action of Antipon on the skin. Some stout people fancy
that reducing fatness causes wrinkles and hollows.
With Antipon it is nothing of the sort ; Antipon acts as
a splendid tonic on the skin, which, from being
congested with fatty matter and deficient in functional
power, becomes thoroughly healthy and quite able to
perform its great work in removing impurities from the
blood. The epidermis is purified, and there is not the
slightest suspicion of flaccidity or looseness.

Finally, as to the action of Antipon in removing the
superfluous fat from the interior parts of the body:
this is a work of vital importance ; for, in obesity, all
the organs are more or less dangerously affected by this
excess fat, their vital functions being hampered. The
heart and kidneys become degenerated by fat ; the
muscles of the former are flabby. Vitality, in fact, is
grievously impaired by these impediments. And so their
rapid removal by the great Antipon treatment is a necessary
work admirably performed. The benefit to health is
enormous, and that life is prolonged by this elimination
of the internal fat-excess cannot be controverted.

Antipon is pleasant and refreshing to the palate; it
contains none but the most harmless of vegetable ingredi¬
ents in a wine-like solution ; is neither an aperient
nor the reverse, and has none but agreeable after¬
effects. Medicus.

Antipon is sold in bottles, price 2s. 6d. and as. 6d.,
by chemists, stores, etc. ; or, in the event of difficulty,
may be had (on remitting amount), carriage paid,
privately packed, direct from the Antipon Company,
Olmar Street, London, S.E.

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

I T is very important that motorists taking out a
policy of insurance for all risks in connection with
a motor - car should make themselves acquainted
with all the conditions of the contract entered into.
The Royal Automobile Club are about to issue a
model policy, and insurers should refuse to insure
their cars with any com¬
pany who will not ac¬
cept the Club’s policy
in its entirety.

Quite a lull has in¬
tervened in long-distance
top-speed runs ; indeed,
it has appeared as though
makers had come to
discount their effect upon
the public. In time past
such feats have been
performed without any
reference to fuel - con¬
sumption, so by way of
stirring up interest afresh
in these demonstrations,

Messrs. S. F. Edge and
Co., Ltd., lately sent a
65 - h.p. six - cylinder
Napier, fitted with a
touring body and carry¬
ing four passengers, from
London to Edinburgh and
back on a jaunt of this
kind. Also by way of in¬
troducing a fresh feature,
the quantity of fuel con¬
sumed on the double jour¬
ney was checked through¬
out by the official observer
of the Royal Automobile
Club, who kept watch and
ward over all the doings
on the trip. The big
car—the cylinders are 5 in. in bore, and have a stroke
of 6 in.—did all that was asked of her on, it was
roughly estimated, about nineteen miles to the gallon,
although the exact figures will issue, of course, in the
R.A.C. certificate. Subsequently at Brooklands a speed
of seventy - four miles per hour was achieved over a
measured distance, which demonstrates the wonderful
flexibility of the modern Napier engine.

Steel - studded tyres for the driving - wheels of a
motor-car are considered imperative for the prevention

of the much - dreaded side - slip. Now, steel-studded
covers are considerably dearer than smooth - treads,
and, by the rood, do not wear nearly as long. More¬
over, steel studs wear out quickly on dry roads, make
more dust than smooth covers, and also make an un¬
pleasant noise. As the steel - studded covers are only
really necessary when the roads are greasy, a friend of
mine, who carries a Stepney spare wheel fitted with a
steel-studded cover, uses smooth covers always on his

drivers, and pops on the Stepney when the roads get
slippery. The cover on the Stepney is caused to act
as an effectual non-skid by letting a little air out of
the tyre with which it is in juxtaposition. Quite a
good dodge.

The science, practice, and pastime of automobilism,
as well as of aviation, have sustained an irreparable loss
in the sudden and shocking death of that good sports¬
man, the Hon. Charles S. Rolls, during the Bournemouth
aviation week. The details of that deplorable incident
are now too well known to need recapitulation here.

where it is only necessary to put on record the grief of
the devotees of both pastimes at so gallant a gentleman’s
untimely end. The Hon. Charles S. Rolls had in the
past done much for automobilism. He was doing the
same (and there remained for him much to do) for
aviation, which, as his own too sudden and lamentable
end shows, needs much patient practice and research,
conception and invention, before such catastrophes as
that which has just robbed this country of one of its
most daringly progres¬
sive souls are rendered
impossible. The deepest
sympathy of all followers
of automobilism (which
in the early days of
stress and strife he did
so much to advance)
must go out heart-whole
to his soriowing parents,
who learnt with so little
preparation of the awful
end that had befallen
him.

The Motor Union
most fittingly draws at¬
tention to a case heard
at Bow Street, YV.C., in
which a driver employed
by Mr. R. A. McCall,
the eminent King’s
Counsel, was summoned
for exceeding the speed-
limit on Constitution Hill
on the evidence of the
time-keeping of the park-
keepers. It was asserted
by two men in plain
clothes that the car was
travelling at a speed of
eighteen miles per hour,
whereas the speed-in¬
dicator showed nine
miles only, and, upon
being subsequently tested,
was found to be absolutely correct. The keeper
stated in evidence that he had instructions never
to stop a car unless it was going at above seventeen
miles per hour, to allow for inaccuracies, which
margin of nearly 50 per cent, points to the esti¬
mation in which the authorities hold the capabilities
of these men. In the end, the magistrate dismissed
the summons without calling upon the defence. As
was pointed out in Court, time-keeping is the work of
a trained expert handling valuable and reliable instru¬
ments, and cannot be discharged with accuracy by
pensioned gardeners and similar folk.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, July 23, 1910.-150

LADIES’ PAGE.

M ANY people are not aware, it appears, that a
Women’s Suffrage Bill has on two previous
occasions passed Second Reading - in the House of
Commons, just as it has done this year; but after
each earlier success, also just as now, the Government
has so completely monopolised the time of the House
for the remainder of the Session that no further prac¬
tical progress has been possible. The theory of the
“ Second Reading,” of course, is that the House
thereby expresses its consent to the principle of a
measure, and the details alone are to be further discussed
in “Committee ” ; after going through which, it is “ read
a third time and passed.” I he Votes for Women Bill
has, nevertheless, been thus accepted in principle twice
over before this last voie, and yet its friends have
never been able to proceed with it any further. At the
end of the Session, failing to get through “ Committee,” a
Bill dies automatically, and the weary labour of Sisyphus
has to be recommenced absolutely afresh the next
session. People who object to the methods of recent
agitation should at least bear in mind that for over
twenty years past this Bill has had a nominal large
majority in the House of Commons, and has, neverthe¬
less, been practically ignored. As a Member of Par¬
liament once said to me, “ There never was a measure
that had so many false friends in the House as the
Women’s Suffrage Bill.”

Now that the children’s holidays have begun, and
the Courts and Parliament are closing, the exodus from
London sets in seriously, and travelling costumes and
table-d’hdte dresses are the chief interest in the frock
department of women’s lives. Shantung is adopted for
travelling wear by a good many women who-.e journeys
are not to be severe; but if one is purposing going
much from place to place, either a thin serge or an
alpaca is more serviceable. The coat-and-skirt style is
the most practical, for the changes of temperature en¬
countered, even in one day and in a warm climate, are
often considerable, and then the coat will slip off easily
(or on, as the case may need), and the blouse under¬
neath, which should be of thin silk, will be immediately
supplemented, or the reverse, to meet the position. In a
train, for instance, it is often insupportably, feverishly
hot; then as the sun declines will come a rather long
ride on mule-back or drive in an open carriage that may
give a chill if the costume cannot be easily arranged
to harmonise with the changed conditions.

For wear at the table d’hbte, black and white is an
admirable combination. A black taffetas skirt, or for
the slim follower of fashion to-day a satin of a soft
variety, even one of the Roman satins or other silk and
wool mixtures, packs as well and comes out as crease-
less as possible. If this be made in pinafore style, with
a dainty little guimpe and sleeves in white lace, or
embroidered net, or chiffon, with a few lines of silver
passementerie to brighten it, the effect is smart, and

A COOL SEA-SIDE FROCK.

The dress is in striped linen, trimmed with narrow band* of silk,
and with buttons ,nd loops of the same silk, the colour match¬
ing the dark stripe. The vest and underalceves are of lace.

yet as quiet as a refined woman wishes it to be
amongst strangers. Moreover, black-and-white amiably
allows of the addition of a touch of the colours that are
most becoming to the wearer. A neckband, or a big
loose bow at the bust, and a rosette or two of blue,
or orange, or cerise changes the effect of the black-
and-white gown, and enhances the whole appearance.

A refreshing addition to the travelling handbag and
the dressing-case is a bottle of the excellent “4711”
Eau-de-Cologne. Where it is to be found, a sense of
refreshment and coolness is always at command. It
is known at once by the blue-and-gold label, bearing
the number “4711,” and can be relied on as of in¬
variable good quality and pleasantness.

Loose mantles are quite a feature of the fashions.
The burnous style is popular, constructing a very
graceful garment in soft satin or in the silk and wool
fabrics that so well build the drapery of the Arab cloak.
Transparent cloaks and coats are a La mode; they are
of lace or embroidered net; they are obviously merely
ornamental, these loose garments, through which the
line of the figure is seen gracefully veiled. Very bright
colours are employed for the long, straight “restaurant
cloaks” that are suitable for evening or carriage wear
alike. This season would have been a riot of colour had
circumstances not interfered, and probably the goods
that have not sold this year will be brought forward
afresh in the spring, so that it is worth while buying any
special bargains in particularly dainty models to put by.
Amongst these may be counted the “ mantelet echarpe,”
as it is called; a very ample shoulder-scarf, slightly
shaped to the shoulders by a fold and stitch or two.
sometimes caught across also at the back, so as to
cover the figure of the wearer more completely than a
simple scarf, yet without losing the scarf idea or hiding
the waist. Scarves, two yards to three yards long, are
seen in satin edged with marabout ; in lace, finished
with deep fringe; in chiffon, edged with satin ; and in
satin, lined through with chiffon in a contrasting colour.
Many scarves are drawn in at the ends and finished off
there with heavy, long silk tassels. Scarves, in satin,
black outside, with a grey or pink or white lining, of
satin also, are elegant additions to the toilette and also
useful as a slight protection if the wind gets chill, and
such scarves will be worn until the autumn wraps are
required. Evening cloaks pure and simple follow the
long, graceful lines of their simpler cousins.

The proprietors of that excellent skin-tonic and anti¬
septic, Wright’s Coal-Tar Soap, have issued a series
of picture-poatcaids in colours with original verses,
entitled “The Story of Wan-Tang-Fee and the Little
Chinee,” and have also prepared a booklet with a dozen
delightful illustrations of amusing cats by Louis Wain,
and original verses. All these will be sent, free of
charge, to my readers if they just make the request,

The Pianola in Australia

T HIS photograph has lately been sent us by the manager of
our branch house in Australia. The purchaser of the Pianola
lives some 600 miles from Melbourne, and 300 miles from the
nearest railway station, and so it was necessary to resort to
transportation by camel.

“ In the interior of Australiawrites our manager,
“ the temperature runs up as high as 120 degrees in
the shade and from 170 to 180 degrees in the sun.
We have several instruments in such localities , some
having been there for the past sez>en or eight years.
During that time these instruments have never given
any trouble whatever. I can assure you that if the
construction of the Pianola was in the slightest degree
defective , it would be literally impossible to keep
the instrument in order in such a country as this.”

It is significant that the Pianola has practically the Australian
field to itself. The Pianola is to be found in almost every country
of the world, bringing to the occupants of countless homes the
immense fascination of being able to play for themselves all the
music they desire.

Why don’t you have a Pianola in your home ?

XAL ECZEMA

obstinate case cured
every skin illness

Please note that the only remedy that
:an thus be depended upon to effect a
genuine cure is Antexema, and the reason
or its extraordinary success is that it is
purely" scientific. Antexema was discovered
by a well-known doctor as the result of
his investigations as to the cause and
treatment of skin ailments. The mar¬
vellous results that have followed the use
of Antexema are almost incredible. Former
sufferers are continually" writing to say
they have been cured after suffering for
many years. To quote one such letter
from the thousands received, Mrs. N. K., of
Glasgow (address on application), writes:—-

“ I must thank you for Antexema. which has entirely cured
eczema on my little girl's face, which she had had for five
years. I tried nearly every so-called cure without effect, but
1 am glad to say there is not a spot left since 1 used Antexema.”

Why Antexema Cures

Antexema is not an ointment, and it
does not clog the pores like an ointment,
neither does it disfigure the user if applied
to the face, neck, or hands. It is a creamy
liquid, possessing great antiseptic and germ-
destroying power, and it exerts extraordinary
curative influence. As soon as it is applied
to the affected part it dries over it and
forms an artificial and invisible skin which
renders it impossible for dirt, dust, grit, or
germs to enter. It at once begins to cure
you. All smarting and irritation stops as
soon as Antexema is applied, and gradually
the diseased skin is replaced by new,
healthy, and spotless skin.

The following are some of the troubles
cured by Antexema: Abscess, acne, angry-
looking pimples, bad legs, baby rashes,
barber’s rash, blackheads, blotches, break-
ings-out, chafed skin, cracked skin, eczema
of every kind,

W herpes, inflamed

patches, nettle-

I *■ ■’gCj shaving rash,

\ shingles, skin

. irritation, sores,

Antexema cleats the complexion of black- * !

heads, spots, pimples, and eruptions. tender Skin, and

teething rash. Information in regard to
these skin troubles will be found in the
family handbook “ Skin Troubles,” enclosed
with every bottle of Antexema together
with valuable advice as to diet, habits of
life, and other important points.

Always use Antexema as soon as the
skin becomes red, rough, or irritated, and
serious skin complaints will thus be
avoided. Keep a bottle ready for use.

Every chemist, pharmacist, and store, including Boot's,
Taylor’s, Lewis and Burrow’s, Army and Navy Stores,
Civil Service Stores, and every cash chemist supplies
Antexema in regular shilling bottles, or direct, post free,
in plain wrapper for is. 3d. from the Antexema Company,

where in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa.

A hundred years ago or so Nelson, the hero, had con¬
quered the French at sea. In the present year of grace
another sort of Nelsons, who are publishers, are, in their
wav, conquering the French on land: at the bookstalls
and in the train. They are now doing for French classics
what they have done—and are continuing to do, pf
course—with such eminent success for English classics :
reproducing popular works in eminently readable format
and type, at popular prices—1 franc 25 centimes the
volume. One has only to take a railway journey in
France to see almost everybody buying or reading the
neatly turned-out little volumes, so handy of size, and of
the clearest print. Four of this year’s batch of volumes,
just issued, are these : Alphonse Daudet’s “ Lettres de
mon Moulin ” ; Balzac’s “ La Peau de Chagrin,” Count
de S£gur’s “ La Campagne de Russie,” and St. Francis
of Sales’ “ Introduction a la Vie Devote.” Edmond
Ahout’s “ Les Manages de Paris,” Tolstoy’s “Anna
Kar6nine,” Maurice Maeterlinck’s “ Morceaux Choisis.”
and Andrew Lang’s “ La Pucelle de France ” are among
other masterpieces of the “Collection Nelson ” for 1910.

Apollinaris water continues to make progress well,
tlie sales for the past year showing an increase of one and
a half million bottles, and the net profits of the company
an advance of from £124,800 to £134,500. A further
addition is to be made to the bottle-factory plant, and it
is hoped by the end of this year that the company will be
able to manufacture all its own bottles.

A fascinating array of fairy-stories, all admirably
told, makes up Enys Tregarthen’s new book, “The
House of the Sleeping Winds,” published by Messrs.
Rebman, Limited. The first tale of the set gives its
title to the book, which is brightly and cheerily written,
is full of gay and sprightly fancies cleverly interwoven,
and all through there breathes a pure, wholesome spirit
that should ensure for it a widespread popularity as a
prime favourite on the young people’s bookshelf. And
their elders also will enjoy it. The tales are mostly
founded on some of the quaint, half-forgotten country¬
side folk-lore legends of the old-time Cornish rustics—a
race in many ways, as a people, apart from the everyday
world, and of romantic imagination, due, in the main, no
doubt, to their Celtic origin. The twenty-seven illustra¬
tions by Miss Nannie Preston add to the charm of a
dainty gift-book.

A good suggestion for some of our numerous bazaars which take place during August is afforded by this Illustration of a scene at a similar function in France. T his particular haziar was held
at Bagnolet. a pretty place in the suburbs of Paris, which is trying to regain the popularity it enjoyed during the reign of Louis Philippe, at the time of the songs of Beranger and ol Alfred
de Musset's "Mimi Pinson.” On the occasion illustrated here some Parisian ** midinetres” had come to take part in a fried-potato competition. Their cooking-stoves were set up outside a
large striped red and white tent, and the jury, which consisted of a fat and jovial "chef” and two solemn gentlemen in irreproachable top-hats, tasted, reflected, consulted one another, took
notest and at last, like wise men, declared that the results were all so good that it was impossible to decide which was best.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, July 30, 1910.-I6Q

S OMEBODY remarks in a newspaper that there is
an epidemic of murders. It is an instance of the
morbid modern fondness for words that express fatality.
I should not regard myself as any more likely to mur¬
der the station-master at Beaconsfield because there
were an increasing number of crimes in South Bucks.
I do not expect it any more than 1 expect to commit
bigamy through smelling a bigamist’s tulips, or bribery
through borrowing a politician’s umbrella. I am sure
I could safely use a Levantine usurer’s soap, if he
has any; I am sure that if I rubbed against a pick¬
pocket in a crowd I should take nothing from him,
whatever he might take from me. In short, “ an epi¬
demic of murder” is as silly and slavish a phrase as “a
plague of priggishness ” or “ a pestilence of equivoca¬
tion ” ; we might as well speak of superciliousness raging
in all the hospitals of
Swansea, or of whole
populations struck
down raving with
stinginess. In ninety-
nine cases out of a
hundred there must
be a moral reason
for an immoral act.

Murder is a private
matter—at least, un¬
til it is committed.

But the eager use
of such devastating
scientific terms is
but a part of our
evasion of responsi¬
bility and our dark
adoration of fate. In
politics, where a man
ought to be specially
free and firm in
judgment, we are
specially pestered
with these dreams of
doom, these dead
analogies from dust
and ocean, earth¬
quake and eclipse.

If sixty rational and
respectable citizens
choose to vote Tory,
it is called the Flow¬
ing Tide. If the
sixty rational citizens
decide to vote
Radical, it is called
the Swing of the
Pendulum. One witty
candidate, menaced
with the flowing tide
by his opponent,
pasted up a notice :

“ Vote for Smith and
Dam the Flowing Tide.” Similarly, I should say with
decision, Vote for whom you choose and hang
the pendulum.”

That a number of murders might be due to some
legal inefficiency or loosening of the discipline of a
nation is more plausible. I know more than one in¬
telligent person who thinks that the police at present
have no time to seize assassins because they are so
busy seizing boys’ cigarettes, arresting little girls for
drinking lemonade in hotels, seeing that Tommy does
not lick his coloured chalks in the nursery, seeing that
the baby is put to bed at the right hour, and all such
constabulary labours and perils. I have not the text
of the Children’s Bill by me, but mv list will be
roughly correct. Nevertheless, I cannot think that
our constabulary throws itself into the problems of
the nursery with quite such all-forgetting enthusiasm
as Mr. Herbert Samuel doubtless intended it to do.
Those long conversations which can sometimes be ob¬
served in progress between policemen and nurses
may be wholly concerned with educational and

psychological points of difficulty ; but these conversations
are the only form of nursery interest that I have ever
seen the constable display. His interest in the chil¬
dren is, to say the least of it, indirect ; and I am
quite sure that any healthy-minded policeman would
be happier holding a murderer than holding a baby.
Therefore, I think this other theory that the policial
intellect has turned from the subject of murder to the
more absorbing subject of education must also be
given up.

But the true and clinching consideration which
proves that crimes can be part of no mere drift or doom
is the abrupt, individual, and sometimes quite inconceiv¬
able oddities that occur in them. All the murders are
alike in so far that they ultimately murder ; that violent

death is their upshot. But in their origin and idea
they are as different as any two or three eccentricities
can be ; as different as a man shooting giraffes from
a man collecting tram-tickets, as different as a vege¬
tarian iu a restaurant from a saint in a cave. For
here indeed is one of the most obvious of the four or
five fallacies upon which the towering fabric of popular
science is reared. I mean the application of modes of
reckoning proper to uniform facts to facts that are in
their nature miscellaneous. Or, in other words, count¬
ing things together because they are alike in their
effect, as if they were alike in their cause. If we are
dealing with hailstones (let us say) it is reasonably
adequate simply to count the hailstones—if you can ;
I am told it is difficult. But if it can be said by a
scientist with his hand on his heart that only three
hailstones (or more probably, three and a half) have
fallen at Bournemouth since the year 1066, then we
shall not be far wrong in calling Bournemouth a safe
place from hail. But if instead of asking how many
hailstones have fallen we ask how many stones have
fallen, then the case is quite different. Hailstones

not only all go to the same place ; they also all come
from the same place. It always hails for the same
reason, whatever it is. If each individual hailstone
has a motive it is probably a tribal motive.

But if it were reported on equally good authoritv
that only three and a half stones had fallen in Bourne¬
mouth, the generalisation would involve a fallacy, for
there need be no real similarity in the cases. The
first stone might be thrown by an invalid into the sea;
the second stone might be thrown by a healthy boy
through a window; the third might be hurled with
murderous intent by a mad politician interested in the
extension of the franchise. As for the half stone left over,
I suppose that would be thrown by a moderate politician,
on our old principle that half a stone is better than no
slaughter; it might
be called the Con¬
ciliation Stone. But
the point is tlm:
that the invalid, the
schoolboy, and the
fanatic have not
enough in common
to constitute any
general rule at all
about the falling or
non-falling of stones
They all play with
pebbles for vaiiou.s
reasons and at differ-
ferent times. The
schoolboy (bein K
without sin) will pro¬
bably cast the first
stone, in the course
of some early -morn-
.ng ramble ; the in¬
valid is more likely
to be inspired to fling
one feeble pebble in
the splendour of the
setting sun ; while
the political idealist
may very probably
wait till darkness,
because his deeds
are evil. But even
this matter of time
is very vague ; states¬
men, seas, and win¬
dows are cockshies
at all times of the
day and night. There
might he these pe-
trobolous types, or
there might be none
of them, or there
might be many other
types. Bournemouth
might proudly entertain a gentleman who dropped
rocks on his own feet by way of penance, or a gentle¬
man who dropped them on other people’s heads out
of misanthropy ; or a gentleman who habitually, when
he went for a walk, dropped peebles in a trail behind
him, like Hansel and Gretel, for fear he should lose
his way. All these ordinary human varieties would
enrich and complicate the question of the falling stones;
and merely to count the number of stones that had
fallen in one year would be almost useless, since we
should have no guide or law to explain the outbursts and
cessations of stones. In short, wherever we have a
problem of few cases and various causes, it is very'
hard to make anything of it. Now, murders are
peculiarly a matter of few cases and various causes.
So very few of us ever get murdered at all, even when
we deserve it, that there are no data sufficient for a
synthesis. And then, even if we are murdered, re¬
member what a large number of reasons there might
be for murdering us. Even as you read this article
six persons are perhaps plotting your end; and all lor
entirely different, yet quite convincing reasons.

SAND CASTLES IN SPAIN : THE PRINCE OF THE ASTURIAS DIGGING ON THE BEACH AT SAN SEBASTIAN.
This charming photograph of the King of Spain's children playing on the beach at San Sebastian shows that the tastes of juvenile royalties are very
much the same as those of their less exalted neighbours. The little Prince of the Asturias is digging away at his sand castle with a vigour that

argues well for the Spanish succession. The fact that a soldier is helping him should ensure the structure being of a proper military character.

Prince Alphonse was born at Madrid on May 10, 1907. His brother, Don Jaime, was bom on June 23, 1908, and his little sister Beatriz on June 22, 1909.

An everyday sight in all naval ports is that of officers of rank, such as Admirals and Captains, when on shore on duty, walking followed by their coxswains, who carry a waterproof or boat
cloak as much for use on emergency as a mark or badge of office. At Portsmouth last week, when Admiral-of-the-Fleet King George made his round of visits to Whale Island and Haslar,

photographs of the new “ sub¬
marine helmet” and of the “air¬
lock,” a conjoint device to avert
loss of life in submarines in
future, and to enable a crew to
come in safety to the surface in
case of accident. The former is
a self-contained diving helmet
and jacket; the latter an air¬
tight section built from the side
of a submarine, in which the air
is trapped as the water fills the
interior of the vessel’s hull. Two
of these “air-locks” are now
built as part of the permanent
structure of every submarine, and
are being added in all the other
vessels. The helmets (which pack
in a small space) are kept hung
inside the “air-locks,” with seats
for the crew to use while adjust¬
ing the fitting of the gear. Incase
of an accident, the crew would
make for the “air-locks,” and
having put on the jackets and hel¬
mets (a matter of half a minute),
would be ready to escape by the
torpedo-hatch of their sunken ship
as soon as it was ascertained that
the pressure of the water out¬
side was the same as that in¬
side ; that the sunken vessel
had been completely flooded, and
all the air displaced by the in¬
rush of water. Once clear of
the sunken boat, the air in the helmet carries the

Mr. Bonar Law. Discussion on the Civil List was
comparatively brief, and except for a few harsh phrases
from Mr. Barnes and Mr. Keir
Hardie, who did not command
a full vote even of their own
fiiends, it proved remarkably
temperate. Only a few colour¬
less criticisms were uttered by
Liberals. The minority which
demanded a reduction of the
Civil List amounted to only 26,
two-thirds of whom were Labour
Members, and the Resolutions
were finally carried by 197 to
19. As a party, the Nationalists
abstained from any share in the
settlement or in the controversy,
neither speaking nor voting.
And when the Resolutions came
before the House on Report not
a single voice was raised in
protest, and no division was
challenged by any section. The
disinclination of the allies of the
Government to risk the fate of
the Administration in existing
circumstances was shown when
Lord Castlereagh moved the re¬
duction of the tea duty. Although
this reduction has been advocated
by Nationalists and Labourists,
yet, for fear of placing the Minis¬

sixteen Admirals were engaged, and 160 odd ships,
the ships being divided into two opposing fleets—the
“ Red ” in three squuhois, each commanded in chief
by Sir \V. May, Sir A. Milne, and Rear-Admiral Jerram,
and the “ Blue ” in two_
squadrons, commanded
by Sir Edmund PoS and
Prince Louis of Batten-
berg. It is certainly a
pity that the problem of
this year’s great naval
war-game was from first
to last kept a secret by
the Admiralty. In con
sequence, less interest
than usual has been
taken in the manceuvres
by the general public,
and it is even now not
clear which side won in
the end, while the ac¬
counts of the final en¬
counter off the Bristol
Channel of the principal
squadrons of the fleet
are vague, and differ in
essentials hopelessly.

All that can be said for
certain is that there
was a fight. One re¬
markable new departure
there was, however, this
year in connection with
the naval manoeuvres

of the helmet and admit fresh air. At the same time,
in case of delay below, the helmet contains a case con¬
taining a chemical mixture, which, when breathed on,
generates oxygen, and at the same time purifies and

with a dummy skeleton submarine at the bottom. Over
the tank is a movable “ air-lock ” (as shown in our
Illustration), in which men are lowered to the bottom
of the tank. They are taught to adjust the helmet and
jacket in the “ air-lock”
and work the oxygen
supply, and then, at the
bottom (with 12 - lb.
weights attached to the
d ess) they enter the
dummy submarine,
clamber about it, and
practise escaping from
it by the hatchway door,
exactly as might be ex¬
pected to be the case
in an accident. The
helmet can also be used
as a smoke-helmet on
emergency, and is used
for diving - work in
shallow water to recover
lost tackle, to clear
fouled propellers, and
so forth.

“DECLARING HIS MAJESTY’S PLEASURE TOUCHING HIS ROYAL CORONATION” 1 GARTER KING OF ARMS READING
THE PROCLAMATION AT ST. JAMES'S PALACE.

With all due ceremony, the Proclamation fixing the time of the Coronation of King George and Queen Mary for next June was made in London last week.
At St. James’s Palace the Proclamation was read by Garter King of Arms, Sir Alfred Scott-Gatty, and at Charing Cross, Temple Bar, and the Royal
Exchange, by the heralds. The Duke of Norfolk (the Earl Marshal) is next but one to Sir Alfred (on the left in the photograph).

Parliament.

Although unofficial—and perhaps not ex
actly favoured at the War Office—it is yet a matter incident¬
ally of national, if not indeed of imperial, interest. Lord
Kitchener followed the manoeuvres all through, as a
spectator and private guest, embarking on board the
first-class cruiser Drake ,flagship of Rear-Admiral F. T
Hamilton. It is the first time that any of our military
officers of high position has done such a thing,
although in Germany it is often done for the benefit
of rlie instruction so received. In a campaign where
fleet and army were co-operating, it might be useful
to a general to know something of naval tactics.

The sum¬
mer sit¬
tings of an amazing
session, which has been
marked by striking
vicissitudes, are draw¬
ing to a close with interesting incidents. One of the most
notable and novel features of the final days has been
Mr. Churchill’s scheme of prison reform — a scheme which
hows boldness of conception, and which will evidently
produce sharp controversy. Another feature has been
the prominence given by the official Opposition to
“ the great policy of Colonial Preference.” Mr.
Balfour placed it by a significant speech in a very
conspicuous place in the programme of his party,
and while the Prime Minister’s attitude to it re¬
mained as hostile as ever, it was earnestly champ¬
ioned at a second debate by Mr. Lyttelton and

WIRELESS MESSAGES BEFORE THE DISCOVERY OF THE HERZIAN WAVES: COMMUNICATING OVER A DISTANCE OF SEVEN MILES

BY A CODE OF SOUNDS.

The gong used by the Batctela for sending messages is first cut out from one large solid piece of bard wood. It is then hollowed out. the whole of the interior being removed through
the long opening at the top. The hollow inside follows the outer shape. The sticks used to beat the gong have at their ends a knob of rubber. To send a message, the beater of the gong
will ascend a hill in the evening. The sound of the drum, very rough when near by. is quite beautiful music at a distance. I have tried the abilities of these drummers by having a
message drummed to a village six miles distant asking the chief to “send me the arrow he showed me the evening before; not the one with an iron tip. but the one with the twisted
leather*.** The arrow arrived in less than an hour. This geng, a solid block of wood, gives three sounds on each side, according to where it is beaten. The six sounds so obtained are
used to form a syllabic alphabet, which permits them to transmit messages, however complicated they be. The sound carries about seven miles

SIR CLAUDE C. DE CRESPIGNY,

Other Days,” by the
Rev. H. N. Hutch¬
inson, B.A., etc. (Chapman and Hall), should find ready
acceptance. The general reader has no time or training to
deal with microscopic evidence; but he can appreciate what
a huge Dinosaur was when he stands face to face with its
skeleton or its reproduction. When lie visits the museums
and sees the skeletons of the gigantic fish lizards, the
Id/ fiwsauri and the Plesiosauri, or the reproduction of
ihe Pterodactyls , he can appreciate what extinct life means,
and form some adequate notion of life’s development in the
•eons of ilie past. The very name “ fossil ’* is one to conjure
with in respect of the
interesting nature of all
finds connected with
life’s relics preserved to
us in the earth’s crust.
The pity of it all is that
we find so few traces,
relatively speaking, of
the abundant life which
characterised certain
epochs of the past. We
are only now beginning
to appreciate some¬
thing, for example, of
the vast stores of rep¬
tilian remains
which the Meso¬
zoic or “Middle”
period of geology
offers to view ;
yer, as Darwin
said, the geologi¬
cal record, de¬
spite all our know¬
ledge of life in
the past, must
always remain of
incomplete char¬
acter. This in-
c o mpleten ess
may be due to
other causes than
these represented
by man’s inability
to unearth fossil
remains. Forcer-
tain kinds of
animals, from
their very habits,
were not likely to
leave many traces
behind them on
the earth’s crust.

Birds and in¬
sects, for ex¬
ample, are poorly

represented in the record. Their bodies have little
chance of sinking into lake and sea deposits, and of
so becoming fossilised, for birds and
insects are very full of air, and so
tend to float after death in place of
sinking. Animals and plants, again,
with hard parts—teeth, bones, scales,
and the like—are those which present
i he most favourable subjects for pre¬
servation ; and shells and corals also
illustrate what hardness implies in the
making of the fossil world. But some¬
times the hazard of chance falsifies
all our predictions. A jelly-fish is
mostly water, and it would be regarded
as the most unlikely animal to leave
any trace of its existence in a fossil
sense, yet the impressions of these
delicate creatures have been met with
in rocks which in their early history
represented the soft mud of some
ancient sea. In the same way we get
footprints of animals duly impressed
on “ the sands of time.” Armed with
such a book as that under notice, the
ordinary reader should develop a taste
for archaeology (from a biological
standpoint) such as may form a means
of culture of exceeding value. Mr.

Hutchinson’s book has been long be¬
fore the public, in company with an¬
other volume which also deals with ex¬
tinct animals. The whole subject is
fascinating—surely more so than the
pursuit of an ancient vase or a far-
back coin. Even the history of the

The Charlton Hunt.

The Earl of March has
made a very
valuable addition
to the history of
sport in England,
in his “ Records
of the Old Charl¬
ton Hunt ” (Elkin
Mathews). From
the days of Wil¬
liam III. down
to those of
George II. the
little Sussex vil¬
lage held in the
world of fox¬
hunting a posi¬
tion exactly com¬
parable with that
held by Melton
Mowbray at the
present day:

Charlton was the
metropolis of the
sport when fox¬
hunting was in its
infancy; royally
went thither to
hunt with the
Duke of Rich¬
mond, and when
foreign visitors of

distinction wished to bear part in fox-hunting, it was to
Charlton they were taken. Hence the Earl’s discovery
at Goodwood of old letters and papers
relating to the Charlton Hunt is one of
exceptional interest ; and, let us say at
once, he has turned his booty to very ex¬
cellent account, having compiled there¬
from a work which affords not only a
curiously vivid picture of fox-hunting in
its robust infancy, but of the social life
of the period. The principal features
of the book are the anonymous poem
which, as the Duke of Richmond re¬
corded, “ was brought me by a Porter
in the beginning of February 1737.”
which poem recounts the circumstances
under which the hunt was established
by the Duke and the Earl of Tanker-
ville in 1729; the Proceedings of the
Hunt Club—a very exclusive body in¬
deed—at various meetings ; extracts
from the Duke’s hunting diaries be¬
tween 1737 and 1745 ; and letters fioin
brother sportsmen. The diaries and the
letters contain the cream of the book ;
the Earl has wisely retained the archaic
spelling and phraseology, and we get
the full flavour of the terse, graphic,
often ironical and drily humorous, re¬
cord kept by this the leading master of
hounds in his day. Incidentally, we
obtain sidelights upon spoit in other
parts of the country. Unique material
has fallen into very capable bands, and
the book is of very unusual interest to
hunting-men and students of social life.

