The funerals of the late Clifton Drury and William Basson took place on Thursday to Cataraqui cemetery, and not in many years was so im- pressive a sight witnessed in Kings- ton. A large number of the school friends of the deceased lads were present, besides the young people's organizations of the churches to which they belonged. The religious services were conducted at the resi- dences. Rev. D. A. Lough, pastor of Brock Street Methodist Church, assisted by Rey. J. D. Ellis and Rev. J. A. Waddell, conducted the service at 290 Queen street, the residence of William Drury, and Rev.Taylor Dale, | of Cooke's Presbyterian Church, offl- ciated at 52 Colborne street, the Eas- son home. Both caskets were banked with beautiful flowers, bear- | ing testimony to the esteem in which i the deceased were held, and expres- | sive of the kindly and loving remem- | brance of numerous friends.

Stonehenge, on Salisbury Plain, Dates Back to 1700 Years B.C. Stonehenge, the greatest and old- | est of the nation's memorials, situ- Presented to Great owner, &omne-by civilization, Stonehenge has a value and an interest equalled by | no other mbnumeént in the United Kingdom. The historic monument is com. | Posed of huge stones, some of them weighing tons, and In some instances piled one atop of another. How the great blocks were got to their posi- tions, or their age or purpose is a mystery, but it is belleved that the monument dates from as early as 1700 B.C. It has been a place of pilgrimage for generations. Evelyn and Pepys, Johnson, Emer- son and other great men visited it, and some 'of them left records of the impression which the great stones Made upon them. Johnson pointed & delightful contrast between the Cathedral of Salisbury (the spire of which can be seen from the Plain) and "those girt big stones" as they are called by the natives. Johnson said: "These were two eminent monuments of art and rude- ness, exhibiting the first essay and the last perfection in architecture." Evelyn, it is evident from a remark in his diary, made an unsuccessful atfdmpt to count the stones. "To number them exactly," he wrote, "is very difficult; they lie in such vari- ety of posture and confusion, though they seemed to exceed 100; we counted only 85." Pepys found the stones "so pro- digious as any tales I have ever heard of them. God knows what their use was." One large. stone, known as the "leaning stone," was, | in '1901, restored to the perpendicu- lar. During the excavations made then a number of implements were found, believed to have been used by the builders. They were of stone and flint. Under various private ownerships the ancient memorial has been wrangled 'oversin the courts, robbed of its trilithons to make bridges and mill dams, and allowed to suffer needless'damage from storm and relio hunter, and has been either a white | elephant or a mere source of gain. King John's Lost Treasure. The idea of making use of the electric apparatus used 'in locaiing | ores to discover King John's lost treasure has been put forward by Capt. Hugh Pollard in an English paper, He recalls the fact that, sev- eral years ago, Sir William Hope in- | formed the Society of Antiquaries that the ford of the Wash where the treasure was lost in the thirteenth century was reclaimed in the seven- teenth, and that the land lies between Walpole and Long Sutton in Lincoln- Now this treasure of King John's is of extraordinary interest. Not only did it contain loot from half the castles and churches of England and John's own jewels, but'the crown of K Alfred as well. At the close of the seventeenth century King Al Ired's jewel, now in the Ashmolean Museum, was found somé distancé north of the site of Athelney Abbey in Somersetshire. The gem is made of pure gold and contains colored stones covered through which is seen the miniature of a man clothed in a green. Saxon | tunic. It is formed of enameled mosaic on a blue ground. The man is seated on a throne with a crown on his head and holds a fleur-de-lis in each hand. Round the edge are the words in Anglo-Saxon: "Alfred had me worked." Some say the fig- ure represents Alfred himself, If so, % 'which the gem depiets is pri ini Buty the elements wrenched from the unworthy hands of John all that long tifffe ago, and the one which, it is to be hoped, the' "$Wentieth century will racover. i New Games for Old. Whether the progressivists in Eng- lish cricket, who have so far anni- hilated venerable tradition as to cause the new season to open with two-day instead of three-day county matches, will. prove triumphant in the end, remains to be seen.

Alcock and Lieut. Brown, and the machine used to make the epoch-marking journey {| was the Vickers-Vimy. In a few years People will not make much more fuss about crossing the Atlantic in an air- ship than 'they make about crossing it In a steamship. It is curious to "note even now that there Is not one- i tenth or even one-hundredth part the | excitement over the - unparalleled feat of Alcock and Brows that was | displayed when Hawker and Grieve | "took off." 'Psychologists may ex- | plain why. One reason, we believe, i ; is that the successful effort lacked some of the dramatic setting of the Hawker exploit. The little incident of Hawker and Grieve as they rose in the air, slipping the wheel from the under-body in order that they might travel light, thrilled millions of people 4s no similar trifling inci- { dent had thrilled them since the war | ended. : There was 'also that remark of Hawker about "beating the Yanks" { that warmed the hearts of his Brit- ish fellow-subjects, and did not of- fend good sportsmen in the United States. Over there were millions "pulling" for Hawker and Grieve to beat their own flyers, for it was realized that unless Hawker and Grieve won their chances of saving their lives were not much better than one hundred to one. Then came the wonderful rescue by the Mary, and the English-speaking world felt that its capacity for ex- citement over flying had been tem- porarily exhausted. There was the additional incident that Commander Read of the American navy had flown from Newfoundland to the Azores, themce to Portugah.-~and | thence to England, completing the | trans-Atlantic flight in a heavier- | than-air machine. So when with little flourish of. trumpets Alcock and Brown make the greatest flight in history they find the world in no condition to appreciate immediately the tremendous character of their victory. » There was nothing "fluky" about their achievement. What sort of Tuck there was with regard to the Weather was against them, and as was sald of Hawker and Grieve, might be appropriately said of Al- cock and Brown; they were well qualified to succeed. Whatever was possible for flying men was possible for them. Alcock is said to have spent 5,000 hours in the air, prob- ably an unequalled record unless it might be shared by Capt. Roy N. Francis, of the 'American Air Sere Vice. While he was instructor at Eastehurch for two years after the autumn of 1914, Alcock spent nearly 3,000 hours in the air. After that he served a year at the Dardanelles, where he won his right to use the title "ace," if a word so much mis- used and so tediously repeated was any pleasure to him. As already an- nounced--and the reiteration gives pleasure--Alcock is an Englishman, born at Manchester in 1892, a power- ful six-footer, fiir and ruddy, slow , Of speech like an Englishman, rather | shunning society events, and with an | iron nerve, His great strength of | hand and wrist probably saved the ship from wreck in the weather con< | | ditions that prevailed in Newfounde ; land when the great "hop" was made. Lieut. Arthur Whitten Brown, the navigator, who ought to share equally with Alcock honor of the crossing, though, like Mackenzie Grieve, he does not so bravely catch the public eye, Is one of the best qualified bavigators in aeronautics.
