The Xing, who has Itiallgeated the deepeet laterest itt Mr. Itaktane'a Terri- torial Army eehoma, ocariree naiad the Lords Lieutenant of Engleech feeothead, ,and Wales to attend at Bieskingham Palace Mi Saturday afternoon in order that he might acquaint them with their new duties and responsibilities. Ws Majesty also Appealed to the loy- alty of ael eulsjects to aid in making the scheme effective, aad memo that under the new plan the Iniperial force shall have iu the Territorial Army a sec- ond line properly trained ane equipped AG as to be reaciy at ail times to take the field. The Kin& $peech. "aly Lords and Getitlemem—I have sununoned you, the Lieutenants of Eng - laud, Scotland and Weles, to acquaint you with the new duties and responei- ellities whieh will now devolve upon you. 1 gave my coneent by a statute cm Aug. 2 for the formative of a new Territorial Army, and the success -which will, I trust, result will depend mainly upon your efforts. Henceforth, my Yosoma.nry and my Volunteers are to form the Ter- ritorial Army, over the destinies ef wbleh you aud your county association's aro to watch. To you axe now delegated the duties of raising, equipping, and. main- taining that portioe of this foree—the Imperial Army of the second line—Which now lies within the shores of this king- dom. 'The command and. training of this force will be intrusted to the generels in the commands, and to the generals and other officers eerving under them, so that the force may enjoy in the full- est degree, in common with the regplar Army, those advantages wheal accrue from being instructed in the highest and most developed school of military thought, It ie father intended that the Territorial Army shall reoeive that com- plete military organization without which no army is competent to take the field. To accomplieh this much will heve to be done. Chenges will have to be made in some corps which at present exist, and other corps which do not evist will have to be created. "Your duties will not be confined to raising in your respective eountiee the forces which the military authorities may require of you under the scheme whMh will hereafter be communicated to your associations. You will be re- quired to hand over these forces to the military authorities in a fit condition to take the field, whether for training or Mr War. "It will also rest with you to provide 'and maintain rifle ranges, drill halls, sand such accommodation as is nece.ssary ler the safe. custoay of axms and equip- ment. Funds will be placed at your dis- posal by the Army Council for these and 'similar purposes. I look to you, my lords sand. geutleme.n, through the instrumem tality of your associations, to protect the interests of reservists and old sol- diers who have worthily served their 'country in all parts of the world, and risk you to enlist the sympathies of the ewnere and cultivators of the soil to 'facilitate the provision of areas for the training of my troops. "My. Lords and Gentlemen, the impor- tant duties and responsibilities which were formerly yours are being restored to you, and when you return home to undertake this great and honorable task II look to you to foster and direct by your precept and example the spirit of patriotism and voluntary effort which has for so long distinguished my loyal subjetts." .RIVAL TO THE TURBINE APPEARS. The breaking of the Atlantic record 'by the Lusitania and the high non -offi- cial speed trials of the Mauretania turn- ed all eyes upon the good work accom- plished by the turbine engine. Now, however, it is stated a Scotch en- ,gineer at Liverpool has invented an en- ,gino that Is far superior to the turbine, tThe advantages -claimed are that: It is even steadier in its action. It caa go slow, half speed, or full apeed without vibration and without :loss of steam. It ean take full advantage of the :steam pressure and velocity- without, ae the case of the turbine, depending on •velocity alone. It has the same power astern as ahead. It can be reversed instantly, and when moing at. any speed, and It would do the same work as the tur- Mine with a considerable saving in spate, 'weight, and at least 30 per cent. less in This new engine has been named the "'radial" engine, it has. been protected, :and, says the Liverpool Journal of Com- merce, It has already come under the ;notice of one of the largest German en- gineering firms, who are said to have made a very substantial offer for the matent rights. The important principle is that the Omani pressure is direst on the piston from the boiler. Reversed at Full Speed. The small engine on the test work pro- duced with 5 lbs. of steam 30 revolutions per minete; with 10 lbs., 80 revolutions; -with 15 lbs., 200 revolutions; with 30 ;lbs., 450 revolutions; and with 50 lbs. tan number of revolutions up to 1,000. e etarting of the