By Major Geo. Wood.

The arrangements for any carrying
through of the meetings in connection
with the visit of Lieut.-Col French
and Major Harris, have made it out of
the question to get time to keep UP
with my column of Happenings" and
as the meetings themselves have been
written up it won't be necessary for
me TO rehash them all again but I
think it will be interesting to give some
impressions of and sidelights upon this
important event in our islands history.
We had waited long and patiently for
our P. o. to come, and the prospects
Of his coming this year certainly
looked slim. but after being Cancelled
twice we received word that he was
really coming. Then at the last moment
he sprang a welcome surprise on us
by bringing along Major Harris with
him. Seeing that we are now practical
ly dealing with as many children as
Srown-up people and running thirteen
different Sunday schools or Junior
meetings, this was a good thing for us.
II meant that the ]. S. s. was able to
see with his own eyes the kind of ma
terial we are dealing with, as we had
arranged for him to meet the children
at eight different places, also to note
our difficulties. We were able to have
the benefit of his ripe judgment in Sc
curing locals besides giving one entire
session of our councils to going thor
;r,fO
standpoint. The Lieutenant Colonel
ably backed up the ]. S. man, and
gave us a thorough and most mastery
explanation eff it's four-sided features,
the company meeting, the salvation
meeting, the Band of Love, and the
corps cadets.
The past year shows very large in
creases in the Junior work. but I ven
ture to predict that with the spirit in
which all present discussed the same
the coming year will see even larger
advances. SO far the Major has APP
pointed four Junior locals. enrolled six
juniors, and secured eleven corps
cadets. With one corps cadet already
upon the island. this makes a total
OF twelve, one-sixth of the total num-

Having played roles in the Bernhardt-
Coquelin company, Miss Agnes Lane, of
Chicago, refuses to be spanked as lead
ing lady with her present company.
Miss Lane went from Chicago to Froh-
mans School of Acting in New York.
From there she accompanied Bern
hardt on her American tour, and was
the only one of the sixty persons en-
gagged for minor roles who was per-
mitted TO travel from the Atlantic to
the Pacific with the divine Sarah.
Since that time Miss Lane has been
playing leading lady in Don Caesar
road company under the business man
agement of Edwin Rostell. She was
not considered "soubrettish enough,

as she Indignantly asserts, and Mr..
Rostell wished her to submit to a
spanking from Don Caesar at the end
of the first act. where she jumps up
and exclaims, What's. that?" as the
guns are fired.
The Chicago actress declined, even
when told she would have to leave the
company unless complying with Mr..
Rostells request. The manager claims
he acts for financial hacker of the
company, who is not satisfied with the
leading lady's soubrette performance.
Miss Lane insists that the financial
hacker is a mythical person, and she
is suing Rostell for the amount she in
vested in costumes for the play

One of the most remarkable hobbies
is that of NJ. Honore Baudre now liv-
ing in small town of India. This man.
who seems to be skilled musician, one
day noticed that a suspended flint
stone gave forth a musical sound when
struck, and he became inspired with
the idea of collecting enough such
stones for Two complete chromatic
scales. Since then, for more than
thirty years. he has searched diligently
near his home and in distant parts OF
the earth, testing thousands and thou
sands of specimens. He has found that
sonorous stones are not common, those
emitting a desired note being much
more rare, and 1t was many years be
fore he succeeded In obtaining the first

of the second octave being still lacking.

ent form, however, be is able to play q
great variety OF airs. He uses an iron
frame, from which the stones are sus-
pended horizontally at the end of dou-
bic strings, and the best results are OBJ
tanned by striking with a hand flint
upon the sensitive spot that expert
ment has shown each stone to possess.
Some of the stones are OF curious forms.

For teaching scientific farming Rus
STA has adopted a method of its own.
The experiment station is taken TO the
farmer. and, as the best farms arc on
the great watercourses. a means of ac-
complishing this is found in floating
gardens carried on barges hundreds of
feet long. Each barge has its build
ings for professors and crew, with beds
of vegetables and grain, and working
models of ,beehives. the encouragement
of agriculture being given special atten-
ton. The floating gardens are launch
ed on the breaking up of the ice, and
as they drift down the streams the
seeds sprout, the plants gradually de-
velop, and in due time the grain ard
vegetables ripen. Stops are made at
every village. The peasants near each
place are invited on board, where they
ask questions, and are shown the plants
and given practical instruction, often
by illustrated lectures Seeds are some
times distributed TO the more enterpris-
ing.
