ADMIRAL WALLIS OF THE BRITISH
NAVY.

LONDON, April 11.-To-day Sir Provo
William Parry Wallis, Admiral OF the
British feet, completed his one-hun-
dredth year. In American hearts the
event ought to revive melancholy yet
heroic memories, for Wallis, then Sec
ond Lieutenant, escorted the captured
Chesapeake to Halifax after Brooke, his
superior in command of the Shannon,
had tainted from the loss OF blood
caused by his wounds
Admiral Wallis is living at Hunting
ton House, Chichester. He has posses
sion of all his faculties, and, though
showing the signs of his great age, he is
every inch an Admiral Congratula-
tions pour in upon him from every part
of the kingdom, and so far as regard for
his health would permit, it has been a
gala day at Huntington House.
Admiral Wallis exceeds by several
years any surviving officer OF the navy
The next eldest, Captain Peter Belcher,
died a few weeks ago at the age OF
ninety-five. The centennial birthday of
Admiral Wallis adds interest to the
naval exhibition to be opened in about
two weeks. 1t is hardly expected that
AAAC hCICldn CeAll BC DlCOOllb. II ilC COulO
be he would be the most interesting
relic of the show.
The following sketch of the SER
vices of this veteran covering q
period of more than half a century
of active, foreign service, may
prove interesting.
Sir Provo w. P. Wallis was born
at Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1871.
Was a midshipman of Cleopatra
when captured by the French fri
gate Vile de Milan after a long
action IN 1905. The Cleopatra
was recaptured and the Vile de
Milan taken by Fl. NJ. S. Leander
six days later.
Wallis was lieutenant of the
CurieuX and cut out a vessel in st.
Anne's Bay, Guadalupe, in 1910,
was subsequently wrecked in the
same ship on the enemy's coast,
was lieutenant in the Gloire at
the destruction of two 44-gun
French frigates at Ause la Barque
and of the two batteries which
protected them, and was present at
the surrender of Guadalupe.
Wallis was next the second |
Lieutenant of the Shannon at the |
capture of the Chesapeake, June,
1913, when the Senior Lieutenant |
was killed and the captain danger
ously wounded.
Promoted to commander and |
specially commended by the Ad-
miralty, he commanded the NADIA
gascar at Vera Cruz during the
French war of 1889 and received
a letter of thanks from the British
merchants for attention and care
of their interests" As Captain of
the Warspite during the French
expedition to Mogador in 1914 he
received the thanks of both Gov
ernments for his judicious arrange
ments on that occasion, he also
served in Syria during the war of
1916 and was made Aided e-camp
to the Queen.
Capt. Wallis's last active service
was as Commander-in- Chief on the
S. Z. coast of America 1857 and So,
and was made K. c. B. 1860 and
Grand Cross 1873; Vice-Admiral
of the United Kingdom 1870 to 76,
is now Admiral of the United

Do Telephones Cause Deafness?

At least one person in three be-
tween the ages of 10 and 40 years
is subject to partial deafness. The
great majority of cases of deafness
are hereditary, and due to the too
close consangulty of the parents.
Deafness is more prevalent among
men than among women, because
the former are more exposed to
the vicissitudes of climate. 1t is
thought, that telephones tend to
bring on deafness when one ear
was used to the exclusion of the
other.
In Great Britain there is one
eIector to about six of the popula.
ton; in Belgium only one to about
forty-siX.
The Kongo river is fifteen miles
wide in some places. Steamers
often pass each other, but out of
sight.
