Cadets Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadets of Victoria, B. C.. have recently com pleted a l 1,400mile ride on bicycles, bearing dispatches from the state con- mandant to the minister for defense. The small riders averaged more than h miles an hour, and they completed their task 6 hours and 23 minutes ahead of schedule. This fine perform ance reused public interest in the new system of cadet training, which has taken the place of the monotonous drill-yard evoluuons. Australia is training its youngest soldiers in camaraderie, self-sacriflce, alertness and love of athletics. The story of the 1,40O-mie ride against unex- pected obstacles has set a standard which will not be easily forgotten by the Australian boy. While the dis patch ride has done much to direct attention to happier system of train- ing, it has also served to awaken the interest of fathers and elder brothers.

CITY WAITS TO BE CLOTHED
Jerusalem Far From Being Restored to the Glory That Has Been
 Promised Her.

The view of Jerusalem as one leaves the Garden of Gethsemane draws the heart with sympathy. The walls rise severely above bare slopes where nothing grows, for it is outside of the city proper that Biblical prophecies of the desolation of Jerusalem seem to Ne fulfilled.
 Today the city stands midway be- tween the horrors of the Turkish regime and the promised good of the British mandatory rule. Nothing has been ione as yet In public way to beautify the city. North and west the Houses struggle outside the walls; on the south forbiddlng slopes border the .aad to Bethlehem, and on the east Mes the terrible Valley of Jehosha- shat-a valley of dry bones, William D. McCracken writes in Asia Maga- zine.
 Seventeen times destroyed-bitterly hated anxiously sought-how desper- ate & history since Nebuchadnezzar captured it more than 25 centuries sgoI
 Redeemed today, but In her naked Eess, Jerusalem waits to be clothed. She has as yet no grace; no covering for her ugly wounds. Some day her sides will glisten with the brightness ef heavenly radiance; she will be washed and anointed like a bride waiting for the bridegroom.

HONOR SHOULD B. AMERiCA'S
Washington Man Really Was the Frst 70 Demonstrate Possibilities of
 Wireless Teiesraphy.

A dentist living in Washington, D. C., invented, patented and demon strated wireless telegraphy before Marconi was born. Had it not been for the attitude of big newspapers and the stubbornness and lack of vision of congress, this country today would be enjoying the honor. distinction and credit of presenting wireless telegra- phy to the world. The name of this comparatively unknown inventive gen. ius is Mahlon LOomis. Back in the sixties and seventies he eked out a modest living by plugging molars and making "store" teeth for the politi- clans and social leaders of Washing ton. Doctor Loomis called his discov- cry "aeral telegraphy" His first pub- lie demonstration was made in 1866 from the two peaks of the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia, some IS miles apart. From each peak an ordinary kite was elevated, connected with an insulated copper wire attached at the lower end to a telegraphing appa- ratus. The operators of each party were provided with telescopes, with which they could sight from one sta tion to the other and read the signals. When all was in readiness a message was sent by the doctor along the wire of his kite, and was received at the station on the other mountain top just as though the two kites had been con- nected with a wire In the ordinary way. In this manner communications were kept up until the fact was thor oughly demonstrated that telegraphng could be done as readily without as with connecting wires.

BURIED WITH THEIR HUSBAND
Wlvse Of mea,bsrs Of the Barau Tribs Of the Congo Are lntered With
 the Corpee.

The Rarua tribe in the Congo dis. trtct of Africa have a number of strange and horrible customs. but of them all their burial customs are the most terrible. When a man dies large grave is dug. The corpse and his w1ves-these may be anywhere from two to twenty-are escorted to the hole with wild music and the in. terested attendance of u g entire tribe. The chief wife is thrust into the hole, and the corpse Is then lowered. The second wife follows. The dead mans relatives then proceed to break the arms and legs of the two wives so they cannot get out of the hole. The head of the corpse is placed in the lap Of the head wife, and the feet in the lap of the second wife.
 The rest of the wives ore then thrust Into the hole, their limbs broken. and they are forced to sit in a circle about the corpse and It's human supporters. The priest chants a few words and everyone falls to with rude shovela dishing ea1th ,,ato the hole, They nev- CT stop until the grave is full and the corpse and the living wives buried far under Ak sqxtA, The hQYis Qf the wives with their broken limbs and fear Of the terrible death are drowned by the banging of drums and the yells of the delighted tribe.