MONSTERS OF THE PAST: CREATURES THAT INHABITED THE EARTH IN PREHISTORIC AGES

Sea. air. and land had each its own monsters, as these typical creatures depicted here show. The long-necked sea-lizard was'amphibious at times: apparently it was a marine development of a
land reptile. It was a creature 22 feet long, but less than half the size of the other sea - monster shown in the act of swallowing a fish, the Tylosaurus. which was 40 feet long, as big a „ a
railway carriage. In the air was the giant Pterodactyl. 18 feet from wing to wing, “scar ng lik«. a giant petrel over the surface of the ocean.” and living on fish. The group of reptilea and
amphibian of the New Red Sandstone period we see. the Rhyncosaurus. Mastodonsaurus. Hyperodapedon, and Telerpeton, were a race of reptiles that “formerly exited in South Africa, probably
in a great lake or inland sea.“ according to Professor Owen. The Dinosaurs were the great beasts of the land. Some species were carnivorous, but the greater number were herbivorous. One
of our Illustrations shows the biggest known specimen, which was 84 feet from snout to tail, and 30 feet high. They flourished during the New Red Sandstone period, aod represent the

hugest beings that were ever seen on land or in air or sea.

Garden gave
us its one

y novelty of the season, Raoul Laparra’s lyric drama,
“ La Habanera,*' and there have been
some protests and complaints because the
story is sombre and the music filled with the
spirit of melancholy. But Laparra comes
from the Basque provinces, and those who
know Spain would not think of looking in
the shadow of the Pyrenees for the mirth and
jollity of the South; such emotions have little
or no existence there. All Spain is regional,
and the characteristic of the Basque pro¬
vinces and the Asturias is such a melancholy
as London does not know on a foggy Novem¬
ber day file question is whether Laparra’s
work conforms faithfully to the standard that
a Basque composer who is true to himself
must follow. 'flie writer, having listened to
the music of Spain, from the Pyrenees to the
Bay of Cadiz, and from Barcelona to Castello
Branco, has no hesitation in declaring that
Laparra’s score is a faithful reflection of the
Basque spirit in music. The mood is of
Northern Spain, but the expression has been
strengthened and made more facile by the
composer’s study in France. That “ La Ha¬
banera” may fail to please London is possible,
for we know little or nothing here of the
musical genius of the Iberian peninsula, and
our musical palate has been cloyed by French
and Italian sweets.

ecent years is Mr. Edward Milton Hoyle’s
“ romance of the West,” as he terms it, “A
White Man,” originally produced at the
Lvric Theatre in January iqo8. An obvious
melodrama, turning on an act of extrava¬
gant self - sacrifice, but providing most
piquant pictures of life in pioneer settle¬
ments, the piece has a good story to tell, and
can boast exciting incidents and a poign¬
ant love-interest, as well as picturesqueness
of setting. It is difficult, of course, to believe
that even for the most pressing reasons a man
like Jim Carston would consent to be the
scapegoat of another’s wrong-doing, and
punish himself with exile and loss ot repu¬
tation. On the other hand, thanks to racy
dialogue and deft stage-management, the local
atmosphere of the West is so happily sug¬
gested that such a scene as that of the
drinking - saloon at Maderick seems taken
straight from life.

Here, then, was a play well worth
reviving, and success should attend Mr.
Herbert Sleath’s efforts at the Lyceum.
Mr. Sleath himself is the only member of the
original cast taking part in the revival, and
he plays now the part of the hero instead
of that of the guilty peer. If his per¬
formance is perceptibly inferior to Mr. Lewis
Waller’s, if he lacks ihe breadth of style
and personal magnetism which his prede¬
cessor possesses, nevertheless, in a quieter
and less vigorous way, he is effective and
pleasing. Among Mr. Sleath’s supporters
are a trio of actors who have made a
name for themselves lately at the Lyceum—-
Mr. Eric Mayne, Mr. Major Jones, and
Mr. Frederick Ross. These all do well ;
while among the ladies of the company
are Miss Georgina Winter, rather conventional as the
heroine, and Miss Violet Vorley, who makes the most
of the pathos of the Indian girl Nat-u-rich’s situation.

ANDREW LANG ON THE SOURCE OF
“A WOMAN IN WHITE"

GIOVANNI BRANCA'S STEAM-ENGINE (1629). THE SIMPLEST
FORM OF TURBINE.

(From ihii Exhibit in the Victoria and Albert Museum.]

In its first form, the turbine is like a water-wheel, a jet of steam
taking the place of water. Giovanni Branca, an Italian engineer, sug-
"-ited much the same thing in a book of labour-saving devices called
“La Machine.” It showed the steam being raised in a vessel shaped
like a man’s head.

THE “BRITANNIA,” THE FIRST ATLANTIC LINER (1840).

From a Model, by permission of the Cunard steamship Company.
The “Britannia’s” measurements were i—207 ft. long, 34 it. 4 in. wide,
and 22 ft. 6 in. deep, with a tonnage of 1154. Her paddle - wheels were
28 ft. in diameter and had 21 floats. Steam was generated in four
boilers with twelve furnaces. She took eleven days four hours to cross
from Liverpool to Halifax, N.S.

forgetting all about it long before the final number. Now
our novelists “jine their flats,” even if they do not give
us grammar.

But my remarks “ seek digressions.” as Herodotus
justly says about his own historical work.

My point is this : shortly before re-reading “ The

Woman in White,” I read pa.c of a story in the French
Causes Cilbbres. Part of it only I read—for the case was
very long, and I looked at the end, to see “what became
of them all.” Nothing became of them ! The case was
never decided. The events occurred a year or two before
1789; and, in 1832, the Courts had come to no decision—
and there the wearied reporter laid down his pen.

HERO'S STEAM APPARATUS (130 B.C.).

From the Exhibit in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Hero of Alexandria first discovered the properties of steam. In his
treatise on “Pneumatics," written in 130 B.C., he described a light ball
supported by a jet of steam and also referred to the “aeolipilc, a hollow
ball mounted on its axis between two pivots, one of which acted a*
a steam pipe. By the escape of the steam from the Jets the ball was
made to revolve.”

H AS anyone, under the age of fifty, read Wilkie Collins’s
novel, “The Woman in White ” ? Alas, I am old
enough to have read it, as a boy, when it appeared, in All
the Year Hound, I think, and the general public was
moved, the boom was sonorous (though the term “ boom ”
was unknown). Like the professors of Islam, in Thacke¬
ray’s poem on the tempest, I “thought but little of it.”

It was a boom, and Frederick Walker designed a
consummate “poster” of a Woman in White when the
novel was dramatised—by whom I know not.

A few years ago, in wet weather, and in a Highland
inn, 1 read the novel again ; it was no better than it had
been, to my tnind. Mr. Swinburne, to be sure, expressed
high admiration of the romance ; but he probably read
it in his youth, and he never stinted his admiration, or
the opposite emotion. He praised Wilkie Collins as
enthusiastically as he did the precise reverse to Byron—
as poet and as man.

Now, by some chance, I have read the novel again,
and, bar the mannerisms and such unessential things as
the clairvoyant vision of Marion Halcombe, I like it much
better than I did. Nothing is gained, as far as I see, by
Miss Halcombe’s clairvoyance (which, as R. L. S. said
about children, “ is too
good to be true”), for the
reader is not seriously con¬
cerned about the hero, Mr.

Walter Hartright, drawing-
master. He is exploring
the cities, the mysterious
Maya cities, of Yucatan,
but the experienced novel-
reader is not anxious about
him. The hero bears a
charmed life, and mos¬
quitoes are the chief peril
in Yucatan.

The clairvoyance is
superfluous, like Pip’s mys¬
terious vision of Miss
Havisham, hung up by the
neck in the deserted brew¬
ery (in “Great Expecta¬
tions”). 1 hat expectation
was never lulfillcd. Why
did Dickens put it in ?

Why, having put it in, did
he not cut it out ? The
mid - Victorian novelists
were reckless people. They
“lisped in numbers” (like
Mr. Pope), meaning some¬
thing at the time, but

But I venture to guess that Wilkie Collins ^ JJ
drew his inspiration from that French legal case,

It may be remembered (if not, any reader can
take the novel and verify the facts—see “'The Third
Epoch: The Story Continued by Walter Hartrigh’”

that Lady Clyde falls into the hands of Count Fosco.
She is drugged ; she, later, believes that she has
been in places where she never was ; then comes “a
total blank” in her memory; and her recollections
begin again in a lunatic asylum, where she is told
that she is Anne Catherick, “the Woman in While,”
a person of weak mind.

Now, that is precisely the plot of my French Cause
Ctllbbre. A lady of rank and fortune, with a brother
destitute of means and scruples (by her account), takes
a pinch of snuff from the box of a fashionable person ;
thenceforth she remembers things that did not occur;
and she comes to her clear mind in a lunatic asylum,
where she is told that she is Mme. So-and-So—a notori¬
ously loose character.

The lady’s death is legally established, like that of
Lady Glyde in the novel. Her tomb (like Lad}' GlydeV
is “alive to testify to it”—to her demise. Her brother
(like Sir Percival Glyde in the novel) collars her wealth.

She escapes (like Lady Glyde) from the asylum, and
tries to prove her iden¬
tity. But her statements
(again like Lady GlydeV
as to what happened
“are dim, vague, and un¬
reliable,” as Wilkie Collins
also says.

The Revolution occurs;
her witnesses are guillo¬
tined oryanish, and though
she struggles to prove her
identity through the Napo¬
leonic period, the Restora¬
tion, the next Revolution
of 1830, and so on. the
Courts can never decide
whether this unhappy
French lady is herself or
whether she is the oiher
person of loose character.

Wilkie Collins, in the
novel, shows that he knew
well how impossible it was
for Lady Glyde to prove
her identity. I think he
had read that Cause
Celebre (“and what for
no?”) yet there may be a
mere chance coincidence.

THE HEAVIEST BROADSIDE EVER FIRED BY A . BATTLESHIP: 901

The most dramatic incident of the gun-firing trials of the new Brazilian battleships. " Minas Geraes” and "San Paulo." was the firing of an entire broadside simultaneously,
making a terrific discharge, the heaviest broadside ever fired, and an event unparalleled in the history of ballistics. The five turrets of the ship were all trained
on the port beam, all the ten guns being given an elevation of seven degrees and loaded wish a full charge of 285 lb. of cordite. The ten 12-inch guns, monster
weapons fifty feet long, each discharged a shell of 850 lb. weight, making a total of 8500 lb. "weight of metal." At the same time were fired the eleven 4'7 guns

amounting to 8995 lb.—a record discharge of destructive projectiles. These vessels mount, as light guns in addition, six 3-pounders on each broadside, which, fired

SCIENCE JOTTINGS,

THE REPAIRS OF LIFE.

A POINT was raised in connection
with the course and development
of a fever noted recently in an article
i this page, on the acquirement of
immunity from infectious disease, in the
shape of the query, why should a fever
ever come to an end at all, save that
represented by the exhaustion of the
living soil in which the germs grow
and multiply? It was shown, however,
that a natural termination to germ-development
is provided for in the shape of the anti-toxin
bodies which microbes produce. If they repre¬
sent the bane, they also in a very distinct sense
supply the antidote. Now this consideration
suggests that one of the most characteristic
phases of vital action, allied to that of life’s
defences against infection, is the property of
repair, if so one may term it. I mean to in¬
dicate the repair of injuries, accidents, and
lesions at large, as distinct from that process
of making good the constant loss both of tissue
and of energy such as is inseparable from the
ways of existence everywhere. We are con¬
tinually developing and expending energy which
has to be replaced from the food we con¬
sume. Similarly, our tissues wear out, new
cells have to be developed to replace the old,
and such loss of substance requires repair
equally wiih loss of power. This is why from
birth to death we have to bethink ourselves
about our daily bread. Even the body of the
greatest idler that ever lived is a machine
constantly at work, constantly subjected to
wear-and-tear, and therefore continually needing
food. The political economist might deny the
idler’s right to eat because he does not work ;
the physiologist would affirm, at least, the
necessity of
food for the
loafer because
his bodily work
is unceasing.

A LAVA FIELD IN SAVAII.

Savaii Is the largest of the Samoan Islands, in one of which, Upolu, R. L. Stevenson
spent the latter years of his life. The lava was caused by the eruption of the volcano
Matavanu. The men in the photograph were working for Dr. Tempest Anderson, who
took the photographs.

The repnr-
ative side of
life includes,
however, the
making good
of losses
which injury
inflicts on the
body. Doubt¬
less, this
power of re¬
pair is rpally
a reflection
of the great
general law
of making up
our daily and
hourly losses
due to bodily
work, but it
represents, all
the same, a
special pro¬
vision against
the possibility of serious or permanent de¬
struction and of premature extinction itself.
The capacity for repair varies greatly in
different groups of animals. In plants, prun¬
ing, cutting down redundant growth, is speedily
rectified and adjusted, because the plant-
tissues, less sensitive than those of animals,
more readily respond to the reparative calls
made upon them. Again, the very mode of
growth of plants lends itself throughout to a
making good of natural and artificial loss
without involving any great expenditure of toil
and trouble. As a rule, the lower we pro¬
ceed in the animal world the more facile are
the reparative qualities found to be repre¬
sented. A lowly animalcule divided in two
not only survives the operation, but each
half proceeds at once to constitute of and
by itself a new being. A process of division
of this kind is naturally represented in lower
existence. We can see the animalcules
becoming constricted in shape ; then the
division deepens, and, finally, the separated
halves swim away, each to begin life on its
own account.

Higher in the scale, we meet with powers
of repair such as are positively astonishing

has long enjoyed a high re¬
putation for resisting the effects
of artificial mutilation. Here
we have a simple tubular body
attached by one extremity to a
water - weed, and possessing at
the other a mouth surrounded
by tentacles. There are but the
faintest indications of nervous
elements in this lowly frame, a
fact which, primarily, serves to show us that
pain and shock are unrepresented quantities
in hydra-life. Trembley, of Geneva, in the
eighteenth century, showed that a hydra,
divided transversely, developed a new mouiii
and tentacles at the line of incision, and
that two individuals could thus be produced,
as in the gardener’s process of taking slips.
Trembley even succeeded in turning hydras
inside out, like the fingers of a glove, and
certain of these everted beings remained in
this condition, accommodating themselves at
once to the exigencies of the new state.
Such a proceeding, of course, could only
be possible in the case of an animal of
the simple tubular structure illustrated by
the hydra.

Crabs and lobsters, creatures of fairly
high organisation, can reproduce lost claws
and other of the appendages with which
their bodies are abundantly provided. Among
the newts, legs and tails are seen to be
capable of replacement. The star-fishes,
lower much than the crabs, are highly in¬
teresting from the point of view of their re¬
parative qualities. You may often pick up
a five-raved starfish on the beach-=with three
or four of its rays a-wanting, possibly de¬
voured by
some hungry
fish, but you
can see the
new r a y s
sprouting,and
only demand¬
ing time in
order that
the ancient
perfection of
body may be
exe m pi ified.
It would seem
ihnt in the
highest life
of all repara¬
tive powers
are repre¬
sented only
in their nar¬
row limits.
Our cuts and
wounds heal,
it is liue, and
broken bones
knit together
their sundered
pieces ; but
beyond mild

results in making good our losses, we do
not appear to excel in the display of de¬
veloping new parts or tissues for old oi
lost ones.

I suppose we may account tor the rela¬
tively small privilege nature has bestowed
upon us by the fact that we cannot expect
to own a body dominated by a high nervous
system, and at the same time to be able
to exert healing powers to the extent seen
in creatures the rank of whose nervous ap¬
paratus removes them outside the sphere ol
shock from injury. The lower frame is like
a democracy where all the parts and tissues
are developed on a dead level more or less.
Reparative powers in such a case, it is easy
to conceive, would represent a natural pos¬
session of such a being, for the restoring
elements would be scattered freely through
the tissues. The higher animal, on the
other hand, resembles the autocratic state,
whereof the head is the nervous system,
keeping all the less important units under
strict subjection and control. This seems to
be the reason why life’s repairs persist so
distinctly in lower forms— Andrew Wilson.

OF PISA: CRESY AND TAYLOR’S METHODS OF MEASURING. WITH THE MEASUREMENTS THEY TOOK IN 1817.

When, a few weeks ago, the question of the security of the Leaning Tower of Pisa . ccame urgent, the Italian Embassy in London was asked to make inquiries as to certain measurements of
the tower said to have been made by two Englishmen (Messrs. Cresy and Taylor) in 1829. which showed its inclination at that date. Their measurements are to be found in their book,
published in 1829. entitled "Architecture of the Middle Ages in Italy." The actual measurements, however, were made twelve years before, in 1817- We are now able to reproduce three
of the illustrations ftom that book, which will supply to the Italian authorities the result of the experiments made by these two well-known architects. It may be added that the tower is
now 15 feet 11 inches out of the perpendicular, including the projection of the cornice, which is 2k feet. Without counting the cornice, therefore, it now leans 13 feet 7 inches from the
perpendicular. Thus its deviation has increased about 1 foot since 1817, Messrs. Taylor and Cresy having found it to be 12 feet 7 inches out.

“THE PRUSSIAN MADONNA”: THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN LOUISE OF PRUSSIA WHOSE CENTENARY HAS JUST BEEN CELEBRATED.

Germany has juar been celebrating the centenary of the death, in 1810. of the beloved Queen Louise, who has been called *’ the Prussian Madonna," wife of Frederick William III. of Prussia and
mother of the Emperor William I. She was thus the Great-grandmother of the Kaiser. Queen Louise, who lived when Napoleon's power was at its height, and died before his downfall. wa«
one of his most determined enemies. Born at Hanover in 17 76. she married the Crown Prince of Prussia in 1793. and he became King four years later. In 1806 she persuaded him into
war with France, and herself went to the front, wearing the uniform of her regiment of dragoons. After Napoleon's victory at Jena, she would not let her husband come to terms with
"the Genius of Evil," as she called Bonaparte; but the further disasters of Eylau and Friedland compelled Prussia to submit. Napoleon, who had libelled Queen Louise in hia "Bulletins," received
her graciously at Tilsit iD 1807, and was charmed by her beauty; but he refused her request that Magdeburg should be restored to Frederick William. She left Tilsit in despair; but time
brought round its revenges, when Napoleon's nephew and successor was vanquished at Sedan by the armies of her son.

young offender from the degrading influence and surroundings of the hardened criminal, and in the matter of punishment to aim rather at reclamation than revenge.

These remarkably interesting photographs, taken at the famous New York State Reformatory, at Randall’s Island, and the Truant School at White Plains, show the humanising effects of setting
the incipient criminal to work, and thus giving him an interest in life and a means of earning an honest living. It is of great importance to keep juvenile offenders out of the ordinary police —

courts, with their demoralising atmosphere. The photograph No. 5 on this page illustrates a scene in the Children's Court at New York. This is a subject to which Mr. Winston Churchill'*

prison reform scheme has lent particular interest at the present time. Behind the culprit, as he stands before the Judge, is a police officer, who states the offence. To the right is an official
of the Gerry Society, who will take charge of the prisoner if he is detained or convicted. The moral effect of dealing with young boys in this sympathetic manner can hardly
overestimated. The proceedings rather resemble an interview with a strict but kindly schoolmaster than with a police-magistrate.

VERY LIKE A VOLCANO IN ERUPTION: A MOUNTAIN FOREST ON FIRE IN ARIZONA.

Undoubtedly the forest fire may well be called one of the greatest scourges of the Western Hemisphere. Started by a tiny spark from a sr oker’s match, or from a locomotive's furnace. •
conflagration causing destruction over hundreds of square miles may easily be originated. Lately reports have been sent from Alaska. Minnesota. Michigan and Wisconsin of vast forest fires
which are now raging, in one case covering one hundred square miles and causing a loss of several millions of dollars. New York State is suing two railways for damages caused by the
presumed carelessness of the drivers of locomotives in the great year of forest fires. 1908. Sorr trains are now fitted with special apparatus for pumpiog water upon the flames along the
line. It is interesting to note that in Canada there are special laws to punish the careless handling of bivouack fires or smokers' matches, this matter being specially important for Canada, which,
out of a total area oi 3.619.818 square miles, baa 1-248 798 squire miles of timber land. At the present time the period of heat in America is. of course, responsible for some of these fires.

HOLDING UP THE TRAIN TO SAVE THEIR LIVES

It was during 1908, the year which will always be remembered for the terrible destruction by fire of vaat tracts of forest land in Canada and the United States, that the incident which we
illustrate above occurred. Fifty desperate people, in imminent danger of being roasted to death, held up a train already packed with fugitives from the flames, and. standing in front of the
engine, refused to let it proceed until they were taken on board. The loss of time caused by this interruption was nearly fatal to the whole train and its human freight, as a bridge which
It had to cross was blazing, and collapsed directly after the last carriage had passed over. During the autumn of that year, so dense were the clouds of smoke over many parts of America

that even New York was for several weeks in semi - darkness.

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

T HE question of the accuracy of speedometers is at the
moment very much under discussion in the United
States. There has, it appears, been so much speculation
as to the effect of wide and sudden changes of tempera¬
ture upon the indications of these instruments that a
series of tests lias lately been carried out by Professor
G. B. Pegram (how American !) and Mr. Burton \V. Ken¬
dall. Three instruments were tiied, one a Jones (which
is a governor-actuated machine), and the other two well-
known standard Ameri¬
can instruments of the
magnetic type. The test r
consisted in comparing
the readings obtained
from the three instru¬
ments at different tem¬
peratures, and plotting
curves to demonstrate
the results. By the re¬
turns submitted, it would
appear that the maximum
variation of the mechan¬
ically operated instru¬
ment was 3*6 m.p.h. at
6o m.p.h. at a temper¬
ature of 137 5 deg. Fahr.

On the other hand, the
instrument registered
i£ m.p.h. fast again at
6o m.ph., but at a
temperature of 16 deg.

Fahr., or sixteen degrees
of frost.

In the case of one
magnetically actuated
apparatus with the same
degree of cold—namely,

16 deg. Fahr., at
6o m p.h. — the error
appeared to be ten

times as great as that ■ r

But a motor gymkhana carried out as was

these more or less were obtained with the other magneti¬
cally actuated instrument tested, but the error, on the
whole, was less. Of course, the temperatures named are
abnormal for Great Britain, 137 deg. of heat and 16 deg.
of frost occurring but very rarely. If a speedometer in
this country will perform satisfactorily all round in a
temperature range of from 40 deg. to go deg., there is
not much at which to grumble. But steps should be
taken to prove that they will so behave, or certain astute

vides excellent and exciting entertainment.

It is suggested that one day at least should be
devoted to a great motor race “or races” in the Isle
of Man in connection with the Jubilee celebration next
year. Apparently, the Isle of Man, through her auto¬
mobile club, will take matters into her own hands,
and hold a motor race next year. Man is throwing

away a large seasonal asset by quietly acquiescing in
the veto which has obtained for the past two years.

Greater tribute to the excellence of the Silent Knight
Valveless engine could not be than the adoption of
this motor as a standard pattern by the great and
ultra - conservative firm of Panhard - Levassor. The
first Panhard car wearing the Knight motor arrived
at 14, Regent Street a few days ago, and has
already won golden opinions from those who have
tested the car. The motor differs very slightly

ART NOTES.

R USKIX said that the nation buried Turner in a three¬
fold manner — his body in St. Paul’s, his pictures
at Charing Cross, his purposes in Chancery. The build¬
ing of a gallery at Millbank suggested at first nothing
more than a piling-up of clods upon his fame, or a monu¬
ment to the national disregard of his wishes. When he
laid it down that the rooms to receive his pictures should
be added to the National Gallery he clearly intended
to be housed with the masters of all times and coun¬
tries, but the foundation of a removed British Section
and the munificence of Sir Joseph Duveen have drawn

imagined that he needed the advertisement of great
company. Mallarme, possibly, might have returned to
France without the belief and the message that Turner
was the greatest painter that ever lived if “ Rain,
Steam, and Speed" had not greeted him in Trafalgar
Square, but in the long run everybody must see the
works of so great a painter, wherever they may have
to be seen. In the new premises someone each dav
will make Mallarme’s discovery. At the National
Gallery the appreciation of Turner was always an
exertion, and often an exertion too great to be compassed ;
but at Millbank the single, uncrowded lines of Turner’s
landscapes offer the spectator the riches of his genius

beginning of the secrets that he knew, for he cherished
repetition and numbers no less than the unit. The
Eastern mind seems not to have discovered, with Words¬
worth, the value of ten thousand dancing daffodils, but
Turner's visions came alike, solitary or in flocks.

The Venetian-red silk damask of the walls upon
which some of the Turners are hung has been excused
on many grounds, and everywhere been deemed to call
for excuse. It is remembered that Turner once paid for
the re-covering in such material of the chairs and divans
in a public gallery where his work was to be seen, and
that his own gallery was so decorated. It is also pointed
out that the climate will modify the colour. We hope

THE HOME. ATLANTIC, AND MEDITERRANEAN FLEETS IN MOUNTS BAY.

Mount's Bay in Napslesn’s time occasionally saw a British frigate squadron riding the e at anchor for a few days, and during the past twenty-five years, at rare intervals, one or other of the battleship and cruiser ;quadrons taking
part in the naval manoeuvres has remained for short periods in th: Bay; but never before until last week did such an assemblage, so formidable in numbers and fighting strength, muster in the hi>toric waters as that whic »
collected there tor King George’s inspection, until bad weather and a sudden change of plans at the last moment caused them hastily to shift their quarters to the less exposed roadstead of Torbay. Our lustration shows the
mighty fleet drawn uj at anchor in front of Penance, In rows of ships according to class, and with, right in the centre of the scene, the group of "Dreadnoughts" which forms the backbone of the entire armament.

him from the centre of London into the discredited
company nf the Chantrey favourites. The national con¬
science is quieted by the thought that it has allowed
“ The Sun Rising Through Vapour ” and “ Dido
Building Carthage " to remain beside their Claudes at
headquarters, with some twenty other examples. And
did not Turner’s first exhibited oil - picture represent
“Millbank at Moonlight’’?

The real justification of the new Turner Gallery is
that Turner triumphs in it. Had the same gallery been
erected in Trafalgar Square, he would have obtained a
more central position, as positions are measured in the
cab radius, and for a lesser man the gain might have
counted for something. Even Turner himself must have
failed in the full comprehension of his genius if he

with friendly readiness. The overcrowding of the room
in Trafalgar Square, where it was impossible to look at
any picture without filling up the eye with corners of
adjacent canvases, contributed not a little to an impres¬
sion of Turner as the painter of multiplicities rather than
of singularities. At the Tate Gallery, the almost
Oriental gravity of much of the work is the quality
that first strikes one. The waves and mountains of
the Chinese exhibition at the Britisn Museum ex¬
press even less potently than Turner’s the loneli¬
ness and composure of the waves and the skies :
he knew that one crest can suggest the breaking of
multitudinous seas, that one peak stands as high and
as mightily in the sky as a range, that the single
star shepherds an unseen legion. These were but the

not. *1 he Venetian-red silk damask was chosen by
Turner, and by those who are now responsible, not be¬
cause it fades, but because, unfaded, it is the background
that gives most value to the artist’s schemes. — E. M.

LADIES' PAGE.

INTERNATIONAL clouds on I lie horizon threatening
1 to burst have done more already than the
gentle dews of sentiment could ever effect to draw
together the Motherland and her Colonies ; and among
more potent signs of the closer stand shoulder to
shoulder of the brethren of the near and far Britains
is the increased social importance of the representatives
of the greater Colonies. The Colonial High Commis¬
sioners’ ladies have been much more heard of this
season in London Society than ever before. One of the
most charming of these representatives of our sisters
in Australia is Lady Reid. A unique incident, I hear,
marked the arrangements for her departure from her
Colonial home ; her servants entertained her to dinner !
This was an improvement on Lady Aberdeen’s tea-
parties to her servants, at which the mistress of the
house remained the hostess. At Lady Reid’s domestic
farewell banquet the cook was in the chair—an arrange¬
ment that seems as if it must carry disaster in its
train ! The housemaid-guests left their places to serve
the table when the courses were changed-this can be
understood ; but who dished up in the kitchen ? This
is one of the most important operations of the whole art
of cookery, and could it be left to the kitchenmaid ? At
the same time, the cook is decidedly the most important
of the domestic workers, and who else should take the
chair when the staff dine the lady of the house ?

Seriously considered, there may be no more important
reform needed in our social state than elevating the art
of cookery to its proper level by increasing the respect
paid to those who excel in that great art. Individual
cooks, it is true, obtain their proper meed of respect if
their acquirements are adequately high. Who amongst
ordinary housekeepers does not pamper and indulge
that rara avis an excellent cook ? Sir Horace Rum-
bold once met an Ambassador of Britain in foreign
parts who positively wept as he recounted how his cook
robbed him, and “ sauced ” the master instead of only
the meats, and yet was such a superb artist that he
could not be sent away. People who want good dinners
will not disdain to consult and court the cook. Careme
says that when he was cook to Lord Stewart (afterwards
Lord Castlereagh) at Vienna, “I daily received in our
magnificent kitchen a visit from Milord ; he daily
bestowed on me encouragement, and frequent presents.”
The Emperor of Russia lost Careme by submitting him
to “ a humiliating surveillance.” The Rothschilds
secured the artist—no good cook lacks appreciation : it
is ever ready, and the implied talents, natural and ac¬
quired, are held worthy of honour and reward. What
an old complaint it is that the governess is held in lower
esteem than the cook—paid less and less regarded.
Well, as Tennyson’s Northern Farmer tersely closes an
argument—“ Reason why ! ”

To be a first-rate cook really demands both intel¬
lectual and physical qualities of a high order. No
person will cook well who is not possessed of excellent

gustatory nerves, and thereby is rendered able to appre¬
ciate what is actually good to taste and what is not. Is
not this at least as noble, as well as being as rare,
a natural endowment as the power to choose and har¬
monise colours and set them with a paint-brush on canvas ?
Even the very talent of the painter must be possessed by
the perfect cook, for a good tithe of the success of a dish
comes from presenting it in a form pleasant to the eye.
Claude, the greatest of landscape artists, was actually at
one time a cook. His specialty was pastry ; and the
gift for form and colour that moved the admiration
of Turner, our own great colourist (to such an extent
that he bequeathed two o r his finest pictures to the
National Gallery on condition that for all time those
canvases should hang next to those of Claude,
challenging comparison with them as the highest efforts
of human skill), Claude first practised on sweet dishes
when he was cook to the Roman artist Tassi.

Then, too, the eyesight must be good as well as
artistically gifted—although the London County Council
is at the present time teaching blind pupils to cook
with considerable success ; still, for cleanly, nice cook-
ing, good eyesight is really required. Good hearing,
again, to know when every pot is bubbling, every
roast sizzling, to precisely the right degree, is not
unimportant. The remaining sense, too, must be acute,
not only to detect burning, to judge freshness, etc.,
but as indispensable to aid taste. Moreover, great
mental faculties are needful—good memory, an organ¬
ising brain able to map out the whole proceedings from
the beginning, to arrange that each detail shall follow
every other in proper order, shall be ready when
needed, and shall be suited to its position in the scheme
of things. Add to all this the sheer knowledge required
in cooking, which can be gained only by a combination
of study and experience. And then, last not least, there
is the moral character needed; the industry and con¬
scientiousness, and faithful, detailed attention. “ What
torments, what preoccupations, what cares, and how 1
have tortured my body and my mind!” cries Careme.
Reflect finally upon the power of the cook’s art over
human happiness in daily life, and on human health
and longevity — and it is surely clear that how to
increase the supply of this order of ability for this
important work is one of the most important pro¬
blems in social economy !

Many household commodities can be put to various
uses, beyond those usually assigned to them. This idea
occurring to the proprietors of Seccotine caused them to
institute an inquiry into the subject, and they discovered
that not only is Seccotine useful to repair all possible
kinds of breakages, but that it will renovate faded silks,
muslins, etc., will act equally well with furs and feather
boas, and woollens and tapestries, while a thick solution
of Seccotine does for gesso-work. Large numbers of
other useful recipes poured in, and the manufacturers
made a careful selection of the best and have produced
them in booklet form, which can be bad free by sending

Nothing goes to show the increasing popularity of the
Isle of Man as a health and pleasure resort better than
the immense crowds who visit the island for their annual
holiday. The Midland Railway Company’s steamer
service between Heysham and Douglas, now in opera¬
tion, should especially attract Londoners. The turbine
steamer Manxman is announced to sail every week-day
until the end of September. The Manxman accommo¬
dates sixteen hundred passengers, and was built specially
for the convenience of tourists to the Isle of Man. From
London, by making use of the Midland route, it is possible
to breakfast at the ordinary hour in town, and dine at six
the same day in Douglas, the interval being occupied in
an agreeable railway journey in a comfortable carriage
or restaurant car. At Heysham the trains run alongside
ths steamer, and baggage is transferred without charge
or inconvenience, so the passenger can go on board
without anxiety for a pleasant three-hours’ cruise. The
visitor will find in the Midland tourist annual “ Country
and Seaside Holidays” a directory of furnished apart¬
ments in the island, and all about how to enjoy himself
in the Midland Company’s illustrated Isle of Man
brochure.

Anything that will help to make a holiday more
pleasurable is worth consideration, and quick and easy
shaving is one of the things. Those who understand
how to enjoy themselves always carry a Gillette Razor in
their kit, because it is the simplest and easiest razor to
use, and requires no stropping or honing. There is
nothing to learn in using it; the blade itself curves to the
face, compelling its correct use, and there is no risk of
cutting the face. The Gillette Safety Razor is sold in
Standard set. twelve double-edged blades, for a guinea ;
in pocket editions (size of a cigarette-case) and com¬
bination sets (including shaving soap and brush com¬
plete) for 27s Send to 17, Holborn Viaduct, London, E.C.

The Grand Prix at the Japan-British Exhibition has
been awarded to Messrs. Humphrey Taylor and Co.,
Bloomsbury Distillery, London, for their liqueurs, cordials,

THE CABINET THAT SAVES THE OPERATOR FROM THE EVILS OF X-RAYS: THE KING LOOKING AT A PATIENT

UNDER THE X-RAYS AT THE LONDON HOSPITAL.

