Francois-Bernou, who was aboard the seaplane carrier Ben- Ma-Chree in the Salonica campaign. The exact position of the ship has been, deleted by the censor for ob- vious reasons, and a number of pho- tographs taken aboard were skilfully mangled in fear of many valuable details reaching the enemy. Life aboard the mother ship would seem a very novel and thrilling experience to the layman, but familiarity soon breeds, not contempt, but indiffer- ence to the extraordinary activities which form its daily routine.

The fascinating spectacle of the aeroplanes rising from the mother ship for their perilous flights of re- connaissance or rutack, or their ar- rival from long aero cruises and the work of swinging them inboard or outboard by powerful cranes, soon became a commonplace. As Lieut. Francois-Bernou remarks, these sights, which have never before been witnessed in any war on land or sea, seemed no more unusual than the cranking of an automobile.

Every city of importance has its oratorio society, and many of these choirs have be- come justly celebrated. Probably the simplest court livery in the world is that-worn in the royal palace of Korea.

This map of France is not printed or drawn like ordinary maps, but made up of cost- ly metals and studded with precious stones. The chief towns of France, to the number of 106, are represent- ed by costly gems set in gold, Paris naturally taking the premier position with a fine rubellite.

These gen- erally begin with a fight and end with a complete and druglike drunk. Between these two stages they taste of all the wickedness New York’s water front has to offer, and this is no small stock. Generally when the debauch is over the hostler awakes with a feeling that his head has been the target of a curtain fire; his limbs ache from innumerable blows that have land-ed during the encoun- ters that began with the payoff and continued intermittently until his senses depart/ed; usually be is lying beneath some table in a Water street back room, his pockets empty of all the crisp bills.

Time was when the western “bad man” and the hard-boiled “guy” of the New York tenderloin were supposed to be the final extremities in utter and complete wickedness. Both are mere amateurs, the veriest children in iniquity when compared to the ocean hostlers. Whenever a horse boat puts into New York and turns loose its several hundred “chambermaids” the police detail on South street is immediately reinforced. No matter how many cops there are along South street there is never enough on such oc- casions to handle the fifty-seven varieties or riots, street fights, gambling, and other manifestations of disorderly conduct that follow. The men are paid at the British consulate’ 5 shipping office. In a line they gather to receive the crisp bills that are later to provide them with moments of hellish content.

Ultimately, of course, when the Empire began to decline and the strength of the ltoman positions on their frontiers was so reduced that they steadily yielded at various points to pressure from without, the Rhine land was quickly invaded by the Teutons, who, pressing down- ' ward into Gaul, overran the whole country.

