it is curious to observe what fair re-

pirical and vulgar methods. Take, for
ineatnee. the test of sales. Entirely
miel-alding as applied to a limited
period, it gives a very fair gauge if ex-
tended over a sufficient lapse of time.
The plays of Shakespeare, the novels
of Sir Walter Scott, have probably
been sold in far larger numbers than
any other volumes of poetry or prose
fiction. And Shakespeare's predomin-
ance is, as it should be, by far more
marked than Scott's. In the same way
one would incline to assent that the
most (mated poet is also the best. *
A writer like Spenser would
be put too low, while. Pope would be
put too high; still their respective
value to the literature and to the na-
tion would not be altogether inade-
quately expressed. * *
Of all literatures Latin has been in-
comparably the most cited, partly be-
cause Latin is still familiar to every
educated mats, but largely also because
of the practical bent of Latin genius.
'Horace is more quoted not only than,
Vergil, but than any poet in the world,
yet no one assigns to him a rank cor-
responding to this fact. The weakness
of Horace lies jest in the universal
applicability of his sentiments; has
counsels are so far-reachieg in their
wisdom that they approach to plati-
tudes. * * * And it is curious to
observe bow in our own literature
"Hamlet," the Most subtle and elusive
Of drainaa, is, nevertheless, a perfect
storehouse of aphorism and familiar
reflections. * * *
All men cannot fairly be judged by
their best known phrases. From Keats
a thousand people have echoed the
phrase about a "joy forever" as again-
st one that ever cited appositely those
lines, infinitely more characteristic,
that tell of
elelagic casements, opening on the
foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands for-
lorn."
It was Shakespeare's way magnifi-
cently to encroach upon the common
domain and say, "This is mine, though
millions have used it." Keats wan-
dered in lonely places; he does not
come to us, we have to go to him. It
is only from the lettered that he or
those of whom he is the chief receive
the tribute that quotation conveys. A
phrase remembered for its mere
beauty, a thought kept in mind for its
strangeness, not for its familiarity, is
produced at the opposite occasion only
by men who have a real sense of lit-
erature. * * * Lamb is himself

the Empress Eugenie proved her de-
votion to the land where she once
reigned.
She was not born in the purple. She
was the granddaughter of a descen-
dant of the Scottish Kirkpatricks, who
had set up a wine shop in Malaga. Her
mother had ambitions, and married a
Spanish nobleman, who was the father
of the lovely girl with regullar fea-
tures and wonderful golden hair,
vvhose ambitione, for her part, were
whetted by a gypsy's prophecy that
her happiness "would bloom with the

The wholesale requisition of the ex-
cellent mattresses, which are the poor-
est French housewife's pride, had not
less ironic cruelty. Close at hand
were the factories at Roubaix, design-
ed to work up the coarse wool of Ar-
gentine sheep, and here wool and cot-
ton torn from the bedding was made'
into soldiers' clothing, and the op-
pressor was kept warm while the
drapers' shops stood empty. Worth-

in schools took desks and toys and
even picture frames to feed their
stoves. Machinery in the coal mines
of Lens was treated like that of the
spun in some ninety factories. Bel-
fast wove the flax thread into its best
damask lace and the most excellent
cotton daess-stuffs were made. The
thriving town of Armentieres, now a
shapeless heap, grew up on its linen
spinning. Consequently the machin-
ery was of highest quality, and Lille
had also high-power engine works and
other factories, such as Lord Lever-
hulme's for soap. A catalogue of all
was published in Germany and tenders
accepted from manufacturers there, to
whom the machinery bought was des-
patched by rail. But not all was dis-

was resorted to. At the spinning mill

employed some 500 women and 200

Surgeon Lieutenant Commander Ed-
ward Leicester Atkinson, D.S.O., R.N.,
and Lieutenant David Wainwright,
R.N., says a London despatch.
The accounts of the services, in re-
spect of which this decoration has
been canferred, are as faraWS:
Surgeon Lieuteuart Commander At-
kinson—On September 16, 1218, a sa-
nious explosion occurred amidships on
board H.M.S. Glatton while lying In
Dover harbor. This was followed lin-
mediately by an outbreak of fire, the
oil fuel burning furiously and spread-
ing fore and aft. Efforts were made
to extinguish the fire by means of sal-
vage tugs. The foremost magazines
were flooded, but it was found impos-
sible to get to, the after magazine
flooding positions. The explosion and
fire cut off the after part of the ship,
killing or seriously injuring all the
officers who were on board with one
exception. The ship might have blown
up at any moment.
At the time of the explosion Surgeon
Lieutenant Commander Atkinson was
at worlc in his cabin. The first ex- •
plosion rendered him unconscious.
Recovering shortly he found the flat
outside his cabin filled with dense
smoke and fumes:"' He made his way
to the quarter deck by means of the
ladder in the warrant officer's flat, the
only one still intact. During this
time he brought two unconscious men
on to the upper deck, he himself being
uninjured. He returned to the flat and
was bringing a third man up when a
smaller explosion occurred while he
was on the ladder. The explosion
blinded him, and, at the same time, a
piece of metal was driven into his
left leg in such a manner that he was
unable to move until he had himself
extracted it. Placing the third man on
the upper deck he proceeded forward
through the shelter deck. By feel, be-
ing totally unable to see, he hero
found two more unconscious men,
both of whom he brought out. He was
found later on the upper deck in an
almost unconscious condition, so
wounded and burned that his life was
despaired of for some time.
Disregarded Personal Safety,
On February 4, 1919, H.M.S. Penarth
struck a mine and immediately began
to sink. Lieutenant David Wain-
wright, taking command of the situa-
tion, at once superintended the man-
ning and lowering of the starboaed
gig, and later the launching of the Car-
ley floats. Hearing there was a stoker
injured in ane of the stokeholds,he
called for volunteers td'show him the
way and at once made his way for-
ward. There was by now a heavy list
on the ship and it was apparent she
would not remain afloat much longer,
the upper deck of the starboard side
being already.a.:evash. Lieutenant
Wainwright made his way below un-
aided, and while he was in the stoke -
hold the ship struck a second mine
abaft of him. The forepart was blown
off and sank, and he was forced to
wait till the stokehold had filled be-
fore he could float to the surface up
the escape. He displayed the great-
est gallantry and disregard of his own
personal safety in going below at a
time when the ship was liable to sink
at any moment.
EARTH'S METAL CRUST.
Contains Eighty Substances and Eight
Per Gera. of Metal is Aluminum.
Science can only guess what gees to
make up the main body of the planet
on which we dwell. But it knows what
the outer crust is made of—to a depth,
say, of ten iniles—because the ma-
terials have been "coughed up" by
volcanoes and are easily studied.
This crust is composed of about
eighty primary substances, or ele-
ments, among which are numbered the
various metals. Gold, for example, is
an element; iron is another, and
aluminum is another,
Nearly 8 per cent. of the earth's
crust is almninum, which is the most
plentiful of all the metals. It occurs
in nearly all rocks; every clay bank is
a mine of it. But to separate it from
its ores is so difficult that until re-
cently it was a mere curiosity of the
laboratory.
Four and a half per cent. of the
earth's crust is iron. Aside from that
metal, the useful elements commercia1.

hand in the game, such its copper,

of the earth's crust.
Electricity has made available other
valuable elements (alufninuin among
tbern), which constitute nearly one4
half of the must of the planet.
