LONDON, April 23.-The people of Great
Britain who are scared periodically by re.
ports on the ineficiency of their navy have
to-day been shocked by revelations con-
corning the inefficiency of their army. The
first army corps of Great Britain, in round
numbers $4,000 men, is fondly supposed by
the British elector to be ready to take the
field at two days' notice. 1t is this division
that would first be launched upon con-
tinental battlefield should England become
involved in a conflict with her European
neighbors.
DIR. Hambleden, in a report to General
Sir Evelyn Wood, upon this force, saws
that only small proportion of the men
are sound and reliable, while the remainder
are undeveloped men and boys who are
physically totally incapable of enduring
the hardships of war. He gives their age,
heights, weights and chest and other meas
urements to prove this. and then strongly
urges that boy recruits should be
put through course of physical
exercises to aid them IN their development,
be provided with suficiency of wholesome
food, and trained under the highest sani.
tary conditions He holds that the pre-
ventable waste of the British army from
consumption and other diseases reaches a
total equaling financial loss Of $500, 900
per aunum.
Coming so soon after the revelations
made before the recent commission, the
people of England are beginning to ask
what they get for the s17, ,0O0, 900 annually
spent upon what is officially described as
an armv. DR.. Hambleden declares that
this condition of affairs is a grave source
of danger to the State. Most people will
agree with him

lBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.J
LONDON, April 23.-The British Board
of Agriculture is endeavoring to arouse the
apple growers of England to initiate their
French competitors and take combined ac-
tion against the apple blossom weevil,
which has done incredible damage to apple
crops in recent years. The ravages of this
minute insect are oftener seriously
attributed to the East wind or
late frosts, and even when the
true nature of the evil is recognized, it is
useless for one cultivator to incur trouble
and expense to remove it, if his neighbors
allow it to increase and multiply in security
all around One weevil, it is stated, will
lay 20 eggs, placing only one in each bud of
an apple blossom, there to be Matched and
nourished upon the fruitful portion of the
flower, to the destruction of all hope of
apples.
In France the apple growers in village
form an association, and, seizing the appro-
propriate moment, make combined raid on
the invaders of all trees in the parish. In
one orchard of about eight acres scores of
thousands of weevils were shaken from the
trees and destroyed, and a satisfactory crop
OF apples atterward was obtained

Buddhism and other oriental systems Of
doctrine, it will be a matter of surprise to
know that so far from being generally well
coined, as a religious and intellectual factor
in the Buddhist and Hindoo worlds, theoso-
ply has been looked on there from the start
with more or less suspicion and dislike. A
doctrine anti-caste, anti-race prejudice,
etc, could scarcely fail to awaken
such feelings in q caste-ridden
nation. This state of mind is
however gradually changing. Colonel

Church on a common platform of ethical be-

world if it could.
