MISS FLORA SHAW.
Something About the Colonial Edi-
tor of London's Thunderer.


From the Montreal Herald.
Miss Flora Shaw, colonial editor of
the London Times, made the entire
journey from London to Dawson City
in thirty-one days. braved the priva-
tions and dangers of the Skaguay
alone and unaided, Travelled the long
miles of the Yukon. to Dawson, and
back, without female companions, and
without reliance on other than her own
indomitable spirit and her trust in the
innate chivalry of the race. And when
it Is added that not an insulting word
or look greeted her throughout the
journey the justification for her faith
is complete. The stories which Miss
Shaw will have to- tell of her experien-
ces during the toilsome six weeks in
the far northwest, of how rough mi
ners kept unruly tongues in check
when in her presence, waited at dang
erous places on the trail TO help her
pass them, contided to her their simple
tales OF 'loYed ones left behind and
In a hundred little ways and by
hundred little offices showed their
sympathy and respect--these stories
will be such as to increase the read
er's faith in the basic soundness OF
human nature.
Miss Shaw apparently is a strong
believer in the axiom that "she tray
els the faster who travels alone" and
in her journeys for the Times invar-
iably travels as an individual unit, at
taching herself TO no party and not
assuming the responsibilities and de-
lays that might be incident TO COM
panionship. But it must not be as
sumed from that that Miss Shaw is OF
masculine character. On the contrary
she is an English lady, quite i'm all the
sympathies of her sex, but endowed by
nature with power of will. of observa-
tion and of expression that have found
ample verge and room i'm the subject
to which she has devoted all her ener-
gies-the relations of England and her
colonies, with particular reference to
the development of the world empire
that is evolving from the mother land
and her beyond-sea possessions. To
this work Miss Shaw has brought an
enthusiasm which carries her through
difficulties that would daunt almost
all mankind, rs well as womankind.
Her reward has been found in the
unique position she holds as one of the
leading authorities on those questions,
now of such pressing interest. that
relate to the empire as a whole. 1t may
be said of Miss Shaw without exag-
geration that she has not been by any
means the least of the forces working
for the unilication of the empire. Her
judgment may sometimes be question
ed, her conclusions combated, but of
her wide knowledge of the men who
are empire building, her acquaintance
with the movements of which they are
the motive power, her enthusiasm, her
courage and her intellectual ability it
is not easy to speak too highly. Miss

FIVE DECISIVE BATTLES,
But the List Has Been Growing of
Recent Years.

From the san Francisco Chronicle.
A prolific subject for dispute among
historians is a list of fifteen great bat
ties of the world, prepared in 1851.
Professor Greasy, of Cambridge, pub
lished a book entitled, "The Fifteen
Decisive Battles of the World, from
Marathon to Waterloo" at that time.
The author was afterward knighted,
and died Sir Edward Greasy, Hallam
had previously mentioned Marathon,
Arbela, the Metaurus, ChalOns, ami
Lelpsic as the most decisive battles Of
the world. Inspired by Hallam's idea,
Greasy added ten battles to the list.
Hallam observed that he selected
those battles of which d contrary
event would have essentially varied the
drama of the world in its subsequent
scenes" Greasy predicted that no two
historians would agree i'm their lists
Of decisive battles. AS may be imaG-
ined. the author was correct in lhis
view. A controversy ragged about his
list, and his name was even trausfo:m'
ed into Crazy" by envious ones
In his preface Greasy said that "dif-
ferent minds will naturally vary in
make on them, and in the degree Of
interest with which they watch the
career and reflect on the importance
OF different historical personages. The
interests of many states are often in
Volved i'm the collisions between a few,
and the effect Of these conditions Is
not limited TO a single age, but may
give an impulse which will sway the
fortunes OF successive generations OF
mankind"
Eighty-four years have passed since
the battle OF Waterloo, with which
Greasy closed his list. There have
been decisive battles since then. Here
Is his list Of fifteen decisive battles:
Marathon, Is. c. 400: defeat of the
