Dreadnought Hoax _ Officially Recorded (By J. V. McAREE in The Globe and Mail) Adrian Stephen has thought it worth while to give the Dreadnought hoax the relative immortality of print within board covers. He has written a little book in which he explains how the heax was perpetrated, and also a preâ€" vious outcome, namely, the hoax of which the Mayor and Corporation of Cambridge were victims. In one case a British admiral and the commander of a British battleship, perhaps the most famous in the fileet at the time, were induced to pay royal honors to a gang of pranksters who said they were the Emperor of Abyssinia and his staff. In the earlier case the Mayor of Camâ€" bridge was duped into according honâ€" ours to the Sultan of Zanzibar and his suite. There were no consequences Oof note, though in one case there were those who thought honour of the navy had been insulted, and in the other the How Jokers Fooled the Briâ€" tish Admiral. in a gale of laughter, Just as the days of chivalry were shortened by the irony of Cervantes. The little tradesman made the German army look ridiculous and he was made to smart for his imâ€" pudence. Stephen had the idea oi dis_ guising himself as a German officer and marching the nearest German into French torritory. This was discarded not because it was too outrageous but because it was too expensive. So as the Sultan of Zanzibar happened, to be in England at the time, the idea of imâ€" personating him seemed so natural as to be inevitable. We need not give parâ€" ticulars of this joke singe it had nothâ€" ing that was not incorporated into the nobler jest of the Dreadnought. Disguised by Experts. It took place a few years later and was so admirably planned that it ocâ€" curred to, nobody that it might be a repeution of the Cambridge which had attained considerable pubâ€" licity. The jokers were Stephen and his sister Virginia, now Mrs. Woolf, Anâ€" thony ~Buxton, Guy Ridley, Duncan Grant and Cole. They were garbed and stainesd by a firm of theatrical exâ€" perts, some of them with false beards, and took a train for Weymouth. After they left another friend sent a telegram to the commander of the Dreadnought advising him that the Emperor and his suite wished to see the ship and should be shown every courtesy. It was signed "Hardinge," which was the name of the permanent head of the Foreign Office. They had with them a grammar of the Swahili tongue, issued by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and tried to memorize some foreign_sounding phrases on their way. As a matter of fact, Stephen, who posed as the interpreter, used amixture of Homer and Virgil and meaningless mumblings as he pretended to address the Emperor, and the Emperor replied briefly in the same tongues. Thrilling Moments On their way down they feared that their joke might have aborted. It was possible that the telegram ought to have been in code. It was possible the commander would telegraph back. Anyâ€" thing unhappy was possible. Howâ€" ever, as the train drew into the station they wore relieved and thrilled to see on the platform a naval officer in full uniform. He advanced and was preâ€" sented, and then the party went aboard a launch and presently was aboard the Dreadnought. The ship was dressed for the occasion and the Emperor gravely inspected the guard of honor. Stephen was somewhat taken aback to see standing near him his cousin, a naval officer, and later on had a slight chill when he recognized in the captain a man with whom he had been on several rambles through the countryâ€" side. Another difficult moment arose when the moustache of one of the faâ€" kers showed a tendency to come off, Still more thrilling for a split second was the moment when one of the offiâ€" cers remarked that there was a member of the ship‘s company who could ad_ dress the distinguished Ethiopians in their own language. It was unfortunate he said, that the linguist happened to be absent on leave. Stephen breathed again. A comic touch which appealed particularly to the jokers was given when it was explained that the conducâ€" tor of the ship‘s band had ‘been unable to find a copy of the Abyssinian naâ€" tional anthem and apologized for hayâ€" ing to substitute the anthem of Zanâ€" zibar. of pranksters who said they were the Emperor of Abyssinia and his staff. In the earlier case the Mayor of Camâ€" bridge was duped into according honâ€" ours to the Sultan of Zanzibar and his suite. There were no consequences O note, though in one case there were thoss who thought honour of the navy had been insulted, and in the other the Mayor asked the Cambridge authoriâ€" ties to send down the jokers. He was told that if he insisted this probably would be dong, but on second thought he decided that further action would merely renew the laughter at his exâ€" pense, gers of the ship‘ dress the d their own lal Everything went exactly as it would have gone had the visitors been genuine The admiral himself escorted them through tha ship. When finally they left for the shore another naval launch erossed their bows. In view of the fact that the launch was supposed to conâ€" tain rovalty. this was a serious breach of etiquette. So the young officer reâ€" sponsible was hailed before the captain and rebuked. He happened to be a Prince himself{. News of the hoax leak. Rovalty Rebuked 0 a gang were the staff. In of Camâ€" ed out eventually and some of the perâ€" petrators were waited upon by naval officers and admonished. They were tapped lightly with 2 care, and this was held to have avenged the honor of the fleet, even though the officers subâ€" mitted to being also tapped lightly in return. It seem to us that this is one of those jokes which would seetm funâ€" nier to the participants than to others, and if you do not find yourself laughâ€" inz helplessly ycu will perhaps b cheered to know that neither are we.

