MOTOR NOTES. TlillOUGH TUNIS BY CAR. Here, in storied Carthage, we must visit Jibe uLUibcoun to pay homage to that marvel at marvel the statue, in the Hall of the White Fathers, of the Priestess Ariatbaal in her robe of vultures' wings, a sight a-lo-ne which repays the long journey to Tunis. Then, leaving the museuim, and taking a seat on a sarcopha-gu?, or under a weeping pear tree, let us rest a Long while to admire the Bay o& Carthage stretched out at our feet, t? basin of the military port where ?00 triremes used to surround the petaco of the Suffete of the Sea, and yonder, on the other shore, the Bornine, the three-boraed moun- tain beyond which appeared the pale divine face of the moon to be saluted by Saiairanbo. When at last we must tea/r ourselves away, give a turn to our modern starting-handle run clown the august hill where once on a time Hamilcar's chariot performed its evolutions, we feel almost ashamed that the acmnd of our motor should trouble the eternal dream of the sacred ashes, and that our petro! fumes ahculd pollute this air whkhh" known the smoJw of sacrince. But what a joy and delight it is when we reach the road at the foot of the hill, to speed along beneath the eucalyptus trees winch tihade us all through the Punic isthmus. A road beautiful in every application of the term. On one side spreads fields of How camomile. on the other lie little Italian villas fanne,d-O contrast—by classic, palma; then i turreted casino and a little town to which knots of tiny chitdren with their buxom •rarses, clad like zouaves with magicians' bonnets, Lend a etrange animation. And the surface of the highway has no concealed enemies, nothing to harass your Michelin tyrea in the performance of their duty. Wo are at the Goulette, where the Jerwø found a refuge when they were expelled from -Spain, and where to-day their women still wear too sorcereps costumo imposed upon them by Isabella the Catholic, to distinguish them from the Christiana, and to servo M a warning' to the children, whoso bLocd they were auppesed to covet for their marchpane. We crcsa to the other bank on a ferry-boat towed by a donkey or ca.mcl and Land where lladcs, the Roman Maxoula, rajjses its white cupolas and its golden minaret. We may erven go as far as Ilammanlif, a sort of African Dinard, where the-To are tennis-courts, and golf-liiiks, sea-bathing, theatres, and a ve.iy coniifortabio French refiaurant, before returning to Tunis aatcr a day well occupied.

I* SCOTLAND AND THE LAKE 'DISTRICT.
SCOTLAND AND THE LAKE DISTRICT. A MOTOR CYCLING TOUR. I Having haid last year a successful ton days' holiday run of a thousand miles from Carnarvon on the west coast to Great Yarmouth on the east, tlicnco via London to the south, I wondered if my little mount, a 21 h.p. two-epeod motor cycle, M as capable of a much more difficult tour in Scotland and the Lake District. The con- trast in the contour of the country is very great—• the ono comparatively flat, the other very hilly. The time being limited, and the intervening country already familiar, I had unfortunately to take train to Edinburgh for a starting point. Intending to leave the metropolis of Scotland at an early hour of the first day, the attractions of the famous city occupied the greater part of the morning. Princess-street, probably the finest thoroughfare in the kingdom, with its terraced garden*, and the prominent and beautiful Gothic spire of Scott's monument, overlooked by the towering castle in the distance, is well worth a longer stay. Leaving Edinburgh by the Quecnsberry-road, it is an easy run of nine miles to the famous Forth Bridge. The dimensioina of this great bridge are best appreciated from the ferry boat plying beside its south end, where still stands the Hames Inn of Scott, a Antiquary. Built on the cuntiliver principle, it is a wonderful monument to the energy and rCSiOurOO that overcame the stupendous physical difficulties of so gigantic a work, for hi its height and the width of the single span, tlie Forth Bridge claims to be the greatest bridge in the world. Retracing from Queensberry, a sharp turn to the right loads to Dalmeny and Linlithgow. Leaving the machine by an ancient and dilapi- ( dated monument in the centre of the town, a shore walk brings one to the Castle, a quad- rangular building, more substantial than beautiful, standing' at the edge of a "loch," but which at that time looked more like a flooded field. The road was now good to Falkirk, where tlie narrow street-, a train ear, and a motor car, nearly cut short the writer's tour. A splendid run to Stirling, with its historic Castle of the Feudal period, prominent in the distance, re- called many famous scenes in Scottish history. The town still retains some features of its ancient dignity, while by the approach to the Esplanade, on a lofty eminence, stands a statue to Robert Bruce, looking