Since A. ID. 1910.

Born in 1919, her majesty has, Of
course, passed the period allowed by the
psalmist as the average for earthly en-
joyments and sorrows. The world into
which she was born was troublous (;
memories of Waterloo were still fresh |;
Napoleon Bonaparte was still alive, and
a prisoner; capital punishment was
awarded for almost any offense; the
wager of battle was still unrepealed |;
riots prevailed all over the country !;
Lord Edward Fitzgerald was under at
tainder; Sir Charles Wolseley was in
dicted in Chester; John Cam Hobhouse
was committed to Newgate by speakers
warrant for pamphlet disparaging the
house of commons; the Earl Of Fitz-
william was dismissed from the lord
lieutenancy of the West Riding; book
sellers were imprisoned for selling
Paine's cage of Reason - the country
was ringing with the news of the Peter
loo massacre, when the yeomanry fired
upon the mob, and Henry Hunt, the
chairman of the meeting, coming up to
London for his trial, received an ova-
tion.
Such was the stormy political world
into which the royal infant came. 1t
is edifying, though purposeless, to com
pare it with that Of today. The task of
SO doing can be accomplished by any
body, and shall not, at least, be at
tempted by me.-Gentlemap' Maga-

Fire and Air.

The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air
was necessary for fire. The experiment
of burning candle in q closed vessel,
now SO familiar TO every schoolboy, is q
very old one, and the influence of
blast of air ON furnace had been prob
ably noticed from very remote period.
BY some it was affirmed to be the food
of fire, while by others the same belief
was embodied in the phrase, Air nour-
ishes fire F" Again it was long ago OBJ
served that inter, a substance we'll
known to the chemical philosophers Of
tho past, could produce intense ignition.
1t was hence inferred that, since inter
possessed this property, it necessarily
followed that the two substances resem-
| bled each other in composition. Accord
ing to Robert Boyle, the air contained
volatile inter, while Lord Bacon held
that air contained volatile, crude
and windy spirit" and thunder and
lightning were supposed to be due to
the presence of minute particles Of this
inter diffused through the air.
1pe lupOrtdnt ueahAnS VI SuSA ooSoA
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one to which it owes
its power of supporting combustion, al
so forms the largest elementary constit-
uent of inter and is likewise the source
of the power possessed by that body OF
supporting combustion.
The action of heat ON metals i'll caus-
| ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Cardan,
philosopher who lived during the six
teenth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed it to the gas in
the air which feeds flame and which re
kindles a body presenting an ignited
point. Scottish Review.

The Dear Boy.

A newspaper man sat in the study of

church one Sunday night awaiting the
appearance of the clergyman. The par
sons 10-year old son strolled in. He
was a very smart young gentleman in

fie horsy. His left hand was worn in
his trousers pocket in approved fashion.
There was q suggestion Of blase interest
ON his face as he scanned the visitor.

length.

"Fawthaw rarely sees repotahs on o

man.
Then there was another silence, the

tured the visitor.
Yes" admitted the lad, with sus-
picion of yawn. "Fouah or five times.

And" said the newspaper man affa-
bly,, "I suppose you were interested in
the ponies?"
"I am not at all interested in ponies, !"
he replied, and his tone was distinct
