DENMARK AND ITS BEAUTIFUL | = CAPITAL, COPENHAGEN, Where Her Majesty Queen Alexandra i First'Saw the Light--Danes Are a | Maritime Race -- They Excel In { Politeness -- Some of Denmark's Worthies--City of Beautiful Works of Art. P The Danes call their capital Kjo- benhavn, which means the "Haven of the Merchants," and explains the origin of the only large city in the country. practically to know: Denmark, "for in probably no other country in Europe are things so centralized and concen- trated as-in the land of butter, milk, and margarine. When the King and Queen last ar rived there they found, as they so often found belore, that the Danes are a wonderfully polite people. If a man meet another one in the street, immediately doff their hats, and if you ask your way of a policeman, en- ter a restaurant, or go into a shop, the lifting of the hat is obligatory. Not to do so is to show great dis- courtesy. In walking up Bredgade, Ostergade, Nygade or Frederiksgade, your hat is in your hand continually, and it would really seem as though Danish headcoverings required a dou- ble- thickness of brim. ¢ At one end of Ostergade, where all the best shops are, is Kougens Nytory (King's New Market) a large open square of some pretension and not un- handsome architecturally. The shops in~the neighborhood seem to have three qualities of goods. The inferior is labelled "Dansk," meaning that it is of local manufacture; the intermed- iafe, "Fransk," referring to its French origin; and the best is always "Eng- elsk," which is flattering to our na- tional pride, if 'not always strictly true. ' : . The spirit and the art of Thorvald- Ben the great sculptor, pervades Copenhagen. The museum of his works is in the centre of the town, and is built in the guise of a gigantic eastern sarcophagus. - In the quad- rangle in the centfe thereof is the ivy-covered tomb, which reminds one of a similar instance at the Dulwich Gallery. Somehow, when one thinks of Denmark, the two first names that spring to one's lips are Thorvaldsen and Hans Christian Andersen, both great men in their way, but by no means Denmark's only worthies. There is Niels Gade, the great musi- cian, of world-wide rgputation; Hart- mann, who taught Qugen Alexandra music when she was a gril; Holberg and' Oehlenschlaeger, the dramatists, whose statues flank the entrance to the National Theatre at the corner of Kongens Nytory; then, to go further back, there was Tycho Brahe, the as- tronomer, on 'his little island in the Sound, and Niels Juel, who was bur- fed 200 years ago in Holmen's Kirke The real old Dapish hero, a kind of national saint™in his way, is Peder Vessel, called ""Tordenskjold," (Thun- dershield), who from a cabin-boy rais- ed "himself to admiral, and whose name is still used to frighten naughty little girls and boys. At the very beginning of Lange- linie, the most charming promenade in Copenhagen, is St. Alban's Church, the place of worship of the English community. It is a very pretty little Gothic building, designed by Blom- field, with a good spire; it was built largely through the initiative of Queen Alexandra. The royal palaces are sides of a quadrangle; two of them are connected by corridors. It is not a beautiful building, but serviceable, fairly roomy, and, in a heavy waw rather impos The former royal palace of Christiansborg was burned down in 1884, and its blackened, ruin- ed walls still stand as a perpetual eyesore All Copenhagen, round four which is tanta- mount to saying all Denmark, visits: the Tivoli gardens as often as pos- sible.

When he was in Copenhagen he rode every anorning for an hour in the royal riding-school, and any one might go in and watch the old gen- tleman ambling round on & biy white horse; he courteously acknowledged the bows of visitors, and when \his hour of was up, he nimbiy dismounted, threw the reins to a groom, and lighting a large cigar, walked off to the palace. He often wandered about the streets, not after the Haroun el Raschid manner, but openly andl recognized by all, nod- ding to the officials, bowing te: his friends, and smiling at all the little children A few miles outside on the Sound, is Helsingor, known to us, by the courtesy of William Shakespeare, as.

This is net a recipe from "Alice in Wonderland," but the composition of a substitute for leather, invented by Among the Esquimaux. Dr. James F.

