A great house warming was tax

ghosts to ditto, and good food and
wine withal. There were bagpipes
and haggis, dancers and singers. To

it sent down. When he finally re-

SAXON HAS GIRDLED EARTH
Where the Thin Red Line Has Not
Gone Man Has Not

Tie Saxon has marked around
this earth, as no other race before
him, the scarlet circle of his power.
This thin, red Saxon line, so thin
with bis numbers, so red with his
blood, was made possible only by his
heroism and his racial fealty.
Where this line has not gone man
has not found. 1t has crossed every
sea; it has trayersed every desert it
has sought every solitude; it has
passed through swamps where only
the sacred ibis fishes; over sands that
have never been moistened; over
SHOWS that have never melted. There
has been no storm it has not encoun-
tered; no pain it has not endured
no race it has not fought and no dis
ease it has not commended with.
This Saxon line has been to the
earth a girdle heroic and tragic.

ancient places of the world. 1t has

STRANGE MATTERS OF FACT
Scientific Puzzles That Appear Queer
but Are Easily Capable OF
ElueIdatlon.

Everyone knows that the diamond
is only charcoal crystallized; but
there are a great many things in ma
ture that, though possessing widely
different properties, are composed of
exactly equal quantities of the same
elements.
The white Of an egg and rattle
snake poison are formed of identi-
cally the same amounts of. the same
elements.
The oil of roses and common coal
gas are each formed alike, both be-
ing composed Of four atoms of by
drogen and four atoms Of carbon.
Sugar and gum arabic are likewise
brothers of the same weight and tex
ture.
ALI the hydrocarbons, known to
science as a combination of sixteen
atoms of hydrogen and ten atoms Of
carbon, are alike in their compost
ton. To enumerate some: Oil of or
ange, lemon, cloves, ginger and black
pepper.
The suggested explanation Of these
peculiarities is that the atoms art
placed differently toward one another
in the molecules of the different sub,
stances.
Other things just as peculiar art
evident when certain substances ar,
united chemically. The hydrogen
gas, which is also odorless, whe1
united go to make ammonia, which
has very strong odor. Copper
which has no odor, and zinc, which
also has none, when melted ant
mixed to give us brass, produce

Viscount Haldane, Lord Chan
cellor of England, has made many
friends since he came to this side
OF the Atlantic to attend and adj
dress the annual convention OF the
American Bar Association. The
very fact that he came was an
evidence of his good. will toward
Americans and Canadians, and the
message he brought from King
George of England to the Ameri-
cans and Canadians will do much
toward cementing the bonds OF
friendship which already exist be-
