SKETCHING THE ROUTE.

cord. In • the opiniOn 01 tlie managers

ternational Sleeping Car, Company, the

Culatide entirely, for thee would not re-
duce the Atlantic voyage suffleiently to
make up tor the inevitable loss of time
in crossing England and' the English
channel. Both these experts say the
sikediest route team New York to St.
Petersburg is unquestionably by a
steamer landing its passengers at a
Continental port, a French liner to Le
Mere, or a German liner te Cherbourg,
or even to Bremen or Hard:erg. As the
Traes-Siberian trains run only twice a
weetcy starting from Moscow on Wed-
nesdays and Saturdays, one would have
:to 'Select his steetner with a view to
makieg the closest possible connections.
- Five hours must be allowed from 'Cher-
beurg to Paris, forty-seven hours from
Peels to St. Petereburg and 12 from St.
PetersbUrg to Moscow. That is the ae-
'Nal running time of the trains, and
enother twelve hours must be addeft
forftnaking conriecllons and waiting for
tro es. If the traveller go via Bremen
he must allow about thirty-six hours for
the railway journey from there to Mos-
. cow.
At Moscow he boards the Trans-
Siberian Express, bet ho would make a
great mistake if he were to go to Vladi-
vostok, for on reaching there he would
have to make inquiries as to the next
bolt leaving forJapan and he might
have wait lieveral days before one

ANIMALS' INSTINCT.
How Cat3 and Dogs Travel Through
Unknown Places.
A writer in the Monthly Review, Mr.
C Bingham Newland, argdes that irk
stinct Is a factor in the migration and
Movements of birds, animals. and in -
setts. It is a guiding power distin'ci.
frem intelligence, and leads them to
localities far h4110yed from the place ef
departure—in the case of insects to
ceuntrles where, in the nature of things,
;they can 'never •previously have visited.
Instinct is motion of certain nerve cells
'which have become fixed by frequent
practice or by .heredity.
Animais have this faculty (instinct)
highly developed, , whereas man pos-
stases it only in a very niodifiesidegree.
Man, before committing himeelf, re-
Ilects, and then acts accordingly, as his
own individual intelligence prompts
him. Animals, on the contrary. rely brt
the accumulated knowledge of thousands
of generations of their kind, which is
stored up in nerve cells ready for im-
mediate use as occasion may require.
A man lost in a forest, without me-
chanical aid (compass), and unable to
take observations, would in all proba-
bility fail td find his way out; but an
animal, having the homing instinct, is
never at a loss providing the way is
possible.
A cat, eight months old, the writer
relates, \vas sent in a shut -up basket to
a village sonie ten miles out of the
town of Nice. On the third day the
same animal reappeared at its former
quarters. In this and like cases there
can be no question of landmarks. In-
stinct it is, and instinct alone, which
accounts for these acts.
People exclaim, "What marvellous
sagacity." The occurrence Causes as-
tonishment because it is the performi-
ance of on interior animal, and one
beyond the attainment of man, with all
his superior knowledge. But though we
marvel, these demonstrations are only
the Inevitable outcome of a natural law
(law et heredity).

"'They aro good and pretty,' I an-

Foot Covering Becoming as Solt and
Pliable as Gloves.
Boots and shoes as thin and as pli-
able as gloves are probable In the near

In response to the demand of the
public, boots for some time have been
steadily becoming thinner and lighter.
and now, with glace kid supreme in
the place of patent leather, there are
boots in shop windows so pliable, In
spite of quite normal strength, that heel
and toe might be bent to meet without
detriment to shape. Why not have
boots approximating to gloves? the pub-
lic has begun to ask—boots with flexible
soles n little thicker than the uppers,
which shall fit the foot with the fightneas
and closeness of silk? To this ideal the
bcotmakers are rapldly approaching.
"For n long lime past," sald a manu-
facturer in London, "the public has
been asking for thinner soles and thin-
ner uppers. The lighter the boot the

The question, however, is whether
even the Hist kind of leather will

" A LONG SHOT.
The inventor declares that he could

kind which Would be capable of hurling

Of ninety miles. Such a weapon in the
poSsesSion of the French would allow
them to shell London without leaving
their men territory.
The balpine dirrigible torpedo, the in-
ventien, of Lieldenant Halpine, ot the
UnitecVetates Navy, will probably play
an important part in the next war.
This skiff, which is attached to the
torpedo by a cable, Ls fitted with a kind
of controller board, which, by the turn-
ing of a crank, sets the torpedo's elec-
tric mechanism in motion. The torpedo
and the frail boat then put out to sea,
and‘the man in charge brings them to a
standstill about three miles from the
ship which is to be attacked.
Dropping an anchor out of his boat,
he mounts the torpedo, sitting astride,
end releases Atte cable. Restarting the
machinery, the torpedo dashes forward
at a terrific speed, and the man has to
hang on for very life.

