The message from Anadir suggests that the explorer may have reached that point with a vessel. sy Last August Roald Amundsen was reported to be drifting, in his ice- locked schooner Maud, somewhere north of western Siberia.

A despatch from London says:-- Considerable concessions td Irish feel- ing are likely to be-made in the Home Rule Bill when it comes up again in 'a few weeks' time for consideration, clause by clause, in committee. ~The Government has -found that a great deal of opposition to the measure is based upon its financial clauses, and is~prepared to modify them to meet the views of critics. One of the chief points on which the abortive convention of 1917 broke down was the impossibility at that to consent to giving Home Rule Ire-} land control of its customs. The Government is now prepared to change its attitude on this point. -- As the bill reads to-day the two new Irish Legislatures will/not be permitted to levy any excise duties on manufactured articles or customs duties on account of the risk of Ulster and South Ireland embarking on a tariff war, and the only promise held out to the Irish is that after the.two Legislatures are united, control of the customs and excise may be transfer- red to the new Irish Parliament. Provided the British Parliament agrees, it is now likely that the Gov- ernment will consent to an_arrange- ment by which power to levy excise duties will pass automatically to the Irish Partiament as soon as it is set up. Definite pledges may also be in- serted in the bill as to the speedy transfer of control of the customs. ---------+%-- ARMENIA TO' BE.

The Supreme Council has abandoned the idea of giving the mandate for Armenia to the League of Nations as a result of objections raised by the Council of the League of Nations, and will ask neutral Norway and Sweden to help the Armenian people establish a free state, an international loan be- ing floated to finance it, says a Havas despatch from San Remo. Dedeagatch, the important Aegean port which for so long has been a bone of contention in the Balkans, is to be controlled by an international commission.

A large section of the London press will have it that the Earl of Athlone, who, as Duke of Teck,~was practically assured of the post had it not been for the war, is to have it now. Another name recent- ly mentioned is that of the Duke of Sutherland. It is said that the Duke and Duchess would not be averse to a term as vice-regents. The Duke has large land interests in Canada, prin- cipally in Northern British Columbia. He is young, however, only 32, and doubt is expressed whether he would be a sufficiently solid nominee for such a position. An -appointment which would meet with more favor would be that of Lord Byng of Vimy. ---- i . Cattle. Industry in Canada : is Growing. During the year ended December 31, 1919, Canada's export trade in live cattle exceeded 500,000 head and was valued. at.$50,000,000, or at a sum al- most equal to the combined values of live cattle exports during the five pre- vious fiscal years. Over ninety- per cent. of the exported cattle went into the United States either as butcher cattle or as.stockers and feeders. During the same period the domin- jon exported 112,709,517 pounds of fresh and pickled beef, valued at $20,- 937,848. The total export value, there- 'fore, of the cattle industry during the calendar -year-1919, exclusive of can- ned meats; exceeded $70,000,000. eterno ie, % e New Canadian Dry Dock.

A despatch from Paris says:-- Joseph Caillaux, former Premier of France, and twice Minister of Fin- ance, stands convicted of having placed his personal ambition during the war higher than the interests of the country that honored him and gave him birth. Caillaux, while escap- ing conviction for high treason, was found to have been recklessly im- prudent and very close to treasonable ambitions, for such is the interpreta, tion of the verdict of "Guilty of com- merce and correspondence with the enemy," "which was rendered on Thursday against him by the French Senate. This is the first verdict of the sort rendered in any of the allied coun- tries since the war began.

Can a man exist on as little oxygen as a dog? That is the question an eminent Cambridge scientist has been trying to answer. And he has done so at the risk of his health and even life. Normally the air contains about 20.6 per cent. of oxygen. A dog has been. known to live for forty hours in five per cent. man could live, and this Professor Bar- croft determined to find out. An airtight glass cage was construct- ed with two compartments, one for sleeping in, and the 'other fitted up with facilities for writing down his sensations, and a bicycle on a' pedes- tal for exercise. This the professor entered, .ntend- ing to remain a week, reducing the oxygen by the simple process of using it up. Hlectric "scrubbers" were used every few hours to remove the car- bonic gas, and food was passed in through double hatchways. Two people were always on the watch to make observations, and ready if necessary to rush in and render_arti- ficial respiration and oxygen. Within twenty-four hours the, oxygen was down to 16% per cent., and matches would not burn, but the inmate did not experience very much inconveni- ence, é He hung on till it reached 5 per cent., when he was forced to come out through weakness, a sample of his bleod being taken for further analysis, It is related of the same professor that he once told a friend that a cer- tain gas would kill a dog but not a man. On the friend maintaining that it would kill both, he went into a chamber of it with a dog, and waited till the dog was dead. pa ae Sai NE SE Trial of War Criminals at Leipzig Being Delayed A despatch from Leipzig says:-- The:preliminary 'proceedings: for the trial by Supreme Court of German war criminals has begun, but, accord- ing to The Neuste Nachrichten, they are being rendered difficult by the partly incomplete and partly erron- eous data supplied by the allied :lists of accused.

