He | has been a county councillor and county alderman for Surrey, as well as chairman of the Surrey Quarter Sessions. He is also a magistrate for that county, and is Recorder of | Guildford, which is itg capital. He has edited two of the most widely- read legal treatises "Sweet's Convey ancing" and "Gale oh Easements." He js a fine horseman, a good oar, a devotee of golf, and a man of con siderable social gifts, with a fund of dry humor. The Solicitor-General is also At-| torney-General to the Prince of Wales, to which office he was ap- pointed a couple of. years ago when Sir C. A. Cripps,.its then occupant, was raised to the peerage as lord | Parmoor. In this capacity his duty is to give legal advice as required in| connection with the Prince's Duchy | of Cornwall, and, in fact, to advise | his royal client whenever legal ad vice Is necessary, and, if requisite, to | appear for him in court in any li-| tigious matter The duties of this | office are not very onerous, nor does | it bring much financial grist to the! mill.

But: it | was less than a eentury ago that one | John Walker, an apothecary, of| Stockton-on-Tees, found the release | of the smoker from the tinder-box or | the live coals in the grate. It was | an accidental spilling of the solution | that took fire which gave the hint, and not long afterwards, in 1827, he | placed on the market his boxes of | matches--<lucifers --- containing fifty | each, at one shilling. They lighted | on sandpaper, But he neglected to] ee patent his invention, and the Read-! ing schoolmaster, 'Isaac Holden, who a little later on hit on the same idea, made the same mistake.

It was held that the drum was a serious incumbrance fn marching; that rain impaired its usefulness; taat its calls could not be distinguished in time of battle; that it consumed a period of two | Years to turn out an efficient drum- | mer and that by abandoning the use | of the drum many thousands of youth i and men would be released for active service. Since the decision of the French Government other. European powers have followed its example in decree- ing that the "drum must go." Indeed, the war between Russia and Japan was regarded by experts in things military as having sealed the fate of the martial drum. The { Japanese armies moved from first to last silently, save for the occasional blast of the bugle. The drum was conspicuously absent. Before that war it had _een abolished in some European armies, but no great war had been fought without jf. Napoleon was an ardent defender of the drum . and he believed, with Marshal Saxe, that great. general of the 18th century, that the measured sound made by the drum and the fife indispensable to make men march well, Napoleon's opponent, Wellington, contended that without the strains of music it was quite impossible for successful charges he said, men would The history of the drum is both an cient and 'honorable. The Egyptians 8 ascribed its invention to Bacchus, The Span- ish conqueror Pizarro js said to have found drums in South American temples. The snakes of Ireland, we are told, fled from the Emerald Isle Patrick The Puritans of New England used drum as a church bell, and fit and romantically throughout our wars of the revolu- tion and re beilion. Dipping the Flag. The salutation given when a vessel lowers or 'dips' its flag 1s one of the and most honorable of all fofms of marine greeting. This form = of salute has always been demanded by English-speaking seamen, and its exaction has burned and'the powder of gener- ations of naval commanders whether to enter an Eng- lish port without veiling topsails or dipping its national flag was to run the risk of war, although the pro- foundest peace existed. Without warning or argument the shore de- fenses of a man-of-war would send a round shot across the bows or be- tween the masts of the foreigner, and if the offending flag did not instantly come down the insolent intruder was brought to her senses by being raked through and through. Salutes are 'essential matters of naval etiquette, and arg exchanged on an elaborate code fixed by the powers, The number of guns to be fired ,under all circum- stances is minutely stipulated.
