' Still Young in Years. . Colonel Hendrie is still young in years for a man who has gathered about him so many of the world's good things, his fifity-seven years sitting upon him lightly. Grizzled of hair and motustaehe, there is still a youthfulness about about his fea- tures which bespeaks many more years of nsefulnass, even !after he (steps down from ,the vice -regal chair. Perhaps there is something in the man's descent which guaranteed for him a future independent of has own efforts. There is Scotch bleed in his veins, both parents having emigrated from Ayrshire, and being of Huguenot descent. His educe - tion was received at the Heaniltom public and private schools and at Upper Canada College, after which KINGS AT THE. PICTURES ADAPTING THE FILM TO THE NEEDS OF ROYALTY. King George and Queen Mary Have Ordered "Command" ,Per- formances. The-kinemra is often called "the poor man's theatre," but "the pic- tures" could, with equal justifies- tion, be termed "the amusement of the rich," and they aright even be called "the pastime of royalty," says London Answers. Within the last twelve months or so both the Kaiser and the Czar have made oomplete kinematogra- , phic records of themselves and their families in private life, and the films are occasionally exehanged - between the -relatives of these and other reigning monarchs who have also sought pictorial immortality through the aid of Mr. Edison'; wonderful invention. Filming the Kaiser. Of all the royal personages who intimately interest themselves in kinematogrephy, the most enthusi- astic is the Kaiser. At Potsdam, and also at the Castle of Fursten- berg, he has had construobed hand- some little private theatres, and here several "command perform- ances" have taken place, two of the most recent being associated with "Antony and Cleopatra," and "With the Greeks in the firing line." The latter series, dealing with real war, were taken by the special command, and with the per- sonal assistance, of the King of Greece—another sovereign who has shown enthusiasm for living photo- graphy. But the Kaiser's interest goes arranging in the United States for the purpose of raising enough mo- ney to establish the funds of the Bulgarian hospital (severely drain- ed by the recent war) upon A. Firm Financial Bails. The Kings of Italy and Denmark are other ardent Royal pieture-go- ers. The latter sovereign recently unintentionally played a principal part of a film drama that would almost certainly have ended in a tragedy had he not done so. His Majesty was witnessing from his yacht the producing, off Copen- hagen, of a marine drama by a famous Danish company, whose produetions are known to every pic- ture audience in Great Britain. The leading actress, while swimming, became exhausted, and was only rescued from drowning by E he promptitude with which the liftboat of the Royal yacht was lowered, at the instance of the King, who play- ed a prominent part in the filming. The Pope, too, is a firm believer in the potentialities of kinemato- graphy, and in the Vatican Museum are stored several films of religious interest which appealed to him. Among the monarchs who most enjoy seeing "the pictures," that very up-to-date sovereign, the Mik- ado of Japan takes a front place. The banqueting -hall of his palace at Tokio has several -times been tem- porarily turned into a kinemsto- graph theatre, the most recent of the perform.anoes having been con- ducted by Mr. Percy Wark, who went to Japan to equip several kinemacolor theatres. Mr. Wark gives the following interesting and amusing account of the "command" performances, for the undertaking of which he was responsible. In Far Japan. "Owing to the fact that Euro- peans are very rarely allowed to be in the same apartment as the Em- peror, whose person is looked upon muchfurther than that of specta- as sacred, I had to erect an operat- tor. He has recently appeared on the films as an actor 1 True the sub- jects were but trifles, taken for amusement by his daughter, the Princess Victoria Louise, whom he has presented with a Itinerante- graph camera, but two of them are being shown pretty- extensively around the public picture theatres of the German capital. One of these represents his Majesty hiding Easter eggs in various parts of the royal yacht, and his amusement at the crew's efforts to discover them.

This necessitated the pictures being thrown on to the side of the screen away from the audience, and we had to make it semi -transparent by smearing it with glycerine. Several English dramatic and comedy subjects were included in the performance, which must have been very successful, be- cause the Emperor, through one of the Court officials, sent me a most kind and congratulatory message. So, you see, "the pictures" are emphatically not the pastime of the proletariat only. Like novel -read- ing and cricket, they appeal to all classes. The interest taken by our own Hing and Queen in the kinemato- graph is proved by the various , "command" performances of spe- eial films which have taken place since their accession. Prineeas and "The Pietnres." Indeed, it is generally thought that King George himself suggested that eplendid film -record of the British Army which is just now proving so deservedly popular all over the country. Princess Mary and the young princes, too, also enjoy an hour at "the pictures," ,and not infrequently visit the Mar- ble Arah Electric Palace. Another sovereign who has sac - embed to the ,attraction of the kinemwtegrapla is the Queen of Rou- mania, famous in the literary world as "Carmen Sylva." She has reoenbly disposed of the Mtn . rights of all hes novels to the Nordisk Film Company, of Copen- begena and ie herself preparing the liesnartos. She also possesses her own private kinem:a—a beautiful little theatre, with a seating capa- eity of nearly 200, fitted up on Pei-' eshCantle, .pt flinaja.• Among the most earnest Royal supporters of kineamatography are the Ring and Queen of.

