Remarkable Cruise of British
Submarine Lasting Half Year
A despatch from London says:—
The submarine K-26 arrived at Ports-
mouth o0 August. 12th, on the conclu-
sion of a 20,000 -mile independent
cruise, the longest, ever made by a sub -
marina During the whole of the voy-
age the officers and crew lived aboard
without any assistance from :a parent
ship, everything the submarine needed
being carried in her.
The K-26 is the largest vessel of her
class, and like allothers in it, she is
steam -driven, which makes her much
hotter than are Diesel -driven boats.
She left Portsmouth Jan. 22, andhas
been to Port Said, Aden, Bombay,
Colombo end `Singapore and Malta .in
the Mediterranean.

Harvest Moon Not Weather
Prophet, Says Probs.
The harvest moon is set in the
heavens to illumine -the late labors of
the harvest field, not to act as a wea-
ther prophet, meteorologists say. Wes-
tern farmers who have been predict-
ing that if the full moon passes With-
out a frost there will be vane until
the crop is harvested, are deluding
themselves, state the weather sharps,
who de their prophesying by rule and'
reason and not by guess.
The moon has absolutely nothing to
do with weather conditions, according'
to Sir Frederic Stupart, of the'112eteor-
illogical Office, Toronto, when ap-
proached for all opinion on the:pop-
ular theory that if there is no frost
before the full moon passes, there will
be none until the crop is harvested,
"We do not consider that the moan
has anything to do with it," he stated.
"It is just an old wives' tale,”
The Greatest Delusion.
Selllshnees, always defeats its own
purpose, because it violates the very
purpose of our being- Whenever we
do petty, mean, :selfish thinge, we are
up against an inexorable law; and the
law that we have violated will punish
us and make us repay to the last tar -
thing,

That to be raved is only this—
Salvation from our selfishness•.
The poet is right. If it were not for
selfSshness there would be no poverty
and very little crime or suffering in
the world. If ie were not for•selfish
nese, there would have been no war•
in 1914. If it were not for sel6shnesrs'
the great nations of the earth would
not be split by hatreds and jeolotte'os
and;wrangling over non -essentials, as
they are to -day. If it were not for
