Potted Voices.
Although Madame Patti, the great
soprano, had pawed her best when the
gramceneno came into being, yet re•
cords of her matchless voice are in
existence, and were recently used to
domoestrate the art of the great sing-
er. •
Many young people who aro in-
terested in music, or sing themselves,
ask whether Sims Reeves sang better
than Thomas Burke, if Jenny Lind
sang as well as Tottrazilhi, or whether
Madame Clara Butt has as pure a con•
trait° voice as Antoinette Sterling or
Maclaine Patti. Old concert -goers of-
ten stick up for their early loves, but
compare:on, is impossible, for then'
voices are long silent, and new ones
(hold the field.
But the gramophone has ended that
phase. The new singers to Cotyle can
be compared vocally with the singers
at present holding the field. The
gramophone has got all the great sing-
ers "in pickle," and everybody will bo
able in the future, even long after they
have ps,ssed away, to taste thole
beautiful quality.
Yet what would we not give to be
•able to put Jenny Lind or Jaseph Mass
or. Madame Patti 011 the gramophone,
and listen, as our fathers end•nlcth'ers
did, to their entrancing scngs? What
would "Sly Pretty Jane," sung by
Sims Reeves, be valued at to -clay, or
"Calle'r Herrin'," sung by Antoinette
Sterling, anti sung as ,.110 alone could
sing it?
Why Dogs Bark.
It is a omlious fact that dogs bark
only when they are in association with
man. The dog in a ,state of mituro
merely growls, howls, or whines.
Possibly the act of barking is a
dog's attempt at speech: 1t would cer-
tainly seem litre it sometimes; as, for
instanoo, when a pet dog sees you car-
rying food, he will bark as bis way of
asking for some.
Another dog, which is in the habit
of going to bed at sundown, will bark
to tell you leo is ready when the time
coulee.
It is also 011110us that, although the
dog is so much the friend of man, his

dogs are considered of very little he -

Czeelice lovalci'a, Danzig, Mantel and

and some co'untrtos, like Finland go so
far as to have a special flag for 00 un-
important a porsou as' the commander
of a halt -flotilla of torpedo -boats, '
It would be impossible to memorize
all those flags, The Admiralty pro-
clirces• a heavy volume foe the use of

"Admiralty Flag Book," In which they
are all sot out in their sizes, and gear -

With Different Meanings.
'Ivory ship is expected, by interna-
tional law, to show her u•atio•nal colors,
and all the principal merchant ships,
passenger and 'cargo, fly a 110080 flag
as well, to show who the owners are.
Some of these !lags are as well-known
as ,the Union Jack, or the Trlcolor—
flags' lice those of the Cunard Lino,
the Compagnie Gerenale. Trans -Allan
tique, and the Navigaziono Generale
Italiana, for example, But there are
huudred's of others as well, and all of
them convey a meaning to the sea-
farer.
The really chatty flags are the little
oddly -patterned equates and triangles
that are hoisted at the p0100rm in
mune. The Navy has fifty-nine of
these, the first twenty-six of which re-
present tiro alphabet, the remainder
being numbers, and special flags such
as "Yes," "No," "Prepare'," "?" and so
on. The international code is shorter,
and different. There are only the
twenty-six lettons. of the alphabet and

beard of the Blue Peter, but few r0,
cognize it 1v11011 they see- it hoisted. It
is 0 blue flag with a white spuare Jn
the centre, and stands for the letter P
in the alphabet, Many who think they
know mistake the white flag. with a
blue square in the centre tot' the Blue
Peter. It is, in point of fact, the' let -
tet• S, and tate signal "I require a
pilot"
The Blue Peter in the Navy, how -
over, 108 quite a .different meaning.
It is the numerical sign for "zero,"
while 111x' international pilot flag in
the Navy is not S at all, but V.
Another cause of oonfuslon to the
landsman is the quarantine flag, The
"Q" flag, a yellow square, is used for
this in the international code, and
many people think it means that there
Is ,plague on board. It does not. The
flag for that is,L, made of equal yel-
low and black Squares, the first yel-
low w'''are being in the top corner
near the staff,
Rubbing It In,
Signalling with flags, was not 111ltelh
practised in the merchant service be-
fore tho war, and nlorsiug with s,enla-
phore or Ilasliing lamp was little
known. It is recorded of a famous
merchant skipper that on one occa-
sion, fancying Ills trained 84911011er
could teach the Navy a thing or two,
he undertook to communicate with 'a
passing 1111811 -o' -war. The mercantile
Odgnaller painfully spelt out his ahe,3e-
age, The man -o' -war, 0041011 more
rapidly, winiced cart its reply ,
The merchant Jack macre "I,M.T "—
please repeat"—time and again ns 110
tried to read the winking clots and
dashes.
At last the signaller in the nlau-o'-
war with cruel irony ,"pelt out very
slowly and distinctly, "Do you speak
i]nglish?" And thatt" a ship flying 1110
blue ensign of a 130tisti auxiliary

