Dr. Ede accompanied the first sledge party to set out to explore. the coast line of Cornwall: Island. and came across other ships, including that of Sir James Rose. Sir James was then eighty years of age, | andgwas unable to leave his ship. Dr. Ede went with the first sledge party, and with Captain Ommanney snd Lieuts.

The Ceylon Observer says: The first step towand bridging the reef connect. ing india 8d Ceylon has been taken by the authorization of a survey of the reef between Danuskhodi and Ta- laimannar 'by the South Indian Rail. way board. While the average depth of water across this reef for about seventeen miles is: only two to six feet, there are two stretches of about a quarter of a mile each where the depth of water is no less than thirty. two feel, with heavy shallow sand bars just outside on either side of the reel. The real problem of any railway over the reef will centre about these two deep sections--acedrding to a Jaffna paper. A railway over the reel is bound to come: and the opening of the Mannar line through to India, with the troublesome delay at Talaimannar, will undoubtedly accelerate the deci- sion to have through connection by rail even though the cost will be well over R:23.500000.

It is noteworthy that McClintock made the longest journey on ice thmt had been recorded up to that time, having traveled 800 miles, and he brought back all his men in' perfect health.

Some remarkable facts regarding the fees extracted from church dignitaries on their translation from, says, a bishopric to an archbishopric are giv- en by Bir Henry Lucy in a story he tells concerning the famous Dr. 'Ma- gee. It appears that the latter died shortly after his translation from the See of Peterborough to the Arch- bishopric of York, but he lived long enough to pay the fees exacted in con- nection with the event, and it was the fact that these amounted to no | less than $35,000. Bir Henry says that before hs took his seat in the House of Lords the new archbishop had to pay in fees an aggregate sum of close upon $4,250, There was the Crown Office, whence issued the papers relating to the new appointment; the Home Office, which received them and charged according. ly: the Board of Green Cloth, which mulcted the archbishop in "homage fees" amounting to $150: the Lord Great Chamberlain, whose emissary extracted $50 from the archbishop on his way to take his seat: and the Dean and €hapier, who got fees for everything and/ then charged $106 for the beliringer and $70 for the choir Next came, with outstretched hand, the vicar of the parish in which is situated the cathedral where the cere- mony of instaliation took. place. Fin. ally, a lump sum of $140 was exacted on the hapless archbishop taking his seat in the House of Lords. A Corner In Lifeboats. There has, so the story is now told, recently been a corner in ships' life- boats in England, which seems to have been very successful. After the dis- aster to the Titanic, the cry was heard of "boats for all" and 'a shrewd member of the Baltic, a well known ship broker, at once began cornering lifeboats. He purchased all the second hand lifeboats he could find, and all those which were building. When the Atlantic shipping companies were sud: denly faced with the fact that they would have to fit their vessels with sufficient, lifeboats to carry all the pas. sengers and crew, there was a sourry round 'to obtain the necessary boats, and the wily ship broker smiled and said that he could supply quite a lot of nice lifeboats at $1,000 apiece which same boats had cost him, it is said $250 each. As thert did mot seem to be any other source of supply, the representatives of the various com- panies cancérned, with many a male- diction, had to agree to the térms of the "man who cornered lifeboats.

The blacks in Australia have a very curious way of burying their dead The grave is so constructed that the b"evil spirit," coming to claim a body, shall find it without a tenant. It is dug very wide and deep, and one side is excavated su as to form a shelf on whieh: the corpse re sin a sitting posture with hands clasped about knees. A boomerang is always placed within easy reach of. the .dead one's hand, and a sheet of bark is. al- ways arranged most carefully between the shelf and the grave. After the grave has been filled in a mound of sticks: is Tin over it to protect the animals. 3 In India. cording to an English authority.

