It is just piece of rock, ,certainly no more than four miles 1square; and yet on it at certain sea - :sons of the year are no less than 5,- 1+Q00,000 birds. b Although the penguin spends more -than hall of each year on islands, his -natural element irs the sea. He can- ' _not walk with, any elegancy or con- • wenience, nor can he fly; .but he can :ewirn almost as (swiftly as a shark. When he is not visiting an island he 'lives far out at sea, somewhere in -the Southern Ocean. There he seeks -the fish which is his only diet --a '-variety of small sardine, peculiarly :rich in oil, He has a special swim- -ming costume of his' own. This in- -clucks an arrangement by which . a "transparent film comes over his eyes • the rnoni+ent he goes under water, and •.another systenn to protect his ears- -oil being exuded from them and turn- ing the adjacent .feathers into 'a wa- -ter-proof covering. He, is provided -with a little bag• in tleenide of his --throat; when he wants to submerge 'ie fills the bag and down he goes. In February and again in Septem. "Aber the birds will feed the call to -mate. During the next sit or eight -weeks, millions of them with one ac- .rord make for the island which, al- though not their most natural home, 'is, nevertheless, their birthplace. Ev- eery patch of earthy ground, every ov- erhanging rock is made use of. With -their feet and their flippers they grad- eially dig a sloping tunnel, se that -they have in effect an open front gar- -den and a roofed house. • When they arrive on the beach for -their spring holiday, 'father a n d :another, after a,little chat with' their .friends, go straight to the apartments -which they have occupiedin previous eaz+s. +But there are sons and daugh- ••tern who want to set up on their own. "'Young Master Penguin. wanders -tbrough the crowd, eyes,to right and +eyes) to left, until he stops; puts his dread a little on one side, says to himself no doubt: "Ah, that's a good looking girl over there," and goes off .quickly taut not so quickly as to look -undignified, in her direction., • The young thing on whom he has •cast his eyes discreetly •gree ss herself :and then (becomes absorbed in the ..scenes immediately around her—tak- ing no notice of her admirer. He walks round in a circle so that the -.object of his growing affection May :'leave every opportunity of noticing. Finally, she looks up at Master Pen- .guin and having long ago made up her mind that he would do she, tilts her head on one side, and a few min- utes later they "walk out" together to the nearest nesting ground. Far sev- erai days the young swain has to show off. At last the fateful moment ar- :rives, and the two lovers kiss. I mean that suite literally. The beaks touch, :.and with'necks outstretched and heads well up in- the air, the birds rub their (beaks against each other with a click- ing noise.

He does not confine his love- making to . tie:. time of wooing, but continues ie right through his per- iled life. Thereare a great many things which we have in common with the penguins ,but in our lives there is no equivalent of the period devoted to moulting. 'A :penguin has grad warn- ing of what is coming; but neverthe- less he rettempts to live his normal life. He goesdeem to the sea, rides over the firsts wages, goes through motions of divin'g;. But nothing hap- pens! . He is forced to accept the fact that the has lost his power to sub- merge. Ile is buoyed up by his loose feathers] which have ' the effect of making him float exactly like a cork. Remember that the penguin invariab- ly catches his food under water. Un- til the power of diving returns, he must endure completestarvation. But after, (six or seven (weeks, the penguins in a 'measure recover their health and find themselves resplend- ent in an enti °rely new outfit. As soon as they begin to feel perkier, they go straight down to the sea. Very likely they are still not in a sufficient- ly goo condition to be easily able to dive, but the cure for excessive buoy- ancy is to take in ballast. Accord- ingly these birds, at the end 0. the moulting (period, . solee their difficul- ties by swallowing stories! As soon as they are finally satisfied that.under water swimming has again become possible, they start for the fishing grounds. There they will stay until the breeding season starts again when each with his mate will come once more to the island. Penguins by , nature are .supreme models in married life. And yet, now and then,' things go wrong. For in- stance, at One nesting -hole, I. fre- quently saw two birds squabbling, and t began to look 'fee definite trouble in the family circle. Sure enough, one afternoon the storm burst. Mr. ,Pen- guin came waddling up the slope on his way back from dinner, and stop- ped aghast. His. wife was not alone! For a minute or two he could not believe it. Then he went for the in- truder, and fought him beak and'• flipper. After a minute the intruder side-stepped, and Mrs. Penguin fourl'd herself meeting the attack. She in turn fought gallantly, until her par- amour attacked . Mr, Penguin's un- guarded rear. Now and again the combatants, verw much disheveled, would separate for a breather;, then back they would come. But as I *etched, an important. change took place. Mrs. Penguin was no longer definitely on the side of the despoiler of homes. .She was not, for that mat- ter, on anybody's side, and I am in- clined to think that so much strenu- ous fighting had rendered her irres- ponsibllae. But as the afternoon wan- ed there was no longer doubt that she d been won to her husband's side. She was fighting cooly now, placing her blows where they were they were Most effective, always on the less pro- tected parts of her late lovers body. And that. •gentleman was showing that he had had enough --.which, after six hours, was not .surprising. As the day closed he failed to came back for what must have been about the 92nd round'. He just slipped_ away, limping badly, toward the sea. When, later, .I went back, Mr. and Mrs. Pen. guin were lying in their nests, heads against each other, all the past' appar- ently forgiven and forgotten. From that episode I ipust pass to one of tragedy. A, short distance from my tent, two penguins nested under a stone roof which one day can lapsed, It fell, by an evil fate, at a time "when the home was occupied by one of the pair. And there I found her mangled body. I took a spade and dig a grave, wondering as I did so (what the husband would think when he returned. The burial finish- ed, `I " looked up and saw a penguin sitting close, by, intently watching the remains of the nest and the new grave. That bereaved bird •remained on the spot for the next six days, watching the wreck of his home and waiting, . I cannot doubt, for the re- turn of his mate. Then signs of gtar- vation appeared and at last, at the end of the sitth day, he went slowly down to the sea. But even then hope was not dead; for two days later he reappeared and stayed beside the grave for five more days.

