This vessel, of 360 tons, was built with "wooden walls' two feet thick of almost solid oak. Oak and pli- ant pitchpine were the only woods employed in her construction.

The Argentine Government pre- sented for the Endurance a powerful wireless receiving equipment when the . ship touched at Buenos Ayres lats jn 1914, on its way to South Georgia. The explorers hoped be- fore taking to the iee ta pick up asro- grams containing information as to happénings in the outside world. Sir Ernest, in an addres ih Lon- don some months before his depar- turd, sald that if the farmers and stock-breeders of Chile and 'Argentina could obtain authentic information regarding the effect of dense polar ica fields Un cliniatic conditions in those countries, the would be more or' less able to regulate fheir water supply. Another object was to de- termine, if possible, whether the An- des chain of mountains linked ap with Graham's land and ether imoun- Winous territory on the opposite side of the South Pole, The party hoped to investigate, too, a seam of coal. which, lying within 300 miles of the Pole, ic said to indicate tropi- cal or.semi-tropical climate there in the pagt. -------------- John McLean, Toronto, whose mind is thought to be affected, asked a constable to shoot him.

Almost the whole of the first act in the very delightful play produced by Mr, Maude and his excellent company was lost by the ex. trémely. noisy entrance of late com- ere, Why should those who have the courtesy and appreciation to come in time suffer for the many who arrive from five to twenty-five minutes after the advertised time for commencing? Would it net be possible to protect those who wish to hear al} the play till the act is over, as is done | theatres in England. Be R Many It is not only at theatres that this utter ignoring of ordinary politeness occurs. At the Sunday evening or- gan recitals given by the very cour- teous and generous organist of St. | George's cathedral, people leave dur- ing the selections, not quietly and unobstructively, but apparently with the intention of she ng the perfor- mers that their efforts are unappre- ciated. The recitals, which are free, only last about thirty or forty-five minutes. Why go at all if courtesy cannot last so short a time?!--H, E MOWAT.

Once upon a time, you remember, I told you how the Golden Bumble- bee got caught in the lily when gathering honey." He had not been asléep in the lily prison for very loag that night when he was awak- ena by a click and » it grew light through the delicate petals of the ily. "Why, It must be morning," he said, "I must have slept very sound, He stretched out his wings and rubbed 'his eyes wide open-so as to be ready to fly away as soon as the lily petalh began te open. - -In a few minutes he was able to squeeze out and take a look about the room. Close beside the lily vase was something very tall and bright, bus the: bee didn't know it wasn't the sun, but he thought it was the fun- niest sun he had ever seen. A little girl was sitting beside the table with a book in her hand and at first he thought it was the Rose Fairy grown up, she was se'pretty. Very care- Illy he crawled over the table and up on the table and up on to the book and the little girl eried own: "Mother, Mother, see, here is a beau- tirul bumblebee, Isn't it prety? Foor little bee. He didn't know what to make of it all, for when he flew away from the table it was all dark as night and he was so fright. ened. that he began to buzz wildly and fly about in circles, At last he managed to fly back to the table and alighted on one of the lilies where he was hidden by the edge of the vase, Just then some one eame to the table and took up the vase and said: "The electric light has made the flowers open and I must put them away in the dark." Then the Gol- den Bumblebee laughed to himself and thought: 'Now why "didn't 1 think about the electric light? 1 knew it. couldn't be the sun. How- the Rose Fairy, will laugh when I tell her about it."