In a small plot of 100 plants examâ€" ined Tuesday it was found that cach plant averaged 18 to 20 while several had as many as 25. A plant of a dozen is considered as a ~ocd producer by many gardeners. Although unable to positively recall the name of the> new species of plant, Mrs. S:eele said she believed they were named "Giant John" tomatoées. She recsived seed for them from relatives in Stockdale, Ont., last year and now the fine plants are growing in her garden for the second consecutive year. The pulp of the tomatoes is usually firm and they preserve well.

Nixon, M.L.A., that principals of the various high schools in the district had been nolified by him that classes in mining similar to those operated here last winter will be held again next season in the mining school at Haileybury. The class>»s, for which the former requireâ€", ments of matriculation standing from a secondary school and physical fitness will again be a necessity, are to open September 15. The school principals ar> being asked to submit names of any pupils who can qualify for the course, in which instruction will be along similar lines to last winter and at its conclusion the Department of Mines will try to place successful puâ€" pi‘ls. Fifty young men will compose the class and arrangements are in the hands of W. H. Tuke, principal of the Hailâ€"ybury High and Mining schools. The former allowance of $10 weekly toward maintenance will be continued, th> scheme operating as before under the D;minionâ€"province ycouth training Still Fighting Any Diversion of Road The delegates held a getâ€"together session in Haileybury on Tuesday nigzht when each party brought plans of th:ir schemes. Cobalt‘s involves conâ€" struction of a new stretch of road straight across the south end of that town for a distance of 1580 feet, beginâ€" ning at the Mining Corporation corner and continuing to Silver street. Sevâ€" eral buildings would have to be reâ€" moved, the YM.CA. being included and the only one of any size. This route would eliminate five corners in Cobalt. The Haileybury suggestion is to diâ€" vert the present road near the town ling beyond the road to Mount Pleasâ€" ant cemetery, continuing over to Merâ€" idian avenue, between the Roman Caâ€" tholic cathedral and the lake, and emerging on to the present road near the town offices, thence continuing as at present along Lake Shore road. By this route, it was claimed, the schools on Rorke avenue would be missed and the stsep hbhill past the court house avoided. at which the delegates will submit their proposals for having the main rcad kept through their respective centres, instead of being diverted sevâ€" eral miles to the west. Before adjourning, Tuesday‘s meetâ€" ing confirmed a previous resolution asking the provincial authorities to reâ€" route the highway "through or immeâ€" diately adjacent to" Cobalt and Hailâ€" eybury. Delegates from â€" Haileytury were Mayor S. J. Mason, J. T. Leishâ€" man, W. H. Tuke and Paul Morissete, and4 from Cobalt Joseph Robitaillé, E. F. Armstrong, I. W. Greenleese and Frank Lendrum.