proudly over to Bannookburn. Stirling Castle, so closely associated- with the his- tory of Scotland in less peaceful times, is well worth tho long climb to it, and the view from the battlements ia both beautiful and extensive, including the Wallace Monument, designed in the form of a lofty baronial tower. On the way to Calk-ruler, the country round is exceedingly beautiful in its mixture of mountain and valley scenery. Two miles beyond Oallender, a sharp turn to the left at Kilmahog Bridge, leads to the Trossaehs, but unfortunately a notice "No Motors Allowed," necessitates leaving the machine at a cottage by the road-side. Five miles on foot alonig the narrow and winding road was elow business by Loch Vennachar, ail-cl liavliig had a glimpse of Loch Achray nestling amid the pin". covered hills of the Trossaohs, tho walk back again seemed interminable, a.nd the sight of the waiting "steed" was most welcome. Resuming northwards, a good road leads along the five mi 'I -es' length of Ixx-h Luibnig, sheltered by rugged mountains on cither side, on to Strathyre, a charming little village, inviting to a rest for the evening of the first day's run. Tho next day broke somewhat threateningly, but the rain kept off, and a bracing early morn- ing run was greatly enjoveii to Lochoarnhead. It is worth while making a diversion to ride along I the ncQtli side of the Loch Earn for nine miles to Viliaiis in older to fully appreciate the beauty of the country in all directions. Loeh Earn would fieem to be THE PERFECTION OF LAKE SCENERY, a mountain boundary of fine outline on either 'Úœ, rich woodlands with a sprinkling of cultiva- tion, with hero and there a stately mansion. Here are the sconos of Sir Walter Scott's most romantic and entrancing tales. Returning to the head of the loch, and resuming the run north- wards, the road rapidly deteriorates, and is very ro-.ig'h up Glen Ogip. a stiff climb of about five miles. On to Kiliin Junction, turning east- wards for Luib, §-ong the margin of Loch Dochart, a delightful spot, to Crianlarich. From this point the road becomes very bumpy to Tyndrum, the "further north" of the tour. For the next few miles along a rough mountain road, the surface was of the worst possible description, tho tibico miles descent, to Dalmelly being in plaoes practically umrideable. and one WOIldrcd whether the machine would withstand the awful bumping. Wlrat w.'s.one's surprise then to be passed hereabouts by an "F.N." machine with a passenger on tho carrier. That pa#eengtTr was not enjoying 1);mf<elf, for he was evidently having the worst jogging of his life. After Dalmelly there is an excellent road through the Pass of Brandir. along the side of Loch Awe. one of ihe most picturesque of High- land Lochs. Ten miles out of Oban I met several members of the Ayr Motor Cycling Club, who were taking part in a Reliability Run to Glasgow. Two of them rounded the corner of the narrow road a.t a terrific pace, one of them on tho wrong side, with his head well down, oblivious to all before him. It was the narrowest escape- he missed me by inches only t Of such r„re they who spoil the sport. To Oban was a pjeasanfc run, the famous rcecrt and market town being reached at an' early hour of the second day. Ftrom Oban, the question was, should it lie via Bali a Gaulish and Glencoe, or south by way. of Ixx-hphilhead, Liverary, and" Rest and Be Thankful?" Both routes were reported as equal-, ly hilly, but tho road surface by the Pass of Gk-neoe was said to be in th-c vilest state, and t] is, in consideration of the- welfare of my tyres, and also that by going south one was going to- wards homo (when, even a motor cycle appears to be pulling better) decided mo to choose the equally pic'uroeque southern route. There are a number of stiff hills for many miles out of Oban, but along the coast road, tho-view of the Western Islands was really magnificent. and fully justified a slow run of thirty miles in three hours. Tbl9 road over the hills hereahvut, is narrow and bumpy, with several awkward turns, requiring careful driving. Some Highland cattle grazing on either side of the narrow road nearly brought the run to an abrupt termination, for, having the choice of rushing between them, or quietly push- ing the machine, with no guarantee of good con- duct either way, I decided upon the former. Dis- turbed by the unusual noise, one of the animals coolly poked the point of his huge horn through the glass of my lamp! Near LoohphilheM, the red funnel of a steamer plying elong a. canal almost adjoining the road, was somewhat of a surprise—it was on the Crinal Canal, eomo of the passengers were walking to save timer--there are twelve locks in a distance of nine miles. Turning eastwards and homewards towards Inverary along the shore of Loch Fyne, there is a splendid run of thirty miles. Round- ing tho head of the loch, a very sharp