1t is pointed out that the Queen of
England has witnessed the Derby just
once in her long reign. Lord Palmer
ston to the year Of his death witnessed
the race regularly. The course is a
mile and half. The large number of
competing horses was thirty-five in
1852 The race dates back to 1880. In
1851, the year of the great exhibition,
the largest crowd assembled at the
Derby course
Calculating Englishmen are reckon
ing up what Great Britain owes to the
scourge of influenza. There have been
two serious epidemics of influenza there
in the past ten years, one in the win
ter of 1912, when the amount of prop
erty paying death duties advanced $780,
100000 above the average, and again in
the past winter, when the increase was
about $140000,OO0 over the previous year.
The fact that influenza was almost the
sole cause of the increase is shown in
elaborate statistical tablets.
In Great Britain the admiralty has
accepted the tender of a Newcastle-on-
the-Tyne firm for floating dock to be
built after the design of the United
States naval dock for Algiers, Louisi-
ana. This English naval dock is to be
located at Hamilton, Bermuda, and will
lift any warship built or building. 1t
will be 545 feet long, 100 feet wide and
thirty-three feet on blocks. 1t will cost
$925,000; time of construction, one year
It's lifting power is to be 1900 tons, as
against $4,000 tons for the Algiers dock.
Taking Texas as whole, says citi-
zen of that State "the outlook is for a
yield of wheat, cotton and corn this
year that will break all records. The
wheat crop especially will be enor-
nous. But it is when the census re-
turns are tabulated that Texas will
give the country a surprise. Our in
crease of population in the last decade
will show a bigger percentage of gain,
probably, than has been made by any
State in the Union My own belief is
that the enumerators figures will give |
us total of quite 100000 souls, and |
some well informed people believe that |
this limit may be exceeded"
The British War office Is already pre- |
pairing to issue medals for the present |
campaign. Hitherto there always have |
been unnecessary waits in the distrib-
ution Of medals-even down to those
for the last Soudan campaign. The
South African medal has already been |
designed, and will be ready for pre-
Hentation Immediately peace is pro- |
claimed-no matter how soon that may |
be. 1t takes the form of five-pointed
star, with gold center carrying min
iature portrait Of the Queen, which is
surrounded by ring of bronze, bear
ing the words South Africa" while
the ribbon will be colored red, white,
Khaki and blue. The medal is said to
be the most costly ever issued.
In discussing the reasons why the |
United States has only 81 per cent.
gross of the commerce of the world, |
while Germany's share is 1913 per cent,
and Great Britains share is 1873 per
cent, United States Consul Winter at
says: German manufactured
goods are cheaper and in some cases,
better; then, too, German merchants
adapt themselves to the wants of their
customers, and industrial commissions
have been sent out to South America,
South Africa, Mexico, Japan, China,
etc, to study and report upon the con-
ditions and needs Of the people Of these !
countries Again, German travelling
men are superior in the technical
of their branches and are
familiar with more languages than the
of other nations Their
in their lines is due to their
training in special institutions in Ger