I had several uncomfortable and more or less exciting experiences. More than once I was nearly frozen while crossing the Rockies in Color- ado, and twice I was fired at by rail- road police, a bullet going through my hat on one occasion. At Las Vegas, New Mexico, I was arrested and given sixty days’ “road gang” by a “hyphenated” J.P., but I escaped in less than an hour by knocking out the Mexican-Indian guard. The journey took over two months, the distance travelled being close on fourteen thousand miles, and not once did I pay a cent for railroad or steamboat fare. When Germany first went crazy and thought she could “clean up” Great Britain and several other na- tions, says a writer in the Wide World, I was in the Hawaiian Is- lands. I soon decided to take a hand in the big "scrap,” but not being flush of money I had to travel the “hobo” and “working tourist" route, and this is how I reached London: (1) From Honolulu to Portland, Oregon, as a stowaway on a lumber barque; (2) as a “hobo,” “beating” passenger and freight trains, from Portland to Galveston, Texas; (3) from Galveston to Havre, France, as seaman on a cotton ship; (4) on a military pass from Havre to London. 00. 00 000 00.000.00.00o00..0 (coooovOH‘OO’QWOOOOoO‘OOOHOOOOOOO’NOO: 00 000000,...OO’MMHOOO‘z O. As a matter of fact, of course, the Rhine shares its nationality with three countries, namely, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland. Indeed, for no less than 233 miles of its total length of 850 miles, the river flows through Swiss territory, winding its way in and out of the Swiss valleys until it reaches that famous sharp turn to the right by the frontier town of Basel. It is, however, the German Rhine which is most famous for the beauty of its scenery, for when the river nnally debouches into Dutch territory, it rapidly degener- ates. Its banks are low and often have to be strengthened by embank- ments, and by the time it approaches the coast it becomes an unimportant river, ultimately finding its way into the North Sea through a moderniy constructed canal. Still, though the name Rhine thus, at last, attaches to a very insignificant stream, the en- tire district between the Waal on the one side and the Yssel on the other, which was of course, the In- sula Batavorum of Caesar, in reality belongs to the delta of the famous river. O. O o O. 0 o .0 ~ 6 In the next reign, Charloemagne’s dominions were divided, and the Rhine at first formed the boundary between Germany and the Middle Kingdom of Lotharingia. This con- dition of things obtained until 870, when the Rhine Valley became en- tirely German territory, the frontier of the German dominions being push- ed on westwards beyond the river. Thereafter, the Rhine Valley re- mained a German possession for over 800 years, and it was not until Louis XIV.’s famous coup in 1681, when he captured the city of Strasburg, that the French again gained a foot- ing in the valley. By the peace of. Ryswick, in 1697, the whole of the Reichsland was ceded to France, and the Rhine, once more, became the frontier between the two countries. This idea of a France which coin- cided with the Gaul of Caesar, having the Rhine as its frontier, was one very dear to the hearts of the Frenchmen, and in 1801 its delimit- ation was thus confirmed. In 1815, however, the lower part of the Rhine Valley was ceded to Germany, and, as all the world ,knows; after the war of 1870-71, by the annexation by Germany of Alsace-Lorraine, the Rhine became once again “a German river and not a German frontier.” HE Rhine has always plaYEd a prominent part in the D0- litical history of the West- ern European nations. There seems to be no doubt that in prehistoric times the whole valley of the great river was peopled with various Celtic tribes, for they have left many traces of themselves, amongst others the names of various great cities, such as Mainz and Worms. When the curtain first hits on history, however, the Celts are seen retreating steadily westward be- fore the oncoming of the Teuton hordes from the wilds of. Central Europe. This movement probably began somewhere about the Fourth Century B. C., and it was not held up for any length of time until the ad- vent of the Romans. Julius Casar, however, stemmed the tide ,and Au- guStus, who followed Caesar in his great conquest in Gaul, quickly saw the strategic importance of the Rhine, and devoted himself, as did all his successors, to its fortification to the utmost extent.

This nearly always contains a certain proportion of gold, which used not to be separ- ated before it went to the mint; so that Honduras silver coins prior to 1911 generally contain a certain pro- portion of gold. People who read about Mexico know by name that bright star of Mexican politics. General Candido Aguilar. I was in Puerto Mexico on election day when Aguilar was run- ning for governor of Vera Cruz against General Gavira. You would have thought he had at least a good running start by being the Primero Jet'e‘s (Carranza’s candidate and en- gaged to his daughter, but Candido never takes any chances. He had two freight trains of decanted Con- stitutionalist soldiers, armed beyond the teeth, in that town bivouacked around the polls and the telegraph and cable offices. You had to cross yourself and step over sleeping ar- senals to send a telegram. The simple job of that soldiery was to insure a constitutional and orderly election by keeping the Caviristas from exercising a suffrage called by the new constitution universal. I don’t know first-hand just how mat- ters stood in the other towns of the state of Vera CruZ, but on reaching Mexico City several days later I read in the capital papers that General Aguilar had been elected governor by substantiai majorities after a very “orderly” election.â€"George Marvin, in The World’s Work.

If a gypsy family is found to be with- out means, the cost of the dwelling provided for it will be borne by the State, and at the end of ten years the property will be formally transferred to the settlers. Similarly, at the end of that time, the trusteeship assumed by the State in connection with all the gypsy settlements will cease, and the gypsy origin of the settlers will no longer be recognized officially. tthQI devilish inv ntions. . l 11- n1ezxzbe1 some while ago sitting o l :1 shell- hole; it was the place I ha | chosen for my woxk, and I was som g days and nights there.

When he found that he was not interfered with he grew quite tame, helped himself to odds and ends of food, and crawled round the collar of a man who was asleep, much to the amusement of the others who were with me.

