There are all sorts tit clubs in London which call themselves "ex- clusive," but there ie one which real- ly le exclusive. Its membership is at ,present limited to thirty; it is called the Pioneers' Club, is run by a wo- man, and its members are all ex- eon,victs, Xts membership committee is corn - posed of one-time first offenders, who "blackball" any Person seeking ad- mittance who is not one of them; Selves, and any member who has not tee tt+,$t. appreeiatigg,n and ac 1w�r1r- ation_for the club founder,Miss Mar- 3orie .Evan-Theneasi Mies Evan: Thorrits, one of the jol liest and most charming People one could wish to meet, Sounded the club nine years ago as the result of a chance meeting with a burglar! Speaking of this burglar, Niles Evan - Thomas claims hire to be one of the most attractive men, both in appear- ance and manners, she has ever met, "Before the war," she says, "he was just a kid, without any definite training, moral or otherwise, and had drifted into burglary in much the same light-hearted way that another boy would have drifted into running errands, Then came the war. He joined up at once, got his chance, and made good, Demobilized, he came home with a splendid army re- cord, lots of ambition, and plenty of grit. But -he had been • in prison. He had been a burglar. It was im- possible for him' to find a job. "I liked him arid helped him, and between us we thought out the idea for the Pioneers' Club. "At first it was all done by corre- spondence, with oceasional meetings in the Crypt of St. Martin's Church .in Trafalgar Square, or at All Hal- lows- in Mark Lane. Last year we found this house at 285 Old street, and I took it for the club premises." It is not very large, but scrupu- lously clean, One could eat one's meals off the floor -boards. It has a billiard - room, a small ; library, and several tables fitted up for Ping- pong, table croquet, and other social amenities, including plenty of packs of cards and ash trays. Social evenings and dances are geld once a week. To these members may bringtheir wives, sweethearts, mothers, aunts. During the rest of the week the club is reserved for men. All the arrangements and work of the house and drib rooms are un- dertaken by the members, and at- tended ttended to by them daily. New members may only be "put up" by old members, and there is a period of four months' probation be- fore any new member is elected. They have to promise to be honest and; loyal, to play the game, lookto the future, forget the past, and make good. A defaulting member may only re -join the club once. Should he err a second time his name is scratched off the books, and in the event of dis- honesty he is expelled for life. _ WINDOWLESS Engineer Predicts Than by 1950 We Will Live In Electric. Houses. What was characterized as an 'elec- tric house, in which windows will have only an artistic value, will be common by .1950, it was forecast by Dr. E. E. Free, consulting engineer, in an address delivered recently be- fore the Electrical Association of New York. Sunlight lamps, artificial' weather and soundproof rooms will then be the vogue, Dr.. Free declared. Moreover, such houses, with the electric ventilation. and their glare - toss hi rays illumination, in ch ys are w given off in controlled proportion to sunlight, could be provided at prices well within the reach of persons of moderate means, said Dr. Free. ' "Such houses are no dream of Utopia," he added, "but something on which construction could begin to- tuorrow if the industry decided to ,+, it„ By far the great majority of pres- ent-day American houses, lee contin- ued, are either too hot or too cold, • too moist or too dry, too drafty or too stuffy, and the correction of these faults, along with those of improper lighting, will be had, he declared.

One of the most interesting fea- tures of the recent Northeast Coast IExhibition, held at Newcastle, was tone that probably most visitorsmiss- ed—the fact that all the construc- tional timbers used in the Empire Marketing Board's pavilion were ac- tually grown in Great Britain. Scots, pine, Norway spruce and black Ital- ian poplar were the trees that sup- plied the timbers. They were all (grown in Cumberland plantations, and proved extremely satisfactory in every way. The success, says a writer in An- swers, of this experiment should lead to r.' wider use of home-grown timber of this kind. The attractive Tasman- ian oak and Australian ltarri and jar - rah, which have been used to overlay the home-grown wood in the floors, are also a good advertisement for Empire timber. It has been estimat- ed, by the way,that if home-grown wood had been used in the construc- tional onstruestional workof the exhibition as a whole, it would have meant about £14,000 in wages to British work- men. ormmen. SEA AS A POSTMAN. Letters Placed In Bags and Fastened to Buoys. A penny, two farthings, and a let- ter which had been drifting about the North Atlantic for two months and twenty days were delivered in London recently. The letter came from St. Kilda, but two others, sent about the same time,. are missing. St. Kilda, one of the Outer Hebri- des, off the west coast of Scotland, is the loneliest of the British isles, and, the whole Atlantic is its pillar -box, There is no post office there, so- stamps cannot be bought. Letters are put in tin cans with the necessary postage and east upon the waters. The cans are fastened to sheep- skin buoys with wooden floats mark- ed "St. Kilda Mail.' Please open." The set :of the Atlantic currents. washes up most of the St. Kilda mail .. in the Shetlands, but a good ma.uy letters have to be written off as lost.. in transit. Bottomless Irntlergiounii take.

The lake is in a canyon which is a continuation of. the White Sear cav- ern system,: and is about 300 yards long and in places about 'twenty feet wide.
