A YOUNG AVIATOR'S ESCAPE
0 Canadiah aviator has nett
mare thrilling experiences
at1 the front than Lieut.
Patrick O'Brien, who re-
etlys returned to this country for
brief visit while on leave from ac-.
tkVe service. He was captured by
the Germans and bed a thrilling
etascale. • The home of Lletit. O'Brien
is in San Francisco, but h came to
leanai34 and received his tfraining as
AIR a an at Toronto and Camp
.Borden e Then he went overseas
with the Royal Flying Corps.
After some weeks' service on the
West front he was brought down in
a one-sided battle by the Germans,.
triad on being taken into Germany on
his way to a prison ramp, jumped
from a train whichwas going 30
mulles an hour, and, by many heroic
and lever moves, managed to get
to Holland, and then back to Eng -
d.
O'Brien was reported missing last
tugust 17, and his reappearance was
es, great surprise to his friends. On
the morning of August 17 enemy
gunners forced him to land, but,
orten.ately, he got back to his own

Church With a History.
There are many interestin.g as-
sociations with Royalty -attaching to
the hestoric church of St. Martin's -
in -the -Fields, where the King and
Queen recently attended a service for
soldiers and sailors. .It is not gener-
ally known that pews are permanent-
ly reserved there for the Sovereign
and the Prince of Wales owing to the
fact that it is the mother church, Of.
all the Royal parishes, and the parish
church for Buckingham Palace.
Henry VIII. built tlae first chur,h
to prevent funerals passing his
palace in Whitehall. The present
edifice dates from 1726, and its chief
claim- to architectural distinction is
that it possesses the only perfect
example of a Grecian portico in Loll -
don. In th,e older church sonde of
the children. of Charles IL were
christened..
George I. presented it with an
organ, on which Handel frequetly
played. Nell Gierynne and Jack Shop -
pard were buried in the ancient
vaults. It was, opposite the present
St. Martin's, -where the National Por-
trait Gallery Wove stands, that the
Merry Monarch, .on his way to Drury
Lane Theatre, caught his first -
glimpse of the famous beauty as she
was selling her oranges.—Tit-Bite.

Reoent experiments have
• proved this. What is more, these
experiments have proved that odor
travels through water, just as itdoes
through air. Aug -tens have laid so
much stress on the d of exciting
a fish's interest by the look of food
that the effect of scent has been
overlooked. A' ehaltit 'yell bite at a

Titles Abolished.
One of the recent stews items from
Petrograd is that "all class titles,
privileges, and distinctions" have
,been abolished, so that it may be
surmised that conditions in Russia
are the sanae as those wittily describ-
mi the old French story. M. de
Saint Cyr having applied for a pass -
pose in the days of the French Re-
vonitiott, is asked his name. •
What is your name?" .
-M. de Saint Cyr."
"There are no more Monsieurs."
"Vry well; de Saint Car."
"There are ho more De."
"Good. Saint Cyr; then." •
"There are no longer any Saints.".
"Then I am simply Cyr."
"No, for there are no sires; kings
are abolished:"
NO "CENTRAL EMPIRE."
Plan of the PauGermans Would Not
Be Feasible.
A perusal of the German prep,
says Th•e London Daily News, leaves
no room for doubt that the infatua
tion with the "Middle Europe" idea
is rapidly passing away. The crea-
tion of Herr Friedrich Naumann's
literary fancy at first attracted tine
venal attention and gained numer-
ous adherents; but now, even in
Herr Numann's own camp criti-
cism finds eloquent expression in
numerous press articles from well
known writers. Among. them, that by
Prince Lichnowsky, the former Am-
bassador in. London, apublished in the
Berliner Tagebiatt, is of particular
importance.
He refers to the well known diffi-
minim; which the two portions of the
Hapsburg Monarchy have to surmount
in order to arrive at a tolerable econ-
omic roodus vivendi, and asks how
A Year's Figares.
The War Office bas issued a sum -

looses in the war during 1917. The

A MASTIER OF STYLE.
Jumping at Conclusions.
Sir Sohn, Simon, the eminent advo-
cate who recently won golden opin
ions for, his i successful defence Of
Lieutenant Malcolm, was once ad-
dressing a group of young Legal stele
dents, and among other things he
warned them always to sift carefully
all evidence, and never on any ac
count allow themserves to jump at
conlusions.
"Now," he continued, "a friend of
mine who has just returned from a
hunting expedition in Central Africa
told me of a most remarkable occur-
rence. His party were treking
through a heavywooded region when
the cries of a number of birds at -
treated him to a bit of overgrown
jungle. Peeringewithin he -beheld a
trunkless body."
But, Sir John, "interrupted one
of his hearers, "surely you mean a
headless body."
"My dear fellow," retorted the
smitiog K.C, "didn't I warn you not
to jump at conclusions. The body
was that of an elephant."

notced that the residue of gravel
with which the vessel hate been load-'

They soon found a trapdoor, and on
raising this they discovered a tank
running the whole length of the ves-
sl. The tank was estiraated to con-
tain. from 3,500 to 4,300 gallons of
rape -seed oil. Soap, gin, and tinned
milk were also found, The barge
was of 600 or 700 tons capacity, and
the tank was so constructed that no-

Turgenev is One of the Worlds
Greatest Writers.
"Turgeney is the purest of stylists,
the first classical prose writer of his
country," Dr. Charles Sarolea insists
in his book, "Great Russia." "Like
Pushkin, he had the most intimate
knowledge and mastery of the re-
sources and the riches of the Russian
tongue. I remember once, when in
the Crimea, and wishing to learn the
RUSSiall language, I asked Maxim
Gorky what would be the best me-
thod to follow. Gorky, the least ar-
tistic, the least We.sternezed of writ-
ers, sent me first of all to Turgenev. •
It is a fact that foreignere begin
their study of Russian by reading
Turgenev. It is he who initiates
them into the secrets of the most
complex, the most finely graded, the
most varied and the most subtle of
in Deem Ian gu ages --perhaps of all
'swages the sole heir to the genius
ofethe Greek tongue.
