General Currie Heads: March Through the Capital of Overseas Forces and His Majesty Takes Salute. The march through London on May et of the Overseas troops provided a unique Empire pageant for the dense crowds of cheering people with which the route ewes lined. •The gaily de- corated streets, ablaze with allied flags, presented a brilliant picture in the .bright eunshine, -while squadrons of airplanes, piloted by Dominion aces, circled and swooped above the ranks of marching troops. H. R. H. Prince Arthur of Connaught accompanied Lt. -Gen. Sir Arthur Cur- rie at the head of the Canadians, who led the procession, In succession fol- lowed Gen. Chauvel with the Austrae Bans, Gen, Young with the Neer Zea- landers, Col, Thackeray with the South Africans, and Col, Bernard with the Newfoundlanders. The King, who in the morning held an investiture of overseas troops, took the salute at the Wane. The King's Address, The following message from the King was handed each man on the dis- persal of the parade: "Officers, non- commissioned officers and men of the overseas forces: "It is with a heart full of pride and gratitude I take your saluta to -day as you march in triumph through Lon- don. The people of the British, Do-. minions beyond the seas by their in- stant readiness to share in the trials and responsibilities of the great war have shown to the world the unity of the British Empire. You, with your comrades from the Mother Country, vied with one another in noble deeds, which will ever be held in proud re- membrance. Readily you adapted yourselves to changing conditions of a new and formidable kind of warfare, u.e and endured physical hardships and eMactiug mental. strain. Whether on the plains of Flanders, the heights of Gallipoli, in France, in Palestine or other theatres of war you displayed gallant enduranee in de- fence aud vigorous initiative in at- tack. We unit future generations will never forget the part played by the Canadians in the secondbattle of Ypres and Vitny Ridge,, by the Aus- tralians and New Zealanders at Galli- poli, and in the advance iu France in the spring of 1917 by troops of all the three Dominions in breaking the Hin- denburg Line last year, by .the South African Brigade in Delville Wood, and • by the Royal Newfoundland Regiment at Monchy Le Preux. "Now in the day of victory I wish to express to you who represent the overseas forces my unbounded ad- miration for your splendid feats of arms and sacrifices you have made. I wish you all God -speed on,your home- ward journey, with the hope that the outcome of this world struggle will as- sure peace to your children :and your children's children." High Standard of Courage. As one writer says, "Each Dominion contingent in its first battle set itself to reach and reached the highest standard of desperate and disciplined courage." It is pointed out that the Victoria Cross was never so hard to win as in the r, rent war, yet the number con- ferred on overseas soldiers is greater than the crosses gained by all arms in any previous campaign, with the ex- ception of the Indian Mutiny. The Thnes prints a detailed account of the deeds of Canadiang, and. New- foundlanders and says the final effort of Canada during the last hundred days is worthy of her sons, who, un- der Gen. Currie, proved second to. none in battle. FEAST ON ELEPHANTS' FEET. diiiteiet of Tommies in Africa Included ,re Eland and Zebra Steaks. Men returning from what was Ger. num East Africa have been telling people in England some of their im. pressions about strange meats with which the British Tommies have vari- ed their diet of bully beef. It is stated that the best of the strange .meats was ,eland steak, which is appetizing and as satisfying as the juicest steak from an English ox. Elephant meat has a good flavor, according to the returned soldiers, but it is sometimes stringy and coarse. The trunk of the elephant is a deli- cacy resembling, according to the men, the succulent meat from the hump of the angeni. Elephants' feet baked in 'ood penes in a hole in the ground 0.ake fairly good meat jelly, but it is inclined to be gluey unless properly cooked. Giraffe flesh is coarse and its flavor recalls the odor of cat's meat. Zebra steees aro very sweet, and the meat is white, rather like veal. • While the British Tommy could vary his diet . with zebra and eland steaks, and such like, he looked with liorrot 4;11±..,:n 0$,Ilatiyqo ivj:o reljehed Li flying att. tted if the/ fea. aa amity of Preparing eater -pit efi, f,ato. monkeys :,nd crocodile mat, qie)0 jaii.. joyed such food.