engine, the vary - ;Mae of its speed, and reversing may be •evericed with the greatest ease imagist. Alm while from slow to full speed re - stares but the work of a second, For the "radial" engine, so called by ithe inventor, it is Maimed that it has one-third more power than any other ex- ieting engine of the same piston area, and that It can do anything which any other engine mut do, and tbat it can do It better, with greater efficiency , and economy. ts designed for marine work, but, if aPalied to tile railway, according to a well-known engineer, it should at least give double the power of the present lo- comotive, as niftily engineers are liana pered for space, and the new engine could be fitted to any axle. .As no other gear is required, it could be fitted on each axle under the cab or mder tho boiler itself, and each axle Bdriven singly or coupled as desired, LORD CROMER ON MR. KEIR HARDIE. Lord Cromer signed the role for free- men of the City of London on Tueeday in the presence of a distinguiehed gath- ering at the Guildhall whieli included Sir Edward Grey, Earl Carrington, the Earl of Crewe, the Empire Agents -Gen- eral, and nemy members of both Houses of Parliament. The document conferring the dignity of a "Citizen and Skinner ' upon him was contained in a gold caeket richly enamelled with designs symbolical of Ins meat career in Egypt. Referring to the political situation in Egypt, Lord Cromer said: "I think it would be a raietake to take too seriously the proceedinge of the Egyptian nation- aliets or their friends in this country. Some of the latter I run obliged to re- gard as the worst enemies of Egyptian progress. I am not opposed to those who aro in favor of grad.ual extension of M- eal government. I allude to the extreme iste who exist in Cairo, as also in Cal- cutta and in Dublin, They cannot be comillated save on terms which would involve a relapse into the disorder and misgovernment of the past. I notice that the almost culpable folly of an itinerant member of Parliament, Mr, Keir Hardie, has whetted the ill -regulated enthusiasm of a portion of tbe corm/lenity in Ben- gal. (Cheers.) I have no doubt the agi- tators of India will be kept firmly in hand by the Viceroy and, the eminent stsitesman who now presides at the In- dia Office. "For my part I see only one remedy for this unrest in Egypt and India, It is to continue steadily to do our duty towards the people of 'both countries, to come down with a heavy hand on the extremists if they overstep the law, and not be deterred by their presence or pro- ceedings from adopting such reforms as will satisfy the aspirations of all mod- erate and reasonable men," (Cheers.) THE SCHOOL CANE. It was decided by the Education Com- mittee of the London County Council yesterday that instructions be given to head teachers in elementary schnols use every endeavor to reduce all forms of penishment to the minimum compati- ble with the welfare of the children and the school, and not in any case to inflict corporal punishment—save for grave moral offences—until other methods had been tried and failed. Another resolution provided that cor- poral punishment in infant schools should only be given in very exceptional circumstances, and then • only by the open hand of the teacher on the arm or hand, but not on the face or head. CHANNEL FERRY SCHEME. M. Clemenceau, the French Premier,' accompanied by M. Caillaux, Minister of Finance, has received a deputation froru the Channel Ferry (Dover) Company, in- cluding Lord Weardale, Sir Charles Riv- era Wilson and Admiral Sir Oyprian Bridge, who submitted the text of de- clarations made last week by Mr. Lloyd - George in reference to the proposal on behalf of the Government. The deputation pointed out that fer- ries similar to the one proposed were el - ready in operation in various parts c f the world, especially between Derenaek and Germany, and in seventy-eight places in the United States, under severe con- ditions of sea and weather. M. Clemen- cean said he was in full agreement with Mc. Lloyd -George. "If the scheme is feasible,' he said, "it is desirable.' ' THE QUEEN PRESENTS COLORS. Her Majesty the Queen on Tuesday at Buckingham Palace presented new eelors to the 1st Battalion Alexandra Priecess of Wales' Own (Yorkehire Rage ment). The new colors were placed on piled drums, and the consecration service was performed by the Right Rev. _Bishop Taylor Smith, D. D., chaphen-generra to the forces. The new colors were then handed to her Majesty by Lieutenant C. H. Mars- den and Lieutenant B. L, Maddison, who afterwards received them from the Queen on bended knee. On presenting the new colors, her Ma- jesty spoke as tollows: "It is with the greatest pleas= that I confide these colors to my own regi- ment, of which am so justly proud, end for the second time within, thirty-two year:.

