FRENCH FISHERIES
BEING INSPECTED
BY CRUISER PARTY
Torpedo Dirigible Balloon is
Added to the Fleet
Of France.

PARIS, Feb. 24-The French
cruiser Descarte sailed recently from
Lorient for America, where she will
remain two years visiting different
ports in North and South America,
but especially inspecting the French
fisheries of Newfoundland.
"A torpedo dirigible balloon is the
latest addition to Frances great
aerial fleet. The matter has been
held with considerable secrecy, but
it is known that at the Bayrad
works at Asnieres, Just outside Paris,
such dirigible is in construction
The dirlgible deck will be fitted with
torpedo tube and the balloon at
each ascent will carry three torpe-
does. These in time of war would
be launched at the armies over
which the dirigible passed.
Important social reforms have

really in two parts. both of which
have been adopted by the Swiss
parliament. The first part relative
to insurance against illness met with
no serious opposition, but the sec
ond, relative to insurance against
accident, was combatted somewhat
in parliament because it involved
the establishment of national
fund of about 81, 100000 annually .

The New England Company, one
of the Oldest missionary organiza-
lions in the world, will celebrate tbs
25Oth anniversary this month. 1t
is an interesting coincidence that
Robert Boyle, one of the contribu-
tors to the Harvard University
foundation and founder of the Royal
Society, which celebrates its 25Oth
anniversary next July, should have
been prominently connected with the
missionary society of the same age 1.
Like the Royal Society, the New
England Company existed for some
years in a different form before its
actual corporation by royal charter
in February, 1862.
Edward Winslow, governor Of
Massachusetts, came to England III
1919 and besought parliament tc
pass an act for the establishment
of Society for the Propagation Of
the Gospel among the Indians Of
New England. The act was passed
and the society was formed with six.
teen citizens of London to further
the work. Commissioners were ap

was done. At the time of the Re
storation some anxiety was ex
pressed for the future of the society
but Charles II. gave favorable con
sideration to a proposal to incorpo'
rate It by royal charter.

contending that such an immense
appropriation would endanger the
national treasury and that it con-
stituted doubtful adventure for a
state to mingle in a matter which
properly belonged to private com
panies.

It is said that the censorship on
the press in Russia has been revived
with all of It's former severity and
that one of the first sufferers was an
American newspaper which had a.
cartoon which 1t had copied from a
humorous publication blotted out of
the copies mailed to all Russian sub
Iscrlbers. But the greatest volume
of complaint against the operations
of the censor comes from British
writer's and publishers, who are de-
prived of an excellent market by his
activities. One of these writer's has
complained to the public in letter
in which asserts that while technic-
ally the, censorship has been abol-
ished, practically the publishers and
press are more than ever worried
by oficialdom. 'He declares that
the only hopeful sign is that a
cookery book which was suppressed
by the censor because one of the
recipes advised perfect freedom"
in the use of some ingredients, is
now allowed to circulate. On the
other hand he states that the list of
prescribed books continue to grow
long and varied.
The Bishop of winchester has an
nounced that the restoration of the
Winchester Cathedral is so far ad-
vanced that thanksgiving services
for the success of the work will be
held next summer.
Difficult and very costly works
have been carried on for several
years to save the historic structure
from falling into ruin. The walls
of the eastern portion had given
way, causing serious cracks in the
vaulting. while the transept walls
we're Affected similarly. In the
eastern part the walls we're of ne
cessity underpinned and the founda-
lions strengthened. This proved a
far more costly work than was an
ticipated, for under the gravel on
which the cathedral is built, is bed
of peat saturated with water. It
was necessary to employ divers to-
place bags and blocks of concrete
under the water. and to use a power
full steam pump to keep the water
down. Estimates of the cost of re-
pairs advanced from $4,000 up
wards until the engineers declared
that it would cost not less than
100000 to repair the structure.
NAnd for this great sum there will be
hardly anything to show above
ground Most of it has been spent
in securing the foundations and sta
bility of the walls. 1t is probable
that the walls, which have already
stood for 500 years, will be pre-
served for centuries to come by the
work now being done on them.
