The list Of Wears at Eastbourne
parish church dates back to l244. one
of Canon Goodwyn's predecessors be-
ing Rev Henry Lushington, D. T.,
representative Of the family Of which
the late Sir Godfrey Lushington was
a member, says the Church Family
Newspaper. This Doctor Lushington,
of whom there is a memorial in the
church, had a son who was one of the
survivors of the tragedy of the Black
Hole Of Calcutta, and who was bar
barously murdered few years later
by native rebels in India A curious
feature Of Eastbourne parish church
is that the chancel is out of rec
tilinear, being inclined somewhat to
the south II is possible that this is
a suggestion of the inclination of our
Lords head upon the cross. One of
the most interesting antiquities of the
church is an eastern sepulchre in
which in pre-Reformation times the

CADGING IS COMMON

of life, particularly amongst the upper
classes.
The case of the guardsman who
would borrow money from a woman
has it's parallel in higher circles Of
society" said a well known city man.
THE young, lazy, neer-do-well who
is we'll educated, but lives on his
friends and relations, practises just
the same kind of meanness as this
particular Scots guardsman.
His acts, however, are gilded over
by good manners and polish. He
cadges money from his friends-he
calls it loan-but never intends to
pay it back.
"The ultimate end of this cadging
creature is that he is packed off to
the colonies by his people, where he
becomes a remittance mana gentle
man of leisure, who is paid by remit
tances sent out from home to keep
away from home.
"In South Africa, Australia and
Canada the number of remittance
men is always increasing.
Where does the fault lie? What
is wrong with our system of education
that it breeds such men?
I'm my opinion, there is too much
softness and kindness in the public
schools and home life of the present
day.
Men who live on somebody else
and complain that they do not know
what to do with themselves are the
products of this gentle system of edu-
cation"
There are various forms of cadg-
ing" said West End clubman who is
keenly interested in all social prob
lens. Men nowadays do not hesi-
tate to accept presents in the form of

URBAN CENTER PLAN HAILED
Proposal Of Director Durand 70 Dlsre'
gard Geographical Lines Would
Swell Gotham.

New York.-The proposal Of the
director Of the census that in futu5e
publications on city population urban
centers shall be used as the proper
units instead of the arbitrary poliu-
cal divisions indicated by city boun-
Diary lines is one that appeals strong
ly to New York, for II gives hope Of
enabling the city to surpass London
and to claim first place among all
the cities Of the world.
Although this city has spread out
almost evenly in all directions, its
westward growth never has shown in
the census returns because It has
been beyond the boundary line OF
New Jersey.
Under the new plan all the popula-
tion in the urban area Of each large
city, as determined by the experts OF
the census bureau, would be credited
to that city. This would add about a
million to the present official popula-
tion of Greater New York, giving 1t
5,S00,000.
While this would still be lower than
the population Of Greater London,
which is now placed at nearly 7O0O,'
900, the growth of New York is much
more rapid, and if the present rates
were maintained it would pass its
European rival.
Aside from the prestige Of being the
first city in the world, however, there
is little to be gained by additions to
the size of the city. Popular senti-
ment, in fact, seems to be against
any considerable additions to the pres
ent administrative area.
For the present, most persons hold,
the problems of giving the greater
city proper government are difficult
enough without further complications.
but the plan of the census authori-
ties, which would give the city credit
for the population logically belonging
to it without adding to its actual
area, is regarded with favor.

WHITE ANTS OF CEYLON

II is estimated that twothirds Of the

and palm squirrels. But it is the adult
winged insects that are especially vic

one per cent Of the mature insects
survive the dangers of the periodic

nearly every other animal Birds, bats,