ascent began a gradual rise of five miiee across tlie moors and: over Glen Croe, desol,ate in the ex- treme, with the driving rain adding to the droarine^s of the scene. Fortunately t'hei little motor was pulling splendidly, and putting in tho low gear, it climbed tlie rough steep milo leading to Rest and Bo Thankful" without the slightest hesitation, the chain transmission being a great boon on that steep climb in the pouring rain. Arrived at the summit, one felt a profound respect for the modern motor cycle, and mine was withal only a 2& h.p. engine. Tho famous hair-pin bend on the test hill recalled many excellent descriptions of it in motor cycling papers. Putting the engine on the low gear 8pa,in, the long and ste<*p descent was comfort- ably negotiated, and after a few miles on the level, > THE BEAUTIFUL LOCH LONG I was reached, with Ar roc liar cosily nestling at tho head of the Loch. Then over improving roads to Tarbet and Lomond. At this point of tiiie Lake, the opposite shores approach each other quite closely the mountains rise up on either side in rugged majesty, and the whole aspect is one of great beauty. After a sharp turn to the right by t.li- Tax,)!et Hotel, there is a magnificent load for twe-nty miles close up to the shore of the loch. Gradually widening, it is soon a broad sheet of water, dotted with well- wooded islands. On to Dumbarton and Alex- andra, along the north bank of tho Clyde to Kilpat-rick, across the river by the ferry, and the Glasgow and Greenock-road is joined. This has splendid surface as far as Port Glasgow, trom which point to Greenock the paving is the worst imaginable, and is a disgrace to any Road Authority. Of this day's run of 135 miles, no less than about 110 miles had been alongside sea, loch, or river. Out of Greenock the next morning, the r ad for a few miles was very bumpy, the result of heavy brafHo, but after Wemyss Bay, there is .,t good fast road for thirty-five miles to Ayr, with splendid sea v iews, and the Islands of Bute and Arran easily discernible in the distance. One of the charms of Ayr is the lino open view it of tlio c i l!'Lriiis of A3-r commands of tho Foi4.li of Clyde and Arran Island. It has a good harbour and pier, and the New Esplanade affords a pleasant promenade. Not forigettinig to see Hurra's "Twl1. Brigs," and tlie bronze statue of the Scotch poet, a. short run of two miles, and Blah's cottage is reached; near by is the monument on the river bank, and a. few hundred yards further is the" A ull Brig o'Doon." Tho sixty miles or eo from Ayr to Dumfries by way of Cummack was a most enjoy- able run over ONE OF THE BEST ENGINEERED ROADS I in tho country, and leads through glorious scenery. The next morning, on leaving Dumfries the weather was wet, but the road surface was in goad order, and Carlisle was reached early in the da.y. Aft-er an uninteresting road for twenty miles, the region of tho beautiful Lake District was soon reaAed. Bassenthwaite Lake was a welcome sight from tlie top of the switchback road approaching Keswick.' A steep rive out of the town was the beginning of some ;,tiff work for the little machine. A strong head wind, with torrents of rain, greatly added to tho severity of tho task, but although th-o steep gradients out of Keswick and Windermere called tor the low gear, the engine never once faltered. It w:is the Lake District that day—big lakes and littlo lakes, it was no use trying to pick out one's way, there was nothing for it but to swish through them. Kendal was eafely readied in igood time, and, notwithstanding the unfavourable climatic cn!lditjos, t?c day's run from Dumfries WJS grcatiy ?n-joyed, thanks chiefly to the wouv (k: if ully consistent running of the machine. Both rider and cyelo were in anything but a presentable condition, but a hot bath to one, and half an hour1 with brush, paraffin and hot water to tho other, put everything right again. Tho next morning being beautifully fin., th hosh and clean appearance of the machine compen- sated for the trouble taken tho night before, and added to tho enjoyment of the day's run. Over peirfcct. roads, it was an easy run to Black- pool, and after a two days' stay at that busy and popular resort, the return home to North Wales by way of Pieston and Chester ended a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. I had no .mech.a.I11 trouble of any sort, but cart-fully overhauled the machine previous to each day's run, and adjusted one chain on the last day. Tho distance was not great, about 700 miles, but it comprised some of the most beautiful scenery in England and Scotland; the road surfaces showed a vast improvement everywhere; the people wero nvost kind and obliging, and the modern motor cyclo with change speed gear proved again that at a minimum of cost and trouble, it is an ideal means of seeing what is best in this, "the best of all lands."

