At the time of Queen Elizabeth the majority of ladies were makers of pillow face as well as expert needle women. This pleasing past-time was also, as it 48 to-day, an important industry among the dwellers of Great Britain, but chiefly in certain centres which are even to-day noted more for their dace than any other industry. " A writer once made the statement " that women who make lace, never grow old," and this statement is proved by a visit to the Cottage Lace Makers of Buckingham- shire. Below we give a portrait of one of ghe Cottage Workers who is "now 87, and 'without the aid of glasses plies her inter- 'esting art and is a producer of the very finest 'Quality of Buckingham lace--in every respect equal to the historic Buckingham Making Lace lor laces now in the possession of the Royal Families of England and Europe = The recent development of this industry is due largely to the untiring eflort of the Buckingham Cottage Workers' Asso ciation who have been instrumental in placing the industry upon a sound business basis.

Using Clayton and the "Thousand Islands for a background the Play- ers Film company of New York has been making moving pictures for the past week. May Irwin was the central figure with eighteen other New York per- formers, in reproducing by pictures her great success of a few years ago, "Mrs. Black Is Back." A good deal of the work was done at the Century Theatre, in New York, after which the outfit moved to Clayton for lo- cal color. Mrs. Black was supposed to live in a fine little vine covered cottage. Frank Thibault's residence on John street almost accurately fitted the author's description of it and this was used for staging Several scenes. Crowds of spectators gathered every day to watch the pictures being tak- en. New York Central trains were pressed into service and many a pas- senger arriving during the past two weeks is liable to see himself as the camera caught him in alighting or boarding the train. A 220 pound actor fell into the river from a rapidly moving motor boat and after a short struggle was out of sight. With great heroism, presence of mind and 'a greater splash May Irwin dived for him and brought him to the surface while the camera operator turned the crank. An automobile running at high speed would have over taken one just ahead of it had it not been for an explosion in which the rear car was wrecked. This fake accident occured on the river road near Joseph Flue- kigers' truck farm. These are but a few of the 2,500 pictures which were taken. James K. Hackett who is stopping at the Hub- bard, figured in one of the pictures. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Protect the Young. Kingston, July 31.--(To the Edi- tor): In view of recent publications of appalling tragedies, both in France, and in this country, T feel constrained to utter a word of pro- test in the inferests of young and innocent people of both sexes. There is a great deal of talk about the harm done them, by attending mov- ing picture shows, but while, no doubt, some of these are vitiating in their tendencies, and while not for a moment wishing to minimize the danger of attending some of these exhibitions, yet to my mind, they are not any more injurious morally, than the horrible, gruesome, and ghastly reports of crime, which appear in the public press. All these details, even to a pure minded adult, are revolting in the extreme, and what effect must they have on the minds and imaginations of ignorant and innocent young people? Their sug- gestions inspire curiosity, and erav- ing for knowledge, and their awful horrors, excite the worst passions in the human breast. Is it any wonder that there is such an outcry about the youth of the present day? It seems to me, that these newspaper articles, are. sullying their purity, and educating them in wickedness. Children are very different now, from what they were twenty-five or hir rs ago, and I think that al these Published details of for- es, other more horrible Ba, aps largely responsible for the present state of affairs.

