In addition to the then Prince of Wales and his host there were four other excellent shots who in the course of three days brought down 16,800 head of game. As a feat of L_andurance alose that performance was remarkable, for close upon 18,000 eartridges myst have been fired, which ves an a of 1,000 cartridges a sive each day. Allowing that the re- coil "each cartridge exerted a force of unds, a simple calcula- tion & at the King had to with- stand. 8 force equivalent to raising tons: weight one foot, while in the task of raising the gun shoulder at least 1,500 times id almost equal in three days the orce requisite to raising nine tons one foot. As an ardent and personally in: terested spectator at races the King is well known, and as a judge cf horses he is in the first rank. Many of his entries have won at national and international races. The King himself was once a winning jockey. When stationed at Curragh Camp as Prince of Wales he rode his horse Rupee and easily won a steeplechase. At golf the King plays an excellent even game and. is n to be seen on his links at Balmoral in all sorts of bad weather, which is the test of the true golf lover. Only the other day his Majesty eagilv won in a croonet tournament. Ha is very fond of this game, as of billiards, where his quick eye enables him maka the most remarkably accurate shots. All England knows that the King's ereat interest in mo- tore and all their improvements has helped the trade in antomobiles. As a yachteman his knowledge has bee valuable to many, and his love of the sea has him take a keen inter- est in all matters pertaining to boat- ine. the building of boats, ete Of course, with increasing years, the King's sportsmanship - is less strenuous, and while preserving a great interest in the advancement of all sports he has turned somewhat to quieter things for himself. He has bécome a pigeon fancier and has a loft at Sandringham where he keeps his birds, the original ancestors of which were given him by the. King of the Belgians, Also he spends many hours at bridge. = Here he shows his sportsmanship in being an excellent md Afrasablo loser when necessary, and whila a remarkably fine player himselt, is always a very uncritical and patient partner for less skilled " Query For The C.P.R. When the Grand Trunk railway can take $20,000° out 'of Fingston for ge in one dull month, is it not worth jor the C.P.R. to improve Sk readiness for war, and we have got it. I say it because no one can have a fuller knowledge than myself about it, and I speak with the fullest sense responsibility, I turn to all of you, I turn to my countrymen and say: "Sleep quiet in your beds, and don't be disturbed by these bogey invasions which are periodically resuscitated by all sorts of leagues. "A magazine editor says in this month's number that an army of one hundred thousand Germans soldiers had been practically embarked in the Channel Fleet. You might just as well talk of embarking St. Paul's Cathedral in a penny. steamer. (Laughter) I have no doubt, that equally serious stories are current in Germany. I have no doubt that there is terror there that the English Fleet will swoop down all of a sudden and gutible up the German Fleet. (Laugh- er. "But these stories are not only silly, they are very mischievous. If Eve hadn't kept on looking at that apple she wouldn't have pic it, and we should not have been both with clothes, (Loud Inughter) day after to-morrow we are to have a real German invasion, and we will give him a hearty welcome.™ (Cheers.)

SANDSTORM IN SAHARA. Terrible Fury of the Wind Raises Stinging Cloud of Sand. What it means to encounter a sand- storm in the desert of Sahara is de- soribed by Mrs. Palmer Thomas: "Few things bring such a sense of utter powerlessness as a desert sand- storm and 1 shall never forget my experience of one. Our dragoman one day suddenly recalled our atten- tion to a darkening horizon line. 'See,' he said, 'a sandstorm comes; no man will ride in such." We had barely time to dismount and make the camels kneel in a circle on the | sand before the storm was upon us. | Each man threw his kaftah over the peaks of his saddle and crouched within the shelter it afforded and that formed by the animal's body be- hind him, while I nestled in the hol- low formed by my camel's neck and shoulder, drawing the folds of the blanketlike stuff tightly over me. The wise beast, knowing what was coming, turned her long neck right round and laid her head on my knees, seek- ing the protection of my cloak for her eyes against the sand, which, driven by the fury of the sand, which, driven face like powdered glass, "But I looked out upon the scene as long as I could, watching what appeared to be a mass of brown gauze veils streaming up across the sky, darkening the sunlight and gradually blotting out everything from our sight. An icy wind preceded the cloud, increasing in intensity every minute, until the sourid of its roaring made one's own voice inaudible, while the darkness became that of densest night. And so we sat silent in the noise and the blackness until the hurricane abated. Then looking out again 1 saw the brownish mass of cloud flying before the wind away toward the Nile, some forty miles dis- tant, and the cloudless blue of a March sky in Egypt once more over spread above us. MUST SPARE THE ROD. London Teachers Too Fond of Flog- ging Their Pupils. The education committee of the Lon- don Council has started a campai against the use of the cane in the London schools. Word has gone forth from the committee that corporal punishment must be saved for grave oral offences, and must not in- icted until other correctional meth- ods shall have been tried and f wanting.
