The Sultan has discovered that the
ex-Khedivc, while protesting that he al
ways recognized and still vencrateS the
caliphate of the Sultan, is in fact in
trigung against him, and supporting q
paper, extensively circulated in all
countries where Arabic is spoken, ridi-
culng the Sultan's pretentions to the
caliphate. The ex-Khedive asserts that
the Sultan has by pronouncing his de-
position, compelled him, contrary to
the injunctions of the sacred law, to
live in exile beyond the limits Of the
Mohammedan world, and that, in con-
sequence, some of his household have
been corrupted by Christian influences
into abjuring their faith.
OF late the question Of tattooing has
been revived in the British army to act
as check against desertion and pre-
vent the rcenlistmcnt of bad characters.
Some time ago, when the assertions
were at the rate of five thousand year,
Zone artillerylnan had enlisted and sold
his kit eleven times in two years before
he was detccted), Sir James +. AleXan-
der submitted TO the Horse Guards a
small instrument, with spring, to tat
too instantaneously, and with hardly
any pain, man above the left wrist.
India ink rubbed on the punctures left
the impression of a neat, small queens
crown, in blue, the size of a siXpencc,
and indelible.
Prof Boyescn estimates that there are
100000 Scandanayians, mostly Norwe-
gians, in the United States. This Nor
wegian immigration began in 1925,
when company of tifty-three adyen-
turers came over in sloop, after hay
ing been ten weeks on the ocean. They
settled in Orleans and Otsego counties,
New York, and soon prospered. Ten
years later there was a considerable i'm
migration from Norway to LaSalle, Ill.,,
but the later immigration has preferred
Wisconsin and Minnesota, though many
have gone into Iowa and Illinois. These
settlers preserve their home ways Of
worship and their language, and have
about dozen newspapers published in
the Danish-Norwegian tongue.
Labouchere, in the London Truth,
says; Il am sorry to hear that all we'll
meaning efforts have, up to now, fail
ed TO induce Baroness Burdctt- Coutts
to reconsider her decision, and to adopt
if she 50 dcSiseS, instead of TO marry,
the American youth who is leading her
into so deplorable step. She will for
felt the life interest which she has in
Coutts Bank, her house in London, and
that in the suburbs Her relatives have
wisely considered that they ought not
TO assent to any terms of composition
which might tend to facilitate the UNI
natural crime, for so it can only be
termed. America will thus deprive the
poor of the vast bencfactions which the
Baroness has annually contributed to
their wants out of the income derived
from the bank.
A stock company has been formed in
Boston for grand observatory, 1t
will be 1926 high This tower will con-
sequently be 50 feet higher than Bunker
Hill monument. 1t is to be located
near the Boston and Providence rail
road station. This will be n great
pleasure to visitors and tourists as an
outlook over the surrounding country.
The observatory at the top, will accom-
modatc l5O people. The enterprise is
in the hands OF prominent business
men who never undertake anything but
what they carry out The fact that
there will be no stairs to climb, but will
be assembled by four elevators with
safety attachments, will make it fay
orite place for resort and observation.