When well within the Atte limit he
guides the torpedo towards the ship,
and then flings himself into the sea, re-
lying solely upon a cork jacket to keep
him afloat and assist him to regain his
skiff.
The torpedo dashes on its mission,
and when its "nose" runs into the steel
netting of the ship—all ironclads are
protected by netting in wartime—the
propeller automatically reverses and the
weapon retreats, leaving its "nose" in the
net.
As the torpedo reverses and the "nose"
continues to hold fast, a leaden cap is
palled oil the former by a chain at-
tached to the latter, and' a cavity con-
taining metallic pntassium is disclosed.
The action of the air and water upon
the coniente of this cavity forces a pro-
jectile through a tube in the under -body
of tho torpedo. This proJerteile is at-
fliched to the clinging "nose" also by a
chain, and sinks below the sea at an
angle of forty-flve degrees.
When it come.s to the end of its tether,
about one hundred feet down, it strikes
upwards, and Is pretty certain to ex-
plode under tho hull of the battleship
and away from the netting, thus sending
the vessel to her doom.

his agonies he had almost dug himself
a grave with his hands in the gravelled
walk. The rain was 'louring in torrents
so that we Could find no blood marks

side the church grounds we found a

All the police and all the hospitals
in East Anglia have been warned, but
no clue has been found, beyond a report
that a tall man and a short man Were
seen loitering at Lowestoft. and hired a

MOBBED BY BEES.
A Traveller's Experience Willi
Honey -Seekers tn Abyssinia.
Dees abound in certain parts of Abys-
sinia, and, as the land Is almost water-
less in the dry season, the insects suf-
fer much from thirst. In "The Source
uf the Blue Nile" is an Interesting ac-
count of the manner in which, on his
journey, the author wee mobbed by
bees, which were after his drinking
water.
Every drinhing vessel was crowded
with them. Our boys drank from cala.
bashes, and when they were put upon
the ground, bees clustered on the edges
and crawled toward the liquor. Impa-
tient successors thronged upon the first
comers and pushed them into the we-
te• so that in a few minutes, the sur-
face was a moss of "struggle-fordiftere."
In spite of the heat we had to keep mov-
ing: for when we settled, so did the
bees—all over us.
We halted for luncheon In a small rro
vine. and the bees did not find us 1111
we had nearly ilnialted the meal. We
smoked them with cigarettes, rigors,
find a bonfire, to no purpose. Then we
shifted our quarters, but they followed.
All of us were stung. and we were erg
quit of them 1111 we mounted our cam-
el.; and outdistanced the swrirm.
They get their their honey from the
flowere of the mimosa -tree. Wo camp -
el that night among the mimocae, think-
ing that we hod been delivered from
the plague of insects, but we were mis-
taken. A host of the honey -seekers
thronged and crawled on one's candle,
one's book, one's face and one's hands,
adding Insult to injury by Minging
it was more than twenty -tom hours be -
.fore we were free from them.

GOVERNMENT'S TASK.
The Government's sharesin this work
it may be said, should consist in sedu-
lously cultivating an attitude ot tactful
and prattical sympathy towards colon-
ial growth and aspirations, co-operating
where possible in matters of common
Interest that make tor closer union and
mutual understanding; for instance, in
such matters as inter -Imperial postal
and 'cable facilities, which alone would
go far to consolidate the Empire and
bring the local conditions and needs
and the local point of view of each part
home to the people in every other pert;
in fostering inter -Imperial trade and
commerce, by such means as the ap-
pointment of official commercial agents
in the colonies, the despatch of com-
mercial missions, etc., In promoting a
fuller knowledge of the resources et
each of our possessions by every rea-
sonable means, so that their investiga-
tion and development by Britons should
follow as a natural consequence.

so be done by the Government for the
colonies through our schools, by mak-
ing provision that the rising generation
should receive throughout school life

them would never appear other than a
welcome nad a natural idea.
Other than official activity might al-
so be used. He suggests that the clergy
becotne educated in colonial knowledge,
that they may advise their parishlon-

of clerical advisers in the eulonle.s who
might felso emigrant on ;wheal.

VERY STRONG.
Sueh a combination of layers Is very
resistant, both Lt) the pressure ot the
gas and to the moisture, which is one
of the well known features to be met
with in the polar regions. Seeing that
the rubber is. attacked by the atmos-
phere, it is not a usual thing to place
It on tho outside of the balloon; but
In the present case It has been Used for
a number of reasons, the principal
ones being that the airship will be in
use but comparatively short time, and
that it was desired to have a smooth
surface and especially to avoid the pene-
tration of moisture Int° the tissues of
the balloon, which would 'woo a
down.
SHORT BODY.
"What is striking about the whole
construction is the practical ideas which
prevail in the design of all the parts.
Thus instead of using a long cigar -
shaped body, Mr. Godard preferred to
ehorten up tho balloon considerably,
and give a length which is only three
limes the largest diameter, so as to
make it quite steady and easy to handle
In the filling operations as well as 111
the actual flight. Thus we have a bal-
loon whose total length Is 160 feet and
greatest diameter 52 feet. A long guide
rope will trail upon the ice so us to
steady tho airship's flight. For these
different reasons it will be seen that
tilesiesecnheaduc„es of accident are very much
The car Is suspended by steel piano
wires, and at each end is 0 propeller
driven by a separate motor. Between
them is Liu) main "deck" and also the
"viten" which is thus described:
"The ninth cabin, made of osier, Is
somewhat uhove a man's height mid

having almost -a cubical form. On el.
tiler side are six windowe of a light

A complete set of wirelesIdelegraphy

lion by each Public school of an agri-
cultural training extension scheme in
prinelpal colonies, on the lines of
the successful experiment of the Berk-
laimpstead School Training Form in
Noriii-AVest Canada. The eim of this
school is to train the boys electing a