The man of the hour gis Paul Painleve, and the emergence 20f Painleve is a guarantee that fFrance is to go on with the war. No ’man in French public life is more firmly decided on the question of continuing the war than Painleve. War, which destroys and makes reâ€" putations, has played no more amaz- ling trick than that which has raised la former professor of mathematics to the positon of the strong man in the French Republic. It is not so many ,years ago that Paul Painleve was lknown as a great mathematician. EParis said that he and Lucien Poin- 'caire, brother of the President, live zâ€"mathematically speakingâ€"on a. :higher plane, and when Poincaire died no one was left to talk mathe- ‘matics with Painleve, so he went 5 into politics. 3 s l Two years ago Painleve was Min- lister of Inventions in a Briand cab- inet. He, with Jules Guesde and Briand, had compelled the French “General Staff to defend Paris in Sep- tember, 1914, when the government 'fled to Bordeaux. Befo1e it left it The most curious of all diets is that of stones. In an old volume of the Gentleman’s Magazine I read the other day of the discovery of the stone eater “in a northern inhabited island” by the crew of a Dutch ship. They brought him to France in May, 1760, where he was submitted to all kinds of artificial tests. It was proved that he throve better on stones than any other food, and his dinner usually consisted of large- sized flints, with powdered marbles fcr dessert. He heme a great at- traction at fashionable gatherings, where he amused the guests by swallowing stones, and afterward convincing them that there was no deception by making them rattle in his stomach. Rich Deposits of (Dapper. Men 'drilling an arteslan well in Argentina found rich deposits of copper at a depth of 100 feet. Accordingly Ribot has been com- pelled to give way. And patently Painleve was the man to succeed him. And like Lloyd George, Painâ€" leve is both a champion of a war to victory and a dynamic influence. He believes in organization and in action. His will be a strong band, In the Ribot Cabinet Painleve was the chief figure. As Minister of War he made Petain commander-in-chief after Nivelle’s ghastly failure at the Aisne. To do this he had to over- come the opposition of President Poincare, but the President was ; forced to yield to the minister. Pe- . tain’s recent victory at Verdun con- firmed Painleve's judgment. But meantime the Ribot Cabinet had been gravely shaken by domestic . scandals. The failure of M. Malvy, : one or the members, to deal with German intrigue, the scandal of the Bonnet Rouge, the break between the Socialists and the ministry growing out of the Stockholm question weak- ened Ribot. Albert Thomas, the suc- cessor of Jaures as Socialist leader and as Minister of Munitions, one of the great figures of French public life during the war, withdrew his support. ....-Mâ€"â€".. .“-â€"_.i_. When Briand fell there was no lit- tle expectation that Painleve would succeed him as President of the council. But there was a feeling that, since Painleve was unknown outside of France, some man with an international repute should be chosen. No one but Ribot was avail- able, and Ribot was very old, but th: choice finally fell upon him. In, the Briand Ministry Painleve was not happy. He joined with Briand in insisting that Verdun be defended, when Joffre desired to evacuate it, but he did not trust his chief and in due course of time broke with him and went into the opposi- tion. In a sense it was Painleve who brought about the fall of Briand. had assented to the prOposed evac- uation of Paris by the General Staff. Painleve and certain associates com- pelled the ministry to revise its de- cision in an interview that will some day be as memorable as those of “Black Sunday” in London, a month before, when Tory England compell- ed a Liberal-Labor Ministry to stand with France.

While on the subject of food it is interesting that women lecturers have recently been engaged by the Norwegian Government to instruct housewives in the art of preparing seal flesh for the table. This, how- ever, is by no means a new depar- ture. At one time seal was regularly eaten by the Cornish folk, and even to-day the older inhabitants will tell you that it is by no means unpalat- able. Stephen Howker, the man who has done much to immortalize Corn- ish scenery, tells a story or how when he and a brother cleric called at “The Ship," Boscastle, for dinner the landlady said she had “Meatâ€" meat and taties,” but refused to give details of the joint. Hawker sat down to the dish, and, as he says, found seal “wonderfully good."â€" Dundee Advertiser. Former Premier Lvuv of Russia Issues Unique Statement. The Russian Information Bureau has just received a statement made by the former Prime Minister, Prince G. E. Lvov, after his resignation. The statement sheds an interesting light on A. F. Kerensky’s personal- ity, and on the general situation in Russia. The statement is particular- ly significant because of the fact that it was made by such a careful and conservative manâ€"conservative in the best sense of the wordâ€"«Is Prince G. E. Lvov. “I gave up the heavy burden of leadership, being firmly convinced that I am thus doing my duty to- wards- the country. I was extremely glad to support the candidacy of A. F. Kerensky as my successor to the post of Prime Minister, because I feel deeply that he is the man most needed at this dangerous moment of the revolution.

The army recognizes him as their leader, the entire country looks up to him as the symbol of the revolution. His sterling patriotism, his devotion to the country, give him the right to assume the power necessary for establishing order for which the country is longing. “As the head of the Government and the military chief at this critical moment, he needs the greatest pos- sible freedom of action. By a proper exercise of his power, he will be able to unite all factions and to arouse that support in the country which alone can sa-vc Russia. Iron Money in Germany. Iron money has been put into cir- culation recently in Germany. In Mexico cardboard money is in use, owing to the disappearance of metal currency due to the unsettled state of the country.
