The gallery walls are packed with many of the finest examples of the Dutch School from Rembrandt to Vermeer and Steen to Hobbemma, but 'many cannot be seen without periscopes or step ladders.

When you playfully scuff through the gutters and run along the the crisp, Many-colored leaves, have you ever thought that they may be used for a useful purpose? the leaves in the gutters and parks are gathered every day by the Park Department men and are used to cover the bulbs they plant during the winter, and also as a substance for potting plants. They are not burnt and thrown in the dumps as most of you have probably thought. Every morning in the fall of the with large rakes out in the streets raking up the leaves into large piles. And how do they pick them up? Well, they are- provided with -a special de- vice which consists of two poles, con- nected by some heavy material, like a meal bag They just lay this on top of the pile and scoop them up, all in a jifty, and put them into large wagons with deep bottoms and extension wings. - The leaves are so light that the wagons are filled in two or three minutes. But where do the ntore so many of them and why and how? As"you know, there are many foun- tains and ponds in the parks and each fall these are drained dry. This is an excellent place to store them and they are weighted down and also wet. This work takes place from day to day until the trees are bare--about Nov. 30. ? When the leaves are all gatheéred they are wet down again, and left un- til they are ready to be used for fer: tilizing. Then they are takes from thelr "storehouses," and used to cover the tulip and other bulbs which are being planted In the parks. They serve as blankets and keep the plants warm during the cold winter months. Since they are 'frost-proof," old Jack Frost cannot reach the tender roots of the bulbs when they are covered by this 'leat substance.~Christian Sclence Monitor, ttt. Britain to Use "Lung" for Submarine Crews London ~The Government has re- celved such favorable reports on an apparatus somewhat similar to that already in use In the United States for rescuing the crews from sunken submarines that it has decided to adopt it in the British Navy, Reply- "ing to a questqion in thy House of Commons recently, Albert Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty, sald: "Very satisfactory trials are just com- pleted of thé apparatus which affords each individual member of the crew & fair chance to"escape from a sunken submarine and reach the surface. The apparatus is known #8 the Davis sub- merged escape apparatus, and is de- signed by Messrs. Siebe, Gorman, Ltd. and it is similar in theory to the American 'lung' Arrangements are 'boing made to purchase a sufficient "| number of sets to equip all the off- | oers and men of the submarines and provide facilities for training them in its use, With-the advent of this ap- paratus, the salvage of the submarine sidewalks and hear the swish-swish of' In most large cities and towns, all! year you may see a number of men!

We must approach it in no mean, selfish, or partisan spirit, Co- operation and organization, not dlota- tion, must be the keynote of this super-economic ofganization. 'There must be no suggestion of exploitation of imperial resources, or of domineer- ing over our less-educated fellows in the vast undeveloped regions of In- dia or~Africa. There is need to ap- proach this new task with all the fervour and sincerity as if we were at war--not with a foreign foe, but with primitive nature--for the right to allow the children of men to pro- duce the things by which alone they might have life more abundantly. Im- perial organization and devel viewed from this angle takes upon itself the guise of a great and pas- | slonate adventure. It is the quest for new life, it is also a quest at the call of the old life which' demands to be renewed and re-renewed. The economic conquest of Empire, apart from being the ultimate salvation of the British people, will also bring to a more permanent foundation the peace of the world.

The gunsmith picked up a gun and took aim. Sud- denly a borrible truth struck the old- clothes dealer. "Hi!" he criea "Shoot him in the trousers--the coat is mine." Lord Macduff, the young son of Prince and Princess Arthur of Con- naught, had just learned the words of the National Anthem, and he told his nurse that he wanted to see "our noble King." One day, when the King was walking in the grounds at Bag- shot with the Duke of Connaught, Lord 'Macduff was told by his nurse, "Look, there is the King, with grana- father."
