Britain to Get A despatch from London says:â€" Britain is preparing to make a strong bid for the three largest German pasâ€" senger ships now building and due to the allies under the Versailles treaty â€"the Bismarck, Columbus and Hinâ€" denburg, aggregating 126,000 tons. An enormous: dry dock, 1,150 it. long, 133 ft. wide, and 42 ft. deep at high tide, is being built at St. John, N.B., by the Canadian government. The dock, which will easily hold the largest ships, is so arranged that a 650â€"1t. or 500â€"ft. section of it may be used alone. New Canadian Dry Dock. Provisionsâ€"W holesale. Live Stock Markets. $11 to Calves, to $14. to $17. is, $17; Ships IRISH CONTROL British Gov‘t. to Grant Cusâ€" toms and Excise Control. A despatch from London says:â€" Considerable concessions to Irish feelâ€" ing are likely to be made in the Home Rule Bill when it comes up again in a few weeks‘ time for consideration, clause by clause, in committee. _ Boundaries Definedâ€"Norway The Government has found that a great deal of opposition to the measure is based upon its financial clauses, and is prepared to modify them to meet the views of critics. One of the chief points on which the abortive convention of 1917 broke down was the impossibility at that time to get the British Government to consent to giving Home Rule Ireâ€" land control of its customs. _ The Government is now prepared to change its attitude on this point. As the bill reads toâ€"day the two: new Irish Legislatures will not be | permitted to levy any excise duties: on manufactured articles or customs| duties on account of the risk of Ulster| and South Ireland embarking on a tariff war, and the only promise held ; out to the Irish is that after the two! Legislatures are united, control of the eustoms and excise may be transferâ€" red to the new Irish Parliament. Provided the British Parliament agrees, it is now likely that the Govâ€" ernment will consent to an arrangeâ€" ment by which power to levy excise duties will pass automatically to the Irish Parliament as soon as it is set up. Definite pledges may also be inâ€" serted in the bill as to the speedy transfer of control of the customs. A despatch from London says:â€" Armenia, as defined by the Supreme Council at San Remo, consists of the Republic of Erivan and the vilayets of Erzerum, Bitles and Van, says a San Remo despatch to the Daily News. The Supreme Council has abandoned the idea of giving the mandate for Armenia to the League of Nations as a result of objections raised by the Council of the League of Nations, and will ask neutral Norway and Sweden to help the Armenian people establish a free state, an international loan beâ€" ing floated to finance it, says a Havas despatch from San Remo. | dowannA CaALL FOoR HIM â€"â€"HES A DUMBELL â€" HE DONT KNNOW Dedeagatch, the important Aegean port which for so long has been a bone of contention in the Balkans, is to be controlled by an international commission.

Explorer ~ Amundsen Has Reached Siberia A despatch from Nome, Alaska, says:â€"A wireless flash from Anadir, Siberia, announces the presence there of Judson Amundsen, the explorer. The details and manner of his arâ€" rival are not given. i The message from Anadir suggests that the explorer may have reached that point with a vessel. i Last August Roald Amundsen was reported to be drifting, in his iceâ€" locked schooner Maud, somewhere north of western Siberia. _ Nothing has been heard from Amundsen diâ€" rectly since September 1, 1918, when his schooner was reported to be takâ€" ing oil for her motors at Dixsob Isâ€" land, a White Sea point. From the White Sea Amundsen exâ€" pected to drift east with the ice to the new Siberian Islands, which lie in the Arctic off Siberia. At the new Siberian Islands it was believed the drift would carry him toward, if not across, the Pole. The explorer is reâ€" ported to have carried two airplanes as part of his equipment. He expected to use these if he found the drift would not carry him across the "top of the earth." The rule of the road is to turn to the rightâ€"and the same holds true morally. £ There is nothing too severe to be said about the dirt roads in the spring, but it is well to remember that talk never mended a chuck hole. and Sweden to Assist in Establishment. ANNTHING _TO BE A FREE STATE "REG‘LAR FELLERS"â€"By Gene Byrnes | During the same period the dominâ€" ‘fon exported 112,709,517 pounds of ‘fresh and pickled beef, valued at $20,â€" | 937,848. The total export value, thereâ€" | fore, of the cattle industry during the calendar year 1919, exclusive of canâ€" ned meats, exceeded $70,000,000, Question of Canada‘s Next Governorâ€"General A despatch from London says:â€" Although it is practically certain that the Duke of Devonshire will return to Canada to finish all or part of his term as Governorâ€"General, some quiet lobbying has been going on recently in connection