Some of thorn, like the Order of the Blind Mice, are British institutions; this one belongs to Guernsey, and le a purely charitable one, whose motto is "Happiness for all." Some years ago it was proposed to form an Order of the Lotus, which is symbolical or Hindu kingship, to commemorate the visit to India of his Imperial Majesty the king -Emperor. Sometimes animals and birds leave received decorations for conepieuous services. A French army carrier pigeon. which died recently had been decor- ated with the "Military Ring" for its services in carrying messages through the battle zone in the great war. It was stuffed and preserved in a war museum, its services being re- corded on a pamphlet accompanying the decoration. The picturesquely named Japanese Order of the Rising Sun was institut- ed in 1875 as a reward for military and civil services. The white ribbon, with red border that holds in place the iiamiug rod sun and its thirty-two white rays con- stitutes a romantic badge of the Orient that only a tow white men are privlieged to wear.. The Order of St, Michael and St. George, often knownas the "Monkey and the Goat," is a great bond of Empire, rewarding, as it does, many who have endured exile, bad health, and poor pay in Britain's outposts, of Empire.

Our grandchildren -may store their whole winter's supply of fuel in a thimble. To -day even our most effi- cient heating systems and our best machinery waste 99,9999999 per cent, of the fuel they use. Nature knows how to make the fullest use of fuel, but this Is one of the secrets that science leas not yet wrested from her. Every day the sun gives out light weighing 300,000 tons. Yet he has been doing this for millions of years, and will go on doing it for millions more. If the sun produced light as wastefully as we do, he would have become a burut-out cinder long ago. Speaking the other day at the World's Power Conference, in Berlin, r Arthur Eddingtou gave au indi- cation of what might happen when eau had discovered' the secret of sun atomic energy. Then a teacup could contain the whole of the fuel requir- ed -to run the largest power station for a -year. The world's biggest liner could voyage at top speed across the :atlantic and back again by consum- ing a piece, of coal the size of a ^.arrant. It es believed, remarks an 01d .lountry newspaper, that we may pos- .ib1y tap this mighty energy if we •to find a sooty to prrduce tempera- hnres far exceeding those we know :low.

At the Cav- nd(sh Laboratory a temperature near 1,000.000 degrees has already been reached, but to release sun - atomic energy something 1:ko 40,- 000,000 degrees may be necessary. if this can be done 1 is an aston- ishing thought that the end of the world may beepustponed lav man him- self. Even if the sun burns out aind ceases to give heat and light, ho may be able to produce sun -atomic energy and prolong the existence of the world from a matter of millions to billions of years, ANOTHER LEANING TOWl6It. GOLD AND SILVER. Prince of Wales Did Not Wish to CW Friendship. When the Prince of Wales opened the new promenade at Hartlepool re, gently, eight - year - old Muriel Cari handed him a gold knife with whiek to cut the tape. "But I must give you some money," said the Prince with a smile "Why?" asked Muriel. "Because," replied the prince, "11 might cut a friendship if a knife is given without a return of money." He took half a crown from his pocket and offered jt to Muriel, who egyly backed away. "You must take it, you know," urged the prince. "Well," she smiled, ."and will you clot the ribbon then?" "Yea," aaaweeed the Priam gaily and Muriel was persuaded to accept' the coin. "1 am going to keep'it. i will acl spend it ever," she said later. Blest Apple Steamer.

While the Leaning Tower of Pisa is the most famous 'monument": of its kind in the world, it isn't the only one. St. Moritz, where devotees of winter sports gather, can boast of a Leaning tower of its own. One of the sightsof this beautiful- ly situated Swiss village, now cele- brated all over the globe, is the tow- er of the old church, which has a'vely pronounced slant. It dates Iron 1573, and is the only part of the old church thatis now standing, Tho most Camou0 toboggan run in the world, the Cresta, is one of the big attractions of St. Moritz. It is !lose -quarters of a mile long, and the distance bas been covered in lit- -y -nine seconds, or at very nearly the speed of an express train. Then there is the skating. some of the finest skating in the world can be seen at St. Moritz, and tiro place would be worth visiting for that alone.. Broad Arrow Symbol. The' "broad arrow," used as a lis• tinguishingmark,on Government pro- perty, was the "cognisance" or her- aldic symbol of Henry, Viscount Sid- ney, whowas Master -General of the Ordnance, from 1693 to 1703, l.n time it came to be used by other Government departments besides the Ordnance Board . (now the War Of- fice), with which it was first associat- ed. Curiously enough, the "broad arrow" was a symbol of power and authority among the ancient Druids. Homo for 03. S. Embassy.

Cheng, were passengers aboard the Duchess of Richmond recently, They tra- velled across Canada via Cana- dian Pacific Railway and sailed from Vancouver to the Orient on the liner Empress of Canada. Heaviest Easter traffic in years with main line trains running in extra sections and with added coaches and parlor cars on branch line trains, Canadian Pacific Rail- way, was reported over the recent holiday, right across the Domi- nion. Special low fares attract- ed many passengers. In the annual statement of the C. P. R. for last year, published recently, it was bruught out that as a result of decreased earnings the great majority of railway. em- ployees have taken a cut of fif- teen per cent. in wages; higher officers have been reduced 20% and the Company's directors have had a 25% cut in their fees, while E. W. Beatty, Chair:nen and President, has at his own request taken a reduction of forty per cent. Eight days only after they had witnessed the Grand National classic at Aintree, near Liver- pool, a number of Torontonians 'reached their homes in time for the Easter celebrations. The achievement was made possible by a fast voyage of the Duchess of Richmond under her new com- mander, Captain Arthur Roth- well, Announcement is made by the Canadian Pacific Railway that it Ivil1 now accept shipments of freight via Port £CcNicoll and its lake and rail route subject to delay at Port McNicoll, pending the first sailing.
