But to these days of growing secur- ity tuere soon came a variant of grave peril. Chalmers had transfer. red a few of his trunks for safety to A a lugger moored in the bay; the na- tives had made a raid on the Soat with an eye to booty, and in the fight that ensued one of them had been killed, This was an outragp. which must bd wiped out In blood, and with- in an hour the mission house, which Chalmers had now bullt and into which he had moved, was surrounded by a dense mob, brandishing spears and clamoring for the lives of the white man and his wife.

FLOWER FIRE Plants Will Emit a Mysterious Radiance at Times The most wonderful--it might al- most"be said spiritual---attribute of flowers is neither their beauty of color or form nor their fragrance, but,strangely enough, a mysterious radiance that sometimes surrounds them, writes J. Carter Beard. Ii is sirange that this flower fire is so lit- tle known and so seldom noticed. The best time to watch for and to witness the emission of flower fire is just cafter sunset of a warm day, when the atmosphere is perfectly dry and clear. On the contrary, it the air'is dense or the day has been rainy nothing of" the Rind can bi seen. The light emitted from i ers is sometimes continuous, but of- tener, perhaps, represents itself in fiakhes and flickerings like the sparks ftom a piece of paper that has been electrified. The duration of the light varies according to the state of the atmosphere and the sort of flowers that are under observation. A daughter of Linnaeus is credited with having been the first, as long ago ds 1762, to have observed the luminous emanations. While seated alone in her father's. garden on a fine, warm summer night her atten- tion was attracted to a cluster of the common nasturtiums, whose flowers with iridescent luster amid surrounding gloom. Captivated by the 'charming novelty of the spec- tacle, she repeated. her nocturnal visit to- the flowers a number of times and never once failed to wit- ness the gléeam of the nasturtiums. Numerous other flowers, many of which can be found in our gaPdens, are discovered to be self luminous after exposure to the strong, sustain- ed light of the summer sun, for not only do groups of nasturtinms ex- n, but the cor- on sunflower, the dahlia, the iuberose, the yellow lily, dnd, indeed, a number of blossoms not named here.-- Christian Endegy- or World.

He was a crank, p and simple -- the first of thousands who have pesteped the Phtent fice since 'that time. wy Another amusing thing for which a . patent was sought was as follows. Some naturalist Lad noticed that bees are often robbed of their honey, at night by the bee-moth, while themselves are dormant, To provi against this he put in aRpectica and plans showing how the ale should have a small shutter before the hole for ingress and egress; how this shutter might be condected by cords with the perchés of hens roost- ing some shed near; how thé hens would retire to their perches wheb * the bees went inside 'the hives for the night; how the hens, by "this, would depress the perches, which would move the cord, and thus close the shutters! When morning came, and the hens flew down, of course the shutters were opened again, and the bees began operations onde more! Think of the glorious strata- gem! You never know what will come into the Patent Office any day. To be a clerk there nmiust be as good as be- ing at a pantomime, and often infi- nitely more amusing. One man trav- eling on a northern railway had pull- ed the communication-cord in vain, so far as making 'the driver feel it was concerned. So he forthwith set his brains to work and evolved a "patent" device which should com- pel the driver to take notice of such a thing. His plans, as sent to the office, showed-ian enormous catapult fixed on the top of the guards' van, which when the cord was pulled by a pas- senger, should throw stones at the driver on the engine till-he *stopped the train! I need hardly say that no railway company has; as yet, taken up that' patent and carried its plans into effect. Nice for the driver, eh" | When one portion of England was, or three decades ago, troubled with a slight earthguake, there came along the man with the hour -- as usual! This worthy inventor was greatly perturbed lest his own house should fall in such a catastrophe as an English earthquake. And to pre- vent the danger he put in for a pa- tent for a device he had, whereby all houses; etc., for the future should be build on small rollers or wheels, so that when any seismatic disturbance occurred they would simply roll or move about freely 'and unhurt, in- stead of having their foundations up- set and endangered!

MUFTI Army Officers Wear Uniforms Only When on Duty London Express. > The British army officer never wears uniform unless he is on duty, but, the French or German officer never wears mufti unless, perhaps, he is away on leave. A Trench general who was over here for the recent manoeuvres told an English officér that they could not take up regimental sports in France because the men would all have to wear uniforms and the colonel would have to take command, whereas in England the men wear what they like and an officer might be a mem- ber of a football team in which one of his men was captain. In Franve and Germany an officer wearg his uniform in the streets, in restaffrants, at race meetings, or any- where else he appears in public, and a French officer has to get a special leave to attend 4 wedding In private clothes. You never see an officer in uniform dining at the Savoy or the Carlton, although in Paris or Beér- lin you may find a restaurant crowd- ed with uniformed men. It is still the rule for and I think for the. ed officers of the British army to wear uniformi when out "after hours," unless on special leave, but the household cavalrymen, after six months' service, have the privilege of going out in mufti. That is why you never, or rarely, see a household cav- alry man, exgent young recruits, aking about London in scarlet or Laer It would have astonished a French or German army man to have looked in at the Royal United Institution on a recent afternoon and to have seen an officer in mufti giving a lec ture to 30 N.C.0.'s of the household cavalry in mufti, with a general of ficer in mufti looking on. The. privilege of wearing plain clothes when off duty is very highly prized by English officers' In the household cavalry it is the custom for the officers to wear the ordinary dinner in London except the officer 'oh' duty, who wears uniform. The custom is dile to the circumstances that officers not on duty often go out after din- ner, and would not relish a double: change of clothes, Officers of other regiments dine In mess jackets, the jackets being worn open, except in the instance of the orderly officer, who "wears his but- toned, with a belt. \ A Monument to London Strand. +~'This monument he privates -commission- 1 Adam. erected to the the first man," is the only one of its kind in America, and probably in the wor) 'Jt was erected in 1909 Ly John ¥.
