Here’s a mystifying trick of magnet ism to puzzle your friends with. Take a small horseshoe magnet and an or- dinary pasteboard shoebox. Glue the magnet firmly in place on the inside of the box cover, as shown in the diagram. Then neatly paste a false top in the cover over the magnet, thus concealing it. Cut from the t0p of a can a disc of tin the size of a silver dollar. When the box is tilted as shown, and the disc placed'at the upper edge and allowed to slide down, it will come to an abrupt stop over the magnet, to the utter bewilderment at your audience. Captain Thanked Vikings The description given by the old historian is that “they came to a place where a frith penetrated far into the country, off the mouth of which there was an island.” This tallies with the place where the stone was found, and Mr. Phillips recon- structed happenings that led to the marking of the stone. He has pictured the hardy Norsemen, landed from their ships, gathered about their leader, rejoicing in the safe accom- plishment of a part of their work. Mr. Phillips concluded that Harki, the son of Harka, addressed the men and expressed to them the appreciation of their work, just as leaders do in these present days. In commemoration or the event this inscription was carved upon the stone to mark their landing place. The stone was sent to the Norwegian Centenary Exhibition in Christiania. cakes, and hot buttered toast; keep his consumption of liquids at meal times down to the irreducible mini- mum; and take one compound be tanaphtol tabloid after each meal at bedtime.

A close inspection of the stone shows it bears‘ roughly carved letters which are said to prove it to be a Viking stone, and that it records the visit of a Norse Chieftain to Nova Scotia in 1-907. The history of the stone is described by The Journal of the Royal Society of Arts. The Vik- ing Stone lay unnoticed on the shores of the Bay of Fundy, near the town of Yarmouth, for centuries. Dr. Flet- cher, after whom the stone is called, discovered that it was inscribed with strange characters. This was toward the end of the seventeenth century, but it was not until about forty years ago that their meaning was found out. Many sought to learn their secret in the interval, and not a few worked upon the supposition that the letters were carved upon the stone by Indians of a very early date, though they were unlike any known Indian signs. The Mystery Solved Tracings were taken of the letters and inquiries were set on foot to find out their meaning. All was to no pur- pose until in 1875 Henry Phillips, a well known antiquarian of Philadel- phia, examined them. He declared; them to be Norse characters, whichi made this sentence: “Harkussen men ' varu," which means Harka’s son ad- dressed the men.

Let us imagine what ,the situation would be if Germany, holding her present creed‘ domin- ated the ocean as she now seeks to dominate the land. This free- dom would utterly disappear. The sole security for its continuance is that Britain still rules the_wat_er. In the far future, when the doâ€" main of law has grown, this police work may be internationalized, but for the present it must be done by the only Power that can do it. It is true that in the course of the war Britain has been forced to depart from some of the practices of international maritime law in which she had hitherto acquiesced It is easy to fasten on such minor infractions; the American Note of November 5, 1915, laboriously enu- merated them. But in a world war, where conditions have suiâ€" fered a chemical change, some such departures were inevitable Rules framed under one set’ of cir- cumstances may be sheer non- sense under another, and Interna- tional Law, like all human law I: ust have a certain elasticity and conform to facts.

It' neutral rights have been in“â€" fringe‘: in minor matters. Britain is fighting to establish the great- est of all neutral rights, the right to freedom. The infractions con- cern the inessentials, the struggle concerns the fundamentals. To quote from an admirable article in a current number of “The Round Table”: “When One of those fundamentals has been chal- lenged there ought in principle to be no neutral rights and no neu- Is this the object of the German land hegemony?

But it is fundamentally unsound. for the two hegemonies differ in kind and in purpose. In time of peace the seas have been free for law-abid- ing citizens of all countries to go their way upon. This freedom was won by the British Fleet 300 years ago, and it has been maintained by the British _Fleet ever since. guns high-sounding phrase Worth eaamimhg. in Germany's mouth it means that a Naval pOWer should we compelleu uuriua a campaign to tie its hands and to treat trade with neutral countries as wholly free. except for enemy conmgnments of munitions of war.

If we decline to contem- plate a German helemony on the Continents of Europe and Asia, Why should the world tolerate a British hegemony on the sea?