And when we. caught our first glimpse of the ship, moored to a buoy well out from shore, the stories ofeits' vastness seemed a little extravagant.' In all the rvrag}e im- mensity of the bay and the sky, it was a light thing, and not spectacu- larly great. Then we stepped into a tender and moved out across the water to the ship. Now, lying there in: the water, i4 had all the ponderous stolidity of an ocean liner. The small waves beat against it with futile: buffeting, and it eevayed no more than a concrete pier. From nose to tail, the side wall was a long, smooth curve, brok- en` at precise intervals by round .port- holes from which the'heads of sea- men peered down. A man; daving to us from the engine bridge, seemed very' far away and small, and his i nice carne thinly. The wing, e .fiat silver. expanse 20 feet' above us, was like the roof of some factory build- ing; lifted off to sere a new, fantas- tic purpose. Inside, the main passenger cabin was 80 feet long and 12 feet 'wide, and its ceiling was sec and a half feet from the floor. At intervals, half partitions divided the cabin into small compartments. These were not private, for the wide aisle ran clear through. There was a confusion—while the 72 of us were getting settled—like the confusion in the lounge of an oc- ean liner nvhen it is about to sail. People were laughing ,and talking, and friends were losing each other in the long, restless aisle. And stewards with short white jackets and jaunty caps were, moving about with offers of help in getting settled. The captain evas•'forward, near the kitchen with its display of gleaming electric cooking -plates. At last ' he signaled for the door to be shut. Leaning back on our cushions we heard an engine start up, far away. 'hen 'another hummed distantly, and we were moving along the water. These signs of a mechanicalagent in Mir craft were as remote as the en: gine-room of the Aquitania tQ one chatting in the lounge. Clarence Schildhauer, the American co-pilot of the ship, sat down for a moment to talk about it. '`Here ,are seventeen ' in the crew," he said, " and so we' are, getting off with $9 people, •altogether—a record for the United States. Even the diri- gibles never carried so many. We got aloft with 169 passengers in Switt- zerland once, but we had reduced the fuel• toad. The ship is really de- signed t� carry a hundred, comfort- ably, ip addition to the crew—with fuel enough for a seven:hour jour ney.'w We heard, suddenly, the boom of the, engines as all be of them were set full open.. More than 7,40 horse- power was pouring • from their pro- pelllers now, and the water below us was churned to milky( white. Then, in something less than a minute, with a little tremoling• bump, the hull lift- ed clear of the water, and we were moving in free air. The .00-X climbed very steeply and very rapidly; with the engines moan- ing like the continuous song of a single 'cello note. But it was not noisy iii the cabin. We talked in cones only slightly raised above the ordinary, and there was no vibration at all. Schildhauer said: "The ship cost $450,000 to\ build. It burns 4u0 -gal- lons of gasoline an hour. 'When we're fully loaded, the total weight of ship. and load is 53 tons. "The pilot isn't the most important fellow aboard, as he is on other air- planes.

