ONCE MORE.

Bernard Shaw doesn't seem to be afraid to say what he thinks, or what he wants to have it thought that he thinks He has just tackled the ten commandments, which he calls danger ous and undesirable. For example, he takes the commandment Thou shalt not kill" and says of it; My opinion is We don't kill people enough. We con- fine our killing too much to foreigners. There are large classes of people in the community who ought to be killed. Every citizen ought every few years to be brought before a public board and asked if he could justify his existence. If he could not make 1t clear that he did as much for the community as the community did for him he ought to be sent 10 the lethal chamber.
 Probably MT, Shaw will not succeed in abolishing the ten commandments. or any of them. And perhaps if Thou shalt not kilr' were abolished he wouldn't be allowed to live long enough to feel much pleased. Meanwhile. he is getting the reward of merit. In speech at Manchester Winston Churchill. par liamentary secretary of the colonial of flee, referred to MT. shaw's speech on the ten commandments. He likened MT. Shaw to a volcano, throwing out a deal of smoke, large clouds of inflam- mable gas, here and there brilliant flashes, and also huge volumes of scala ing water, mud and ashes, among which now and then was a piece of pure gold. It was not very large volcano, MT. Churchill said, although it was con- stantly erupting.

4 NEW PACE SET.

Britannia intends to continue to rule the wave. Her Admiralty has sur prised some other ambitious and war like people with the announcement that the three so-called armored cruisers building on the Clyde are not cruisers at all, but battleships, with as heavy broadside fire as the Dreadnought, and of four knots greater speed. Indeed, these three vessels will actually be seven knots faster than any American, German or French battleships, as a speed of 27 knots Is confidently expect ed on their trials. Only one or two of our battleships can make 20 knots; the bulk of them average r under service conditions.
 Now the other ambitious and warlike nations, including the United States, will have to spend many millions to keep up with, or within hailing dis tance of, the British ships. We'll, we can afford it, and that is more than some of the ambitious and warliko na- tions can say.

LOOKING up AND GOING Up.

This is world of change. Silver is looking up, and it is not only looking up, but going up. After the failure of the Bryan propaganda the owners of silver mines were naturally discourag- ed. Silver promised to be drug in the market, and the cry was all for gold. As a result of this new gold fields were opened in various localities and old ones were more industriously worked. And now the inevitable result has occurred. Gold Is being produced in record break ing quantities, and threatens to be an unstable standard, while there is a lar ger demand for silver than there has been for several years.
 The United States is in the market again as purchaser of silver bullion, although at one time 1t seemed as if we could never use up all the metal that had been accumulated in the treasury vaults. But 1t is not the United States alone that is responsible for the demand for silver. Mexico is short of 1t, hay ing sold considerable quantity of pesos a few months ago for the sake of adding to it's store of gold India has been increasing it's surplus bullion hoard, and Russia and a number of other countries have suddenly become greedy for larger stocks of the once de- spised metal
 Silver is now selling for about 71 cents a fine ounce. Perhaps the ratio of thir- ty-two to one wont always hold.

Estimates received at the Navy de- pertinent of the effect of the new law placing restrictions upon recruiting of ficers so they may not accept applicants without positive written proof that such candidates are twenty-one years old show that the interference with re- cruiting amounts to a 30 per cent loss of men who would be regarded as eli- glble under the old conditions. This requirement. of law was fastened upon the naval system at the last session of congress as the result of the criticism of the Navy department for having ac- cepted recruits who were under twenty one years of age. In most cases it is apparent that man has attained his majority, but even in such instances the recruiting officer must not depend upon appearances; he must get the documen- tary evidence, and in many cases this is impossible. The loss to the navy in its enlisted force is serious, and it is probable that the department next year will seek a remedy.

cases are treated generally. This is the reason why cases of obsession are so numerous in India. Indeed, they are so frequent in this country that there are many rojas (exorclsts) who live by curing obsessed men and women. What IS more, in India there is hospital for obsessed people, a unique institu- ton, the like of which is not to be seen in any other part of the world. This hospital is a temple in the holy place called Hari Hareshwar in Ko- cond in south India. There possessed men and women are carried, and they are sent back cured.

q One of the gravest perils which fire tfghters are constantly facing is the fierce heat. After successful trials a newly invented heat veil" has been in- troduced into practice at Cologne Ger many, where two hundred men have been supplied with the appliance. The veil is made after the principle of a safety lamp, with double windows. It is composed of flores of cane, which possess the peculiar property of retain- ing water for considerable length of time. The veil is made damp before being fastened to the flreman's ordinary brass helmet.

PRANK OF OLD-TIME BOYS.
Played with the Pew Doors of the
Church of the Early
Style.

Long, long ago church pews were
made with very high backs, and tall
doors guarded the entrances to them.
Wood, then as now, expanded and
contracted with the weather, especially
on damp, rainy days would these doors
stick in a most annoying way. No
special trouble was noticed from this
cause because many Of the doors were
left open, thus giving the pew frames
a chance to give way a little. Only a
slight tug or pull was necessary when
the good folks assembled for service
on Sunday mornings. Some lads no.
ticed that if all the doors were shut
the whole line would be so tightly
pressed together that 1t would require
the utmost strength of a man to open
the doors. When were boys without
mischief? Not within the memory of
man. These boys got into church be.

bined strength succeeded in closing
everv door. Then they awaited devel-
opments. One sedate c~hurch-goe1
after another, after a struggle and an
unbecoming redness of face, tried to
enter through his pew door. 1t did not
yield until a ripping squeak or a noise
bang disturbed the quietness of the
place. The boys eve after remem-
bered the expanding power of wood
and the story is told to impress that
fact instead of putting mischief into
boys heads. Pews are not made that
any longer, so there is a slight
chance of the experiment being tried
in our generation.

Thigh Bones in Whales.

Snakes are not the only animals
which exhibit the possession of rudi-
mentary hind limbs. In the whale
tribe there is no evidence externally
of hind limbs. The fore limbs in them
are converted into the clippers" or
swimming paddles. Yet, when the
skeleton is examined, traces of a
haunch and attached rudimentary
thigh bones are found. There is de-
veloped in certain kinds of whales a
bony piece representing the haunch;
the thigh bone is distinct, but thsre is
a mere rudiment attached to 1t, repre-
senring the shin bone or tibia of othe,