No restriction should be made stipulating the first round on any day must be in the competition. Any round should bo per- mitted to compete. 3. A rule tuch as Cards must be marked by another playing member" should govern tho competition. 'Ihis would permit of three and four-ball matches being played in con- junction with the competition. 4. Should not the limit handicap for the com- petition be 18? This would allow of a 25 man entering, only he would play with tho limit handicap of 18. 5. That the cards be carefully watched every month, and members' handicaps thoroughly and regularly revised in accordance with these cards. Where are those entry cards from our single figure handicaps? We think a notice drawing attention to the existence of this Perpetual Bogey Competi,tion might be circulated a.mongst the first team players. It is so very easy to overlook the notices in tho Club-house. » • • 0 The announcements for the Easter competitions will be made shortly. We trust the weather will assist the oommiitee in their efTorls to make the ooming hoiidiay season a repetition of the success in previous years. We can rely upon a substantial and inteiesf ing holiday programme. We hope every member will make an effort to attend the special general meeting called for Monday next, and support the H's011ution3 in favour of the increased subscriptions. We liave long been one of the most fortunate clubs in the British Isles in regard to the subscriptions we have paid for good golf. Even the proposed increase will still mean all exceedingly moderate subscription, at which no one can possibly cavil. » « • On Saturday next we play the Carnarvonshire Golf Club at Conway. This is our first match of the season. Here's to a victory for us which shall herald a most successful season. WHY NOT? I

I ADVICE TO FARMERS.I
I ADVICE TO FARMERS. I WORK UNDERTAKEN BY BANGOR UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. The agricultural department of the Univer- sity College otf North Wales is offering facili- ties which will prove of the greatest possible value to agriculturalists in North Waleis if advantage is taken of them. Professor White in a circular letter explains that a special grant has been made to the ag-rwultural department of the College by the Board of Agriculture for the appointment of two "advisers," whose duty it is to devote themselves to the in vest ig-ation of special problems affecting agriculture, and the giving of scientific advic,Il agricultural matters to farmers in North Wales. Dr. J. LLoyd Williams has been appointed adviser in agricultural botany, and Mr G. W. Robinson, B.A., adviser in agricultural chem- istry. With the aid of a grant fnomi the De veltapment Fund, well-equipped laboratories have recently been co'inplete-d, and full facili- ties are now available for the speedy investi- gation of any problems which may be re- ported. As an indication of the ways in which the new opportunities arc proving of diroot value to farmers in the College area, it may be mentioned that advice has already been requested and given upon the treatment of sod lis and crops; causes of infertility or peculiarity in soil)-}; suitability of particular soiL" for special crops; identification, treat- mCUlt of plant diseases; identification and era diction of weeds and poisonous plants; test. ing of agricultural s-eedei for germination and purity; and selection of seeds mixtures. Ordi- nary conum ercial analyses cf samples of manures and feeding stuffs arc not under* taken, as provision is already mado by the various County Councils for tueli work. Mr R. N. Jones, who has been appointed live stock oiffcer for North Wales in connec- tion with tho Board of Agriculture's scheme for tho improvement of live stock, is attached to the staff of the College Department, and will advisio on practical questions relating to live stock, including the selection of animals for breeding purposes. In addition to the wpeeial advisory staff, the services of the other members of the staff of the department are always avails,ble fo,r farmers who wi&li for advico on more general questions. It is important to note that no charge is made for aiftvice to farmers in the College aiea.
MANURING OF GRASS-LAND. I
MANURING OF GRASS-LAND. I The necessity of applying both phosphates and potash., in order to obtain the desired results on a Lairge aj-ea. of grass-land, is not yet appreciated in practice to nearly the full extent. How cd'ten, for example, dees one hear the complaint from farmers that they have tried slag and never know w the re it v.-ent! In certain eases the reason may con- ceiva.bly lie in the fact that an inferior grado of slag was used, but in the majority of instances the key to the solution is no doubt I the lack of availab'o potash. in the..soiL II ad a certain amount of yoluble potash been used with tlhe slag, then the proper effect would likely harve been produced. The importance of mrillg the eomibination on hay-land has been well brought out in an article on the subject appearing in the Febru- ary number cf the Journal of the Beard of Agriculture. In this summary of the results of the most importan.fr official experiments it is shown that "the .satisfactory returns freni the eom.pl.ote manurimg and potadh and phos- phates combined form the most consistent feature of the results." A treatment which Las consistentlv given highly profitable re- sults in the whole series of the official experi- ments is the combination of superphosphate and siulphate of poftaslh Such a manuring is calculated to give quick results and could be recommended as a suit- able treat incut fer hay in the spring. On land deficient in li.mo a necessary preliminary treatment would be the application cf some form of lime, say 8-10 cwts. ground lime per acre. An average cLms-ing of the manures which would be calculated to last two or three years would be 4 owls, superphosphate and 1 owt. sulphate of }K>tai-ili. For annua l dressings, which perhaps are the most pro- fitable in the case of the hay crop, half the quantity off cadh would be suiffcient. In order to euswro an even distribution of the phosphates' a,nd potash a thorough mixing of the mantir-es would be desirable.
