There are almost as many kinds Of
Parliament as there are races which
elect them. Some are amazingly anti
quated in their methods of procedure,
while others are as go-ahead as it is
possible to be- On the continent, how
ever, more or less of a family likeness
exists between the Parliaments of the
various great powers. though in the
lesser states there are many interest
ing and distinctive methods of govern
ment- One of the most remarkable in
stances of these existing today is the
'sLandsgemeinde" of the canton OF
Glarus, in Switzerland.
The government of no Swiss canton
by the people is more absolute than in
that of Glarus, where the burghers as
semble annually to hold their outdoor
Parliament in a large square-usuaIly
on the first Sunday in May, weather
permitting. The honored president oc-
cupies a platform in the middle of the
square. There are places fc< boys
around this platform, the young idea
thus being taught early how to legis-
late wisely and well for its beloved
cGnntry. Altogether the '.Landsge
meinde'' is one of the most quaint and
ideal little Parliaments in existence.

swift RIrd. nd F,sbe..

The worlds swiftest travellers are
found in the air and water. They are
the birds and the fishes. Carrier
pigeons have been known to attain a
speed of ninety miles an hour. Wild
pigeons often fly hundreds of miles in
a day to feed and return to their roost
at night. Audubon estimated that they
travelled at the rate of mile minute.
Migrating birds fly over great distances
and therefore must have great strength
as well as speed. Bobolinks often rear
their young on the shores of the north
ern lakes and then spend their winters
in Cuba and Porto Rico. To do this
they must twice cover a distance of
nearly 5000 miles or more than one
fifth the circumference of the earth.
The humming bird travels fully 1000
miles a year and many other small
birds exceed this distance.
The racers of the water are the sal
mon and swordfish. Only a running
horse could outstrip a salmon for it
can swim a mile in less than two min
utes and keep this up for some time
The salmon is also noted for its leap
ing ability, having been known to lear
up waterfalls II feet high. 1t prepares
for a jump, just as a boy does, with q
short, sharp run. If the water at the
foot of the fall is not deep enough tc
allow this run, the leap cannot be
made.

Lord Salisbury is not generally ac-

he would be able to reflect with pride
that now he has been prime minister
CT the United Kingdom for longer
period than any statesman since the
first reform bill-in fact, ever since the
Earl of LiverpooPs famous administra-
ton of nearly fifteen years came to an
end in 1927. Mr.. Gladstone was prime
minister on four occasions, his tenure
of the office lasting in all twelve years
and 141 days, and that is the record
which the marquis has now beaten. 1t
is interesting to reflect that, while Mr..
Gladstone's leadership was spread over
twenty-six years. Lord Salisbury first
became prime minister less than six
teen years ago.
In the eighteenth century Sir Robert
Walpole was prime minister from 1721
to 1872 at a stretch and had been at
the head of the government for two
years on a previous occasion. William
Pitt was prime minister from 1888 to
1901, and again from 1904 to 1906. Lord
North had twelve years, from 1870 to
1882. At the other end of the scale,
Canning was prime minister for only
134 days, and was followed by five
others from 1927 to 1886 who only aver
aged about sixteen months Office
apiece.

The coming coronation Of King Ed
ward of England naturally calls atten-
ton to a piece of red sandstone which
is embedded in the coronation chair In
Westminster Abbey. and which Is val
ued SO highly that many learned men
have predicted the downfall of the
English should anything happen to it,
writes John De Morgan
The antiquity of this stone, which Is
known as Liza Fail, or stone of destiny.
is not doubted. 1t is admitted that Ed
ward /. remoxed it from Scone, in Scot
land, to Westminster Abbey, in which
place it has been ever since
On searching among the records OIL
the past, separating what undoubtedly
might be termed fable from fact, we
find that the stone was sent from Ire
land to Scotland in the sixth century
for the coronation of Fergus MacEarca,
who was of the Milesian race. and from
that time to the reign of Edward at me
end of the thirteenth century, it re-
manned in Scotland and was used at the
coronation of the Scottish Kings.
In the early years of the sixth CEN
fury Mutogh MacEarca, the reign1ng
monarch of Ireland. had a brother,
Fergus, who became chief, or king OF
the Irish colonies and settled in the
colony later known as Scotland In Or
der to impress the people with his
right to govern over them and at the
same time to satisfy his own con-
science that he was the rightful king,
he asked his brother to send over the
stone of destiny, that he might be
crowned upon it, thus giving him Sc
curity upon the throne. After the
stone was taken from Tara, in ireland,
to Scotland, it remained for long
time at the monastery of st. Columkii1,
at Iona, in the Hebrides. Thence 1t
was taken to Dunstaffnage. in Argyles-
shire, the earliest royal residence of the
Irish kings of Scotland, and in the
ninth century it was removed to Scone,
whence Edward l., in 1926, removed 1t
to Westminster
Long before the time of Fergus on
Murtogh the kings of Ireland. both OF
the Tuatha-de-Danu and Milesian race,
had been crowned on the same stone.
The Tuatha-de-Danaus are said to have
carried the stone with them to Ire
land and these people had lived several
centuries in Ireland before they were
