London, May 15.-The freedom of the plumbers company was present. ed to Andrew Carnegie al the Guild hall in valuable casket of various metals. Replying to the presenta- tion address, Mir. Carnegie declared he thought it more difficult to con- seientiouSly distribute wealth than to acquire it. 1t is the swimming tenth. and not the submerged tenth which We can greatly benefit" said he. Any satisfaction which he had derived from his gifts arose from what he had induced individuals and communities To give.

GHOSTS IN WESTMINSTER
Explanation of Two Instances of An parent spparitions in the
 English Palace

The death of Sir Archibald Nilman inevitably reviveS the stories current few months ago of the apparition of Lady Milman when she herself was alleged to have met death in certain corridor in the apartment occupied by her in Speakers court of the pal. ace of Westminster. The origin of those stories. writes a cores pendent l had from Sir Archibald himself dur. ing the last few days of his life Open- ing onto the corridor in question there were two doors. One of them was made partly of glass, and. with the rest Of the dark corridor behind it. 1t nat urallY had much the same effect as mirror. Anyone coming out of the other door was reflected in this glass door. which was placed in such a re- latiou to the staircase that anyone ascending the stairs would see the re- fection before he saw the person re- feeted. On two or three occasions Lady Milman Was going out of her own boudoir when some che going mp the staircase saw her reflection. and mo- ment CT two later saw Lady MHmap herself. and her approach To the glass door naturally suggested the two fig ures approaching each other in some what uncauny manner, says the Lon. don Chronicle.
 The second ghost story was to the | effect that Lady Milman's wrath was seen entering the drawing-room while Lady Milman was out. Equally re- markable is the explanation of this fact. Lady Milman is q very tall wom- an, and her daughters are equally tall. On one occasion a friend entered the house just as she drove up to the door in carriage. As he aScended the staircaS leaeing to the drawing-room he looked up and saw very tall woman go quietly three or four steps down the corridor and enter the drawing room. Locking from below the tall figure suggested very closely that of Lady Milman. who herself entered the drawing a moment after the visitor He had seen Lady Mlman, as he thought. precede him, and his sur prise was natural when she greeted him from behind. IL is out of these two facts. and these two facts alone, that the house of commons, and, in- deed. the whole country was assured that there were ghosts in Westmins'

Altitude of Ducks Flight.

The wild duck, the hawk and the se" gull while in flight over long distances usually remain at an altitude of from GOO to 1,4OO feet. If they pass oelo" the level of the highest flying kite ,' = a tandem line the fact is easily uis cerned by allowing for persPee.liY,r.
