I get"signals from H20 and P.D.Q. practically every night by tuning to C-sharp, and think I can get A. W.0. L. by cutting in an interlocking re- lay between the honeycomb and thé Erie canal. Until recently I used a 5-string tenor, hardwood amplifier with 240 turns of No. 4 1-4 barb wire around the front side cover, but I found that, with this arrangement, the fol- licles of the heating element had a tendency to become impregnated with the pigment from the valve stem, so, on advice from General John Pershing, I removed the drift slide and substituted a duplex auto- matic stoker, which allows the left dorsal ulna bone to oscillate between the hydrometer and the upper sling swivel.

Over the fireplace is a Dutch man o'war an admiral's ship with its great lamps and ornate poop and its three tiers of guns. Each is a step ahead of the other, each an advance in knowledge of shipbuilding and of And then, last of all, is edly the finest, most efficient, most beautiful sailing vessel ever to go down to the sea And to-day they are all gone, all replaced by a power unknown only a few years ago.

St. Catharines, June 12.--S8t. | George's Anglican church romped away with the postponed May 24th athletic meet held here last week with a lead of twenty-eight points over its nearest competitor; Memor- ial Methodist church, who rolled up a total score of thirty points. This is the fourth successive year that St. George's has cleaned up on the an- nual Interchurch Athletic meet. On account of the inclement necessary to postpone the fourth an- nual meet to last week, when it was run off on Monday and Tuesday nights. St. George's secured a clear lead of 27 points in group "A" in the first night's competition. W. Hawke, St. George's, won the medal for the highest individual score, in this group, with a splendid score of 10 3-4 points. In group "B," a tie between St. George's and Memorial was broken, on the second night, by Memorial in a closely contested hop, step and jump. Wright of Memorial easily won the individual champion- ship in this group, with a score of 10 1-2 points. Tuesday night, in a drizzling rain, the latter half of the meet was run off. St. George's doubled the honors secured by them the night before when they brought home both shields by beating out Memorial in groups "C" and "D." Smallacombe, St. Thomas, and MacLachlan of Memor- ial won the individual championships of "C" and "D" respectively. The events in all groups were prac- tically the same consisting of 100- vard dash, 220-yard dash, four-man relay, high jump and broad jump, and a trick race, such as wheelbar- row, shuttle, etc. In "C" a 440-yard call it. It might also be called (and perhaps there would be more wisdom in this) transforming. Its members have grown in strength. They are finding their own sense of independ- ence and their own needs. They are discovering that in many Instances these needs are not met under cen- tralized rule from London.