The trap door •sell back again, and I had moyed inta a world fantastically different from thgeldle, lounging world of the passenger lounge below.. I was in the chertroom, just aft the pilot's cockpit. There were two tab co ' • A type of penguin that appears to aim at making the island a 'brighter placeis the conceited dandy who thinks that his mere presence must be a delight to all beholders. One of these creatures we christened "Price- less Percy." But although bis. self- satisfaction appeared to lirovi'de him with constant joy, it certainly did not give an ecual amount of delight to his wife. •She made no attempt to 'hide her boredom lying ot+er the eggs in her nest with her back towards her husband and his group of (-admiring satellites. Priceless Percy stood only a few ,yards from his home,.exhibiting his sendor, putting his head now on one side and now •on.the other, throw- ing out his chest, waddling to and fro, turning and twistin.' his body in- to most grotesque shapes. And all the time, on one side his faithful ad- herents glowed their appreciation, while on the other side hie wife em- phasized her contempt by refusing to take the slightest notice of him. But suddenly r self-control snapped. She got up, rushed at her husband, caught m 'by the neck and gave him then hiding he thoroughly deserved 1 Thenebment he got free he rushed •ofrater hard ae he could—all swank, for dile time being, knocked' out of him ' It is characteristic of animals that they do not like to be laughed, at. I ain ine„Iined to think that penguins. may be the one exception to this rule. Laugh at them—and who, after all, canehelp .it?—and they will put, their heath on she side and consider you, and will 'eventual'ly appear to decide that you are honoring them: that these grimaces represent your way of showing admiration of their intern - s, with' clocks and instruments ntersunk 'into their surfaces, and cdveretl with charts of the New York waters. Two men bent silently over the .charts. The 12 engines were working just . overhead an{1 only the loudest. shouting could be heard. The captain ledne•d against a metal girder, glancing now and then at his wrist- watch. The pilot' sat a few away in a broad, deep chair, with an immense wheel in his hands. His cockpit was enclosed with windows, and his visi- bility forward and to the sides was perfect. . The engineer touched my arm. He was an American, for the 12 engines are of American manufacture. I fol- lowed him through the chartroom in- to the, engine room. We were now within the hollow body of the wing itself. 'The sight was stunning. There were three or four assistant engineers in the room. Their eyes But it takes a man with set experi- gleamed with the faces of instruments on which needles quivered perpetual- ly.

For mbrea, than an hour I watched the monstrous machine at work. In the roar of the engines, the dozen silent figures went about their busi- ness. An American naval pilot climb- ed up the ladder`, and flew the ship for 20 minutes, and yelled in my ear that it handled easier than a pursuit ship. Here was giant power bent to the wish of man soar as birds soar. Here was the very key to German efficiency and German cunning with, the "'ma- chine. ]'sere, above all, was an end to the fragility of flying machines. The engines roared with utter. cer- tainty.

This was the ship the Prince of ,Vales flew. It was the ship that burned, once, in a harbor thousands' of miles away. It was the ship that flew a 'long, torturous journey across the At- lantic, and on which 17 men of varied souls and varied temperaments have lived their lives for months. Yarns spring up in the quarters of its crew. The romantic problems of sea and 'air are met in its navigating room. • We came in for a' •duiet, unexciting landing.

And as we•drew away she lay there, motion- less and enormous, testimony to an incalculable human ingenuity. w5 ious for the redemption of the world. Undoubtedly the greatest, evangelist ever seen on this continent was Dwight L. Moody. He reached. the masses as no other man ever did in modern times,' and one no more doubted his sincerity than his power. He was fervid, emotional, passionate, but he never resorted to mere monkey shines, and the work he did lives after him in sarong and thriv- ing religious educational institutions. One of the most useful features of Moodys evangel was that he was not content to move his audiencesto frenzy and vows of 'a better life. He card indexed his converts and •his workers would call upon them and see that they did not backslide, and help toe make permanent gains of Moody's emotional inroads. The. great sums of money Moody collected were spent in the furtherance eneb,is own work or given to the Y.M.C. His '-life was free from scandal, 'and while many disliked his methods, he was held in general esteem as an acknowl- edged pdwer for good. Our own experience of revivalists does not 'extend to Mr. Moody. In our youth the two most renowned evangelists who were wont to visit Toronto were Sam Jones and Sam Small. One of them, which we do not remember, seemed to be a .per- scmal enemy •of the demon fum, but later stdi'ies got about that he had succumbed to it. As we say, we do not 'like doing ope of these holy men an injustice Ely mentioning ; the wrong name as the victim of the re- grettable lapse. So to be on the safe side we will say that they were both laid low. But we remember being profoundly moved by the eloquence of these exhorters, and 'take this op- portunity of saying that between them they altered the whole ,course of our future career. By the time Torrey and Alexander came among us we were pretty well inured