LTR l.And ne'er a one lead anything to say; Yet minds were busy in that Sepoy crew, Thinking of things next year their, team would do; So, that when Wingham they again should meet, They'd make THEM taste the sor- rows of defeat,.. Yet, greatly puzzled, they would fret and frown, They could NOT humble Somers, Ross and Brown; The Lockridge brothers they could ne'ei subdue, Norheadway make against the Mit- chells two; STOP McIntyre—that would really be, As hard as scoring 'gainst theTrave McGee.

Wingham Versus Lucknow Second Spasm Entering the Arena at 7.50 Wednes- day night the. 12th-inst., I immediate- ly discerned evidences, of a loaded:at- nmosphere loaded in all chambers— with TENSENESS. It was not only loaded with tenseness, it was surchar- ged, soaked, saturated with tenseness. There are degrees of tenseness; this was the third degree, tenseness here, had reached its penultimate limit. It was no tepid tenseness either; it was fervent, feverish,. and HOT, so aw- fully hot indeed that it was affecting the ice in the Arena. It was affecting everything; it .was all -pervasive. It had exerted an influence on the Gate Officials, it had attacked the Band. The entire multitude of spectators were affected by it, and were indeed excited crowd. Much agains my will, my coolness and collection were being decimated and destroyed.

MOST WONDERFUL UNEfZ The Puffin Hunts Its Food on the Floor of the Sea, Says Oliver G. Pike. Some sea birds go to great depths Lor their food; that little clown of birdland, the puffin, is one of our clev- erest divers. A few years ago I was ,tanding at the base of a great sea cliff,` the rocks towered above me for aver a thousand feet, and every few minutes I heard a loud hissing that sounded like :a shell cleaving the air, writes Oliver G. Pike, F.Z.S., in Tit- 13its, , It was dusk, so I could not see the cause of the noise, but I knew each time there was this rush through the air it was caused by a puffindiving. from the heights to the sea. It was impossible to estimate the speed of the birds, but they must have been going at a tremendous pace, for in diving like this they use their wings to force them forwards, as well as the weight of their' bodies to carry them down. If you watch a single puffin diving for food, you will notice that it stays ander water for 'a whole minute; most diving birds come up at about forty-five seconds. A largeflock of puffins diving is *ell worth watch- ing; at one moment there raay be a hundred birds on the water and a moment later one or two, and they keep on popping up far from where they disappeared: The great home of the puma is the island of St. Kilda, where the birds are found in tens of thousands. The higher you go above the wat- er, the farther you can see beneath. the surface; that is- why the gannet files at a height of anything up to five hundred feet when searching for food. When he sees a fish far down in the sea, he puts his head down, brings his long wings to his side, and gives one of the finest exhibitons of high, diving it is possible to see, He enters the water with a great splash, and will go to an alarming depth. If the fish tries to escepti by dodg- ing, the bird will follow in its wake, and it is a lucky herring that eue- ceees in getting .away. Fishermen have caught gannets in their nets at a depth of over ono hundred feet. When they enter the water, the im- petus of diving alone would carry them to a good depth, but they use their large feet to assist thein in their progress. Although the gannet is a large bird, weighing about one and a half pounds, it can travel under the water as fast as,most fiah, The black -throated diver searches for its prey in the sea and also fresh water lochs, and is one of our most competent divers. This bird will chase and capture sea trout w€tis:s- ing two pounds. The two large eggs of the diver are laid close to the water's edge, be- cause it has great difficulty in walk- ing on the land, but it is one of our cleverest divers. It has a method of disappearing which makes it look as if it has vanished without actually going under the surface. Most diving birds make a great splash when they go down, but if the .diver is leaving its eggs on the ap- proach of an enemy, it will shuttle quickly to the water, then, placing its long neck fiat on the surface., art gives a few paddles, and wiheu it is -iii deep water it sinks like a ,snbmarie, leaving scarcely a ripple behind.

What must be the luckiest acedent on record occurred when a young tailor fell downstairs and broke his arm. He was Adon Hoffmaen, employed as an apprentice in a small tailor's shop. Illis accident rendered hien in capable of following his trade, .but it set hitt brain working. The . result was a clothes pressing machine which he could work with his foot. His idea was ridiculed by his, friends, but he wasnot discouraged, and went on until he had not only perfected his machine, but elso de- signed .a similar one which could -be worked by steam. The time required to press a suit of clothes was quartered, but still his fellow -tailors looked upon Ilofi' mann's invention as a freak. To -day the machines are in use in almost very part of the world, and nxaril fifty thousand of them have bcet. sold. In fifteen years the Hoffmaru Company has increased its yearly re eeipts from $100,000 to $4,000,000 A good story is told of the .first ,nan to have his clothes pressed b) eloffmann's steam machine. Ile was an insurance agent who had issen at- tracted by the tailor's sign, "Trou: ers pressed while you wait." He en eered the shop, divested himself of 1 he garments in question, and sat down to wait. His alarm on seeing [rim possessions disappearing into the Saws of what must have looked like x steam alligator are more easily, imagined than described. Hoffmann succeeded in calming. trim, and the client was so enthusias tie that he advaneed the money tc, e:art the Hoffmann Company, whiel. blas brought wealth and fame to the tacky inventor. France Seeks to Hold Whet ,It Has and Gain More. French chemists bane taken the lead in the preparation of Perfumes and they are working strenuously to retain that lead, This implies con- stant research work in the labora- tories. Some striking results occasionally are obtained. For instance, the Academy of Sciences has just been informed, in a paper; presented by Dr. Darzens, that the rose perfume, which is 'one of the properties of .phenylethylio acid, is immediately transformed into the perfume of the lily -of -the -valley by the . introduction into the acid of a methyl group. Thus is the transmutation of scents achieved. Hawaii Wants Old Guns. Guns that played .a part in over- throwing the monarchy of Hawaii, and' are now lying discarded at the Benicia arsenal in .California are wanted there to be .used as decora- tions either in the grounds of the old palace or in some public park. Dele- gate Victor S. Houston will be asked to take measures in Congress for .their return to Hawaii. The guns saw their first service in Austria, ;and were later sold to the Hawaiian Government .for. $21,000. They were used in the unsuccessful 'Wilcox rebellion in 1889 and in the ' ,overthrow of the monarchy in 1893..; •:they 'also eame into play in the in- • eurrec.tion of 1896. When the United states took over the islands the War Department ruled that the guns were ' obsolete and ordered them sent to The Taebuuar y meeting of•the Wo- 33etricia i T TRIUMPHS OF S1URGERY. :3.seprtc,Surgery Has Advanced from Marvel to Marvel. No science has seen a more speedy or more spectacular developrnen than has inedei•.n aseptic surgery. Founded only sixty-five years ago b3.

Yet with this opening up of every hidden corner of the body to his knife, the surgeon has reduced the mortality of the operating table. "In a large series of major oper- ations," states W. H.

Three million Chinese children in Hopei province alone are unable to read or write in their own or any other language, the Department of Education of the province reports. The Department urges institution of compulsory education for all chil- dren as soon as possible, but esti- mates that such a program would re- quire $30,000,000 at the start, and as the province has been barely able to meet ordinary administrative ex- penses, it is not believed that a real Beginning toward the proposal can oe made in the near future. As a temporary measure, the De- partment suggests that compulsory education be started first in large cities, where the people may be able to afford it. It suggests also that compulsory education among the children of well-to-do people may be. enforced, and that later the children i' poor families may receive eduea- tin. Gentian house $ieles.
