Time has not moved so swiftly in these isolated hills as it has outside and the people cling, often by necesâ€" sity, to methods of their forefathers. While airplanes drone overhead the farmers laboriously till by hand their patches of grain on the steep hillsides, sometimes calling oxen into service. The ox teams, consisting of as many as four yokes, also are used for logâ€" ging and for hauling heavy loads over the scft roads where trucks would flounder helplessly. 3 m 3 When the family needs bread, a sack of grain is thrown across old Dobbin‘s back and Johnny rides to the waterâ€"propelled grist mill and waits until the grain is ground into coarse meal.

More than half of the trees in the world are sick. Many of them are afflicted with incurable diseases, Like human beings, says "Thrift Magaâ€" zine," trees are the victims of numerâ€" ous ills. They are constantly the prey of deadly parasites which attack every part from roots to topmost branches and work ints the very heart of the wood. â€" Millions upon millions of fine trees every year die needlessly because their owners failed to appreciate their mute appeals for help. Seventyâ€"five per cent. of all shade and fruit trees are afflicted with Vâ€" shaped crotches, which are swme to spread and kill the trees unless taken care of in time. Many trees die of hunger or thirst, or both. Trees are living things and they must have water and nourishâ€" ment.

Fridtjof Nansen, veteran polar explorer, is convinced that the airplane will not displace the dogâ€"sled as the explorer‘s most useful equipment in polar regions, and that the dog will continue to be his staunch companion and colleague in the arctic. In a lecture before the American Geographic Society, Dr. Nansen said that in the expedition to the arctic which he plans to undertake next year he will use a dirigible and dogâ€" sleds. The dirigible, which has a gas content of 105,000 cubic meters, will leave Murmansk, North Siberia, next spring, for the unexplored polar terriâ€" tory, he said. 1 Dr. Nansen said that airplanes are unsuited to arctic exploration because they cannot land on rough places and cannot carry enough men and supâ€" plies. In the antarctic, he said, the ice is smoother and airplanes could be used to better advantage. "Now that the ploneer work is done," he said, "we will have to go in for some real exploration." Dr. Nansen said that polar explor ation is just in its infancy. Among the problems which chalâ€" lenge the explorer, he mentioned mapâ€" ping of the polar basin through soundings, exploration of the higher atmosphere by means of kites and balloons, study of the northern lights and correlation of arctic atmospheric conditions with weather conditions all over the world. The Dean of Durham in the Manâ€" chester Guardian (LMib.): If I may speak for myself alone, I have always felt a certain anxiety lest the Church Assembly should deliberately or even undesignedly change the character of the Church from that of a national Church into a sect. It has seemed to me that a good many speakers in thel Church Assembly are inclined to disâ€"| cuss such notions as are brought bo-l fore them with a view to the real| or supposed interests of the Church | alone and not to those of the ma.tlonI as well as of the Church, But there is all the difference between a Church which decides as far as possible her moral and religious policy by a sense of responsibility for the highest welâ€" fare of the nation as a whole and a Church which thinks only of her own members and not of all Christian or even nonâ€"Christians outside her pale, an dtherefore exercises little or no influence upon the national life. Whatâ€" ever may happen now in Parliament, it will not, I hope, prove impossible to preserve the national character of the ‘Church of England. Is There No Limit to Jeff‘s Inventive Ability?

Good fortune may have followed him in the tournament; but when a golfer can go through an open championship with a card of 292 for 72 holes of play, it shows a fine degree of skill. Conâ€" sidering the fact that he had just been defeated by an English player by the overwhelming score of 18 up in a 72â€"hole match, his playing in this tournament must be regarded as a splendid comeback.

The survey, which involves the preparations of a complete contoured map of the territory, was undertaken at the request of the ruler of Nepal, an independent state of the northern border of India. The area surveyed covers 55,000 square miles of country (approximately equal to that of Engâ€" ’land and Wales), and contains the highest peak, Mt. Everest, which is over 29,000 feet above sea level. The work, which constitutes a valuâ€" lnble addition to geographical knowlâ€" ‘edge, began in November, 1924, and %flnally closed in March, 192. A secâ€" ‘tion of the Surveyorâ€"General‘s report Himalayan Heights of Nepal Mapped by Survey of Inâ€" dia Department â€" Tract Includes Mount Everest and Endless Vistas of Snowâ€"Clad Range deals with the nomenclature of Himaâ€" layan peaks. The Nepalese, it is stated, only give specific names to a few snowâ€"covered peaks of remarkâ€" able aspects, but each group of snowy peaks is called a Himal or "abode of snow," and receives a name. Thus Mt. Everest dominates the Maha Mangur Mimal; Kinchinjunga, the Singalila Himal; Dhaulagirl, a Himal of the same name; Gaurl Sanâ€" kar, the Rolwaling Himal, and Api, the Viyas JIishi Himal, Mt. Everest itself, whose steep southern face carâ€" ries little snow, is inconspicinous from the south, and has received no Neâ€" palese name. It has recently been suggested that the Tibetans gave Mt. Everest the name of Chomolomo, but Lt..Colonel Ganesh Bahadur of Nepal considers that this name is used for the whole of the northern side of the Maha Langur Himal, and that it is not the name of the peak.
