LANDS LECTURE BEFORE THE PHILOSOPHICAL CLUB OF QUEEN'S On "French Culture," Which Tends To Promote Sociability And the Cult of Everything That Is Gooa And True. Prof. J. M Lapos' lecture on "French Culture," before the Philo wophiecal Soetety of Queen's, on Mon day afternoon, drew a large audiences of students and townspeople e lecturer, in his miroductory re marks, charged the Germans with distorting the French and purport of culture. For nearly half a century the Germans have heen envied, worshipped, imitated in their conduct of cducational, military dnd : wivie affairs, sometimes wisely, but often to the moral loss and detriment of those who followed their. teach ing: Poor France, in the meanwhile, wondered if she had not bees trudg ing along the wrong path, and was afraid, defeated and, bleeding as she was, to lift her voice and speak of her truly ancient civilization, rich literature, . philosophy, sociability aad art. Prol. Ta 1 spelling nos said he had never thought of a cultwre which could be termed "French," unless it meant culture modified by French ' chdrac- ter. Culture in France has received its stimulus, jt a greatér or lees de gree, according te the periods reach ed dn its advance, from religion, the sociable instinct of the race, art and literature (Renaissance), philosophy (revolutionary period), and the mo dern eclectic oetrine of art for art's sake. French culture, if it has some thing peculiar to itself, must be studied in connection with the fol. lowing qualities of the people : 1. The social instinct? which France has incarnated with unbroken continuity from the first. 2. Their moral instinct, which 'does not exactly mean, as in English, right feeling, right thinking, and right doing, - but honor, reason, and a regard for posterity's opinion, quite independent of religion and the idea of God, 3. Their intelligence, a quality the French worship above all others, and respect whether ' embotlied in books, science, or ard, make the aim of their whole educational system, and honour in men who distinguish them- selves in these lines of effort. The press, the pulpit, the bar, the pro- fessor's chair receive equal, applause and appreciation with clever books and masterpieces of statuary or painting, 'if they display the same sentimentality. © The French ming s allected by. intellectual means rather amount of intelliegence, 4.

The great naval vietory of Sunday, Jan. 24, when one of Germany's fin- est battleships, the Blucher, was sunk, and two other battle-cruisers damaged, was due not only to the | superior guns, but also to the super- ior marksmanship of gunners, ; When the war broke out, and for some considerable time before, heavy, gun shooting was the sport par ex- cellence of the mavy, both '"'Gun-lay- ers' Test" and "Rattle Practice" ere- ating an astounding amount 'of en- thusiasm and emulation -- and also betting!---and Sir Percy Scott is the man, above all others, who 'was re- sponsible for it. Twelve years ago, gunnery was a dead letter, and target practice a 'nuisance. On Feb 2nd, 1902, Capt. Percy Scott, C.B., delivered a lecture at the United Ser- vic Institution of Hong Kong, on "The Fighting Efficiency of a Fleet which is Dependent on the Straight Shooting of the Guns." Out of that 'lecture arose a host of questions from the officers present, and one was in connection with creating interest and the need of competition. Captain Scott replied: "You relied entirely on | competition in the past; in Malta har- bor you never did the weekly sail drill without one er two men being killed in their anxiéty to be first ship in the fleet--that same spirit still lives. I only want to introduce' it in- to gunnery; we ought to make use of += the national vice, namely, "sport," and to create the same ambition among our officers and men in shoot- ing as existed in sail drill." { Weil, he certainly saw his ideal come to fruition before he retired, but it was not without a eonsiderable amount of unpleasantness. When, in February, 1905, he was appointed to the newly created post of In- structor of Target Practice, he found himself faced with a dead weight of opposition and indifference, but so vigorously did he prosecute his of- fice that he received the sobriquet of { "The cursed Sport," which he took quite smilingly, aad at last bad the | satisfaction of seeing the whole ser- vice as keenly enthusiastic over good shooting as he was himself. Now he has been recalled from the Retired pList to lend a hand with the present war. Barrie In the Chair. There is only one recorded Ine stance of Sir J. M. Barrie's acting as chairman of a publi nfeeting. It was on the occasion of a Burns cele- bration. Barrie took the chair as presiding officer, and them kept to it firmly. | Throughout the entire proceedings he | did not utter a single word, but re- | mained as if glued. to the horribly | conspicuous chaif,. loathing his pre- | dicament, the expressions on the faces of all about him, which made dismally clear the fact that he was a failure as a presiding officer. | ~ When thé meeting was almost half | finished, Barrie tobk advantage of a | talkative group in: front of him, and i quietly stole away before anyone had a chance to miss him. But the next week a well-known Saturday re | view printed a satirical article call- ed "Mr. Barrie in the Chair." The thing was simply withering in its ironical account of the dumb presid- ing officer who eventually fled, leav- ing a meeting to preside over itself. The greatest regret was naturally expressed by those who had persuad- ed Barrie to come to the Burns cele bration, and among his tre- | mendous indignation was felt and | vented. But some day they will | know, if they have not already found out, that the article was written by | Barrie himself! i Marvels of Sues Canal.