At the massacre of Adowa the Abyssinians took large stores of Italian rifles and ammuni- tion. Later on, in a scrap between Menelik's men and dervishes, a good deal of this booty again changed hands. At Omdurman, Sir Arthur, riding beside the Sirdar, was struck by one of these Italian-bullets, nickel- cased and of extremely small calibre, which went clean through the muscle of his heart and out again. Sir Arthur was out and about again within a few weeks. = * 2 4 bd * Mr. T. P. O'Connor, more than any- one else, helps to keep alive an old custom of the House of Commons-- that is, the custom of taking snuff.

Mr. Winston Churchill from time to time helps to maintain the tradition.

In the two succeeding years the average rose to between seventy and eighty miles. Then the great de- velopment of the aeroplane engine came. Last year, when the race was resumed, Captain Gathergood, the winner, attained an average speed of 129 miles on the course of 190 miles. i * Cd A medical expert discussing the future the other day suggested that by 1950 we might well have sanatoria for consumptive cases established in the air. In his view it is not at all a fantastic dream to foresee a number of giant balloons -being moored from the Weald of Kent,-to which wards for tubercular patients would be at- tached. In the pure air 5,000 feet above the earth, patients could enjoy the advantages of Switzerland. The only difficulty would be the danger of a strong wind forcing them to make an unwilling voyage to the Continent. This danger, of course, could be avoided by the balleons being hauled down at the approach of bad weather. --Big Ben. Facts About Author's ' Earnings. Robert Louis Stevenson was poorly. paid in comparison with popular authors of to-day. But the earnings of some of the earlier Victorian novelists séem to show that--allowing for the difference in the vaiue of money--novel-writing is not a much more profitable trade to-day than it was in their time. The increase in the number of read- ers has been counterbalanced by the increase in the number of writers. "Pickwick" brought Dickens, who was only twenty-four when he wrote it, $12,500 and a share in the copyright after five years. In four years George Eliot received only $9,000 from "Adam Bede," but "Romola" brought her $35,000, and "Middlemarch" was, on the whole, even more profitable;- An- thony Trollope made from his books a gross sum of $350,000, or about $10,- 000 a year. In 18563 Bulwer Lytton received $100,000 for a ten years' copyright of a cheap edition of his novels. At the end of that period he was paid $25,600 for another period of five years, and made a contract on the same terms at the end of the second period. Thackeray, when he first started novel writing, did not make such a large income from it as Dickens. He received $262.50 a part for the periodi- cal issue of "Vanity Fair." It appear- ed in nineteen numbers, one of them being a double one, so that altogether this issue brought him in $5,250. For "Esmond" he had - $6,300, and "The Newcomes" yielded him about $20,000. Jane Austen seems to have been the most poorly paid of all great novelists. During her lifetime she earned less than $3,500 in all for the work of her pen.

When we are asked to state who discovered America, we reply "Colum- bus," without any regard for the fact that civilization had risen and fallen on the American continent before Co- lumbus was born. In New Zealand recently, a boy was asked in a school examination who discovered his coun- try. The answer expected of' him by scholastic tradition was "Tasman," but the lad perplexed his teacher by replying, "Kupe." He may not have got his marks, but he was. right. Polynesian tradition, which is unwritten history of proved accuracy, records that about 1,000 years ago two dark-skinned captains sailed from the Society Islands into the southern seas, discovered New Zealand, sailed around it and return- ed to their own land, visiting the Is- land of Raratonga on their way. The tale that has lived after them shows that. they entered Wellington .Harbor, the present site of the capital city of the Dominion, where they saw the moa, the giant wingless bird that had be- come extinct before the first white man set foot on New Zealand shores. The world has never produced great- er navigators than the early Polyne- sians, who in their big outrigger canoes traversed the Pacific north and south, east and west.

