MINUTE PRAYER.
Canadian Writing 390 Words on Grain
 of Wheat

Edmonton, Alberta. Dec. 6.-Among many other wonders which the Peace River country is destined to produce in the wheat line according to Bert Hendley, a homesteader from that country, is a challenger for the pecu- liar championship claimed by Bauch Mordecai, son of Zeebi Hirsch Scheine- mann. of Jerusalem. The would-be champion is Aaron Kirschlieff. He has selected particularly large, per feet grain Of wheat and is engaged, during his spare winter evenings in letters so small that only a powerful microscope could make it readable, a prayer for the Duke of Connaught. Wirschheff expects to complete his task this winter and will then for ward the odd little token of loyalty to the Executive.
 The only other known instance of such difficult and painstaking work is that of the champion prayer of 3S0 Hebrew letters upon grain of wheat for Sir Moses Montefiore. Sir Moses kept the prayer until his death, and it is now in the possession of one of his friends. KirSchlieff intends to in- scribe 39O letters on his grain of Peace River wheat.

Ole Theoba1di, the famous Norwe

evening. As there have been so many

around the world and thrilled the pee

NEW YORK. Oct. s1.-There will be
a great booming of cannon today from
the war fieet anchored in the Hudson
river when Secretary of the, Navy
Meyer arrives.
The official inspection, however, will
not take place until tomorrow.
Owing to a change in the program
because of President Taft's visit Thurs
day, the ships will be open for visitors
again today. There will be another il
Elimination tonight and tomorrow
night,
The flashing of $50, 900 electric lights
from the 1O2 warships changed the
dark Hudson river into a fairyland.
A few minutes before the fleet was
shrouded in gloom. Only the family
silhouetted forms of the grim war
monsters were revealed in the gather
ing darkness.
Suddenly. as though Father Neptune
himself had pressed the button, long
ropes of light leaped up from the sea
and ran along the hull and jack-staff
and up the tall skeleton masts of the
first ship in the long line.
A fiery %semaphore along the port side
of the flagship Connecticut, anchored
off Fifty-seventh street, I'VE a sig
nal. Instantly the whole fleet of war
ships, stretching. up as far as Fort
Washington Point. glowed 18th thou-
sands of sparkling electrical bulbs. n
