a 4<0noons Apru 1S.-hink 1oWhfu ie receiving daily reports on the, progress of th ework upon his new yacht which 1s being built on the Clyde. and which VIII be the speediest royal yacht in the world.
 A novel feature of the vessel sug- Go1ted by the King himself, who is an ardent automobilist, is a floating gar are, accommodating two automobiles, while there will be facilities for run ming the machines straight on board without the use of derricks or slings.
 It is the intention of the King to use the "Alexandra" as the vessel Is nam a In honor of the Queen, for coast- wise trips wit hfrequent calls ashore. e that combined yachting cruise ana auto tour may be made. The yacht is nw2llsr than the Victoria and Albert but is even more luxuriously fitted up.
 May Lecture Soldiers.
 Al did recently the Kaiser. King Ed ward may soon have to read his army and navy officers a lesson because or their sybaritic tendencies which threat eue to render many of them unit for active service in case of war.
 They are now kept so hard at work that they have no time for sport and consequently find their relaxation in lining luxuriousIy at fashionable res- tAurants and spending cVehihss s' '"S atres and music halls.
 This is quite a revolution In the habits of officers, who before the army was taken so seriously and worked SO hard, had plenty of time for hunting. polo, cricket and other sports. The average young officer now finds 1t diff fIcult to arrange for even a single days sport and because, as he puts 1t, s.he canno tput his back into" these pursuits he seeks less healthy pleas ures.
 Many ofiicers now run up to London from Aldershot to spend the evening about the West End because they can not ret a days leave for their favorite sport Ever since the Boer war duty and study have made increasing claims on their time. leaving a very small margin for recreation. Hence comes the curious result that harder work sends the officer to softer play.
 Improvement on Ships.
 Ships that do not rock are promised 8chIfck, which was explained by Sir william White, ex-chief constructor to the Royal Navy in a paper read at the Institution of Naval Architects.
 The invention takes the form of a gyroscope. or huge spinning top, placed in a compartment of the vessel for ward of the boilers. Its effect is to do away with the rocking altogether but the pitching Is not affected.
 Tried on board a torpedo boat. the apartus made the waves seem to~<1is- appear under her. aSd she rose with gentle motion vertically upwards. and sank again as gently into the trough of the ses."
 The invention is particularly suited to small sea- going steamers such as the boats that cross the channel where the sea nearly always is choppy. AL though the rocking motion is prevent ed the invention will not materially re- lieve the pangs of mal-de-mer. since the main cause of this unpleasant sick ness is the pitching of the vessel. Her movements were shrouded in mystery but he managed to discover that she had been taken to this city. Of course he came too and every night since her first appearance at the Hip uodrome he sat in the front row of one of the boxes.
 One evening he stood up and de- ciared his passion to the giantess while she was on the stage. He was re- quested to be quiet, and afterwards was refused admission to the hall.
 The indefatigable giant lover discov- cred somehow that a clause In Miss Mariedl's contract required that she should be taken for an airing in an automobile every Sunday. He resolved to pursue her in another auto, and overlook her on the Portsmouth Road. There in spite of her managers hostile attitude towards MT. Darrill an in- troduction was effected between the gigantic pair and they lunched togeth-