The King showed particular interest in the precautions taken to render the administration of the X-rays safe both for the operator and for the patient. As the world has learned, through
the publicity given to the sad cases of the late Mr. Cox and other pioneers of the tre.tment. the u»e of the X-rays may be attended with the gravest danger. This danger, it is
hoped, has now been altogether eliminated. At the London, ior instance, the patient who is to be set under the rays is placed in a special cabinet, lined with lead and iron, and fitted
with windows of lead gl*as. which is as impervious to the rays as is lead itself. The rays are controlled from the outside of the cabinet. It will be recalled that Queen Alexandra
showed her sympathy this week with Dr. F. S. Pepperdene. one of the X-ray martyrs, by sending him a letter and a cheque for £50. and by sending another letter and

T HE Entente Cordiale was born of a King’s smile:

will France find forgetfulness—after forty years —in
a cup of champagne ? The statue of Strasburg, on the
Place de la Concorde, still wears its wreaths of immor¬
telles, its tricolour tied with crape. But is there nothing
changed since the Provinces passed to the Teuton as the
spoils of war ? The new policy has begun—the policy of
detente —it is plain enough to see. Baron von Schon, the
new Ambassador to Paris, if not a Francophile, is accus¬
tomed to put water into the wine of German methods.
His hand was gloved in the incident of Casablanca; the
French recognised the new method in an instant. As to
the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Herr von Kiderlen-
Waechter, his policy is declared by the Berliner
I'ageblattXo be the maintenance of the Triple Alliance
and the “Bonne Entente” with France. Evidently,
an era of conciliation is at hand. Champagne, I say,
has something to do with the turn of events. French
wines are heavily penalised in the latest German
tariff. The increase came as a thief in the night.
In consideration for lowered duties the Fiench fixed a
reasonable tax on certain German goods, notably the
Nuremberg toys ; but. alleging a falling revenue, the
Germans reinstalled the old schedules. ” A breach of
faith ! ” cried the wine-growers of the smiling French
plains. “ A turn of the political screw ! ” thought
others, who see in the act a deep design, deeper than
the pockets of toy-makers or growers of the grape.

Obviously, there are few fresh fields for France to
conquer in England. We are not going to consume
two Normandy eggs in place of one, even to flatter
the French ; nor are our womenkind likely to increase
their bonnet-bills to pay the rents of the Rue de la Paix.
l he point is : Franco-British trade can hardly reach
another notch, whereas, beyond the Rhine, there is a
virgin land where they consume French Cognac “ made
in Germany,” and manufacture a vast quantity of
bric-a-brac, which, though innocent of French taste,
bears (in fraud) a ticket from Paris. “ If,” say these
consummate traders, the French, “ we can get within
the tariff-wall, there is room and U spare in the
Fatherland for our products of Lyons and Rouen.” But
to build up a trade of the sort a contract is required.
Is the moment ripe for an instrument of Franco-
German commerce ?

None can gainsay the fact that the present atmo¬
sphere is in favour of a business Entente. Though
the Kaiser drinks, in public, the wine of his country,
at Potsdam, it is declared, the Imperial cellars show
a goodly store of “fizz” from France. The trade
grows as German thirst increases with prosperity. Hence
it would surprise the business community but little if
Gretchen and Marianne were to come to an understanding.

Understandings are in the air. Since Count von
Schon and Prince Radolin assisted in the solution
of Casablanca, Herr von Kiderlen-Waechter showed
courtesy and dispatch in the arrangement of a con¬
vention between the two countries over Moroccan mines
and concessions. Then there is a telegraphic treaty that
has its bearing, no doubt—another stone in the causeway
of “ Entente.” From these minor matters to a major,
fixing the basis of international commerce, is no great step.

Financial opinion favours it, and financial opinion
reflects itself in Parisian newspapers. Much good
French money goes by way of Belgium and Switzerland
to Berlin. Naturally, those who hold German securities
are in no mind for war. Nor is it certain that the War
Lord, himself, wishes to indulge in martial exercises. To
this section which, from interest, looks to a closer under¬
standing with Germany, should be added that ultra-
Radical and Socialist party in the Republic, which is
pacifiste at any price. No Government, upon a broad
and democratic base, can look with equanimity upon the
prospect of war. Universal suffrage and universal con¬
scription form something of a mesalliance.

With a “ Bonne Entente ” (such as now admittedly
exists) transformed into an “ Entente Cordiale,” would
disappear the threat of war. These various influences
which are in the air, the impulse of the trader and
financier, and the cry of the reformer at home, may be
solidified into a real work of peace, an effective bury¬
ing of the hatchet which has hung over France for
forty years.

It is only necessary to go back seven years to realise
the full potency of German threats. Prince Henckel von
Donnersmarck came to Paris with the revolver of a
European war in his pocket. M. Delcasse said it was
not loaded; M. Rouvier was certain that it was. Any¬
way, it was disconcerting to have the glistening barrel
pointing at one’s head. When the emissary of the
Wilhelmstrasse cried, “Stand and deliver!” the cus¬
todian of the national honour handed over the property
with a faint show of protest. “ It is no good fighting—
we have no navy,” declared the man in charge; “nor
are our defences on the east in shape to resist
attack.” So Germany scored her first triumph in face
of the Entente.

Meanwhile, there is this question of the cordial
understanding. Is the Armageddon at hand—the great
and final conflict between the naval monsters of England
and Germany ? Many Frenchmen believe it, preach
it in their political schools and proclaim it in their
journals. To be linked with England means the danger
of a war—means the danger of a new confiscation. Is
the English Navy, itself, of a force to meet and destroy
the growing strength of Germania? Questions of the
sort trouble the sleep of French politicians. The
Briand Cabinet, certainly, shows soundness in its
friendship with Great Britain, but forces may arise
greater than Cabinets and compelling to a union with
the old - time foe. Nor does the Kaiser spare pains
to show courtesy to the random and representative
tourist. Even the most stalwart supporter of 44 La
Revanche ” must feel himself disarmed before the
Imperial graciousness. And thus it comes about that
a new combination of power is in progress. It may
be that on the new “ diagonal ” are to be found Berlin
and Paris. Events seem to be shaping towards a con-
centratjou oi Central Europe. Charles Dawbarn.

likely to prove one of the most inteie*ting weeks of racing within recent memory. There can be little doubt that attention was chiefly drawn to the “Westward,” the much - discussed Arneiic»n

tration of the extraordinary strides of science in wire¬
less telegraphy. Certainly it is not unnatural that
most modern people should desire to discuss elec¬
tricity rather than crime. It is instinctive to dwell
on those airy matters of science in which we have
progressed so much rather than on those solid matters
of morals in which it is highly doubtful if we have
progressed at all. It is pleasanter to reflect on the
mind of man bridging the starry abysses and dissect¬
ing the atoms of the ultimate, rather than to remem¬
ber that the heart of man is still mysterious and
barbaric, deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked. And the wonders of wireless telegraphy are
indeed most fascinating and inspiring to anyone who
takes the right view of physical
science—which is to regard it
as a fairy tale, always beautiful,
and sometimes true, but never,
in the supreme sense, important.

There is something high and
lurid in the thought of those
human whispers meeting like
secret winds in the monstrous
solitudes of the sea. There is
something elfin and poetic in
the idea of human words, shot
into the distance like arrows,
and hanging poised and waiting
like birds. Few of the fairy
tales of science, indeed, have
provided anything so vast and
so fantastic as this covering of
the sea with a net-work of un¬
seen legends ; building invisible
post - offices and unsubstantial
pillar-boxes in the void.

But there is one aspect of
this almost eerie exactitude of
science that claims more con¬
sideration. It cannot be dis¬
puted that our age has been
and is still marked by an
advance in this ruthless and
rigid accuracy, this sharp and
polished dexterity of the
sciences and the machines.

Whether a man detests the
tendency, as Ruskin did, or
accepts it, as Whitman did, or
simply thinks it slight and
secondary, and of little direct
effect on happiness (as most
ordinary people think, including
the present writer), there can be
no rational dispute about the
existence of the practical science, about its strength,
or about its precision. This being so, a grave difficulty
follows. We are now confronted with the colossal and
really terrifying responsibility of doing things that we
can really do. As long as people only dreamed of flying
or tried to bridge the sea, they were as innocent as
any other fancies of the intellect; but dreams that come
irue are very dreadful things. The dreamer always feels,
with subconscious horror, that he has had something to
do with it. And when we embark on anything, the real
risk is not defeat : the real risk is victory. To a deep
and delicate conscience, it is comparatively little to
feel responsible for a thing’s failure. The really terrible
thing is to feel responsible for its success.

Here is a hard case with our legal and ethical
methods. Savage tools and methods may be both
clumsy and cruel, but they are all the less cruel for
being clumsy. The barbarian may have no notions beyond
those of fire and sword ; but his sword will be of wood
or flint, and if he gets fire (as I was told in youth) by
nibbing two sticks together, he must rub a long time.
Mud walls do not a prison make, nor bamboo bars a
cage; and even the minds most innocent and quiet

conceived simple modes of escape from such detention.
From time to time in my youth members of my pre¬
sent trade—simple, unaffected journalists—used to turn
up with tlie information that they had just been tor¬
tured by savages. I salute them with all reverence:
to be tortured, even by savages, must be distinctly un¬
pleasant. But 1 would much rather be tortured by sav¬
ages than tortured by civilised men. The thumbs?, ew
and the boot, in rude hands, would alarm me less than
a much simpler apparatus (say a stair-rod, seven hair¬
pins, and a pot of glue) in the hands of one whose
eyes shone with the light of science. I should always
have a notion that the savages would make a mess of
the boot and thumbscrew business somehow. I shtmld
always vaguely expect that the thumbscrew would not
fit, being made for a chimpanzee sort of thumb; I

should always fancy they would get the boot on the
wrong leg. But science has always shown a capacity,
and even an alacrity, in the creation of cruel and
destructive things. It stands to reason that a person
who knows enough about the body to help it, knows
enough about it to hurt it; and it would be a delicate
question to decide whether science has turned out more
pills or more cannon-balls. The rationalists of the
Renaissance were almost as rapid in inventing poisons
as the rationalists of the nineteenth century were in
inventing medicines ; and some say that the effect of
both is much the same. An excellent example of a
scientist is the respectable Doctor Guillotin. He hap¬
pened to live at a time when it was highly neces¬
sary to kill people quickly, and therefore he invented a
machine for killing people quickly. But if he had
lived in some other age—say, under Nero or in the
morbid period just after the Reformation—he would
probably have invented a machine for killing people
slowly. And he would probably have invented a good
machine. And he would probably be much admired by
many modern people who worship the means of civilis-
isation instead of the end. There are many ladies and
gentlemen I know who would seriously approve of the
rack if it were kept quite clean and worked by electricity.

But in a cruder society, this perfection of machinery
is inconceivable. Savagery has many vices and some
virtues ; but it has, above all, the great virtue of
inefficiency. No constitution can be quite so mad in
practice as it is on paper, and no father of his people
is quite so tyrannical as he would like to be. We cannot
condemn the kings and jailers of certain rough systems
for the very reason that those systems are so rough ;
so rough as to be scarcely systems at all. The jailer
escapes — because the prisoner escapes. Therefore in
any wild and insecure society, we can contemplate
without intolerable horror a possibility that should
always be present to us. I mean the possibility that
we may be making all the bad men jailers and all the
good men convicts. I mean, in short, the idea that
our moral system may be so highly disputable that it
may actually segregate the worst
types in society and the best
types in revolt against society.
This is always a dreadful possi¬
bility ; but so long as the jailer
and the prisoner struggle almost
on equal terms, we may be well
content that their moral systems
should be dubiously balanced
also. But if we make the pris¬
oner really a prisoner ; if we pui
him quite helplessly in the hands
of his jailers forever; if we band
all nations against him ; if we
shut all ports before his pas¬
sage ; if steel traps stand open
for him everywhere and secret
voices betray him in the wilder¬
ness of the sea—then surely it
is certain that we ought to have
a proportionally fixed and in¬
fallible moral certainty that we
are doing the right thing with
him. Instead of losing its dog¬
mas, the modern world is bound
to bind its dogmas tighter. It
must be more certain that it is
right, not less certain. Its dog¬
mas must be as definite as the
verdict and as hard as the
handcuffs, as logical as an ex¬
tradition treaty and as universal
as wireless telegraphy.

Now here is the whole trouble.
Unluckily, it is not true, it is
quite the reverse of the truth,
that as our science grows more
accurate our morality grows
more defined. It is not true (as
it ought to be) that as our method
grows more unfailing our creed
grows more infallible. It is, in fact, exactly the oilier
way. Actually, it is just now’, when the police are most
perfect as an organisation, that people feel them most
imperfect as an idea. Precisely now, when the pii-
soner cannot possibly get out of prison, we are most
deeply doubting whether he ought ever to have been
in prison. Now that nothing can keep his head out
of the noose, we are most profoundly sceptical about
whether anything should put his head in it. In the
days when men really believed in the rope, the rope
often broke. Now that numbers of people are intrin¬
sically sceptical about it, it is twisted out of cords
of iron. Thus a deep chasm has been cleft between
public and private life, which may yet be found to
constitute a real lesion and malady in our common¬
wealth. Wonderful wireless telegraphy may some day
whisper in mid-ocean the name of a murderer at the
very moment when no large-hearted private citizen
w'ould whisper it to his next-door neighbour.

There are two escapes from this dilemma. One is
to re-establish a barbaric chaos, with broken prisons
and derided laws. The other is to re-establish a clear
morality. I rather fancy the latter course will be
found the better in the long run.

THE MOST POPULAR BOYS IN GERMANY: THE GERMAN CROWN PRINCES THREE SONS

As we note under the portrait showing the two elder sons of the German Crown Prince (reproduced elsewhere in this number),
the future Emperor and his brothers may well take rank as the most popular boys in Germany.

BETWEEN THE LAND AND HIS MAJESTY’S YACHT, AT TOR BAY.

The King entered Tor Bay on Tuesday, the 26th of last month, and there received the first salute from
the Navy since his accession. Care was taken to enable his Majesty to be in touch not only with the
great fleet, but with his many interests on land. For this purpose, a cable was laid between the shore
and his Majesty's yacht. Thousands of spectators gathered together to witness the coming of the
Sovereign and of his Consort.

The German people take the greatest possible interest in the children of the Crown Prince, and it has been
said with a good deal of truth that the youngsters are the most popular boys in Germany. The Crown Prince,
it may, perhaps, be noted, has three sons—Prince Wilhelm Friedrich, born in July 1906j Prince Ludwig
Ferdinand, born in November of the following year j and Prince Hubertius, born in September of last year.
The Crown Prince was married to Princess Cectlie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in June 1905.

THE SIMPLICITY OF MAJESTY. THE KING AND QUEEN MAKING THEIR UNOSTENTATIOUS PROGRESS TO THE LONDON HOSPITAL-THE ROYAL CARRIAGE AT ST. GEORGE'S CIRCUS.
By the Sovereign's special wish, his drive to the London Hospital, in company with the Queen, was not of a ceremonial nature, it was arranged, indeed, that it should be regarded as private. In support of the
idea, the procession consisted of but two carriages, although there was a travelling escort of Household Cavalry. Ceremony, of course, was not altogether absent, despite the desire for simplicity, for, it being
the King's first visit to the City as King, the Pearl Sword was surrendered to bis Majesty by the Lord Mayor at the boundary of London.

Queen Mary showed her active interest in the nurses of the London in several ways, but never more
emphatically than when she presented certificates and prizes to three probationers. She performed the
simple ceremony in answer to a request of Mr. Holland, who stated that not only had the three ladies
been most successful in the examination, but that, what was even more important, they possessed in
high degree the qualities likely to make them excellent nurses, beloved of their patients.

When the King and Queen arrived at the London, fifty or sixty of the nurses stood awaiting them near

much in evidence when, in company with the probationers, they had place in the out-patients’ hall, at the
rear of which also were the housemaids, the laundry-workers, and the scrubbers. It was in this hall that
the Queen presented the certificates and moncy-prizes to the three probationers.

Gertrude, daughter of Sir John Pollard Willoughby. There
were no children, and the title passes to his brother.

It is with a sense of neighbourly regret that we record
the death of the well-known Rector of St. Clement Danes,
Strand, the Rev. J. J. H. Septimus Pennington, who died
suddenly last week in the parish which he had served so
well for over twenty years. It was in 1889 that he was
appointed to the living by the late Lord Exeter, after
having held previous benefices at Dover, West Langdon,
Willesborough, and Tunstall, in Kent, and ever since he

had taken a deep and
practical interest in
the affairs of the dis¬
trict. In the inter¬
ests of the poorer in¬
habitants, for instance,
he opposed the ex¬
tension of the Law
Courts now taking
place over the spot
known as “ Strand
Park.” Mr. Penning¬
ton also keenly interested himself in the historical and literary
associations of St. Clement Danes. He put up stained - glass
windows to Dr. Johnson and other celebrities, and carefully pre¬
served “ the Doctor’s pew.” His latest interest of this kind
was Mr. Percy Fitzgerald’s new statue of Dr. Johnson outside
the east end of the church, which, but for King Edward’s death,
would have been unveiled
bv Princess Louise, Duchess
of Argyll.

Canon Benham was proud
of the fact that he was one
of those “ Whose life in
low estate began,

_ and on a simple

village green ”—
his father having
been the village
postmaster of
West Me on, in
Hampshire. The
Canon, who was
widely known
under his pseu¬
donym of “ Peter
Lombard ” to
readers of the
Church Times ,
to which he con¬
tributed a week¬
ly article, was
also the author
of a large num¬
ber of books,
ecclesiastical and

otherwise. One of his chief works was the Life of
Archbishop Tait, in which he collaborated with Dr.
Randall Davidson, now Archbishop of Canterbury.
It was Archbishop Tait who, as Bishop of London,
ordained him and presented him to various livings,
the last being that which he held at the time
of his death — namely, the Rectory of St. Edmund.
Lombard Street.

Every recognition and encouragement is due to
the native Indian Princes who are active in their
loyalty to the British Crown and in the suppression
of sedition. The Maharajah of Nashipur, whose
portrait we give, was the first to respond to the
special invitation recently made by the Government
of India to the Princes and notables of Bengal
to assist openly
in dealing with
sedition in that
province. He
has made a
powerful appeal
to those of his
subjects who are

which, owing to
his great influ¬

appreciate ant-life at its true worth within the time¬
limits I have mentioned, and quite a wealth of detail,
revealing very marvellous instincts and modes of life, is
now to be garn¬
ered from the
pages of any
good zoological
manual. But
some books over¬
top others in re¬
spect of the full-
ii ess of the
knowledge they
convey. As re¬
gards ant - life,
the writings of
I-ord Avebury
and Dr. McCook
stand out in
prominence, but
I bid fair to
say Dr. W. M.
Wheeler’s book
on “Ants”
(Columbia Uni¬
versity Press.
New York, and
the Macmillan
Company) will
more than satisfy
the most eager
and ardent
student of this
insect family
who is “ wanting to know.” Dr Wheeler lias long been
a patient observer of the ways of ants, and his studies
as Professor of Economic Entomology at Harvard have
naturally fitted him in no ordinary fashion for writing a
very complete history of their “Structure, Development,
and Behaviour,” as his title-page has it. The book
itself is a very handsome volume, illustrated to ihe full
by photographs and sketches. With this book at hand
we are guided not into one, but into a mass, of studies
in the life of the insects, such as causes us to admire
the patience, perseverance, and skill which the learned

author has exercised in the work of producing this
splendid monograph. Well may Dr. Wheeler quote
William Gould, from his “Account of English Ants,
1747,” that “The Subject indeed is small, but not
inglorious. The Ant, as the Prince of Wisdom, is

phases of life repre¬
sented in ant-exis¬
tence. Even slave¬
making and soldier¬
ing can be paralleled.

Dr. Wheeler agrees

with Lord Avebury in

so far that there are

three chief types in

ant - life — hunting,
pastoral, and agricul¬

tural—such as present

a striking analogy to _

the features seen in human development. For ants
have evolved and progressed, as man lias advanced,
and the law of evolution has operated powerfully in both.

Ant-colonies are female societies, a fact which may
not be without interest in present-day political phases.
1 lie males share in the work of development, but do
nothing in the way of building, tending the young, or
guarding the home. Among the female ants, however,
great differences may exist, and their labours and their
structure also
are specialised
for the different
duties devolving
on them. In this
respect of ex¬
hibiting a kind
of predestined
office for each
set of individ¬
uals, Dr.Wheeler
says ants may be
described as liv¬
ing in a species
of “Anarchistic
Socialism,”
without “guide,
overseer, or
ruler,” as Solo¬
mon has it. So

further, and “ to
found other
families of the same kind.” About five thousand species
of ants have been described, and the list, of course, can¬
not be regarded as by any means exhausted. Many vac¬
ations exist in the size and form of the insects. One has
only to glance at Dr. Wheeler’s drawing of the heads of
ants to notice how varied in respect of their head-pieces
these insects appear. Or again, take his plate of a
certain species {Crypto - cerus varians ), and note the
differences between the soldier-ant, the worker, the
female, and the male. More about this book in
another article. Andrew Wilson.

“ Evidence of the exquisite perfection of these (tactile and olfactory)
senses is seen in the segregation of the brood according to age and
condition. The eggs, larvae and pupae of different sizes are placed
in separate piles in the same or different chambers, reminding one,
as Lubbock aptly says, *of a school divided into five or six classes.”*

you, and therefore, by right of Kindred, merits your
Protection.” I wonder what Gould’s expressions would
have been had he been privileged to read in igio
the revelations of ant-life which Professor Wheeler has
given to the world ?

We have a complete biography here of ant-exist¬
ence. There are chapters on ant-predominance, on
their structure, external and internal, on their develop¬
ment, on the variations in form we may find among
one and the same species, on their evolution, on their
distribution, on their nests, and on the various special
habits and instincts of the large array of species which
exists. There is a literal overflowing of scientific riches
in this book, but, unlike many o‘her tomes, the interest
it presents never flags. Each page tells “ever a more
wondrous tale.” The resemblance between human and
ant societies is a topic struck at the outset. The
dominance^ of the ants is owing to their terrestrial
habits. Espinas notes this fact. The materials for
living, for building, and all other purposes of existence
lie at hand. Herein differ the bee and wasp from the
ant, for the former insects have to go afield for
food and for other things. Then, again, few animals
prey on ants. Their enemies are not numerous. That
naturalists should have contrasted the ants with man
in respect of the development of social habits was
inevitable. Types and stages of development of these
instincts are recognisable. We get hunting, pastoral,

GUGLIELMO MARCONI, THE ORIGINATOR OF THE MARCONI SYSTEM OF WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY, WHICH HAS ENABLED

SHIPS IN MID - OCEAN TO COMMUNICATE WITH LAND.

The exciting chase of Dr. Crippen, wanted for the presumed murder of his wife, has more than anything else, with the exception of the famous case where the "* Republic’’ sent the
message of “CQ,D„" brought home to the man in the street the modern marvel of wireless telegraphy. Chevalier Marconi’s mother was an Irishwoman, and he was born in Bologna on
April 25. 1874- He married the daughter of Lord Inchiquin. the Hon. Beatrice O’Brien, in 1905. His first experiments in wireless telegraphy were made at Bologna, where he studied at
the University. In 1899 he established wireless communication across the Channel, between France and England, and his system is now used in the British and Italian navies, and at
various stations on land, over distances up to 1000 miles. He was the first to receive, in 1901. wireless messages across the Atlantic—2100 miles—from Poldhu. in Cornwall, to
St. John’s, Newfoundland. The Marconi system is now in use on more than 120 ships of the Mercantile Marine. In 1907 he established a wireless service for public use across the

Atlantic, between England and America.

Those who complain that the vast stores of knowledge-
treasure found in our museums are as a rule locked up
in reality from the general public by reason of
there being little or no chance of practical
education and study being fostered, will find
nothing to criticise and very much to admire in
the volume just issued by the Trustees of the
British Museum.—(“ British Museum—Hand¬
book to the Ethnographical Collections ”).

sold at the modest price of two shillings, and
in its way it presents a typical example of what
a nation may do for itself in educative work.

Lr. C. H. Read, the Keeper, has had the work
prepared under his direction, and expert assist¬
ance and advice have, of course, been fully at
his command throughout his editorship of the
volume. There is no more entrancing subject
than the tra¬
cing of ihe his¬
tory of different
races of men,
especially in
the social phases of that
study. In an excellent
introduction, we are
treated to a general re¬
view of the subject.
Ethnography is defined
as that branch of an¬
thropology which deals
with the manners and
customs ot different peo¬
ples, and traces their
rise from savagery to¬
wards civilisation. Then
we have a useful classi¬
fication of the topics
which ethnography in¬
cludes. The Study of
Man in relation to the
material world, for ex¬
ample, leads to the con¬
sideration of his food,
clothing, housing, uten¬
sils, defences, and all
other phases which serve
to project him and to
advance him as a sen¬
tient being. In the next
place, man falls to be
considered in relation to
his fellows, and here
questions of the family
history and the tribal
relations intervene, and
present a wealth of de¬
tail for tracing the rise
and progress of hu¬
manity, seen often even
in its crudest and earli¬
est attempts to better it¬
self. The third division
concerns the religious
ideas and observances
of man—his relation to
the supernatural; and the evolution of the higher
religious types from the lower fetishism, devil-worship,
and like ideas. This book might very well serve as
a text - book for the student of anthropology. Its
educative value is not limited to mere descriptions of
the objects contained in the collection, for it supple- thei
inents its information by copious references to the
habits and customs of the peoples whose weapons, dress,
dwellings, arms, implements, ceremonial vestments, etc., are
described. We trust that what lias been so ably accomplished
for the ethnographical side of the British Museum will be repre¬
sented in time for all the other departments. It would be well,
indeed, if every museum in the land, great and small, issued an

F . whole literature has grown up
u (? me * round the personality of the
venerable lady who is known to all the world
as the Empress Eugenie. But the writers
who have dealt with her romantic life have
expended all their efforts in making vivid
to their readers her childhood, girlhood, and
youth, and the brilliant part she played
during the Second Empire. The later events
of the Empress’s life, the long forty years
which have elapsed since she fled a fugitive
from the Tuileries, are dealt with in briefest
fashion. Mr. Edward Legge, in his book, “ The
Empress
Eugenie,

1870 - 1910 ,3

.. (Harpers),

provides most
valuable material for
the future historian.

Owing to his intimate
friendship with the late
Monsignor Goddard,
the excellent Roman
Catholic who super¬
vised the education of
the Prince Imperial,
and who was on terms
of close intimacy with
both the Emperor and
Empress, he has been
given very special facil¬
ities for gathering ma¬
terials tor this most
interesting book, of
which one whole chap¬
ter actually consists
of extracts from letters
written by the Empress
to various friends.

Many readers will turn
with a moved heart to
the chapter entitled
“ Memories of ihe
Prince Imperial,” and
in this coirnection
special value naturally
attaches to M r.

Legge’s reports of
conversations with
Monsignor Goddard,
and to the Prince Im¬
perial’s private letters,
several of which are
printed here for the
first time. Almost too
harrowing is the path¬
etic account of the
terrible agony the be¬
reaved mother went
through when the awful
news of her son’s death was broken to her ; and one
passes on with a sense of relief to that portion of the
book which tells of the peaceful later years of this sorely
tried lady. Very charming is the account of the in¬
formal fete when, in honour of a visit paid to the Empress
by King Alfonso and Queen Victoria Eugenie, the Em¬
press gave a great dinner-party. It was the only enter¬
tainment of the kindlier Imperial Majesty had given during
her long exile. A word of praise must be said for the illus¬
trations. Mr. Legge lias been singularly fortunate in this
connection, owing to the fact that a lady who has b^-en for
many years an intimate friend of the Empress placed at his
disposal her collection of photographs of the Imperial family.

It is obvious to anyone who studies the sculpture and architecture of antiquity, especially in Egypt and Babylonia, that there was a rage among the ancients for works of arc on an enormous
scale. Take, for instance, the huge bulk of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, or the vast dimensions of the temple of Karnak. Babylon, again, covered an area greater than that of any modern
capital. Compare also, with the aid of our Illustrations, the difference in size between the lions outside the Hotel de Ville at Paris and the huge winged bulls from the palace of Darius at

direction of gieat size, if not in sculpture, at any rate to some extent in architecture, and even more so in works of engineering, such as—to mention a few instances at random-
the Forth Bridge, the Lake of Vyrnwy. or the Assouan Barrage on the Nile. One point of difference may be noted between the great structures of antiquity and those of modern
times—namely, chat the former were usually of an artistic or religious character, while the latter are chiefly utilitarian.

bottle referred to. and within a few minutes typical prints were found in the finger-print records. The accused was arrested the same day. It has been found that, when a finger comes a n

contact with a cold, dry, smooth surface, the pattern of the ridges is left more or less distinct on the article touched. They have been found on plated goods, window-panes, glasses, bottle^,
painted wood, and even on candles. The impression on the candle shown was left by a burglar, and was the clue which led to his arrest. The tumbler bears the finger-impreisions of a.
notable criminal. The glass was found in a house he entered in a West End square. The thief helped himaelf to a glass of wine, and in this action left an indisputable clue, which resulted
in his arrest and sentence to four years' penal aervitude. Of particular intereac ia the calendar. Thia was the first case in which finger-print evidence of identification was adduced in court

adopted by Scotland Yard until July 1901. since which time it has resulted in tome 44.000 identifications being made. and. so far as is known, without error. The finger-impressions of two

prairie-wolf. The first plan adopted for getting rid of the rabbits was to poison them, and millions died in that way. but it was found difficult to dispose of
the bodies. If these rabbits were not destroyed, they would clear the ground of all vegetation, including the wheat crops: indeed, they have become California's
greatest pest. In our issue of October 30, 1909, we gave an interesting double-page illustrating the end of a big drive, where 10.000 rabbits were corralled.

ANDREW LANG ON ACADEMIES
AND JURIES.

A DISTINGUISHED historian, who reads the /aits
divers in the newspapers, informed me to-day that
I am an Academician. For various reasons, apart from
the newspapers, I happened to-know that I had been a
member of the British Academy for some time. I am
not a Freemason, but the secrets of the works and ways
of the British Academy shall be guarded by me with a
mystery “more than Eleusinian," as Leo Adolescens
wrote in a charming skit by Mr. Matthew Arnold. Mr.
Arnold used to
sigh, publicly
and in print,
for an Academy
like “ L'Acade-
mie Fran^aise.”

That does, in¬
deed, as far as
I can learn,
seem to be a
pleasant sort of
learned society.

If I err not, the

not much, about
what we give a

man. But the
proceedings are
believed to be a
little more gay
than those of a
jury.

My only ex¬
perience of jury-
dical delights
was not gay,
but compara¬
tively brief. It
is my notion that
I must have
been the fore¬
man, for there was a New Testament on the desk oppo¬
site my seat, and there was a small brazen plate. No
literature except the Testament (in a modern and in¬
artistic edition) was provided. I buried myself in the
book, and, ns nothing was going on, 1 attempted to
converse with my nearest neighbour on New Testament

About the case on which we were going to give our
verdict I entertained the most cruel apprehensions. It
might be a mysterious murder, or one of those affairs in
which a man (or woman) claims to be a Long-Lost Heir
(or Heiress), and these trials often last a long time.
There was the Tichborne case ; it lasted for months,
and for months we might be shut up like a kind of
first-class misdemeanants. It might be some sort of
Dreyfus business.

All that I could learn from the reserved juror was
that our case was concerned with pianos, perhaps with
the pirating of pianos by some American Broadwood, as
in “The Wrong Box,” by R. L. Stevenson. “Alas,
Sir!” I cried, nor checked the rising tear, “in the art

The famous Mystery Piiys of the Middle Ages were evolved out of Church Rituil. Tnere was no other drama existing, and the tradition of the classic Greek and Roman Stare

on "The Dramatist and the Theater," in the “Century Magazine" of November, 1909, "was turned out of the cathedral, and its presentation was undertaken by laymen, the
traditions established in the church were carefully preserved. In a manuscript of a mystery acted in Valenciennes, there is a miniature of the stage on which it was acted, and

upon the Bench of British Themis. Turning to the jury,
lie asked if Mr. A. Lang were present ? I stood up and
bowed with deep humility. “ Mr. A. Lang may go,”
said his Lordship. Probably he was aware that I am no
authority on pianos, or he had some other motive for
mercy at which it is not holy for me to conjecture.

I rushed forth, a free man, but relicta non bene
parmula; I left my umbrella behind me.

The meetings of the French Academy, whatever may
be done at those encounters, must be more joyous than
those of a jury in this country. On reflection I do not
feel at all certain that a Scot, born and bred, can be law¬
fully summoned
on an English
jury, our law be¬
ing quite unlike
theirs, which
knows nothing
of expediting
Letters of Slains,
or of multiple¬
poinding.

The French
Academy has,
presumably, fin¬
ished its Dic¬
tionary. When
last heard of it
was at “Crab,”
or, rather, at
Ecrevisse , de¬
fined as “a
little red fish
which walks
backwards.”
To this it was
objected that a
crab is not a fish
(contrary to the
dictum of Mr.
Frederick Bay-
ham), that it is
not red, and that
It does not walk

After that, prob¬
ably thej' gave
up the Dictionary. Surely the new English Academy will
not tackle a new dictionary, for that Oxford Lexicon,
edited by Dr. Murray, is already exceeding abundant.

I an end; the

impresario anxious to arrange, in the next few days,
for a high-class concert with orchestra and soloists
would surely be at his wits’ end to find performers. All
have gone beyond the reach of sudden summons : the
robust tenors and the soprani with flute-like voices, the
strenuous conductors and excited chorus-masters. For
just a fortnight London is well-nigh void of music, save
that provided by an energetic County Council, to
brighten the little leisure of the millions who must
remain behind when “town is empty.”

Whether it was the period of general mourning, the
revelation of English summer in the guise of English
winter painted green, the attractions of a two - fold
opera season, or a general development of wisdom
among debutants, the truth remains that the number
of recitals by young professional players and singers of
but moderate talent was less than it has been in other
seasons. This is really a hopeful sign of the times, for
in the absence of exceptional gifts a recital is an un¬
necessary expense, and raises hopes
that can but seldom be fulfilled. The
majority of the concert - givers have
shown more than the average measure
of talent, the “ infant phenomenon ”
has not been in evidence, the orchestral
concerts have been almost uniformly
good, though they have attracted less
patronage than they deserve. One of
the five leading orchestras of London
has taken no part in the compe¬
tition: the Beecham Orches¬
tra has not strayed
beyond the

novelty—a highly interesting one—it has produced the
old operas with the most scrupulous regard to detail in
every department, has filled the stage with fine artists
and the auditorium with contented listeners. The new
tenors have perhaps been rather less brilliant than the
hopes entertained of them, but at least two soprani,
Mesdames KousnietzoflF and Demellier, must be added to
the list that is adorned by Mesdames Melba, Tetrazzini,
and Destinn. At His Majesty’s, Mr Beecham has placed
several novelties and a notable Mozart Festival to his
artistic credit, and has shown himself a rarely gifted
and enlightened conductor, as well as a director who is
prepared to go to the extreme lengths of legitimate
expense in order to render a production as complete
as time, taste, and money can make it. He has shown,
too, that he is anxious to employ British composers,
singers, translators, and conductors, and this is a. fact
of the first importance. So a season of no little interest
to the musical world closes upon a note of expectation.
Yet two months, and London will enter upon another

to the nation at an enormous figure, probably on the
ground that its departure to America would be a
national calamity, the painters of the day protest in
chorus. Money, they say, spent on the masters of the
past is money wasted ; spent on the masters of the
present it becomes the fuel both of contemporary and
future art. The national calamity is not the loss of
a few feet of canvas, but the loss, through the neglect
of his age, of a painter of potential power. The new
Contemporary Art Society has been formed in response
to the appeal for protection against the rivalry of the
past, to mitigate the alleged illiberality of the patron
of modern painting, and to correct unfairness in the
bestowal of the Chantrey Bequest. It is not clear that
Mr. Wilson Steer, or any other artists ignored by the
trustees, will paint the better for being in the late,
every other score it is proper for them to be
and Lord Howard de Walden, the president,
lour Judge Evans, and other members of the
new society will doubtless see justice
done. When the honour of purchase
by the Contemporary Art Society is
more esteemed than that of Chantrey
recognition—and the day is not far—
we shall doubtless hear of atrocities
of omission in both camps.

