He stated also, ¢hat before anythipg eould be done to accomplish { this much desired end, a motor suf. iciently powerful and yet sufficiently ght would 'be required,"and in many {w.ys he forecasted tha present day internal combustion otor. How truly his prophesies havé come true, is familiar te everyone. : In IB7?Ta French-Canadian inven- tor in Quebee, by the name of Perron, made some experiments in aerotech. nics, consisting of flights with gliders. What particularly distinguished the efforts of this man was tle excellent workinanship which has come to be sary factor in the econ- struction of aeroplanes to-day. It is recordeéd that this inventor incurred the displeasure of somé of his devout neighBers, because they thought he was endeavoring to prove false an old French-Canadian age, that "pigs might fly," which was employed to urge the impossibility of a useless undertaking, He, however, ultimate. ly gave up his experiments, partly on acgounmt of the opposition of his friend8, who thought. that 'he was making an effort to [bre into the realm of the oegult, and partly, per- haps, because he was compelled to discontinue his efforts more from the nedbsdity of an efficient motor which did not,exist in his day. It is stated, ugll it has been od of the future of the aeroplane, and, like his cltrgyman predecessor, in the same fifld of endeavor, prophesied that power driven air craft would be a common Mght within fifty years. No further effort of any importance to conquer the domain of the air was made in Canada until. within the last ten years. Away back in 1908, which is, indeed, ancient listory in the dev®lepment of the aeroplane, a sdliety, which was known as thie Aenerican Aeronautfeal Association, was formed "which had for its object aero-technical experi. mentation. The organizer of this society was Br. Alexander Graham Bell, 'the inventor of she telephone. Now Pr. Bell was by no means a young 'man, 'whert he undertook this w work, and it was pecessary for hin te gather about him men young- er in years and posseesed ¢ adequate practical and teshnical knowledge. The smembers of this society, which has long eimce been dissolved, have each becdme famous by their indi- vidual! éxploits in the aviation world Two Candllians were J. D. McCurdy and J. A. Baldwin. With a sound' scientific mind like Dr. Bell's, who was a master, not {only of the technical aspect of aero idyn os, but also a practical scien. tist to guide these two young men, it is no Wonder that the researches which 'were made "at Dr. Bell's sum- mer red nce « at - eck, Nova Scotia, C Breton) shoufl have borne such excellent fruit subsequ- ently. : A whole summer was passed and many thousand dollars were spent in the constpiiction of acroplapes, ac. cording to plans which were work- ed out bysthe members of the Associa- tibn.

The ob- '| ject of my journey was scientific, and the expedition was my own venture. "In the main, the chief difficulties were due to the absence of roads and i the fact that I could obtain no help Prom anyone, as all tried to dissuade i me from proceeding.

It needs ong merves and a stronger consti- tution thoroughly to enter into the spirit of ancient times. © 3 eight o'clock the town erier, in grey and scarlet, with brass buttons, comes out of the town hall and blows three notes on the ancient horn given by John o' Gaunt. and that is the signal for two tufti-men -to emerge from the constable's house with staves tipped with flowers--dafiodils, prim. roses, and tdlips, surmounted by an orange. ' It is their business to go forth and kiss the damsels of the town, irrespec- tive of 'age or beauty, #:cording to custom. Mr. James Blake and Mr. Anthony Bowsher were the toiti-men last Hocken" Tuesday. Mr. Blake is sixty years old, Mr. Bowsher is younger but "both of them kissed vigorously from eight o'clock until seven in the evening, with a break for dinner. Tradition decrees that they shall be liberal with oranges and pennies. Therefore, having kissed a maid, they gave her an orange as a solace, And they hurled oranges among the crowd of urchins who. followed them about all day. It was a perfect orgy of kissing. They knocked at doors, and little, high-pitched shrieks floated out into the street, showing how nobly the tutti-men were doing their duty. They went to the workhouse and kissed all the old ladies, including Ani Benson, who is ninety-nine years old; they went to the laundry, with their floral staves. Up from house to house, kissing, kissing, until, at the time of the sunset there were no mere left to kiss. They wanted to start again, but that is againaf the ancient laws. Meanwhile, during these goings-on, the Hock-Tide Court. had: been sit- ting, doing the serious business of the year, appointing a constable, a portreeve, an ale-taster, and what not, and at the end the entire court ad- journed to the Three Stars for church- warden pipes" and bowls of smoking punch. Everyone agréed that "they were good old times." A Deathbed Marriage. . Tt is recorded that tle tenth Lord Mary, daughter of J. Milner, of Stain- drop, Durham, but died the day after the wedding. A romantic story is associated with this statement. Mary Milner was a beautiful girl of humble birth. The earl went through a false form of marriage with her, but she lived with him as his wife in all in- nocence, their only son being sent to Eton as Lord Glamis. On his death- bed the earl confessed that he had acted dishoporably, but said he would now marry her. : The injured woman would have no more secret weddings; and, ill as the earl was, he was carried to church, and their marriage took place before all who could be summoned to attend the ceremony. Lord Strathmore pass. ed away next day, and though he could not legitimize his son, the worthy" and much-respected gentle- man, Mr. John Bowes, who died a few years ago, he made the mother Countess of Strathmore. Subsequently Lady Strathmore mar- ried her son's tutor, Mr. William Hutt, who becamé, through-her wealth and influence, member for Gateshead, and eventually a K.C,B. Unique Collections. Collectors gather together articles more or less interesting, but probably few go in for such bulky objects as those chosen by a distinguished Brit- isher. Old doors are the object of his desire. His doors come from old houses, castles, and abbeys of histori- cal interest. Bome time ago he ob- tained, at considerable cost, a door through which, during the French re- volution, Marie Antoinette, Charlotte Corday, Danton, and Robespierre pass- ed on their way to the guillotine. Probably nobody of today has a strong desire to bring together a great variety of teas and snuffs. Lord Pet ersham, however, a noted man in his day, had a hobby for acquiring var- ious kinds of tea and snuff. All round his sitting-room were shelves, on the one side laden with canisters of Sou- chong, Bohea, Congou, Pekoe, Rus- sian, and other teas, and on the other with hamdsome jars. containing every kind of snuff that the collector could lay his hands on.

