Guards of Royalty.

The uneasiness that testers round the
head that wears crown is no smaller
now than when commented upon by
Shakespeare $50 years ago. King George
of England considered to be in less dah-
ger from attack by cranks and anar-
chists-and militant suffrasettes-than
any other European monarch is never
theless carefully guarded.
When he is at buckingham palace all
the passages there are constantly pa
trolled by detectives Windsor castle is
even more carefully guarded. When ht
STAYS there the place is cared Tor eE
from 20 to p detectives and every en-
trance is guarded by an armed Official
The detective staff looks after him when
he is a guest at house party.
These precautions cost an average OF
$50 a day. The German emperorss per-
sonal detective staff is said To cost near

the car of Russia in safety amounts to

London and New York.

London has reached a stage when the
growth of population has nearly come t.
an end says a report to the County
Council on the decline in taxable values
For almost 100 years London had grown
in population more steadily. though less
rapidly, than New York, averaging about
20 per cent increase in each decade But
in 1901 the increase dropped sharply to
per cent. and in 1911 in the County of
London there was d slight decrease, in
stead of the predicted increase of per
cent. The International Whitaker, an
English almanac, places New York, with
4, 10000 population, at the head of the
Largest cities in the world London
second, with 4,523,eoo inhabitants. New
York, if its rate of growth remained the
same, would ROW have 100000 souls. 1t
is credited by the World Almanac with
5,113,064 January /. There is more than
$50, 000 margin in favor Of the American
city.
Metropolitan London had in 1911 1925
inhabitants, which may have increased
to 100000, considerably more than met
ropolitan New York can claim; but
growth slaekens in the whole region.
Many old houses are unfit to live in and
have been vacated. Large central areas
are cleared for public buildings and for
trade. The London County Council has
erected homes for thousands of working
men outside the city, and London does
not take to skyscraping apartment
houses With reduced pressure of popu-
lation, rents fall. and with them values
Like London, New York must some
day yield to decreasing growth pereen-
tage. but there is no sign of it yet. The
percentage of growth was higher in 1917
than in 1900; higher in 1900 than in 1890
higher in 1890 than in 1880: higher in 1851
than in 1870. And if New York We're as
populous as London in proportion to the
nation its metropolitan area would num-

Eternal Necessity of the East.

A leading English journal recently de-
voted two most interesting columns to
the consideration Of that remarkable
animal. the camel But the subject Is Il
large one in every sense, and the writer
omitted various aspects of the case
which render the camel such an exas-
perating and perplexing problem to the
thoughtful traveller. An Anglo-lndian
friend sends me some interesting notes
on this subject. The clinical treatment

hardly occur to any European veterinary
surgeon. The camel also insists on one

Gettino an "Education."

An exchange calls attention To the
fact that all the colleges report ban
ner cnrolments, and the tremendous
development of academic instruction
As an example Cornell is referred 10
with its membership of 5000 in its reg
ular college courses. Another editor
deals lenethily with the amazing prog
ress of agricultural education. the
treat number of colleges and fitting
schools. ard even primary grades. that
are carving agricultural courses. Still
another writer deals with manual
training and domestic science, and the
increasing demand for teachers in these
courses. The New York Mail says
Il is a vast change from the old days
at college, when a student knew ms
classmates, and did not feel himself
quite lost in the assembly Of under
graduates. The old time college was a
mere high school compared with the
present university. But at least stud
ent felt himself part of the institution
then. New he feels u good deal like a
small cog in a great and complicated
system of wheels.
The education provided is great
thing. 1t is adapted to every need OF
the exalted human intellect, ana To
nearly every walk of life. Not quite
to every walk of life: for the artisan Is
better off in the trade school. 1t peurs
into the students lap the sarnered
knowledge. the ripened thoughts, OF all
the ases. Seized and assimilatei by the
really Intelligent and eager student, II
makes god of him.
Five thousand regular students IN one
college, And there are 5s1 recognized
universities. colleges and technical
schools of the college grade IN this
country. with a great army of almost
thirty thousand professors and instruc-
tors. 1t makes one tremble to think
of The erudition that is running at large
in this country.
But lest we fear too much for the
countrys brain as the result OF so
much ladiag, let the fact be noted that
not more than one in ten of all these
students will really be educated The
gigantic machinery exists only for the
benefit of the selected mind. Like vac
cination, college education does not

cination, the cases in which it does not

TO change the figure, tens OF tnous-
ands are put through the college hop

ing process after that. The bulk OF

portion to the population. than in the
days of the little colleges
We may take heart of grace. There
is no danger that the American nation
will be over educated.

Not "ozone" but Good Air.

At the conclusion of an editorial tell
ing of the scientific exploding of the
ozone myth. The journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association says: These
conclusions of eminent scientific men
simply confirm the experiment and OBJ
seryaticns of past generations. There Is
no air so good as outdoor air, and the
best way to get ii is to open door or
window. Modern mechanical devices
fol purifying the air. as well as
elaborte systems for artificial ventlla-
ton are, in the main, delusions and
snares. II you want good air-and ev-
erybody does, if they can get it-go
outdoors and get il, or let the outdoors
in through the open window"
In other words. most of our pubic
halls, churches, school rooms, railway
trains and electric cars do not need

good stiff breeze sweeping through to

EVOLUTION OF THE GOLF BALL

The novice golfer of today seldom
stops to consider the amount OF
thought and hard labor the first play
ers put into perfecting the little white

leather of Unframed bull hide, two
round pieces forming the ends and
another for the middle These pieces
were softened, shaped and firmly
seHed together. small hole being left
through which the feathers might af-
terward be inserted. Before stufiinS,
the leather sphere was turned outside
in, so that the seams would be on the
inside The skin was then placed in
a cup shaped stand. the worker all the
while having the feathers in an aproi.
before him, and the stuffing was done
with a steel rod. q.
The aperture was then closed AMI
the seam sewed, and only this tiny
seam was left to be seen. The life of
each ball was very short. After
short time of play the seams would rip
and the feathers would protrude.
When the ball was used on a wet day,
water would squirt out. each time the
ball was struck. The moisture OF
course would add to the balls weight,
and after being played few holes II
would seem to weigh a pound. In i'm
portant matches the players would use
a fresh ball at each hole, this neces-
sarily entailing great expense.
Although the ball used on the links
nowadays is seemingly perfect, many
inventors are experimenting in the
hope of obtaining even "a better one.

He not only declares oysters to be
highly nutritious food for persons in
good health, but also highly recon-

Unlike most other foods, the oyster
contains in itself many elements nee
essafy for its own digestion. The
largest part of the bivalve is it's liver,
and the very moment we begin to
chew it the digestive juices with which
this organ is plentifully supplied are
released and at once begin furnishing
valuable aid to our stomachs.
An oyster contains about 10 per cent
