The visit of King Victor Emmanuel .with the Russian grand dukes ap- pears to clear up the mystery of the whereabouts of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitc:i. He has been at one time or another reported dead, in captivity of the Bolshiviki, and living incognito in various places. The last report had him residing on Prinkipo Island in the Sea of Marmora, be- tween Asiatic and European Turkey. A Euphrates Valley. The Euphrates Valley, we are told, is to be the granary of the world, and this makes the construction of a railway linking it with the Medi- terranean an imperative necessity. The difficulties from an engineering point of view are not great.. It is hardly realized that from the coast of the Mediterranean at the mouth of the Orontes to the River -Euphrates is a dlstancek of. but 130 miles, only forty miles of which are more than 1,000 feet above sea' level. Thus there need be no tunnels and no heavy gradients, and once the Euphrates Valley is reached all is comparatively- easy, for the ground is as flat as the proverbial pancake. The distance saved would be im- mense. Take, for example, the car- riage of goods between London and Mosul (Nineveh) or Bagdad. I3y the present route it works out as: Lon- don to Busreh by sea, 6,700 miles; Busreh to Bagdad by rali, 300 miles; Busreh to Mosul by rail, 500' miles. Now, assuming that there will be a railway from Antioch or Alexandretta to Mosul 'or 'Bagdad, the distances work out as: London to Alexandretta by sea, 3,400 miles; Alexandretta to Mosul by proposed rail, 400 miles; Alexandretta. to Bagdad by proposed rail, 50 miles. It will be seen at a glance thaton.the rail journey there is not much to choose either way, but on the sea transport 3,300 •miles woulli be saved, to say nothing of eliminating the cost of the Sues Canal dues.—The Near East. Where He Excelled. In an Irish village there is a gro- cer's shop, which is also licensed to sell beer and spirits. The proprietor of the shop prides Iiimself on his skill in making up packets. One day a farmer of the district bought a pound of coffee. "I'll bet," said the shopkeeper, "that I can -put a pound of coffee in a smaller package than any other man in Ireland." "I believe it," was the reply, "for I know you can put a quart of whisky in a smaller tiottle than any man I ever • saw:" CASTOR IA Par Mots and Children. 1dWY*apsiibt Sore tha Signature ol %That is believed to be the largest motor bus has been built for a south- ern dil company, a six wheeled affair carrying eighty passengers.

ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Queen Mary of England is colonel in chief of the eighteenth hussars. Women wearing low necked dresses are prohibited from entering Notre Dame church, Paris. During the last year approximately 68,000 girls in the United. States ran Laway or disappeared from their homes. Mrs. Lafon Riker, appointed as a member of the state board of control in Kentucky, is the first woman to hold such a post in that state. Through the camPaign being in- augurated by the Alliance Feminine, Brazilian women hope to better them- selves to enter upon business careers. England, France and 'America find orange blossoms the ideal crown for their biides, while pink -carnations and red roses deck the brides of Spain. Th -e universities of California and North Carolina have issued' regular 'outlines on citizenship for women as a part of the.university extension pro- gramme. The, political education of women in Italy has developed so, rapidly that there are now more than 13,000,000 women in that country who are fit to vote.. The first American woman regular- ly entering the dental profession was Mrs. L. H. Taylor, who matriculated in a Cincinnati dental college im1864. Women lawyers in Italy are not looked upon with much favor and only one out of \a total of forty feminine barristers in that country is doing well. The new woman's club recently ,or- ganized in London has an American bar with one of the best lists of cock- tails in the west end of London.

IT'S THE LIFE, BOYS, -IT'S THE , LIFE Bancroft Times: Every once in a while some cheerful individual re - market° us: "Well, now that the peper is out, I suppose you can take it easy for two or three days?" Yes, how delightful it is that a country editor has nothing to do between press days. Business runs along automat- ically. When paper bills come due money drops off the trees with which to pay them.. Subscribers vie with each other to see who can pay the farthest in advance. Advertisers beg for additional space. And the way the news hunts up the edition is also pleasant to contemplate. There is something strange about the way the news items act. When the paper is out the editor simply goes back to his easy chair and looks wise and waits for next week's press day. The flay 'before press day the people line .up in front of the office door and they file past the desk and tell him all the news of the week, He writes it up in fifteen or twenty minutes, takes it back and hangs it on a hook. The compositors take the copy and shakes it over the type cases, say a few mystic words, the type flies into place, and after a few passes by the foreman the forms are ready for the press again. And the editor goes down and deposits some more money in the bank.. It is the greatest snap in the catalogue. Now if the editor could only do away with press day hip job would be complete. THUNDERSTORMS IN THFin MAKING Have you ever been in the air to watch a thunderstorm grow? asks Popular Mechanics. If you were mere- ly on the ground looking up, then you saw 'only the bottom of it. The airman is the one who sees just what is happening in a thunderstorm. A few hours before the sky was, perhaps, perfectly clear. All at once a few white patches become visible to the eye, and if they quickly begin to dot the whole sky, it is a warning _sigre Eacli fluffy cloud ! represents the point where moisture rising from the earth has begun to condense.

