Sco pine, Norway spruce and black Ita lan poplar were the trees that au plied the timbers. They were grown In Cumberland plantation and proved extremely satisfactory 1 every way, The success, says a writer in An ewers, of this experiment should lea to a wider use of home-grown tfmbe of this kind. The attractive Tasman Ian oak and Australian karri and Ja rah, which have been used to overla the home-grown wood In the floor are also a good advertisement for Empire timber, It has been estimat ed, by the way, that If home -grow wood had been used in the construtient work of the exhibition as whole, It would have meant about £14,000 in wages to Ilritish work men. SEA AS A POSTMAN, Letter -e Pincer] in flags and Fastened to Buoys. A penny, two farthings, and a let-' ter which had been drifting about the North Atlantic for two months and twenty days were delivered In London recently. The letter came from St. Kilda, but two others, sent about the samo time, are missing. St. Kilda, one of the Outer Hebri- des, off the west coast of Scotland, la the loneliest of the British talcs, and the whole Atlantic Is Its pillar -box. There Is no post oi$ce there, so stamps cannot be bought. Letters aro put in tin cans with the necessary postage and cast upon the waters. The cans are fastened to sheep- skin buoys with wooden floats mark- ed "St. Kilda Mall, Please open." The set of the Atlantic currents leashes up most of the St. Kilda mail In the Shetlands, but a good ntan,v letters have to ho written off as lost to transit, Bottomless Fnderground Lake, A subterranean lake, so deep that no plumb lines dropped front a raft have touched the bottom, is being ex- plored In the heart of Ingleborcuglt Mountain, in the Pennines, a few tulles from Ingleton, Yorkshire, Eng- land, A rough boat has been carried Into the caverns piece by piece, and It is hoped that shortly the public will he, able to make the ,tourney, The lake is in a canyon which is a continuation of the White Scar cav- ern system, and le about 500 yards long and in places about twenty feet wide. The water is crystal clear, but looks black on account of the tremen- dous depth, and the roof is of solid limestone in which are occasional natural tunnels, or "chimneys." The lake is 600 feet beneath the top of the mountain and more than a mite from the hillside entrance to the Caverna. Women may soon be wearing shoes made from the skins of cod and other flab, if experiments conducted by the Scottish Fishery Board meet with success. Two sten have shown that it is possible to transform Ash skins into excellent leather by the applic- ation of a solution of alum. At pres- ent the process of manufacture le rather costly, but it is hoped that, by using some of Ole cheaper by - pro- ducts of seaweed as a substitute for alum, the process may become cheap enough to make flab -,skin leather practicable.

Less Power—Moro Sgt' d. The latest decision of the Britl'h Admiralty, who propose to build d - atroyers based upon the hull design of Sir Henry Segrmvc's speed bot , Miss England, is a convincing reply to those cynics who always attempt to deprecate speed efforts on land and water as being useless, writes "Looked On" in the London Dally Chronicle, The extreme Importance Of having a correctly -shaped hall is illustrated by the tact that although her American rival had engines de- veioping just double the power, Miss England, at 92 miles per hour, prim - el slightly the faster craft. Tho fast- est British destroyer has recorded a speed of 44 m.p.h., but naval experts are of the t,i,fninn that the new type of destroyer will exceed the mile -a - minute mark Electric Eye for Schools.
