Speeches That Go On Wheels.

It is one of the comforts of the 4feasury Bench in the House of Conn mons in England, that speeches made from this situation go on wheels. The designer of the House of Commons set out with entirely unfounded assun1p-
 ton that the ordinary member was g.
 born debater, and that all he needed
 70 say his say was space of drugget
 Tor his two feet and a roof and walls
 t0 collect his voice. He is denied that
 corner of the ehairman's table of
 which he made use while he was still
 candidate; if he requires a glass of
 water he must balance 1t on a ledge at
 the level of his knees, and if he is
 dependent upon notes he must wear
 the badge of servitude palpably, mo-
 toriously--with what grace he can. Having spersevered through these trials, he arrives at the Treasury Bench, and
 there he finds a table. before him. and
 on the table a box which brings his
 notes well within his eyesight; if it
 does not, he can build it up by
 volume or two, and he no longer speaks
 with about third of his mind intent
 on the mechanical processes of the speech. Ministers of the Crown are beginning, so to speak, to carry the Treasury Bench about with them. Everybody is familiar with MT. Churchilrs box Of fumsd oak, 8 rest at once for his elbow and for the notes of his speech. Mir Asquith had one like it at Nottingham on a recent night. only it was covered with green baize, and, standing behind it Mr. Asquith had his speech beautifully before him, and must have faced his great audience with a mind free from all the prelini- nary anxieties of the orator. A glance through his eye-ola sses at the next the removal of the eyeglasses the delivery of the passage, the cheers of the audience affording plenty or time for another survey of the ground inn mediately ahead-such was the course of the speech. At the end MT. Ascuith proffered MT. Redmond the loan of his box. but the Irish leader, as a back 1 bencher, still practises in the harder parliamentary school, and he stood | with his speech in his left hand in his 1 ing sta atesrnan goes quite so far as Sir | William Harcourt, who with his read 1 and green shaded lamp, used | to be equipped for the platform like l iatern lecturer

Petrihed Honey.

An American prOSpector operating in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, relates an interesting experience. In 8 seclud- ed glen to which he had been led iby a Mexican Indian he found what he des- cribes as petrified honey. He says:
 My guide left the beaten track and broke off into the ravine, deep from the main ground He climbed Up some ledges near where stood many of what once were trees, but are now petrifed and stand there splendid monuments in stone. The adjacent rocks appeared to be of limestone formation, and many some dirty white looking substance. Borrowing my knife, the Indian com menced chopping off piece. He hand ed 1t to me and told me to taste it. Wiping off what was a yel1owish top dressing, I saw that what remained of the sparkling stuff was white and glist- ened in the sun.
 T put a piece of it in my mouth and tasted about the sweetest thing that ever slipped across my palate. It was honey-petriffed honey! How did it get there? The only way can imagine Is that bees in some prehistoric era col lected the honey, then, of course, in q liquid state, and deposited it in the were trees, which afterward turned in to stone Then. too, 1t may have been some gas in the crevices which brought about the petrfhcation. The process of turning wood into stone is d very slow one, as everybody knows. and, while am no scientist. l should think that thousands of years were required to make what you might call natural candy indianapolis News.

A superstitious Corporation.

Neapolitans are not the only super stitious people in the world, nor is superstition limited to people One would think that a corporation. being an artificial person, intangible, invisi- ble, immortal, and so forth, would be immune. Not so. Consider what has happened in the greatest municipality in the world. The other day the local government committee of the London County Council recommended that, No. 18, Stanhope place, Paddington, should be given the number 14. The Council adopted the recommendation of the committee. The only ground urged in justification of the change of number was that thirteen Is unlueky. The Council came in for a good deal of ridicuIe from certain of the bold and brave, who said that the gentleman who made the application had thirteen letters in his name, that there were thirteen letters in the name of the street and thirteen in the name of the chirman of the local government committee. It Is to be wondered in how many thousands of cases the Council will see fit to supply the new principle which it has set up.

WHAT INTERESTS OTHER NATIONS

which music Is bein gspIayed must re- main shut. (Cf various jokes about the daughters piano and the man next door.) The principal aim Of the police is to keep the streets .restfu1ly quiet. but they have overlooked one or two points which may seriously infringe the hallowed silence they desire. They have made no orders that pedestrians shall universally wear rubber-hee1s or shall not carry loose money in their pockets which is likely to jingle. Noth ing is to be done either, it would ap- pear, to restrict the serious evils of coughing or sneezing in the public street, of striking matches loudly, or of wearing loud" socks, ties or suits. It is perhaps a necessary evil that newspapers should come out with re- ports, but ell conscientious citizens of Berlin must veiw with some indigna- ton the remissness of the authorities in allowing the scandal of the squeak ing boot to continue absolutely un- checked. This nuisance will now be- come more objectionable than before. The passing of the man with the squeaking boots down a Berlin street with all the other pedestrians walking on tip-toe and discoursing in legal whispers, and with all windows closed to prevent any discords issuing from private houses, is extremely painful to imagine. He will be heard from one esd of the Inter den Linden to the other: he will nu1ify all the other pre-
 
 tions with regard to this matter will be made to the authorities. The question of the legality of the carrying of watches with a loud tick can no doubt be left for future consideration, but it is to be presumed that owners of such will eventually be obliged to attach sii iencerS to them in the same way that motor cyclists in some countries are now legally bound to attach silencers to their machines. The regulations as to the manner in which pedestrians may walk are hardly likely to pass un clause dealing with the question of speed. The irregularity of pace of pedestrians in cities has long called for reform. In the same way that vehicles moving at different speeds re- suits in chaos and delay in road traffic, the lack of uniformity in speed among pedestrians results in chaos on the pavement. AA Beriin's attempts to produce the model pavement will be frustrated unless uniformity of pace is by law. A reasonable limit would be three miles per hour between P. M and 10 P M, and four miles at the other and buster times of the day. No doubt the new regulations will be duly amplif1ed, but the authorities are perhaps wise in proceeding with their with delicacy and moderation to start with. Even so, however, the | general public is unhappily- careless and neglectful, though well-meaning and many fines will have to be imposed before they learn their lesson. The report which has been circulated in certain quarters that the to provide for two additional super 1 dreadnoughts in the German pro- for 1913 is however, abso- Iutely without foundation.
