LONDON PRESS ENTERPRISE
Give Large Space to Pictures
Character Sketch of King.

London, June 2S.-Enterprise unpreceden:-
ed In the history Of the British press marks
TO days issues Of the London morning
newspapers which, with only one or two
exceptions are vertable illustrated news
paper- Most of the London dailies hereto
fore have made only tentative, and not al
ways successful. attempts In the direction
of illustrating the days events.
To-day almost all OF them appear with
numerous page and half-page pictures Of
all the incidents connected with the coro-
nation. exceIlently produced from photo
graphs or original drawings In many
cases the illustrations occupy greater space
than the letter press.
THE Daily News prints an interesting
character sketch of King George by its
editor who describes him as eminentiy a
sailor and a man Of the middle class. who
loves to be among his people.
The Kings comradeship with the common
people SAYS the editor, IL not an elabo-
rate pretence to gain an end but springs
from a genuine fellow feeling and desire
70 win their good will. although he is fully
conscious that he lacks his fathers royal
road to their hearts.
While King Edwards orbit was the CON
tinent of Europe George is the first King
Of Greater Britain. Edward was sybaritic;
George almost Spartan. Edward was cos
mopolitan; George. singularly British. Ed
ward was diplomatic; George Is simple and
direct I'm thought and speech, with no
subtlety or cunning in his intellectual COM
position His tastes asthetically all be
long to the common people. Except for
shooting. he has few sporting passions. He
has no liking for games Of chance. but
prefers music and the drama In the old
fashioned form. Wagner bores him; the
modern problem play leaves him cold. King
George In not a clubable man. His friend
ships are few, but firm.
The Queen. also. like the kins. has a
middle class seriousness and sense of
duty. She is aImos, the only woman In
society who cannot he called "A society
woman" Perhaps the court may be less
gay than formerly. for the Queen prefers
knitting to ceremony. and the King likes
a book better than bridge and his children
better than either.

Train Your BREATHING.

>>: If one learns to breathe properly
when young he finds the benefit of it
In middle and old age" said a physi-
clan.
"You will notice that when a middle
aged man gets into train he holds his
breath and then grunts loudly as he
sits down. This is stupid practice.
1t throws a terrific strain on the heart
and may even burst a blood vessel in
the lungs or the brain. Many of those
sudden deaths we hear Of are due to
holding the breath while making a vio-
lent effort Only the trained athlete is
usually free from this fault. Athlete
or not. every one should practice easy
and regular breathing. If it cannot be
managed with closed mouth then the
mouth should be opened when per-
forming such operations as lifting a
weight. running upstairs, stepping into
a railway carriage, and the like. You
may add years to your life by this lit
tie precaution.-London Globe.

Sho,otinlu 1l,,l. Stars. !.

Astronomers estimate that about
$4,000. 100000 Of shooting stars reach
this earth in the form of meteorites or
dust every year. or course shooring
stars in reality are not stars ut all:
they are little cosmic particles. often
weighing much less than one ounce
and composed mostly Of iron and car
bon. Most Of them travel around thu
sun In the same fashion that comets
do. following very fattened elliptical
trajectories. Sometimes it happens
that the trajectory Of some Of these
bodies cross the trajectory Of our own
earth. IT the little meteorite and the
earth get to that point at the same
time they naturally collide. These
planetoids are not luminous in them
selves. So long as they fly through
ether (Which Is utter nothingness) there
is no friction; therefore no heat and no
light. But as soon as they enter the
atmosphere with which our globe is
surrounded their speed is so great that
the friction against the air Immediate
sly lights and volatilizes them.-New

RottomLess 1arpon SPRINGS.

The great body Of water which gave
the name to Tarpon Springs, Fla, is
classed by all Of the old citizens az
bottonless. The center appears to be
a hole curbed with jagged rocks.
Sometimes the weight has lodged and
then dropped on to the extent Of the
sounding line afterward Many citi-
zens say that they know the depth to
be in excess of 700. 500 and 900 feet
Once when a depth Of POO feet was
reached an obstruction was encounter
ed; then it was dislodged, dropped on
farther, and the line broke A very
heavy weight has to be used on ac-
count Of the depth, and when divers
are sent down in the springs, as they
have been recently. they report the
same great jagged hole. which. so far
as they can find out, is without bot
tom. The spring is supposed to be
the principal outlet of that beautiful
Lake Butler which lies just a mile
east of the town. Tidewater comes up
into the spring, and it has acquired
the name because it was the play
ground Of the silvered king Of fish, the

When tho World Was Drunk.

Nowhere in all the world today can
be found as many confirmed drunk
ards as there were among the Thra-
clans. the Iberians, the Celts or the
Scythians. The man who didn't get
drunk every day or two was regarded
as queer. The Greeks were moderate
drinkers until they began to copy the
luxury Of the Persian feasts.. The Ro.
mans initiated the Greeks. Then the
whole world went on a mad drunk. 1t
was saturnalia. Caligula owes bis
niche in the hall Of fame to the drunk
en- banquets with which he made even
Rome marvel The excesses made
fashionable by such poteutates as Lu-
cullus. Nero. Verres. Tiberius. Caligu-

Preferred to Be a Quack,

A quack at a fair near Paris was
driving a roaring trade selling nos
trums, drawing teeth and beguiling
the crowd in the usual ways, says the
British Medical Journal. The letter
of the French law against unqualified
practice is very strong, though owing
to the Indifference Of the magistrates
it is not strictly carried out. This,
however, was particularly fragrant
case, and the police felt compelled to
intervene. The quack was therefore
accosted by the guardians Of the law.

eound a NAV "a AAln

A worthy old Quaker who lived in
country town in England was rich
and benevolent, and his means were
put in frequent requisition for pur
poses Of local charity or usefulness.
The townspeople wanted to rebuild
their parish church, and committee
was appointed to raise funds. 1t was
agreed that the Quaker could not be
asked to subscribe toward an object
SO contrary to his principles; but then,
on the other hand, so true a friend to
the town might take it amiss if he
was not at least consulted on a mat
ter Of such general interest. SO one of
their number went and explained to
him their project; the old church was
to be removed and such and such steps
taken toward the construction Of
new one.
'"Thee vast right" the Quaker said,
'in supposing that my principles
would not allow me to assist in build
ing a church. But didst thee not say
something about pulling down a
church? Thee may'st put my name
down for a hundred pounds. ."-Meri.
