George l;onld,s Yachting TrIp

The first stop George J. Gould and
his family, who sailed Monday on the
steam yacht ATLANTA for long cruise
to the maritime provinces OF Canada,
will make will be at Portland, Me-,
where the yacht will take supplies.
From there her course will be up into
the Bay of Fundy. The Atalanta will
visit all the small towns on the Bay
of Fundy and especially will explore
the region made famous by Longfel-
lows "Evangellne," in which Mrs.
Gould now takes an absorbing interest.
The ATLANTA, which draws nearly IL
feet, will go into the basin of Minas
and see the remarkable rise and fall of
the tides there.
Leaving the basin of Minas the yacht
will coast along the southern coast of
Nova Scotia and will arrive in Halifax
eventually. After Halifax Mr.. Gould's
itinerary is not definite. but y the
weather proves propitlous he will start
up through the gut of Canso to the
Bras dor lakes. returning to Pictou.
On the excursion Mr.. Gould will take
not only his wife and family, but Mrs.
Kingdom, his mother-n-law, and one
of Mrs. Kingdoms sisters. After Pictou
is reached Mr.. Gould will take an ice
pilot and go TO the shores of Labrador.
The ladies of the party will leave the
yacht at Halifax or ST. John, into
whichever port the ATLANTA may first
put. 1t will depend entirely upon the
reports of the ice pilots at the maritime
ports whether Mr.. Gould pursues his
course further northward and goes to
Greenland.
II long stay be not made in the
Bay of Fundy it is thought that the
vessel may have an opportunity to
reach Cape Sabine, as Mr.. Gould much
desires to do. At any rate. the Alta
lanta's cruise may extend to Arctic
explorations or be merely a pleasant
summer trip to the maritime provinces

a future president. Every one wanted
to see the woman whom that man de-
lights to honor. The situation might
have embarrassed any woman.
Mrs. Bryan rose from the seat beside
her husband and took step forward.
AS she turned to the right she bowed
to the friends grouped behind her on
the platform. With slight motion she
faced the big crowd that covered the
green common. AS cheer Travelled

An interesting contribution to the
literature OF the new photography Is
the account of Miss Elizabeth l.. Banks
experiences, says the London Courier.
1.-THE negative" she says, was re-
markable success from q scientific
standpoint. The X rays had not only
perfectly photographed the bones OF
my neck, but they had also taken the
liberty to poke about among my ribs,
reproducing six OF them on both sides,
as well as my shoulder blade and col
lar bone. This was accounted for by
the fact that the Photographic plate
was much larger than my neck, ard al
though the rays OF light had been d.
rected only toward the neck bones they
had penetrated far below and through
my clothing.
Had any OF the ribs or other bones
been broken or out of place there would
have been no difficulty in discovering
this by means Of the photograph. The
chain which l wore showed very prom
inently and even the links OF that part
worn In front were clearly observable
through the shadow OF the flesh and
muscles Of the neck. The length OF
time required for preparing this photo
graph is explained in the very easily
understood principle that the thicker
the object to be photographed the long
er ii takes the rays of invisible light
to penetrate il. II also follows, as a
matter of course. that the length OF

ponds very much upon the size and

In the morning we appeared before

charged with creating a disturbance

and that kind OF thing. and, as far as
remember, the police threw charge
of drunk against me. His worship
asked to zee the monkey, and when
| they brought him in. 10 and behold.
there were two Jackos.
After some explanation the magis-
trate dismissed the charge against us
with a caution on the ground OF excus-
able mistake. And, indeed. II was most
excusable. Apparently the Italian had
really lost his monkey. and whether II
was his monkey or Jacko that he had
been pursuing when | encountered II,

events, the police had captured the
other monkey during the night and
had shut the two up together. There
they sat. two ugly. grinning, indistin-
guishable creatures. both guilty, ac-
cording to the evidence, OF aggravated
assaults on the police.

dock the magistrate asked us 10 re-

that he was not Solomon, but only

seemed to think, was a base attempt

PILGRIMS

Now Go In Comfort to tho Famous
shrine at Canterbury.
In the olden days pilgrims to Canter-
bury who could not afford to hire steedi
tramped all the way. thus conducting tc
the prosperity of the hospitable coun-
try inns which are fast disappearing
from the land for lack of support. To-
day those bent on similar mission do
the business in a much more comfort
able manner. A pilgrimage la mode
consists of breakfast in the morning at
home, jaunt in comfortable rail-
way carriage, luncheon at Canterbury,
return by train after prayers and SER
mon and dinner in London. Physical
discomfort is thus completely obliter-
ated, and the mind is consequently left
free and undisturbed for the contem-
plation of The higher objects pilgrim
ages seek to obtain. 1t was in this way
that a body of devout persons, intent
on the reclamation of England to the
Roman Catholic faith, and known as
the Guild of Our Lady OF Ransom
journeyed by train from Holborn. after
attending service in st. Etheldredas,
Ely Place, to Canterbury, to pray at
the shrine of the unfortunate Thomas
a-Becket. There they were met by con-
tingents Of similarly minded people
from the neighborhood, most of whom
wore the robes OF some religious order
The relics of the saint were venerated
In due form. and prayers were recited
for the restoration of our country to
the true religion" The London con-
tingent then returned home by train.

by the pictures of her foot. THAT
plate, when it had been developed in

were.
I'm the portrait OF the foot in the
stocking-the texture of which. by the
way, showed up wonderfully-the bones
of the toes, which should naturally be
straight and separated, were crowded
one upon the other, while the portrait
OF the foot that was shod was still more
terrible to contemplate. The bones
were squeezed up into the shape of a
triangle-to fit my American pointed