MUSIC HALL OFFER TO M. P. Dr. Macnamara, M.

"To sing a few songs among my constituents a,nd for a worthy cause is ono thing," he said, "but to ap- pear as a 'turn' at a London music is quite another. There WAS some sug- gestion of devoting the proceeds of my appearance to charity, but even on such conditions I could not possibly accept.

Arising out of the riots in Calcutta on Oct. 2 and 3, the Government of Bengel has issued a resolution saying that the charges against the police were gross exaggerations,. and that a most unsatis- factory feature of the disturbances was the fact that they took their origin in the conduct of a usually orderly class. The conclusion is irresistible—that the disturbances svere the indirect outcome of the violent writings and speeches of agitators. The Government of Bengal has also ad- dressed a letter to the Government of India saying that the "situation might easily become very serious, and there will be very grave trouble if the example of respectable people incited by agitators is iinitated by the naturally turbulent Masses. Sir Andrew Fraser, Lieutenant - Governor of Bengal, warns the Indian Government of much more serious possi- bilities as the direct outcome of the per- sistent campaign on the platform and in the press with the object of bringing con- stituted authority into contempt and en- couraging resistance to the pollee. The Lieutenant -Governor is of opinion that it is imperative for the Government imme- diately to take measures to stop violent speaking and writing. FORTUNE FOR A TOWN. The market town of Portadown, County Armagh, has been. notified of a substantial legacy in curious circum- stances. On Monday the death occurred of Mr. William John Watson, who was over seventy years of age. Although born in Portadown, the old man's early life was spent in Australia, where he amassed a fortune of about L10,000. Returning to his native place, he purchased property, but himself lived in the Mum:4 poverty in a small, three -roomed house. On Mon- day, as he had not been seen for two days, the police broke into the house, and found the old man lying dead.- Death from apoplexy was the verdict of the coroner's jury, and the funeral took place on Wednesday. Later, the will of the deceased was read, and it was found that Watson had left the whole of his pro- perty to Portadown for the purpose of providing healthy recreation for the people. Football and "rowing for speed" the testator specified as recreation which was not to be provided for. He also pro- vided that the urban council should have a dinner every five years, the ex- penses not to exceed Ll per head. At each of these dinners the testator's wilt is to be read. STARVED AMID WEALTH, A lonely old maiden lady, able to make money in business, but unable to spend it evert for the needs of life, was the subject of a coroner's inquest at Is- lington, Her natne was Sarah Jackson. When she retired from business she led the life of a recluse, alone in a first floor back room. Death (said Dr. George Madden) was due to syncope and chrome bronchitis. Her end was accelerated by the want of food end proper care, Tied up in pieces of rags the coroner's officer found money in the room to tile amount of aso le. 5c1, The jury re- turnde a verdict in accordance with the doctor's evidence. CHILDREN'S EYES. The statement is made by Dr. James Keir,„ Medical Offieer of the Education Committee of the London County Coun- cil, in his annual report, issued on Wed- nesday, that, as a result of the vision testing in the elementary schools in 1000, treatment wns reeommended for nearly 30,000 children. The medioal officer, in urging that dental hygiene must be taught in the school, says: "There is no way of deal, ing with money in the interestr9 of pub- lic health which will return so enormous a gain to the population for the small expense required."

The tragedy of Gordon's death atliber. tuna made his name one never to be for- gotten there. But it is good to know that the name now suggeets something be, sides tragedy to every visitor or dwel- ler in the Sudan. Many who have heard Gordon College spoken of continue to regard it as only a, vague aspiration—a scheme that float- ed for a thee on Gordon's name, but which neither had nor was ever intended to take actual shape and become a liv- ing reality. But it has becorae a fact; one which is described by a writer in the Cornhill Magazine as the seed plot of the future proeperity of the Sudan. The building iteelf is an imposing mass of dark red brick flanked by square towers. It is entered by a broad. stair- case leading into a spacious hall. There are primary Masses, classes for training teachers, Masses 'for training Government employees, classes for no- tive magistrates, Masses wheel). are to serve as a Sandhuret for native officers of Sudanese regiments.

