This Extraordinary Speed Attain- © ed By Nazzarro on Italian- Made Vehicle. > " " NAZZARRO, FAMOUS MOTORIST. London, June 28.~Two miles a minute ! 'This was the wonderful speed attained at the track meeting at Brooklands, and the man who at- tained it was the famous driver Naz- Zarro. The great match was between S.F. Hdge as challenger and 1 Arcy Baker as acceptor in the ninety-horsepower standard class. Mr. Kdge was hope- ful of repeating the victories achieved over 0. Cupper, his Helgian acceptor, hy the Napier six-cylinder cars in the twenty-six and forty horsepower class- es, but the sudden collapse of the Napier, through 'something going wrong. with the engines, left the match which was for #2,500, to Mr. Baker. This was a. great disappointment, as the keenest interest was evinced in the race in that it was a match between the British-made car and the Italian Fiat car. The Napier rather had the advan tage, bounding clean' away, and it im proved on the lend during the first lap, passing the members' inclosure 800 or 1,000 yards in front of the Fiat. Nazzarro, the famous driver, who was at the wheel of the ltalian car, \ re- duced - the distance hetween his car and the Napier during the second lap, hut Newton (Mr. Kdge's driver) still had & considerable lead when the rivals again got round. The third lap had barely heen com- pleted, when the Fiat appeared to shoot ahead" with an amazingly in: creased speed, but the fact was that the Napier was slowing up, and it im- mediately left 'the track. Nazzarro continued the race alone, and the timed: speed showed "that he had put his car to her best speed. Nazzarro achieved a world's record of 120 miles an hour over a distance of 2% miles, this being officially cer- tified by the Brooklands Racing Club and the secretary of the Royal Auto- mobile Club. The speed over the whole distance of 27% miles averaged 941 miles an hour. Sell Milk On Its Merits. New York Farmer. Whenever the subject of a standard" for sale of milk is serious- ly considered the decision is that there should be no state standard of butter fat or non-fat and that milk should be sold on test. No other def cision seems possible. No state stan dard, has ever prevented adulteration of milk. Indeed, the matter what it "state solids, or skimming state standard, no may be, simply sets a legal limit for the robbing of milk, II the standard calls for four per cent. of butter fat, the middldman will ingist that the producers put on high fat and low- vield vows, and the middleman will tke the five or six per cent. milk from the farmers and skim it down to the legal four per cent. standard. 'In ne case fis commited benefitted hy the standard. 1i the standard be abolish- ed, the milk may bho seld on test, and the consumer will the able to get what he deswves. Then nobody is deceived or defrauded. In the case of a pro- duct. so variable as milk, ranging from 1.9 to 12 per cent. in butter fat, a state standard 'of 2.5 or 3.5 is an absurdity.

A gruesome story is told regarding the Great MKastern steamship.' While she was building, a pay clerk, sent by one of the contractors with £1,200 ih wages for the men, is said to have disappeared. Neither he nor the money could be traced, though the police searched far and near. It was not un- naturally assumed that he had gone off «with the £1,200. His wile and family were left unprovided for, with the stigma of his supposed crime upon them. "Thirty years after her launch the Great Eastern went into /the "gemetery"' at Birkenhead, to be brok- en up, and while she was being taken to pieces the ship-breakers discovered between the inner and outing casings of steel the skeleton of a man. Papers which had fallen from his clothes en- abled his identity to be traced to the person of the pay-clerk, who, thirty years before, had disappeared. There was no money--that was never recov- ered, The supposition is that the poor fellow on going to the ship was: pounc- ed upon by workmen, who knew that he had the money with him; that they stunned him, and having a small place in the side of the vessel to com- plete, crammed his body inand built him in it. No reward would have in- duced a sailor to sail in that vessel had he known of the terrible secret sealed up in her walls. " A Grateful Son-In-Law. Washington Star, H. H.

"Very often it would happen that the cars would break away from the engine," said Mr. Hall. "Then, the engine, not being capable of making speed to catch them, the engineer would have to jump down and run after them to apply the brakes, as he could run much faster than the en- gine could speed." Although Mr. Hall has followed rail- road life since he was a boy of about fifteen he has never been in an acci- dent with loss of life, This is quite a tribute to his caution. . In the winter of 1856, however, his train ran into a 40-ton slide of rock near Hamilton when driving the Elk: The engine was wrecked, but no lives were lost. Exactly one year after Mr. Hall left London, on March 16, 1857, the ter- rible wredk occurred at Desjardins.

Admiral Kingsmill was born in Guelph 53 years ago. He is the son of the late Judge Kingsmill, who some years before his death retired from the bench and made his home in To- 'ronto. : Educated at Upper Canada College he entered the navy when 14 vy of age. He served on board late Queen Victoria's yacht and saw ac- tive service in the Egyptian war. He was commander of H. M. 8. Blenheim, on which Hon. Sir John Thompson's remains were brought to Halifax. When H.M. 8. Dominion was put into commission Commander Kings- mill brought the vessel to Quebec to receive the gift of silver plate sub- scribed for hy Canadian citizens. His promotion should be received with general satisfaction by Cana- dians. Transplanting Seals. Eastern eoast sealers ave advocating a unique scheme, which is nothing less than that the Dominion Govern- ment should secure a considerable number of fur-seals from Behring sea and transplant them to the Labrador coast. They are of the opinion that the more valuable fur-bearing seals could be successfully bred there. The success in bringing reindeer to Lab- rador for breeding purposes has en- couraged the promoters to believe that if the action sought is they may have rookeries of fur. off Labra- dor within a few years. It is said that unless something is done in the near future for the protection of fur- seals jn the North Pacific they will in a short time become extinct. There will be thirty-eight Japanese sealing vessels on these grounds this year, besides local seal hunters.