The Message of Sanatogen

No preparation of its kind has ever achieved such a reputation
as Sanatogen.

Many causes have contributed to this unprecedented resulr.

Pre-eminent among them is the constant prescription of
Sanatogen by the medical profession which, as a body, has awarded
it the highest praise. More than twelve thousand doctors have
written in the most enthusiastic terms to describe the benefits they
have obtained from the use of the preparation which the Medical
Press and Circular states “ has strengthened the physician’s
hand a hundred-fold.”

Everyone knows now that it gives

To the Sick—Health

It does this by its power of revitalising the nervous, vascular,
muscular, and digestive systems, whicli it rapidly restores from a
condition of depression to one of normal action. By virtue of
its composition—pure milk casein in chemical combination with
organic phosphorus, an essential constituent of the brain and
nervous system—it feeds the brain and nerves, it improves the
condition of the blood, it helps the stomach to digest other food,
and it thereby develops and strengthens the muscles. In this way
it gives

To the Weak—Strength

and that delightful feeling of returning vitality which tells the
sufferer that he has conquered the disease which had conquered
him, and is once more on the road to health, and the possibility of
taking up his life again where he had laid it down.

Sanatogen, however, does even more than this. It has its
message for those whom disease has not touched. Everyone is
capable of increased vitality and vigour. By feeding the viFal
centres Sanatogen gives

To the Healthy—Vigour

so that work becomes a pleasure, toil becomes enjoyment, and the
whole system takes on a feeling of buoyancy, alertness, and
energy which is as delightful as it is unusual

Sanatogen’s merits have not only been eulogised by the medical
Press, and by the medical profession, but have also been endorsed
by hundreds of the best-known men and women, who have testified
to the cures it has wrought in their cases.

Sanatogen may be obtained from all chemists, in packets from
is. 9d. to 9s. 6d. A free descriptive booklet will be sent on
application to The Sanatogen Company, 12. Chenies Street,
London, YV.C., mentioning 7 he Illustrated London Hews.

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

W HATEVER the Automobile Association does, it
does with all its might. This appreciation applies
to both the great and the little deeds of this virile body.
I am moved to these reflections by the critical examination
of a route-book which has just been issued to the mem¬
bership, entitled “ Scotland for the Motorist,” in which
the routes regarded as motorable are very caielully
detailed, with the out and home mileages, and just
enough description and detail as to scenery and 1 is-
torical and antique associations, in the form of a running
commentary, to prove useful. There are twenty-seven
routes in all, with clearly-drawn diagrams to correspond,
and key-maps in reference. Also a lull list of A.A.
hotels, garages, and agents, with a duty-list of the A.A.
patrols and their respective beats. A really valuable
feature is the Ferry-list, with charges and details as to
times and capacities. Those motorists who fancy touring
in Scotland cannot afford to be without this handy volume.

trailers have each three pairs of wheels, the front and
back pairs steering, while the central pair are driven in
unison and conformity with the drivers of the tractor.
The train, as was demonstrated to a large gathering of

generators are, as a rule, such “ kittel-cattel,” and have
so often gone nigh to congesting the asylums of this
country, that a generator that never fails and never
gives trouble must be classed as a public boon. I am
acquainted with seveial motorists who use Alpha lamps
and Alpha generator^, and they assert most emphatic¬
ally that they never have trouble with one or the other.
The generator can be brought into use at long and
irregular intervals by merely turning on a water-
tap, so long as any carbide remains. And then,
all the resulting hydrate of lime is dry, and can be
thrown away as dust.

The fusion of the Motor Union and the Automobile
Association is much to be wished. Enough harm has
been done to the automobile movement by internal dis¬
sension and the jealous working of one association
against the other. If, as I am informed, negotiations
are taking place with regard to this amalgamation,
those responsible for the pourparlers would appear to

READY TO ASCEND. THE TSAR FERDINAND SEATED BEHIND THE AIRMAN. THE TSAR FERDINAND ENTERING AN AEROPLANE.

The Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria may claim the honour of being the first ruling monarch to go up in an aeroplane. During his recent visit to Kiewit Aerodrome, he made several flights in Chevalier de Lamine's aeroplam

and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience.—( Photographs by Blanckart.]

Those who can recall the demonstrations of the
original Renard train in France some four or five years
ago, and were privileged to witness the performance of
the new Daimler road-train, on Wednesday, July 27,
over terribly rough ground, at the Radford Works of the
Daimler Motor Company, will agree that, tnough the
invention may be assigned to France, it has been left for
British brains and energy to thoroughly perfect the
system. While there is a tractor in the ordinary sense of
the word, with four wheels, the rear pair driving, the

experts, will make its way stolidly and solemnly over
the softest and roughest surfaces. All present felt
that they were assisting at the birth of a revolution
in heavy road-traction.

There are no motor-car light-throwers on the market
which enjoy a better reputation than the Alpha B.R.C.,
sold by Messrs. Fenestre, Cadisch, and Co., of 17, Harp
Lane, E.C.; but if the lamps are good, the Alpha
Generator may even be said to be better. Acetylene

have an awkward job before them. The Automobile
Association boasts the larger membership, but has no
money, practically speaking, and, moreover, discharges
certain great services to its members which are char¬
acterised as illegal in some quarters, while the Motor
Union, in addition to being a particularly law-abiding
body, has a most substantial reserve fund. The Auto¬
mobile Association has the larger membership and the
larger annual income, only it is, all but a small balance,
most praiseworthily spent.

The most obvious way to prevent decay of
the teeth is to remove the particles of food which
cling to and remain between them after eating,
and it is clear that this can only be done by
means of a liquid antiseptic dentifrice and

mouth-wash.

Odol is the preparation to use, for a few drops
mixed with a tumbler of water forms an emulsion
which will thoroughly cleanse and purify the

oral cavity, destroying all injurious bacteria

nesting there. Odol penetrates the interstices

between the teeth and impregnates the mucous
membrane of the mouth, exerting its marvellous
powers, not only during the few' moments while
using it, but for hours afterwards.

LADIES' PAGE.

A GAIN a Member of Parliament has placed upon the
Paper of the House a notice of motion for the
better education of mothers in the bringing-up of
children, the inference being obviously intended that
little babies die, as a rule, because their mothers do not
know how to feed and treat them properly. This is a
great libel upon us as a body! It is doubtless true that
there are mothers who do not scientifically feed and care
for their babies, but only a very small proportion of
infant mortality is caused by ignorance. Far more
potent is sheer poverty. What use is it for a mother
to know that her child ought to be fed and cared for
in a way that she has not the money to supply ? Milk is
the food for an infant; mother’s milk, if possible—
and in a very large number of the cases in which
it is not supplied it is lacking because the poor mother,
who would be only too glad to stop at home and look
after her house and her children, is obliged to go out to
earn the maintenance of the family, and so her infant
must be artificially fed. And why is it not then fed
properlv—that is to say, with milk ? Because pure, new
milk in quantities adequate for the nourishment of an in¬
fant, and supplied fresh frequently, costs money beyond the
means of a poor woman. There are half-a-dozen other
reasons why a poor mother cannot give her children
adequate attention, besides her ignorance, but this one of
sheer poverty, rendering the one proper food unobtainable,
except at too great a sacrifice of the rest of the family’s
wants, is so immense and potent that it is like the first of
the Mayor’s ten reasons why he could not give Queen
Elizabeth a royal salute on her arrival in his town —
“ First, we have no cannon.” “ That will do, Mr.
Mayor,” said the Queen, “ we will not ask for the other
nine reasons.”

But even the mothers who can pay for enough fresh
milk for their babies cannot, in towns, obtain it pure
and unadulterated! If some Member of Parliament
really wants to do something useful for babies, he might
take up the question of the present-day adulteration of
milk, especially by the addition of “preservatives”
thereunto, which is at present actually legal ! This is a
question that affects every rank in society, and now
that the heirs of the Duke of Westminster and Lord
Cadogan, little lads who doubtless were properly fed,
and in that case certainly consumed a good deal of
milk, have died within the course of a few weeks
from appendicitis, possibly some attention' may be
directed to the important question of what are the
results of the continual use of preservatives in food upon
the digestive system, especially of infants. I he recent
extraordinary prevalence of this disease, of which
hardly anything was heard until a few years ago,
must depend upon some new cause. Is there any other
alteration in our ordinary habits to account for it, even
theoretically, except the immensely increased degree
to which chemical preservatives have been forced up¬
on us in our food during the very years in which this
complaint has become so terriblv frequent ?

At a recent sanitary congress, Professor Halliburton
declared that boracic acid, and the like “preservatives, 1 ’
are nowadays “added to milk, cream, sausages, bacon,
and other articles of diet, literally by the shovelful,” and
that the quantity taken in the course of the year by
everybody in ordinary eating is “terrific.” Milk
has been found adulterated to the extent of seventy-
two grains of boracic acid per gallon, and as
a child some months old would require a quart of
milk a day, the poor mite would be poisoned with a
large daily dose of chemicals, of which, when used
in sufficiently large quantities, the known results are
“ vomiting, diarrhoea, impaired digestion, and seal)* skin
eruptions.” When a child is past the infantile stage,
again, and proceeds to take solid foods, milk is still
largely used—it is quite indispensable in a proper diet-
table. But besides the quantity of “ preservative ” thus
unwillingly given in milk, every article of the child’s food
may contain yet more doses of these stuffs. Bread and
butter are the great stand-by of nursery food after the
early period of infancy, with plenty of milk, raw and
cooked. Butter is now immensely drugged with boracic
or salicylic acids ; bread is made of flour bleached by
chemical vapours ; both fresh meat and salted, such as
hams and bacon, dried fish, jams, tinned fruits—are all
medicated “ by the shovelful ” ! If Parliament sits to look
after the public good, how much more important is this
question for it to enquire into, than the majority ol
those on which it spends hours of debate!

Meantime, nothing but milk is suitable—nothing can
replace it—in infant-feeding. It is Nature’s food for
the young. Additions are, of course, needed more and
more as the months go by ; and it is important to make
these with wisdom and knowledge. A really admirable
manual, entitled “ The Care of Infants,” is published
by Mellin’s Food, Stafford Street, Peckliam, London,
and though the price is half-a-crown, it has been
arranged to send a copy absolutely free to any mother
amongst my readers applying for it by post as above.
Naturally, an object in the treatise is to explain the uses
of this excellent food ; but apart from that there is a
wealth of accurate information and good advice, and
every young mother should take advantage of this offer.

How many years have we had with us that peren¬
nially useful garment, the blouse ? It still holds its
own in our favour, and it certainly is invaluable, for it
can be harmonised to all circumstances, in fabric and
colour; and in packing for travelling, or for those
country-house visits that are now on the program...f
of most of us, a good supply of blouses can greatly
diminish the quantity of luggage taken. There are the
flannel and delaine blouses for travelling and for tennis,
cycling, and other exercises; the silk-and-wools, cash¬
meres, muslins, or wool-crepes for simple afternoon
wear; and the crepe-de-Chines, the embroideries, the
laces, the silken fabrics for smarter occasions. It is
true that a whole dress of one material always looks
more complete and handsome than the nicest of blouses
with a different skirt, which always savours a little of
economy, either of packing or possessions. Filomf.NA.

The PIANOLA PIANO

(Steinway, "Weber, or Steek 9*iano)

Provides both recreation and true
musical education for everyone.

I O be able to play all that you want to, whenever you want to, is a recreation

J( of which you would never tire. But while you may at first regard the
* Pianola Piano more as a source of mere amusement, you will soon come to
realise that it is teaching you what music really is. The facility with which you
play familiar airs whets your desire for serious music, and you will soon understand
the absorbing pleasure of personally producing music composed by the great
masters. It is at this point in your musical development that you will find the
Metroslyle and Themodist indispensable. These two inventions are only to be
obtained in the Pianola Piano, and at once establish its superiority over all other
instruments. The Metrostvle is an infallible guide to the interpretations of unfamiliar
compositions, pieces which you are at a loss to play with suitable rhythm and tempo.
Famous composers and musicians, recognising the educational value of the
Metrostyle, have specially indicated their interpretations, which you can reproduce by
its aid. Thus you can base your own interpretation on a sure foundation. The
Themodist accents the melody notes and relegates the notes of lesser importance to
the position which the composer intended them to occupy. You have only to come
and see the Pianola Piano to be convinced that it is the instrument for you. The
Pianola Piano can be obtained for Cash or on Deferred Payments, and ordinary
Pianos are taken in part exchange, full value being allowed.

m from a Woman s

Deauiy point of view

From a woman's point of view beauty is a quality
that enables her to successfully appeal to the admira¬
tion of others—men and women. She never fully
succeeds, however, if she neglects her complexion, which
is the real foundation and fundamental principle of
beauty. And few things are so easy for a woman to
achieve as this beauty of complexion. With

Pears’ Soap

it comes as naturally as the habit of washing the
skin. There is an immediate freshening response when
the skin feels the soft, smooth, emollient touch of this
famed beauty soap. It is nature stimulating nature.

Bibendum is evidently
going to be housed by the
Michelin Tyre Company in a
truly palatial dwelling in the
Fulham Road. The site —an
island site, by the way—has
an area of more than 22.000
square feet, and possesses
four frontages, so that there
will be plenty of air, light,
and space. Fulham Road,
011 which the principal front¬
age lies, is one of the greatest
exits of London, and is easily
accessible for all motorists.
Doubtless, hundreds have
already noticed Bibendum
himself standing by the
notice-board announcing the
fact of the new site. The
Michelin Tyre Company hopes
to enter the new premises to¬
wards the end of the year.

August 25.—September 6.

TWO NEW NOVELS.

" A Corn of Wheat.” Th , e «°, s P el of the return to
nature takes many forms; but
few, we think, so nakedly unattractive as the version
preached by Miss E. H. Young in “ A Com of Wheat"
(Heinemann). Judith, the heroine, is not to be under¬
stood to be a decadent; rather she is a primitive person,
throwing back to " natural ” instincts for her rule of life.
She is introduced as a large young woman of the Juno
type, who distresses a conventional sister-in-law by sleep¬
ing in pyjamas in a tent, and who is essentially an indi¬
vidual without affections — witness her attitude towards
her small nieces and nephew. She rejoices in the wind,
in the unclouded nights of stars, in solitude, in dabbling
barefoot in the dew, and breasting the flailing autumn
rain. Other people have enjoyed these things without
being obsessed by their pleasure ; but let that pass.
The wild creature’s mating desire comes upon Judith,
and she accepts a lover of a season, to repulse him,
to the poor young man’s proper bewilderment, when
he proposes orthodox matrimony. She yearns for a
child, but she is too untrammelled to weigh the
cost of her caprice to the life she calls into exist¬
ence. In short, Judith, who seems to find favour with
her author, stands revealed as a rampant individualist,
for whom all the world might go hang so long as she
could pursue her own immediate object. She is a rever¬
sion to a type lost in the mists of antiquity, free-living
indeed, but undisciplined by the greater law of life that
has decreed the community to prevail against the unit,
and the bond of the family to withstand even the call of
the wild. Her story is cleverly written ; but it fails to
convince us that Judith’s indulgence of her primitive
impulses arose from anything better than sheer egoism.

’ Samuel the Seeker.”

“Samuel the Seeker” (John
Long) stands at the opposite
pole to the unfettered Judith, perhaps because he was
raised in America, where individualism is less of an
aesthetic hobby and more of a menace. Samuel found
himself “ up against it ’’ at an early stage in his career,
when his poor eighty dollars were stolen from him, and
he was reduced to beggary in the streets of Lock-
manville. He was extraordinarily guileless, and he
had a knack of ^accepting the word of the first per¬
son who came along, so that it is easy to see he
was born to trouble. His first brush with the law of
the United States came when he was charged with
vagrancy, and only escaped imprisonment by a fluke.
Mr. Upton Sinclair breaks a lance against constituted
authority wherever he finds it, and his pictures of the
maintenance of order and the administration of justice
in the Laad of the Free are warranted to make a
timid mortal’s flesh creep. Poor Samuel, who thought
Christianity would be practised as it was preached,
soon found himself embroiled with the respectable
leaders of St. Matthew's congregation, who were “ graft¬
ers ” one and all. Socialism is the cure suggested for
a civil life as rotten, as tyrannical, as degrading as
the one Mr. Sinclair constructs in his typical American
manufacturing town.

THE LAW OF LIBEL AND THE PRESS.

I T is frequently evident that there is considerable room
for improvement in the law of libel as affecting
newspapers, which are at times in some danger of being
practically blackmailed on account of unintentional
errors that are made a pretext for claiming damages.
General sympathy and support will doubtless be ac¬
corded, therefore, to Mr. Walter Judd, who is making
strenuous efforts to bring about an alteration of the law
in this respect. Messrs. Heywood and Co., of which firm
Mr. Judd is chairman and managing director, publish
several important trade journals, which naturally touch
on bankruptcies and similar matters, and they have
experience of blackmailing claims. Most reasonable
people, of course, will accept a newspaper’s apology
in the case of an inadvertent mistake. It is a very
different matter where there is deliberate malice. But
when a paper is conducted in the public interest, and
makes every effort to ensure accuracy, the law should
protect it against blackmailing charges, and claims
for damages should not be permitted in such cases.
Mr. Judd’s suggestion is that, “ in any action brought
against a proprietor, printer, or publisher of a newspaper
in respect of any defamatory matter published therein,
the defendant shall be at liberty at any time or from time
to time to apply to a Judge or Master of the Supreme
Court for an order that the plaintiff do give security for
costs of his said action, and if security be not given
within a time named in such order, the action shall be
dismissed. The Judge or Master shall make such order
as aforesaid, if it appears that the said defamatory
matter was published in good faith and without express
malice."

T HREE towns—Le Havre, Trouville, and Deauville—
will take part in the great aviation meeting to be
held at the mouth of the Seine from Aug. 25 to Sept. 6.
The first four days, from Aug. 25 to 29, the meeting
will be at Le Havre, and will be continued from Sept. 2
to 6 in the grounds of Saint-Arnoult, adjacent both to
Trouville and Deauville. The final event will be flights
over the Seine Bay from Havre to Trouville.

Unlike the Channel flights of Bleriot, De Lesseps,
and Rolls, which were only witnessed by a chance few,
this oversea flight from Havre will afford an opportunity
to thousands of spectators.

The International Aeronautic Federation, to which
the Aero Club of Great Britain is affiliated, has arranged
to hold its congress during the Havre Meeting. An
exceptionally good service of boats between Southampton
and Havre, with day and night crossings, has been
arranged for the fortnight.

"ANXIOUS MOMENTS” AT THE FOLKESTONE BEAUTY-SHOW; AND OTHER SKETCHES BY FRANK REYNOLDS.

Appropriately enough, the Beauty-Competition at Folkestone, held for the purpose of choosing a Beauty-Queen to reign in England for a year, was won by an English girl. Miss Mamie Whit tak er
of Hyde Park Gate, who thus won the right to wear a crown and royal robe for three hundred and sixty-five days. It is understood that the new “queen** has been offered a part in the United
States tour ot “Mr. Preedy and the Countess.” It was arranged that Miss Whittaker and the five ladies next in order of voting should compete against foreign “queens” and representatives in

the International Beauty Show set down to be held at Folkestone yesterday (Friday).

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Aug. 13. 1910.-232

QOMEBODY recently ventured to say somewhere that
^ a Scotchman was not, perhaps, in all - respects
exactly the same as an Englishman. Upon which the
Times and the Spectator both said together, with the
loud promptitude and precision of a couple of alarum
clocks, “Do you want the Heptarchy?” As I am
used to these papers waking up suddenly from time to
time and saying this, it did not surprise me ; and
I could supply without reading the rest all the trium¬
phant contrast drawn by the learned writers between
our united and glorious British Empire and the well-
known details of a Heptarchic existence. The answer
to the question seems to me simple and
crude. “ I never tried the Heptarchy.

It was before my time. But 1 have
tried our united and glorious British
Empire ; and 1 know it is chaotic, hys¬
terical, immoral, inconsequent, incom¬
petent, and very badly governed. And
its weaknesses and perils are not such
as any mere governmental unity can
either control or cure. Merely uniting
people under one flag or one police
does not strengthen them if their lives
are all disruptive and incompatible, if
their economics have gone rotten or
their morals gone mad. It does not
safeguard a district that all its soldiers
wear the same kind of clothes if half
.ts population wears hardly any kind
of clothes; nor is the word Union (to
which I bow my head seven times) by
any means so uplifting and patriotic
when it means for most people the
workhouse. The large modern State
does not secure genuine unity at all.

Many of the large States are simply
large anarchies—America, for instance.

The United States are essentially dis¬
united States. No doubt some of our
British patriots would like to swamp us
in the American civilisation, offering the
Anglo-American throne to Mr. Roose¬
velt. But I am by no means cer¬
tain that Theodore, King of the
Anglo-Saxons, would be so much bet¬
ter a ruler than Alfred, King of the
West Saxons.

When I think of King Theodore I
confess 1 think the Heptarchy a sane
and practical alternative. 1 know how
King Theodore would rule his huge and
duplex Empire : by newspaper interviews,

Masonic banquets, and a general moral
show of everybody minding everybody
else's business. I know how he would
explain England to America and Am¬
erica to England, and explain them
both wrong. I know how the Baptist
ministers in Plymouth would settle the
negro problem in Florida ; I know how
the Baptist ministers in Boston would
settle the wayside inns of Kent.

Endless denunciations of distant vices,
endless defiance of distant dangers ;
endless exploiting of people who know
nothing by people who know too much ;
endless entanglements between the
worst indecency of rabbles and the
worst secrecy of oligarchs; the poor
rioting for what they do not know, and
the rich scheming for what they dare
not say ; all the facts fourth - hand and all the
principles fourth-rate — these, palpable and visible
before us, are the actual fruits of Union, of the large,
highly organised modern State. And. above all,
this evil is branded on the brow of it, that each
group or neighbourhood has too much power outside
its borders and too little inside. Norwood can in¬
terfere with Natal, but it cannot govern Norwood.
Surrey can insult Servian tyrants ; but it must submit
to Surrey tyrants. Lewisham cannot be a law to

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

itself; it can only manage to be a sort of mild anarchy
to the Tsar. Brighton may slightly disorder Spanish
affairs ; but it cannot order its own. The Londoner is
a slave in London by the same political process that
makes him a tyrant in Cork.

Now I fancy that under that hearty and typical
Little Englander, King Alfred the Great, Wessex was
practically governed very much more after the manner
of Wessex men. Alfred the Great may be called the
splendid and supreme Little Englander; for he was
deliberately content with something even littler than

JOHN POYNTZ SPENCER. K.G.. P C.. D.C.L, LL.D.. FIFTH EARL.

John Poyntz Spencer, the fifth Earl, was born in 1835. He was educated at Harrow and Trinity College,
Cambridge, taking the degree of M.A. in 1857, the same year in which he succeeded to the title. He also
received various honorary degrees—the Hon. D.C.L. of Oxford in 1863, and the Hon. LL.D. of Cambridge,
Dublin, and Wales. In 1859 be became Groom of the Stole to the late Prince Consort; and he acted In the same
capacity to King Edward (then Prince of Wales) from 1862 to 1866. Two years later Earl Spencer was appointed
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, a post which he occupied for six years, and again from 1882 to 1885. He was
twice Lord President of the Council in the ’eighties, and in 1892 he became First Lord of the Admiralty.
In 1901 he was made Keeper of the Privy Seal of the Duchy of Cornwall, an office which he resigned three
years ago, together with the Chancellorship of Victoria University. He married in 1858, Charlotte Frances
Frederica, daughter of the late Mr. Frederick Seymour, of the Marquess of Hertford's family. Lady Spencer
died in 1903.

England. Of all those qualities in Alfred which are
so rootedly and refreshingly English, none was more
English than his instinctive opposition to Imperialism.

When the course of events and the example of other
conquerors should naturally have led him to press his
frontiers further and further, and attempt an utter ex¬
pulsion of Danes, he dwelt contentedly within moderate
dominions, to which he never added but in self-
defence. And I am quite sure that it was because his
kingdom was a small one that it came to be called a

golden kingdom and his reign a golden Xcr

only was Alfred the Great a Little England^* but jr
was exactly because the England was little, .ripial the
Alfred was great.

Therefore I venture to say, with great sei7©u>n^-
that when people talk about the horrors of Springing
back the Heptarchy, they should be politely asked
how much they or anybody else know about the Hept¬
archy— whether we do not know too little about th»
Heptarchy and rather too much about the Unior
Alfred, of course, lived after the Heptarchic. ttine and
in a British Empire not quite as big
as a modern small nationalijar. Tbe
founders of the house of Wessex had
doubtless extended their domain^; AJfr^
only defended them. But it is perfectly
typical of the ancient wholesome in-
stincts of mankind that the aaan wbe
has been loved for a thousand years is
not the man who took, but Hie man
who defended; not the conqueror, but
the man who was nearly conquered.
Egbert, perhaps, was an Imperialist;
that is why he is not called Egbert
the Great. In those ceremonial eulogies
upon Alfred which are now from timr
to time pronounced by persons of
another religion, and sometimes of
another race, it has become customary
to represent him as the founder of the
Navy League and the Imperial Liberal
Council. They try to make out that
his wretched, reasonable little fleet
against the pirates was the foundation
of the British Navy. But it is not in
this way that the historic cult of Alfred
can be understood. The cult of Alfred
rs, and has always been steadily for
ten centuries, a popular cult. As with
all really great men, the legends are
more appropriate than the facts. School¬
children and servants are still as pleased
with the idea of his singing in disguise
in the Danish camp as with the idea of
a royal Duke dressed as a nigger
minstrel. They still like the idea of the
King minding cakes, as they would like
the idea of the Pope toasting muffins.
All the facts remembered about Alfred
(it should be noted) are little physical
facts — that he carried a note-book in
his bosom, that he learnt as a boy out
of a bright-coloured book; that he
made clocks of candles. For a thousand
years a million people have known
these things, who cared nothing for
the translation of Boethius or the
Treaty of Wedmore — or the Pact of
Chippenham, as a distinguished his¬
torian irritates me by calling it. Now,
Alfred had other lessons for the
savages and heathen anarchists with
whom he fought. To them he might
well stand for peace and for trans¬
lations from the Latin. But his lesson
for us is the lesson of simplicity and
actuality. His message to us is a
message of cakes and candles, of
things plain like the spelling-book and
personal like the note-book. For what
is wrong with our civilisation can
be said in one word—unreality. We
are in no danger either from the vices or the
virtues of vikings ; we are in danger of for¬

getting all facts, good and bad, in a haze of high-
minded phraseology. And if the people of Wessex
(which still exists) want to survive these dark ages
as they survived the dark ages of old. they must
ask definitely for what they want, for the Wessex
cakes and Wessex candles and Wessex alphabet,
and certainly not accept the word “Heptarchy" as
an answer.

A SHEEP-DOG 14 YARDING ” A CHICK INTO AN EMPTY JAM-TIN: COIL AND HIS LITTLE CHARGE.

At the Wiltshire and Gloucestershire Sh-ep-dog Trials, held in Lord Estcourt a park, ac Tecbury. the other day# the judge stated his belief that a Welsh smooch.haired collie named Pink is the
best sheep-dog in the world It would be interesting to know how Pink would compare with his New South Wales cousin. Coil, now on Boolardie Run, Western Australia. Coil is (or
was until lately) the champion sheep-dog of Australia. In addition to performing the ordinary trial of driving three sheep round and through obstacles before "yarding’' them into a hurdle-pen
guided only by whistles and signals from a distance, he finds amusement in "yarding" a tiny chick into an empty jam-tin. This, as may be readily imagined, is a task calling for great
delicacy, for if it be hurried the chick is likely to become exhausted or sulky. Coil has learnt his task so well that he never fails to drive the chick into the tin. Having done this, he lie 9

who have just been ap¬
pointed, the name of Mr. Horace Avory is very well known
to the public. Mr. Avory was bom in 1851, and was educated
at King’s College, London, and Corpus Christi College, Cam¬
bridge, where he took the degree of LL. B. He entered at
the Inner Temple, and was called to the Bar in 1875. After
building up a successful private practice, he was appointed,
in 1889, Junior Counsel to the Treasury at the Central Criminal
Court, and became Senior Counsel ten years later. His know¬
ledge of criminal law is probably unsurpassed. He has also
held the office of Recorder of Kingston-on-Thames. In
1877 Mr. Avory married Miss Maria Castle, daughter of
the late Mr. Henry Castle.

The other newly appointed Judge of King’s Benrh,
Mr. Thomas Gardner Horridge, K.C., was called to the
Bar at the Middle Tem¬
ple in 1884. and be¬
came a King’s Counsel
in 1901. He has been
attached to the North¬
ern Circuit. In 1906
Mr. Horridge defeated
Mr. Balfour at a mem¬
orable election in East
Manchester, for which
division he sat as a
Liberal until the last
election, when he did
not again become a
candidate. He is a son
of Mr. John Horridge,
of Bolton, and he mar¬
ried Miss Evelyne San-
dys, daughter of Mr.
Melvill Sandys, of Lan-
arth, Cornwall.

Mr. Edmund Pike,
whose death has just
occurred, was once a
familiar figure at the
House of Commons,
where he held the posi¬
tion of Postmaster for a quarter of a century. Born in 1838,
of Somersetshire parents, he began his career as a journalist,
and was for three years, 1855-58, on the staff of the
Wells Journal. In the latter year he entered the Postal
Service, and it was just twenty years later that he received
the appointment at Westminster. He retired in 1903. It is an
interesting fact that his private residence was in Hilldrop
Crescent, Camden Town, so that the Crippen case must
have, as it were, touched him nearly.

When he met with his fatal accident in a taxi-cab col¬
lision at Brussels, Mr. Oscar Guttmann was serving as one of
the British jurors at the Exhibition for sporting and hunting
equipment. He was a recognised authority on explosives,
had written many books on the subject, and had designed
numerous manufactories of explosive chemicals in different
countries, including

Lord Decies, who has succeeded to the title, as the fifth

He was born in 1866 and is unmarried. In 1896 - 97 he

mentioned in dispatches. In the South African War he
commanded a battalion of Yeomanry. He next saw set vice
in Somaliland in 1903-4. when he was in command of the
Tribal Horse, and gained the D.S.O. He has twice
acted as an aide-de-camp, in 1888-9 to Lord Connemara,
when the latter was Governor of Madras, and in 1900-1 10
the Duke of Connaught
in Ireland. The heir-
presumptive to the peer¬
age is now the eldest
of his three brothers, the
Hon. Robert Beresford.

that the dispute be¬

the Spanish Government
with regard to religious
matters in Spain came
to an open rupture when
the Spanish Ambassa¬

time that Senor de Ojeda

was recalled was delivered, not by him, but by the Charg6

through the Vatican’s demanding that the Spanish Government
should rescind certain measures it had taken with a view to
reducing the number of Roman Catholic monastic establish¬
ments in Spain, and to extending the privileges of othe:
denominations.

Several important new Diplomatic appointments have re¬
cently been made—namely, those of Sir George Buchanan
as Ambassador at St. Petersburg, Sir Ralph Paget as Envoy-
Extraordinary and Minister- Plenipotentiary at Belgrade, Sir
Vincent Corbett as Minister Resident at Munich, and Mr.
Evelyn Grant-Duff, second son of the late Sir Mountstuart
Grant-Duff, as Minister Resident at Caracas. Sir George
Buchanan, who is the son of Sir Andrew Buchanan and was
born in 1854,

that he had been
Agent and Consul-
General in Bulgaria,
with the rank of Min¬
ister- Plenipotentiary,
and he showed great
tact and firmness in
handling the delicate
situation which arose
on the declaration of
Bulgaria’s independ¬
ence. The Bulgari¬

THE ACCIDENT TO THE '* SHAMROCK " WHILE KING ALFONSO WAS ABOARD.

SIR THOMAS LIPTON’S CRAFT AFTER THE MISHAP.

While King Alfonso was aboard the "Shamrock’* at Cowes, her 50-ft. topmast fell, breaking the Jack-
yard of the topsail, damaging the topsail and the bowsprit spinnaker, but fortunately not harming anyone.
It will be recalled that "Shamrock II." lost a mast nine years ago, when King Edward was aboard.
King Alfonso remarked that this was the fifth yacht accident he had been in. Elsewhere in this number
will b« found a drawing by Mr. Padday of a dismasted yacht being helped in compliance with Rule 40.

AN UNFORTUNATE SUBMARINE. THE CREW OF THE "A I.** ON WHICH A DISASTROUS
EXPLOSION TOOK PLACE ON SATURDAY LAST.

By an explosion of petrol gas on the submarine "A I** two officers, one petty officer, and four seamen were
injured. Petty Officer Biunsdon, the coxswain, was shot sixteen feet into the air. The photograph, taken
about a year ago, shows the whole crew except the two officers. The "A 1 " has been particularly unfortunate.
She was completed in 1903. Seven men were injured on board her at Barrow before she came into the bands
of the Naval authorities. In the following year she was sunk by a liner, and the whole crew drowned.

JUST OPENED TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE EASTERN CRYPT
UNDER THE GUILDHALL.

The crypt, which measures 77 feet by 46 feet, and is 13 feet in height, is divided into eastern and western
crypts, the former of which, the finer of the two, and believed to be the finest in the City, has just
been opened to the public. The age of the work is unknown. The eastern crypt was used until recently
as a kitchen; the other crypt is a storehouse. An excellent suggestion has been made that the quincentenary
of the Guildhall, which will be celebrated next year, shall be marked by the restoration of the western crypt.

week, on the strength of in¬
formation which was gener¬

we published photographs of
two German battle - ships,
Worth and Brandenburg ,

the Turkish Government. It
has since been made known
that these are rot the vessels
which Turkey has acquired
Irom Germany, but the bat¬
tle-ships Weissenburg and
A urfurst Friedrich Wil¬

latter vessels belong to the
Brandenburg class, and are
sister-ships to the two that
we illustrated last week, the

difference between them
is nominal rather than
material, and our photo¬
graphs may stand, at
any rate, for the type of
war-ship which Turkey
has obtained. The price
paid for them is nearly
,£900,000. According to
the tables added to the
German Navy Law, it
had not been intended
to strike these vessels out
of the effective list of the

that he has done more in six months
to reform the government of New'

of hundreds of superfluous officials,
exposing cases of graft, and re¬

at Teheran in April, having been

presence tended to disturbances,
at the suggestion of the British and
Russian Governments. At Teheran,
in recognition of his services, the
Government lent him as a resid¬
ence Atabeg Park, where he‘ lately
collected a force of “ Fidais,” or
revolutionaries. These tha Govern¬
ment required him to disarm, as
they menaced the peace of the
capital; and the fighting last Sun¬
day, in which he was captured,
was due to his delay in obeying the
order. Thus the Persian Govern¬
ment has come to blows with its
former supporters, with whom only
a short timg before it had been,
ostensibly, on the friendliest of
terms. The British Legation, whose
grounds adjoined the park occu¬

was in the thick of the fighting, for
the Government troops attacked the

SCIENCE JOTTINGS.

