dent Falieres Intends to retire has beor
received with universal regret. 1t is
not confirmed as yet, but those near te
the peasant president are inclined te
credit it.
The general impression seems to be that

| the presidency. There are many points
In common between the two men. Both
are severely simple in thoir tastes, have
| great comnonSenSe and tact.
NJ, BRAND can spend whole days. rod

side or on his garden bank on the Lake
tract him are in West Brittany. He
brings his angling vocabulary into po-
| iitiGal life., a maxim he often uses in
trying TO keep down the impatience of
colleagues for strong-fisted action is:
Before one tries to land a big fish with
I've weak 1 roo. one must drown it." An
cabulary,. Is: III you give all possible
freedom to unruly tongues they will soon
| Tire out. You may then take them to

He has no paternal fortune. To remain
an honest man he must be economical.

self.
President Fanicres is one of the most

president.
He was mot by his old friend the viii
lago priest. who Lim!dly addressed him as
Monsieur le President"
Look here said Falliores, with mock
se1olsness. IF you dare to address, me
again as M. le President 1 will have YOU
expelled from Loupillon! And now en-
brace me-" with which remark he kissed
the old priest, French fashion, on both
his checks,

Time by Wireless.
Acting upon the suggestion Of two
members of a scientific society. Captain
Guyon and NJ de Ia Grye, the French gov

scheme for supplying all ohronometers at

first trial took place with ships at Brest.

The same method is to be followed at
noon and at midnight. Captains at sea

longitude may be computed almost in
