With all due respect to Lord Hal- | dane, whose wonderful ability and Work is being now fully appreciated . 1 do not think that the question which he started iu his Memoirs is really worth discussihg at any length, ob- serves the Bishop of London in this interesting article In the "London Dally Express. For goed or for ill, we are what we are, we have done . what we have done, and we have left undone what cannot as a rule now be done. But I expect that the answer which he gave to his distinguished friend would be the answer that most of us would give. He says: "We are apt greatly to underrate the part which accident and good luck have played in the shaping of our careers." Even it we add & belief in an overruling Providence, few can deny by what ap- parent chances our whole lives have been affected. It was the mere chance of winning an exhibition at Oxford which decided my father (who had six other sons to educate) to send me there and re- verse the whole family tradtion, which had been "Trinity College, Cambridge." But for that I should never have been appointed Head of Oxford House, or in all probability come to London at all. That is merely an illustration of ap- parent chances which have great ef- fect upon one's life, and which 'one has no right to expect to happen again if one had to live one's life over again. I might easily have aoc cepted the small family living offered me at the age of thirty, instead of making the great venture of a plunge into the unknown when I accepfed the call t) live in East London for nine years. I could not be bold enough to be sure that I could again Jeave the security of a settled post at Lichfield and "face the music" I might, if I lved my-lite over again, have made "the great refusal" The Unhappy People Bat, as I have sald, I honestly think such a question is not worth discuss- fog at any length, What is much more serious is the second question: From the experience you have gained what are the lessons life has taught you? Undoubtedly the first is the joy of congenial work. I always think that Aristotle's definition of happiness can- not be bettered, "The bloom on & suc- cessful energy." I belleve that the only really unhappy people are "the idle. That is not a mere copybook maxim, but the result of a life's experience. Even in East London, so long as & man was not sweated or underpald; he enjoyed his work. We spent our time at the Oxford House in helping him also to employ and enjoy his feisure, but the carpenter, the boot- maker and the weaver, who abound in Spitalfields, clearly enjoyed thelr work. There was an old bdotmaker in Bethnal Green who made my boots, oll the time I was in Bethnal Green and at St. Paul's, and finally put up over his little dwelling, "Bootmaker to the Bishop of London. He en- joyed making these boots till the last day of his life, and bringing them up to Pulham Palace. Achlevement Of course, the lamentable feature of modern industry is that the sub-di- vision of work necessitated by ma- chinery. does, to a certain' extent, de- stroy the joy of rome. But, roughly | , it 1s the Joy ofa successful "energy" 'which is-the dearest and most «satistying "Joy of lite. I think that it must be felt to be, in one sense, "successful" to give the full joy. The world may kiow nothing of it, and the man himself may have no so-called "fame" but the sense of "something accomplished, something dome," must be present with him, to give him the full joy. Richard Wilson, who worked for thirty-six years in a poor parish in Stepney, sald to me on his deathbed, "1 suppose I am the happiest man who ever lived," and certainly when I buried him the wealth of affection and gratitude from his poor people may well have made happy, and same might be' sald of Father "Wainwright alter his fifty-five years' work at St. Peter's, London Docks. | This really is, I think, the answer fo the third question: ° But that my toil some end may find Which man may bless and God approve, This seems to sum up the situation, Eckener's Skill Saved Zeppelin, Water Ballast, Dumped as Ship is About to Strike ountain, Avoided Crash Parachutes For Life Belts Dance on Board Ended by Grim Drama of the Skies (The following story of the struggle of the Graf Zeppelin to reach safety was written by Alexander R. von Kryha, a passenger, for The Associ- ated Press, from notes made while the dirigible was seeking a landing place.) Cuers, France, May 18.