England has surrendered 524 square
miles of her territory to the waves with

Gently the advance of the waters has
been much more rapid, averaging for the
last forty years 1923 acres a year. The
ravages of the sea in 1903 was almost
unprecedented. Many historical towns,
such as Ravensburgh, where Henry ".
landed in 1889, have been submerged.
Off the Yorkshire coast alone there are
twelve submerged towns and villages.
Between Marlborough head and Kiln

been devoured since the Roman invasion.
The erosion here is so continuous thar
the outline of the coast is never the

is an anchorage off Selsey, Sussex, still
called THE Park" because it was Il

meval times the goose has acted this lie.
The primeval goose mother, sitting on
her eggs i'll Il place of reeds and sedge,
would not fly when an intruder APP

amid the leaves, she would stretch out
her long, flexible neck and hiss wickedly.

in front of you, trailing one wing as
though it were broken. You follow; you

Richter's Conducting.

Countless are the stories told of the
geniality of DR.. Hans Richter, who, to
the delight of music lovers, has consent
ed to conduct the forthcoming London
symphony concerts. A short time ago,
while rehearsing a Mozart symphony in
which the first violins had number OF
delicate trils and turns to perform,
these were played too heavily for Rich
ter, who said: please, gentlemen, plan
issimo! Queen Mab-not suffragettes'
Again, when on one occasion Richter
was not thoroughly satisfied with the
orchestra rendering of a scene from
Tristan and Isolde he stopped the re-
hearsal and asked for more dignity IN
the playing, adding that Isolde was the
daughter of a king, not of cook. On
another occasion, while rehearslng
Tschaikowsky's Romeo and Juliet
music, the violincellos have a very pas
sionate melody to play. Richter was by
no means satisfied that the needtul
warmth of expression had been OBJ,
tanned. Gentlemen, gentlemen" said
he you all play like married men, not
like lovers"

AS there are several kinds of poison
Gus fungi which very closely resemble

venture to make use OF an unfamiliar
variety. 1t is claimed that reliable
test for distinguishing the eatable va

salt on the spongy part. which will turf
yellow if a poisonous growth. The eat
able varietyis pink underneath and white
on top. and the skin will peel off easily
but it sticks to the poisonous ones; and
