Britannia's Headquarters is a Most Unpretentious Alley in London. Downing street—A blind alley about 100 yards long which, is the headquar- ters of the British Empire. Ten Downing street -A brown brick gable roofed old house, just across the blind alley from the ,Foreign Office, which for 250 years has been the of- ficial residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, who is commonly the Premier of Great Britain. There is practically no garden about the place. The old. house, as gloomy and uninviting as could possibly be imagined, looks as if it might have. been dropped by accident under the lee of the huge Foreign Office build- ing just across Downing street. But none the less Downing street is the headquarters of the British Em- pire, and 10 is the residence of the Premier, says a writer in the New York Sun. I wonder how many Amer - feints, or for that matter Britishers,' know that Downing street was named after an American. It was. Whether Sir George Downing was actually born at Salem, Mass., it not quite certain. The records in Massa- chusetts and the histories in England have been searched with, great care without making the matter quite cer- tain. But it is pretty well established haat he was born in Old Salem, and there is no doubt he was the son of Emmanuel Downing of Salenf anti his wife, Lucy, who was a sister of Gov. Winthrop of Massachusetts. Appar- ently Downing was not highly esteem- ed, ' a.t least by some of his contempor- aries. The editor of the Calendar:. of. Treasury Books (1660-1667) charact- erizes him as a "double perjured trait- or," but admits he was "a most cap- able official." This enterprisin;, New Englander, who_ managed to occupy an important post in the Cromweliian army a.nd afterward to make his peace with Charles II. and to serve the State with something of distinction and a good deal of profit to himself under the. Restoration, may or may 'not have deserved the 'reputation he enjoys among some English historians. Peo- ple who have read Pepys's Dairy will perhaps not recognize the'Downing to whom frequent references are made therein. as the Sir. George Downing who succeeded in giving his name to the headquarters of Britannia. Close to It. Little Girl -Did you ever dream of being in heaven?

Does your heart palpitate .violently ? Do you have a pain in your side ? Perhaps you even have to -stop half way up, with limbs trembling and head dizzy, too exhausted to go ,fur- ther without resting. These are un- failing signs of anaemia. As soon as your blood becomes impoverished or impure the stair -ease becomes an in- strument of torture. When this is so you are unfit for work; your blood is watery and your nerves exhausted, you are losing the joy of anactive life and paving the way for a further break down and decline. In this con- dition only one thing can save you. You must put put new, rich, red blood into your veins without further delay and so build up your blood anew.

DEVICE FOR FISH -CATCHING. Will coop Up 60,000 Pounds Per Hour, Freeze and Pack Them. To catch fish like a whale ,gets them a machine has been. invented by a Brooklyn man to bring in 60,000 pounds of fish in an hour without hook, line or bait and then freeze and pack them by the simple operation of a few. levers. He is now organizing a company to build fishing boats from plans he has drawn. The boat pushes befort it a huge, scoop to which the fish are attracted at night by powerful searchlights. From the narrow, end of the scoop a conveyer carries them up into the. body of the boat, where they are. sorted and are carried by lateral con- veyors'tir the refrigerating and cann- ing rooms. The method of operating the fish- ing machine is described as follows by its inventor: "Three large searchlights are used to light the water ten miles ahead of. the boat. As our speed with the scoop in position will be about ten miles an hour it will give the fish a full hour to get into line. "As the ray of light is very wide at the farther end and becomes constant- ly narrower as the -boat approaches and as the width of the light 'is re- duced so gradually as to permit all the fish in the vicinity to be drawn into the narrow strip of water cover- ed by the light directly . in front of the scoop, ;;all the fish which have ga- thered will be thrown into confusion by the sudden disappearance of the light, and guided by the walls of the scoop to the speeding conveyer will be safely landed by it on ,Teck. "The machine after the first hour's use of the light will actually pick up all the .fish from a strip two miles wide and 100 feet deep at the rate of eighty-eight feet a minute. "Estimating 1,000 pounds of fish a minute, the boat would pick up thirty tons in an hour, or 300 tons in a ten- hour night. At 5 cents a }found this would bring $30,000• for one night's catch. Six of these machines will keep'ethe United. States supplied with fish, 'Fish oil, fish meals, fish scrap and fertilizer, Thirty-five more will sup- ply all the world."

On Monday week official word was re- ceived eceived in Canada that his only son,: Plight Lieut. Hugh Allan, had been killed while fighting Huns in France. Thug a family of .four has been reduc- ed to one—the sole survivor being Miss Martha Allan, who went to Eng- land in the fall of 1914, and has since been engaged in nursing there and in France. Lady Allan is head of the Canadian Red Cross in London,. and Sir Montagu is connected with the. Canadian •Pensions Board in London. The whole family being overseas, no one but servants have 'occupied. palatial "Ravenscrag," one of the'•show places of Montreal, for the past two years. Situated on Pine avenue,` on the slope of the mountain overlooking the city, it is one of Canada's most gorgeous homes. Even now its con- servatories are open every Saturday for the delight of flower lovers. Sir Montagu is the son of Sir Hugh Allan, one of the founders of the Allan -Line, which was taken over some time ago by the C.P.R., but which still retains its name. Besides being president of the Merchants Bank, Sir Sir Montagu Allan. Montagu is a director of a dozen of Canada's big corporations.

Somewhere in France a dog waits- has been waiting since7Atigust, 1914— for the return of his master, and the latter will never ,return, for he ' lies sleeping where he fell—in one of the first battles of the great war. The story is told by the Figaro. 'A peat- ant from tate Puy de Dome joined his regiment at Riom when the mobiliza- tion began. He took his dog with him and they were inseparable until the day came for the man to leave for the front. 'When' the train 'steamed away, Canon, for that was the dog's name, remained looking wistfully at it as it receded, dwindled away to a mere spot on the horizon and then disap- peared, isap- a d carrying his master outof his pe re, Yr g • sight for ever. But Canon's faith in the power of his master's love to reunite them one day is stronger than the will of na- tions, and he refuses to leave the sta- tion at Riom. Upon the arrival of each train he dashes out on to' the platform, runs first to the locomotive and then scampers from carriage to carriage, looking for the object of his I affection -until the whistle blows and, he is left to gaze wistfully,, as he did \once in 1914.

Trouble on the telephone lines cen- tering at Port Byron, N.Y., was found recently to be caused by a swarm of bees that had taken possession of the terminal box and were using it as a hive. When the seat of 'the trouble was discovered the bees had already started the making of comb in a corn- er of their -new hone. The prob- lem of ousting the undesirable ten- ants from the telephone box was solv- ed by stuffing thecracks with cotton saturated with carbon disulphide, which suffocated the bees.
