Threatens to De—stroy Village in the Valley. The moving Welsh mountain le ad- vancing slowly but surely on the villages of Troedyraiwfwch arid Sebastopol, In the Rhymney Valley. The garden of the village inn at Troedyriewfwch has been swepe away, but curiously enough, the inn. which lies between the garden and the moun- tain, Is Intact. The reason for this Is that it was practically rebuilt some time ago on a gelid foundation of rock. Close to the inn Is a belt of oedland en which all the trees are droopina. Every house in Sebastopol bears traces of damage. Most of the doore have been wrenched out of shape, and the keystones over ahem and the win- dows 1111141 been forced out of poste, m.

Tournament Will Present Spectacle From the Days of Chivalry: One of the most picturesqu,e sPectacles ever witnessed in London; is to be pro- vided at the forthcoming Royal Navy and Military tournament. It Is nothing less than a revival of the military sport of the Micelle Ages, :n which armor -clad knights on horseback. equipped with long lances, engage in fierce tilting combats. They will be picked riders' and swordsmen from crack cavalry regiments. "Tilting in Tuder Times," is the tale chosen for the display, and Col. Ricardo, who has charge of all tae military ar- rangements connectibn with the. tournament, informed a press represen- tative recently that it was Intended 'to produce as exact an imitation as pos- sible of the ancient tilting tournament as it existed in the days of Henry VIII. In the preparation of the tilting con- tests, Colonel Ricardo Is to have the lisststanee ef Viscount Dillon, curator et the TOWer Armories. He is the greatest living authority on ancient armor and costume, so that the display is likely to be historically accurate in every particu- lar. There is to be no Queen of Beauty. "We have discoverod," said Colonel Ricardo yesterday, "after careful historical re - seater, that no Queen of Beauty was ever present at the tilting contests in the olden days. There will be no- ladies at all in the display. The number of men who wifi take part in the tilling will be be- tween three and four hundred, including knights. squires arid men-at-arms." Another strieing feature of the tourne- ment will be a series of great military tattoos. Among the troops which wilt take part in this will be the brigade of Guards, the Household Cavalry, both of these with massed bands, two regiments SAVE. CSLIAILOID.

The best example Chat we isave of Me old lino of battleship' is the Victory. She cost about /0800 to build, and her armament would •bring the cost to about £100,000. A modern battleship of the first-class costs about £1,250,000, fully armed. The frigates et Nelsen's time averaged from £13,0.10t 10 £22,000 each. Our ordinary cruiser costs about £600,000.

OFF THE HOOK. The British Post-oillee authorities aro conducting a series of experiments to overcome the inconvenience caused by careless subscribers who, utter using tbe telephone, leave the' receiver off the rest.