with the appointment of a successor. A large section of the London press will have it that the Earl of Athlone, who, as Duke of Teck, was practically assured of the post had it not been for the war, is to have it now. Another name recentâ€" ly mentioned is that of the Duke of Sutherland. It is said that the Duke and Duchess would not be averse to a term as viceâ€"regents. The Duke has large land interests in Canada, prinâ€" cipally in Northern British Columbia. He is young, however, only 32, and doubt is expressed whether he would be a sufficiently solid nominee for such a position. _ An appointment which would meet with more favor would be that of Lord Byng of Vimy. Trial of War Criminals at Leipzig Being Delayed A despatch from Leipzig says:â€" The preliminary proceedings for the trial by Supreme Court of German war criminals has begun, but, accordâ€" ing to The Neuste Nachrichten, they are being rendered difficult by the partly incomplete and partly erronâ€" eous data supplied by the allied lists of accused. The date of the main trial has not been fixed. The preliminaries also have begun in the case against Wolfgang Kapp and Majorâ€"General Baron von Luettâ€" witz and their associates in the recent uprising, who are charged with high treason. The mass of evidence in the case is still increasing. During the year ended December 31, 1919, Canada‘s export trade in live cattle exceeded 500,000 head and was valued at $50,000,000, or at a sum alâ€" most equal to the combined values of live cattle exports during the five preâ€" vious fiscal years. Over ninety per cent. of the exported cattle went into the United States either as butcher cattle or as stockers and feeders. A wellâ€"dressed and charming young lady hailed a fourâ€"wheeler, since there was no taxi in sight. Just as she was getting in she noticed that the horse seemed inclined to be frisky, He was jumping about and swishing his tail in a way that alarmed herâ€"she was a timid little thing. So she addressed a few words to the aged jehu. "I hope," she said, smiling bravely, "that you will not run away with me." The cabman sighed mournfully. "No, mum," he rbplied. "I have a wife and seven kids at home already." Cattle Industry in Canada is Growing. Perfectly Safe. Can a man exist on as little oxygen as a dog? That is the question an eminent Cambridge scientist has been trying to answer. And he has done so at the risk of his health and even life. Normally the air contains about 20.6 per cent. of oxygen. A dog has been known to live for forty hours in five per cent. No one could say in what a man could live, and this Professor Barâ€" croft determined to find out. An airtight glass cage was constructâ€" ed with two compartments, one for sleeping in, and the other fitted up with facilities for writing down his sensations, and a bicycle on a pedesâ€" tal for exercise. This the professor entered, .ntendâ€" ing to remain a week, reducing the oxygen by the simple process of using it up. Electric "scrubbers" were used every few hours to remove the carâ€" bonic gas, and food was passed in through double hatchways. Two people were always on the watch to make observations, and ready if necessary to rush in and render artiâ€" ficial respiration and oxygen. Within twentyâ€"four hours the oxygen was down to 16% per cent., and matches would not burn, but the inmate did not experience very much inconveniâ€" ence. He hung on till it reached 5 per cent., when he was forced to come out through weakness, a sample of his blood being taken for further analysis. It is related of the same professor that he once told a friend that a cerâ€" tain gas would kill a dog but not a man. On the friend maintaining that it would kill both, he went into a chamber of it with a dog, and waited till the dog was dead. It is not generally known that Princess Mary is quite a good typist, although she usually prefers to write her own letters by hand. She keeps up an animated correspondence with her brothers. Just now the Princess‘s greatest desire is to get a trip abroad. Hitherto she has had rather a stayâ€" atâ€"home life, and she feels that she wants to see more of the world. General Sir Arthur Sloggett, our first Director of Medical Services in France, can boast of having been shot through the heart. At the massacre of Adowa the Abyssinians took large stores of Italian rifles and ammuniâ€" tion. Later on, in a scrap between Menelik‘s men and dervishes, a good deal of this booty again changed hands. At Omdurman, Sir Arthur, riding beside the Sirdar, was struck by one of these Italian bullets, nickelâ€" cased and of extremely small calibre, which went clean through the muscle of his heart and out again. Sir Arthur was out and about again within a few weeks. Mr. T. P. O‘Connor, more than anyâ€" one else, helps to keep alive an old custom of the House of Commonsâ€" that is, the custom of taking snuff.

