A single kernel of wheat has been known to produce 12 hundred graina; ut in the'East the usual harvest is from twenty to sixty times the amount of the seed. So there are natures from which great effects coine from the Gospel seed. It fell in the heart of Saul otT Tarsus, and unnumbered have been the re- sults.

Alet as the eau dries ttp etirfeeetioll quickly, jeAt ea the rein Molitents the surface attacks of the desert' tribes. The French authorities bave therefore been under the necessity of taking the steps they have in order to reduce - the 'tribes to subjection' and protect the routes through this territory. 'These are the reasons put forward, but the real motive is different. In- salah and the oasis of Tuat are prin- cipal points in the line of communi- cation between Algeria and the Up - Per Niger, which the French Govern- ment is preparing to connect by a railway starting from Biskra or from the •southern terminus of the Western Algerian railway and run- ning through the desert via Timbue- too to Koulikoro on the Niger, the present terminus of ,the railway from St. Louis, on the genegal, up the valley' of that river and across the watershed to the Niger. This proposed railway is one ot the highest strategic im- portance from a military point of view, as it would enable the garri- sons •of the French settlement in West Africa and on the Niger to be re -enforced at anyisnoment by an in- terior land route nstead of the risky one by sea. It ia also important for •commercial reasons, as it would give the French the control of the trade of all the interior oaf the yet untouched western -Sahara, and so convert it in- • to RH integral part of the great Afri- can empire, the foundations cilowhich were laid when the French established themselves on the Senegal and in Algeria. • The Sultan of Moroceo, it appears, Is unwilling to relinquish the sover- eignty a his loosely held territories, and in consequence the Frenoh Gov- ernment sends a special envoy to im- press on him its determination to pro- ceed with the • work of putting the country in order and opening it up to civilization. To what lengths the French are prepared to go in order 'to bring the Sultan to recognize the situation cannot be known until it is further developed, but the energy and promptitude with which they are acting looks as though they are ready to use force II necessary. A disturb- anee of the status quo hi Morocco, however, is a serious matter, as Eng - taut has certain pre-emptive rights so far as Tangiers and the surround- ing country are concerned wbich she would not fail to assert. Whether the French are prepared also to pro- voke the assertion of those rights and to resist it if made is a point that greatly increases the interest in the steps they ate now taking. In view of the situation in South Africa the matter is worth watching, THE BRIDAL VEIL. The bridal veil is a survival of the canopy held over the pair on their way to" church; this practice still sue. vives in Oriental countries. Another explanation is that it stands for the linen cloth which was laid on the heads of both bride and groom, and remained there until after the benedic- tion had been pronounced, In the days of the primitive Britons the bride wore no veil, but allowed her sbundant locks to fall *boat her shoulders. This fashion was prevalent with troth nobles and serfs. Even as late as the reign of Henry vrn, brides Wore their hair in this simple style.

Signor Marconi, the well known inventor of the system, has thought it necessary to explain to the Royal Institute whY no better arm - Dem could have been expected. He ad- mits, that the war In the Transvaal offered an excellent opportunity for testing the matte of his system, anti he doe e not hesitate to claim that the results would have been eminently sat.

Bullock and four assistants want to South Africa as representatives of Signor Marconi, and with instruc- tions to use his system there. On their arrival at De Aar they were, accord- ing to Signor Marconi, much disap. pointed at that no steps had been taken to provide them with the material without which they could not set up their instruments. kfajor Baden- Powell came to their assistance, and, thanks to him, they procured masts and the other ,necessary ' material, which they set up themselves. In view of the fact that they were obliged to work hastily, and to use any material ; that oame to hand, it is not surprising, says Signor Marconi, that wireless 1 telegraphy, under .suoh conditions, w.as not a pronounced success. 1 The theory has been broached that the main reason why despatches could ; not be transmitted readily and oor-1 realy was' because the electric waves were disturbed by the presenoe of Iran in the valleys and mountains through which they passed. • Signor Marconi, however, claims that this theory is wholly untenable, since there is abundant evidence • that electrio! waves are not in any way disturbed by , iron. Futhermore, • he expresses the opinion that the defeotive working of the instruments must be attributed to the fact that the masts were not high enough, and that owing to the peouliar dryness of the soil, there was not sufficient contact virith the eartlit Under proper conditions he insists that the instruments would work as well in South Africans they have work- ed everywhere else, and he hints that there need have been no lack of Ono - 'oasts if the authorities at the War Of- fice ,had provided ,hia representatives • with proper masts and other material. • • WOMEN or HOLLAND.
