In the meantime, the storm struck our
camp with great force. Almost before
we knew it We found ourselves in the
midst of terrific thunderstorm with
flashes of lightning apparently on every
side Of us. The old guard formed in
line with bayonets fixed. and as they
did 80 there came vivid flash of
lightning, which struck their guns. One
member of the guard was killed and
the others We're stunned. Others Of
the guns were thrown nearly thirty
feet, the bayonets sticking in the
ground. One gun had drop Of metal
melted on the barrel. Thirty-six Of
the men were knocked down and many
of them were found to be badly burned
or crippled. We carried them in blan.

The Golden Fleece

The King of Spain has conferred the
order Of the Golden Fleece on the
Prince Of Wales. The boy King is de
facto one of the grand masters Of an
order which was instituted, at Bruges
by Philip, Duke Of Burgundy. who was
styled 1.-The Good" as far back as Feb.
ruary 10, 1929. The other grand mas
ter of the order is, Of course, the En-
perOr of Austria. The Fleece went to
the Hapsburgs ''by arrangement" af.
ter the death of Charles of Burgundy,
the fighting Temeraire," in 1417, by
the marriage Of Mary of Burgundy
with the Archduke Macmillan. after
wards Emperor Of Germany. So it got
to Spain. When the line of the Span
ish Hapsburgs had become extinct,
Austria claimed the sole grand master
ship. and diplomacy had to intervene.
In the result, the grand mastership be-
came dual affair. To wear the Golden
Fleece Of Austria you must be sover-
eign, a prince Of reigning house, or
n most illustrious noble. Presumably,
you must also profess the old religion.
On the latter point Spain is less exact.

FIRST BORN LONG LIVED.
Oldest Me m bers of Families Tarry the
Longest on This Earth

II Is perhaps nothing new TO some,
but will interest others. to learn that
the first-bOrn OF parents have much
longer average of life than their broth
ers and sisters who come after them.
This fact is demonstrated by statistics
collected by life insurance companies
Longevity is also said to he hereditary
Said an insurance man the other day:
Some persons have harder constitu-
tons than others and they are apt to
transmit them to their children. A man
both of whose parents were long lived
has promise Of Il good old age him
self. This. of course. is an old story.
A much less familiar principle affect
ing the duration of life has been pre-
sented by Miss Mary Beeton. of Cam
bridge. and Professor Karl Pearson. of
London. in a brief periodical called
Biometrika
"A comparison was made between
the lengths of the lives OF two adult
brothers or two adult sisters to ascer-
tain if there was a perceptible differ
ence between the older and younger
members of a pair. The figures here
given represent the average of oyer
1000 cases. and hence would seem to
point to general law. 1t may be
added that the particular persons un-
der investigation belonged to the So
ciety of Friends. That organization
placed its records at the disposal Of
AIise nd
1T thus appears that the average age
of the elder brothers was JS.56 years,
the younger brothers. 54575; the elder
sisters, 59.924. and the younger sisters,
55.661. There is a difference of over
four years in favor of the older brother
or sister. This does not signify that
the older brother or sister will survive
the younger. The mean interval be-
tween the births of all the pairs under
consideration was about six and half
years. Hence the older brother or Sis
ter would ordinarily die first, though
attaining greater age.
The first inquiry here mentioned
was limited to pairs, the younger men,
bers Of which had attained the age of
q. A second comparison was made
that included minors with adults. II
gave results closely resembling the
other. The mean excess of life in
1856 pairs was 4.6 years. But the in
tervals between the births appears to
exert some influence BiOmetrika's
contributors furnish formula by
which ones expectations can be COM
puted and adds: Thus brother born
ten years before another brother has
probably seven years greater duration

another sister has probably about six
years greater duration of life
