tial victory last night when the House

the veto power of the Lords to a sus-
pensory vote of two years of any

The members of the lower house,
led by Premier Asquith, sought to en-
tirely eliminate the veto power of the
Lords, but after months of struggle
decided to accept half a loaf at the
present time.
In addition the Lords passed a reso-
luton paying members of the House
of Commons $4,000 per annum Hither-

China as a Buffer.

Professor Ian c. Hannah in his book, Eastern Asia-A History" says that taxicabs, or, rather, automatic registers attached to horse cabs, were invented about 630 X. D.. during the Tang dynastry in China. In his opin- ion the Chinese empire is "the great est bluff in the world" and 1t sug- gests to him a very ancient Chinese fable, which he relates.
 A monkey was captured by tiger. He whined that he was thin and his flesh of poor taste but he knew of a fine fat donkey for the tiger The ti ger consented to be led to where the donkey was tied When the donkey saw them coming he was frightened but recovered his composure and bawl. ed in his masterful donkey voice:
 Monkey, you used to bring me two tigers. Why only one today?'

The Size of Some Stsrs.

NJ. Nordmann of the Paris observa tory believes that he has devised Il successful method of determining the diameters of stars by a comparison of their effective temperatures with their parallaxes. In the case of some of the brightest stars he has reached interesting results. Thus he finds that Aldebaran. the bright star in Taurus, is vertically giant sun, the ratio of its diameter to that of our sun being greater than that of the sun to the planet Jupiter. This means that Aide baran has diameter probably not less than S,00O,0OO miles, or more than thirty times the distaiice from the earth to the moon. On the other hand, Sirius. or the dog star, to our eyes the brightest of all the stars, is. accord Ing to NJ. Nordmahn, but little larger than our sun.

Cards and Card Flayia1.

In paper in the Journal of the Roy al Society of Arts Professor H ChonrF discussing the part played by gambllrc in magic. observes: "rhe use of card, is said 10 be derived from the Iurt cards. which were originally employed for occult purposes. The legend which ascribes the invention of cards 10 the purpose of amusing a mad king docs not seem at all sufficient explana tion. and there is in addition the fac' that cards of kind existed before the said king. In further support of this idea the well known practice of telling fortunes by cards may probably be re garded as a survival of Il regular form of uivination by such means. It seems. in fact. that card playing for stakes is mere development of ceremony in which individuals consulting the ora cle decided to abide by it's pronounce ments as to the holding of disputed property.