MORE ABOUT ANTS.

C ONTINUING my remarks on Dr. W. M. Wheeler’s
interesting book on ants (Columbia University Press
and Macmillan) the first point again to be emphasised
is the evidence this work supplies of the evolution of
the ant-race from comparatively small be¬
ginnings onwards to a specialisation of life
and social duties which stands forth as one
of the most amazing features of the animal
world. Dr. Wheeler makes this point /

plain—in .fact, it may be described as the - , ' >

aim and purpoit of his work. Compared vAT

with bees and wasps, ants are very highly yKN

developed insects. It is not difficult, per-
haps, to account for the social phases of V

insect-life. Co-operation is seen, far down yS.

in the scale of being, among zoophytes and
other forms. It is the elaboration of the s x

social instinct which makes ant-life so in¬
teresting to the zoologist, and equally to the -

sociological student. One might, indeed, trxtilb Indus

be tempted to think that all social develop- Edoks o

work of nest-construction. A great number of leaves, we are
told, are fastened together by a fine white web, the leaves
being joined by their edges. The question now arises,

No less instructive are considerations which deal
with what we may call the mental side of ant-life.
It seems that the sense or faculty of smell plays a
highly important part in ant-existence. An authority
contends that the smell-sense is located in the antennae
or feelers, and that different joints of the feelers “are
specialised for the perception of different odours.”

Hearing seems to be a sense doubtfully
| developed in these insects, though traces
of auditory organs are not wanting in
some species. Perhaps, as Dr. Wheeler

/ puts it, ants exercise a sense of vibra¬
tion much to their advantage, and the
legs seem to play the chief part in making
J the insects acquainted with movements
^ / occurring in their environment. It v as

of the greater numbers. I can find no more remark¬
able illustration of the evolution of ant-habits than that
presented by certain families which manipulate leaves
in order to form dwellings. There are many species
which accomplish this task, and which have found it
to their advantage to substitute aerial habits for the
terrestrial ways of most of their neighbours. Thus Dr.
Wheeler describes for us, from Forel’s data, the habit

Honey Regurgitated by One Ant to Another.

“Ants were grouped in couples for the purpose of regurgitating’’

“ suddenly snapped up the droplet passing in front of it and made off.”

Whether we have regard to ant-structure itself
or to the phases of life which that structure sub¬
serves, from nervous system to feelers and from
jaws to legs, it must be confessed ant-existence
has hardly a parallel in the world of animals. Dr.
Wheeler’s book, 1 repeat, is a testimony to one of
the most wonderful phases which can be found in
our wonderful world. Andrew Wilson.

which has received attention from many naturalists.
It is not other kinds of insects alone which are
harboured by ants. We find in the list even mem¬
bers of the classes of spiders and crustaceans.
Dr. Wheeler says the list of ant-guests runs up to
a total of three thousand at least, the number
being probably greater. Some “ guests ” are treated
as enemies, because they attack isolated ants, or
feed on diseased or dead ants. Others play the
part of friends, and remove mites or parasites from
their hosts. Then, of course, we have the aphides
or plant lice, kept in ant-nests in order that they
may provide the honey juice of which ants are
fond. The aphides are regularly “milked” by
the ants that harbour them, and thus a certain
supply of what is both a food and a luxury is
readily procured.

The “sanguinary ants” are what Dr. Wheeler
calls the “facultative slave - workers.” Here, also,
we find gradations in the extent to which evolu¬
tion has operated to produce greater or less depend¬
ence of owners on slaves for the discharge of the
duties of the nest. For instance, in the case of
Formica safigtiinea , a typical slave-holder of Europe,
we may find the ants living both in independent
slaveless colonies, and in nests where the service is
slave - discharged.

These different forms of an ant known as Cryptocerus varians are as follows :

e. Female ; /. Male. Polymorphism among ants (to a less degree among
bees and wasps) represents a physiological division of labour. The different
castes here shown —worker, soldier, queen—are all varieties of the female.

At the second International Road Congress, held at Brussels, a discussion took place the other day as to the effect on vegetation of tarring the roads in order to prevent the clouds of dust
that are raised by motor and other traffic. The same question was discussed at the first congress, held in Paris two years ago. and further observations have since been made. The Superintendent
of the Walks of the Bois de Boulogne. M. Forcstier. has come to the conclusion that this tarring of the roads in the Bois has had a very bad effect on the neighbouring trees, shrubs, and

small plants like begonias and geraniums. The mischief has shown itself in the appearance of brown spots on the leaves, causing them to crinkle up. These results have been ascribed to the

constant raising of particles of tar, which stick to the leaves and have a caustic action upon them. Trees that are not near the tarred roads, apparently, have not shown these symptoms.
So far. however, it would appear that the Bois de Boulogne is singular in its experience of the harm done by tarred roads, and that similar ill-effects on vegetation have not been noticed in

other places, or, at all events, have not formed the basis for a report. The catalpa, it may be noted, is a genus of Bignoniaceae and is a native of Japan, China, North America, and the

West Indies. It takes its name from Catesby. who discovered it in Carolina in 1726. The ginkgo is a Japanese tree—" Salisburia adiantifolia.”

THE MYSTERY-SHIP OF THE BRITISH NAVY « THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW ARMOURED CRUDER ‘•LION," SAID TO BE SUPERIOR IN GUN-POWER TO EVERY BATTLE-SHIP

IN THE WORLD'S FLEETS.

Naturall7 enough, there are many details of the "Lion" that have not been made public. Possibly, indeed, there has been even more secrecy about her than is usual. Hence the fact that she has been called
"the mystery-ship of the British Navy.” It is said that she is to mount eight 13’5-inch guns, and that she has nine and three-quarter inches of side armour; that is to say, as much as the "St. Vincent"
class of " Dreadnoughts." If this be true, it may be said that the "Lion,” which is officially described as an armoured cruiser, is at least the equal of any battle-ship in the world. She was launched at
Devonport on Saturday of last week, and was named by Viscountess Clifden. She is the longest war-ship -her length over all is 700 feet. Her speed is set at twenty-eight knots, but she is expected to give

at least thirty knots for a short run.

Our Illustrations give a remarkably good idea of the progress that has been made in Naval construction. Nothing is more extraordinary, indeed, than the change that has taken place in our cruisers. To take only the

•he U of 70.000 horsepower; and she will have a speed of twenty-eight knots. The "Cressy" had a total gun-fire of 1960 pounds; her broadside gun-fire being 1360 lb. The "Lion's” total gun-fire U

Human

Documents from
the Middle Ages.

It was a pood idea,
and one which has
not been so com¬
pletely carried out
before in English, to
collect a proseantho-
logy of extracts from
mediaeval writings illustrating the life and manners
■L and ideas of the Middle Ages. The compiler of “A
V Medieval Garner" (Constable)', Mr G. G. ( <Milton, de¬
scribes his work as a collection of “human documents
from the four centuries preceding the
Reformation.” His aim has been to
provide readers who wish to get at the
real Middle Ages with actual contem¬
porary productions by which they can
check and estimate the allusions and
generalisations of historians. The
advantage of such a plan is obvious,
for what reader of history has not felt
a desire to verify references and look
up original authorities in order to form
an independent judgment ? “ The

records here printed,” Mr. Coulton tells
us, “represent thirty years’ study among
all kinds of medieyal writings. . . .

They have been chosen as specially
characteristic of the period. . . . Drawn
from six different languages, the large
majority of these extracts are here
translated for the first and perhaps the
last time, since they are only the cream
from bulky and often inaccessible vol¬
umes. A few are from manuscripts.”

The. book is. he concludes, the “ first
attempt in English to cover Medieval
Life as a whole.” The arrangement of
the volume — a goodly, portly tome of
over seven hundred pages—is admir¬
able, and the print is large and clear;
each extract is preceded by a note
sufficiently explaining its source, and
a short glossary is given at the end ;
the text itself is practically free from
foot - notes. There is a number of
interesting illustrations, mostly repro¬
duced from old books and manuscripts.

Over three hundred extracts are given,
from a large variety of recondite
mediaeval authors A
few examples will give
an idea of the kind
of material here pre¬
sented—“The Earliest
Recorded Alpine
Climb ” (from Vincent
of Beauvais); “Vivisec¬
tion ” (Guibert de
Nogent); “The Jack¬
daw of Rheims” (“Ex¬
ordium Magnum Cister-
ciense”) perhaps the
earliest version of the
famous legend; “Al¬
sace in 1200 A.D.”

(“ Chronicle of Col¬
mar ”) ; “ An Oxford

Brawl” (Matthew
Paris) ; “ A Christmas
Pageant ” (Joannes de
Caulibus) ; “ Witch¬

craft Extraordinary ”

(ClnoniquedeSt. Denis).

Altogether, the book
fulfils its purpose excel¬
lently. Read in conjunc¬
tion with a continuous
history or with knowledge
of the period, and also
with the requisite touch
of imagination, it calls
up a picture of mediaeval
life hardly to be got
otherwise than by long
poringover dustytomes.

interest in the
Hittite problem
followed the dis- v
coveries of Professor
Hugo Winckler, of
Berlin, whose ex¬
cavations at Bogliaz
Keui, in Cappadocia,
have enabled us to
identify that site with
the city of Khatti, the
ancient capital and centre of Hittite power. Here in \ ),Y
the ruins of an early Hittite palace were found, some / | i
four years ago. large numbers of clay tablets from the J - I
archives of Hittite kings of the fourteenth and thir- J \j
teenth centuries R.C. At that
period Babylonian writing 'J
was in common use through¬
out the Nearer East, and the Babylo¬
nian tongue was tin* language both of
commerce and diplomacy ; it is for
this reason the newly found documents
present less difficulty than the hiero¬
glyphics on the rocks. For although
many are in the ancient Hittite tongue,
they are written throughout in the
cuneiform characters of Babylon, and
so their phonetic rendering is certain.
It >s nearly three years since Professor
Winckler gave us a summary of the
results obtained from a preliminary
study of his new material. Ill health
has since retarded his publication of
the actual texts, and scholars still await
the opportunity of testing his conclu¬
sions, and of carrying their study
further by attacking problems still
unsolved. There has also been a
lull in the work of discovery and ex¬
cavation, due to recent events in

Turkey. It was thus a happy i bought
of Professor Garstang’s to collect all
that is at present known of tlie Hittites
and their remains, and to summarise
the material in a popular and read¬
able form. Professsor Garstang him¬
self has already partly excavated

the Hittite site of Sakje-Geuzi, and
he has visited and taken photographs
of many of the Hittite monuments
during his journevs in Asia Minor.
His practical acquaintance with the
country has stood him in good stead.

both in his descrip¬
tion of the monuments
themselves and in his
treatment of the his¬
tory. As his book

appeals to the general
reader, he has been

well advised to devote
some space to a sketch
of the strange geo¬
graphical conditions
which exerted so strong
an influence on the
development of this
ancient inland power.
On the other hand, the
archaeologist will find
his bibliography to the
monuments very useful
for reference. A notable
feature of the hook is
the numerous illustra¬
tions, which. apart
from views of purely
Hittite monuments,give
an excellent idea of
the country and its
present population.
They also include views
of buildings and re¬
mains of classical
and mediaeval antiquity
at Ephesus. Angora,

places visited by Pro¬
fessor Garstang in the
course of his work.
It should be added
that an ini reduction

Qtf-Tlfc OF-Tlfll y /LtL

W HTHOU wouldst understand the history of Egyptian
J- patriotism, O my brother ; wouldst behold its secret
beauty, feel its inner joy? Then I will teach thee, and
thou, in thy turn, canst teach the people in the villages.

In the name of Allah, merciful, compassionate, know—
first of all — that the English who have seized all the
higher posts and their emoluments, by nature ours, who drink
our country’s wealth, which is her life-blood, day by day, are
nothing better than mad brutes and savages. Thou knowest
by what unfair tricks they stole our Egypt, the most peaceful
and inoffensive of all regions upon earth ; how they bombarded
Alexandria before Ardbi was quite ready, how they fell upon
the sleeping camp at Tel-el-Kebir. By such foul means they
got possession of us. They
are quite uncivilised.

True, as I told thee, they are quite uncivilised. U
It is said that they god - damn and even kick each
other as a sign of friendship. That is a kind of friendship
which we do not love. We of Egypt are a civilised people,
and demand urbanity in these our visitors. Their native
language is compact of impoliteness, and they preserve its
forms in their endeavours to speak Arabic. Thus even to
our greatest, they call out “Come hither!” instead of
begging: “Honour me as far as here”; and ask rudely,
“Where are you going? ” instead of “What place is
it thy design to honour?” Such rude speech, such in¬
decorous behaviour, makes us
shudder.

Yet we received them with
politeness as our conquerors,
and did our best to make
them feel at home among us ;
we loaded them with gifts and
honours ; we deferred to them.
And in return they undertook
to teach us all the formulas of
civilisation and advancement,
that presently we might con¬
trol ourselves a(id do without
them. We trusted in their
word, and studied greedily.
But their word is false. They
are known through all the
world as the worst of liars.
Look at me, now seated here
before thee. I am a civilised
man, most highly educated,
having mastered every formula
of Frankish learning. Am I
not, tell me, as well qualified
to fill a high position in the
Government as any of those
red-faced cubs sent out from
England ? I do not boast, by
Allah ! I have proved that I
know more than they do. Hear
a story, O beloved. It will
make thee smile at their gross
ignorance, while calling curses
on their mad brutality.

One day I had a conver¬
sation with an Englishman
who had come out to instruct
us in the school. He seemed
more amiable than others of
his race; he smiled upon me,
and I attached myself to him
with intent to sound his under¬
standing. In the course of a
friendly talk, I expressed in
all politeness the desire that
he would deign to recite a
certain proposition of the feli¬
citous and learned Euclid, his
compatriot. This Euclid. I must tell thee, is their great
philosopher — their only writer who possesses what we call
real subtlety. I asked him, as I tell thee, to recite a piece

from Euclid. He called me ass. The rudeness ! But I over¬
looked it. “Ah,” I exclaimed in surprise, “indeed? You
do not know that lovely passage ? It is so exquisitely
reasoned, so poetical. Wait, and you shall hear it. I
will speak it to you.” Therewith, I began to recite the
passage loudly in the English tongue.

Taib Wad Yacub, Son of Yacub, tub
Dervish Emir who was the Brother
of the Khalifa Abdullahi, and was
Killed at the Battle of Omdurman,
September 1898. (Aged about 17.)

Just Allah ! How shall I relate what then occurred ?
O my despair! What grief! What bitter ignominy! He
god-damned me, O my friend, and called me fool. He
interrupted my choice phrases impolitely. And when I then
grew angry and denounced him for a know - nothing, he
hit me — O Protector ! — he hit me on the chest—a fearful
blow! How can he be civilised, since he hit me! Is he
fit for an instructor when he hates the works of Mister
Euclid, the greatest of his country’9 sages, who—alas !—is
dead. Am not I, Hasan, the urbane and erudite, more
suited to instrucr mankind than he is ?

Listen, and 1 will tell thee of a still more dreadful case—
one that can only be made known in whispers. Thou
knowest, or at least hast heard of Mansur Bey, the son of
Ali. There is no man in Egypt more polite and civilised.

Shhikh Hlssein Sherif. Son of the Khalifa
Sherif and the Mahdi’s Daughter, and thus
Grandson of the Mahdi who Died at Om-
durman. (Aged about 19.)

DESCENDANTS OF THE MOST MODERN MAHDI
AND OF TWO OF HIS FAMOUS FOLLOWERS.
PUPILS OF UNCOMMON INTEREST AT THE
GORDON COLLEGE, KHARTOUM.

It is of exceptional interest to note that two grandsons
of the most modern claimant to the title of Mahdi, the
Messiah of the Mohammedans (Mohammed Ahmed;
born at Dongola in 1843; died at Omdurman in 1885)
are being educated at the Gordon College, at the
Government’s expense, in company with Yacub and
Ahmed Fedil, and Sheikh Mohammed el Mahdi. The
title “Sherif” means “nobleman,” and is applied to
all the descendants of the Prophet.

Since they are rough to
us and hurt our ears with
unkind speeches, we withdraw
ourselves from their society,
we scorn them. Moreover, we
have started a sporting club
on the model of that they
frequent, by means of which
we shall become their equals in
brutality. Then, in sh'Allah,
they will learn to respect us
and to take us seriously.

We have assured them
repeatedly that we are now
completely civilised and edu¬
cated, prepared to fill the
richest posts in our own land.
The Lamented of the Country,
and of the East and of El
Islam, the Recipient of God’s
mercy, Mustafa Pasha Kamil,
told them so a thousand times ;
and he was one who knew
their way of thinking and could
present ihings palatably to
their understanding. Yet they
refuse to hearken. They
declare we are no judges of
our own efficiency. What
duplicity! Who should be
judge on such a point if not
ourselves ? We must know
more of our own thoughts and
aims than they do.

They say that we still lack
their grand “karakter” (though
no one knows exactly what that
is); that we never put our
knowledge into practice. Who,
then, can join together things
which Allah has created sep¬
arate ? Knowledge is of the
imagination—one thing; prac¬
tice is of the limbs and senses—
quite another. They have a
proverb saying “Knowledge is
power.” We learnt it at the primary school, and put our
trust in it. But they take care that it shall not be power
to us Egyptians. What impious traitors thus to belie iheir
proverb, to disobey a word from their own Scriptures !
Behold them worse than Christians—they are Atheists. Oh, the
shame for us to harbour in our country men like that, who
despise our understanding and heap scorn on 11s ! It burns
the heart ; it turns the blood to gall ; the world is blackened
in our sight because of it. To me the approach of an English¬
man is like the approach of death—it makes me shudder.

Sheikh Mohammed Sherif, Son of the
Khalifa Sherif and the Mahdi's
Daughter, and thus Grandson of
the Mahdi who Died at Omdurman.
(Aged about 20.)

What is that thou sayest ? All this will not interest the
villagers ? They will look upon our ills as light to bear,
and hear our outcry as the voice of petted children ? Is it
possible that they are still so backward, that they have
learnt so little from our English teachers ? Wait till to¬
morrow! I will tell thee things to move them—tell thee of
our prowess and the power we wield already. To-morrow,
in s hi Allah, we shall be the rulers.

Let everyone who has a grievance look to us henceforth.
Let the villagers but know that we are now the people, that
the English fear us and give way to us, and I think they
will no longer feel indifferent to our fierce cries. To¬
morrow, then, I will instruct thee fully. Now I must be
going to my lesson at the school.

would have called it “tripe.” Scotland has no native-born
professionals, I think : but Rhodes was once professional at
Galashiels, and other good men have been engaged North
of Tweed. The Scottish schools contribute a much greater
percentage of football players to the Fifteens of Oxford and
Cambridge than of cricketers to the Elevens.

In my early boyhood, the head of our school in scholar¬
ship was also in the Oxford Eleven, for which he bowled, and
got a first in Greats. We have since got Firsts not a few,
but not a single Blue, at cricket at least, in my memory.

and a good eye, and practice, I doubt not that the batting-
will soon beat the googlie bowler, who flourishes most in
South Africa.

Readers of history, if old enough, will remember the long
war between Mr. Freeman and Mr. Horace Round as to the
existence of a defensive palisade in the English ranks at
the Battle of Hastings. Certainly things called fenestres
( fenestrae ), which we usually render “windows,” were em¬
ployed. Mr. Baring suggests that these were rude wooden
window-shutters, not worked into a palisade, but used as
shields by rustic Territorials, who had no regular shields.

It would not amaze me if he were in the right. On an
inglorious Waterloo day (June 18, 1429), the earliest military’

S CHOOL cricket has advanced greatly in Scotland since

Eleven of the Edinburgh Academy. In those dear and
distant days scores were very low, till, just after I left,
Mr. George Dunlop, Captain of the Eleven, made 387 in
three successive innings, once not out.

This year one Loretto boy, Mr. Hunting, has made over
a thousand runs during the school season, and his Captain—
whose name I do not know, ended his school career with
two centuries, both times not out. What the bowling was

that there is only one googlie bowler in England, and
that he is seldom able to appear in county cricket. If
Mr. Le Couteur, for Oxford and the Gentlemen, and Mr.

do not understand the meaning of that very undignified
term. A googlie is a ball delivered with the action
appropriate to a leg-break, I suppose, “instead of

Over-spin and inclined planes do the business, not

too many sympathetic thieves and burglars. But, con¬

other entertaining authors exist for our delight.

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

A UTOMOBILIS L'-> who sincerely desire an improvement
in the public estimate of motoring will learn with
pleasure that the Royal Automobile Club have, on the re¬
commendation of the expert and technical committee, decided
to include silencer and carburetter trials in their programme
of forthcoming events. Long before motor-cars were known
the German proverb had it that silence is golden, and certainly
that applies to-day to the automobile, for by that silence,
which is so distinctive of the breed, the Rolls-Royce Company
have acquired much of the precious metal or its equivalent.
Both silencer and carburetter trials are necessary to the
attainment of silence, and it is only by the published results
of tests such as will be carried out by the Club that the
public can become acquainted with the best apparatus of
the kind. It is regrettable that tests of lubrication systems
are not to be included, for the gravest offence of motor
vehicles to - day in the crowded streets of our cities and
towns is the emission of evil - smelling smoke due to faulty
lubrication systems.

A writer in the R.A.C. journal mentions a case in which
a driver of a car was seized with a fit while at the wheel, a
serious accident being only just averted by the fact that the
passenger in the car, realising the peril and knowing what
was necessary to be done, clambered over and switched off.
Such a seizure is happily of very rare occurrence, but all
motorists who have driven for any length of time know
how difficult it is sometimes to ward off sleep. Only the
other day a friend of mine, feeling
the taxi - cab in which he was
travelling taking a curiously zig
zagging course, looked up and saw
the driver nodding on his seat.

Luckily he was able to wake him
by shouting, but a serious accident
might very well have occurred. It
would seem that a safeguard should
be provided, in all closed cars at
least, by wiring up the ignition to a
switch within the body of the car, sp
that in case of such an occurrence
as that referred to above, the engine
could be stopped instantly, and
danger avoided.

In a circular addressed to its
large membership and drivers, the
Automobile Association very truly
says that in the pastime or occu¬
pation of motoring the car - driver
is an important factor. His interests
should be identical with, instead of
antagonistic to, those of the car-
owner Of course, this refers to
cases where paid drivers are em
ployed. For some time past there
has existed an association known
by the somewhat ponderous title
of the “ Society of Automobile
Mechanic Drivers.” This society

was formed and is administered Dy drivers, and their object
was to find situations and skilled drivers for men and
masters respectively. A very high standard of efficiency
was imposed upon the members, who, amongst other things,
were required to have had at least three years’ practical
driving and mechanical experience. Lack of funds alon^
has stood in the wav of this society’s expansion, and
as the Automobile Association, always sighing for new
worlds to conquer, had for some time contemplated a
practical organisation of members’ drivers for the benefit
of all concerned, an arrangement has been arrived at by
which the S.A.M.D. will in future enjoy the support and
countenance of the Automobile Association.

The new scheme is very comprehensive and would
appear to deserve support. The offices of the society
will be on the Association’s premises, and while the
society will continue to administer its own affairs in such
important respects as the examination and election of
candidates, the A.A. will have at its disposal the finest
possible medium for the employment of good drivers by
its members. As undesirable men will be rigidly ex¬
cluded, the S.A.M.D. cum A.A. man will have a cachet
which should ensure him good and permanent employ¬
ment. This society has the recommendation that it was
started in a small way by a few drivers, who were anxious
that the calling of the chauffeur should be rescued from
the disrepute into which it had fallen by the misdeeds
and hooliganism of many men who should never have been
allowed to sit behind a wheel. This admirable object
will be greatly advanced by the
present linking with the A.A.

Motor cyclists, who are a most
enthusiastic and clannish cult,
should not fail to peruse the ex¬
cellent and luminous report by the
judges of the late Land’s End to
John o’ Groats Trial, in which no
fewer than seventy - one machines
took part. Excellent and reliable
as many of these fascinating little
vehicles are, there would appear
still to be room for improvement.
Frames, however, are said to be
substantial, but more efficient cover¬
ings for free-wheel clutches are re¬
quired. In some cases front-wheel
brakes are still too light ; but, taken
as a whole, engines were clean and
efficient. As iu its bigger brother,
the motor-car, it would appear that
there is greatest room for improve¬
ment in the matter of transmission,
both chains and belts requiring
more protection from dust and mud.
Tyres have improved, silencers were
extremely satisfactory, but no im¬
provements in free engines or two-
speed gears were noticeable. The
perusal of this report is quite an
education.

“Will a 105 m/m Cover
fit a 90 m m Rim?”

There is no commercial misdemeanour worthier of severe
reproach than that of keeping from an interested public the knowledge,
and the means of making practical application, of a real improvement.

It is quite a while since the “tom-tom of advertising” announced
that a ioo m/m cover can be fitted to a 90 m/m rim. And it is some
considerable time, too, since a client first asked us: “ Can your
105 tyre be fitted to vour 90 rim?”

Our reticence has not laid us open to a charge of concealment of
knowledge, for, had we replied with an unconditional “ Yes,” we
would have launched our client upon the troubled waters of an
experiment. We preferred to wait awhile and investigate—with the
result that we gained a bit of practical experience which led us to
modify slightly the beads of our 105 cover, and which has enabled
us to say: “Yes; our present 105 m/m covers can easily be fitted
to our 90 m/m rims.”

Consequently, when you discover that your 90 m/m tyres are
too light for your car—and that roo m/m tyres make little or no
appreciable difference—you can take 105 m/m Michelin covers secure
in the knowledge that they will easily and safely fit your rims.

As regards the inner tube, either a 90 or a 105, of corresponding
diameter, can be used. It is, however, preferable to use a 90 tube ;
for when a 105 cover is fitted to a 90 rim, the space inside the cover
is rather less than normal. Consequently, a 90 tube, which would be
distended on a 105 rim, fits quite comfortably in a 105 cover on a
90 rim. On the other hand, a 105 m/m tube would be compressed
and rendered liable to crease, and would demand special care in
fitting, to avoid nips.

Another point:

‘The Bolt follows the Rim.’

That is to say : if you fit a 105 m/m cover to a 90 m/m rim,
you keep your 90 mini security bolts.

Assuming that you are using our Bolt Valve, a 90 m/m security
plate is essential in every case, whether you have fitted a 90 or a
105 tube.

Some of our clients, who are extremely anxious to use 105 m/m
tyres, hesitate over replacing their 90 m/m rims by 105 rims upon the
same wheels.

It is not, however, necessary to wait until the change can be
made ; for, as we have already said, you can fit 105 m/m covers to
your 90 m/m rims.

Of course, have the rims changed, by all means, when you have
time—but in the meantime remember that a 105 tyre, when fitted to our
90 rim, will give more satisfaction than any 100 m/m tyre. There is
an appreciable difference between 90 and 105 m/m covers.

LADIES^ PAGE.

T HERE are some fashions that are only suited for the
very slim ; even the moderately slender are ren¬
dered less graceful by the cut devised according to the
whim of the moment. The present style of skirt pre¬
cisely answers to this description. Very few women look
their best in the too-tight short skirts that hobble them
round the lower limbs below the knees, and deprive them
of hip-line as completely as Nature allows. A dress¬
maker who is an artist will always modify the mischief
of all fashions that she prescribes “ in the way of busi¬
ness ” : although her primary aim is to persuade women
of means that their perfectly good gowns must be
discarded as out-of-date, she makes it her secondary
study to turn out her clients with due regard to their
individual peculiarities, so that they shall always look
as smart as possible, and not “gawky.” The full
defects of a silly style, therefore, do not become ap¬
parent until it reaches the level of the dressinake? who
is a poor craftswoman. That stage, surely, the tight
hobble-skirts and straight-down figures have attained.
The preposterous, ungraceful shapes that are hobbling
about on the piers and parades of British seaside resorts
are grievous to the eye. True, not one woman in fifty*
even attempts to follow this ungainly fashion, and a few
of those who do adopt it, being slim and tall, and having
grasped the important point of having their gowns cut
short enough to clear the heel—a cardinal point in these
tight skirts—look well enough, but it is prevailingly so
ugly a fashion that I am glad to hear that the Paris
models that are now in preparation for the early
autumn show' a certain reaction against the over-tight,
narrow, ankle-long skirts. It is said that the early-
autumn skirts are to be cut a little fuller, and to fall
rather looser from a somewhat higher waist.

Some styles of dress seem inherently vulgar, and are
not, in fact, adopted in their full degree by women of
refined tastes. Neither Goodwood nor Cowes has seen
skirts excessively tightened round at the ankles. Tight
and short, indeed, the smart woman’s gowns undoubtedly
often are worn, but it is the suburban damsel only
who permits herself to present from the waist down¬
wards the tournure of a vulture squatting on a perch
in captivity. A graceful line is always preserved in the
really good gowns. The best Goodwood dresses were
of satin draped with ninon ; a particularly admired
one was in Eminence purple, with crossing lines of em¬
broidery of the same colour touched with gold on the
corsage and confining the skirt near the feet. Another
pretty frock was grey ninon veiling heliotrope satin, with
a band of orange satin, also veiled by the grey ninon,
round the ankles. -A Princess gown in Navy-blue crepe-
de-Chine was heavily embroidered round the collarless
neck and the feet with a design in high relief in pale
brown silk and gold thread, and was veiled with a tight-
fitting tunic of mousseline-de-soie (reaching only from
bust to knee) in the same blue, and embroidered across
beneath the bust and round the edge with the same

chocolate-silk and gold-thread design ; an immense hat
of Tagel burnt straw, with a wealth of white plumes,
completed one of the best toilettes noticed. So many
ladies, however, are still in black, and so many others
wore plain tailor-made coats and skirts, and, in addition
to this, the attendance was so far below the average, that
the dress was of comparatively little interest at what is
usually one of the smartest occasions of the whole year.

Fitness is the first cardinal point in dress. To
admire certain women in certain dresses might be
profitably translated by many of us into a warning,
rather than an example for ourselves. If an exagger¬
ation or a peculiarity suits a woman of a given type,
should not a woman of the exactly opposite build and
style receive this as a warning not to imitate? If a
fashion is so charming on that tall, willowy figure,
ought not that fact to advise the short and stout
matron not to adopt it? The big hat that gives grace
and importance to the well-built and imposing woman,
must it not overpower and distort the small, plump
one’s proportions? The collarless frock that shows so
beautifully the columnar throat and unwrinkled chin
of the handsome woman in her bloom, might effectively
inform the scraggy-neckcd giil or the matron of mam
chin - folds that another style will best become her
natural defects. The women who dress best, above all
those who discreetly *' make-up ” with any success, are
always stern self-critics, and blest with judgment enough
to do this effectively.

Japanese artistic effects, which we have this year an
opportunity of studying to perfection, are seen to be, to
a great extent, a question of detail. In their gardens,
we are informed, every stone laid to bolder the flower¬
beds or the basins of the fountains is carefully con¬
sidered in regard to its shape and its colouring, and
placed exactly where it will combine best into the
general scheme. In a lecture which I have heard on
“ Flower-Arranging in Japan,” Mr. Kijoma remarked
that to his people the term “flower” includes leaf, stem,
stump, and roots, as well as blossoms, each detail being
regarded as of equal importance. The blossom is the
chief element in the colour, of course ; but the foim of the
completed vase or bowl is considered as carefully as the
colour, and depends mainly on the shape and outline
of the leaves and branches, and their proper placing—
regulated by the aid of bent strips of lead in vases,
and also by pebbles and sand in bowls. A spray
of foliage, it is the Japanese rule, must separate every
two flowers of different colouis, and the tint of that
leafage must harmonise with that of the blossoms.
The Japanese flower-arranger imaginatively gives sex
to the colours, and “marries” them accordingly.
Yellow, blue, and white are delicate “female” tints,
and marry with the stronger “male” colours, scarlet,
pink, and purple; the “ male” tints and the “ female”
tints do not produce their decorative effects so well in
bachelor or spinster parties as when harmoniously
mated. Amateur arrangers of flowers may find in all
this hints both amusing and useful. FlLOMENA.

has hitherto probably been beyond the fondest
dreams of the lover of music. It need no longer be
so. The Aeolian Orchestrelle is a complete orchestra
embodied in one instrument which all can play in their own
homes. It is an instrument which is an unique privilege to all
those who take delight in good music. It is an instrument which
earlier followers of music would have given almost anything to possess. The
immense tone power and the marvellously faithful representations of the
tonal qualities of all the instruments comprising a full orchestra are a
revelation to all those who hear the Aeolian Orchestrelle for the first
time. The immortal works of the great orchestral composers can be played
by anyone just as an orchestra would play them. And no techni¬
cal musical knowledge is required. Just musical taste and insight
alone are all that is necessary to render the grandest of all
music in a way that is a delight to the most cultured ear.

You can call at Aeolian Hall whenever you care to and
yourself play some of your favourite music on the Aeolian
Orchestrelle. Catalogue No. 5, which gives a fuller descrip¬
tion, will be sent on application, but a visit sooner or
later is indispensable for no written description can
possibly do justice to the Aeolian Orchestrelle.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY FOR THE HAIR.

if your Hair is turning Grey or White or Falling Off, Use the

MEXICAN HAIR RENEWER

For it will positively restore, in every case, grey or white hair to its original colour, without leaving the disagreeable smell of most “ Restorers.”
It makes the hair charmingly beautiful, as well as promotes the growth of the hair on bald spots where the glands are not decayed.

This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural colour and gloss in from eight to twelve days.

It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition.

It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigour. Daily applications of this preparation

for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural colour and richness.

It is not a dye, nor does it contain any colouring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp,
or even white linen, but produces the colour within the substance of the hair.

It may be had of any Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in Toilet Articles in the Kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per Bottle. In case the dealer has not

“THE MEXICAN HAIR RENEWER”

in stock, it will be sent direct, carriage paid, on receipt of P.O., to any part of the United Kingdom.

WHERE THE GREAT BRUSSELS EXHIBITION FIRE IS SAID TO HAVE STARTED: IN THE BELGIAN BUILDING.

