It is like a personal in- sult to see barbed wire or warnings against trespassers and much more to see dwellings set across the edge of tho •sea, whether close down to water, as in the Isle of Wight, or up on tbe cliffs as near Looe In Corn- wall. If any land in the island should be nationalized it is the land that has one foot on sea and one on shore. Access to the sea is a national demand; and no national park is so much desired as the very edge of the silver girdle. There are many gross offences against this privilege in existence; but it is said and felt by many seaside dwellers in a num- ,Si~ ,`tlbu-3�.�-t;.b,d;3xe.":tiCa7ra....k. bu,,.y and sell' patches of land bor- dering on the sea is vary rapidly on the increase.. Even rough dunes be- come "building land," that is, a popular site for shacks. Some curious user; are made of the edge of the sea, I visited on area of rough dunes that has been famous, and indeed still is, for the number and rarity of the birds, in- sects and plants that have a natural home there. An essential part of it was being used for the stabling of camels and such plaguy wild fowl. It appeared'that the area had been discovered to be an excellent desert, and a passable Pacific island, a wild corner of Asia or Africa, or where not; and we may presently find the prickly pear—that unlovely pest — planted in an English scene with the object of lending "artistic verisi- militude" to the otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative of the film. Some owners, ,Indeed many own- ers of property along the shore, are wise and careful enough. Over one very lovely stretch of coast in North Devon a proclamation is set up in bold capitals on a board, containing three prohibitions. You may not put up a tent dwelling, dig sand, or preach a sermon inland from the point reached by a moderately high tide. King Canute did not offend for his sermon was acted below high water mark. Such care of the seal's edge is not, however, universal and generally speaking, landowners are poor and ready to sell land that approaches west SENTINEL Never before could you buy Firestone - made tires for so little as these Sentinels at new, reduced prices.

The threat against access to the sea is general; and more than rights of acces's are in jeopardy. Some of the villas and shacks . re- cently erected are a grievous eye- sore. The shacks are often half hid- den in dunes, as at Saunton sands, but some of the cliffside villas of Cornwall and of South Wales bea- con their repellent colors and shapes from afar, and there is no chance of such disappearances as have been both welcomed and lamented on the "slipper" clay of the east coast, for they are founded on granite or- the hardest of igeneous rocks.