General Illumination of the Whole Kingdom at 11 p.m. on Night Fixed —Pageants and Plays. The date of the celebration of peace in Britain is yet uncertain, though June is still spoken of, says a London despatch. He is wise who refuses to prophesy, but it is safe to prophesy one thing, and that is when the peace night revels do come off they will be fast and furious. with bonfires and beacons and squibs and crackers, and, with the sanction of the War Office, a barrage of star shells and Verey lights, with the long white beams from scores of searchlights illuminating the whole. There will be no end of light and laughter, pageants and plays and shows, and the whole Empire, circled by a chain of fire, will rejoice. Under the direction of a committee of members of Parliament, presided over by lir. J. G. Butcher, M.P., Peace Celebrations, Beacons, and Bonfires Committees have been formed all over the kingdom, which have ar- ranged that the gesieral illumination of the whole kingdom will commence at eleven p.ni. on the night fixed. As the use of valuable fuel is to be deprecated at this time, the Admiralty and War Office are supplying the large surplus stocks of Dover flares, rockets end handlights at the very lowest pos- sible prices, so that for even the small- est communities they may be cheap enough. The flares, the invention of the late Wing Commander Brock, bril- liantly illuminate an area of three miles radius. They burn for seven and a half minutes, weigh ninety pounds, stand three feet high by eight inches diameter, are non -explosive and are fired by friction, so that they are safe enough even to the most in- experienced. Eight of these flares will maintain the illumination for an hour, and conveyed to mountain tops in sufficient number the whole Em- pire should be made bright as day for an hour even on the darkest, moonless and cloudiest night. . Great Peace Pageants. But the bonfires will not be confined, to the flares alone. All the waste brushwood. and hedgerow clippings, which at this time of year are usually burned up, are being collected to make bonfires on "the night." They will make a dull red glow, with a maxi- mum 61: smoke, but they will serve. Then there is to be a wonderful series of peace pageants to be given in various great centres in aid of St. Dunstan's Fund for soldiers blinded in the war, St. Dunstan's, which has the patronage of Queen Alexandra, is striving now to enlist the help of 20,- 000 voluntary perforiners, for whom costumes are being prepared. It is to be a gigantic production with scenic and mechanical effects never before attempted or even thought of in con- nection with open air displays. This pageant, which will. have a vast cen- tral arena and subsidiary stages on eitherside, will open with an episode showing the Empire at peace. Then, eieree." ± Seneet eeeet " • . , , ' rfifS Fir5f— z, with the call to arms, come tlie "Old Contemptibles" boarding• a great troopship. The early stages of the conflict will be realistically depicted, and it is pro- posed that in each city where the Peace Pageant is given the most not- able deeds of local regiments shall be reconstructed, where possible, by the men who fought in the engagements. The Navy is the theme of thefourth episode, which will begin with the Spithead Review of 1914 and close with ,the glorious attack on Zeebrugge. In the anal scene of triumph all the regiments of the Allies will be repre- sented in a parade of colors reminis- cent of the days before khaki replaced distinctive and decorative uniform. As a finale, symbolic of the coming gene- ration, a thousand children clad in red, white and blue will form a living Union. Jack. Choir of 20,000 Voices. The League of Arts is arranging for other entertainments on a colossal scale in London. On from twenty to thirty of the parks and commons stands are to be erected capable of accommodating about 1,000 instru- mentalists and singers, and in addition there will be raised stages for the pro- duction of such plays as "A Midsum- mer Night's Dream" and "As You Like It." The organization of a choir of 20,- 000 voices to sing in the open air is being undertaken by Dr. Charles Henna "I will raise a choir of 10,- 000 in London and 10,000 in the pro- vinces and bring them together in a London park," says Dr, Hanes. "All the things we sing are known to most People. We are not going to attempt to sing over people's heads, but just simple things which appeal to the mul- titude—the national anthems of the Allies, 'March of the Men of Harlech,' parts of the 'Hallelujah Chorus,' while there is a wealth of expression both in words and music in 'Hymns Ancient and Modern,' which are worth singing. In a big demonstration of this sort the singing must be on simple lines, and if it is kept Within this area of modesty in music every one can un- derstand and every one can sing." A Shrewd Turk. Writing in Asia, Mr. 'John Van Ess relates a tale that exhibits an interest- ing bit of Turkish acumen. I once happened to be on a Turkish steamer, he says, when there were four Europ- eans In the first .saloon. The, cook had prepared a roast for our • dinner and had placed it iu the scullery window. A short time before the meal he came frantically in to the pasha who com- manded the three hundred soldiers on board, exclaiming that the roast had been stolen. The pasha, undisturbed, detailed an aid to hunt out the thief. "Line up the soldiers on deck," said he, "and smell every man's breath. He whose breath does not smell of onions is the thief. Bring him quick!" In an incredibly short time the aid returned, leading a gaunt solder, who meekly admitted his guilt. All the other soldiers had dined On onion stew, but the guilty man had eaten choice roast beef. Roundly, $4,000,000 'worth of orders have already been booked in Europe by Canadian woolen manu- facturers Who formed a trade group, as advocated by the Canadian Trade Commission. Other groups are now `being rapidly arranged. • food Was devised fora definite health The method of makinq it,t*gether with the weII propqrticned c9 Ont. 15 desgnd to 0.1.10 „ .; p -h (7),)01 troftith 6 ii • ;k, ee a Pa.Fon7 ae"o•d taead LTbalo:P-Oes Dainty dotted swiss, combined with sheer organdie, makes this attractive dress for the little tot.