Tt is obviously impossible to say with certainty where the disastrous fire at the Brussels Exhibition had its beginning. Official inquiries may throw some light on the matter. Mean ime. ir may

be said that it is suggested that it had its origin in the Belgian Section, which adjoined the British Section. The cause of the fire is equally unknown. It has been alleged that the fiiemen's

pumps did not work well, und that there was a scarcity of water, and that these facts, in conjunction with a decision not to use dynamite to blow up buildings at the beginning of the hre

and so isolate the burning area immediately, had much to do with the widespread nature of the damage. It has been reported further that a number of actions are to be taken: indeed,
certain reports imply that everyone eoneerned may bring an action against some body or another. -[Photograph bv TqpicAi]

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

I N considering the great achievement of her life—the
organisation of the musing service and ilie military
hospitals in the Crimean War—it is someiinvs forgotten
how perfectly Florence Nightingale had fitted herself for
the task by her previous s'udies and experience. As a girl,
she became llie “ ministering angel ” of the village in
Derbyshire near her father’s estate ; and when she grew
up, she went forth on a systematic tom of practical study.
She visited all the hospitals in London, Edinburgh, and
Dublin, several in liiary and naval hospitals, and others
in the country; then she went to Paris, and studied at all
the hospitals there under the guidance of the Sisters of
Charity. From Paris she went to Kaiserwerth, on the
Rhine, where she received training as a nurse at the
Institute of Protestant Deaconesses. After that, she
visited hospitals at Berlin and many other German
towns, at Lyons, Rome, Alexandria, Constantinople,
and Brussels. When she returned to Derbyshire, in
1850, she was asked to reorganise the Home for Sick
Governesses in Harley Street, and, in spite of her need
of rest, devoted herself to the task, and also took an
active interest in London ragged schools and other philan¬
thropic efforts. So it was that, when the call came in
1854, it found her thoroughly equipped by almost ten
years’ scientific preparation. She was, in fact, the one
woman in the country who was capable of rising to the
occasion. When the news of the terrible condition of the
sick and wounded after the battle of the Alma reached
this country, the Secretary for War, Mr. Sidney Herbert
(afterwards Loid Herbert) instinctively turned to her for
help. His letter crossed one from her volunteering her
services. She left London, with the staff of thirty-eight
nurses whom she had selected, on Oct. 21, and arrived
at Constantinople on Nov. 4, the eve of Inkerman. All
the world knows what followed — how, in the face of
appalling difficulties and official mismanagement, she
reduced order out of chaos at Scutari, and became
the heroine of the suffering troops. “ Wherever there
is disease in its most dangerous form,” wrote Mr.
MacDonald, the almoner of the Times fund at the
front, “there is that incomparable woman sure to be
seen. . . . When all the medical officers have retired
for the night, and silence and darkness have settled
down upon those miles of prostrate sick, she may be
observed alone, with a little lamp in her hands, making
her solitary rounds.” After the Crimean War, Florence
Nightingale became the recognised head of the nursing
profession, which she practically founded. She was
always consulted, on the outbreak of any war, as to
hospital arrangements, and she even offered to go out
to India at the lime of the Mutiny. But her health had
broken down under the strain of the Crimea, and though
she took a mentally active part in furthering the great
movement she had initiated, she was compelled to pass
the rest of her long life in quiet retirement.

THREE NEW NOVELS.

4 . i u i »• Mr. Percy White has a way of
ihe st a o. illustrating mortal frailties through
the medium of flippant fiction. Incidentally, he never
fails to provide an amusing book, so that you may be
certain of being entertained, even while you are shocked
by his cynical estimate of mankind. “The Lost Halo”
(Methuen) is a capital novel, where the characters pur¬
sue their separate ambitions in the many-sided life of
modern London. Mr. White does not underestimate
the antiseptic properties of snobbery among the “ best
people.” Some day the part played in the advancement
of the British nation by that respectable failing will be
found worthy of investigation, and then, it seems pretty
plain, Mr. White will have to be cited as an authority.

“Younff Nick and ‘, f Mr - Crockett remains one of
those authors who have failed to
Old Nick. fulfil the full promise of their maiden

effort, he retains in his years of popularity the manner
that first attracted his public. He has an easy way with
him, which ingratiates him with a large circle of readers,
and only arouses resentment in a tew eccentrics who
hate to see a man consciously waggish or inordinately
pathetic. He has a facile pen, and a fertile imagination.
In “ Young Nick and Old Nick” (Stanley Paul) he is to
be found at his best and at his worst, for while the story
that gives its title to the volume is a capital sample of
the product of the Kailyard School, “ I he Terror of
Knderby’s n and “ Rosemary—for Remembrance ” are
poor, machine-made stuff. “Young Nick and Old
Nick ” treats of a subject that will never stale while
the world spins—the old romance of the voting man
courting Fortune with head and hands and courageous
heart, and winning her fickle favours by sheer force of
character. Young Nick is a canny Scot to the marrow :
we are not told of it, but there seems no reason to doul t
his advancement to wealth and civic dignity. The moral
of all this is praiseworthy, because Young Nick was not
only long-headed, but staunch in friendship and honest
in business. He wooed one of Mr. Crockett’s lovely
girls, and the only quarrel we have with their charming
story is that it might well have filled the book, instead ol
retiring early in favour of its less attractive companions.

-The Chosen of : Mnd , r T (since “ Little Henry and
. j his Bearer ) has hardly been well

the Gods, treafed by th0 Hterary world> if we

except Mrs. Penny. It is the Cinderella of India, this
strange land of paddy-fields and palm-trees, alien, .as
Mr. Kipling points out, to the people of the northern
provinces. Mr. Andrew Soutar, therefore, may be said
to break fairly fresh ground, although “ I he Chosen of
the Gods ” (Harper’s) must not be taken as a serious
contribution to Anglo-Indian literature, it is a highly
seasoned “shocker,” well peppered with the magic and
mystery of the East, and combining in a tasty mixture a
native conspiracy for the raising of another Great Mutiny,
the machinations of foreign spies, and the occult perform¬
ances of a young Krishna. These ingredients may keep
readers too busy to reject the vulgarity of the characters
and the intrinsic absurdities of the story, for they are
boldly mixed, and administered by a generous hand.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Aug. 20, 1910.- 267

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

\X 7 E few poor Radicals who alone reverence the
* * past, or seem to have any relish of the royal
chronicles of England, have lately been confronted with
a proposal calculated to make us take to our beds, to
laugh at leisure, or die in peace. For indeed the thing
passes all language, and is fit only for death or laughter.

It has actually been proposed in an English paper
that the King of England should consent to be called
Emperor of the British. The primary answer is obvious.
Why not Sultan of the British ? Why not Kaiser of
the British, or Pope of the British ? Why not Tsar ?
Why not Shah ? Why not Grand Lama of Great
Britain ? Why not Doge of the British Empire ? Why
not Stadtholder of the United States of Britain?
Why not Mogul of the Three Kingdoms ?

Why not Mikado of the Isles ? Why should
there be a Dey of Tripoli, and no Dey of «T~
Turnham Green? Why should Tartary have
had a Cham, while Tonbridge has no trace g*
of a Cham ? Why should we hear (with help-
less envy) of there having once been an ®j
Akond of Swat, when it is vain to hope for $8
any Akond of Surbiton ? I know not how to |»

comfort my fellow-countrymen for the loss of |g

all these sumptuous and soaring titles, ex-
cept by reminding them (however sad it may ||
seem) that they are a great people, with a
history of their own. We do not call our ‘g
ruler an Emperor for the same reason that fag
we do not call him a Brother of the Sun and
Moon ■ because it is our national tradition |s
to call him something else. Brother of the o
Sun and Moon is a much vaster and grander
title than either Emperor or King; and if •£)
you want something grander still, I am sure jjj|

I could invent it. Uncle of the Universe
would be good, or Cousin of the Cosmos.

These are greater titles than King of Eng- p
land—in mythology. But not in history.

At this rate all the old Republicans will
have to make a guard of honour round the
English throne. If the Imperialists do not
understand how great a thing is a King of
England, we do. Any greedy and nameless
adventurer who could master a few tribes or
steal a few provinces in dim Asia or bar¬
baric Central Europe could call himself an
Emperor. But even to call yourself King of
England was a great business; still more
to be one. To be a King like Edward I.,
or even like Edward III., is to look down
as from a pinnacle upon all the chance
brigands and freedmen and compromising
courtiers who have managed to “wear the
purple ” in the anarchies of East and West.
To call a British King, wearing the crown
of Arthur and Alfred, by the foolish foreign
name suggested, is to me almost madly
laughable : I would as soon call England by
the improved name of Heligoland.

who seemed incapable of spontaneous unity. When¬
ever some soldier of fortune managed by brute force to
make some welter of Goths and Huns and Iberians
behave itself for a month, he felt that he was reviving
the Roman Empire ; and, with rational truth and
very proper modesty, he called himself by the inferior
title of “ Emperor.” He was only an Imperator, a
Colonel reading the Riot Act, a soldier forcing peace
upon a miscellaneous Europe. So it is with those
unhappy men (perhaps the unhappiest of all modern
men) who have to rule the inchoate, the mixed,
the non-national parts of Christendom—Austria, Ger¬
many, and Russia. They , of course, call themselves by
the old rude military term, Caesar, Kaiser, Tsar—in
short, Field-Marshal. There is no nation for them to

Moreover, Emperor is not a higher grade
than King. Really the two things are on
different ladders ; they are in different scales and cate¬
gories, like a Knight-Banneret and an R.A. ; or like an
Arch-Druid and a Colonel of Volunteers. But in strict
truth, to make the King an Emperor is to degrade the
King to the rank of Commander-in-Chief. Lord Roberts
and Lord Kitchener are Emperors. The General in
Command of the Roman Army, who was called the
Imperator, became (very gradually and only to a slight
degree even officially) the tie and symbol of that
practical unity which the Roman Republic had made
throughout the known world. It was a unity resting
on military qualities, and therefore the military head
of the State, rather than the religious or the legal,
became the emblem and sacrament of its sway. But
almost up to the last the Imperator was supposed to
be an official, and not (in the full religious and
romantic sense) a King. The really patriotic peoples,
like France and England, had Kings—when they did
not have Republics. Emperors were always left for the
unpatriotic peoples—collisions and confusions of tribes

THE "LADY WITH THE LAMP": THE LATE MISS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
IN A GROUP AT ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.

Florence Nightingale became in her lifetime one of the heroines of history. Since her return
from the Crimea she had been an invalid, though she continued to take a leading part in
philanthropic movements. The Dean of Westminster, expressing the universal wish of the nation,
approached her relatives with a view to her being buried in Westminster Abbey, but as she had
given directions in her will for a quiet funeral, the executors felt compelled to decline the offer.
It has been arranged that she is to be buried to-day (the 20tb) at West Wellow, Hampshire,
where her parents rest, and that there shall be a memorial service at noon in St. Paul’s Cathedral.

embody and to be. There is still nothing but a whirl¬
pool of tribes and the tradition of the Roman arms.
But a King like St. Louis, a King like King Edward,
was a very different business. Royalty was the noblest
of all ideals—next to Republicanism. Nay, one may
go further: royalty was the most Republican of all
ideas, next to Republicanism.

Next after mankind, the most human thing is a
man. The old vivid nations said that if all men could
not rule, one man should rule ; but not some men—not
a picked cabal of the wealthy, the cultured, and the
cold-bloodedly impudent. The mediaeval monarchy in
the patriotic peoples (England, France, Spain, Scot¬
land) took this one man and made him part and
organ of the people: they offered him as flesh upon an
altar; they made him sacramental. If it was to some
extent idolatry, one may say in its defence that it was
also human sacrifice. For the darkest and grandest,
even if the bloodiest, of all mysteries is that where

there is blood shed on the altar, but the idol and the
victim are the same.

A King means a Nation : an Empire means the
absence of a Nation. The ruler of Austria-Hungary
has to be an Emperor; what else can he be? There
is no solid and fighting people that sees in him their
mere instrument and certain flag. He cannot be a
father to one people ; he is forced to be a grandfather
to a great many. The French never called them¬
selves an Empire until that brief interval when they
really were an Empire—that is, when a military man
was temporarily trying to rule a European chaos.
The English never called themselves an Empire at all
That seems to me the grandest of all the grand facts
of our history. Our cognisance has always
been the lion and not the eagle. Nor are
jjfi these two heraldic animals a mere irrelevant
fancy. Admittedly, they are both noble and
dominant creatures. But the imperial eagle,
ffi who is the smaller, sees vaster landscapes
§| from on high. The lion is larger, but lie

Second Cousin of the Evening Star. Among
Orientals all such titles are towering and hyperbolical ;
and the only possible question is which title towers the
highest and which tells the largest lie. But of king-
ship as it has been felt among Christian men he had
no notion, and small blame to him. He did not under¬
stand the domestic, popular, and priestly quality in the
thing; the idea expressed in the odd old phrase of
being the breath of his people’s nostrils ; the mystical
life pumped through the lungs and framework of the
State. You cannot have a King or a Republic until
you have a People; both are creative and collective
things. A Monarchy turns a million men into one man
who can be seen. A Republic turns a million men
into one woman who cannot be seen. Both require
faith and a power of fashioning a fixed thing and
fighting for it. But an Empire merely makes an
authority from nowhere attempting to master an an¬
archy from everywhere. And if ever we call our King
an Emperor, we shall be publicly admitting that we
are only a chaos, and have no country of our own.

LOST WITH THE BRITISH SECTION OF THE BRUSSELS EXHIBITION: PRICELESS EXHIBITS THAT WERE DESTROYED BY THE FIRE.

Many exhibit* that may fairly be deacribed as priceless were destroyed by the great fire at the Brussels Exhibition. Fortunately, the articles sent by the Victoria and Albert Museum were not
originals : else the loss to this country would have been incalculably greater. As it is. many private collectors and famous firms have suffered in a way that will bring them the sympathy ot
every art-lover. As we have said, it is practically impossible to set a price upon many of the treasures that are now dust and ashes, but in the notes that follow on this page and the next we

give in some cases a rough idea of their value. We may add further that we are indebted to the exhibitors who owned the objects illustrated for our photographs. Mr. Bernard Moore set no price

upon his exhibits, for he would not sell them. The value of the Wedgwoods cannot be given with any safety. The William and Mary Room was generally known as the Grinling Gibbons Room,
from the piece of the master's carving that had place over the door, and contained also, in addition to the carving mentioned, two extremely valuable chairs lent by Mr. Charles Allots, of
Messrs. White. Allom and Co-, and other treasured articles- In the George II. Room, also shown by Messrs. White, Allom and Co., was a particularly fine marble mantelpiece, a remarkable carvod

wood chandelier valued at 4i000 at least, and much floe furniture of tue period.

TWENTY CENTURIES BENEATH THE SEA « A BRONZE HEAD
OF ATHENE FROM THE WRECK OF AN ANCIENT GREEK
SHIP OFF TUNIS.

How deeply French has affected Scots !
When I was about the age of six, and in Eng¬
land for the first time, I asked, in a little toy¬
shop, for bonles, meaning marbles, of course,
and knowing no other term for them. But the
shopman, grinning, said there were no bulls
in his china shop. My junior brother and I
were much astonished by the ignorance of
that tradesman.

WINE AND WATER I A BRONZE HEAD OF DIONYSUS, THE
GREEK GOD OF WINE, WHICH WAS UNDER THE SEA FOR
TWO THOUSAND YEARS.

Latin word is known before St. Jerome, who, if I mis¬
take not, has stapes . The reviewer thinks that stirrups
“came into Europe with the Asiatic nomads several
centuries after Augustus.”

But an iron stirrup was found in the Roman station
at Mewstead, under Eildon Hill, and is earlier than
“ several centuries after Augustus.” Perhaps the
light horse of the Gauls used stirrups, but we shall
know more about it when Mr. Curie publishes his
book about the curious little Pompeii beside the
Tweed. As to the Greek torch-race, we shall

1 never understand it: the allusion by iEschylus only
makes the affair more puzzling.

An eminent Continental critic informs me
that, in his opinion, English fiction is going to
what Mr. Mantalini called “ the demnition bow¬
wows.” He names authors of the highest re¬
nown among us, and says that lie finds them
illisibles — not by him to be read. So do I,
for that matter. The authors named do not
amuse. I suppose they are valued for the
depth of their thought, or something of that
kind : all very well in its place — in philosophy
or science ; but then one prefers one’s philosophy
and science ?ieat.

For an interesting book, not illisible, let me
recommend the “Journal de Edmond Got,” of
the Com£die Frai^aise (1822-1901). M. Got mainly
played the heavy fathers and financiers, when
he acted last in England, but lie had been
the mellow glory of the Comedie long before
Coquelin came. He had served, with great
courage, in French campaigns in Algeria; he
tells a story of a duel in which he had not
the better, but he had beaten his opponent
first, with the arm of flesh. He knew Mile.

Fhotografh by Russell,

Did the Greeks bet on their races ? It scarcely
seems in nature that they should refrain, and there
is a bet in Homer’s description of the chariot-race,
a bet not about the winner, but as to what chariot
is leading at a point remote from the grand stand.
We get very few details about the sports. Pindar’s
object, in odes on victors, was to tell mythical
stories about their fabulous ancestors, not to give
sporting details.

The reviewer to whom 1 am indebted asks,
“ How many allusions to betting are there in Sir
Walter Scott's novels or in Tennyson’s poems?”
I can remember none in Tennyson, and in Scott
only “St. Ronan’s Well” is full of bets, as it
describes sporting society at a watering-place.
We know that people betted freely in Queen
Mary Stuart’s time—for example, on matches at
archery j^'and there was usually betting on tennis,
and always on jeu de mail, a variety of golf, with
hammer - headed clubs.

The only example of this club which I have
seen was variously described as an “ iron ” and
as a “putter.” In fact, it was a driver, with
the maker’s name, C. Gresset; but the ends of
the head were strengthened with iron rings,
and the face was so large as to prove that the
ball, wooden, was much larger than our golf-ball.

ANDREW lANG ON ANCIENT GREEK SPORT,
MODERN FICTION, AND A FRENCH ACTOR.

T HE ancient Greeks were even more enthusiastic
about athletic sports than ourselves, and I pine
to read Mr. Norman Gardiner’s new book on this
subject. Only scraps have reached me in a review.
Perhaps aviation is hardly to be called an athletic
sport, and it does not appear that the Greeks of
historical times indulged in it. But if the Cretans,
long before the age of history, were not aviators,

1 do not see why they told the story of Icarus,
who fell and was killed, in the style with which
we are too familiar. These amazing Cretans knew
a great deal.

The nature of T SH the subject leads

us to one of F the questions so

deeply interesting to Dickensians.

“ Pickwick ” is not accessible to

me, and I quote from memory w-hen I say that
Mr. Pickwick spoke to Master Bardell about “alley
tors.” Surely for “tor” (a Celtic word), we should
read “taw,” as in “they knuckled down at taw.”
The alley taw is, or was, a large and beautiful
glass marble, as distinguished from “commoneys.”

This, indeed, is certain, from pictures of about
1610. They putted out, however, with a small ball
of steel, hefting it through a narrow iron hoop.

To return to our Greeks, their jockeys cer¬
tainly did not use saddles or stirrups ; in fact,
there is no Greek word for stirrup, and no

Moreover, he wrote very good verse : a strange poem
he composed in a half - dream. M. Got saw many

f SCIENCE JOTTINGS.

STARVATION.

CURE

''HE

ments of the digest¬
ive system chiefly, but also affec¬
tions of other kinds, including gout
itself, may be cured by abstinence
from food for a time has been revived
of late days by Mr. Upton Sinclair
and by other devotees of this system of treat¬
ment. If the advocates of starvation as a
cure did not protest quite so much, their
arguments would carry more weight with the
public. Once started as a means of relieving
dyspepsia, the practice of abstaining from food
became invested with the virtues of a “ cure-
all.” As usual, we hear of unsuccessful cases,
and this result is to be expected where any
one system of cure is regarded as applicable
to the relief of diseases whose natures are as
far apart as are the poles asunder. But such
considerations do not weigh with enthusiasts
at all. Each fresh idea in the way of “ cures ”
is regarded as representing the Utopia of
medical science, and till it is found out as
being just like other modes of treatment —
successful sometimes, and useless as often —
nothing can disturb the faith that is placed
in the new fad or fashion.

There are plain physiological grounds to
be discovered for the belief that, beyond a
certain stage, abstinence from food represents
an impossible practice. The human body is
an engine which requires constant repair of
its substance, and as constant a supply of
material — that is, food of certain kind — to
enable it to develop its energy or working
power. It is quite within the limits of cor¬
rect science to describe the body as a heat-
engine, and the necessary heat and energy
can only be obtained by the chemical com¬
bustion in the body of foods of the fat, starch,
and sugar class. Having regard to the main¬
tenance of the healthy state, we can no more
expect to keep up our bodily resources in the
absence of energy - foods and body - building
ones than we can attempt to repair a loco¬
motive without iron, or to develop its power
without coal. This is the natural, normal,
and healthy phase of the question. Whether
we eat too much, or whether the amounts of
food given in standard tables of diet are
excessive, are matters entirely outside the
question of food - abstinence. It is easy to
revise a diet and to adjust food to the
wants of the individual
body, or of collections
of units. So we should
be clear in the first
place concerning what
is the natural mode of
life for the healthy
frame, and separate
this phase of the
matter entirely from
oilier aspects which
lake into consideration
i he cure of disease.

And here we enter
the special province of
l he physician, who
alone is entitled to
speak with authority
founded on a wide ex¬
perience of disease and
its relief.

The principle of
starving temporarily for
the relief of digestive
and other ailments is
no new thing. Medical
men have ordered
diminution of food-
amounts, or even a
sterner regime, from
time immemorial. They
have followed Dame
Nature in respect of
this practice, for when

AIR - MOVEMENTS MADE VISIBLE BY PHOTOGRAPHY. THE EFFECT ON THE AIR
OF A PROPELLER PERFORMING £00 REVOLUTIONS A MINUTE.

This photograph was taken by an eminent Japanese scientist, M. Tauakadate, Professor of Physics
in the University of Tokio. In order to obtain the effect he makes use of tbe differences of
refraction between hot and cold air. In a dark room be heats the air with Bunsen turners, and
by making a propeller rotate in front of the hot air he obtains eddies consisting of streaks cf
hot air and streaks of cold air, having a different index of refraction. These eddies he illumines
with an electric flash, thus making a very rapid impression on the plate. The photograph was
taken in front of a propeller fifty centimetres in diameter mounted on a horizontal shaft, and
in front of which was a strip of air heated by Bunsen burners.

The propeller, fifteen centimetres in diameter, is seen in the first photograph mounted on a vertical shaft in front of a lighted candle. In the second the effect

is shown of the propeller making 1300 revolutions a minute. The vortex near the blade is caused by that blade, the other vortex higher up being caused by the

illness attacks us appe¬
tite fails, tlie demand
for food falls away into abey¬
ance, and the rest thus given
to the system at large undoubt¬
edly assists the way and process of
recovery. But the starvation - process
must be kept within limits. Let it pro¬
ceed till the temperature has fallen to
a certain degree, and death will result; y
for when we die for lack of food we
really perish from loss of heat. Assuming the
best for the advocates of starvation as a cure,
we may very naturally suppose that an en¬
feebled and irritable stomach, day by day worn
out with the attempt io perform its duties, is
made to rest. There is more or less complete
cessation from its labours, and rest is, of
course, in itself a valuable mode of cure. This
is exactly the treatment ordered by physicians,
who, by prescribing milk-diet and predigested
foods, carry out ihe staivation cure within
limits. By-and-by, with ihe invigoration of
the digestive powers, a gradual return to the
normal diet, or to a suitable one, takes place
with satisfactory results.

Beyond this practice, however, lies the
wholesale deprivation of food for days. This
is the mode of cure advocated by the new
school of dietetics. Their own accounts of the
effects of abstinence are, of course, highly
coloured We hear nothing of failures: every¬
thing is touched with the rosy glow of suc¬
cess. Body is rejuvenated, mind becomes
dearer, and in some cases bodily strength is
said not to be perceptibly diminished. This
latter contention is, of course, a matter of
degree. Given a prolonged period of starv¬
ation, and the physical powers would collapse.
As for the clearer mental perception, the brain
has laws of its own in respect of its work,
and these conditions vary in different individ¬
uals. Sometimes on the near approach of
death, in cases of extreme bodily enfeeblement,
we meet with an amazing activity of the mental
powers. On the face of things, one feels in¬
clined to adopt the view that, where the starv¬
ation cure does good, it represents a much-
needed, if drastic, food-reform in cases when*
the nutrition lias previously been of ultra-
generous extent. Jn other words, over-fed
bodies—over-feeding is a relative term—benefit
from a very complete reduction of their in¬
come, and they are given the opportunity io
get rid easily of those bye-products whose
accumulation in the frame represents the real
cause of not a few of the ailments that afflict
us. The same result
could be attained in
many cases by the
adoption of abstinence
from meat foods, in
others bv the limita¬
tion of alcohol and to¬
bacco, and by other and
varying modifications
made, not in the menu
only, but in all the
habits of life.

I am tempted at
least to say this much
about starvation cures—
that they open the eyes
of ihe public to the
simple and excellent
idea that in attention
paid to diet lies the
secret of success in deal¬
ing with many of theail-
vnepts which beset us.
The notion that every¬
thing in the w f ay of dis¬
ease is to be cured by
drugs is obstructive to
the best interests of the
race. The time may
come when a medically
regulated kitchen or
cooking -depot will
supersede the chemist's
shop.— -x.vdri.vv Wilson.

but make our sorrows known to the new lords of Eng¬
land—who, we heard, were of the lowest of the people,
quite uneducated — they would speedily remove and
punish the bad tyrant Krumer, and give us all the best
of good appointments. Our hopes rose high. But for
some months we sought in vain an opportunity of plead¬
ing our cause before them with convincing force. Then
came the grave affair of Denshawai, a very godsend!
Allah, of His Mercy, deigned to take our part. It
was a time of some disturbance. All men felt that
the iron hand which grasped our country had begun
to shake ; that the new lords of England would control
and curb our governors. There was, besides, a hope
of war with the Successor of the Prophet, the pious
and exalted Sultan Abdul Hamid, Prince of Believers,
which, if it came, would mean the end of all the
English. Wise men strove to show some disaffection
towards the Government, in hopes at once to please
the Sultan’s majesty and to win the favour of the lords
of England ; and the respect which had till then been
paid to Englishmen among us became as a weight
removed from every brow.

Thou knowest the inhabitants of our pigeon-villages;
how, from the fact of their occupation, which involves

England heard us. The trial was so cold, so cruel, the
punishment so awful, that it made us scream. But when
we found the lords of England were on our side, that
they hated to see the honour of their uniform avenged,
our sad souls laughed for joy and we were solaced.

We raised an outcry that was heard all over Europe.
Members of the Chamber of Deputies arrived from
England. They spoke of comfort to us, and we taught
them all our griefs. The recipient of God’s Mercy,
Mustafa Pasha KAmil was the man for that. He knew
all the weak points of the Frank, and how to touch
them, and others of our spokesmen worked by his
instructions, and acquired great skill in managing such
deputations. The members of their Parliament went
home our creatures. They did all we told them, asking
questions in the council-chamber. All the woes of
Egypt were made known in England, and the rulers were
ashamed to countenance such tyranny. Those members
were the last of men, the most contemptible, the most
abandoned. One of them even boasted to our leaders
that he was an atheist. He said—may Allah protect
us !—that he did not believe that any God at all exists.
Just like a beetle ! That shows what kind of men
these English are!

while had become one of us, opposed a measure
all-important to the English, and the house was
with him; there was only one dissentient voice.

And why ? What think you was the cause of this

great change in so short a while ? By Allah ! it was
simply that we students in the Higher Schools,
true patriots all, had taken to attending meetings

of the Council and shouting when the members
pleased or angered us. Our shouts affect the
nerves of all those greybeards, and turn their brains
to smoke. Our fear is on them. Tell the villagers
that we are now the masters of Egypt, that all

who wish to rise must look to us. We shoulder the
English proudly in the streets, we shout abuse of all
their great ones; and who dares gainsay us ? They
shall learn that we are their superiors in education
and politeness.

What art thou saying ? That the villagers have no
hatred for the English, that they fear to see them de¬
part, lest worse should rule in their place ? Are we
worse than the English ? Allah forbid! Wait till
we next meet; then 1 will explain to thee our upright¬
ness, our generosity, and the clean purity of our
intentions. At present I must leave thee, to attend a

and noble Japanese collectors in entrusting their trea¬
sures to England would have been more happily re¬
warded if Burlington House had, immediately on the
close of the summer exhibition, been prepared for the
reception of the entire collection, which, in the cramped
space allotted at Shepherd’s Bush, has been seen, not
collectively, but in relays. Even now, while the roof
peisists in leaking and the pe:ioa of the loans is not
exhausted, it would be well if some such plan were
carried out. Expenses of removal, recasing, reinsur¬
ance, and a compact with Mr. Kiralfy might be met by
a Government grant if the Royal Academy is not itself
prepared to meet the cost of providing a unique and
invaluable autumn and winter exhibition. E. M.

HISTORICAL PAGEANTRY IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. THE “DEATH OF PIERSON"
CAR IN THE JERSEY BATTLE OF FLOWERS.

One of the most striking cars in the jjersjy Battl; of Flowers held recently was that arranged
by the parish of St. Heller, reproducing the well - known picture by Copley, “The Death of
Pierson," which is in the National Gallery. Major Pierson commanded the Jersey forces when
the French, in 1731, unsuccessfully invaded the islani. The small cannon in the tableau was
the actual gun used by the defenders.

here it will be an example of a class of subject rare
in this country. In works of his greatest period, the
National Gallery, the Wallace, and other English-col¬
lections are very rich ; but with his curious excursions,
belonging to an earlier period, into the pagan mythologies,
we are but poorly furnished. Full of anachronism and in¬
congruity of type and setting, they are seldom more than
consciously colloquial essays in classical themes. He
was much more serious in his reconstruction of the
Old Testament and the Christian drama, for in choosing
its characters from the men about him he did what he
knew would best express the perpetual renewal of its
significance in the hearts of the faithful. His angels,
of short and stalwart Dutch stock, are never comic ;
his Dianas and Europas are always nearly ludicrous.

It is not surpris¬
ing to one who wit¬
nessed the dismay
among the Japanese
attendants when,
many weeks ago,
portions of tho roof
of the Fine Art
pavilion at Shep¬
herd’s Bush started
a leak, that a pro¬
longed peiiod of wet
weather necessitated
the removal of some of the ancient
paintings and the closing of two of
the galleries. It is doubtful if tlie
dangers and difficulties of housing
a priceless collection of works of
art in such surroundings can be
entirely overcome, however diligent
and conscientious the authorities may
be. just as it is doubtful if a crowd
intoxicated with the delights of the
wiggle-woggle, of the seasons of Fair
Japan (executed, I believe, entirely
by British artisans), and of the
mountain-railway, can be brought to
do full homage to alien antiquities.

TRAGEDY TURNED TO BURLESQUE i THE “DEATH OF PIERSON *' CAR
RETURNING THE FIRE OF BLOSSOMS IN THE JERSEY BATTLE OF FLOWERS.

Not even patriotic feelings could restrain the frolicsome spirit ot the Jersey folk in their recent
Battle of Flowers. They pelted the “Death of Pierson” car with a rain of blossoms, and the
occupants of Ibe car, entering into the spirit of the day, abandoned their tragic looks and
attitudes, and returned the fire vigorously.

With studios in Rome and London, Mr. Swynnerton,
like the fountains of his designing, was found at his

friends, as a cicerone whose know¬

most Romans, he made Rome delight¬

now for ever lost to the unlearned

LADIES' PAGE.

T HERE is a most important historical article in the
new issue of the Quarterly Review; it is entitled
“The Character of King Edward VII.” but the interest
for many of us lies rather in the light that it throws
upon the character and conduct of Queen Victoria as a
mother. It would be impossible to over-rate the value
to the Queen of her happy marriage, and so long as
her husband lived, everything that bore her signature
was stamped with the impress of two minds in an ideal
married union. But the Queen had a literary style dis¬
tinctively her own, and her individuality is clearly recog¬
nisable in the more personal letters to her son that are
printed from the archives at Windsor in this interest¬
ing article. The Queen and Prince Consort were in
ihe habit of putting into writing anything that they
particularly desired to impress upon others, even those
in immediate personal contact with them. Letters
were constantly passing, and copies are religiously
preserved at Windsor. They make it clear that the
royal children had the daily, almost the hourly, care of
I heir parents. It was not only the Heir to the Throne
who was the object of their solicitude, for in the letters
of Princess Alice there are numerous allusions to her
own training which show that she received the same
influences. “ I try to bring up my children,” she says
once, “ as you did us, to be simple-minded, and to
regard their rank as nothing but a means of doing
good and setting an example.” In the Quarterly
article we are allowed to see the very counsels thus
alluded to, in letters that bear internal evidence of
having been penned by the Queen herself to her eld¬
est son. He is instructed “to treat servants and those
below you with unfailing courtesy and kindness,” and
to “ remember that, by having engaged to serve you
in return for certain money payments, they have
not surrendered their dignity, which belongs to them
as brother men.” The young Prince was advised not
to rely upon servants too much for the wants of
daily life. “The more you can do for yourself and
the less you need their help, the greater will be your
independence and comfort.” How simple and wise, and
how remarkable coming from the Queen, who had been
heiress to a great throne from her earliest recollection !
There is equally good advice on dress and many other
details. The article is well worth study by everybody
interested in the Sovereign who politically rehabilitated
the monarchy in esteem, and at the same time was so
admirable a wife and mother.

At the Conference of the International Law Associa¬
tion recently held in the London Guildhall, a paper was
read by Dr. de Leval, legal adviser to the British Lega¬
tion in Brussels, on the extremely unfair position in
which British women stand in reference to marriages
with foreigners. A Belgian or French young man may
pretend to a girl in this country that he has obtained his
parents’ consent to his marriage, and thu=> can be legally
married to her here, even in church, and yet the moment
he goes back to his own country, he can absolutely

repudiate her and any children that he may have had hv
the marriage. It will be declared void in the foreign courts
of law, if all the formalities have not been fulfilled that
make marriage legal in the man’s own native country.
But this is by no means the end or the worst of the
wrong done in the case to the British woman. In their
sapience, our courts have solemnly decided that in such
a case the British woman remains the foreign man’s
wife ; so that if she marries again here, she may be
prosecuted for bigamy, or deserted at pleasure by
her British second husband, as our law persists in
Fegarding her as still the Belgian’s or Frenchman’s
wife, notwithstanding the fact that both the man him¬
self and the courts of law of his country refuse to
admit that the marriage-tie exists. This is monstrous 1
Dr. de Leval’s suggested remedy is “ that the English
authorities should never allow a marriage to take place
in this country between any foreigner and a British
woman until the officiating authority is satisfied that
the law of the man’s country has been complied with,
so as t<5 make the marriage binding upon him in his
own land.”

