ON MAIN POINTS
OF NAVAL TREATY
France Delays Assent to
Restricting Size of
Auxiliary Ships.

Continued from Page One.
that 1t was a subject which the
French cabinet and. its experts must
pass upon. The other powers then
agreed. and the final adoption was
deferred pending hearing from
Paris.
Great Size Held Necessary.
The matter of aircraft carriers
resulted in a full and free discus
sion. 1t was conceded at the outset
of the debate that the original ton
mage suggestions of the United
states were impracticable. These
ships, the experts said, must be OF
great size. Of course they also have
to be limited. so that they cannot
be converted into capital ships. The
American naval experts suggested
a limit of $1,000 tons and that the
armament limitation If S-inch rifles
imposed OF auxiliary naval craft
be attached to the aircraft carrier
type.
The Italian representatives called
attention to the fact 2 that IL the
original Limitation were - to be i'm
posed, they could only build one
ship of this type. 1t was pointed
out that If anything then should
happen to that particular vessel,
the Italian navy would be most Sc
riously handicapped. The Italian
delegation said that they wanted To
aid in every way in completingnthe
program, but that in their opinion
they must have not less than two
ships. The justice of their position
Immediately was apparent, and the
other delegates promptly Endorsed
| it.
British Want Five.
For Great Britain Lord Lee point
ed out that. while they now have
| five ships of this type. they all are
| in the nature of experiments. and
| that they intend to scrap them In
the near future.
The British, however. contended
| that they must have the right TO
build FIVE new craft Of this type
with the $1,000 maximum under
| stood.
Admiral de Bon for France en-
phasized the statements of the
| Italian spokesman. He said that
! France wanted two CT these vessels
! for use in Europe and one for use
| in her colonial possessions. But
he said. that he was perfectly will
| ing to accept a reduction of total
tonnage to 10000 so that the three
would only be a trifie in excess OF
the original proposition. The ia
panese argued that they absolutely
need three vessels of $1,000 each.
1t then was agreed that this ratio
should be observed, and that when
the treaty is completed. it will make
these ratio limitations. The COM
mittee then adjourned subject &c

MONSTER EGGS

An egg, equivalent in size to $50 hens
eggs and in volume to two gallons, is on
view in the museums. The egg was laid
centuries ago by now extinct fowl, the
aepyornis, and is designated as fossil by
Psychologists. The aepyorns, according
to the results of expert research, was
huge wingless creature, the largest and
most formidable bird of prey that ever
trod the earth. In life it has been var
iously estimated to have stood from seven
to twelve feet in height, possessing mas
sive and powerful limbs. This great bird
surpassed the ostrich, the king of modern
birds, both in size, herculean strength and
build. 1t formerly lived in considerable
numbers on the Island of Madagascar.

AGE OF NIAGARA A MYSTERY

To the question, "How old is Niagara
Falls?" geologists have returned replies
varying by tens of thousands of years.
At first it was estimated that the Niagara
River came in to existence through changes
in the level of the land around the Great
Lakes about $4,000 years ago. Later this
was reduced to only 10000 years. Lyell
increased the estimate again to $4,000
years and still later other scientists re-
duced it to about 5000 years. AT one
period, it appears many thousands of
years ago, the height of the falls was 420
feet.-Ex. ~

FUTURE RE-LUMBER PRODUCER

South Africa is now pointed out by a
leading authority as one of the worlds
best fields for timber growing. The work,
he says, must be done on large scale by
the Government, as individuals cannot
wait for the returns. Various kinds of
pine are declared to be the trees most
suitable. The variable winds exert such
twisting upon growing trees that
straight-grained timber of certain. kinds
is difficult to obtain. Pine seems to with
stand the comforting influence more ef-
fectively than other kinds, and very fine,
straight grained timber of this sort is pro-
duced.-Ex.

THE CONTENTED WAYFARER

Wondering, l watch the unconcern
With which little child at birth
Comes hazarding this mortal stay,
Facing the road with careless mirth,
Discerning love at every turn
His only task to laugh and learn
And find new joy for every day.
When comes the end of our sojourn
Upon these fateful ways of earth,
May we 60, too, with child-heart gay
To take our little wages worth;
So gladly, sure we shall discern
But love along some friendly way;
Go finding all for which we yearn.

LARGEST DOORS ON EARTH

The doors in question are those at the
west entrance of St. PauPs Cathedral,
London, England, and the reason why they
are not noticed more than they are is that,
except in the hot summer weather, they are
nearly always closed. There may be
larger doors, but not all in one piece like
these. Each of the two leaves is of solid
oak, they stand about thirty feet high,
and their weight is enormous. They are
built without nail, the various cross
pieces and panels being held together by
means of bronze bolts, with bosses at each
side. The doors are nearly as old as the
cathedral itself, and have upon them the
initials of the carpenter who made Them.
The hinges are, of course, immensely mas
sive, the main pairs at top and bottom be-
ing deeply sunk into the solid Portland
stone of which the great structure is built.
These doors are only opened on State oc-
casions, such as visit by the King or the
Lord Mayor. On one occasion when a
gale from the west was blowing up Lud-
gate Hill, it took squad of twenty sturdy
policemen to force the great leaves back
into place against the pressure of the
wind.-Ex.

ERIN'S PAST AND FUTURE

dreamed stood on Tara's hill
And saw file of men pass by,
With measured pace and aspect grave
As if imbued with purpose high.
A Celtic maid of classic mold,
And draped in white, flag displayed
With harp of gold and shamrock wreath
Upon its green expanse portrayed.
A withered form of sanity mien,
With crozier, led the passing file,
Nor needed herald to proclaim
St. Patrick, dear to Erin's Isle.
And following close upon the saint
There came group of holy men,
That made the light of purer faith
Dawn on benighted heathen's ken.
This stately pageant from the past
Displayed successive, famous men,
Who through dim, centuries of time
Achieved with speech, or sword, or pen.
And Ossian, Homer of the race,
With magic harp, was in the train,
And many sage, with warrior bold,
Whose deeds inspired the harpist's strain.
There, too, was Brian, none more brave,
Who proved on Clontarfs bloody field
That Scandinavia's bravest men,
Confounded by the Celts, must yield.
Then draped in gray the poets passed,
With heads bent low, grieving throng,
Whose Celtic muse could only prompt
To pensive moods in sad, sweet song.
The great procession passed away,
A mystic glamor left behind;
The harp long mute in Tara's hall
Again with rapture swayed the mind.
The days of Ireland's grief gone by.
The splendor of her past restored,
Joy reigns throughout the sacred isle,
With nothing left to be deplored.

THE POT OF SHAMROCK

"Oh, grandma, here's a present,
And tits come a distance, too;
It's a little pot of shamrocks,
And it came addressed to you.
It's all the way from Treland,-

They were gathered at your birthplace
On the banks of Avonmore."
"From Ireland, do you tell me?
o darling, is it true?
Katie, let me feel them,
For you say twas there they grew;
1 can scarce believe it;
Is it really what you say?
From my birthplace in old Ireland,
Dear Ireland, far away?
although Pm truly thankful
For the blessings that Gods hand,
Has brought to me here, Katie,
In this bright and happy land,

In the comforts of the new,
For my heart is three parts buried
Where those little shamrocks grew"
