At Nottingham there was a family maned Wootton, mem- bers of which had for centuries' tate reputation of being ,daring steeple- olimbers not for adventure, but in the way of business. One of these' Wosttons, in the time of George 1I1., was famous for repair- ing steeples and spires without using scaffolding; lie did his work by the help of ladders, hooks and ropes. When he repaired St, Peter's spire, Nottingham, in 17S9, having finished his work, he beat a drum at its top thousands of people looking 00. Another of the Woottons undertook the perilous task of ascending the spire of St, diary's Manchester, which was very lofty. By a tremendous wind the ball and trees had been bent clown, and looked dangerous. This steeple -climber raised ladders one after the other, assisted by blocks and ropes, cod secured each in suc- cession to the stonework with clamps, When hegot nater thetop of the spire wit I I the work became more difficult. and the spectators anxiously watched him as • he fixed the last ladder, having accomplished this feat, Wootton stepped from the -ladder on to thecrown or pinnacle of the steeple and stood quite upright, with his hands free. Then he raised 0 cheer, which was responded to by the crowds be- low, ,More extraordinary still, one of these steeple -crimpers is said 10 have performed the feat of standing upon his head on a steeple top, but there is some doubt about the story. • GIRLS!

A similar practice exists in several churches In South America. The practice is said to have beam prevalent in Great Britain at the beginning of the seventeenth cen- tury.

Whether' the Geiinans provide the- sires, concerts and outer-foriils of light entertainments for the soldiers at the front --whether the 'German soldlers provide such things for them- selves -we cannot- say. Our own cherry fi,phttng men are well provided. for in this respect, A chronicler in the Wind- sor Magazine states: "You will lind amateur theatricals in. every field of the war. A big centre like Salonika procloced a regular Lon- don pnntomine, Which brought an au- dience of some five hunched men each niglejt-not forgetting the Greeks, 'thele were three huge tents, an orchestra of piano, piccolo and violin, The scenery was mainly army blankets, and the stage scarcely more ambitious than the „"three planks" of great Du- mas' ordaining.

"1 -fere Dick has a military career, 1'itzwarren is a government contract- or, and tate villains of the piece bear the names of famous stew and jam - vendors, whom Tommy appreciates while he abuses them. The patomine is a drum -lire of army -jokes, with interpolated songs and variety' turns so ingeniously devised as not to ap- ,.pear dragged in at all, but an inte- gral part of the story. All the cos- tumes and properties are locally made, even to the gorgeous gowns and wig of the beauteous Alice, The lighting was done with three acetylene operat- ing lamps, four headlights of ambu- lances, and five -and -twenty big cam - dies stuck in ars many tins. The per- formance made a lasting mark, even on military maps of the district, for these soon bore- "Dick Whittington" names such as 1'itzw•arrell's Corner, Alice Lane, and so an. It was a field ambulance which prodsced this piece, and the general was so delighted with it that lie sent it round to all his divi- sional twits as a rest] tonic for weary men: "To turn school house or barn into a regimental theatre is Tommy's su- preme delight, lie abondnns himself to the task with riotous exuberance.

But few know just hots fast or fleet or slow these things are. An interesting computation made by scientists is de- signed to throw light on the natter. One experimenter rimeuter fl, 1es out that a riding_ horse covers 40 inches while walking; at a jog trot it covers eleven feet in a second. The two-minute-a- ntile horse covers 44- feet in a second. The leisurely ox moves over only two feet a second when hitched to a wagon and about twenty inches when .attached to a plough. The elephant, which can pull more than six horses, moves about four feet six inches in a second, and run- ning as rapidly as it can be said to be able to travel but eighteen feet in a second. The I•ion is claimed to run faster Haan the swiftest hunting horse, which is from 80 to 100 feet a second, while others claim it cannot travel more than half that distance, The. great variety of deer are all quite speedy, but in certain localities they can travel nulcl, more rapidly them in others. A roebuck has been known to cover 74 feet n second when Pursued by dogs. The giraffe is said to pass over the ground at the rate of about 50 feet a second, while the kangaroo covers ten feet to fomxteen feet a second. The tortoise is netts slower. One five inc.ses in length covers but about one -inch in a second. r5'W ot1°S 215,osphodiutli A Eer»ed , 4se Qr>r1, l5n ate t 7 I n pp 1 . r tee Uba whole 'Yonas a and tern, a 1,> nits evste tn, mattes new Blood in ofd Vmns, C1w•rs Nrr•11ow,d lle1fddl•1l• Ment i sold I3rdlrc I4'errH, />'09,91'1):16- 1/%1,"23,,,, lasrreu- r tree Gh.e lnlar Lar rin o !os rtf illi s r1f nfl T fr, ri 1 rr box six r A9onso, P ec n e , t l allira7 sir a !! n lei$%rn Ona alta ed 1> writ 5. en, Boldby all rlrlte.