Children have reason to be grateful for the cheapen,
ing that has taken place in materials, so that the old-
fashioned martyrdom of the innocents involved in dress¬
ing them up in their elders’ cast - off clothing, “ cur
down.” is no longer needful amongst fairly well-off
people. In past times it was quite the custom to
sacrifice the poor mites by making over for them not
only the gowns of their elders that happened to be
suitable in colour and design, but also the big patterns,
checks, or floral designs, and the flimsy, tumbled finery
of their elders, for materials were then very dear.
Alas! there are still some families where “ cutting down
for the girls” must obtain, but it is now the exception,
for at sale-times such charming remr.ant pieces and
short lengths can, and should, be p*cked up for the
children’s frocks that it is only the very pooily supplied
purse that cannot unflinchingly produce the necessary
amount. The ideal fashion for a girl’s frock is hang-
ing loose from the shoulders, with smocking as a yoke.
A bit of soft material such as cashmere or merino or
nun’s veiling, is needful ; but granted that this has
been obtained, the little frock needs hardly any ciitting-
out, as it will simply fall in full folds, held round the
waist by a sash.

A dentifrice much used and approved of on the
Continent is the tooth-paste, or at choic: the tooth-
elixir, prepared from a prescription of the dentist to
the Queen of Holland, and named after him, the “ Den¬
tifrices Friederich.” The ” Tooth-Paste Friederich ” is
flavoured with peppermint, one of the best amisepti«s
for the mouth, and is free from acids. The “ Tooth
Elixir Friederich” has a very pleasant taste: it is
supplied in bottles provided with a drip-stopper that
is very convenient. These dentifrices have been
awarded a large number of gold medals at Inter¬
national Exhibitions, and are str -ugly recommended
by authorities. Filomena.

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

T HE Town Clerk of Douglas, isle of Man, has
approached the Royal Automobile Club in the
matter of a celebration which is to take place in that
town in commemoration of its grant of local self-
government some fifty years ago, and has suggested
that one day of the fetes at least should be devoied
to a great motor-race or races, in the promotion
of which the Club could rely upon the active co¬
operation of the island authorities. Without taking
aciion on its own account, the Club referred the
matter to that sport-killing body, the Trade Society,
with the result, after discussion, that the committee
passed a resolution regretting that it did not see its
way to take part in the organisation of such race or
races. It is really pitiable to see how the Club bows
the knee to Baal in these matters But there is
an independent automobile club in the independent
island of Man, and they should take the matter
into their own hands. The race would come off
right enough.

On July 28 last a visit to the grandly appointed
works of the Wolseley Tool and Motor Company,
Ltd., at Birmingham, was jointly paid by the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers and our
own Institution of Mechanical Engineers on the
occasion of their joint summer meet¬
ing. This most important occurrence
has been made the subject of a
sumptuously prepared souvenir by the
1 * ">st - company, which has, of course,
been mailed to each and every one
of die guests and others interested.

A perusal of the interestingly written
matter, coupled with an inspection of
the beautiful illustrations, gives a very
complete idea of the extent and scope
of the Wolseley business, and the
immense and valuable plant concerned
in the output of the deservedly popular
Wolseley cars.

Tyre fillings, something that should
give resilience approaching that of
air, but which would, of course,
be impossible to puncture, have come
before the public more than once.

All sorts and manners of qualities
have been claimed for them ; they
have had their little day of boom
and trial, and then they have dropped
out of knowledge, still leaving King
Air in the possession of the field.

But there is one compound which,
though it arrived last, is not the least

of all these, and seems as if bound to stay.
Anyway, it has the countenance of the Dunlop
Pneumatic Tyre Company, and that company
does not father failures. I refer to “ Pfleumatic,”
which has nothing to do with the Demon “Flu,”
but is a cellular material, three - fifths of the
bulk of which is compressed air. A tyre - cover
is fixed to the rim by a continuous circular band,
and the Pfleumatic material is filled directly into
the cover itself, dispensing with an inner tube
to a predetermined pressure proportionate to the
weight and size of the car carried.

EvenJ crevice in the cover is filled up, and being
always under pressure, the substance adapts itself
to any stretching of the fabric. It is obviously, as
I have suggested, impervious to puncture, so that
the carriage of inner tubes or repair-outfits is not
necessary. Covers filled with Pfleumatic can be
worn down to the las| thread of the fabric, and
as there is no friction between .the inner tube and
the internal surface of the cover, the latter is claimed
to have a much longer life. Pfleumatic adds but
7 lb. only to a wheel of average size, and on a
well-sprung car is remarkably comfortable.

fheie are two details of the modern motor-car,
in which, while material and workmanship have
advanced in quality, desigif has practi¬
cally stood) still. I refer to the trans¬
mission-gear apd the springs, particu¬
larly tq the springs. Sheffield to-day
produces a spring steel which, made
into the long, flat, laminated springs
now generally fitted, firings them as
near luxury as needs be ; but however
pliable and lissome they are, they, par¬
ticularly with the lighter cars, cause
the car to plunge and rebound in an
undesirable way. Although the pas¬
sengers in the vehicle are cut off from
all sensible shock, the movement of
the car apprises them of its passage
over a rough road, which should not
be on a perfect system of springing.
Devices in substitution of springs have
come and gone, though why nothing
more from a practical point of view has
been heard of the Cavey Suspension
and the Arnans - Pneumo Suspension,
both of which seemed as near per¬
fection as possible, I am at a losr>
to understand. The Cavey system of
course differed so widely from accepted
arrangements, that it would have to
live down prejudice, but the Aman&
when fitted was barely noticeable.

MUSIC.

A T this season of the year, when the fiies of musical
interest stirred faintly in the Metropolis by the
admirable series of Piomenade Concerts at Queen’s Hall,
are fanned more vigorously in the provinces by a series
of festivals, interest turns in London more to the signs
of the times than to actual happenings. We have time
to take stock of work done, and to consider the promise
t>f a season to come. While the Londoner moves west¬
ward along the Strand in search of music, he overlooks
much that is worth noting on either side. On the one
hand are the gardens of Lincoln’s Inn ; on the other,
the gardens of the Victoria Embankment ; and in both
the bands of the London County Council are active
throughout the season. Only those who have paused for
awhile on the westward road will have realised the value
of the County Council’s work in raising the standard of
popular taste. A few days ago, in the Villiers Street
section of the gardens, the fourth Symphonies of Schu¬
mann and Beethoven were given in one week. This
is most significant, for it must be remembered that it
is no part of the musical policy of the L.C.C. to
move in advance of its patrons, and these patrons are
literally gathered from the streets, tired workers for
the most part, to whom the ordinary avenues of music
are closed. When we come to consider the question,
it is far less remarkable that a promenade audience at
Queen’s Hall should accept Richard Strauss than that a
gathering in the Embankment Gardens should welcome
Schumann and Beethoven. Balfe and Wallace have
fallen from their high estate, Johann Strauss and Emile
Waldteufel are no longer forces with which the director
of the L.C.C. bands need reckon. They have their
popularity, but it is no more than a waning one; the
time will soon come when the place thereof upon the
programmes shall know them no more

The seaside has a similar story to tell of changing
tastes, but the movement is slower. Music in our coast
towns depends to no small extent upon the generosity of
the municipal authorities, and it is to be feared that many
of these genrlemen are more concerned with the addi¬
tion of a halfpenny to the rates than with a measure

of artistic progress at a trifling loss. They have been
heard to plead that the public does not want 44 a lot of
high-class music.” May we, in these circumstances,
invite them carefully to consider the programmes of the
London County Council bands in the parks and open
spaces of the Metropolis ?

Most ingenious and interesting is the View Com¬
petition arranged by the proprietors of Wright’s Coal
Jar Soap, and for which prizes of ^io ios., ^5 5s,,
and £3 3s. are offered. The competition consists in
naming a number of views of British seaside resorts,
photographs of which are reproduced, without names,
in a little book issued by the firm. Those who do
not know the places themselves can enlist the services
of their friends. Copies of the booklet, with all par¬
ticulars, can be obtained free from any chemist, or

In connection with our review of Mr. E. Keble
Chatterton’s book. “Steamships and Their Story,” in
our issue of July 30, we gave an illustration of a steam
tug-boat invented in 1736 by Jonathan Hulls, whom Mr.
Chatterton speaks of as “the first Englishman to apply
steam to ships.” We have since received a communica¬
tion from a descendant of his, Mr. J. Hooper Hulls,
who takes exception to the doubt, expressed in our note
under the illustration (and based on Mr. Chatterton’s
book), whether Hulls’ invention was ever put to a prac¬
tical test. We are very glad to give publicity to what
Mr. Hulls has to say. He writes: “With such a statement
I wish to differ, as it is quite contrary to official facts. . . .
In Hulls’ Treatise (1737), it is stated that 4 he hath, with
much Labour and Study and at Great Expense, invented
and formed a machine,’ etc. • The best proof I can put
forward that the boat was a practical success is contained
in 4 The History of Progress in Great Britain’ (1850):

4 Thus we arrive at the time when, in 1736, Jonathan Hulls’
steam-boat took a sailing-ship in tow, and, amid the
wonder, doubts, and jeers of the spectators, made a great
splash, a loud noise, and a black smoke, yet managed
to haul the cumbrous hulk along,’ etc. The Institute of
Marine Engineers, London, supports my contention.”

The Hamburg Tournament resulted, as was generally expected, in the
victory of Schleehter, whose position throughout was only in danger from
his predilection for devoting as much skill to the drawing of a game as to
tbe winning of it. Duras was second, and the only other noticeable feature
of the contest was the bold show made by Neimzowitch, who was third, and
who is evidently a coming force in master play.

A movement is on foot, which we trust the coming meeting of the
British Chess Federation will see brought to a consummation, to recognise
in a fitting manner Mr. J. H. Rlackburne’s jubilee in connection with
chess. With the exception of Mr. Staunton, no master has been so
purely representative of Great Britain in the royal game, and no one has
more worthily upheld the prestige of his countrj' all the world over. In
international tournaments, he had, in his prime, no superior, if, indeed,
his equal; in blindfold play he was supreme; in exposition he was as
original as he was brilliant. The merest tyro has enjoyed his “ little bit
of Hlackburne,” anil it will be a lasting reflection on English chess if it
does not record in a substantial fashion its admiration of the long career
of its most distinguished ornament.

SEEKING TO SAVE FUEL FOR FUTURE " DREADNOUGHTS"? — SMOTHERING A BURNING OIL - GUSHER WITH A DRAG

OF STEEL PLATES AND RAILS.

Now that it is once again suggested in all seriousness that the great war-ships and merchant-vessels of the future may be driven by oil fuel, the oil-wells of the world become
of exceptional importance. Of great interest, therefore, are the means adopted to put out oil-fires. One such method is here shown. In this particular case, an endeavour was
made to extinguish the flames of the burning oil-gusher (which reached to a height of about 1000 feet and had a width at the base of ninety feet) by dragging over the mouth
of the well a ** raft ” made of the heaviest plates from a two - thousand - barrel steel tank, riveted together, and weighted down with thirty tons of rails. The effort was not
successful in the instance under review, for the mouth of the well became a crater. Eventually the well was choked by pumping sand and gravel into it. The gusher was
struck by Messrs. 3 . Pearson and Son on their property in Mexico.- [Drawn by Cyrus Cunbo, R.O.I., from Matkriai. Suppliru by Mrhsrs. S. Pkarson am> Sow.]

CINEMATOGRAPHING THE FLIGHT OF
INSECTS.

{See Illustrations.)

W ITH reference to our photographs on another page
of a marvellous cinematographic apparatus which
records the flight of insects at the rate of two thousand
pictures per second, we quote the following extracts from
a remarkably interesting article by Dr. Georges Vitoux
in the French scientific journal La Nature —

“ In order to take two thousand photographs, each
measuring 2 cm. in width, in one second, the sensitive
surface must be carried at a speed of 40m. per second.
But as a movement of one-tenth of a millimetre whilst
the picture is being taken shows an appreciable soft¬
ness, the time necessary for the movable film to cover
this- distance of one-tenth of a millimetre — namely,
one 400,000th of a, second, is consequently the maximum
length of exposure that can be given. How can such
speeds of exposure be attained ? How in such a short time
can sufficient illumination of the object be caused for the
image to make an impression on the sensitive emulsion ?
Contrary to what might be supposed, this double problem
may be easily solved, by means of the electric spark,
which combines the two most essential qualities re¬
quired— namely, instantaneousness and light - giving
power. With an apparatus constructed on these lines
by Mr. L. Bull, the eminent sub-director of the Marey
Institute, more than two thousand stereoscopic pictures
per second, regularly spaced, and perfectly sharp, can
be taken on a film. These pictures may, by the aid of
the cinematograph, be used for reproducing at a slower
rate the phenomenon recorded, thus facilitating study of
it at leisure.

“ The apparatus is composed essentially of a wheel
which may be given a rapid movement by means
of a small electric motor. This wheel, constructed of
strong cardboard, 34-5 centimetres in diameter, receives
a film 1 08 m. in length, on which may be recorded
fifty-four photographs of the size usually employed in
cinematography. On the axle of the wheel is placed a
rotary interrupter capable of producing up to 2000 inter¬
ruptions per second. The object of this interrupter is to
break the primary circuit of an induction coil a certain
number of times during each revolution. Naturally each
of these breaks is accompanied by an indirect spark
produced behind a condenser, the object of which is to
concentrate the luminous rays on the lens of the appara¬
tus. Each of the sparks, produced when the wheel is
in motion, makes an impression on that portion of the
sensitive film which is at the moment behind the lens.
If the lens is uncovered during exactly one complete
turn of the wheel, the sensitive film will record a series
ot pictures of any object in front of the condenser. The
movable wheel is enclosed in a wooden octagonal¬
shaped box. the upper half of which is removable, so
that the changing of the exposed sensitive film may be
easily effected. This operation of course takes place in
a dark room.

“ The lens is fitted into a small wooden camera fixed
on the front part of the octagonal box. This camera,
by an ingenious device, serves at the same time as a
focussing apparatus. The interrupter is keyed on to the
axis of the wheel, and is placed outside the box that
protects the sensitive film. It is composed of a thick
disc of ebonite, having on its circumference fifty-four
copper plates, insulated one from the other. Two rr/etallic
brushes, arranged to work with one of the generators of
the interrupter, rest on the latter, and when this\is in
motion, they cause, on the passing of each copper plate,
an opening and breaking of the primary current of the
coil, the effect of which is to produce an induced spark
each time. These sparks flash between two mag¬
nesium electrodes, about two millimetres in diameter
and terminating in a point.

“ For increasing the intensity of* the sparks, a small
condenser is inserted in the secondary circuit of the
coil. The light - condenser jin front of the electrodes,
between which flash the sparks that serve as a source
of light, is generally composed of three lenses. All the
optical apparatus, as well as the photographic lens, is
made of quartz and achromatised with Iceland spar,
substances which do not stop, as does glass, the ultra
violet radiations of high light - giving power, which
abound in the electric sparks. . .

“ The pictures obtained are only in silhouette, so
Mr. Bull has had recourse to the stereoscope. He
takes on his sensitive film not one but two pictures
of the moving object, simultaneously photographed,
by means of twin lenses. Behind the condenser are
arranged two pairs of magnesium electrodes, between
which the sparks flash simultaneously at each inter¬
ruption of the primary current.

“ An electrically worked shutter opens at the precise
instant when the recording of the pictures is to com¬
mence, and instantaneously closes when the revolution
of the wheel is complete. This shutter, which is placed
quite close to the film, is composed of a brass plate
pierced by two rectangular windows of the size and
spacing of the pictures. These windows, at the com¬
mencement of the operation, are covered by a primary
screen formed by a thin steel plate, which is actuated by
a spring and released by an electriccurrent. At the
precise minute when the wheel completes its revolution, a
second steel screen, similar to the first, actuated by a
fresh current, is brought into atftii n in its turn, and
closes the open windows. The electric current which
works the shutter is independent of that of the coil.

“ Mr. Bull makes a point of leaving to the insects
full liberty of movement, and imposes on them a cap¬
tivity of a few seconds only, immediately before the
operation. It is, of course, indispensable that the flight
of the insect be directed in such a way as to cross the
photographic field The apparatus is therefore placed
near the window, and the insects, attracted by the light,
nearly always fly in the same direction.

“A more serious difficulty consists in the fact that it
is indispensable that the release of the shutter should
take place at the precise moment when the animal
crosses the photographic field, the rapid release by
hand being almost impracticable. One system which

| is satisfactory with dragon flies and ordinary flies con-
j sists in keeping the insect captive by placing one of
• its legs in an electro-magnetic tweezer inserted in the
! circuit of the shutter. At the instant when the windows
I of the shutter are uncovered, the tweezer opens, and
I the insect flies towards the photographic field.

“In the case of bees and other insects which hesitate
before taking to flight and which nearly always fly after
the shutter has worked, Mr. Bull makes the insect itself
close the circuit of the shutter at the exact instant of its
flight. With this object the insect is placed in a glass
tube cut on the slope at one end, and turned towards (he
light. This end is partly closed by a small, very light
mica door, kept closed by a very delicate spring, which
in its state of rest completes the shutter circuit. When
I the insect has been placed in the tube at the free end.

! the operator waits to close the circuit of the shutter until
| the insect commences to raise the mica door and conse-
I quently to arrest the flow of the current. When the
I insect flies away the mica door falls, the current is
closed, and the shutter works successfully.”

"THE REJUVENATION OF AUNT MARY,” AT TERRY’S.

I “ * | 'HE Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary,” a piece written
1 by Anne Warner and produced on Monday night
at Terry’s Theatre, is a play which even so erudite a
dramatic critic as Polonius would have found it hard to
classify. It is described on the programme as a farcical
comedy, but really it consists of a series of scenes, some
comic, others sentimental, and all naively extravagant
and unsophisticated, which enable Miss May Robson,
a clever American actress, to portray the varying moods
and feelings of an old maid whose whims and hot
temper are chastened by a keen sense of humour and a
love for her scapegrace nephew. The plot, with its
story of how Aunt Mary, living in her New England
home, disinherited her nephew, Jack Watkins, because
he was quite innocently involved in a breach-of-promise
case, then came up straightway to look after him in New
York on receiving a letter from a friend of his declaring
I that he was ill, and finally sloughed her country-bred
1 prejudices against town life in appreciation of the
I •'’good time” given her by him and his chums—bears,

1 of course, very little relation to life as lived anywhere.
And such love-interest as the piece contains is slight
and tepid in the extreme. But the character of
' Aunt Mary, verging on sheer farce as it is, makes
I “ The Rejuvenation ” worth seeing, more particu-
| larly as its impersonator, an actress gifted with a
1 sure feeling for comedy and an admirably clean-cut
' method, gets all her effects with the greatest ease
j and precision, and ranges from fun to anger and from
j anger to pathos with a naturalness and an effect which
: are rare indeed. None of Miss Robson’s supporters
gets much of a chance in Anne Warner’s farcical
I comedy, but Miss Nina Saville deserves a good word
I for her very life-like sketch of Aunt Mary’s maid,
Lucinda ; and Miss Faye Cusick may be mentioned as
I making a very pretty ingenue.

It is said that Britain was
once called the Island of
Saints, and I think its inhabit¬
ants must really be marked
by a saintly meekness and
a saintly unworldliness. The
Jingo poets describe us always
as a masculine and masterful
people, striding across territory
and subduing tribes to our will.
But I can only explain the
actual facts on the theory that
the English are a tender and
almost timorous people, who
alone of all men will submit
to the last and wildest pests of
the tyrant. The abject popu¬
lace in the decline of Rome
had to be pacified with bread
and circuses. But the modem
English populace can actually
be pacified with circulars in¬
stead of circuses. With circu¬
lars—and no bread.

e * r e. e carr age Whether we call this thing

that seems to be coming on
us by the name of Socialism or the more dis¬
putable name of slavery, one thing about it appears
to be quite clear. If we are going to subject the
poor to the sterner side of Socialism first, we must let
them see the more comfortable side of Socialism some
time soon. Or (to put the matter the other way) since
we are already ruling them like slaves, we must at
least begin to think about feeding them like slaves
Kicks and carrots, it is said, are the two ways witl.
a donkey: and I am far from denying that the English
democracy is a donkey. But I certainly think it
hard that he should now be having all the official kicks
without the faintest suggestion of the official carrots.
Of my own opinion I do not speak. My own opinion is
that it is the educated people who want ordering about,
if anybody wants it. 1 confine myself to the urgent
clinching of this truism. We might conceivably leave
the poor free to die like the flies in winter. The idea
is horrible and heathen ; but, after all, most modern
thinkers are heathen, and a good many of them are
horrible. The rigid line of logic still remains. If we
imprison folk we must feed them. If we may send
the menu to them, they may send the bill to us.

Upon them has descended at last that taunt of almost
incredible tyranny stored up for some ten thousand
years; here, at last, we have again the rulers who
really command men to make bricks without straw.

I have taken this one case of medical examination
among the poor because it happened to come my
way; but the thing is being done everywhere, in every
shape, and in every department. Officials come round
and leave little cards about the hygienic way in which
to give children food. They leave the cards : they do
not leave the food. Lady scientists come round with
bright little essays about milk; they do not come
round with the milk. Poor children are told in laundry
classes to pass a garment through three waters, but
nobody gives them so much as one water. Children
are told in cookery classes to pass the viand from a
saucepan to a stew-pan ; but nobody offers to lend them
even the saucepan. If there is any notion extant of an
individual citizen’s rights in his own house and human
family, if there abides any
legend of the human chanti¬
cleer crowing in his own farm¬
yard—that song has already
ceased. Government has al¬
ready made the ordinary man
pipe another tune : only Govern¬
ment has not paid the piper.
The officials have already
gained the right to order the
poor man about like dirt. Only
they have not yet earned the
right. They have not even
attempted to earn it, by making
him one halfpenny less poor.

Stipendiary Magi¬
strate for Birming¬
ham for the last five
years. He was son of
the late Dr. Morton
Brown, a well-known
Congregational minister, and was born at Cheltenham in 1854.
He went to school there, and afterwards proceeded to St. John’s
College, Cambridge, taking his B.A. in 1875, and the LL.M.
three years later. He was called to the Bar in 1877, and joined
the Oxford Circuit. In 1885 h e became Recorder of Tewkes¬
bury, and in 1900 Recorder of Gloucester, where he also acted
as Deputy County Court Judge for many years. He was
Revising Barrister of Shrewsbury and Shropshire.

It was only last month that the late Mr. George Hawtrey
was managing the Chester Pageant. He also had charge of
the pageant at Cheltenham two years ago, and the National
Pageant of Wales at Cardiff last October. As a playwright his
best-known work, perhaps, was his adaptation, under the title
of “ The Pickpocket/’ of Baron von Moser's farcical comedy,
“ Mit Vergnugen.” It was produced by his brother, Mr. Charles
Hawtrey, in succession to “The Private Secretary” at the old
Globe Theatre in 1886. Mr. George Hawtrey also collaborated
in “A Message from Mars.”

He came of a family famous not
only in histrionic, but in edu¬
cational circles. His father, the
Rev. John Hawtrey, was Head¬
master of Alden House School
at Slough, and he was also re¬
lated to Dr. Hawtrey, a former
Head-master and Provost of Eton.

Mr. George Hawtrey himself was
educated at Eton, and at Pem¬
broke College, Oxford.

Lincoln has lost within a few
months a famous Bishop and a
distinguished Dean. Dean Wick¬
ham will be remembered not only
at Lincoln, but at Oxford, where
he was one of the pioneers of
University reform, and at Welling¬
ton College, of which he was
Head - master for . twenty years.

He will also be remembered for
his scholarly edition and trans¬
lation of Horace, the site of whose
Sabine Farm (we may note, by
the way) is illustrated on another
page of this number. Dean Wick¬
ham was born in 1834, and was
educated at Winchester and New
College. Oxford. He returned to
the former as Assistant Master,
and to the latter as Fellow and
Tutor in 1859. It was largely
due to his efforts that New

College owes its subsequent progress, and it was there that
he and others first introduced the system of •* married ” fellow¬
ships, the foundation of the modern system at Oxford and
Cambridge. On his appointment to Wellington in 1873,
he married Miss Agnes Gladstone, eldest daughter of Mr.
Gladstone, who in 1893 presented him to the Deanery of
Lincoln. The late Dean
had recently taken a dis¬

had flown, on a Farman biplane, from that city to its ancient
port, Civita Vecchia. He was on his return flight to Rome when
the accident took place, between Magliano and Pontegalera.
He fell a thousand feet and was killed instantly, within sight of
an express train that was passing close by. It was pulled up,
and the passengers ran to the spot, but could do nothing.

The death of Mr. Henry Andrade Harben, chairman of the
Prudential Assurance Company, at the age of sixty-one, recalls
the fact that his father, Sir Henry Harben, president of the
company, is still living, and kept his eighty - seventh birthday
on Wednesday. Mr. H. A. Harben, who was called to the
Bar in 1871, was a J.P. for Buckinghamshire and the County
of London. He joined the board of the Prudential in 1879 and
became chairman three years ago. He was keenly interested
in municipal affairs and in hospital management, having been
on the old Paddington Vestry, and subsequently Mayor of
that borough, and for nine years from 1898 a member of the
London County Council. There he
presided over the Public Control
Committee, and for some time
he was Chairman of the Central
Hospital Council of London. He
was also on the board of St.
Mary’s Hospital, and became its
chairman in 1903.

has hitherto stood in the way of
his regal aspirations, but has
withdrawn her objections since
her recent annexation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, and also agreed last year that the Montenegrin
port of Antivari should no longer be closed to ships of war as it
has been since the Treaty of Berlin in 1878, by which the indepen¬
dence of Montenegro was recognised. Nicholas I. was born
on Oct. 7, 1841, at the village of Njegus—the ancestral home of
the reigning family of Montenegro. He has twice been at war
with Turkey—in 1862 and
from 1876 to 1878 — and
his country was several
times in danger of politi¬
cal extinction. But for
the last thirty years, in
spite of the warlike
character of his people,
he has reigned in peace,
and has introduced re¬
forms both military and
educational. Three months
after his accession, in
i860, he married Mil¬

RAILWAY - ENGINE AND FIRE-ENGINE IN ONE; A LOCOMOTIVE DESIGNED TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES.

Tbe great forest fires in America have once again called attention to the methods adopted in fighting such conflagrations. Railway engines have often enough been accused of being the cause of
forest fires, and it if possible that they are not altogether innocent. Special interest is attached, therefore, to the locomotive here shown, which is fitted in such a manner that on emergency it

can be used as a fire-engine, in cases where the burning area is near a railway line.

Horace's
Sabine Farm.

A few verses, written two thou¬
sand years ago, have made the
little Valley of the Licenza on»*
of the most famous places within
easy reach of Rome. Had Maecenas been less
generous a patron, had he never given the
Sabine Farm to Horace, had Horace never told
the world and his friends how his days there
were spent, few would now make the classical
excursion into the Sabine Hills, though Time
has not marred their beauty. The villa of
Horace has disappeared, to the joy of scholars
and archaeologists, who, as it is. can go on
arguing indefinitely over its exact site. But the
narrow valley, the stream running thiough it,
and the enclosing hills are as Horace
left them, and as lovely. Now, as in
his day, if you go from Rome to
Tivoli, and from Tivoli to Vicovaro,
and here turn up the Valley of the
Licenza and wander on by road—as
you must, for there is no railway—
you will come, some few miles fur¬
ther, to a great rock, that springs
abruptly from the lower slopes and
tilts over them at a melodramatic
angle. This is “ the citadel Horace
had to scale ” to reach his house,
and it marks the boundaries of the
farm. The only difference is that
the little brown village of Rocca-
giovine rises on top, where of old
stood the Temple of Vacuna, already
in ruins when Horace sat under its
shadow to write to his friend in Rome.

The little village has done its best to
meet its classical responsibilities, and
has given the name of the temple to
its Piazza. But men have forgotten
the Roman goddess who was wor¬
shipped in this high shrine, while
they still honour the Roman citizen
whose estate happened to begin just
here and who happened himself to
be a poet. Horace needs no Piazza
named after him, no tablets set up
to his memory on castle or temple
walls. He has his memorial. “ more
durable than brass,” in the country
itself, the country of the Odes and
the Epistles. Here still are the olives
that pay the Sabine farmer best, and
the vines that yield the rough little
Sabine wine that Horace has made
more renowned than many a rarer
vintage ; here are the hills where he
wandered, and the woods that gave
acorns to his flocks and dense shade
to him; here the silence and the
peace, and the fresh wind blowing
from the mountains; and here the
babbling spring and the banks upon
which he rested in the cool grass
during the hours he counted his
happiest : the Bandusian spring to
which he promised immortality in his
song. And as he promised so he
gave. Not merely, the spring, but all
that vast estate, which the satirists of
his time would have had men believe
was but “ a lizard’s hole,” he has
made immortal. It is he who has

comprised ten large wagons, for transport ing sick
and wounded, and had a force of 192 officers and
men of the R.A.M.C. attached to it, and 59 of
the Army Service Corps. The number of men
attached to each field-ambulance was thus 251,
and the total medical strength which took the
field was 753. It was noticeable that the doctors
were allowed to bear arms, a practice which has
been allowed by the Geneva Convention since the
Manchurian War, when the battlefields were in¬
fested by ghoulish marauders. It is indeed neces¬
sary for the safety both of the doctors and their
patients. The troops employed in the sham-fight
were Regulars. Those who were supposed to be
wounded w'ere marked down by the umpires, who
attached casualty labels to their uniforms. They
were then promptly attended by the doctors
T^^qnd stretcher-bearers, according to the nature
of their imaginary wounds. . Everything was done
as realistically as possible, and was altogether
a very valuable piece of training for the Army
Medical Service.

coal as fuel for all the vessels of the Navy, large
or small, has, pf course, long been
discussed. Numerous experiments
have been made, and continue to be
made, with the result that before long
we may see a revolution in naval
engineering. There are many obvious
advantages in the use of oil fuel in
place of coal. In the first place,
it does away with smoke, which,
besides causing dirt and grime on a
ship, may also beiray her whereabouts
to a distant enemy. With the smoke,
of course, the funnels would likewise
be abolished, thus giving much more
room on deck for the guns, which could
then be made to move round in a
complete circle. Then, too, since
the engines would be fed with oil
almost automatically, the services
of stokers would be rendered un¬
necessary' ; and how terrible their
lot may be in the event of disaster
has been emphasised once more only
the other day by the fate of H.M.S.
Bedford. Possibly the new means
of propulsion would not tend in the
direction of picturesqueness in naval
architecture, but ships of war are not
built as objects of beauty. The battle¬
ships of the future, in fact, will prob¬
ably be extremely ugly, lying low on
the water, mere floating forts. But.
without funnels or boilers, there will
be more accommodation for the crew,
as well as for stores and ammunition.
The marine oil-engine, however, is at
present only in its infancy, and it
may be many years before it ousts
the steam-engine from battle-ships.
Meantime, in Germany, experiments
are being made in the use of oil¬
engines, Messrs. Blohm and Voss,
for instance, having contracted to
build for the Hamburg - American
Sieamship Company a vessel of 9000
tons, to be driven by two Diesel
oil-engines of 1500 brake-horse-power
each. Her speed is to be 12.$ knots.
Even should this experiment suc¬
ceed, however, there is a great differ¬
ence-between driving a 9000-ton ship
at 12^ knots and propelling a battle¬
ship. of over 26,000 tons at a speed
of 30 knots. To a certain extent, of
course, oil has already been adopted
as fuel in the Navy, and is being
used for some smaller vessels.

SCIENCE JOTTINGS.

THE DANGEROUS FLY.

W E are now in the height of the fly-season, and
it behoves us to take ways and means to rid
ourselves and our surroundings of these dangerous
pests. For some years past, warnings have been
issued against flies as carriers of disease, but the
knowledge of the fly’s misdeeds and of the proba¬
bility of its being a very common diffuser of illness
deserves to be much more widely diffused than
seems to be the case to-day. Swarms of flies con¬
stituted one of the Egyptian plagues of old, but
their power to inflict disease upon us has not ceased
with the lapse of the centuries. The part played
by the fly — or rather, flies, foij there are many
species concerned in the work of disease-distribu¬
tion, is due to the fatal facility with which the
insects pick up microbes of all kinds. They are
foul feeders, but their tastes are cosmopolitan, and
so from foul to fair they flit, now on some seething
mass of putrefying material, and the next moment
infecting our milk and other foods. The sooner,
therefore, we all awake to the necessity for ex¬
terminating the fly, the sooner shall we be able to
abolish one powerful means for
the dissemination of infection.

Even the most tender-hearted
old lady who might denounce
the pin-prick of a hypodermic
syringe, experimentally em¬
ployed, can have no objection
to join in the sanitary adjura¬
tion of “ Death to the flies ! ”

For one thing, the work of
extermination may be lightened
by attempts to prevent fly de¬
velopment. I think we may
hold with firmness to ire doc¬
trine that unless there exists
material, mostly putrescent
waste, in which flies breed, or,
rather, pass through their meta¬
morphosis, we are not liable to
be troubled with the swarming
of: the insects. The eggs are
mostly laid in manure, hence the
usually high development of a
fly population near stables. We
may reduce the pest to a mini¬
mum, therefore, if we are care¬
ful to remove all waste from the
vicinity of our abodes. The
dust-bin and its miscellaneous
contents, if it does not form a
nidus for the fly’s development,
must prove at least a powerful
attraction to its vitiated tastes.
The aphorism “ Be clean,”
which constitutes the founda¬
tion-stone of the Temple of
Health, expresses here, as else¬
where, the main idea and
practice in keeping the fly at a

distance, and the disinfection of manure heaps might be
regarded as a subsidiary measure towards repression of the
insect plague. The fly is not libelled without just cause.

AN EXTINCT MONSTER OF THE DEEP. A MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT
SUBMARINE FOUND AT NEW ORLEANS.

During some dragging operations at New Orleans there was found the hull of
an ancient submarine, about sixteen feet long, five feet deep, and four feet wide.
It had two openings, the larger big enough to admit a man, a propeller shait at the
□arrow end, and the remains of two fins, but the propeller blades and the motive
machinery had disappeared. It probably dates from the time of the American Civil
War, for the Confederates are known to have had two submarines. Some have
suggested that it dates from the Anglo French War in 181&

THE "HOLD HER UP” PRINCIPLE APPLIED TO A BATTLE-SHIP i THE AMERICAN WAR - SHIP "INDIANA,”
SHOWING ONE OF HER BRAKE - FINS EXTENDED.

