To the casual visitor, Regent House will be remem- bered as the gateway of Trinity Col- lege, the famous Palladian facade of which, with its blue clock and its pigeons, faces on to College Green. If the casual visitor to Dublin re- membered little else of Trinity, he would surely remember. the high. massive iron railings on the low granite wall; the great iron gates swung open, and beyond them the tunnel-like gateway leading under Regent House into the cobble-paved quadrangle beyond. Regent House has been the scene of many interesting meetings. Most of the university societies still meet there, and thousands of Trinity men, the world over, recall, with mixed feelings, the written or viva voce ex- amination held within its walls. Cer- tainly, the Irish Convention could not have met on more historic ground. If the members, in moments of re- laxation, look out of the windows facing west, College Green lies im- mediately beneath them, with the well-known statute of Henry Grattan in the foreground; and beyond, the length of Dame street, with the no- torious statue of King William, in the garb of a Roman emperor, lead- ing an imaginary host towards the heights of Cork Hill. Then, on the right, is the subject of the whole matter, namely; the old Irish Houses of Parliament, now occupied by the Bank of Ireland. Quite apart from its momentous present-time as- sociations, this building is easily the most striking object to be seen from the western windows of Regent House. It was the work of five dif- ferent architects, and took nearly a hundred years to complete; but it is generally recognized as one of the most beautiful one-story classical buildings in the world. As one writer well says, it is a remarkable combin- ation of “symmetry and picturesque- ness.” As to the general View, from this side of Regent House, it is one of much going and coming. The outside cars still swing round the front of Trinity, out of Grafton street, or back the other way; whilst all the trams in Dublin seem to find their way, sooner or later, through College Green. If, however, one crosses to the other side of the room, and looks out through the windows facing east, the scene is indeed a changed one. In College Green all is the hurry and bustle of a great city. In the fam- ous cobble-paved quadrangle of Trin- ity, which lies behind Regent House, all is academic calm. They say in Dublin that you may always know a Fellow of Trinity by his walk. It is an exaggeration, of course; but, like most exaggerations, it has in it an element of truth. Certainly those who walk much across the cobble- stones of Trinity find there is a cer- tain “nice and mincing step” which gets over the ground most easily. But to return to the view: It is a grateful view at all times. In sum- mer, however, when the trees are in leaf, and the daisies on the grass patches insist upon showing them- selves, lawn mowers or no lawn mowers, it is specially good to see. To the right is the Examination Hall, with its “Armada” organ and chan- delier, and, beyond, the famous lib- rary one of the four which, under the Copyright Act, is entitled to re- ceive a copy of every volume pub- lished in the United Kingdom. On the left are the chapel, the printing house, and the dining hall, with its high oak paneling; its pulpit, from which once preached the famous Bishop Berkeley; and its long rows of oil paintings of famous Irishmen and benefactors of the college. Di- rectly opposite the gateway, where the cobblestones definitely give way to the grass of Library Square, is the beautiful Campanile, erected in 1853 by Lord John George Beresford, Archbishop of Armagh and chancel- lor of the university. It is chiefly remembered by Trinity men by rea- son of the fact that the great bell hung within it is tolled on examina- tion mornings. Behind the library is the Fellows’ Garden, and beyond it the famous College Park. These are not included in the view from Regent House, but it may be ventured that many of the delegates will find their way, now and again, into the park, R. I. Pocock, superintendent of the London Zoo, explains that those felidae or cat family that have an elastic ligament between the cera- tohyal and the upper elements of the suspenssorium (lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar), roar, but never purr, while all the other species of the felidae, with normally constructed hyoids, purr but never roar, and among these are the cheetah and puma. anci'be invited by the Fellows into their garden. Of the 500 different processes in munition work, upon which women are engaged, in England, two-thirds had never been performed by 3. WO- man previously to a year ago. The number of British workers en- gaged in war industries has nearly doubled during the first two years of war. In 1914 there were 1,986,- 000; to-day there are 3,500,000. In 1915-16 the average number of children on the roll of the London elemen'ary schools was 728,657 and the avera :6 attendance, 640,520. \Voman in Munitions. About Felines. War Workers. TIE DURHAI CHRONICLE. Reconstructed Belgian Army is Stronger Than Ever Before. How different conditions are to- day on this western front, especially on that part occupied by the British, from what was the