Used in Old Wars Between England and Scotland. "Dogs of war" is a phrase whioh once meant a thing as real as the war horse, Dogs Naive played their part in battles and oampaagns and in the all wars b-ebween England and Scotland dogs were used by both combatants for: pursuing and killing fugitives after a defeat. it is related that Wallace and Bruce each had close escapes from oapture by English bloodhounds. Bruce is said Ibo have thrown the English dog off the scant by the now well known expedient of wading up a stream far enough to bnffie his pur- suers, and Wallace evaded the hounds by having recourse to a trick moa+e or less common in 'chose bloody tames of killing a felilower and le:avinlg the body in the dogs' path for them to comae upon. The dogs finding a body believed that their task as done and discontinued the bunt. In the history of the wars of the middle ages one finds reference to the tee of big dogs against cavalry for the purpose of throwieag the horses into confusion and not alone for causing panic but casualties, for these fierce canine piarbisan:s were clothed in coats of mall studded with spikes and having scythes fitted to their harness. Instarsees tare recorded where war dogs with fire brands fastened to their coats of mail have been set on an enemy's Damp with destructive results. Hoary VIII. must have found dogs useful in mitlitery ways, because in English history ib is writ- ten that be offered Ibhe use of 40,000 auxiliaries and 4,000 war dogs to King Merles V. of Spain to aid that monarch in his war with Fran- cis I. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth when the Earl of Essex enteahed Ire- land for the purpose of suppressing insurrection there his army was ac- companied by 100 bloodhounds. IDENTIFYING DEAD SOLDIERS.

The Tasks and Duties of the Men Who Deal Out Naval Death. The most important change which has taken place in our naval equip- ment has been the employment of larger guns. Our latest naval gun has caused tremendous consterna- tion amongst the navies of the world, says London Answers. We are pretty well acquainted with the twelve -inch gun that with which our Dreadnoughts are arm- ed. Quite recently a i3.5 -inch gun was introduced, though its' per- formances have !been kept secret. Next came the talk of e fifteen inch gun, and still later of, perhaps, even a larger. The vital essentials in naval war- fare are to hit first, hit hard, and keep on hitting, according to Ad- miral Sir Percy !Scott, the greatest authority in the world upon naval gunnery. It is our proud satisfaction as a nation that our Navy contains the finest gunners in the world. That awful implement of war, the 13.5 -inch gun, is seventeen yards long and will -strike a blew of over 60,000 foot -(tons at a cost approach- ing $750 each time it is fired. The shot is the height of a !tall roan, about eight times this weight, has a circumference greater than the man around his chest, and has a mar- vellous penetrating power. At Thirteen Miles. When, in these days of great bat- tles, in whioh nine different nations may quite easily take part on the same day, the layman meads that the dead are paled up in huge heaps, he may well be puzzled to knoev how individuals can be recognized for 'the information of (their rellar tirse, It is managed quite simply, how- ever, by the issue to each soldier before he takes !the field of an iden- tification card or token.

Recently, how- ever, Britian has adopted more dun - able udentifioation plates, after the Oomtinentha1i !fashion. The Germans carry mall metal discs on which is eirnply a number which ,afforda to the Berlin War Office a oomplete olue to !the identity of the possessor, should he be slain.

