A Century AGO.

One hundred years ago Dr. Thomas
Fanshawe Middleton was consecrated
first bishop OF Calcutta. The conse-
Grafton took place In London, and soon
afterward the new bishop sailed for
India. In Calcutta. he laid the foun.
dation for the Bishops college In 1920,
and established conaistory court in
that city. While zealously engaged In
his duties he was attacked with a
fever. OF which he died In 1922. For
more than century the efforts to
spread the Christian faith in India
have continued. Numerically the
Christian population In the great east
ern empire is still Insignificant,
amounting to only about one per cent
OF the population, but 1t is generally
admitted to have an influence out oil
all proportion to its numbers.

Would Handle Wheat In Bulk.

Australian wheat, at the present
time, is transported in bags. system
which involves not only considerable
cost but is also uneconomical in the
use Of labor. In consequence, the gov
ernments of New South Wales and Vic
toria are considering proposals for
handling II in bulk, based upon the re-
ports of engineers, who made inquiries
as to this method in Canada, the Uni
ted States and South Africa. The ex-
perts also say that the change would
result in large extension of the
growing areas. 1t is understood, how
ever. that the steamship lines, which
have been approached on tho subject,
are not agreed that under existing cir
cumstances the shipment of grain in
bulk is practicable, though it is be-
lieved that Il adequate supplies were
guaranteed the necessary space would
be readily forthcoming.

War Makes CHANCES,

A curious coincidence is reported
from South Africa, where General
Smuts, as minister of defense, is ar
ranging for the defense of Port Mol
10th and the copper mines at Ookiep
against possible raid from German
Southwest Africa. 1t was in this dis
trict that General SHUTS himself led
a most daring raid in the last weeks of
the Boer war. He suddenly appeared
out of the desert country to the east
at the head of mounted force and
summoned Ookiep to surrender. Colo
mel Shelton successfully defended the
little town, but the Beers destroyed
the railway that connects it with Port
Nolloth and did some damage to block
houses. A relief force from Port Mol
10th raised the siege and a few days
later the dashing Boer leader himself
appeared at Port Nolloth to join in the
negotiations for peace.

LORD BRYCE ON READING
Only Literature That Stimulates
Thought, He Considers, ls
Worth Consideration.

Lord Bryce, speaking in London on
popular occasion just before the
war, said what the schools and uni
versities ought to do was to cultivate
the habit of thinking. They spent a
good deal of time on reading, espe-
cially on reading newspapers, but that
did not mean thinking. They spent a
great deal OF time on business, but a
great deal OF business effort was COM
paratively mechanical and rule Of
thumb.
What he meant was something diff
ferent--that they should apply their
minds to questions which did not con-
Germ their business, but in which, as
good citizens and intelligent human
beings, they ought to be occupied,
Public Opinion says.
There was good deal of fiction we'll
worth reading, but no work of fiction
was worth reading If it did not set
them thinking, and unless it was a
book which contained vivid character,
reflections and suggestions, which
were worth pondering over, and pic
lures OF manners of society, whether
of old times or of today Anything
which stimulated their thought was
worth reading. If one cultivated the
books which stimulated the habit Of
thinking one had source of pleasure
that went on continuously throughout
life.

United States consuls serd News or
Foreign Education to the

That many of the United States dip
lomatic and consular representatives
abroad have rendered very real serv-
ice In obtaining information on for
eign educational movements is fact
to which tribute is paid in a bulletin
issued by the bureau of education OF
the United States department of the
interior at Washington, the New York
Times observes. The bureau acknowl-
edges that it counts on these repre-
sentatives for a considerable part OF
the matter on foreign schools which
1t publishes each year for the sake OF
American educators who cannot go
abroad but who must know what other
countries are doing educationally.
Recently Ambassador Joseph e. VIII

with statement of educational condi-
tions in Spain. which contained val
liable information concerning the char
acter of university instruction in that
country, especially in medicine. State

been sent in by consuls at Erfurt,
Nuremberg, Frankfort and Cologne.
These include reports on schools for
builders, courses for master crafts

and special schools for fruit growing
