lision seems inevitable, yet apparently by mutual consent two of the birds turn aside with sharp flick of the wing, and the third catches his prey with a downward flash. His gray back shimmers in the sunshine, a moment and he is lost to sight again, indistin- guishable in the swirling mass.
 some of the birds are tame enough to stand upon the parpet on the Elm bankment and pick up crumbs while men stand by and watch. But the weather is not yet severe enough to have taught them all fearlessness. For the present they wait until the food is thrown out to them. over the dancing water, with which at least they are thoroughly familiar.-From the London Daily News.

Queen Maud of Norway Is fond of collecting bits of ivory. The specimens she most prizes are tusks of elephants shot by her father, King Edward, and by the duke of Connaught She also has some tusks of wild boars which were shot by the czar. Her collection was large one, and represents the hunting trips of many royal friends.

The army medical officers are much impressed with the work which has been done with the galloping ambu- lance, vehicle used in the British army and lately under test in the American service. Eight of these new ambulanees, each to be drawn by a single horse, have been ordered by the quartermaster-g general and are to be sent to the various posts where cavalry troops are on duty. It is expected that greater speed can be obtained with this vehicle than with any other type of ambulance, in addition to which quality it is so constructed as to withstand the shock and jar of rapid transit over rough country. One of these galloping ambulances will be sent to China as soon as it is ready, and will be subject ed to severe tests in that island. The army surgeons, however, are perfectly

James Boyle, formerly United States consul in Liverpool for eight years, wrtes to the New York Tribune that Sir Alfred Jones, whose inhumanity at Kingston was complained of so bitter ly, is Liverpoors most prominent cit- zen and the man most beloved in the city; with abounding generosity and tenderness of heart, and without par- tlcle of prejudice against Americans. He describes the burdens and responsi- biljties devolving upon him at Kings ton, where he had to entertain upon his ship not only the large party of tourists which he had brought over, but all the guests from two of his hotels which had been demolished, and also cites examples of Sir Alfreds great and efficient work for the relief of all whom he could reach MT. Boyle thinks the charges are false, or at least congregations of incidents due to the existing conditions, and holds that Sir Alfred is incapable of the callousness imputed to him.

All isn't quite right in Cuba yet. A southern Methodist bishop just back from Cuba, Dr. Warren G. Candler, tells an Atlanta paper that the late in- surrectos should not have been permit ted to retain the stolen horses in their possession at the time of the Taft paci- d1cation. "A gentleman in Cienfuegos," he relates, told me that he had a fine stallion on his stock farm for which he paid $500. A negro took his horse and rode away, and ever since has had the animal in his possess ion, and the orig inal owner cannot recover his property or get an adequate payment for his loss. He sees his horse every day, but cannot touch the animal This is only one of hundreds of similar cases"

A mysterious disease is troubling the Dutch medical profession. It has brok- en out in the district of Ouddorp, not far from Utrecht, and Professor spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best efforts he can devise, has had to con- fess himself perplexed. The disease is contagious affection of the heart, and the patients invariably develop high fever. There have been more than one hundred cases. Professor Spronck has made careful analysis of blood taken from patients, but has utterly failed to find a cause or an origin for the epi- denic, Perhaps it is love.
