FUNNIER THAN ANYBODY.
Late Sir John Day a Unique Figure
on British Bench.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 11.-Sir John Day, who
died recently, was one of the most unique
he could be funnier than any man of his
time, all the more so because he rarely
smiled. His voice had sepulchral ring
in it, his face was preternaturally SOL
emn and he could assume an appearance
of impenetrable stupidity which would
have made a fortune on the stage. He
was a source of unfailing inspiration to
that gifted caricaturist. THE late Sir
Frank Lockwood.
AS a judge Sir John Day was distin-
guished in the art of sleeping in court
without losing touch with the proceed
ings. There was never any certainty
that he would not wake up suddenly and
make some disconcerting observation if
advantage was taken of his supposed I'M
consciousness. Sometimes, however. he
deliberately abandoned himself to repose.
If the case before him promised to be a
tiresome one he would inquire whether
shorthand notes were to be taken, and
having ascertained that this was to be
DONE he would compose himself to Slum-
Der.
Sir John slept through great part of
the Parnell commission, but the way in
which he occasionally opened his eyes
and looked at Sir Charles Russell during
forgotten. No one could ever say of
him that he failed to grasp a case prop
erly through not listening to it. He was
wide enough awake whenever it was nee
essary. Doubtless this gift contributed
to ST. John Days long life.

to see whether St. Sw'ithin's day will be
wet or dry.
In the country districts people are said
to be praying for wet weather, as the
crops are declared to 'be burning up"
The legend about st. Swithin's day is
that II it be wet the forty days following
it will be wet also. but if it be dry 1t will
be followed by forty days of dry weather,
according to the old verse:
st Swithins day. II it be fair.

The legend originated from the state of
the weather when the monks attempted to
remove st. Swithins remains after his
canonization. They set the 18th of July
for the removal. but it rained. and they
postponed IT, and they had to walt forty
days for their opportunity. st. Swithin
had been Bishop Of Winchester. When Inc
died he was buried in the churchyard. But
after his canonzation his remains were
transferred to the cathedral. The fact
that wet July 15 is often followed by
many days Of wet weather is the meteo-
rological foundation for this legend.

FOR. UNION OF COLONIES.
Notable Movement Of British De.

JOHANNESBURG, July 1.-THE resolu-
tons passed at the conference of the
South African colonies at Pretoria, by
which the governments of the four self
governing colonies pledge themselves to
take immediate steps for effecting union
of the four self-governing colonies. mark
a turning point in South African history.
For the first time since the unfortunate

The change which has taken place in
the interval in the conditions of South
Africa is remarkable. At that date to
meant the Cape Colony. Now 1t is not too
much to say that the center of gravity
has shifted to the Transvaal. At that
time union or federation was urged on
political and to some extent, on ,sent1-
mental grounds.
Today the position is one of urgent prac-
teal necessity. and the necessity for 1t
has come home to the minds of the large

ntical changes are tested in the first in

The decision of the conference has ex-
cited less immediate interest than its IN
trinsic Importance would deserve. because
1t was regarded almost as fOregone con-
clusion that some such step must be the
last three or four years-indeed, almost
since the Bloemfontein customs confer
ence of 1903. at which the Transvaal for
the first time came into the South African
customs union-intercOlOnial relations
