step in preparation. Now for the bisque. This requires at least six écrevisses per person. Pass the tails of several écrevisses through a sieve and put them in the crème velouté, with several other whole écrevisses and some which have been minced. Add only enough chicken to give consistency to the mixture, if the écrevisses are not enough. Heighten with a little cayenne pepper. Most dealers in sea foods in Paris have écrevisses in their ice-boxes during the summer. Écrevisses generally sell by the piece, varying according to size from 1fr. 50 to 3fr. 75. Tiglath Pileser Further excavations at Jezireh, in Syria, have resulted in the clearing of the Palace of Tiglath Pileser, King of Assyria, and in the discovery of enamels, little figures and ivory plates, the subjects of which are Egyptian but the workmanship Phoenician.

Rockefeller Jr. The Books of the Day FOR THE MUSEUM SELECTED POEMS OF WILLIAM WATSON (Butler & Co., London; 10s. 6d.). TIME IMPORTUNGS, by Sylvia Townsend Warner. (Chatto & Windus, London; 5 shillings). Before the war, before the beginning of the century, William Watson was well known. During the war, he wrote poems of extravagant praise of Mr. Lloyd George and kindred gentlemen, and became Sir William Watson. Now he bids for second fame with a selection of his verse. In writing of Gray, he expresses his own ideal, and in the writing admits that he has failed to achieve it: Gray, who on worn thoughts conferred That second youth, the perfect word, The elected and predestined phrase That had lain bound, long nights and days, To wear at last, when once set free, Immortal clarity. How far is all this wordiness from “the perfect Word”! Alexander Pope said the same thing, in writing of What’s oft been said before, yet never quite so well. Justly irritated by the carelessness of the younger poets, Sir William returns again and again to a defence of his own methods: Nature! whose legendary seas Labor a pebble without ease. Till they brought perfection That miracle of polishing, That never negligently yet, Fashioned an April violet, Nor would forgive, did June disclose Unceremoniously the rose. Yet roses appear unceremoniously enough. But Sir William rides

Till they brought perfection That miracle of polishing, That never negligently yet, Fashioned an April violet, Nor would forgive, did June disclose Unceremoniously the rose. Yet roses appear unceremoniously enough. But Sir William rides again to the charge, saying that Nature is a power that: Visibly aches when called to bring Some inchoate amorphous thing. Into a world her curious wit Would fain have shaped all-exquisite As the acorn cup’s simplicity, Or the Moon’s patience with the sea, Or the superb, the golden grief Of each October for each leaf, Phrased in a rhetoric that excels Isaiah’s and Ezekiel’s. Unashamed and without fear, the Poetic Knight is untiring: You scorn as idle—you who praise Each posturing hero of the herd— The lofty bearing of a phrase, The noble countenance of a word. “This has no import for the age!” And so your votive wreaths you heap On him who brought unto our Stage A mightier dulness over the deep. Great Heaven! When these with clamor shrill Drift out to Lethe’s harbor bar. A verse of Lovelace shall be still As vivid as a pulsing star. But what is true of Lovelace is not necessarily, or probably, true of Watson. Miss Sylvia Townsend Warner has the same poetic ideals as Sir William Watson, but she is more concerned with following than expressing them.

BEGGAR PRINCE STILL BEGGING LORD KNUTSFORD For what may be the last time, the name of “Knutsford” is figuring at the bottom of a clever appeal for funds for the London Hospital which is now occupying a prominent position in the English papers. For Sydney Holland, Viscount Knutsford, the inimitable “Prince of Beggars,” who for more than thirty years has been compelling rich and poor to give and to keep giving, is going out of business. Every fifth year for thirty years he has made a special appeal on behalf of the largest hospital of England which stands in the poorest quarter of London, and on this occasion he declares that, as he is now seventy-three, he can scarcely have the energy to carry on another appeal five years hence. Some time ago a large cheque was sent to the London Hospital made out to the order of the “Champion Beggar.” It was endorsed by Lord Knutsford and accepted by the bank without protest or even inquiry. This is a typical instance of the way in which he has made his name known as an appealer for funds. The son of the Conservative statesman, Sir Henry Thurston Holland, who was created a

This is a typical instance of the way in which he has made his name known as an appealer for funds. The son of the Conservative statesman, Sir Henry Thurston Holland, who was created a peer on retiring from office in 1895, the present peer first turned to the law as a profession but he never practiced at the Bar very seriously. Once his interest became enlisted in the London Hospital, he devoted the whole of his great business ability and learning to furthering the fortunes of that institution. The old-fashioned appeals for subscriptions from the wealthy having failed to bring a sufficient income, he decided that plain begging was the best means. From the start he set himself to extracting copper and silver from the multitude. He it was who induced shopkeepers to place collecting boxes on their counters for the receipt of “unconsidered coppers,” and it was he also who invented the most successful collecting box ever placed before the citizens of London—the clock-faced box on which is inscribed: “It costs a penny a second to keep the London Hospital. Help to keep the London Hospital for one second.” There can be few men with more interests and accomplishments than Lord Knutsford. He is a fine shot, was once famous as an oarsman, plays the flute and is a remarkable conjurer. He applies his inventive gifts even to his clothes; he wears evening

He applies his inventive gifts even to his clothes; he wears evening shirts of his own design which have an artificial breath in front and button up the back. Many are the stories told of his keenness after money for the London Hospital. On one occasion the press recorded the fact that a man had died and left much money to be distributed at the discretion of his executor. A few hours afterwards a hospital secretary was on the executor’s doorstep preparing to ring the bell. The door opened. Out walked Lord Knutsford. “Good Heavens,” muttered the secretary, “I might have known it.” FUNERAL DIRECTORS. AMERICAN FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER Bernard I.

LAPWINGS’ OCEAN FLIGHT When great numbers of lapwings appeared in America last December, ornithologists became interested. Since only a few isolated examples of this species had been recorded in North America during the previous century, something very much out of the ordinary must have happened to bring them there. What was it? It was established that they came from England, for one of them, shot at Bonavista, Newfoundland, on December 27, was found to have been “ringed” as a nestling at Ullswater, Cumberland, in May, 1866. Mr. H. F. Witherby declared in a British Birds that the lapwings made an involuntary flight across the Atlantic during the severe frost, in fact, were virtually blown overseas. The birds were suffering want in the North of England, where the frozen state of the ground made the obtaining of food difficult. After four days of continuous hard frost, they were led on the evening of December 19 to seek the comparative mildness of Central and Southern Ireland. They were, however, carried out of their course and away over the Atlantic by a furious Easterly gale that was raging at the time. The British Meteorological Office charts for December 20 show a Westward stream of air averaging about fifty-five miles an hour in velocity at a height of 500 feet, by the whole distance from the Western seaboard of England to within one hundred miles of the coast of Newfoundland. This, together with the normal flying speed of the lapwings of forty-five miles an hour, would have sufficed to take the flock across the ocean

This, together with the normal flying speed of the lapwings of forty-five miles an hour, would have sufficed to take the flock across the ocean to Newfoundland in twenty-four hours. Even if the birds had discovered when they were off the West coast of Ireland that the gale had carried them out of their course they would have been unable to return, as the velocity of the Easterly wind was considerably greater than their maximum rate of flight. A remarkable feature is that this long flight was made by birds which had been without adequate nourishment for some time. There was no point, moreover, at which they could have rested on the water. The birds were thin, tired and tame when they reached Newfoundland; some were so weak that they were easily caught. Others succumbed. An unbroken oceanic flight of twenty-four hours is regarded as a wonderful feat for a land-bird even in the most favorable conditions.