Fourteen years ago Mr. Campbell began 'experiments with old rubber, but these he discarded some time ago, and now he has perfected and patent- ed a substance which, in a fluid, pli- able op hard state can be used for a very large 'variety of purposes. : From seaweed, carpet dust, goats'! hair, Trish moss, gums and a chemieal | process which 'is his -secret, Mr. Campbell has already made the fol- lowing astonishing list of commodi- ties: Policemen's boots and heels), picture. frames, ornamental mouldings (for railway carriages), par- titions (to resemble wood), belting (for machinery), upholstery, bobbins (for cotton spinning), electric * switeh- boards, flooring; golf balls, fountain pens, "marble," in all color boards, bookbindings and combs. 5 A reporter recently visited the lab- oratory, which will shortly give place to a factory, and examined many of the samples. Mr. Campbell makes no startling claims for his invention, and admits that his composite is not equal to materials of the highest quality, but Be says that in the case of leath- er, for instance, it provides an excel- i (outer soles | chess- | within the Arctic Circle. After serv- ing eight years as medical officer at the Carthusian Monastery in Sussex, . Rymer went to Canada, and for the past six months has lived at Ed- monton, Alberta. A few day) ago he left there on a lonely journey miles along the Athabasca and \Mac- kénzie rivers, his destiration being Fort Good Hope, which is about 100 miles "within the Arctic Circle. He has sufficient medicine in concentrat- ed forms to last a year, and has ar- ranged for more to be forwarded later, His clients for medical and surgical treatment will be the Indians 'and Esquimaux in the vicinity of Fort Good Hope and Forf Macpherson. Several forms of disease and fevers often break out among these natives, and as they have had no skilled at- tention in the past the loss of life has been enormous. Dr. Rymer will en- | deavor to persuade them to better obey the laws of health, and will care for them when sick. He can speak French, which is the only lan- guage other than their own that the Indians understand, and intends at once studying the language of In- dians and Esquimaux as soon as he arrives.

What the Officer Saw. A certain regiment was on the march from Dover to Aldershot. It was the rule to march by companies, with a few minutes' interval between each, and to keep each other in sight, the band and drums leading off at a good pace.and not taking ice of the regulation halt, the band soon got a long way ahead { of the others. On reaching a bend in one of the hills they halted for a - fey minutes to have a rest. Presently up galloped a mounted officer in hot haste 'and shouted for the band ser- geant * "What do you mean," -he sajd, "by | getting out of sight of the leading company? "We were not out of "sight, sir" { answered the sergeant "What do you mean. by felling me that?" exclaimed the officer, in a rage. "You were out of sight. I saw you myself."

T. STEAD PROPHESIES RE. TURN OF CUIRASSES. Recent Discovery of Composition That Will Resist Rifle Fire Which Is (Being Tested by the French Government Promises to Revolu- tionize .Warfare--Ils Lighter Than Stes! and Is Cheap. : : Mr. W. T. Btead describes in The Loudon Daily Chronicle of a recent date a new invention that should get a firm hold in northern Ontario dur- ihg the deer-hunting season. He says: A very sensational discovery is reported from France. In a re- cent number of "La France Mili- taire," under the heading of new cav- alry, cuirasses, it is announced that the movement in favor of abolishing the lingering remnant of armor still in use in modefn armies has received a sudden cheek by the discovery of an unnamed inventor, whose ingen- uity promises the restore armor to the place which is formerly occupied in warfare. Ee Every schoolboy knows, to borfow Macaulay's familiar jest, that the practice of erraying fighting men in coats of armor, which had culminat- ed in the "fifteenth century BY-cover- ing' both horse and rider with armor, received what was believed to be its deathblow by the general introduction of gunpowder. Coats of mail which turned arrows were easily pierced by musket balls, and although the prac- tice of covering the breast with iron plates lingered through the seven- teenth, and = eighteenth centuries, it was recognized as an anachronism' by all military authorities, At orésent the showy cuirass which Yingers in the British army is purely spectacular, a showy ingredient of the circus side of warfare. Soldiers con- stantly assert that cuirasses will nev- er be used again in actual fighting. They weigh seven or eight pounds, they cost £2 or £3, and they are not even proof against a revolver bullet, while, as agairet modern rifles, they might as well be made of 'brown pa- per. Hence, as La France Militaire tells us, there was a strong movement in the French army in favor of abol- ishing cuirasses both for cuirassiers and dragoons. But General de Galli- fet offered strong resistance ,to this revolutionary reform, and -the ecuir- ass was saved. .It is doubtful wheth- er even General de Gallifet would have been able to have arrested the abolition of the cuirass had it not bef for the discovery to which I have already referred, . This was a discovery rather than an invention. Although its precise nature is still buried in mystery, enough is known to give rise to very interes®ng speculations as to whe- ther, instead of getting rid of armor altogether, we are not destined in the next few years 10 Sg the re- appearance of mail-efad men in the ranks of war. The French Govern- ment has for some months past been making an exhaustive series of ex- periments as to the value of the new composifion, and it is interesting to hear they have practically decided that the inventor has made good his claims, and that in the warfare of the future this new kind of armor is des- tined to play a very important part. This is not surprising if the claims of the inventor are really substan- tiated. It is asserted that the new I +4E DAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1908, pd ives orto.