--Dr. Eck- ener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin! en route to the United States, walked into the salon of the ship Thursday afternoon as the passengers were dancing merrily on the tunes of a phonograph and, striking a serious attitude, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have bad news to impart to you. We must re- turn to Friedrichshafen. There is some trouble with the motors, but there is no danger. Remain calm, we shall reach home safely Friday even- ing or Saturday morning." The announcement came as a thun- derstroke out of the clearest sky to the passengers, who were not aware of any difficulty to the motors, The dancing stopped immediately as the ship swung about to retarn to Bar- celona. Such was the dramatic manner in which the passengers of the Graf Zep- pelin were made aware that their flight to the United States had failed. Then, after a long, hard pull over the Gulf of Lion and over the southern part-of France, the Zeppelin fought for headway past Nimes, Montelimar and Valence. Just as the sun wad setting in the troubled western hazy horizon Friday afternoon Captain Christian Biser, of- ficial German passenger, entered the salon as the ship was tacking about above Valence, "Ladies and gentlemen: There is danger. Remove your bags and re- main calm, We are forced to land." General silence greeted the an- nouncement. All, or almost all, of the passengers made for the cabins to get their baggage, when one of the men passengers in a high-pitched volce exclaimed: "What are you talking about?" EVERYONE ELSE LAUGHED, In spite of the tension of the mo- ment, the other passengers who had understood the grim warning which had been spoken in German, broke out into a general roar of laughter. "It was then explained to the passen- ger, who understood no German, that there was trouble ahead and that the ship, unable to proceed, must land.

A comparison has been made of Holstein and Jersey cows, with the result that milk from these breeds has heen found to have equal capacities for producing cream in proportion to the amount of fat in the 'milk. "Milk from Jersey and Holstein cows has the power to pro- duce four per cent. of cream layer for each per cent. of fat in the milk" says J. O. Marquardt, dairy specialist at the station, who points out that the establishment of a creaming power factor for normal milk is an impor- tant advance in the study, and that able attention, they are fiy-proot;, free knowledge gained from. further stud- ies is expected to prove of special in- terest to the dairy industry. He adds: "An exhaustive study of the factors affecting the creaming of milk has been' undertaken In the station dalry! The first step in this work was to establish & creaming high and a low fat content. For this purpose milk from a Jersey and from a Holstein herd has been used. "It 1s possible to conclude from these studies that the normal cream- ing power of Holstein and Jersey milk is equal when the layers of sam. formed after twenty-four hours :| which I made a note when he told me. i abil-| power factor "for normal milk of al' weight either for or against a prisoner, 1 will give it in his own words, of the story. % "Did His Hand Tremble?"

It was a large scrap-book in which he kept mewspaper-cuttings and photographs in connection with various cases he. had appeared in, He lent it to me once, and I doubt it they 'have auything grimmer at the Black Museum at Scotland Yard than some of these photographs. Mr. McConnell has now joined ths Great Majority. So has Arthur Hut ton, another of my friends, who prob 'ably defended more miscreants at the .Old Bailey than any other barrister who practised there.: ¥. » gpelibound with Horror Arthur Hutton was a "break-awz from the old bullying school of jeants. He was tall, with a large, mild eye, a silvery tongue, and a per suasive manner. He was eminently / adapted for defence. He Would take- the fury into his confidence and in: veigle them into seeing eye to eye with him by sheer force of persuasion. Of course, he had his failures, Facts fnvariably --décide cases--as they should do. I remember his defence of Arthur Devereux, who, it will be recalled, murdered his wife and two young children, afterwards packing thelr bodies in a large tin trunk, which he deposited in a furniture repository. Hutton admitted to me, during the progress.of the case, that the defence of Devereux was a very difficult task, and he had little hope of success. To put it in his own words: - "If there had been a little 'more mystery about the case, I should have had a good fighting chance." ; Between otrselves, he knew that Devereux was guilty. The prisoner's story of murder and suicide by his wite, for the Sake of revenge would not hold water for five minutes. Devereaux puzzled me a good deal In prison he behaved like an idiot. He shammed insdnity. In court he pre served a Sphinx-like stolidity. He ° followed the proceedings steadfastly with glassy and rigid eyes, like those of a figure at Madame Tussaud's.
