Somerset House is known all over and modern wills, yet few people the world as the depository of old know anything abcilut the history of the pla,ce. Meet of the present hailde lug in the Stfand dated from 1780, and in eront they° are etetues ot Justice, Truth, Valor, end MOdera- tion. The entiinal house took its barite from the Lora Protector of Ed- ward VI.'s time, about 1640. The duke pulled down all his neighbors' housed and built what was considered one of the noblest royal palaces la England. He was beheaded on Tow- er Hill in 1652, and the place revert- ed to tile crown. Successive queens ueed it as their residence until 1775, when Queen Charlotte settled down in "Bucking - hem House." Dawn to 137, the Royal Academy for fifty-seven years held its exhibition at Somerset House. It is, too, the home of King's College (the east wing), and the Audit, Inland Revenue, and Regis- trar -General's office: INTERESTING ROYAL RECORDS.

The fivst clock ot which there is any authentic record' was invented by „Richard de Wallingford, Abbot of St. Albanew in 1326. It was known to be going in the time of Henry VIII. Sortie early cloeits had no dials, so people had to yak until the hour struck to learn the time. When dials were first introduced they only had Owe hand and only marked the houre.

In a few years' time, if all goes according to plan, the Emerald Isle will have been traneformed and Ire- land will be well en the way to be - coining a great industrial nation, says an article in Answers. For some time work has been pro- ceeding on the Shannon_ power scheme, under which Ireland's most • famous river la being harnessed to Supply hydro -electric power to the whole country. In connection with this, Ireiattij Is being covered by a, network or overhead cables, while transforming station, rattier like chapels in appearance, are being built to connect with local distribution systems. Almost Immediately the new cables now crossing Leinster, the proVince which includes Dahlia and Water-, ford, are to be used for distributing electricity. For a year the current ea41.1 be 'supplied,•froin -the old power- house m Dublin, but after thateit will come front the great new hydro -elec- tric station at Ardnacruslia, On the Shannon. The use of the new cabin meantime is in the nature of an ex- eerlineut, from which the Free State authorities hope to gain valuable lessons. During the exec:rim nial perioa charges ,may be greater than when the main scheme comes into force. It is intended that the cost or light- ing a five -roomed house all througn the year will be two shillings to half- a-crown a week, including current for an electric iron or vacuum cleaner and payment on the instalment sys- tem for wiring. But the major aspect of the scheme is Industrial, It is hoped that the electrifying of the Irish countryside will eucoerage the setting up of new industries and that farmers will use power for agriculture. ' "The Shannon scheme gives our engineers their first chance," said the Free State Minister for Industry and Commerce the other day. "If it stops merely at the Sha,rmon scheme, we shall not have gone very far. What we want, and what we hope to get, is the big industrial development that will follow." A sum a 15,000,000 has aireadY been spent on the scheme, and 5,000. men are being employed on it at present. The work is done in shifts, epd goes on ceaselessly throughout the twenty-four hours. Lough Derg is being used as a re- servoir, being kept at high level by a weir and banks built on both sides of the Shannon. Lower down the river, where it makes a crescent bend, the water is to be diverted into an eight - miles canal and led to Ardnacrusha, where it will feed the great dynamos and then rejoin the natural course of the Shannon just above Limerick. So far, the 'canal is only a great dry trench, where scooping machines that take a ton of earth at a "mouth- ful" are still at work. At the same time, a 250 -ton embanking machine, the only one of its kind in the world, is building up the banks. At Ardnacrusha you can already see great walla, like those of a giant's castle, pierced by the apertures that are to serve the dynamos. Three new bridges, one already in use for traf- fic, span the canal. The ferro-con- crete building which is to divert the water of the Shannon into the canal is nearing completion. 'A feature here le a "fish ladder," which, it ia hoped, will enable the salmon to pro- ceed to the higher reaches of the river, and the loughs. What will be the result of all these ambitious projects, of which the Shannon scheme is the beginning? Only a very brave prophet would risk an answer' at this stage, says this writer. At present the population of the Irish. Free State is only Just over 2,000,000, and unless the use of elec- tricity for domestic purposes can be -very greatly extended, and there is a great expansion of industry, it is dif- ficult to see how this large-scale elec- trificatiou scheme is going to pay. But this much is certain ---if it does pay, Irelane is going to be a very dif- ferent place from what it is to -day. Canada Will Do Iler Share. It is announced by Dr, J. H. (r1 - dale, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, that in response to an invitation by the Imperial Agricultural • Research Conference in London, Canada has decided to take her part in the main- tenauee of the three Imperial reaux to be established for the fur- therance • of agricultural research, with •partictilar attention to soil sci- ence, anirtial nutrition azid animal health, These bureaux, which will be established in Great Britain, will emit altogether about $100,000 per an- num, the charges to be split between the member Governments.

Kipling Referred to Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. "On the road to Mandalay, where the flying ashes play," wrete and by the road to Mandalay he meant the Indian Ocean and the Bey of Bengal. For e. is in these re:et:ens —and indeed hi 1l tropical regions— that these creatures are leund. There are three distinct varieties of flying fish. The most numerous ts the so-called flying herring, with more than -fifty species. It is about a foot in length, and is often seen in shoals of many thousands. The second variety, the flying gur- na.rd, is slightly larger, reacning Soot and a half in leseth but le much I'll i* r, c11-1 tout epecies being 'known. It is a cadaverous looking creature with a bony head and many spines. The nutrine flying fishes aee cap- • able of wonderful feats of aviation. Their flight is not true flight, because they marmot direet it or prolozig it; it is really a glide. The fish leaps from the sea into the air and its stiff fins act like the wings of a glider,. Their flight is very rapid, and they can cover distances up to 500 feet. • They fly as a rule only when the sea is rough, and usually because they wish to escape their enemieseor because the approach of a boat has frightened them. By day they avoid boats as much as possible; but at night wben the sea is rough they of- ten fly on board. 11.1.111111111.1111111111111111111111111.1111111111111111•11le LYCEUM THEATRE Thursday, Friday, Saturday, January 3rd, 4th, 5th Richard Barthelmess ---In--- "The Wheel of Chance" Fanny Hurst Life is a game of chance. •••••••••••■••••• Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, January 7th, 8th, 9 "WILD BEAUTY" x" The King of Wild Horses HOSPITAL NIGHT Tuesday, January 8th is Hospital night.