REFUGE ASSURANCE COMPANY LTD.
REFUGE ASSURANCE COMPANY LTD. In a review of the accounts of this great Life Office, a salient feature which attracts instant at- tention is the ,it.atetieii.t that the increase in the prem Him income for the year has exceeded that of any prev ious year. Clearly the Refuge Assur- ance Company continues to increase in popularity with the British public, and this ie irrefutable evidence that its forni, of oontract are liberally drawn -and interpreted, and its settlements prompt and generous. Such striking progress as is re- | voaled in successive annual reports oould not have been maintained on any other basis. The figures involved are stupendous; the funds and premiums have now to be reckoned in millions, and a fitet which arrests tho eye is the concise statement that since the inception of the company the sum of £18,676,596 19s M has been paid in claims. The usual annual valuation has been instituted as at ólst December last, and a.s a result a bonus has again been declared in the ordinary branch at the exceedingly good rate of JB1 14s per cent. This has not been done by straining the resources of the company, as is evident when it is men- tioned that in addition the large sum of £100,000 was added to the Investment Reserve Fund bringing that fund up to E175,000--aiil E90,135 17s 5d was carried forward as a Contingency Fund. Tho wonderful growth of the company* is clear- ly exhibited by the following statistics:— Year Premium Income. Aggregate Income. Funds. I 1908.1,738,581 9 1 ^1,829,009 13 4 c3,136,191 7 7 1913.. 8,880,618 6 10J 8,741,598 14 10J 10,062.852 13 7 A feature of great importance to the insuring public—and especially to that portion which is not permanently settled in one locality-is tlie. ubiquity of the organLsation of the Company, it being practically imjioesible to name any centre of population which does not include at least one "Refuge" representative. The facilities this affords for the prompt settlement of claims, and for payment of premiums, will easily be appre- ciated by everyone. It is the invariable ex- perience of the company that any national dis- aster is sure to involve some of its policy hol{1en., and as an example the terrible pit disaster at Seng-henydd in October last may be quoted. In tliis instance the disbursements in respect of death claims rpa<.<h<*d the figure of E1486 6s 6d. The Refuge" stands >11 the very foremost rank of kindred institutions, and certainly offers excep- tional advantages to intending ass-urunts. The Refuge" in 1913 as in 1912 had the greatest increased premillm increase of any British Life Office.
FESTINIOG PUBLIC I LIBRARY.
FESTINIOG PUBLIC I LIBRARY. OBJECTION TO RKNAN'S "LIFE OF I CHRIST." At a. meetinjr of the Festiniog Council on Fri- day night, Mr Cadwaladr Roberts moved that Renan's "Life of Christ" should be withdrawn from circulation in the Public Library. Ho quoted passages from tho book, and said it must flave a harmful effect on those who were young and had xe-ad but little- He protested against such a biso attack on the Saviour, and moved that tho book should be withdrawn a.nd burnt. Mr Evan Jones: I second tho withdrawal, but I don't go so far as to burnt it. lie added that he was not going to make a speech, for the moc 1 5o,ill the greater the curiosity stirred. 'd there ',N,as a l,'r-ce Mr R. W. Roberts said there was a Free Church Council in the town and a Free Church Ministers' Council. Surely if it was as danger- ous a book as Mr Cadwaladr Roberts tried to make out thos-e two councils would have ob. jected to it. Mr Wm. Owen proposed and Mr John Cad- waladr seconded that the Library Committee bo asked to report Oil the book. Mr R. J. Jones, supporting the amendment, said th-cro were ministers of the Gospel and several deacons on the Library Committee. By eleven votes to four it was agreed to ask the Library Cununittee for a report.
