England, ireland and the Pope.

In the twelfth century Pope Adrian ", the only Englishman that ever oc. eupied the papai chair, granted the hereditary lordship of Ireland to Henry II Of England. In 1172 Henry II visited Ireland in person, and the clergy and great princes acknowledged his supremacy and he was recognized "Lerd of Ireland" In 1177 John, the youngest son of Henry IT, was granted this lordship, but his authority was only nominal, and he left the govern ment to John d'Cource, member of celebrated Norman family of Ox- fOrdshire and Somersetshire, and whose percentage was entirely un- known. In 121O John visited Ireland, but in 1213 resigned the kingdom to the Pope, and for second time the papal claim to Ireland was formally recorded

SnIV a Beuinner.

An old farmer was driving along lane along golf course and stopped for moment to watch the game. ''What's that?" he demanded curious ". Golf" was the reply. Want to try your hand, uncle?' Don't mind if I do," declared the farmer, wrapping the lines around the dashboard and climbing down.

In the tropics rock-boring and wood, boring shell-fish are among the great- est natural agents of destruction in the shallow waters of the sea. It was not until the builders of iron ships launched the present navles of peace or war upon the deep that the hulls Of vessels moored for any time in harbor were safe from their attacks. The shells of these molluscs are often not at all obviously adapted for bor- ing: Frequently they are very thin, looking almost like hardened paper.

Proper Illustration.

It is 8 mistake, ayers the nluminat- ing Engineer Society, to use bright light against a dark background, and while an artistic fixture is well enough as a decoration, yet lamps which in themselves are good and suitable will not be satisfactory from a hygienic standpoint unless the fixtures are in the right position. In planning the il- lumination of room it is only com- mon sense to determine just what you are going to use that room for, ana then to arrange the lighting. By do- ing this it should be possible for peo- pie of middle age to add years of ex- cellent eyesight which otherwise would soon diminish. Where children of various ages are in family the matter of artificial light is of great im- portance. The general health of a growing boy or girl may be seriously affected by careless lighting, especial ly in rooms where they read OF study fhoir lessons

Fish in Deep Mines,

Through accidental Imprisonment, mines acquire a surprising fauna from the surface. Live fish--a species of barbel--were lately noticed in Trans vaal gold mine, $500 feet down q verti- cal shaft and are supposed to have fallen into the mines as spawn. When discovered they had grown to a length of six to twelve inches. In very dry weather young bullfrogs have beer seen to jump deliberately down the shaft, evidently after water and seem to have survived the fearful plunge.
