A BRITISH CITIZEN, How One Becomes Naturalized In the Old Land. The ordinary way of becoming a British subject is by fulfilling. the requirements of the Naturalization Act, 1870, The applifant must'either baye resided in the United Kingdom for & term of not less than five yéars, or have been in the service of the crown for a similar period. He must also furnish evidence of his nten- tion, when naturalized, either of re- siding in the United Kingdom' or of aerTinE under the crown. All Ll rt for certificates of n enti should be addresséd to the Secretary of State for the Home De- t. -fo whom a certificate of fn: the 0 "all and other SET a within the ts n 8 of which he was a siibjett previously ig poaibine his cértificate of hatur- zation, be deemfed td be a British subject unless he has céaséd to be a subject of "that state in accordance with the jaws. "I'he children of naturalized British siibjects, if born in the British do- minions, are by the law of England deemed to be British subjects. If born abroad, they are only deemed to be naturalized British subjects provided that their father was natur- alized under the Naturalizatien Act, and that during infancy they became resident with their father, or mother being a widow, in any part of the United Kingdom. The following fees are leviable un- der the Naturalization Act. On ap- plication for certificate or naturaliza- tion, £1; on grant of certificate, £2; for registration of déclaration, with or without oath of allegiance, 10s.; for certified copy of any declaration or cértificate, with or without oath, 102. Property may be held by an alien in the same manner as by a natural. born British subject, but the title FT } d all' Fivile is biest 'to , mer which a fat 'born ritish subject is entitled, With this tS A ROMANCE OF TRADER. T- Death of Baron Belper Removes a There recently died in England a man whose career and whose ancestry are associated with what may be called a romance of trade, This man was the Rt. Hon. Henry Strutt, se- nd Baron Belper, who was the se- d son of the first baron. +The founder of the family was Jedediah Strutt, of Derby, a small farmeér's son, who became a hosmfer and 'greatly prospered in his busi ness. A man of inventive talent, he originated the machine for making ribbed stockings. For this profitable ibvention he and a Mr. Need, of Not- a patent, Mr. Stut then came into association with another and yet greater inven- tor, Richard Arkwright, who had al- perfected his famous roller Spialing-trame. In 1771 Arkwright, partnership with Mr. Strate iris Mr. Need and erected his e at Cromford, in Der- by. Before patenting it, he adopted various improvements which were suggested by Strutt, The thread pro- duced by this machine--which was driven id oe ~= was greatly su- perior to the hand-spun cotton, and in 1778 the partners began to fise'it, instead of the linen warp formerly used together with the cotton weft, for the manufacture of calicoes. Thus for the first time a cloth solely of eotton was produced in England, and from this beginning was develop- ed the leading industry of the North of England. In spite of the immense opposition which they had to over- come, all three partners made for- tunes out of their operations. Works were erected at Belper, and these Mr. Strutt kept in his own hands, after dissolving partnership with Ark- wright in 1782. Jedediah's son, William, who in- herited much of his father's mechan- ical genlus, and who was an intimate friend of Darwin and other leading { dclentists, added considerably to. the | wealth of the family, His son, Ed- i ward Strutt, who sat in Parliament for nearly a quarter of a century, was created Baron Belper of Belper ¢ "lest We Forget" ARR ERR w formed.

