The porkers should be made to understand this truth." "â€"liiis understood that great exciteâ€" ment prevailed in certain circles until it was explained that this disastrous statement was the result of an unforâ€" tunate double misprint.

Feathered Friends as g+» ‘The Royal Wooing. The engagement of the Duke of York and Lady Blizabeth Bowesâ€"Lyon, the charming daughter of the Earl of Strathmore, did not come as a surâ€" prise, says &n English writer. I heard of the romance more than a year ago, when the two young people were freâ€" quently seen together on shooting exâ€" peditions at Glamis Castle, the Earl‘s historic seat in Forfarshire. The Duke of York‘s wooing was very ardent and began, I believe, during the war. Lady Elizabeth is twentyâ€"three years of age, four years younger than the Duke. As you know she was one of Princess Mary‘s bridesmaidsâ€"one of the prettiest, in factâ€"and is very popular in Society. Lady Elizabeth is also a very fine dancer, and much sought after as a partner. No sooner does she enter a ballâ€"room than her programme is simply covered with names. It has been said in many quarters that she refused the Duke of York three times before finally accepting him. Of course, she was in love with him all the time; but who can fathom the mind of a girl in love? The Duke was very determined and would not take "No" for an answer. I think they really became engaged last September, when the Duke of York paid his most recent visit to Glamis Castle. Lady Elizabeth spent the greater part of her childbood at the Castle, which is quite famous throughout the world for its mystery. Theore is said to be a secret roocm there, and the secret is only revealed to the oldest sons of the family on their twentyâ€"first birthday. Wien is a man too old to do good work? Whatever th > answer, it is corâ€" tain that many of the world s greatest men did their best work after they bad passed their sixtisth birthday. _ The famous novelist, Willlam de Morgan, did not start writing until he was sixtyâ€"two. o The great Italian painter, Titian, continued to work until he was ninetyâ€" eight. His great masterpiece, ‘"Venus," was one of the great pictures which came from his brush after he was sixty. â€" Gladstone was eightyâ€"three when he last became Prime Minister of England. Three wonderful operas, "Othello," "Falstaff," and "Avo Maria," were writâ€" ten by Verdi when ho was seventyâ€" four, sighty, and eightyâ€"five respectiveâ€" ly. In modorn times the great Ameriâ€" can financier, Cornolius Vanderbilt, added twenty million dollars to his forâ€" tune after ho was seventy. Hokuss!, a famous Japanese artist, said: "All that I produced before the age of seventy is not worth taking into account. At sevontyâ€"five I have learnâ€" ed a littlo about the structure of naâ€" ture. At eighty I shall have made more progress; at ninety I shall have peneâ€" trated the mystery of things." He died at ninetyâ€"six, after having proved that what he had sald was true. Acquiring Fame in Old Age. Anothor great man who has admitâ€" ted that advancing age is not a handiâ€" cap is Thomas Edison.

Friends of tha Earl have told me But actuany- ;t is not so. You would be incorrect to the extent of 49,000 Ib.! The h.p. unit of power is a fraud, and the late James Watt, of engine famo, is responsible. He was a v@ery careful engineer in ‘theory and prac tice, and discovered, by many expertâ€" ments, that the raising of 22,000 lb. one foot per minute was a g00d averâ€" one foot per mir ago horseâ€"power. _ But "horsepower" today &s reckonâ€" ed at 33,000 !b. per foot per ininuteâ€" 11,000 lb. in excess! 7 4 ECCC TW C PVE eCns That is duo to the fact that Watt, in his auxiety to encourage business, ofâ€" fered to sell engines which would deâ€" velop 33,000 lb. per foot as a horseâ€" powerâ€"a third more than the actual! It would seem that he meant ulttâ€" mately to be honest, but he died before that happened, and so bequeathed to the world, which has accopted it, a false unit measurement of horseâ€" power Engineers, of course, know of the error, and make due allowance for it; but the average individual does not. Your 10 h.p. car is, therefore, but a 6 23 one, and ‘its power is equal to raising 22,000 lb, a foot a minute, and not 333,000 !b.