to the arts of the exhorters, and they could not exhibit our scalp among their cloudy„ trophies hung." But we did nearly surrender to the oratory of Gypsy Smith.. Out of a considerable experience of orators 'we say frankly that he was the most moving speaker er listened to. Tha • the secret of tile• orator's gift, and it 1 ' mething akin to the secret of poetry too. We only re - Member hearing one other mean who took such ceennand of an audience as Gypsy Smith. That was.old Gen- eral Booth. When we heard him he was an old white-haired, hatchet- faced man, with no hint of benevo- lence about him. But he held hie vast audience in his skinny, upraised hand. Not only did it laugh and cry as he desired it; it seemed literally to breathe and held its breath as he de- sired. He was hailed as a man of God, but he might well have been a man of wrath. Certainly he was a an of power afid iron will. We heard Billy Sunday once and wettt Modern Revivalists • Find Going Tough Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton— and by the "way it was hard enough to remember whether she spelt her name (Mc or Mac without the further complication of a third marriage— does not seem to be making great headway with her revival in Boston. Vast audiences are not being drawn to 'hear her, and many who do attend are attracted through curiosity. In fact, the cultuf'e of Massachusetts is vastly different ,front that of Cali- fornia. But IVIr. Gilbert 'Seldes, a con- noisseur on such matters, is of the opinion . that revivalism generally has coine to the end of the road. ' Its great days, in the United States and Canada at least,. ,belonged to the past century. Then it did actuailly and powerfully affect the thought and feel- ing of the time. To -day people are more inclined to regard such phen- omena as Aimee and Billy 'Sunday a freaks, however honest they may be in their ,professions and. however anx- m away saddened and • disgusted. His arts were altogether too obvious. To- ward the close of his service he did manage to get his audience worked up to a certain pitch of enthusiasms, but until then he reminded .us of nothing so much as a foufth rate actor storm- ing and raving in a theatre only half filled, • and rapidly• becoming empty. He made about the same impression 'upon • us es Eddie Cantor did, and as in this, lack of knowledge, for a real intimacy with the subject requires months or even years of study and practice, and 'it would' take ,much more than a• few,. hundred words to . cover it. But the following elemen- tary remarks may clear the haze ae little. Most people do not understand that money is neecommodity, the same .. as clipper, coal or wheat; It is bought entertainers we hesitate to award the and sold, is used for varipus •pur- palm between them. poses, and has different values in Mr• Seldes names Charles Grandi- son Finney as one of the greatest of all revivalists,, ]Such was his effect epos his hearers that they fell to the graund. He called them the slain, and they writhed and moaned until he held out' to them some slight prospect of becoming the ransomed. Lyman Beecher and Asahel Nettleton were his contemporaries and revivals, the former being bitterly( opposed to Finney's invasion •of New England, which territory he had spiritually pre-empted. James Boyle was an- other' old-timer who could drive sinners to''' their knees in prayer or pt'ostrate on their faces in terror. Littlejohn was a man of mysterious power, and was almost illiterate. Of to -day's revivalists it is said that Stanley Jones in India is doing won- derful work, while there is a Japanese named Kagawa whose , immediate object is the Christianizing of a mil - nn of his country men. But tastes ave changed since the great days of Moody. People are not so greatly pre -occupied with their souls' salva- tion. Probably their consciences do not greatly trouble them. Hence Bos- ton's ldkewarm reception of the re- nowned and beaming Aimee. different places. There are differ- ent kinds of it, and each kind is only used in the place where it is known and considered good; in the same way that silk or cotton or wheat, is only usew,where it is known to be of value. • Vahhen money of one kind, in this , case pounds, is sent to some etcher place where it is not used, i.e. Can- ada, it must be exchanged for some other commodity (before it can be of tiny arse to the person, neseiving it, and that commodity will most, likely be Canadian money. • It could be wheat or coal, if the owner could findu a dealer who wanted some pounds, but that is a lot of 'trouble and the' usual thing is to sell 'it.for dollars, because there are plenty of dealers in dollars, i.e. the 'banks, who will buy' pounds. The price . . they will pay for them changes from day to day, even as -the price of wheat 'or `butter changes; and de- pends likewise on supply and, de- • mind. The' way these changes bake place need not be 'toughed here, for they would fill a whole article. What has happened . in the last week, then, _is that the • price., of pounds has . gone down, or from an English standpoint, the price' of 'the. dollar hare gone up. Therelady, who has ordinarily received $24 worth of • English money; has this month •only been sent $19.5 Oworth. No ono got the missing pound, for she got five, but each of them was of less value - than ordinarily. I s(he were in the habit of receieing two togs of coal each month, and one mofethb got . a. shipirnent with 800 pounds of elate in it, she( would be in art exactly similar position.. She has gotten something ' of less value than before. Strange, Mystery Of The Missing Pound (By E. W. Edge in The 'Monetary Times.)
