Qo Ruble Display A'unique survival of London's „river pageantry, the 065,year- old Queen's Barge has recently been housed in a new barge hbuse, an extension of the fa- mous- Maritime 'Museum et Greenwich, England. Apart from a brief appearance at a London boat exhibition in 1955,, the Queen's §hallop, as it is celled, hag never before been on public display. It was then shown side by side with the Duke of Edinburgh's Cowslip and beet little by comparison with that sleek, Modern racing yacht. Forty-two feet long but less than seven feet in the beam, the Shallop itself has the slim, smooth, polished lines of a fast craft. The barge was built in 489 by King William III for his Queen Mary •eI, From then to the early years of this century the barge was rowed by genera- tions of scarlet -uniformed royal Watermen when the Severeign went to or from the City to Westminster by water. For such royal occasions the composer Handel wrote his Water Music. After languishing in the royal boat house at Windsor for more than 30 years,,the barge has pow been restored to its former glory. It has an emerald green keel, polished oak planking, paintwork ,of scarlet and gold, and the Hanoverian coat of arms on the stern — in short a won- derful 'example of seventeenth century boatbuilding. The new bargehouse is a long, narrow structure with a high- pitched roof, filling what used to be an open way between two of the existing galleries. One end ' of the building was not bricked up until the .royal barge was installed. A search for historical data in relation to the barge yielded little of importance. • Either trecords were not kept, or they have been lost. It is known, how- ever, that the barge carried King George V and Queen Mary three times during the present century down the course at the Henley Regatta 'in 1912; on the Thaines at Eton the next year; and during the river pa- ' geant of 1919. ' Another royal barge e built for "• Piinee " Frederick; Prince of Wala In 1732', is also' installed in Ale ;barge houge., ,This is a moed, oende, craft with; a state cabin decorated with gilded liens and dolphin's. , " , Other harges'are to be added to the collection in the near fu- ture.

T,Wo 1,3ears, Irene Berne, SWite- erlancl, were recognized as cap- able witnesses thirtY years ago when 'one of the assistant keep- ers of a bear pit brought charges of cruelty against the head keeper. The head 'keeper decided, with official permission, to call two of the bears as witnesses for his defence. He appeared' for trial followed by the bears, the sight of which caused several people to leave the court hurriedly. The prosecution witness de- scribed how the animals, in- cluding the two which had been brought into the court-room, had been badly treated by the head keeper. Counsel for the accused then introduced as the only witnesses for his client, the bears them- selves. The accused's lawyer then led the bean before the bench. The complaining Witness and several other Attendants of the bear pit Were asked to come down from their seats and confront the bears. To the surprise of everyone extent the head keepet and his lawyer, one of the bears showed his dislike for the prosecution 'Witness and his coinpainotis by Moving Menacingly towards them in an attempt to adrninie ster a savage blow.