The problem of restoring handwrit- ing to a status of importance in American education deeply concerns its members. But the ancient and lovely art of calligraphy has fallen, we fear, upon evil days. Undoubtedly, despite the tremen- dous multiplication of typewriters, more persons than ever before are using their pens or pencils to in- scribe words. Unless for some reason the attendance at schools and colleg- es declines, handwriting of a kind probably will continue to be increas- ingly practised. Only the general use of silent typewriters or stenotype machines for classroom work could drive out of use the modern succes- sors of the stylus. But the handwriting of the class- room is intended primarily for the reading of the writer. It tends to become hieroglyphical, as many an instructor has discovered in the weary task ofdecoding his students' papers. He tolerates it, perhaps be- cause his own is worse. Some pen- manship experts hold that the note - taking use of writing is the chief foe of their art. They even argue that substitution of machines for that purpose would be a godsend to calligraphy, because it would liberate the pen for nobler and more leisure- ly exercise. When the printing press super- seded the skilled makers of mane - script it was commerce that saved handwriting. The clerk on the high stool in the merchant's office was required to make out invoices and bills of lading in round, flowing, easily legible script. Models were de- veloped on the business desk that went into the schools and shaped the style of those long and delight- ful letters which once were written for the sole sake of communication between friends and kindred minds. Alas, commerce now gives us no aid, and the speed of modern living affords few of us time for cultivating the graces of correspondence in either mental or manual expression There are _busii est Men who seldom use their fountain pens except for autographing letters and checks, or scrawling memoranda on a pad. It is true some authors are , still scriveners. They find that imagi- nation works more readily and• words flow more freely when fingers grasp a pen or pencil. But legibility is necessary only r" or the author and his typist, He asks neither his pub- lisher nor his public to read his script, TRANCE PLANTS, AND INSECTS WITHOUT WINGS From the Manchester Guardian The two young scientists who have bean on a British Museum' expedition to study plant life and insects at various altitudes on mountain ranges in Hard, Africa have just returned to England after a more successful six months than they had ventured to expect, They will not knowethe value of their finds until the fifty eases of specimens now on their way have been examined, but they, know they have secured specimens of many species not yet represented in the national collections. ^f' This was not theirfirst adventure. Dr. F. E, Edwards, the entomologist, had collected specimens in South Atnerica, and so had the botanist, Dr. George Taylor, in South Africa, ,They wanted to compare the plants and insects on different moutain ranges, so they went first to the Aberdare Range for a fortnight, where they found one of their plant specimens at a height of 12,500 feet, :On these mountains, and on all the others they explored, were giant groundsels, close relations of our small weed and with a flower not unlike. These, however, were trees eaching a height of 15 feet to 20 eet, with trunks two or three feet dindiameter. They found lobelia trees 20 feet `high and tree ferns 15 feet high, „and quantities of mosses and ferns. ;Among their specimens are sections sof very tall trees, Discussing the re - ,sults of their explorations at the Natural Science Museum recently, they said that on the three ranges they explored they found the same types on all of them, but different species. The expedition visited the Ru- wenzori Range twice staying there for six weeks on tbe second visit and getting a magnificent -view from the summit of the dully -named Ob- servation Peak, and they pitched their camp 13,000 fent above sea level, Dr. Edwards captured some rare insects on the snow-covered rocks at a height too great for plant life. He found big beetles in the leaves of the groundsel, and he captured many of the wingless flies. He ex- plained that frequently in the moun- tain regions subject to strong winds, where wings are not of much use, the flies, especially those that walk about on the ground, lose their wings. Hitherto the museum has had no flies ;til this type. Theyvisited three of the extinct volcanoes in the Buringa Range on the boarder -tel Uganda, and here, etumaii they saw noi ale clepe n .t -re ,. lease ate: -elephant t,rdttss through • the forests, In • the thick Bamboo growth on the lower ,slopes '.hey discovered two new species of mosquito, which deposit their larvae in the stens just about a joint whore water collects. These mosquitoes look and bite like. the •ooniinon type, but they are not fever -carrying. So our handwriting tends to be- come without form, and that is to be deplored. For there is a certain discipline of thought and feeling in setting the hand to shape clearly, and with some measure of beauty, the words and sentences which ex- press them. And the reader can feel .the personality behind the phrase more intimately in the script +hon in the type. We have no wish to return to the flourished capitals and shaded strok- es which Mr. Spencer introduced to the American public through his business colleges more than 70 years ago. That ornate style, now practis- ed mainly by those peripatetic art- ists -who write visiting cards for vain patrons, may well be left to thele, but if the professors of penmanship can promote a renaissance of writing that has legibility and simple beauty of form they will add something to the grace of life, and save a lot of time for the •decipherers of cor- rmespondenceents." and all penned docu.- Alaska Travel Gains Juneau, Alaska—Travel from the United States to Alaska increased approximately 50 per cent. in 1034,. over the preceding year.

Discourteous Motorists "One evening recent:y a car stop- ped at our nearest neighbour's home; the horn blew two or three times, but no one appeared. The car moved slowly down the road, turned in slightly at our door, and blew again. Not knowing what might be want- ed, I stepped to the door, which, as it was a warm day, was open. The driver of the car stuck his head out of the car and said, "Could you tell me where So -and -So Iives?" (Never a please.) The thought came to me: 'If you would just keep on blowing your horn at each house along the road eventually 'you would find the home you want,' but the words were not spoken. Instead I directed him and without even `Thank you,' he drove on. Did you ever think how an automobile can save a lazy per- son a few steps, while someone else is called upon to take a few more?"
