Lord Bryce as a Walker.

A newspaper correspondent recently
returned from 'someAhere in France"
tells me story of a visit paid by Lord
Bryce to the trenches. An officer was
sketching out a little trip along the
front which he proposed to make with
the distinguished visitor the next day,
but suddenly remembering that Lord
Bryce is seventy-eight, suggested that
perhaps the program involved too long
a walk. Lord Bryce at once answered
that as an old Alpinist he would I'M
dertake to walk against his much
younger officer friend, himself, by the
way, an Alpinist of some distinction.
And when next day the two returned
to camp, after tTudging through
trenches for many miles, the younger
man had to confess that he was very
much more done up than his compan-
ion.-Westminster Gazette.

Two Freaks of Nature.

Two contrasting freaks of nature
are the Island of Fire and the Lake
of Snow. The Island of Fire is called
the Home of Hot Devils. 1t is sit
uated in the midst of large lake of
boiling mud in the Island of Java.
The steam and gases which arise
from the sticky mud form them
selves into bubbles, attaining a diam
eter of five or six feet, and sail high
up in the air like balloons, carried
hither and thither by the wind and
finally exploding with a loud crash.
The biggest snow lake is seen from
the summit Of Hispar pass in the
Karakoram range. 1t is more than
300 square miles in area. In Switzer-
land the sea of ice might better be
called the sea of snow, as the sur
face is broken up by solar heat,
which makes a minute assuring in
the ice, giving it the appearance of
snow,

Yale Review. Rather, let there be d

sumo the day. In summer it requires
but the late afternoon, with such bor-
rowing of the night as is necessary
for the journey home. You leave the
street car, clanking with your bundles

stretches, it is sad to say, is already
infected with the vices Of the city.

FORMAL" HUNT POOR SPORT
However, 1t Is Something of
Different Matter.

The formal cheetah hunt, which is
sure to constitute a part of the enter
tainment provided by any one of a
couple of dozen of the most prominent
native chiefs of northern India for
his distinguished guests, is, if any
thing, tanner and more tiresome than
a state tiger hunt, with the latter's
elaborate provisions for rounding up
the torpid quarry and still more elabo-
rate precautions against anyone but
the heaters being mauled. An in
formal cheetah hunt, however, where
things are taken as they come, is rare
ly very entertaining experience. On
such occasions, as no maharajah's rep
utation for hospitality is held to hang
upon the number of slaughtered buck
laid at the feet of the guest of honor
In the official photographs, it is posi-
BILE to give the quarry something like
a sporting chance, the consequence be-
ing that the cheetah is seen far nearer
the limit of its really phenomenal
stalking and sprinting powers than
when the game, frightened and con-
fused by a line of beaters, is driven
under the supercilious nose of the
"hunter. Wide World Magazine.

A piece of sheet rubber was placed

fitted over it, the inner surface being
curved to fit the pipe. The block and
rubber packing were clamped against
the pipe by means of stick, notched
to fit against the pipe and held by
twisted wire, a block being used to
wedge the packing and cover block

Fervent Prayer.

Doctors, it appears, do sometimes re-
sort to prayer, according to the Medi-
cal Times. But, since such communica-
tons are usually strictly confidential
in character, they are seldom recorded
(here below, at least,) although they
undoubtedly express the innermost
warnings of the supplicant's soul. A
certain Doctor Jacobson has recently,
and openly, prayed to be delivered
from the following things:
Health insurance; from deadbeats /;
from the neurasthenic who keeps a
diary; from the birth-contrOl crank
and other professional sociologiSts;
from the writer's of unneeded text

Remarkable Premonitinn-

A striking instance of premonition
is reported from Grifiithstown, Mon.
mouthshire, Great Britain. While a
maternity nurse was walking home,
she had a presentiment that her pa
tent and the child whom she had just
left were in danger. Hurrying home,
she prevailed upon her husband, a
member of the local fire brigade, to
go to the post Office, where he found
the bedroom occupied by the sub-post-
mistress and her baby to be on fire.
He removed the mother and child and
extinguished the fire, which had orig
mated in a wooden beam near the fire.