A PANAPIAN. •11Q0K .OWN AND: TREASURE. SIX YCARS QE WAR; the of- ficial ldstory Of the Canadian Army in the Second World War. by Col. C, P, Stacey; Director Historical. Section, General Staff, This is the first volume of the Official History Of the Canadian Army in the Second World War, It deals with events in Canada, with, the experience of the Army in Britain (including the raiding operations conducted ,from the British base), and with the war against Japan. The operations of Dieppe and. Hong Kong are described more fully than in any previous account. This volume is based upon more thorough research than was pessible in the case of . Colonel Stacey's earlier 'Offi- cial Historical Summary". The Canadian Army 1939-46, which won a Governor-General's award in 1948, It is the product of ex- haustive investigation in Cana- dian, Allied and enemy records. Born in Toronto, Colonel C. P. Stacey is a graduate of the University of Toronto, and later studied at Oxford and Princeton. Before the Second World 4.3Var he was a member of the elietory Department of Princeton -pv- versity. He is the author. of "Canada and the British! Artily, 1846-1871" (1936) and "The Mili- tary Problems of Canada" (1940), and has written numer- ous articles and pamphlets on his- torical and military subjects. He has also done historical broad- casting. In 1948 he published "The Canadian Army, 1939-45: An Official Historical Summary". This book" 'received the Gover- ner-General's Award for Acade- mic gon-Fiction for that year. In 1951 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and is now its Honorary Corres- ponding Secretary. He was Presi- dent Of the. Canadian Historical Association, 1952-53. In 1940 he returned from the U.S. to join the Army and was appointed Historical Officer at Canadian Military Headquarters, London. He supervised the his- torical programme of the Cana- dian Army Overseas during the rest of the war, visiting the Canadian fronts in Italy and North-West Europe. He was ap- . pointed Director of the Histori- cal Section of the General Staff in 1945. The 'book is illustrated with a Frontispiece in full colour, 38 photographs in black and white, 14 maps of which 7 are in col- our and — especially at the ex- tremely moderate price of $3.50 — is one which should be in every library, both institutional and Private. Bloodhounds On The Trail! "Old Boston," leader of a Pack Of Oklahoma bloodhounds, had, tracked, down More than a bun- , dred criminals. Now, in his old. age, he found it hard to, keep patient, especially with Ming policemen, If his handler could net keep pace while out on the trail, be would turn on him, almost testily. Once the old clog broke Way ,on 4 hot scent, his hand lers lost him and be was gone all night, He limped home early the next morning, thoroughly disgusted, He had tracked his quarry all right, and had ehaeiel him till the Man took refuge in a tree, All night long they stayed there, and every so often "Old Boston" looked round and growled disgustedly because no policemen came. At length, when daylight came and nobody had arrived to finish the job, "Oid Boston" got fed up and went home. The bloodhound has been bred in England since before the Norman Conquest. With his heavy shoulders, deeply fur- rowed mask and bloodshot eyes he looks fierce and formidable, but he is, in fact one of the sweetest natured dogs. He was given the name bloodhound, not because he was out for blood, but because he was a blooded hound, an animal of highly selective breeding. It has been suggested that the bloodhound would be more suit- able for police work if he were hardier. Experiments were made to produce a cross be- tWeen the bloodhound and the rough-coated otterhound. When the puppies had grown suffi- ciently they were put on trial with a good deal of success, and it is hoped that a breed will be evolved with all the stamina of the otterhound, plus the won- derful scenting powers of the bloodhound. Even when unable to lead di- rectly to the'criminal, the blood- hound can sometimes indicate a valuable clue. Some years ago, a hound was brought to an English country house where there had been a burglary. He ambled round the garden and suddenly picked up a scent.' With tail wagging furiously, he sniffed- his way to 'a clump of bushes and then, 'thoroughly pleased with himself, looked up at his handler. Under the bush was an envelope which had been through the post and which led to the identification of the burglar. In another case, a well-known bloodhound breeder helped the Scottish police investigate the murder of a small 'boy on the east coast of Scotland. The scent was considerably more' than a day old but was undsturbed because there had been no wind to blow it away, SNAPPY REED HARVEST - These men in Berlin, Germany, wel- comed recent freezing weather. It froze all the surrounding lakes, making reed h&•vesting a snap. The men didn't have to worry about getting wet, as they could walk right up to the reeds and cut them at ice level. and because a heavy fog had kept people at home. The dogs set to work, picked up a trail and even managed to follow it along the main road with its numerous strange scents. Eventually the trail came to where the road forked. One fork led to a town, the other con- tinued towards the railway sta- tion. Without hesitation, the hounds led on to the station. Police sent a description to sta- tions up and down the line and. the murderer was caught. In Sussex, in 1934, two police- men investigating a burglary came upon a man on the out- skirts of 'the town, He drew' a revolver and fired, wounding one of the officers, and then made off., elundreds of police :were ed out to beat the commons thick with gorSe. By' chance a ' woman Vibe bred: bloodhounds was staying ,in, a, Sussex hotel and had two heeinds *with her.

He was a desperate man, known to be armed, who had already done one shooting. The' state troopers brought "Old Red" their bloodhound, and began the hunt. As they slowly closed in Old Red seem- ed to Arnow that the fugitive was , armed for he became. very cautious. At length, every hair a-quiver, he crawled through some undergroweh on his belly, the troopers creeping 'behind. Suddenly ' the great hound tore loose and shot ahead, snarling. Immediately there came a man's terrified scream: "Take him away! He'll kill me!" The troopers: broke through the thickets and rushed out into a clearing. There was the half- breed frantically trying to climb a tree to avoid the fangs of the leaping, snarling bloodhotind. "I'll tell everything," howled the man.