"How to earn a living in South rica," is the title of an exhibition whieh will be opened in Louden late in:gh& autumn, Sir L. Starr Jameson is the president, and Mr. H. E. Mor- gan, the honorary organizer, éxplain- ed its 'objects recently to a news- er. The South, African eommun- Bn London very rarely meet to- gether, and there is*rather a lack of cohesion," he said. "This is an ate tempt of the Union of South Africa and Rhodesia to stimulatg English emigration there. We find that the old type of exhibition is practically dead. "The South African exhibition will probably be held at large Lon- don stores, and there the visitors will feet experts who will explain the various ways of earning a living. We shall solve the problem of what te do with our sons, and shall show what dan 'be done with, say, $2,506 The wisest 'method of investing money and labor will be demonstrated. Os- trieh farming, freit farming ranch- ing, and oyiaing will all claim atten- ! tion, ' Praetieal ranchers will be pres- ¢ént to explain ranching, and' the var- fous rhases of South African actiyity will be exemplified in an attractive manner." The Matches. The only matches sold in London 100 years ago were cedar splints tip- ped 'with a paste of chlorate of pot- 48h and sugar. On dipping one of thegé into a little bottle containing asbestos wetted with sulphuric acid, and withdrawing it, 'a flame burst forth. "Fifty in a bex, together with the bottle, wére sold for a shilling. The matches, invented by John Walker in 1827--the first to ignite on sandpaper--were sold at the same price. Owing to the damage caused by the heads fying off after ignition, the use 'of these matches was prohib- itéd fn France and Germany. Six years later came the invention of Maciférs, the "first roatches with phosphorus in their composition. These, tdo, were originally sold at a shilling a box, and whet in course of time the price fell to a penny, a mot- to 'from "Paradise Lost" was sug- gested for the boxes, "0, Lucifer! how 'greatly art thou fallen!" Quick Recrugting. The King's Own Scottish Border- érs, 'who figured so prominently in the recent trouble at Dublin, are re- markable for having been the most gulekly recruited regiment on record. They took thelr origin from the poli- tical refugees who made a temporary home m Jromand during the reign of James On Mareh 10th, 1689, i of Leten set to work to raise fhe regiment, and his task was com- pletéd In' four hours. The regiment wis one of those-engaged in the Irish campaign of William 4II., and later suffered terribly at Steinkirk and Namur. It afterwards received the vilege of beating up recruits in gfon from the Lord Provost. George 111. took a great interest in it, re- named it the King's Own Borderers, and chose the motto "In Veritate Re- ligionis Confidip." Ifs present style dates from 1887. "Gentlemen, Let Us Continue." The Figaro gives the following account of General Castelman's re- ceéipt of the news of his son's death: He was busy dictating orders during the battle when an officer presented himself. "What is it?" said the Gemeral, turning, in a trembling volce. 'The officer replied: "My General, your son, Xavier, has just been killed by a bullet in the fore- head in repulsing ihe enemy's at- tack." ' The General remained silent for a | moment, 'then turned to the members of Bis staff, saying: "Gentlemen, let us continue." He resumed the dic- 'tation. --ptas "Don't let it be said that oy Tqult because want it was overtook > man with a surplus of ideas is hp to harbor some that are fool- i ar TE i 1888 He was by the 1880. late peer in \ The House Adjourned. ~~ There is a good Fleet Street story of how a reporter once adjourned the House of Lords. He had worked in the gallery of the House of Lords for about a quarter of a century, and it may be that familiarity had dimmed his sense of reverence, One day there had been a stodgy little debate with a dosen members in the House, and the reporter with his colleagues perched in the gallery was thorough- ly: sick of the whole business. His feelings found outlet in a muttered remark as some noble lord on the cross-benches rose to continue the debate. "Why don't you move the adjourn- ment?" said the reporter to himself, He sald it louder than he intended, and the words reached the noble lord who had just risen. He on his part believed the words to be a private hint addressed to him from the Lord Chancellor, and feeling that he could not disregard the suggestion, he sald, "My lords, I move the adjourn- ment of the debate." Instantly the Lord Chancellor was on his feet from the Woolsack, and their'lordships' House rose for the day. Hardened as wag the reporter, it is stated that as he went out he was blushing at his achievement. { The Cost of Battleships. j Itis usually supposed that Britain ; builds the biggest and" most costly battleships; but this is by no means the case. Our bigrest