An Evglishman who bas been 'in vestigating the subjert of boowerangs in Australiayang who has reported his results and "made exhibition for King Georga says that by select. ing = boomerang of suitable shape and by knowing' the knack of giving it just the right{tiwist the natives of Queensland and ew South Wales can make them do thifags so startliog that they seem bewitched. The boomerangs are usually made | from a limb or ros of a tree that has the proper crook, or somelimes they are made by heating a green stick in | the fire and then bending it. They are worked to the desired shape by scraping 'with flint instruments and smoothing with bits of glass. are usually fade rounding on one side 'and flattish on the other. One form of boomerang used invwar has a hook at one end When this instrument is thrown at an eremy he puts up his own boom- erang toward off the blow. This ac- tion caudes the hook to catch on his own boomerang and brings the hooked weapon sideways in such a way that it deals him a hard blow on the side of fe head almost in spite of anything he aan do to parry it. Making the\ boomerang perform a figure eight in the air is compara- tively a commoh feat and all sorts of complicated figures are p , in- cluding a double eight. The test of a sure thrower is to make the stick come back obediently to his feet after engaging in these flights, so he will only have to stoopyto pick it up. One very useful throw ich is often used by the natives in shunting wild fowl and other small janimals consists in standing behind some bar. rier which cuts off the view and then, hurling the instrument in a direction Away from the game so that it then turns in its flight and goes, straight among them,, where ft pefforme a number of gyrations and is pretty sure to cause considerable 'carnage. The boomerang is m rather ticklish instrument to fool with, for unless a person is acquainted with their 'ways they are liable to tugn in the air:and give someone a rap; when least) ex- pected In throwing thedinstrument 'more knack than actual muscle is required, though the movement must be rapid and straight. It is thrown at an angle usually of about 45 degrees in the air, and just as it leaves the hand it is | given a slight upward jerk which im- parts to it a spinning| motion. It is this spinning motion, 'like the curve of a thrown baseball, that produces the eccentric results. , ' A SkiMul Airman, "During \t:e last two years Gustav Hame] has built wp a great reputation as a daring tairman, and he is ex- tremely popular with the public. Mr. Gustav Hmmel is part English and part French. It will be remem- bered that last yéar he was debarred from the ciremit of Britain's race in consequence olds having flowh over the spectators at Henley Regatta in a very daring meumer. The case was taken to law, bu Mr. Hamel lost, and had to content himself with the role of spectator, whilst his hangar was decorated withyicrepe to signify the disappointment§ of himself his friends Since that time Mr. Hamel has accomplished -many® splendid cross. country flights, and, carried off sev. eral prizes. Some of his flights accom- plished in a high 'wind have been sational in the: extreme. Quite tly, at Southport, he ascended to a height of 6,000 feet with the wind blowing at thirty miles an hour. His control of the monoplane is astonish- ing, and unlike some other aviators, he shows no signs of possessing a swollen head, but bears himself with becoming modesty." Also, unlike the majority of aviators, he seems able to fly without the aid of a cigarette. Itching Palm Oil, "Palm oil," a synonym for "grait," is not at all a novelty in this sense! In 1627 Middleton 'wrote that "palm oil will make a pursuivant relent." The sixteenth and seventeenth centur- ies reveled in varieties of the meta- phor. - Greene speaks of rubbing palms with the "'oile of angels," allusion to the coin named after the angelic figure stamped. upon it, and "oil of angels" seems'to have been quite a common jokey in England: An- other writer has a reference to "anointing" an ecclesiastic in the fist "with Indian oyle."" Both "anoint ing" and "greasing" were frequently used to mean bribing, even without special mention of the hand as the part greased. / To Cure Snoring. "At 3 banquet,' sail an editor, "1 once heard Jerome K. Jerome make A speech on snoring. . I remember that it ended with these 'words: 'To cure snoring it is advised that a piece of soap be dropped into the mouth of the snorer. e oil in the soap will lubricate the pharynx and other Latin jor of the throat. This remedy must applied with caufion; otherwise the snorer will aris¢ and lubricate the floor with the person who dropped in the soap." .
