TO START OCEAN FLIGHT.

The Duke of Connaught, Governor GeDer-
al Of Canada, and Premier Borden VIII ofhc-
lally start the Sloane aeropIane on It's at
tempted flight across the Atlantic Ocean
next August. Word to this effect was r-
ceived yesterday by telegram from DR.. ).
Cadegan at Glace Bay, N. S. The royal
party, with other high Canadian Govern
ment officials, have announced that they VIII
be in Glace Bay at that time. The Canadian
Government is deeply Interested Al the trans
oceanic flight, and is making preparations
to provide a warship patrol.
DR.. Cadegan OF Gluce Bay is making pre-
partitions for the flight in Canada. Some time
dnring this week lie will have u conference
with John e. Sloane. They will have q con
s~ultution with the Ministers OF War and Mill
tin for the Dominion.
Dir. Cadegan has already made arrange
ments for the accommodation OF the stan

a~eroplnne. He has also provided shelter Tor

chosen as the time for the flight because a
careful study of the weather charts has re-

WHAT ARE THEY OVER HERE FOR?

Two men OF title who came over from
England on the Olympic announced hat
high taxes had driven them from home and
impending ruin, and that hereafter they pur-
posed to live in Canada as farmers. These
are immigrants of a new sort.
Whether the taxes that expelled them
were excessive, and therefore UNJUST, or only
uniamIliur to a class that has been wont to
shift most of the burden of taxation oven ON
10 other and poorer people, is a question to
which conflicting answers are gwen. The
,xiled lords, however, will find that there
nre tax collectors in Canada as we'll as at
home, and they will not find a title of much
use in many parts of the country they aye so
ing to favour by adopting.
Perhaps they will De happy after trans.
plantation and perhaps they will not, but II
they really think things are going SO very
badly in England, it would seem as if Eng
land, not Canada, were the place for them. Is
il not the lords duty to fight, till death, i
accessory, in defense Of his country and
people?
That is the theory of lords at any rate,
and it does not become them to run away III
time of trouble.--I6jd.

home made it not ideal but intolerable.
This will make everybody who hears of the
case laugh, but the California woman's book
for all that may be an excellent work and
it's directions helpful to everybody who reads
and follows them.
The demand that practice and preaching
should go together is well enough, when
addressed to the preacher personally, but
for the preaching to be good it is by no
means necessary that the preachers practice
should be equally good, or even good at oil.
The two stand quite apart and shoula be
judged apart.-N. Y. Times, april Sh,

generally surrounded by a garden. Varia-
tons of the above were seen. Near Mount

lengthways was across the centre Of the

of pathological interest, we hoped would be ot
use to us in communicating with the natives

that after advancing about 20 miles, the dla-
lect changed, and very few OF the words
could be understood. Further on the lau-
guage was quite different.
While the many tribes of natives we met
on our exploration showed no suspicion and
absolute confidence Ill us, after we had sue
ceeded IN establishing friendly relations,

THE OLD BOYS.
Inclination Of Men and Boys to
Make Things.

From the Springfield Republican.
The boys exposition is a capital thing.
but why should not Their seniors have
chance? Women have had opportunity
enough to display their arts and crafts
no doubt prizes are stlll offered for the
whitest bread, the highest cake. the finest
needlework. But there is not much
chance for a man to shine unless he can
manage to take prize at a poultry show.
1t was very different in the old days, when
skill In handling an AK or in setting
fireplace or in making any of the simple
but important things needed on the farm
might give handy man a reputation
throughout the countryside. Nowadays
even on the farm most utensils come
from the factory. and there is far less OPP
portunity for resourcefulness, while the
city man is apt to lead a dull routine life
unless he finds some hobby to crafty. Ii
may be fancied that automobiling could
never have got so great vogue IL it had
not given many busy men an excuse for
fussing unprofessionally with machinery.
Most boys have an instinct for making
things, but it is likely to be suppressed
when they grow up. for lack of an outlet.
Occasionally circle of amateurs is form
ed. as has happened with wireless teleg
amateur hobnobbing. sometimes to the
annoyance OF the professionals. But there
must be scores of amusing and profitable
amateur specialties that have their isolat-
ed devotees Their number might be
greatly Increased with little systematic
cultivation. Generally speaking. people
choose their recreations less to fit Their
taste than to give them agreeable COM
partnership in their leisure hours. Both
motoring and golf are excellent, but it
Is likely that MANY who follaw ono or
both have some more highly specialized
taste which they would indulge IL they
had congenial companionship. Not many
have the resourcefulness of r. L. Ste

playing at each new game with the zest
of a boy.
Yet the liking for making things fingers
even when long suppressed, and it is
pity that it cannot be utilized II is
likely that an exposition of the amateur
work OF adults-undertaken, say, for the
benefit Of some charity-would bring out
a surprising range of hobbies that have
been pursued more or less secretly If
these things could be dragged into the
open. 1t would be most instructive We
know pretty we'll what people do when
they are busy-it is what they do when
they are idle that throws most light on
their natural tastes, and incidentally on
a social need which has been inadequately
investigated. The range of prize contests
ought, or course. to be unlimited. running
all the way from postage stamp collecting
to water colors and amateur boat build
ing. In some specialties there might be
but one competitor, in others pretty
contest might be looked for, and the
amateurs would run the professionals
hard. Such an exposition would if sue
cessful be entertaining and 1t might lead
to the organization of some neglected
hobbies.

Schools as Moving Picture Showss
From the New York world.


Edison is preparing to spend $3.00o.0oO
and devote eight years OF effort to the
perfection of a series Of educational NOV
ing picture films for use in schoolrooms.
1t is expected that moving pictures will
in time become IAN indispensable ad-
junct" Of a school course, and one OF the
special advantages claimed for the plan
Is that 1t will interest boys who hate
school and cannot learn from books"
When schools are transformed into
amusement resorts for the benefit of boys
too lazy to study. the new educational
dispensation will be thought to have at
tanned it's highest development.
Under the old theory of education,
schools were places of mental discipline
Their object was to teach pupils to think
and the course was purposely made DIM
cult to prepare them for the serious work
of life But benevolent boards OF edu-
cation have changed all that.
All the rough places have been smooth
ed away. There Is no algebra or higher
arithmetic for those who do not want IT.
because IL is -'unessentiaf' and might
cause young heads to ache. All knowl-
edge is predigested and warranted not to
strain the weakest mental digestion.
When to this easy shortcut to learning
Is added the attraction OF moving pic
lures, the educational coddling process
will be complete.
Going to school will then have all the
zest OF going to the theater. But il would
be instructive to match the graduate OF
the modern peptonized school course with
4 boy from the old-time little red school
house In a test OF actual mental capacity.