DOG RELAYS CALL OF PHONE
Make a Mistake in Notifying His Mistress.

Not far from Boston lives a dog by the name of Timbuctoo, a dog which has never been trained but which of Its own accord acquired a trick" which besides being clever is decidedly helpful. His home is on farm, which Is served by a seven-party telephone line. The call at Tmbuctoo's house Is five bells, or as the toll operator would say, Ring five" Wherever his mistress Is when the telephone rings five times Timbuctoo will go to her and give five short, sharp barks. He has never been known to make mis- take either by barking more or less than five barks, or by calling his mis- tress when the bell rings some other call.
 In order to "show off Timbuctoo," his mistress asks a neighbor to call her In few minutes, then she goes somewhere out of range of the tele- phone, and Timbuctoo never falls to give proof of his trustworthy sum- moning

 Why" asked the butcher.

WAR INCREASES POWER

Expect America to Join Nations Hay ing Ministers at Pope's Court
 Power at eZnith.
By Henry Wood.

(United Press Staff Correspondent )
 Rome, March 21.-With the certain resumption in the very near future of diplomatic relations between France and the Vatican and with a movement under way for the establishment of such relations between the United States and the Holy See, the diplo- matic position of the latter will be greatly enhanced.
 The Vatican, already as a result of the war, has gained a diplomatic representation never before attained Tn the history of the church. During the past years five new countries ac- credited ministers to the Vatican whilst the ambassador to the Vatican established early in the war by Great Britain as a temporary war measure was made permanent.
 The five new countries to exchange diplomatic representatives with the Vatican are Czecho- -Slovakia, Poland Switzerland, koumania and Jugo- Slavia. In addition the legations of Peru, Chll, Brazil and Prussia were raised to the rank of embassies. The representatives from Prussia has the title of German Ambassador to the Vatican.
 A total of thirty-one countries now maintain official diplomatic relations with the Vatican, five with the rank of ambassadors and twenty-six witt the rank of ministers. To this num- Der it is expected here both France and the United States will be added the former with the rank of an am 1 bassador and the latter presumably with a minister.
 As a consequence the Vatican is to- day in diplomatic relations not only with all of the great Catholic coun tries of the world and most of the Protestant nations, but it has sue ceeded in entering into semi-offcia

ARKANSAS BABY
 GETS A PRESENT"
(By United Prs0al

New York, March 21.-Suzanne, who is eight months old and who must have just happened, because there are no records anywhere to prove that she ever had father or mother, lay hunched like a tiny ball in her crib in summit, N. J., home for babies yesterday, entirely unconcerned over the fact that she had been the sub ject of especial attention on the part of the legislature of Arkansas. Nothing at all interested Suzanne yes terday except the pleasurable possibili- ties of milk bottle, which she was investigating with singleness of pur- pose.
 Some one thought it would be rath- CT nice to tell Suzanne that the leg islature of Arkansas had appropriate ed fund of ,250 to care for her un- til she can care for herself, even if the baby was hardly old enough to understand. So the visitor told Su- zanne and Suzanne just looked at her and gurgled into the milk bottle. No, that's wrong. Suzanne didn't look at her. She just turned her eyes that way. Suzanne has never looked at anybody, and perhaps she never will, because she was born blind and left slghtless and crying and hungry on a doorstep in Fort Smith, Ark.
 Nearly everybody in Fort Smith felt sorry for Suzanne when they heard that her father and mother had de- serted her, because she was so little and because she was blind Every. body realized that Suzanne would never have as much fun as other chil- dren; she could never see toy train scooting over the carpet, and while she might enjoy lolly-pops, she would never be able to slide one from her mouth, look at it and say, "Oooo look! It's almost gone"
 And because Suzanne was blind someone took her case to the legis- lature, the state having never made any provision for the care of it's blind babies. And wealthy woman of

Arkansas became interested and sent Suzanne east to the Arthur Home for blind babies in Summit, and then the legislature appropriated the small fortune and credited it to Suzanne's account. And finally pr. Lynn Emer- son of Orange, who attended Suzanne when she had chickenpox, said yes- terday that he believed the cataracts which cover her eyes could be re- moved in time, so it may happen that some day Suzanne may see tree, and she may even go back to Arkansas and walk along it's dusty roads and see the old darkies sitting on the cabin stoops and chewing cut plug and whiting on a stick.