The use of convoys during the sub-
marine campaign sharpened the need
for good s'lgualling in the merchant
elites, and they became quite export in

groend of the elsy, the me'anin'gs of

Flag signals in the Navy are mainly
concerned with manoeuvring; general
conversation is carried on by Means
of semaphore er fla lamp, The
ailment or talking that is done in a
fleet, in twenty -tour hours at sea is
enormous.
Few people probably realized, be-
fore the official Jutland papers' were
issued', that from start to 11dish more
than 3,500 signals were exchanged be-
tween BriltiSll' ships 111 conneotloal with

British Pearl Fisheries.
Coming down the Highland railway
recently, where the line runs along-
stde the Tay, the writer saw two men
in a boat, one of whom was leaning
over the side, 'holding 0 sort of box in
the water.
A friend who was with him explain-
ed that the men were pearl fishing.
The box was a "water glass" used for
eliminating the surface r'ippl'e, and 430
examining the bottom of the river,
When a mussel is seen, the Renee
man pushes down a length of stiff
wire, thrusting It between the open
shells of the fish. These close at once
on the wire, and so the creature is
drawn to the surface.
These mussels are of considerable
size, and quite a fair proportion of
them hold pearls, though only a few
of these are sufficiently well shaped
or lustrous to be valuable.
Yet the mere fact that pearl fishing
still gees on in' a good many Scottish
and Irish rivers proves that it must be
worth while. The principal Scottish
rivers for pearl mussels are tate Doe,
Spey, 1)00, and Eslr, while another
centre of pearl fishery is in Ulster, in
the Foyle and its- trihutarle8.
Pearl fishing goes on regularly in
all these streams, and the proceeds of
the fishing aro void to local jewellers.
A jeweller at Strabane gave $40 for a
pearl which was found in a sn1a11
stream nater the town, and plenty of
pearls worth five to tea dollars each
are got every „eas15. Most of these
fresh -water pearls are white, but now
and then very beautiful pink 04100 are
cbtained. No special 01111 is required
in the fishing, and amateurs and holi-

India, from which Sir Ropert and Lady
Baden-Powell have recently returned,
there are in the eight provinces' thous-
ands of Scouts and Guides', sone of
them English, some of them of nixed
English and Indian parentage, and
sane Indian. The Chief Scout and
Chief Guido went out on the levita-
tion of Lord Chelmsford, the Viceroy,
with the object of consolidating the
movement on the original lines of a
unified organization. As the result of
their visit s'ame 20,000 Indian Boy
Scouts, who had been earolle(1 inde-
pendently of the parent organization,
and a further assoolation of 16,000
Scouts and Guides enrolled by Mrs.
Besant, agreed, with "iude,acribable
enthusiasm," to come into the. world
brotherhood. These aro but two in-
stances out of many of the univer-
sality of the spell exercised by the
principles of Scouting. • British by
origin, pan -British by adoption, they
have in them something that appeals
to the boys and gil'1e cf all nations,
and binds them together in a common
fraternity that can rise to a plane
above the ordinary distinctions at
race. With the passing of youth and
its enthusiasms, the inspiration of the
movement and its ideals must, in some
cases, inevitably decay. 13ut if, in the
majority, they eau'viv0, then it is mere-
ly visionary to hope taut, in each come
try where they thrive, they may in-
sensibly leaven the lump and become
the germ of 0 real and abiding League
of Nations.