As in rowing, at the command "Hold her up,” the oarsmen can stop the boat suddenly by pressing back the flat of the blade against
the water, so the new brake-lins. which have been attached to the American battle-ship "Indiana,” are designed to stop her by
opening out amidships. This photograph shows the size of the brakes
compared with the vessel. The inventor claims that the brakes, which
have been used successfully on small craft, will stop a ship within her
own length, and thus render collisions at sea a thing of the past. Naval
engineers, however, are sceptical about their use on large vessels, believing
that, if suddenly extended while the ship was going at full speed, they
would tear the hull to pieces. The sea trials of the brakes on the
" Indiana ” will therefore be watched with interest.

regions abroad. In truth, there is scarcely a
disease of infectious nature whose germs are
obtainable by contact which the fly may not
convey abroad. Therefore again, we may say
with the full force of sanitary conviction—“ Death
to the flies ! ”

The list of crimes which are to be laid at
the door of the flies do not, of course, end with
an account of the misdemeanours of Musca
domestica and allied species. Abroad, the ordin¬
ary flies exert their powers of infection even to
a gieater extent than at home. It was tersely
put, as regards the part played by flies in
carrying typhoid fever in the South African
Campaign, that their life was spent between the
jam rations and the latrines.

While in the case of certain malarial diseases,
insects may play the part of hosts to the infect¬
ing germs or particles, and take a share in the
development of the latter, the ordinary flies are
carriers merely, and in this way infection from
the surface of their bodies, from their legs, and
their pioboscides or tongues, becomes a very
easy and simple matter. Even
that terrible disease, infantile
diarrhcea, which rapidly kills
off children under one year old
in summer in our great cen¬
tres, has been credited to the
fly’s powers of infecting the
milk and the sugar used for
sweetening it for infant use.
And in connection with this
disease it has been noted that
it shows a relation in all its
attacks to the rise and fall of
the soil - temperature, and not
to the air heat. The flies, it is
noted, exist and swarm after
the hot weather has passed,
and so the conditions which
influence and control the epi¬
demic are those also which
cause fly - life to decrease or
to prevail.

It is hard to find any com¬
pensating conditions or circum¬
stances which may tend to
mitigate the judgment passed
on the fly as a disease - dis¬
seminator. It does not do much
natural scavenging ; that task
is left to bacteria, which con¬
vert septic matters into harm¬
less substances. I am afraid
the verdict goes against the
fly, without extenuating circum¬
stances being pleaded. It was,
perhaps, significant that one
of Beelzebub’s alternative titles
of old was that of ** Lord of
the Flies.” Andrew Wilson.

Experiments prove that its power of infecting us, due
to its carriage of the germs of disease, is in no
sense a mythical or purely hypothetical idea. Flies
allowed to gain access to expectoration from tuber¬
cular lungs, and then introduced to sterilised media
on which the bacilli of tuberculosis can grow, are
found to infect these media, whereon in due course
grow crops of the bacilli. That they act as carriers of
typhoid fever is not doubted by medical authorities.
They gain access to matter containing typhoid
germs, and they infect milk or other foods. This
kind of infection is all the more dangerous because
it is of subtle kind, and because, in the vast majority
of instances, it remains unsuspected. In Egypt, where
the “sore eyes” of ophthalmia prevail, flies carry
infection from the sick to the hale, and the fly seems
to possess a keen nose for anything disagreeable in
the way of putrefaction or of septic material—a testi¬
mony to its low tastes indeed. Cholera—which happily
troubles us no more, because we ensure the purity
of our water-supplies—is carried by flies in affected

THE LATEST METHOD OF GUN - DISPOSAL: LOOKING AFT ON THE "MINAS GERAES.”

As we had occasion to note when publishing some Illustrations of the “Minas Geraes” on July 30. the most notable feature of the great war-vessel is the superimposed turrets, and
the guns of our newest **Dreadnougnts” are disposed in this way. It was thought that the upper-turret fire would have a bad effect on the guns in the lower turret; but it has been shown
that no more harm is likely to be done to the lower turret in such a case than would be done to the deck when a single turret only was in use. The view is taken from the bows of the
vessel, looking aft, and the guns shown are. in the centre of the picture, the two 12-in. guns of the forward turret, with above them, in the superimposed upper turret (also of heavily
armoured steel), two similar guns of identical size and weight. The ship mounts ten of these in all. Each of the four great guns is fifty feet long (approximately), and weighs upwards of
sixty tons. Each fires a shell 850 lb. in weight (between seven and eight cwt.), the firing charge being 285 lb. of cordite. On top of all is seen a little 3-pounder mounted behind a steel
shield. At either side, and a little in rear of the turrets, are seen, one above the other, two 4'7 in. guns, each firing 45-lb. shells. The “ Minas Geraes" mounts twenty-two of these. The long
guns seen still further aft on either side amidships are two pairs of 12-in. guns, the same as those in the turrets. The overhanging bridge and chart-house are seen over the conning-tower,
and at each side heats on derrick structures for hoisting in and out.— [From a Photograph supplied by Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whii worth and Co.]

12-IN. GUNS ABOVE 12-IN. GUNS: THE SUPERIMPOSED TURRETS

OF THE BRAZILIAN BATTLE - SHIP, "MINAS GERAES."

A TRIAL WATCHED BY MANY NATIONS: FIRING FOUR 12-IN. GUNS ASTERN ON THE “MINAS GERAES.’

The great battle-ship ia here seen firing four 12-in. guns astern—the four guns of her two aftermost turrets, of which one is superimposed above the other, just as is the case at the ship's bows,
and is described elsewhere. The firing was of great interest, as some little apprehension existed in the minds of gunnery experts as to the effect of the blast on the guns* crews in the lower
turret. The experiment, however, proved perfectly satisfactory — although, to avoid possible risks, the men were previously withdrawn from the lower turret. It was plain that they would have
suffered no inconvenience at all in spite of the large guns beiog fired only four or five feet above their heads. The heavy roof of the lower turret proved ample protection. This special trial
was considered so interesting that foreign representatives were specially allowed on board to see it. It will be recalled that in our issue of July 30 we published other most interesting
Illustrations dealing with the great war-vessel—the "Minas Geraes’’ firing the heaviest broadside ever fired by a battle-ship <9013 lb. weight of shot discharged at the same moment), and a

remarkable photograph showing how the gear is stored away for a broadside.

and was for a time applied 10 men and women alike.
St filing fleet was said by Mrs. Montagu to have left off

Vesey, who said to Stillingfleet, “ Don’t mind dress;

THE "LIZARD'S HOLE” IMMORTALISED BY HORACE.

THE SITE OF HORACES SABINE FARM: WITH “THE CITADEL HORACE HAD TO SCALE."—A DRAWING BY JOSEPH PENNELL.

As mentioned in Mrs. Pennell’s interesting article on another page, some of Horace's fellow satirists contemptuously described his famous Sabine farm, which he has immortalised in his poems, as
“a lizard's hole” The farm, which was given to him as a rural retreat by his friend and patron Maecenas, was in the valley of Ustica. thirty miles from Rome and twelve miles from Tivoli.
Its site is a favourite resort of tourists, especially of English people; indeed, it is said that the local peisantry, not understanding why such interest should be taken in a man who had been so
long dead and was not one of the saints, came to believe that Horace must have been an Englishman! The actual position of Horace's house is uncertain. With particular regard to Mr. Pennell's
drawing, we may quote from the article already mentioned: "You will come ... to a great rock, that springs abruptly from the lower slopes and tilts over them at a melodramatic angle. This
is the ‘citadel Horace had to scale* to reach his house, and it marks the boundaries of the farm. The only difference is that the little brown village of Roccagiorine rises on top, where of old
stood the Temple of Vacuna. already in ruins when Horace sat under its shadow to write to his friend in Rome."

at Westminster, the Prince being crowned with a gold chaplet in the shape of a garland, having a gold ring placed on his finger, and having a sceptre of silver given ineo

In later instances a sceptre of gold was substituted for the one of silver.

For some five years past, that patch of London land that is familiarly known as the " Aldwych wilderness" has become each sunnier, under the guidance of Dame Nature a veritable rock-
garden. producing at least fifty different kinds of wild flowers, together with grasses and mosses, and thus, to quote the words of a descriptive writer, "the cynosure of 'bus-top botanists."
Many have been heard to wonder whence come the seeds from which the flowers spring. The theory is that some of them are carried by birds and that (he others are blown by ihe wind

SHOOTING A SHARK WITH WATER: A RIFLE FOR DIVERS.

DRAWN BY H. W. KOEKKOEK FROM A SKETCH BY E. HOSANG.

A GREAT ADVANCE ON THE KNIFE : THE SUBMARINE RIFLE USED AGAINST A MONSTER OF THE DEEP.

When he is working in water infested by sea-monsters likely to do him harm, the diver has at present to rely for his safety on the use of the knife, or. failing that, on a quick return
to the surface. Now comes the invention of Captain Grobl. a German diving-instructor, who has constructed a rifle which can be fired under water, aad is designed for the better arming
of the diver. The most remarkable thing about this is that it fires, not bullets, but water, which is propelled with such force that it has an extraordinary power of penetration. Indeed,
the inventor himself has pierced armour-plate of medium thickness with the water-jet from his weapon. The rifle has a stout barrel, and is loaded with a cartridge cased in india-rubber.
It is worth recalling, perhaps, that experiments were made in the 'sixties with a submarine-rifle firing small explosive projectile* by means of compressed air, but the invention never got

beyond the experimental stage and no details of it are to be had.

before the ^

modern discovery of “local colour”), and
should have placed them in the church, is
not easily to be believed.

Sir Edwin remarks that
if “hit his face” means
“hid his face,” then the poet
means, practically, that “the
real author ” (Bacon, of course)
is writing “ secretly,” “ with his
face hidden behind a niask Qr
pseudonym.” Also, if “ out-
doo’* (with a hyphen) means to
“do-out, 1 -’ then again “the real
face is hidden.”

With these emendations, the
author of the verses means,
“ The figure was cut for
Shakespeare, the engraver
strove with Nature to obliter¬
ate ‘the life’ — the real as¬
pect. Could he but have ex¬
pressed Shakespeare’s wit as
well as he concealed his face,
he would have outdone all
inscriptions on brass.” This
is lucid!

Next, if you count all the
letters in the verses, includ¬
ing “To the Reader” and
the signature, “ B. J.” (Ben
Jonson), and count the two
w’s in the ninth line as four
letters, th« n the letters are 287.
Sir Edwin writes : “ Here

we only desire to say that
we are 4 informed ’ that ‘ The
Great Author’ intended to
reveal himself 287 years after
1623 . . . that is in the present
year, 1910, when very numer¬
ous tongues will be loosened.”

Rowe’s engraving, in 1707,
follows that of 1656. The pre¬
sent monument is, evfin , in
good Jacobean style. The
poet has the right small up¬
turned moustache; but the
copies of 1656 and 1709 are in
no style at all !

Speaking “ as a fool,’.’ T
think that Rowe's print (i7og)
is redrawn after that of 1656.
The two plates differ consider¬
ably, but Rowe’s, I think, is
a draughtsman’s attempt to
improve on Dugdale’s print.
Neither plate can be drawn
from an actual monument of
1623 ; the style bewrays them ;
it is really no style : but the
style, costume, beard, mous¬
tache, and everything in the
actual monument and bust are
what, in 1623, they were likely
to be.

I conclude that the actual
is also the original monument,
and that the plate of 1656 is
designed by a helpless artist,
from vague memory or from a
misleading description.

Sir Edwin says that the
design of 1656 “shows nothing
that -could in any way con¬
nect the man portrayed with
literary work.” No? It says
that “ in his art he surpassed
Virgil ” !

During the excavations on the site of the new Count? Hall to be built by the London County Council, there was found recently,
buried under twenty feet of mud, the remains of an ancient Roman boat, the first to be discovered in this country. It was about
fifty feet Ions and sixteen feet in beam, and shows signs of having been destroyed and sunk. Among various articles found in it
were three coins, one of Tetricus in Gaul (268-273 A.D.), one of Carausius in Britain (286-293), and one of Allectus in Britain (293-296).
These mark clearly the date of the boat, which doubtless formed part of the first British fleet ever built, that of Carausius.
Carausius was a Roman Admiral who fitted out a fleet of galleys against Northern pirates, and in 286 A.D., set himself up as Roman
Emperor in Britain, ruling for seven years till he was murdered bv Allectus In 293 A.D. Allectus in turn was attacked and killed by
Constantius Chlorus in 296 A. D.—(Photographs kindly supplied by the London County Council.]

deed, even among the books of the people
who believe Bacon to have been the author
of Shakespeare’s plays, is “ Bacon is Shake¬
speare,” by Sir Edwin Durning - Lawrence.
Here is an example of Sir Edwin’s style as an in¬
terpreter. VVe have all heard of the first edition
of Shakespeare’s plays in folio, published in 1623,
some years after his decease. The Folio contains
a peculiarly odious “portrait” of the poet, “en¬
graved by Martin Droeshout, London.” If Droeshout
had been aged fifteen when he scratched this effigy
on copper, in place of being fifteen when Shake¬
speare died, there might be some excuse for the boy.

But even if Bacon meant to reveal himself in 1910
(in what way I do not guess), has he not revealed
himself, much earlier, as the author of Shakespeare’s
plays ; and have not “ very many tongues been
loosened,” since Mr. Smith’s, Miss Delia Bacon’s,
and I know not how many other babbling tongues
have been opened on this false scent ?

If Sir Edwin means that he knows, as a matter
of fact, that Bacon left a straightforward authenti¬
cated holograph document, to be opened in 1910,
containing his assertion of his claim to have written
Shakespeare’s plays, then we shall consider the docu¬
ment when produced, like any other historical paper.
But if he means that Bacon, in 1623, said (in the
verses quoted) that
he “ intended to
reveal himself in
1910,” then I take
leave to doubt that
Bacon thought him¬
self a prophet, and
that he, in a pro¬
phetic spirit, had
Sir Edwin Durn¬
ing - Lawrence, or
any “ Baconian”
of to-day, in his
eye.

However, all
these things, in their
general spirit, are
not much unlike the
style of reasoning
of all “ Shakoni-

my ignorance,

Shakespeare’s bust in the church at Stratford-on-Avon.

Look at it, or at any photograph of it: Sir Edwin
gives an example (Plate VI.). The poet, a chubby
bard, holds a quill in his right hand, his left
rests on a paper, both hands rest on a cushion
with tassels. The style (I appeal to better judges,
but 1 think) is of 1620-1630. That an artist, a cen¬
tury, or more than a century, after Shakespeare’s
death, could have thought of and have succeeded in
forging a monument and bust in the manner of 1620

Sh akespeare’s

By means of a remarkable apparatus invented by Mr. Bull. Assistant Director of the Marey Institute, it is now possible to photograph the flight of insects in such a way that every wing-beat
is shown- Two thousand photographs can be taken in a second, thanks, in great measure, to the use of electricity. One of the obvious difficulties that confronted those desirous of making
cinematograph films of insects in flight was the necessity that the insect should pass before the photographic field at the precise moment required. To attain this end, two ingenious devices
were constructed. Both of these are illustrated on this page. In the case of dragon flies and ordinary flies the insect is held captive before the apparatus in an electric clamp, which frees it the
instant the shutter of the cinematograph camera is released. In the case of bees and other insects that hesitate before taking flighr. a glass tube fitted with a mica door is used. So soon as the
mica door is opened by the insect, the shutter of the cinematograph camera is released. An explanatory article will be found on another page of this issue.-[PiioroGRAPHs by Marry Institute and Boyer.]

AN EGYPTIAN “PATRIOT”
EXPOUNDS.

BY MARMADUKE PICKTHALL.

III.—THE RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE OF
EGYPTIAN PATRIOTS.

[Hasan Efendi, student in the School of Law at Cairo,
U<fl holds forth in a coffee-house to a friend .from the
country. The month is April 1910.]

T HOU sayest that the country people fear
that, when we get our way, we shall es¬
tablish a tyranny worse than that of the English ?
Then they misjudge us cruelly. We are civilised men,
who desire nothing earthly save the welfare of our
dear compatriots. The recipient of God’s mercy, the
lamented Mustafa Pasha Kdmil, avowed no other aim
than their true service. He looked forward to the day
when God alone should be our despot, when every son
of Egypt should enjoy
full liberty.

What dost thou mut¬
ter ? It is against re¬
ligion and nature to put
Copts upon an equal
footing with the true be¬
lievers ? That is true, of
course. The Mourned of
the Country and the East
and El Islam, our Mus¬
tafa, knew that as well
as we do. It was because
the English charged us
with fanaticism that he
was gracious to the
Copts, to prove they
lied. The business was
to get the English out
of Egypt. That done,
the Muslims, being in a
vast majority, could keep
the Christians down, he
said, in all urbanity.

He told us that the
English lack true under¬
standing and follow after
vague, absurd imagin¬
ings. Therefore he spoke
to them in terms ab¬
surd. Can we make a
hashshash,*orone whom
God has maddened,
understand by speaking
in the tongue of sober
men ? Must we not in
some degree adopt his
madness ere we can hop^
to move him to a course
desirable ? The late
lamented hero knew their
minds, and saw what
they required of us. He
gave them that which
they required immedi¬
ately, as a mother feeds
her infant when it cries.

He told us they were
really simple, though
they seem unmanage¬
able. They only needed
to be treated in a cer¬
tain manner. He understood them perfectly, while
they had not an inkling of our way of thinking.
Thus the advantage, he said, was on our side.
We had but to learn their catchwords and declaim
them loudly, and feign to espouse their strange illu¬
sions with delight and fervour, in order to enchant
them and obtain our ends. And before all things it
was necessary to dispel their foolish notion that we
were fanatical in our religion.

Fanatical! We are the most tolerant and good-
natured of created beings. Study history! When we
Muslims, sons of the Arab, took this land of Egypt we
offered to the wretched Christian Copts, the aboriginals,
the customary alternative — El Isldm or the sword.
Some chose the sword, and still we slew not all of
them. We let a few live on among us in communi¬
ties, to which we gave protection, even privileges. But
they had forfeited all rights as living creatures ; they
were really dead. Their life,the air they breathed, was
of our bounty. They were no longer true Egyptians,
they were foreigners; their country and their name
had passed to us by conquest. Yet we made pets of

Successor of the Prophet, the high patron
of Islamic progress, the Sultan Abdul
Hamid Khd.11, whom Allah comfort in his
present sorrow. We knew him steadfast
in the Faith, and heard his words with
reverence.

As long as he lived, w f e struggled to
obey his precepts, though Allah knows
obedience gave us pain. Yet even he grew
wrathful when some youthful Copts, presum¬
ing on our condescension, publicly claimed
to be Egyptians like ourselves. + We howled
those madmen down with cries of shame.

But when our hero, our beloved, was gathered to God's
mercy—O the bitter day !—lacking the encouragement
of his example, his inspiring words, we had no heart
to go on acting any longer. We flung aside restraint
and subtlety and let the Copts know what we really
thought of them. A series of articles from the pen
of the learned Sheykh Shawish, editor of Al Lewa ,
couched in the noblest language of invective, made
the vile curs slink back behind their English lords.
They howled to the English for redress, protection.
It was clearly seen then that they were not patriots.
Ah, those articles were worthy to be framed in gold
and hung in palaces! Every reader kissed the page,
with tears and dearth of breath ! It was but fair to
teach those miscreants their true position, seeing that
the English, by their favours, had made them big
with pride and very insolent. We are not fanatical.
We did but utter our complaint of gross injustice,
demanding recogniiion and some gratitude for our
mercies and past kindnesses to these same Copts.
It might have been a lesson to the English; but
they are quite devoid of understanding. In spite of
all our indignation, they continued unashamed in
their fanaticism; they gave to a Copt the highest

honours in our country,

of public discontent such a state of affairs can be. Possibly, there¬

may have found one in the fact that the busiest street in Cairo, »iJ

the boots of the
English, and so rise
to honour. Are not
the English then fan¬

our feet above our
head and keep them

we fanatics to resent a posture at once so undignified
and uncomfortable ? What wonder if, when they

exalted one of these, our cattle, whose life was fairly
forfeit by the laws of conquest, to the highest and
the best-paid post in Egypt, we could bear with their
fanaticism no longer, and so slew the wretch.

Mustafa K&mil told us to bear all things patiently,
sure that Allah Most High would give us peaceful

victory. Yet think not that he wavered in the faith.
He was indeed the best of true believers, and even,

we had given to the

they distress our pil¬

all his measures for
the advancement of El
IslAm. But this matter
of the Copts is the most iniquitous of all their deal¬
ings. They stole our country simply to raise up the few
small Christians whom we cherished and protected.

What words are these, my dear? Thou sayest that,
in the provinces, from whence thou comest, Copts are
not disliked? Ah, that must be because they keep their
proper place and grow not insolent. So long as they
respect us, we are kind to them Have I not told thee,

the stern disciplinarian, the strong-willed organiser who
oven uled and put down everybody who opposed her
knowledge of what ought to be done, and what there¬
fore she meant at any cost to have done, turned into
just the tender nurse in regard to the individual suffer¬
ing patients. Under her rule, the death-rate went dow n
like magic. She was a splendid example of the union
of strength and sweetness which some men seem
erroneously to suppose cannot co-exist in the womanly
character, but which, in fact, are most likely to accom¬
pany one another.

Miss Nightingale has been, almost ever since the
Crimea, an unpaid and unofficial private adviser to
the War Office. The public has no idea of the debt
of gratitude that is due to her for Army reform in
matters of hygienic organisation since the date when
her reputation was made in the throes of a great
national misfortune. The phrase quoted above from
Miss Martineau, for instance, was used, not about the
Crimea, by£ about Miss Nightingale’s contribution to
the reorganisation of the Army in India after the
Mutiny. That debt of national obligation has never
been paid, even in the smallest degree. No sum of
money was ever voted by Parliament to the woman
who did this national seivice; only a private subscrip¬
tion, a voluntary tribute, placed at her disposal the
sum with which she founded the first school of nursing
in this country. Queen Victoria made her a personal
gift of a diamond pendant; but there was no title or
Older offered—not even a sprinkling from the fountain
of honour came till long after, when she was eighty
years old, and at last King Edwaid gave her the Older
of Merit. Doubtless she desiied no rewards, but surely
our fathers ought to have desired to give them and
insisted upon recognising such services.

Water-filtration is an important element in the
preservation of health. The well-known Berkefeld
Filter is of scientific construction, and does not, as
some so-called filters do, contaminate instead of purify¬
ing the water, or fail to destroy all sorts of mischievous
germs. A series of exhaustive scientific experiments
has just been instituted into the absolute value of the
Berkefeld Filter. A large number of microbes were
introduced into the filter in water, and for many days
the water issued forth absolutely sterilised. At the end
of a certain time, the filtering material has itself to be
sterilised by boiling it; but for at least a fortnight after
this has been duly done, the filter is proved able to
resist typhoid and all other germs and render any water
absolutely safe to drink. These filters aie made for
domestic use in several forms, of which a list can
be had from 121, Oxford Street, London.

Travellers particularly require to have their linen
carefully marked. Very convenient as well as perfectly
effective is “ Melanyl,” an indelible marking-ink which
does not need to be exposed to heat or ironing, and is
therefore easy to use under all circumstances, w’hile it
does not injure the most delicate fabric.— Filomena.

THE CHRONICLE OF THE CAR.

W HETHER the French motor-trade is really so
much exercised in mind over the forth¬
coming Anglo-German contest for Prince Henry’s
trophy as some writers make out, or whether, if
invited to do so at this late hour, it would care
twopence to join that exceedingly orderly and in¬
herently inconclusive procession, are two very open
questions. Indeed, the odds are that it would
not, being confronted with the prospect of the
clear-cut definitions of a race projected on inter¬
national lines.

The whole matter is one of point of view.
With a single eye to car-improvement, all prac¬
tical men inside and outside the motor-trade
know what the advantages of racing are and
always have been. On the other hand, if advertise¬
ment is the sole object of the competing firms, it
must be admitted that racing is a poor and ex¬
pensive one for all but the three or four leading
cars at the finish. It has become quite clear that
the now dominant section of our own motor-trade
take the latter view. So, unless the more ent'er-

Truly, the new Road Board will scarcely be to I
blame if for some considerable time it pauses before
propounding any definite scheme of road-improve¬
ment ; still more, before spending any of the money'
of motorists, since the only net result of the past two!
years of international road conferences is a mere
statement of individual beliefs, and for the rest, a
general agreement to differ as to methods. It may
therefore be helpful to ignore these esotoric trans-
actions, for the sake of reviewing more clearly and
briefly the results of practical experience. For one
thing, it is sun-clear by this time that the mere tar -1
painting of unreformed road - surfaces is a shin-
plaster method of only temporary benefit as regards
dust-laying alone. Furthermore, it is a distinct and
continuous evil in regard to its effect upon all i
adjacent vegetation. It has been shown to have
no improving effect upon macadam, and to be
only a binder for the carefully graded materials
used in the Gladwell, Maybury, and other systems.
which amount to remaking the road surface. And
then, its colour remains as the most practical objec- |
lion. For by rendering the road-surface indistin¬
guishable at night, not only from the surroundings,
but from all transitory objects that may be upon it

that allows one to consider
such an argument for a moment.

From all that can be up

& at any moment, the risk to the latter, not to men¬
tion the motorist and his car, is notably increased.
The various, almost colourless, saline and other
dust-laying solutions, of course, are not open t£ this
objection ; but, on the other hand, they are hopelessly
impermanent. The need of the moment, then, seems to
be some substance with little or

_no colour, but with all the adhe-

sive and binding quality of tar.
Which moves one to ask whether
liquid silicate of lime — which
possesses all these qualities—has
ever been tried ?

It makes us almost happy to
think that there are still some
people, actually motorists, who
escape taxation. These, by the
grace of the Lords Commissioners
of the Treasury, are our foreign
visitors—who had hitherto been
liable to pay, even though staying
in the country only a few days—
and who, in their present exemp¬
tion, have yet another reason to
reflect what a grand and happy
thing it is to be an Englishman,
Scotsman, or Irishman, ruled by
a Welshman. For this they have
chiefly to thank the R.A.C., who.

another ; so we can only extend our sympathies to who made this section one of the most interesting sumably wealthy foreign visitors, flew to their aid. And

you must retain a band of skilled musicians,
a matter of prohibitive cost, or you can get an
Aeolian Orchestrelle. This unique instrument is
the equivalent in tonal qualities of all the instru¬
ments comprising the orchestra. On it you can
play, just as an orchestra would play for you, all
the orchestral music ever composed. \ou do not
require any technical knowledge of music to play
the Aeolian Orchestrelle. Your musical taste and
insight are all that is necessary to a finished perform¬
ance of the immortal works of Beethoven, Bach,
Haydn, etc., etc. And you will derive more
pleasure from the Aeolian Orchestrelle than you
would from conducting an orchestra. The music
you actually play yourself must be the greatest of
all musical delights. You colour the music with
the tonal qualities of any and all the instruments
you care to ; the rendering is your personal achieve¬
ment. You will fully understand what a remark¬
able instrument it is by calling at Aeolian Hall and
playing some of the compositions you care for on
the Aeolian Orchestrelle. In the meantime why not

it the essayist would travel “ for the sake of a tin^e

ernoon, or a degree of moonlight, or a mood of dawn,
a colour of twilight, at least as often as for a view,

le drawback of such travelling is its uncertainty.
ie cathedral can always be found, and*we may depend
•on the mountain ; but for the incommunicable thrill
dawn or of evening we might travel all one summer
vain. The understanding of light comes not from
gular attendance upon the twilights, noon, or the sunset,
is a spiritual experience that is more often a memory

For the convenience of travellers to and from
ustralia, arrangements have been made between the
'rient Line and Messrs. George Thomson and Co.,
hereby return tickets are now issued to passengers
vailable by the Orient Line via Ceylon and Suez, and
>r return by the Aberdeen line via the Cape of Good
lope, or vice versa.

As usual, the monthly list of records issued by the
jramophone Company (for August) contains some very
ttractive numbers. In band music, for instance, there
s the “ Marche Hongroise,” which is a setting of the
‘ Racocsky March ” by Berlioz, played by the Band of
he Coldstream Guards. The tenor songs include two
iung by Mr. John Harrison, “The Night has a Thou¬
sand Eyes” (Frank Lambert) and “Across the Blue
Sea” (Lord Henry Somerset), while a popular bass
song given is Phipps’ “ Down Among the Dead
Men,” sung by Mr. Robert Radford. A charming duet,
sung by Miss Allen and Miss Thornton, is “ I know
a bank where the wild thyme blows ” (C. Horn). There
are also some effective instrumental records. But the
most interesting of all is the unique record of the song
of a nightingale, the first of its kind to be obtained.

For motoring tourists, airmen, and aeronauts the
“Guide Routier et A6rien Continental” for 1910,
published by the makers of the famous “Continental”
tyres, will be found to be an extremely useful travelling
companion. It covers France, Algeria, Tunis, and the
north of Spain ; it is well furnished with maps of the
various localities, and gives all necessary information
about routes, hotels, and places of interest, with a
list of addresses where “ Continental ” tyres and
other motor accessories can be obtained. The guide,
which was first published in 1904, has been added
to each year, and is now thoroughly up-to-date.
Copies of the “Guide Routier Continental” can be
obtained by motorists from the Touring Office Conti¬
nental, 146, Avenue Malakoff, Paris, for merely the
cost of packing and postage, which, for residents in
France, is one franc if sent to a provincial address,
forty centimes to an address in Paris. The guide can
also be obtained from all “ Continental ” stockists,
motor-manufacturers, and hotels in France.

MUSIC.

the more exclusive performances of music
V V are, for the moment, in abeyance, and great
soloists are enjoying a well-earned rest or are busy
rehearsing for provincial festivals, London contrives to
enjoy no small allowance of popular performances. Not
only do the Promenade Concerts draw large, tireless, and
enthusiastic audiences to the Queen’s Hall, including,
sad to say, men who still strike matches furtively under
the cover of a tutti and demand encores when they
know that they should not do so, there are rival attrac¬
tions entering the arena. On Monday night next the
Carl Rosa Company, which in its time has done such
splendid spadework in fields that musical enterprise had
left wholly unfilled, starts its tour at the Kennington
Theatre, and after a week there, will go for another
week to :he Marlborough Theatre, at Holloway, and
then to the Broadway, at New Cross. The Carl Rosa
Company recently produced Goldmark’s " Queen of
Sheba” in Manchester, and this work is now to be
heard in London for the first time. Other operas that
have all the quality of freshness as far as London
audiences are concerned are Smetana’s “Bartered
Bride,” of which the most of us know no more
than the overture; “La Forza del Destino,” one
of yerdi’s earlier works, still popular in Italy ; Der
Freischutz,” which some of us have had the good
fortune to hear under the baton of Nikisch ; Gounod’s
“ Romdo et Juliette,” always welcome if it be well sung,
and Mozart s “ Magic Flute.”

This programme affords ample evidence of the
energy of those who direct a little company that
has played a worthy part in the history of English
musical development, and there is much education
for the amateur in close attention to the details
of these performances. At the great opera-houses we
are apt to lose sight of the difficulties of performance
and the details of composition ; players and singers are
among the first in the world. But the more modest
companies, though they give praiseworthy perform¬
ances enough, cannot aspire to the same high stand¬
ard; in theatrical parlance, they do not “join their
flats ” with the same consummate ease, and the
listener, if he chance to have a score, can grasp
more of the difficulties that face conductor and
singers than he will gain even from a dress rehearsal
at some old-established house. It would be hard to
overestimate the difficulties or the labours of the con¬
ductor who must weld into shape material that requires
constant attention and assistance, whose eye and hand
must be ever on the alert. The task is great and the
reward small, but there must be a measure of consolation
in the unity that performances gain when they are given
over and over again by the same company, in which
each individual member is doing his best and in which
many of the troubles familiar to the impresario who

gathers his talent from the four points of the compass
are happily unknown.

It must be a matter of regret to many that Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Moody - Manners, who had a successful
summer season at the Lyric Theatre last summer, have
not entered the field again. They are to be heard in
London, but at the Hippodrome, where their art is
adding to the attractions of the variety theatres ; and
remembering how long they wooed London in vain, it
seems a pity that they have not chosen to continue
work that had at last won its way unaided save by
its own considerable merits. They had done enough
to show that the Metropolis will not remain altogether
indifferent to sound artistic enterprise.

Their place will be taken—we have yet to see if
it will be filled—by a new venture, a short season of
opera in Italian, which is to start next Thursday at
the Kingsway Theatre. Rossini’s “Barber of Seville” is
the first opera to be given. The great success of the
Castellano Company, which seems to have secured the
support of British opera-goers all England over, is,
perhaps, responsible irf part for the undertaking.

Those who will take a holiday next month will be
interested to know that the Brighton Railway Company
are announcing a special fourteen-day excursion from
London to Dieppe, Rouen, and Paris on Friday and
Saturday, Sept. 2 and 3, by the express day or night
service. Full particulars can be obtained of the Con¬
tinental Traffic Manager, Brighton Railway, Victoria
Station.

In 1913 the world will celebrate the centenary of the
birth of Dr. Livingstone, the heroic missionary and
explorer of Africa, and a scheme is on foot to com¬
memorate the event in a practical and nationally inter¬
esting manner, by benefiting Charing Cross Hospital,
where he was a student, so as to restore it to the full
measure of usefulness, of which it has been long deprived
though want of funds. The hospital authorities propose
to open a “ David Livingstone Centenary Million
Shilling Fund,” so as to reopen the closed wards (contain¬
ing no fewer than eighty-seven beds) for the relief of the
sick and suffering. The Rev. A. VV. Oxford, M.D., of
the hospital, is organising the fund, and wishes to hear
from friends willing to take collecting cards or books.
Those who give to the Million Shilling Fund will aid
in commemorating one whose name is honoured
throughout Christendom.

Absolutely indispensable to all motorists touring in
Fiance and Switzerland are the Michelin Guides to those
countries. They are marvels of classification and con¬
venience, containing a vast amount of information in a
space so compressed as to form a handy pocket volume.
The main plan of the guides is a division in three parts,
of which Part 1 . gives all particulars about tyres and a
list of dealers who stock Michelin goods. Part II. consists
of a very full alphabetical directory of towns, with all
details required in touring and frequent maps; Part III.
comprises useful general information. In addition to
all this, there is at the end the Michelin Atlas, con¬
taining a number of sectional maps in four colours,
with a key-map to the whole. The character of the
different roads is very clearly indicated. The most
wonderful thing about these guides is the scientific
system on which they are planned, which, by the
use of signs and abbreviations, enables as much
information to be given as, if written out in full
in consecutive language, would, fill several bulky
volumes. In this connection it is interesting to see how
a new use is found for the ancient method of picture-
writing. For instance, a tiny hieroglyphic representing
a wheel means that there is a Michelin stockist in the
town; a picture of an engine indicates that there is a
railway station ; an envelope represents a post-office, an
egg-cup and fork a small inn, a monoplane a repair-shop
for aeroplanes, etc. Copies of the Michelin Guides,
which can be had in English, French, or French-
English together, can be obtained from all Michelin
“Stockists,” from any of the manufacturer^, repairers,
and hotel-keepers mentioned in the Guide, pr by send¬
ing sixty centimes for postage to Michelin Guide,
Clermont Ferrand, Puy-de-D6me.
