a complaint and the lieutenant, it was
decided, should be tried by court

The matter came to the ears of the
kaiser, who, considering that sufficient
severity had not been exercised. re-
quested the resignation of all of the
superior officers of the regiment, in
Guiding the colonel himself The lieu
tenant had meanwhile gone to England.
He has now returned, and has been
sentenced to seven months imprison-
ment. His brother, who saw him off at
Berlin, has been dismissed from the

Special Gable to The Herald.

LONDON, April 2S-Londoners have
just discovered it is possible to send a
person to his destination by post In
deed, it is a privilege which has been
open to the public for some time, but
the postoffice is not the only organiza-
tion that delivers people when required.
The district messenger company does
quite a thriving business in guiding
strangers and children about London.
On Thursday the company's lads could
be seen at nearly all the big railway
stations meeting school boys coming
home for the holidays and conducting
them safely to the parental roof. An
other afternoon a sprucely dressed
young woman was being piloted
through the maze of traffic by a we'll
set up messenger boy, who must have
been at least corporal from his car
riage, and who evidently was proud of
his charge.

PARIS, April 2S.-Paris artists have
started an agitation to secure from the
government a concession of walled
space in the public park at st. Cloud
with permission to have nude models
pose therein for their pictures They
complain that without such facilities as
this all paintings must become mawk-

spired and uninspiring. They contend
that without the reality of the outdoor
background and the presence of nature
no great originality can be developed
and no advance hoped for along the
lines to which impressionism pointed
the way The chances of success in

LONDON, April 2S.-The automobile
is blamed for new woe to the human
race. A doctor sends to the Daily
Mail the following dismal prediction:
II venture to prophesy that in the
next quarter of a century the degene-
rating of physical health will increase
from consumption, diphtheria, tonsili-
tbs and other diseases OF the nose,
throat and respiratory organs. Again,
the eyesight of the people is seriously
ieopardized by the amount of dust and
noxious matters spread about by auto
mobiles.
Danger in Sun Dried Dust
Sunlight may to a certain extent
disable the microbe, but to certain
extent only, and sun dried dust has
been proved by experiment to be ca
pable of producing disease when in
hailed by animals The chances are

sharp, flinty particles, causes smaii

"In regard to the eye the same dam

has not been caused by simple grit,

Blame the Motor Bus
Excessive drought. of course, causes
no end of dust with the usual conse-
ouences of epidemic of sore throat A
year or two ago advocates of the motor
bus argued that when the horsed vehl-
cles were driven off the streets there
would be no more of that offensive
dust, the streets would be cleaner ana
there would be no more throat diseases.
It is observed, however, that the dust
is increasing with the advance OF the
motor bus, and householders complain
of the destruction of upholstery and
house agents are angry, for the dust
nuisance, together with the noise and
vibration, is decimating the reslden-
tial tenants of upper floors along the
motor bus routes.
