The origin OF silver plating Is as
cribed by Horace Walpole to a man

in n letter about lone man having
discovered the art of plating copper
with silver. Whether his account Is
cornect is doubtful: but there seems
to be no other record OF the origin Of
the art.

New York, Feb. 9th.-The sensational
story cabled trom London by the cores
pondert of a United States ne spaper
agency on Monday night, stating that
an official of the British Foreign Office
had issued a statement alleging Anglo
American relations to be strained, was
generally discredited here. None of the
leading New York papers printed the
story yesterday, though today editions
carry dispatches from Washington or
London deprecating lit. It is generally
believed that if such a statement was
made it was altogether unofficial and was
merely presented in the form Of a re-
quest to the correspondents to exercise
care in handling news dealing with mat

Dear Sir,
1t is very strange how some
people. who. by the way, ougi t to know,
and do know better, infringe upon the
laws.
1t has appeared a few times in the
newspaper the way in which DR., Long
field Smith drives his car across corners
without sounding his horn. This is in
direct disregard of Chapter IL. Part 2,
Section IS Of the Police Regulations.
Will the Police do their duty in seeing
that the law is obeyed by this gentle
man, Or will they allow him to continue
breaking the law at will :?
This gentleman seems to have an utter
disregard for the law, as far as the
aforementioned paragraph is concerned,
and the sooner the Police shows him
that he is not above the law, the quicker
and better he will observe them.
With thanks for space Mr.. Editor,
