Lord Galloway

Indignation and bitterness has been
aroused in Wigtownshire by the unusual
demand OF Lord Galloway TO exact a years
rent from all the owners OF property who
have leased land from him. The demand is
legal. but it is founded upon musty old
statutes II insisted on 1t is reckoned that
half the people will be unable to meet IT,,
and the other half win be pinched in many
ways for years to come. a memorial was
sent TO Lord Galloway. as a result Of the
properties constituted the sole income Of
some Of the feuafs. and in many cases the
full rent was required for their actual
subsistence; and, further that practically
all the property held was more or less
bonded. and in many instances there is a
small margin Of rent left after paying
the interest on bonds. They also pointed
out to him that if he insisted upon the
exaction Of the present claims, industries
and private individuals would be plunged
into bankruptcy.

NIAGARA FALLS oUTCLASSED
British Writer Compares American
Cataract with south African
Wonder.

q, One is often asked by South Africans
how the Victoria falls compare with
Niagara To my mind. the Victoria falls
are far the more beautiful II is true
that the volume OF water at Niagara is
greater. The broad, rushing river above
the cataract and the fierce speed Of the
heaped-up narrows below impress one with
a sense Of tremendous power. But man
marks the earth with ruin" Some Of the
surroundings OF Niagara are distressing
10 the eye. The tame, cultivated country,
the electric power works, the crowded no
tells the artificial gardens, the fIaring ad-
vertisements, all combine to spoil one Of
natures grandest works, In Africa there
is nothing VI the kind. The work Of ma
ture is left almost untouched, There is a
railway bridge. but it is from most points
invisible. and It Is nowhere a great dis
figurement The unbroken forest stretches
away on all sides Just as God made It.
You may wander for hours about the falls
and never see human being or trace
OF mans handiwork Then the body OF
water, though not so great as at Niagara
is stir immense; the height OF the fall is
more than twice as great; and the way
In which the river Is split up by wooded
islands and rocks adds much to the beauty
OF the picture. So does the contrast be-
tween the calm, broad reach above and
the sudden plunge and thunder OF the
chasm. SO do the far-rising columns OF
smoke. Perhaps al some time long ago
Niagara may have been as beautiful as
the falls OF the Zambesi. To my minds.

church at Motril, Spain Sunday. The
priest, Father Faraquit, had occasion to
speak frankly and severely to his congre-

tered him to death. Then they drew the
body through the streets amid the shouts
of the inhabitants. Gendarmes, who came