Uaiveesal Crop Shortage Canadian Farmers' Opportunity. Public officials have been. exhort- ing the Canadian farmer to sow more wtheat this year. But it is doubtful if, even yet, the North American wheat producer realizes fully what an opportunity confronts him. The farmer, of all men, should not share the exaggerated idea df the importance of Canada a•nd the United States as contributors to the world's food supply, which leads many persons to Teel that there eau be little pinch or short- age as long as the production of these countries continues unham- pered. It is rather :the actual axe - dominance of Europe as a. food pro- ducer that renders the situation serious and places a ,premium. on American supplies. The following facts are significant Europe leads the continenbs in annual wheat production .and, nor- mally, raises twice as much as North America, her nearest com- petitor. She grew over one=half Of the record-breaking world's wheat crop of 1913, doubling the cowibined contribution of Canada, United States and Mexico. Euro- pean nations now in arms alone grew 42 per cent..af the total yield, while the whole of North America produced only slightly over 25 per cent. On the reasonable supposi- tion Haat shortage of labor, poor tillage, decreased acreage and other adverse oonditions will re- duce the 1914 wheat crops off Euro- pean combatants by one-third over half of North America's entire yield would be required to meet the de- ficiency. Europe probably carried over in- to 1914 a fair surplus from her ban- ter wheat Drop of 1913. But what of this year's production? Russia's rosiesb prospects (before the war never promised ;within 150,000,000 bushels of last year's total, and the war must have caused further huge decreases. Hungary and Italy, great wheat nations, will show a combined shortage of -75,000,000 bushels, while India and Canada tall !behind by 50,000,000 and 70,- 000,000 bushels respectively, as compared with the 1913 harvest. How will the deficiency be ane!t1 Canada's exportable !surplus has been :out in two. The !bumper oxop of the United .Slates will hardly offset the shortage of Russia alone. Consumption must decrease some- what, but can hardly parallel the sudden elrrinkage in production. Canada, United States, India, Aus- tralia and Argentine will find every bushel of their 1914 crop required in Europe next spring to .meet the shortage of Russia, France, Ger- many, Italy and Austria-Hungary. If war is prolonged for six anoniihs, hindering seeding operations in the spring and summer of 1915, the demand will be even more insist- ent in the spring andsummer of 1916. The moral to the Canadian farm- er is simple, Grow wheat. Sow every .available sore to a crop of which the world `viii !stand 'badly in need in the corning months. The following table shows,, the respective eontribations of the ten leading wheat-prodneing nations to the record crop of 1913. The 'coun- tries marked with an .asterisk are either directly or indirectly engag- ed in the war. "'Resei:a .

All soldiers in the English Array whioh is fighbing in France, carry a typewritten sheet on which are the more ooananon French word -s they may require.

The Barbels' Guild of Moscow has offered to .;'have wounded sol- diers and tut their hair free of charge, and at Vilna fifteen hun- dred cabdrivers have tendered their services for 'the gratuitous trans- port of those disabled in action. The European war bids fair to be- come the greatest inventive period for military appliances since the U.S. Civil War, as inventors are hard at it in European countries to keep the war up-to-date. Observers of Russian rural life say that the closing down of public• houses and the introduction of newspapers (in time of peace a newspaper rarely makes an appear- ance in a Russian village) have •completely transformed the Rus- sian countryside. The British trade (boom in field - glasses and prism tbinooulars still continues. During the current week one firm alone bas sold more than four thousand pairs, and by the irony of circumstance the (balk of these were made in Germany. .Leeds Leeds firms have secured con- tracts for the manufacture of 36,000 great coats for the army. Mr. At- kins' preference is for grey coats, but as there is not enough material in Yorkshire to supply the demand, . brown coats are also !being made up. During one of the attacks on the German position on !the Aisne, Lieut, H. O. Lloyd, King's Royal Rifles, son of Col.

(Sheffield factories will be hard put to it to execute the War Office order for 500,000 razors.

Russian patients under the care of German specialists in German nursing homes were ruthlessly ex- pelled when war was declared, and in several oases this harsh treat - anent had fatal results. Russian doctors at a conference in Moscow passed .a resolution protesting in the name of the medical world against the !brutality of their Ger- maaa. brethren.

Whenever German prisoners are taken by the French thefiest thing they do, without ibsing asked, is to sit down, take off their boobs, and hand them to their captors. It seems that the quality of the Ger- man footgear is much suporior to that of the Frenal, and somehow it has !become known that the French always commandeered the boots of the prisoners, so to propitiate them they now make the offering with- out to word. Over the Rills and Far Away. ,Although the gunner thus has to shoot over high mouniteine, he must do it in sua:h a manner that the shot will drop at the other side on the exact ,spot where it will do most damage. Quite a common range for naval gunnery is five miles, the distance being covered'bv the shell in twelve seconds. When all these facts havea been taken into consideration, allow- ance has to be made dor the fest that the vessel from which the shot is fired and also the ship aimed at areoon•stantly moving, having, a pertain amount of roll.
