BURTS GREATER STORES,
ARTHUR BURT, 1343 F. =

Greys were to be removed, although at the
same time he believed that the indignation
meeting held in Edinburgh had done some
good by raising interest In the question as
shown by the offers which had since been
made of ground for training purposes.
Il am sighting for a land range" remark
ed Col Grant. but IT IL difficult to get the
people to back one up. There 10 plenty OF
sentiment talked. but when people are
asked to do something practical to assist
efforts made for the good Of the country
they will not do anything AS we are to be
field artillery and have got these new guns
that Mr.. Haldane spoke about in Glasgow
1 must have a land range"
He believed that Mr.. Haldanes scheme
would really be on proper lines. The bring
ing of field artillery to Edinburgh ana
Glasgow meant that the infantry and ar
tillery could be trained together. These
were the two most important arms in mod
ern warfare. and they must act in harmony
The Manchurian war had borne eloquent
testimony to this fact In deciding to hold
cavalry maneuvers in Scotland Mr. Haldane
has taken a step which would give great
impetus to the military spirit north OF the
Tweed and the patriotic action of the Duke
of AltEoll in granting facilities for the
maneuvers worthy of the highest
praise Col. Grant laid emphasis on the
need for taking the volunteers seriously.
When a young man joined the ranks in the
past he was usually fired by strong enthu-
siasm but usually in the course of year
or two. through having to work with guns
fit only for scrap heap, his enthusiasm pc
gan TO wane. and ultimately it evaporated.
No one need wonder why. The young men
of the country have never got chance to
train themselves properly. Col. Grant ex-
pressed the hope that the nation would
support Mr.. Haldane in his territorial army
scheme and said he looked forward with
the greatest interest to the Scottish ma

ANCIENT ARMLETs FOUND.
Supposed to Be Barbaric Ornaments of
Earliest Britons.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. March 2.-Workmen engaged
in sandpit at Crawford, Kent, have I'M
earthed a number of massive bracelets or
armlets of solid gold, supposed to be por-
lions Of the barbaric ornaments of ancient
British chiefs.
The superstition that the sandpit was the
burying place of the chiefs Is supported
BY the discovery of bones at the same spot
and of weapons of stone and flint close by.
The arTnlets were found at a depth of
three or four feet from the surface. Their
value in gold alone IS estimated to be from
81 800 to 5000. but their authority and
historical associations make them priceless.
They are IN perfect state of preserva-
ton, and bear inscriptions on some of the
jewels which have not yet been deciphered.
Experts are of the opinion that they date
from a period long before the Christian era.
They have been deposited at Scotland
Yard treasure trove. and are now the
property of the crown.
In May last eight similar bracelets were
found near the same spot, and the finders
received as their share of the treasure
trove a sum equal to $40. Those brace
let's are now in the British Museum.

SCOTCH HEARD OSLER
EDINBURGH STUDENTS MARVEL
OVER HIS LECTURE.
BY ALEXANDER GILMOUR.