case one year ago can best be learned from a summary of what is now taking place. A year ago an advance on the Somme began which was a carefully planned and well executed campaign; it was the greatest attempt that Britain had ever made under arms; for the number of men under arms, the number of men and guns taken, and the tremendous artillery prepar- ation beforehand were on a scale never before dreamed of. Hopes were high, and, while results were not all that could be expected, the move was a splendid training for field work, and converted the English amateur soldiers into veterans who, during this present year, have shown them- selves the superiors of the pick of the German troops. To-day the fighting front extends from the North Sea to St. Quentin, and British guns, outnumbering the German in the proportion of three to one, are throwing high explosives on nearly every mile of the 110-mile stretch. The supply of munitions is almost inexhaustible, and it has been possible to help out Italy and Russia With guns and shell. Last year the Germans could mass sufficient forces on the western front to hold the British advance; to-day they are being slowly but surely driven back after most desperate ef- forts to avert the danger. The Ger- man man power is no longer What it was and this is shown each day in in- creasing signs. Possibly the number of men in the field is as great as ever, but the spirit of the troops 18 no longer the same. Victory seems by no means as certain for them, and this change of view is not so much due to hunger and want as to the successive checks to German arms and the continued pressure and increasing numbers of their oppon- ents. One great surpriseâ€"and a fact not generally knownâ€"is that the Belgian army has been entirely reorganized and is to-day larger in numbers, bet- ter equipped and more determined in spirit than ever before. It should be remembered that this army in 1914, not 100,000 strong, met the Ger- mans, who had three times the numbers, and held in check for thir- teen days the great invasion that had been under preparation for years, with the expectation that it would be irresistible. To-day the army oc- cupies a front of twenty-two miles with several divisions of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. A Place of Safety. At a recent gathering, in the Guild- hall, when Mr. Balfour was given an official welcome by the City of Lon- don, the following notice was on the program: “Should the proceedings be interrupted by the presence of hostile aircraft, of which ample notice will be given, it is suggested that the guests of the corporation should adjourn to the crypt beneath the Guildhall, or to the adjoining crypt under the- Council Chamber, until the raid is over. The staircases on the north, south and west sides of the Guildhall give access to these crypts which are spacious, well lighted, and in direct communica- tion with other parts of the build- ing.” There is something peculiarly precious about the “house agent- like” description of the crypts as “spacious and well lighted.” Alto- gether most desirable palces, in fact. Three years ago, even the hint of the possibility of such an announcement would have been accounted a most extravagant flight of fancy. Apropos of the retirement of the master of the Tower Bridge, in Lon- don, some delightful stories are being told of his long tenure of pifice. One especially, of a dog owned by the superintendent of Billingsgate Mar- ket, is worth repeating. The dog, it appears, one day had a mind to cross the river to the Surrey side, and, as was usual with him on such occa- sions, he went by way of the Tower Bridge. Just as he reached the mid- die of the bridge, however, one of the huge bascules began to be raised, to allow of a boat passing up or down the river. It would have been quite simple for him to have turned back, but he knew all about tower bridges, so he just adjusted himself comfort- ably on the rising bascule, went. up with it, came down with it, and then, as the two sides were meeting once again, leap-ed lightly across the gap, “and continued his journey without a bark.” Admiral Colville has a good story to tell of a breakfast, eaten under water in the Dardanelles, which de- serves to take its place among all other good breakfast-table stories and for all time. A submarine was proceeding up the Straits when the captain happened to notice through the periscope that a floating mine had attached itself to the rudder. He imparted the information to the lieu- tenant, and they agreed not to tell the crew but to have breakfast and consider what was best to be done. In twenty minutes a plan for remov- ing the mine was matured. The plan succeeded. Temperature of Earth. The temperature of the earth ap- Dears to increase from the outer surface downwards at the rate of one degree Fahrenheit for every fifty or sixty feet, and at the rela- tively short distance of a very few miles the temperature must be ex- ceedingly high. Loam soil weighs seventy-five to ninety pounds a cubic foot when dry. It is proposed to start a new indus- try in British Honduras for the pro- duction of oil from the cohume palm, which grows prolifically in that coun- tI'Y. ON THE “'ESTERN FRONT.
