That the U. S. Ocngrese, about a year ago. passed an Act for the pro. taction of migratory birds which is even more beneficial to Canada than to the eta;ted States. and that the -Do. minion Government can Moist in mak- iog this law permanent and effective by negotiating a treaty on the suhjeot, were important points brought out by Mr. William S. Haskell, Council of the American Game Protective Atgoela• tion, at a recent address at the 1M.lt Annual Meeting of the Commission of Coneervatlon, Thedefenders of Mated rights are up In arms against the Act, and there is danger of this 'iar•reaeh• 'frig measure being set aside ote the grotted ofttno titution sty. Shnttlti would be impossible, as no treaty can be annulled by judicial procedure, Hence, the Dominion Goverment should us t its influence to persuade the British Goveentnent to negotiate .Duch a treaty and then meet American reformers half -way In their endeavour s to protect North Ani rio,tn wild birds.

Presbyterian. When a camel drinks, Aoommitte which includes the Duke it drinks a great deal. Indeed, it drinks for such a long time that you really would think it never meant to leave off. The fact is that it is not satisfying its thirst, but is filling up its cistern vie well. One after another the cells in its stomach are filled with the water, and as soon as each is quite full, itis tightly closed. Then when, a few hours later. the animal becomes thirsty, all that it has to do re to open one of the cells and allow the water to firer out, Next day it opens one or two more cells, and so it goes on day' after day until the whole supply is exhausted. Ia this curious • way a camel can live five or even six days without drinking at all, and so is able to travel quite easily through the desert, • where the wells are often hundreds of miles apart.

The stomach of a camel is divided into four compartments, and the wake of these are lined with large cella every one of which can he opened and closed at will by the means of power- ful muscles, explains a writer in the of Wellington, Lord Roberts. and the Lord Mayor of London has been form- ed to raise a publlu fond of $50,000 to purchase the Waterloo battlefield in order to preserve it front a speculative builder, Professor Ivan Alexandrovic Bau. diun de Courtenay, member of the face ulty of St. Petersburg University. and who often has represented Russia in foreign congresses, has been sentenced to two year's imprisonment in a for- tress for having published a pamphlet advocating Federalism, Jack Johnson the negro pugilist, was driven out of •Sweeden on March 15^h for his insolent conduct towards two women.

The King of tie Belgians noitcing a woman wearing a slit skirt at the court ball on Friday night, Marcia 18th sent a court marshal to her aide, who offered his arm to her in a most defer- ential manner and escorted her from the ballroom. When they arrived outside the court marsball said : 'Bis Majesty noticed that your gown was torn on one side and asked me to es- cort you to your carriage, so that you can go home and get the damage re- paired.' The abolishment of the execution of criminals by the headsman is being earnestly agitated in Germany, the only civilized country where thie form of ere, uting the death sentence exists.