Of the adventures of Lord Roberts as a "City man™ there are still many old stagers who can talk. re Was nothing spéctacular about the at soldier's operations, and his ces wee as modest as his capital. Noth- ing of a wild-cat nature entered into the generals schemes, as may well be imagined, but it was not long be. fore the financier discovered that his genius py not in the direction of fin: ancial operations, and soom, like Kip- ling's veteran, he was 'back to the army again. 1 As to Lord Kitchener's financial much question | ability, "there was amofig the stock rs of the City of London, who, on his visit to them in 1888 to urge a subscription to his college at , were more than once astounded by his intimate ac- uaintance with the mysteries of the "market" and his knowledge of good and likely "futures." Though by no means a stock gambler, it is said the grant of $400,000 made him by Parlia- ment has been trebled owing to lucky . investments in "moving" markets. In 1902 the late Lord Salisbury de- clared that Kitchener possessed all those qualities. which were dedirable in an efficient Chancellor of "the Ex- chequer, and it is certain that no' business concern will lose by his inter. vention in the councils that direct its policy. , Perheps the most successful of mod- ern soldiers, however, was the late Marshal MacMahon, Dyke of Magen- ta. Before the Second Empire Mac- Mahon, who was of ®rish descent, was one of the poorest of French officers. Possessed of "inside information," however, on the eve of the Presiden- tial coup of 1848 he ventured his all on thé Bourse, and came out a big winner. He died worth nearly three millions sterling of English money, and wealth alone gondoned the lack of ancestry in hisson when the lat. ter allied himself in the 'nineties with a daughter of the Royal Due d'Au- male. Other French soldiers of "dis. tinction have won vast fortunes in apecalative enterprises---the great Mar- shal 'Massena, for one example, who died ip 1817 worth several millions sterling, a large amount of it made in Bourse speculations, A Wonderful Feat. One of the most remarkable feats ever performed by a diver is related y the crew of the British sloopsi- war, Shearwater. J. P. Lingen, a younig English shipwright, boarded up the propeller well while the vessel was rolling in heavy seas, and mo enabled her to make the voyage to port. The Shearwater was cruising off the coast of Mexico when, in a storm, she lost her propeller. Resort was immediately had to the sails, but it was found that steering was almost impossible, because the big arch, or well, under the stern, in which the propeller had revolved, ineffective. The officers decided that if they were to bring the ship to port, this well must be boarded up. Lingen was sent down to do thé work. Though hampered by the heavy diving suit and by the weight of watet, he was able to adjust himself to the bad roll- ing of the ship and handle the heavy timbers passed to him. He fastened the boards so securely that they could only be shifted in one place when the Shearwater reached port, even though she had been bajtered by heavy seas on the way. Navel men give high praise to the young man, and a 8pecial report has been sent to the British Admiralty. A special trial to the nerves of the diver while he was at work was the presence of sharks, which at times came close to him, Armed men on the warship, however. kept them from attacking im. The Devon "Tongue." Lord Aldenham, at the annual din- per of the Devonians in Londen, ob- served that things changed even in Devon.' A few years ago the squires of Devon used to speak in the beauti- ful "tongue" of the county, bul now it was almost impossible to tell to what county a man belonged. Sir Jno. W. Spear said he wondered what London would do without Devonians. There was hardly a Ministerial, pro- fessional, or literary movement in the City of London, and, indeed, in the world, in which Devonians did not take a prominent part. Smoking Hemp. "One of the curses of the natives of central Africs," said a Scottish mis- sionary, Mr. Crawlord, "is smoki hemp. It is' worse than opium. know a case where a native tied his wife up in a parcel and sold her for a smoke of hemp. I was told of the sensations of hemp smokers by a chief who had conquered the habit.
