Bulls In the House Of Commons.


THE house of commons is regular
bull pen," said an Englishman. al
heard Tory member say recently in
praise of bishops: Bishops are not real
ly stiff and starchy. There's good
heart beating below their CATERS
"An imperialist declared in debate:
No Ireland, no Wales. no Scotland;
one only Britain Such are the words
the mouth of our sovereign has always
had in its eye
IAN Irish Unionist said Of an Irish
Nationalist, Shall this man come into
this house with unblushing footsteps,
with the cloak OF hypocrisy in his
mouth. and draw 100000 acres out of
our pocketsY
IAN excited labor member once
shouted. If this bill passes l see be-
fore the workingmen Of England a fu-
ture from which they have been for
too many years kept out"

fearful Statesmen.

There was time when English
statesmen wept upon small provoca-
ton. Pepys makes frequent reference
to this weakness, while the story Of
the long parliament as written by
D'Ewes gives tire impression that the
legislators of that day were singularly
prone to tears. They wept on the
slightest provocation. and sometimes
their excessive grief was so noisy that
proceedings had to be stayed until the
lachrymose lawmakers could compose
themselves.

First International Band Contest.

PdHu SOHISSSs
The earliest record of an interna-
fonal band contest is of one held In
the year 1920 between the bands of
Handel and Buononcini, a gifted Ital-
ian composer, who by his friends and
admirers was declared to be infinitely
superior to the German master. The
king headed the partisans of the Ger
man and the Prince of Wales those of
the Italian artist. The controversy has
been perpetuated In the lines of John
Byron, popular poet of his day:
Some say. compared to Buononcini,
That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny.
Others aver that he to Handel
Is scarcely fit to hold a candle.
Strange all this difference should be
'Twixt tweedledum and tweedledee
An international band contest on
much larger scale was held in connec-
ton with the Paris exhibition of 1867,
in which selected bands from Austria.
Bavaria, Baden. Belgium, France, Hol-
land, Spain and Russia competed in
the presence of 10000 visitors. Russia
took the first prize, closely followed by
France and Austria.-London Standard.

The FIY,s Buzz In Music.

1t was Mendelssohn who first put
fairies into the orchestra, and that
composers incidental music to "A Mid
summer Nights Dream" is surely the
happiest accompaniment to Shake
speare's play. But there Is more than
the revels of fairies in Mendelssohn's
work There Is the buzzing of a fly
which one day in the summer of 1925
flew about Mendelssohn's head as he
lay on the grass with friend in the
Schonhauser garden. Berlin, planning
the overture AS the fly buzzed by
MendelsSohn said "Hush!' and listened
intently for time. Afterward, when
the overture was finished. the compos-
er pointed to the modulation of the
cellos from B minor to F sharp minor
in the middle section and said, There;
that's the Schonhauser fly" That over
ture has become one of the worlds
musical classics. and Mendelssohn was
a boy of eighteen when he wrote it

A Curious Canal,

Between Worsley and st. Helens. in
the north of England, Is the most re-
markable canal in the world 1t is
underground from end to end and is
sixteen miles long. In Lancashire the
coal mines are very extensive, half the
country being undermined, and many
years ago the Duke of Bridgewaters
managers thought they could save
money by transporting the coal under
ground instead OF on the surface. The
canal was constructed and the mines
connected and drained at the same
time. Ordinary canalboats are used,
but the power is furnished by men
On the roof of the tunnel arch are

Of propulsion by lying on their backs
on the coal and pushing with their feet

The eruption of Krdsatoa, in tho

first among the appalling convuls~as.
Of nature.
Krakatea was a. voscanic mountain
midway between Sumatra and Lava,
but it had been inactive since 1Gs9. In
the spring of 1883 it began to- show
signs Of activity. On the 2sSh Of
August loud explosions were. heard,
and on the 2sth. came the eruption
that fairly shook the planet.
The eruption was followed by aDs
appalling darkness. with a downpodP
of mud and samd. Then came a tre--
mendous tidak movement. the water

whelming tine people oa the shores.

The great mountain was literally.

the fact that over the spot where the

| or 960 feet. Other soundings showed
| that the bottom of the ocean for miles
around had been changed. Islands that
had never been seen before appeared
and others entirely disappeared.
The damage to human life. done
chiefly by the monster tidal waves,
has never been definitely estimated,
but 1t is known that at least 100000
perlshed. The loss was probably far
in excess Of that number.
Some idea of the force of the ex-
| plosion may be had from the fact that
] the waves that were started by It and
| driven east and west from the mar
and met on the other side of the globe
Indeed, 1t was proved that these waves
crossed at the antipodes and encircled

Strange as 1t may seem, the detona
tion accompanying the explosion was
felt 5000 miles away. while from its
very immensity it was almost inaudi
BILE to the dwellers in the immediate
vicinity.
Wonderful, too, were the meterologi
cal phenomena following the dreat
calamity. The sun did not rise or Sc
in the old familiar way for more thar
year after the explosion. The cloud:
appeared to he touched with strange
lurid tints. and the blue of the heav
ems did not look as it had looked be
fore. The superstitious in all lands
felt that the very laws of nature were
, changing. and some imagined that tht
world was nearing its end
/ The explanation, later on given, was
that the queer phenomena were due t.
the fact that the awful explosion hat