Its bulging tops are called thunder peaks or thunder heads and they are responsible for the light- ning, the heaviness of rainfall, and the hail we sometimes have in mid- summer. The energy of a thunderstorm is amazing. A single great cloud may contain billions of pounds of water I vapor. The flashes of lightning from 1 cloud to cloud are, sorn.etimes twenty miles in length, and when we stop to think that it takes 'a current of 15,000 volts' pressure to produce -a spark an inch long, t we can only wonder at the immense amount of electricity involved in a single flash. Semettines the wind from a thunder- cloud, or the squall as it is called, is violent enough to level trees and small buildings, and is improperly called a tornado. Theretis a, big dif- ference. &tornado is a violent whirl- pool of air that sweeps across the country and twists off trees and .roofs in its path. The wind, from a thunder- storm blows straight away from the storm and never twists. . Broadly speaking, there are three general stages- in the development of a thunderstorm. There must be strong currents of moist air rising from the earth, as indicated by the areni ranee of the white patches of cloud This condition must continue until the sky is covered. And lastly, the forcereof these upward currents must be great enough .to pushahe clouds up into thunder heads. A thundersterm then results.

I can't pay the int'rist now without starvite, an. I, hain't got no one to , bid in thi propity fer me if it was to be sold." "Mis' Cullom," said David, "I 88:4a I'd got somethite more t�- tell ye, an' if, when I git through, you don't think I've treated you right, includid this rnornin's confab, I !hope you'll fergive me. It's this, an' I'm the, - only person livin' that 's knowin' to it, an' in fact I may say that I'm the only person that ever was really Imowin' to it. It was before you was married, an' I'm sure he never told ye, fer I don't doubt he fergot. all about it, but your husband, Billy P. Cullom, that was, made a smafl investment once on a time, yes, ma'am, - he did, an' in his kind of careless way it jest slipped his mind. The amount of cap'tal he put in wa'n't large, but the rate of int'rist was uncommon high. Now, he never drawed no divi- dends on't, an' they've ben "cumuiat- in' fer forty year, more or less, at compound int'rist." . The widow started forward, as if to rise from her seat. David put his hand out gently and said, "Jest a minute, Mis' Cullom, jest a minute, till I git through.- Part 6' that eap"- tal," he resumed, "consistine of a quarter an' some odd cents, was in- vested in the cirkis bus'nis. an' ---the rest on't—the cap'tal, an' all the cash caplal that I started in bue'nii with —was the ten cents your husband give me that giny, an' here," said David, striking the papers in his left hand with the back of Ms right, "here is the dividends! This here- second mor- gidge, not bein' on record, may jest as well go onto the fire—it's gettinr low—an' here's a satisfaction piece which I'm goin' to execute now, that'll clear the thousate dollar one. Come in here, John," he called out. The widow stared at David for a moment speechless, but as the signifi- cance of his words dawned upon her, the blood flushed darkly in her face. She sprang to her feet and, throwing up her arms'cried out: "My Lord! My Lord! Dave! Dave Harum! Is it true ?—tell me it's true! Yost ain't foolhe , me, air ye, Dave?' You wouldn't fool a poor old wonaan that never done ye no harm, nor said - a mean word agin ye, would ye? Is it true? an! is my place clear? an I don't owe nobody anytithe—I mean, no money? Tell it agin. Oh, tell it agin! Oh, Dave! it's too good to be true! Oh! Oh! Oh, iny! an' here be cryire like a great baby, an', au —fumbling in her pocket—"I do b lieve I hain't got no hanlechif--01i, thank ye," to John; 9'11 do it up an send it back to-morrer. Oh, what made ye do it, Dave?" 4 *(Continued next week.) 4..
