 .I felt that I was permanently de- tached from earth and swimming about in space I did not want to descend, but to continue to float in the ether for ever. Presently glanced at my barometer. I was g174 feet in the air My motor had stopped: wanted to ascend still higher, but 1t was impossible. Even the moment of involuntary descent knew that the record was beaten, and that had gone higher in a heavier-than-air machine than any human being had ever done before.

It is agreed that something must be done to meet the de- mand for the abolition of the house of lords. Many members of that institu- ton are now convinced that they must make some concession if they are to be suffered to exist as a branch of the gov ernrnent. It Is possible, as was suggest ed some time ago, that the government may present bill providing for leg islative division of the government simi- lar to that prevailing in the United States. That means that the colonies and dependencies would be treated as the sep arate American states are, each having a home parliament or legislature, and each to have representatives in the imperial parliament. A measure of that kind would ensure the colonies and dependen- cies home rule. Ireland, Scotland and India would be the principal beneficaries. Ireland in particular.

Irrigation is just about as bad as no lr-

The surface drain and the bottom drain
are important factors: The time will
soon be at hand, said Mr.. Mcpherson,
when the law will say to the grower
that he may not wantonly waste water.
and, in View of the approach OF that
hour, the grower must know just how
much water he wants.
