I3e.n Jonson was set over against him as the poet of art, preferred before Shakespeare by men -----nee_ce..learning and judgment. This point will be treated more fully farther .on. John Munro thinks that the firetecleag, reference to Shakespeare as an Ms - tutored natural genius is the passage in Milton's L'Allegro, probably written about 1632: Then to the weletrad stage anon, If jonson's learned sock be on, Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy'a * Warble his native wood -notes wild. Munro is undoubtedly right in think- ing it "probable that almost -all of Shakespeare's contemporaries failed to appreciate the high character of his art, and to value him far it." Professor Schucking suggests two reasons which may partly explain the failures of Shakespeare's contempor- aries to appreciate his greatness. The first of these is the tact that many of his finest plays were based upon pre- viously existing pieces. These dramas were thought of as adaptations, not as original produotions. . . . "Ham- let" was certainly based upon the pre - Shakespearean "Hamlet," which has, been lost; and. the ease of "Romeo and Juliet" is probably similar. It may well be. that Shakespeare's ewn age looked upon other of his dramas in the same way; ft r example, we know that several plays upon Julius Caesar tad preceded that of Shakespeare. The first notice of the adult Shake- sr/tare that has come down to us is the complaint of him made by Robert Greene to nom° fellow -writers as "an UpstMrt (TOW beautified with our feathers." It is asserted that Shake- speare in his own eay was never spoken of as an origleal Writer; John- son and Beaumont and Pletcher were praised for their orleinality.--Albert H.

A Million Miles of Fog. • - Phrases That Puzzle Us. Many who see Hamlet played, and heard Ophelia say to the Queen, Ham- let's mother, "You may wear rue with a difference," must have been mysti- fied as to her meaning, although the poignancy of the mad act causes tb.e mind to pass it by as one of Shake- speare's Mexplicable problems. Yet it is not inexplicable. In herald- ry "differences," or "marks of cad- ency," indicate the various branches of a family. During- the lifetime of his father, the oldest son bears a label, the second a crescentethe third a mul- let, the fourth a martlet the fifth an annulet, the eels a fleur-de-lis, the seventh a rose the eighth a cross -mo - line, the ninths double quatre-foil. Opheliesays both she and the Queen are to wear rue; • herself as the af- fianced bride of the oldest son of the late King, but the Queen with a "dif- ference," indicative of the -fact that, although she was Hamlet's mother, her status was that of her present hus- band Claudiuss, the cadet branch of the family. • There is all that in the simple phrase, and as much in hundreds of similar phrases scattered through Shakespeare's plays. Legal Adoptions. During the past year „there were 663 legal adoptions of children, ac- cording to the report of Mr.. J. J. Ke,lso the Provincial Officer under the Act. It is a:so interesting toenote that of over three 'thousand adop- tions since the Act was passed in 1921 only twenty-eight children had to be returned -and some of these were owing to the death of the adopt- ing paient..

If the jetty suggested by Mr. Riker were built, the Labrador Current would be turned eastward off the Beaks and would siuk into the great depths of the Atlantic, where it would probably be lost, while the warm blue waters of the Gulf Stream would con- tinue northward in almost 'undiminish- ed 'volume. Its heat would soon melt away a la+ge portion of the polar ice cap, changing completely the climate of the whole of North Americaand also that of Northern Europe. The who of British North America would then enjoy a climate at least as mild as that of France, while the eastern part of the United States would become as warm as Southern California. A Nightless Summer. There might be other and even more tremendous consequences. The melt- ing of the Arctic ice cap might shift the equalizing balance of the globe so that the preponderating weight of the Antarctic los cap .would make what Is now the North Pole move towards North. Europe, with the result of pro- ducing a flightless eunimer in the area of Scotland without a daylese winter. The cost of the great jetty is esti- mated at about One hundred and nine- ty million dollars. It is a lat of money, yet more was spent in one.week dur- ing the war. And unlike the plan for damming the Fury and Inecla Straits', the building of the jetty would offer 30. greatengineering difficulties. The "Blues' 'a Habit. If you have lite of depression, some- times called "blues," you a.re to blame. Peeling blue Is a habit, a psychological sharp tells as. Blues are caused by thinking the wrong way.