SPINNING STEEL -i-- Intricate Process Used in Manufac- ture of Steel. . Steel for Wire making is delivered. to the wire mill in bars four inches square. a yard long and about one hun- dred and fifty pounds in weight. The wire makers bring the bars to a white- hot, .pliable condition, then run them through a series of grooved rolls in the rod mill. It forms them into rods of lead -pencil size that are conveyed through a pipe to a mechanism that coils them into bundles. The rods are then carried on moving platforms to the open air and cooled. Prom that point on, says the Scientific American, the wire makers bring the metal to its final shape while it is cold by the wire -drawing process. The bundles are first immersed in a vat of dilute sulphuric acid, called a Pickling solution. Then after most of the aid is got rid of in a hot-water bath, the rods are run very slowly un- der successive sprays of water. The rods are then dipped in milk of lime to neutralize any remaining traces of acid, in order to protect thene from further atmospheric action, and to pro- vide them with a libricant during their subsequent passage through the steel die. Brittleness is next overcome by baking the Iime-coated rods for sever- al hours in au oven at a temperature of four hundred degrees; after that they are ready to be drawn into wire, A wire -drawing die is a solid piece of steel with a number of round, tap- ered holes—that is. smaller on one side of the die than on the other. The die is clamped in a vise, and the end of the rod forced through one of the holes. The projecting end is then fas- tened to a revolving drum that pulls tbe entire length of the rod through the die. It is now wire -round, smooth and without kinks, It is drawn through one die after another, each smaller than the one before,un- til it is reduced to the required size. The reducing process also makes the wire harder, for 'the steel becomes packed together more tightly as it passes through the die. It the drawing process were con- tinued long enough, the wire would be- come brittle. It is therefore necessary to stop drawing and run the bundles through an oven ;lc anneal the wire and to make it soft. Finally, the wire passes tbret4 a molten zinc galvan. Izing bath and runs through a shred- ded aerbestoa wiper that carries off the surplus Zino. It is then cooled and wound on reels. It - .-4,40.

Japanese Farm Where Bivalve Is En- couraged to Produce Jewel. There is an extensive salt water farm in Japan, where the gardeners encourage oysters to make pearls. The farm has an area of about fifty square miles, and the water varies in depth from five. to fifteen fathoms. The pearl farmer selects spots \\these the oyster spawn is plentiful and plants small rocks and stones. As soon as they are covered with oyster spat he places them in special beds, where they lie undisturbed until the third year. It is said that an oy- ster will not produce a pearl unless a foreign substance irritates it. As soon as it feels the irritation it pro- ceeds to cover the troublesome.obJect with nacre, layer upon layer, until af- ter a few years it has made a pearl. When the oysters are large enough the pearl farmer takes . them from the beds and, carefully opening them, in- troduces into their bodies, a tiny speck of some foreign substance. At - ter that he replaces them in the sea. At the end of from three to five years the oyster has coated the foreign sub- stance with nacre and a pearl is the result.

The glove fabric industry, which until the outbreak of the war, was' a German monopoly, is being rapidly recaptured by Nottingham manufac- turers. It originally had its home in 1 Nottingham, but the success of Ger- man chemists in discovering the method of dyeing black on cottons known as the Hemsdorir process, Which not only produces a perman- ent black, but makes the gloves suede -like in appearance and tench, spelt ruin to the English manufactur- ers, The Germans before the war exported 30,000,000 pairs of these gloves, valued at three-quarter of a million sterling to England. The dyeing and finishing of lace and hosiery by Nottingham firms has, however, reached such a hig'h standard of late years, and has re- vealed so many German secrets, that. the manufacturers are now entering again into the glove fabric trade. So successful are they proving that whereas in 1913 England only made 880,000 yards of glove fabric, that figure is now being quadrupled. Nottingham firms are spending large sums of money on chemical re- search and are turning out gloves equal t anything produced by Ger- many, but they are appealing to the Government not to allow the trade to be killed once More by Germany, where labor, which represents one- third of the cost, is less well paid. lIuman wreckage can seldom be AilVed; it must be prevented.