MAY IRAN'S RESCUE SINGAPORE LEADS WORLD IN Steamships Specialize in This Trade and Cater to It--Collection Port for Asia. More animals--wild ones, that is --are shipped from Singapore, than from any other port in the world. Singapore is the collecting place for half Asia, and there are steamships which actually specialize in this trade and cater for it. Elephants, canthers, leopards, deer and monkeys. of many kinds, crocodiles, snak2s, in huge varisty-- a!l these are shipped at Singapore. The collectors, says The Brooklyn Citizens, buy wholesale, from the Chinese, snakes, who are parti:ular- ly gnod about getting the creatures they want. Wild anima's won't stand confiue- ment in the bold of a ship. They are all, or almost all, carried as deck cargo. This means a lot of extra risk, for a bad storm or a sudden change of temperature may play havoc with a valuable consignment. The most precious of all four-leg- ged passengers is a giraffe. A giraffe is a most difficult creature to catch alive, and when caught too often dies before it reaches the coast. For twen- ty years, from 1880 to 1890, only three giraffes were brought to Eu- rope. During the present century the supply has been larger, owing to the opening up of east Africa, particul- arly of the Sudan. A young giraffe, even before ship- ment, is worth at least $1,000, and needs two men to look after it. One that was sent from Delagoa Bay to the London Zoo was eleven feet high and was placed in a huge box ten feet high, with an opening in the top for the lengthy creature to put its head out. Something like $250 worth of fodder was shipped for its con- sumption on the voyage, and when it was landed the box was found to pe too big to go through the railway tunnels. Every. bridge and tunnel was measured, then the box was reduced to eight feet, telescoping Mr. Giraffe, but he arrived safely in London none the worse for his cramped position. A big elephant is an awkward ani- mal to handle, especially to get aboard ship, Elephants, as a rule, hate ships. When Barnum bought the famous Jumbo for $10,000, it took about a week to persuade him to en- ter the box in which he was event- ually shipped. FIVE KINDS OF ¢ ICE. One Kind Can Be Made From Boil- hag Water. There are five distinct kinds ol ice. This fact has just been dis covered by Prof. P. W. Bridgman, ol Jefferson Physical Laboratory, Har- vary universary. First there is the common ice which is water frozen ai ordinary atmosphere pressure and at from 0 degrees C to--10 degrees C. This Prof. Bridgman calls ice I. It is from 10 to 13.5 per cent. less dense than water. If this be placed under a prossure of about 1,000 kilograms the ice melts to water. If the pressure be increased to be about 4,000 kilo- grams and the temperature be main- tained about the same the liquid wa- ter freezes again to another kind of ice, called ice V, which is about ¢ per cent. denser than water. 'Increasing the pressure to zbout 6,500 kilograms, we get ice IV. the volumic pressure and the density becoming from 5 to 9 per cent. grea ter than water. If we freeze water at atmospheric pressure, but with a temperature of --30 degrees C,. ordinary ice (ice I) is changed into ice III. which is on the average 3 per cent. denser thal water and 20 per cent. denser than ice I. Further increasing the pressure, jee TII turns into ice II. which is about 22 per cent. denser than ice I On further increasing in pressure ice II changes to ice V and then to ice 1v. Sometimes these changes take place so quickly that a click is heard. slowly is the change effected. This discovery has a practical application. When water freezes in a colsed vessel immense pressure is developed. The bursting of boilers and water pipes is a familiar example of this. The water expands in freezing to ice II; but if the pres- sure on the ice during freezing ex- ceeds about 2,000 kilograms, corres- ponding to 30,000 pounds per square inch. ice III is formed. As this is about 3 per cent. denser than water and has less volume, it shrinks ra- ther than expands. An interesting sidelight on this is the discovery that if the pressure be great enough the temperature nay 1day." be raised far beyond the normal free- ! zing point and still the water will | freeze. 'By the application of a pres- lsure of about 20,000 kilograms," | says Prof. Bridgman, 'we may freeze | water, #lthough it is nearly boiling { hot.""~--8t. Louis Post-Despatch. Harsh Words These!

STRANGE NEW THEORY OF FEAR | Become Scared Becanse Breathing is Shallow and Huwrried. That we become scared because our breathing is shallow and hurried and our hearts beat rapidly is the strange theory set forth in the New Yark Medical Journal by Dr. W. 4. M. A, Maloney and Dr. Victor E. Sorapure, both of Edinburgh. We hase supposed that the country was the case; that our hearts palpitateo and our breath came short and fast because we were afraid. "Fear without visceral change can- not occur," say these doctors. "A.- sence of visceral change implies ab- sence of emotion. To control viscers change is to control emotion. To minimize visceral change is to mini- mize emotion. "Deep breathing slows the Heart's] rate. The changing of hurried, shal- low breathing into slow, deep breath- ing and the reducing ef the heart's rate mitigate or dispel fear. So long as the breathing remains controlled and the heart slow, no considerable fear or excitement can exit." Thus, to cure terror one has bul to force himself to breathe slowly and deeply. Should he be at the upper floor of a blazing house, with no help in sight, he can quell his alarm completely by slowing his heart with deep breathing exercise; or if he be so unfortunate as to be caught napping in his berth when the boat he is on crashes into anoth- er in a fog, and the captain perhaps bawls to him to procure a life-pre- server he can still the trembling of his limbs and restore their carrying capacity merely by a few deep in- spirations; which procedure will al- so enable him to swim better should he be precipitated into the sea by a sudden explosion of the ship's' boil- ers. The lover too, whose despairing sighs while sitting with his sweet- heart are turned so aften into 'shal- low,' hurried' inspirations as he hears the quick step of an irate parent, can Lold his breath awLile, then breathe slowly apd regularly, when, pres sto! toar wll fly out of the window as vengeance comes in at the door And yet, in spite of all this welsh of puzhority, there will still be sina ple persons wo will cling to the now :0 clearly exploded and therefore or- oneous belief that feur upsets ther viscera rather than vice versa.

Will France and Britain stand alodf? Upon the answer to that question hangs the peace of the world. -------- A Mixed Menu. A funny Derby Day story is told of the Marquis of Crewe's father, the late Lord Houghton.