There are numerous differences between the two--the African beast being the larger, a foot 'taller, hav ing bigger ears, a somewhat flatter head, and with four nails on each foot; whereas the Asiatic. elephant has four nails on each hind foot and five on his fore feet. It is the absence of tusks in the Asiatic elephant, or their partial de- velopment, which is the great differ ence. The tusks of the African ele- phant vary with the size or age of the animal. They have mo roots like the teeth of animals, "but fit firmly into what are called premaxillary sockets," and if we should examine this buried or hidden portion, we should find that it was partly hollow, so to speak, the fvory at the root being very thin and surrounding a pulp, where the ivory is being secreted. As the animal inefeases in years the hollow in the tusk is filled up with solid material, and "in extreme- ly old elephants it disappears entire- | | ly, and the tusk is solid ivory." The dentine, as in the matured | tusk, begins in a pulp cavity, which may be 10 inches or more long, im- bedded in the skull, and this is soft. Sometimes it happens that a ball has been fired at an elephant, which is imbedded in the softer portion of the tusk, and after a while is sur- rounded by the barder ivory. Such balls are sometimes found by ivory workers. The true teeth of the elephant | have a curious method of progres- sion, "moving gradually forward from behind In regular. succession; each old front tooth, as it is worn away, being pushed out of place. by its successor." The wear and tear ow the teeth of this animated grinding-mill must be {mmense---a large Indian elephant consuming 800 pounds of green fod- der in 18 hours, An English officer in charge of ele- phants belonging to the Government found that for years the avimals had been given 250 pounds of green fod- der, and had been starved, because, through ignorance, the Government had fixed the rate. The elephant uses his tusks for attack and defence, but principally, in a wild state, to overturn trees of small growth, so that he can feed on their branches. Sir Samuel Baker measured mimosa trees four feet six inches in circum- ference and 30 feet high, which eles phants h pulled down, and the damage tBey cause is almost ineredi- ble. These trees, however, have no deep root, and are comparatively easy to oyerthrow. It is the trunk of the elephant which is its most remarkable feature Cuvier estimated it as containing 40,000 muscles. It is both hand and nose. Though the trunk is so useful, it is a very temder and delicate organ, and is not used in the rough mannér "In making an out of the way. When/a great wel is lifted, it is not the trunk, but t tusks, which are employed, the form- er only holding the object upon the latter."

The sprinx was gained in recognition of valiant ser. ¥ice doné by the Second Battalion in Egypt, the royal tiger on aceount of nineteen years' hard fighting in In- dia by the First Battalion, "The stag of ten" rising from a coronet is the crest of the Marquis pf Huntly, for the Second Battalion was raised by George Marquis of Huntly, | afterward the fifth and last Duke of | Gordon, while the ivy is the floral | emblem of the clan Gordon.