Special Cabiegram to The Star.
GLASGOW. March 2.-Prof Osler's lee
ture to the medical students of Edinburgh
University on cerebro-spnal meningitis Is
still the subject of discussion in Scotch
medical circles. The professor mentioned
that in New York within the last two years
there had been nearly 4GO0 cases, of which
some 5000 had proved fatal. One of the
most remarkable peculiarities was that the
disease was in widely separated areas. 1t
was not pandemic. Its mortality as an
acute infection ranked it to the very high
est point. Perhaps in this respect it equal
ed the plague. They knew of no disease
which struck patient with such light
ming rapidity.
Prof Osler related a case where a man
was well at luncheon time. and being
struck by the disease was dead by IS O'Clock
the next morning very important point
was as to its communicating from one
person to another. lie considered that it
had the same low degree of conta giousness
as pneumonia. In some epidemics there
had been a number of instances which dem
onstrated clearly that the disease might be
communicated from one person to another.
He did not think that the newspapers need
alarm the public as to the prevalence of
the disease. There was widespread cpl
demic in Great Britain and no reason why
they should have it. 1t was not likely that
the disease would remain longer than this
winter season.
Treatment of Meningitis.
As regarded the treatment, he was afraid
much need not be said of a complaint which
killed 10 per cent of the cases. Still there
were certain measures of treatment which
might be carried out. and frequent hot tubs
very great comfort to the patient.
A hopeful feature was that the serum had
been prepared The disease had been cured
in monkeys and monkeys had been render
ed immune. A quantity of serum forward
I'd by Prof. Kole of Berne, who claims
that il will be efficacious in the treatment
OF disease. is now in use in several cities of
Great Britain and Ireland, and the results
of the trial are awaited with keen interest
The proposals of the special committee of
Glasgow corporation the extension of
the city boundaries have been embodied In
"A draft provisional order which is being
considered by the town council. The order
sets forth at the outset that Glasgow has a
population of over 100000, and that the in
dustries have expanded TO such an extent
that lands available for the erection of
works and dwelling houses within the city
have become limited, and persons engaged
In business in the city are unable to find
suitable accommodations within il and
therefore reside beyond the existing boun-
DIARIES. The corporation proposes to impose
upon all lands and hertages in the added
area tie same rates and assessments as
they impose in the existing city.

Charity-faith in God, hope in i'm

logical tenet of our profession, name
" a belief in divine Creator and
Ruler Of the universe. For this rea-
son we admit men Of all nations and
CT all religions who are willing to
profess this belief in Deity-call Him
by what name they may. We receive
the Mo!ammedan who declares that
Allah is God and Mohammed His
prophet. We welcome ti.e followers
of the lowly Nazarine who regard
Him as the Savior Of the world, and
we extend the hand Of brotherly love
TO our Jewish brethren who while
worshiping the same God look for a

Of the candidate for the konoYs OF
Masonry we ask, not whether he has
done great things or small, but we re-

he be possessed Of worldly wealth OF

rath of rectitude and that his life is
one of good report.

Brethren of the Mystic Tie, Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The LAYING of foundation stones is
an ancient ceremonial Of our order
and ,sually a most pleasant coca
sion OF. which Masonry appears in the

usually invisible in its effects-work-
inc like the silent forces of nature,
unseen. and like these forces it's do

globe,
To the ladies who grace this occa-
sion with their presence let me say
YOU are most welcome. Though from
the nature Of our ritualistje ceremo-
nies the doors of our lodges are clos
ed to you, the benefcent infa"nce OF
NJ Masonrv reaches out to you, and all
unknown to you its protecting arm
;s extended about you, and the breth-
rem present will testify to the fact
that womanhocd is held in higher
reverence and more abiding respect
by reason of our Masonic obligations.
And though you cannot participate
in the labors of Masonry our hearts
are ever open to you in that, you are
crowned rightfully the queen OF our
affections. There is no star in the
bright galaxy which spans the Mason
ic armament which would not bright
er shine if placed upon the bosom OF
lovely woman. Again,I bid you well
come.
To those of our friends who have
never beheld that ancient hero
glyphic bright which none but crafts
men ever saw and who have not as
vet borne the honors which Masonry
alone can bestow, let me say that ours
is a society OF friends and brothers,
the chief principle of which is en-
bodied in the fatherhood Of God and

Remember then that your lives are
the mirror in which Masonry is view
ed by the community in which you
live. Its honor and reputation so far
as your sphere of influence extends,
are in your hand. See to it then that
no discredit is brought upon the
grand institution which has bestowed
its benefits upon you and that your
brethren may never have reason to
regret your coming amongst them
You have an opportunity which is
great in its possibilities for usefulness,
in extending the influence of Masonry
establishing it in public regard, and
Strengthening it 50 that your neigh