The name â€" Glamis (pronounced Glahms) is mentioned in the Witches‘ sceno in Macbeth: "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee Thane of Glamis." + A Record in Parliamentary Annais. British parliamentary annals hold nothing to equal the record for conâ€" tinuous service set by Frederick J. Glackmeyer, who, on January 23 last, at the opening of the Ontario legislaâ€" ture, entered upon his fiftyâ€"sixth year as sergeantâ€"atarms of the provincial assembly. | The town planning division of the| | Canadian Parks Branch of the Departâ€"| ment of the Interior points out that the zoning of cities becomes obligatory in | ‘Gmt Britain during the present year.! ‘In the United States more than one ‘hund-red cities have adopted zoning re-! |¢ulatlona end a number of Canadian , | cities are also moving in this direction | wbecause "zoning stabilizes property | | values" and reduces the cost of civic. lgovemment. | Sergt. Glackmeyer has carried the mace, symbolic of royal authority, to and from the legislative chamber daily during every session of the House since Confederation. He was appointâ€" ed to the office on December 22, 1867, and discharged his duties for the first time at the opening of the first leg!sâ€" lature of the province, on December 27. l The zoning of cities has for its purâ€"| pose the direction of the future buildâ€"| |ing development of the city along orâ€" | \ dorly lines and this in the interest of ‘ all the phases of city lifeâ€"commerce, | ‘ilndustry and residence. The cost of| ‘\jumble building on the moral side is ftho destruction of the economic efâ€"| | flciency, happiness and life of the peoâ€"| f ple and the creation of social disorder, ;dlsoan and discontent, When slums | idowalop they create the gravest and | | most expensive problem of communal | ;llto.

Ho has served under fifteen legislative assemblies, eight prime ministers, thirteen lieutenantâ€" governors, and fourteen speakers, In 1916 he received from his Majesty King Georgo the Imperial Service Orâ€" der. Despite his $1 years of age, Sergt. Glackmeyer is still, mentally and physically, as alert as men many years his junior. The Business Side of Zoning. The distinct business side of zoning brings illumination to the fact that an unzoned city is constantly lowering the assessment value of property and thus decreasing the civic income and increasing general taxes, An indusâ€" trious family man invests $5,000 of his life savings in a home. The property is valued at $10,000 and the home ownâ€" er obtains & loan on the recognized gecurity of 50 per cent. margin in value. As soon as the transaction is completed the owner finds that an unâ€" desirable industry is opered up next doorâ€"this through lack of zoning re gulations, ‘The home value of the citiâ€" zen‘s property immediately drops to $7,500 because the home environment has been changed for the worses,. The home owner immediately loses $2,600, ie., 50 per cent. of his life savings. The loan company loses 50 per cent. of Its margin of eecurity and the city foses 25 per cent, of the assessed value of the property because it is imâ€" mediately called upon to reduce its asâ€" sessment by that amount. The cost of coning the city might roughly be stated at oneâ€"twentieth of one per cent. of the assessed ‘values involved. King George‘s Crown weighs 39 ozs.

The answer came at once: "A speoâ€" trum is a band of colors beginning with red and ending with violet; and they are the seven colors that make the rainbow." Then the teacher took a threeâ€"sided plece of glass called a prism and held it by the window so that a sunbeam passed through it to the wall. There on the white plaster was a spectrum, or a rainbow, and it was made up of all the cclors that compose white sun« light.

Great progress, states the report, has been made during the year just closed with the construction of what wid be, when she is completed, the largost and most powerful motor lifeboat to have cabin accommodation, This boat is being built for the institution‘s station on the Mersey. She will be sixty feet long, fitted with two new engines of 90 horsepower each, and have a radius of over 100 miles, Newest Lifeboat is a Marvel. Her two cabins will hold fifty people while a total of 150 persons can be taken on board. This boat marks a very great development in the work of rescue from shipwreck, for she will be the first to rely entirely on motor power. So satisfied are the institution adâ€" visers with the work accomplished by motor lifeboats that there are now thirtyâ€"eight of them in the fleet of 238 lifeboats. Six more motor lifeboats are nearing completion; eight new ones will be laid down shortly, and anâ€" other six are projected. As previously reported, the last o€ the eight motor boats sent to the coast last year was fitted with a sixâ€"cylinder engine of 90 horsepower, and is so enâ€" tirely enclosed that it could be comâ€" pletely submerged and etill continue to run so long above water.
