many degrees of frost, but because of
the peculiar penetrating. quality of
the damp atmosphere. The past fort-
night of the month has been more
pleasant, but at no time were we un-
comfortably warm in our fall regalia
of Canadian winter clothing. But the
English believe that their Winter
weather is mild as a rule, and per-
haps too variable for a furnace. If
the day is cold they light a fire and
by revolving in front of it can get
heated in time.
We pointed out to them that when
one bought a furnace he did not sign
a contract to keep it running at full
blast thenceforth and forever, that
it was not li1e a -vestal taper, but
was, on the other hand, designed and
intended to be let out or modified ac-
cording to the weather. No matter,
central -heating would never do for
England, the climate being altogether
too mild and balmy, especially in the
winter. If central heating were in-
stalled in England the rugged con-
stitutions of the inhabitants would
be undermined, and in a genera-
tion or two the race would become
extinct: Leaving a centrally heated
house would be like stepping oue
of a Turkish bath into a refriger-
ator, and there would be an equal-
ly dangerous shock when one en-
tered a centralty , heated office. One
who had frequently to leave his
office in the course of the day would
bechme the victim of something gal-
loping in a few weeks. Far better'
to 'go round swathed from ankle to
chin in felt undergarments,
.It is to be borne in'rnind that most
things in Eriglend, including the coal'
situation, are/ far from normal.
Maybe if there was an unlimited
supply. of Welsh coal available at
moderate prices, and na scarcity of
maids to light fires and clean the
grates, the absence of furnaces
would not be so frequently brought
to the notice of visitors. But when
coal is scarce you wake in a colds
room, shudder into your clothes and
sit clown to -breakfast partly numb.
Then you travel in an unheated bus
or train to An office where heat is
'just as scarce as at home, take lunch
in a chilly restaurant or club, and do
not get warm- again that day until
you', get into bed, where you cuddle
a erock of hot water. Toward
morning this apparatus gets so cold
that it wakes you up. You. cast it
froth you as though it were a viper,
and through your chattering teeth
vow never again to admit it to your
company. But at night' again, it is
so invitingly hot, and you are so
cold, that you fall again as to an
insidious drug.
The trouble is that in England
when once you get thoroughly chill -
there is not much opportunity to
get warm again. Heat is about a'S
scarce in one place as another. Some
of the hotels, of course, lave central
heating, and there you can be com-
fortable. • In the Liverpool hotel
where we were staying, for instance,
the management, with a magnificent
gesture, has a housefly living in each
room as a testimonial to the clim-
ate. In other places, the only wing-
ed creatures that. could survive are
snowbirds. For grates, there is
much to be aaid 'as ventilators, and
for their cheerful appearance. There
is something essentially English
about an open fireplace. Moreover,
the houses are so solidly built that
they probably require less artificial
heat than ours. It will be difficult
to dislodge the grates, and some
stout English hearts will be broken
when they go, but really and truly,
they let you down badly in colr wea-
thr. They do, indeed.

"Intervention Mexico," tells us

Mexican executive, we are. told, is a
disposition to be "sot" in his ways.
"Carranza has has never varied his' pro-
gram since the very first day that he
tacked his little thesis up on !the
door of the custoras house in Piedras
Negras, when he began the revolu- I
tion against Huerta,". says Mr. In- I
man. It is this quality, we are Ied
to believe, which has kept Carranza 1
in the National Palace, in. spite of
the fact that it has often been
thought he *as "done for," until
"people now aie saying that there
appears to be no one of suflleient
strength to threaten his power."'
Also, it is said the Mexican President
likes to do things himself. So he
chooses as his lieutenants not such
men as have pet ideas of their own
they want to work out, but men who
will do as he tells them. We like-