Already preparations are being made for the fifth Aerial Derby which will be held at Hendon in the sumâ€" mer, It will be chiefly interesting as an index to the advance in speed. When the first race round London took place in 1912 T. Sopwith won with an average speed of sixty miles an hour. In the two succeeding years the average rose to between seventy and eighty miles. Then the great deâ€" velopment of the aeroplane engine came. Last year, when the race was resumed, Capiain Gathergood, the winner, attained an average speed of 129 miles on the course of 190 miles. A medical expert discussing the; future the other day suggested that by 1950 we might well have sanatoria for consumptive cases established in the air. In his view it is not at all a fantastic dream to foresee a number of giant balloons being moored from the Weald of Kent, to which wards for tubercular patients would be atâ€" tached. In the pure air 5,000 feet above the earth, patients could enjoy the advantages of Switzerland. The only difficulty would be the danger of a strong wind forcing them to make an unwilling voyage to the Continent. This danger, of course, could be avoided by the balloons being hauled down at the approach of bad weather. â€"Big Ben. FROM STOWAWAY LIFE FULL OF ROMANCE AND ADVENTURE. Captain Turner Commande the Lusitania and Survived a Later Shipwreck. A dark night, a heavy seafog, and a big sailing ship twentyfour hours out of Glasgow. Suddenly a grinding crash, the ship staggers forward, stops short, and reâ€" mains hard and fast on a reef. The fog lifts a little, and to the reâ€" lief of those on board land is seen only a ship‘s length away. _ As the tide drops and daylight comes the ship is left practically high and dry, and the crew carry the passengers ashore on their backs. That was in 1864, and the small boy whose first experience of the sea was shipwreck was destined to become the most famous of all the great captains of the British mercantile marine. Standing for‘ard, a small boy of eight watches it all with eager eyes, until at last he too is lifted over the side and taken across to firm ground. Captain Turner, known to all the world as the commander of the il}> fated Lusitania, was born at Everton sixtyâ€"four years ago. It was with his father that he took his first voyage. It would need a book to describe all young Turner‘s voyages and advonâ€" tures during the next few years, In 1876 he had the good luck to join the Royal Alfred, and before the voyage wes over he was third mate. After that the young officer‘s rise was meteoric, and in 1878, at the age of twentyâ€"two, he was third oh.cer in the Cunarder Cherbourg, Oddly enough, he did not remaim with the company whose bestknown officer he was destined to become. In 1879 . he joined a Glasgow ship as second officer. Later he wes in the City of Chester when she broke her tail shaft in the Atlantic, but wos luckily picked up and towed into Hajiâ€" fax. In 1903 he had his tirst Cunard comâ€" mand, the Aleppo, ard since then he has commanded almost every great steamer in the fleet, including the splendid but illfated Lusitania, "The captain was on the bridge when struck," Lord Mersey has reâ€" corded, "and remained there, giving orders till the ship foundered. He was in the water three hours, and was only rescued by chance. He exercised his judgment for the best, and it was the judgment of a skilled and experienced man." Such an experie ce would have finished most men of sixty. 1t did not break Captain Turner‘s nerve. Eighâ€" teen months later we find him in command of the big Ivernia, carrying 2,800 troops from Marseilles to Alexâ€" andria. Seventy miles off Crete a German torpedo struck her amidships, and the explosion kiled a number of the crew. But the boats were swiftly lowered, and the troops quickly but quletly got aboard. _ As usual, Captain Turner stayed with his ship, but just before the poor Ivernia rolled over and sank, he and his officers were taken off by a trawler, Water accounts for just short of threefourths of the body‘s weight. Sea water is continually getting salter. If the bubbles on poured out water linger before breaking, the water is impure. The quickest way to get warm is to sip hot water. Alum will at once clean cistern water by precipitating impurities to the bottom. Fuat people, and those out of condiâ€" tion, have as much as five pounds of useless water in their tissues. Soft water is water minus any orâ€" ganic matter. Six pints a day is the body‘s requireâ€" ments of water. The salt in sea water is gahered by rivers from the earth, and disâ€" charged in the sea. The first mirrors were pools of Stagnant water, a breeding place for mosquitoes, can be rendered innccuâ€" ous by corting it with paraffin. Men and animals die much sooner if deprived of water than if deprived of food. The flat taste of filtered water can be remedied by pouring it at a height *rom one mnerates it Watery Wisdom.