GROWING, DWARF TREES Requires Much Time and Patience, Says ,a Japanese Horticulturalist, Exactly how these tiny trees are pro- duced is known only to a score or so of individuals. But S. Hide, a Japanese fellow of the Royal Horticultural So- ciety, was good enough to supply ' the writer with some interesting facts relat- ing to the methods employed. It would seem that the quality essen- tial to the successful dwarf tree grower is patience, infinite patience, backed by a fund of calm resignation unknown to the western mind. Fifty years is named as the shortest period in which a really good and saleable dwarf tree may be grown, while a lifetime is not long enough to produce the highest examples of the art. The tree artist merely makes tho beginning; his son, or even his son's son, reaps the reward of his labors. • Dwarf trees are produced from seeds, or in. eases where this is not practical from carefully selected cuttings. When the young plant begins to grow it is tended with ceaseless care, and from the commencement of its career its natural tendencies are subjugated to the will of Its master. Each twig, each leaf, as it makes its appearance, becomes the ole ant of the closest scrutiny. Shall it be permitted to grow, and if so, in what direction? May it not be advisable to cut it away altogether and encourage growth elsewhere? These and a dozen similar questions occupy the mind of the Japanese artist, and upon their correct, solution depends the ultimate value of the .tree, for to be perfect the dwarf must possess a shape and balance equal to the best life-sized models.—Windsor Magazine. THE SHEEP INDUSTRY, Important Bulletin Issued by the De- partment of Agriculture. The Outario Department of Agricul- ture has just issued a bulletin on the sheep industry of the Province, the first publication of its kind by the depart- ment. It contwins the result of an me Imitative inquiry hit° the industry and the reasons for its decrease in Ontario. These are given as lack of profit. owing to low prices for mutton and wool, los- ses from disease and at lambing time. It is pointed out in respect to the firet that prices are now such as to make the sheep industry a profitable one, pro- vided the other drawbacks can be off- set, Suggestions with this in view are given, iuclucling proposed amendments to the sheep proteetion act. Among the tebles in the bulletin is one showing that in the last year for which figures are obtainable, 1905, the aggregate of sheep in the Province was 1,324,153, and that since 1901 there had been a yearly aver- age decrease of 109,411. The Winter Garden. A new European fad has introduced the winter garden, in which tea is served, and in some of the larger cities in this country, where one meets many foreign- ers, the idea has already been adopted and seems to have met with great suc- cess. The svinter garden is not unlike a summer garden. Instead of being an outdoor enelostre it is walled. in with glass, and there are shrubs, potted plants and flowers to ornament it without giv- ing it too much the air of a conserva- tory. The furniture suggests cosiness and warmth rather than coolness, and, if one likes) a fireplace may adorn one of tho sides. In fact, the svinter garden is a den well supplied with daylight and ar- ranged with, a strict garden effect when the shaded lights are turned on. These are cleverly concealed beneeth flowers and vines. The tea table is an essential feature of the winter garden if it be- longs to the mistress of the house. Her friends delight in running in for a cup of fragrant tea, arid if the garden is large enough she gives semeinformal af- fairs within its charming *cals.—New York Herald. **.

German Engineer's Plan for Obtain- . Iry Firm Anchorage. A Dueseeldorf engineer, knowing from experience that wooden dowels for the purpose of securing screws in stone are apt to weaken the wall, and do not af- ford the deeired solidity, has devised an ingenious methoel of obtaining a firm a,nchorage. For this purpose a wire of suitable thickness is coiled on to the screw, so as to follow the threads of the same and to form a kind of screw nut. The coiling may begin near ihe head or thick end of the bolt, and pro- ceed toward the point by lying the wire into or between the threads so aS to touch the bottom of the same, the section of each screw thread being pre- ferably triangular, or trapezoidal, and the core of the screw conical (similar to a wooden screw.) After arriving at the point of the screw, the wire may be wound backward over the helix already wound on, but with a steeper pitch, so as' to leave wid- er interstices between consecutive con- volutions of the wire. After the wire has been laid on so as to form a nut, or wire coil is introduced into a hole which has been drilled or otherwise formed in the wall for this purpose, and which is slightly wider than the diame- ter of the hut measured over the out- er layer of the wire, after which the in- terstices are filled with plaster of Paris cement or similar binding material. When this has become suffieiently haat and firm, the mew bolt which has served as a core or another eerew bolt having the 'same diameter ans.1 pitch, is screwed in and out without damaging the wall, because the wire serves as a screw nut, which is secured to the stone mOratNevicilall.by the .cement or other binding BABY SMILES. One mother hapeily expressed her opinion of Baby's Own Tablets when she said '" There's a smile in every dose."' In homes where the Tablets are used there are no cross, fretful, sickly children. Tee Tablets make children well and keep them well. They cure indigestion, colic, consti- pation, dierrhoea, teething troubles and ail the other minor aihnents of childhood. They can be given with absolute safety to the new born child, for •the mother Ines the guaran- tee of a government analyst that the Tablets do not contain one particle of opiate or poisonous soothing stuff.

It was three days later before a plumber appeared, /simply because the boss .plember had 330 Men to send, and it was about them that he eked his views on the question of holidays.