Doctor Grenfell gives these samples of the English Tommy's humor in war-} time: A lad, a well-known athlete, was caught by a shell and blown over a hedge into a field. When they reached him his leg was gone and one. arm badly smashed. He was sitting up smoking a cigarette, and all he said was, "Well, I fancy that's the end of my football days." oy One very undeveloped man, who had somehow leaked into Kitchener's army, told me: 'Well, you see, major, I was a bit too weak\for a laboring man, so I joined the army. I thought it might do my 'ealth good!" One of the English papers reported that when a small Gospel was sent by post to a prisoner in Germany the Teuton official stamped every page, "Passed by the Censor." ---- LETS 60 RE SR DON OVER AN' CALL FoR PLUCKO | DOWANNA "HES A DUMBELL CALL FoR HIM -- HE DON'T KNOW - "REG'LAR FELLER S' '*--By Gene Byrnes "HE THINKS MILK GROWS IN CANS KNOW HE WAS pod DumMB S THAI -- MONOWS MILK GROWS IN BOTTLES x ANY BODY ¢ sixty-four years ago. FROM STOWAWAY TO CAPTAIN LIFE FULL OF ROMANCE AND ADVENTURE. -- Captain Turner Commanded the Lusitania and Survived | a Later Shipwreck. A dark night, a heavy sea-fog, and a big sailing ship twenty-four hours out of Glasgow. Suddenly a grinding crash, the ship staggers forward, stops short, and re- mains hard and fast on a reef. The fog lifts a little, and to the re- lief of those on board land is seen only a ship's length away. As the tide drops and daylight comes the ship is left practically high and dry, and the crew carry the passengers ashore om their backs. , Standing for'ard, a small boy of eight watches it all with eager eyes, until at last he too is lifted over the side and taken across to firm ground. That was in 1864, and the small boy whose first experience of the sea waa shipwreck was destined to become the mdst famous of all\the great captaina-- of~the 'British mercantile marine. Captain Turner, known to all the world as the commander of ,the ill- fated Lusitania, was born at Everton It was with his father thag he took his first voyage. This ugly experience did nothing to daunt the boy, and five years later, at the age of thirteen, young Turner was discovered aboard the aailing ship White Star, in which his father was mate. He had stowed away. He was taken on as deck-boy, and on this voy- age went almost round the world. A Meteoric Rise. { His father was then given command of the Queen of Nations, and they wer' to the desolate Guanope Islanca, and loaded fertilizer for Wnglish fields. Coming back around Cape Horn, they ran into fearful weather, The cargo shifted, the ship took a fearful list, and all hands were set to work to jettison the filthy, ill-smell- ing fertilizer. The ship crawled to the lonely Falkland Islands, and ther lay three months getting repaired It-would need a book to describe young Turner's voyages and adven- tures during the next few years. la 1876 he had the good luck to join the Royal Alfred, and before the voyage was over he was third mate, After "that the young officer's rise was meteoric, and in 1878, at the age of twenty-two, he was third ofiicer im the Cunarder Cherbourg. Oddly enough, he did not remain with the company whose best-known officer he was destined to become. In 1879 he joined a'*Glasgow ship- eg second officer. sater he was in ihe City of Chester when she broke her tail shaft in the Atlantic, but wes luckily picked up and towed ints Tlalle fax. In 1903 he had his first Cunard conte mand, the Aleppo, and since then he has commanded almosi y groat steamer in the fleet, eo tl splendid but ill-fated Lusitania, "The captain was on the bridre when struck,' Lord Mersey has re corded, "and remained there, giving orders till the ship foundered. He wag in the water three hours, and was only rescued by chance. He exercised hig gment for the best, and it was the nent of a skilled-and experienced man." Such an experie ce would hove finished most men of sixty. It did not break Captain Turner's nerve, Wigh- teen months later we find him n command of the big Ivernia, carrying 2,890 trocrs from Marsellles to Aiex- andria, Seventy miles off Crete a Germcx torpedo struck her ami¢shiys, and the explesion killed a number of ihe craw. But the boats were swiftly loweve i, and the troops quickly but quietiy get aboard. As usual, Captain Turner stayed with his ship, but just before the poor Ivernia rolled cover and sau he and his officers were taken off by a trawler. all ~~ Gr Pa Watery Wisdom.