Before ven- turing to deal with the eye, Mr. Scott injected into the left foreleg a solu- tion of morphia, which, although de- signed for his benefit, Nero objected to with all the command left in him. In a minute or so he had dozed off sufficiently to enable Mr. Scoft to in- sert the glass eye into the empty soc- ket. Having been photographed with his new optic, Nero was at once freed from his coils, but, before there was time to say "Jack Robinson," Nero, with a sort of vigorous wink, ejected the eve on to the floor, and an merrily pacing his cage as if nothing had happened. After a moment's dis- may, even Mr. Bostock and th# doe- tor had to laugh at what the police- man, called a "fair knock-out." It should be explained that, as is usual | in fitting artificial eyes, that used for | Nero was not full-sized, the intention being to replace it with a larger one after a week or so in the usual way.

Sir Charles: Henry Brownlow, G.C.B., Ipdian army, has been ap- pointed field-marshal, and thus joins a very select band. The new field- marshal is in his 78th year, and is a 000000000000 son of the late Col. G. A. Brownlow, brother of the first Lord Lurgan. Join- | ing the army in 1847, nearly the whole | of his military service was spent in | India, and he took part in a. great | many campaigns on the frontier, His | first experience of war was in 1848-49, | when he went through the Punjab | campaign. Between 1852 and 1868 he | served with the Hazara, Mohmand, | Bozdar, and Eusofzai expedition, and | was severely wounded in the Moh- mand affair in 18564. The gallant offi- | cer served in the China war of 1860, and on his return to India took part | in 'several more frontier campaigns, | viz., the Ambeyla expedition of 1863, | and in the Hazara expedition of 1868, | In 1871-72 he was appointed briga- | dier-general, and commanded an ex- | edition to the Looshai country. Gen. | Be who had received pamer- | { ous medals and clasps, and was fre- | #naterial possesses four or" five times as much resistance as chilled "steel; that it is practically invulnerable to rifle bullets; that it does not weigh any more than the existing cuirass; | that it can be manufattured at half the price, and even if it should be pierced it can be made as good as new almost, without any expenditure of time of material. Such assertions, incredible though they may appear, I | have reason to believe, are well with- in the facts. I have myself witnessed experi- ments which go to prove that the soldier provided with this new armor can expose himself to the fire of mod- ern rifles, at a distance of 100 yards, | and suffer as little from their fire | as if he were being assailed by pea- ! shooters. This is true, not merely of | the bullets which are at prhsent used | by the armies of the world, -but even | of the new bullet with which all Gov- | ernments are furnishing themselves | in hot haste. The new bullet that | has not wet been issued. for use in | actual" warfarey is largely' composed of | steel, and its sharp point tears its | way through iron and steel, against | which the ordinary. surface bullet, | beats in vain. The regiment arrayed in the armor of proof, and marching up to within 100 yards of the enemy; suffers no more damage from a mit- raille .of steel bullets than if it were marching through an ordinary hail- storm. The Man Who Owns- Cardiff. The Marquis of Bute, who recently celebrated his 27th birthday, is not only the richest Catholic in the coun try, but one of the. wealthiest of King Edward's subjects. He practically owns Cardiff, anl is the possessor of half a score of the finest old titles of England and Scotland, to say no« thing of five or six seats of: consider. able comfort, One of these--Mount- stuart -- ig an immense pile of buildings, covering an acre of ground, which cost his father £600,000 to erect.

He gives very largely to the Church, and his tenants. and others are lof in his praises. * Boot Brushes For School. In Bradford education has advane- ed another stage.
