moment the strong face of the man
relaxed as if in amusement at his own

once more resumed its expression of

COLLAPSE OF LONDON'S RINK
 ING BOOM.

England has another "grC uch" against America. The bottom is dropping out of the roller skating craze. During the two years of the boom some $40 rinks have been built $l2,000 000 Every week in London now brings the announcement of the bankruptcy of one of these establish ments. Panic stricken investors are counting up their losses.
 The cursed idea was Yankee" and so were the people who introduced it. The craze was started by an Am erican group-who knew when to get out. The idea was taken up by the English-who didn't. Everybody who could get hold of a cheap bit of land put up a shed, named it the Royal or Imperial or Cosmopolitan Skating Palace and assumed that the early easy profits would continue. They didn't.
 The Westminster Gazette, which warned the British investing public that the snap was too good to con tinue, sings a little elegy over the slump and inferentially chides the reapers from abroad. When there is fleece there must be lambs. When there are lambs the chorus of their lamentations must be expected The unpleasant experience detailed above is English. but the general moral is as applicable in one part of the world as in another-ChicagO Record Herald

LORDLY FORMAllTlES.
Preparing a New Peer for His Seat
 in House of Lords.

Numerous fOrmalities have to be gone through before any of the seven new peers will be able to take their seats in the house of lords.
 One of the most important matters is the preparation of the patent, a long strip of parchment, to the end of which is affixed the wax seal, the color of which varies according to the rank of the new member. An other item is the robe. made of scar let cloth with three doublings of er- mine, the number of bars varying ac- cording to rank Thus a duke has four bars in front and the same num- Der behind. a marquis one less, and so on
 Then there are preparations in re- gard to making or changing coats of arms, in connection with which fees to the extent of about 50 guineas are paid by the recipient of summons to the house of lords.
 Altogether the financial disburse- ments amount in the case of a new earl to be between six and seven hun dred pounds, some of which finds it's way to the chancellor of the eX- chequer and some, to the crown as represented by the college of arms. A considerable portion of this eX- penditure is, of course, incurred in the purchase of the coronet.-LOndon Daily News.