ships belong to the Warspite class, 28,000 tons, but the latest class is somewhat smaller. Japan has designed four of 30,000 tons, America 1s building one 1,400 tons heavier, while Russia has four 'mammoths of 32,000 tons on the stocks, These last will cost some- thing Hke fifteen millions apiece, while our supér-Dréadnoughts cost only about one and thrée-quarter mil- lion 'pounds, in each case without ar- mament, A battleship of 18,000 tons, carry- ing ten big guns, costs roughly as above While the bill for 4 12,000 tons four-gun ships is $6,100, 000. Thus the bigger ships are more etonomical, for their cost per gun is $900,000, wand the smaller $1,526,000. Tasmania's Minerals. Rare minerals exis$ in Tasmania to a considerable extent and their number is constantly being added to the latest addition being molybdenite, which is used in the manufacture of ' "molybdenum steel," to which it gives a special hardness and tough- ness that make it suitable for use in propeller shafts, guns, bollers, ete, It is also , to a lesser extent, . in the making of pottery glass and other | things. The price of molybdenum is now $2,500 per ton. It is worked in East Gippsland, Victoria. In Tas- mania it occurs in the form of erys- tals on Cape Barren. Island, is the Blue Tier East Coast and in the Shepherd and iar ne at Mid- dlesex, and it is'as a matter of fact rather widely distributed in the northeastern and northwestern parts of the state, A - Fight With a Bear, A fight to the death between a man and a bear is reported from Taluk Jamdiha, in the distriet of Manbhum, India, Rajkishore Singha, & man not- ed for his prowess as a big 'game hunter, 'was 'home from gun. ! Killing the ' tound unconscious, : to the bungalow of th at Purulia. His body was erated, but his recovery Is expected. The average hunter for trouble al- ways brings home more or less game.

J If you AR a CNet forget the public, the public will forget you GUARDING BRITAIN. Sir A. K. Wilson Describes the Coast | Defence System. Is invasion possible? asks London Tit-Bits. This has now become a | vital question, for there is an ever- present dread in the minds of many ! people that we are liable at any mo- ment to be invaded by Germans or bombarded by the German fleet. But let us, even in this dark hour, endeavor to put our minds at ease. Sir Arthur K. Wilson, the great naval authority, recently stated emphatical- ly that the invasion of England is im- possible, for the following reasons. The really serious danger that this country has to guard against in war is not invasion, but the interruption to 'our trade and destruction of our: merchant shipping. Before the Ger- mane can land on our shores it will be necessary for them to run the gauntlet of our North Sea, Channel, and other fleets, which, let it be re- membered, are in wireless communi- cation with their commanders-in- chief and with the Admiralty. Thus, If the smallest gunboat sus- pects danger, in an amazing short space of time the whole fleet, and also the Admiralty, will be Informed of the fact by wireless. Many people are of the opinion, that our coast- guards are old-fashioned and out of date, Needless to say, such people have no knowledge of our splendid coast defence organization. Supposing by some extraordinary mischance the Germans do succeed in an attempt to reach a temporarily unprotected part of our shores--and fthere are very few spots now unpro- tected--what would be the result? Simply this--certain destruction for the Germans. For if that does hap- pen by any strange and unforeseen stroke of fll-luck, the enemy's trans- ports or warships will, directly their presence is detected, and long before troops can be landed, be attacked and sunk by some of the submarines com- prising the chain that is stationed all along our coast for that very purpose. Besides these submarines, there is & large force of destroyers either in the ports along the coast or within wireless call. In addition to these vessels that are definitely detailed for coast de- fence, the system of relief for those acting at sea ensures a large number being probably in harbor at their re- spective bases or within call while going to or from their stations. These destroyers form, in conjunc- tion with the submarines, an effective sécond line of defence in the very im- probable event of such second ¥ne being required. We thus see that not a single loop- hole has been left or overlooked whereby it can be possible for the Germans to gain a footing along the coast. \ Even greater precautions are being taken. Nothing, however ~insignifi- being left to chance. It stands fo reason that the nation has not been millions of pounds for the You and I ought to resolve to make to-morrow the best day of our Announcement ? As I have decided to vacate my present premises in the early spring of 1915, I am now prepared to make reductions on any monument that I have in stock.
