RECTOR'S CURIOUS INDUCTION.
RECTOR'S CURIOUS INDUCTION. A singular induction has taken place at I OK St, Andrews, Norfolk, where the Rev. A. Keith, who is also vicar of Sprowston, was* into his new parish in the midst of a of growing mangolds. Thtfe is no church in the parish, and only :M mission room, which is on private property, Jlltd it was impossible to induct the rector into what e.tuld never be his. After inquiry, it was totmd that a tiny piece of glebe land, planted jtonat yards into a large field at present crop- fitil with- mangolds, was the only real "fix- on which service could be held. Aeeordingly, the rural dean repaired there witit tin- new rector, the church Helens, and .^Iht-rfi. A block of flints was ob- -tffved, which had clearly be n part of some -jweient. church.

OLD LONDON.
OLD LONDON. A hook which should be very popular with visitors to London, and with Londoners a180- most, of whom know very little of their own city —is "Nooks and Corners of Old London." by Charles and Marie Hemstreet (Werner Laurie, 3s. 6d. net). The authors haye prcyiously done for New York what they have now done for London. They call their book "a writing of the oddltooks and quaint corners of wonderful old Loudon town, arranged so that 3, wanderer may reach the points in consecutive order without going too far afield." There is a multitude of books on London, but room was left for one con- structed on this pian, and, giver, the necessary interest in the historic streets and buildings, there is a feast of pleasure waiting for the tourist who will ramble about the City and Westminster with this volume for his guide. Th-cre are a dozen choice illustrations.

PTCTP KES OF PETER. It. is impossible to imagine a more charming j gift-book than Pars," with Mr. Arthur Kackhani's pictures, depicting the life of that. celebrated little person in Kensington Gardens. Everybody knows Peter nowadays, and every- body has fallen in love with Mr. Buckhain's delightful illustrations, so that there is no need to do more than record the fact that a new edition of the work has been published by Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton. The season for gift-books is coming along, and one imagines that many people who have nobody in I particular to buy gifts for, will plank down six shillings and secure this thing of beauty for their own selti-sh enjoyment
THE GLASGOW FACE.
THE GLASGOW FACE. Writing on "The People of Glasgow" in "Cassell's Magazine," Mr. Robin Traill says: Everywhere in the streets of Glasgow are the same keen business faces. Judged generally, they look, and are, a healthy and eminently level-headed type, if not capable of being truthfully described as handsome or noticeably intellectual. Deep it; the nature of the Glasgow man—a nature strong, reserved, and capable of many fine emotions—lies a plain, practical trait, inherited down the generations from those who made the city what it is. One sees it. It is as much the inheritance of the typical Glaswegian as his eyes and ears. They have sweated with the burthen of manual labour and grown grey in the daily struggle of barter and sale. Brain has ever been pitted against brain in the keen energy of commerce, until their way of living has stamped itself in lines upon their fa-ces; until, as generation has succeeded generation, there is bred almost a type, and one can almost recognise a Glasgow faee as surelv as a Glasgow accent. x
ITHE IDEAL CASUAL WARD. j
I THE IDEAL CASUAL WARD. A thoughtful and suggestive article entitled "The Unemployable and the Unemployed" ap- pears in the "Cornhill Magazine," from the pen of Miss Edith Sellers. The writer makes an interesting comparison between English and foreign casual wards, and says A casual ward ought, of course, not to be, as it is here, a place where men are I)aul)erised-a mere stepping-stone to the workhouse. On the contrary, it ought to be a place where men are helped in all possible ways to struggle against pauperisation. Its purpose, be it remembered, is to help men out of work to find work, and to help them to keep themselves fit until work is found. Common-sense, therefore, would say surely that in every casual ward there should be a labour bureau, in which all comers could find out at once where, if anywhere, work was to be had. It might suggest even that they should, while there, be allowed to rest in- stead of being called upon to work and that they should be given the chance of furbishing up their clothes, so that when the time came for them to start off on the tramp again, they might not only feel fit, but look respectable, TJwn what it certainly would suggest, and not only suggest but insist upon, is that casual wards should be reserved exclusively for genuine work-seekers. No man ought to be allowed to enter a ward unless he can prove that he has been in regular work within three months this is a rule in force in all Conti- nental casual wards, and it works easily and well. LOVE AND PRUDENCE.

LOVE AND Young love in fiction, generally laughg at pru- deriee, and marries on nothing a year. If the hero of Mi*s Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler's new book, The Wisdom of Folly (Hodder and Htonghton, 6s.), had been of the headlong type he would not have waited to realise that he was in no position to support a wife, and then the.author would have had no story to tell. The tragedy comes about because Nicholas Ingeldby, in his worldly wisdom, decides to wait before telling his love. He goes away, and when his prospect* improve, returns to find that he in late. Zillar Treherne has married a brute, an incredible monster. For- tunately, Miss Fowler doe. not permit him to occupy the stage very long, though his removal and ¡ the events that lead up to it are a ghastly business, I Zillar has to fly. and Ingoldby helps her and her sister to get away. Later on, he learns that Zillar is dead. Ingoldby next falls in love with the sister, only to find himself again too late.

EMPIRE EXPANSION. There is a lad in Boston, the son of a well- known writer of history, who has evidently pro- fited by such observations as he may have over- heard his father utter touching certain phases J of British Empire-building. At any rat, the boy showed a shrewd notion of the opinion not infrequently expressed, in regard to the righteousness Of "British occupation."

POPULAR SCIENCE. A. NEW MONOPLANE. It is claimed that the monoplane glider shown in the sketch constitutes an absolute departure from the beaten track of aero- plane design. The weuge-like arrangement of the wings, which meet in the centre at an angle of ninety degrees, i* the fundamental of aiict of every excellency the type may possess. Its structural d.rriplicity is obi-h us. and experi- meut has proved tliit stable to a remarkable degree. The inventor is very sanguine as to certain subtle possi- bilities. We naturally regard the subject THE NEW GLIDER. I with a more tempered enthusiasm, but we certainly agree that the device presents striking potentialities. The glider is thirty- seven feet in span and the wings have a seven foot chord. There is neither tail, de-, yator. nor vertical rudder, the aileron* at the wing-tips performing every function necessary for equilibrium or direction. Two independent levers with a plain backward and forward motion form the WHY TELEGRAPH WIRES HUM. The humming of telegraph wires is a phenomenon which has not been &at.isfae- torily explained. It is not caused by wind, for it is heard during perfect calms. It has been conjectured that changes of tempera- ture, which tighten or loosen the wires, probably produce the sound. How MILK POWDER IS MADE. The processes currently employed for making milk powder are based upon diving by heat. In a process recently devised in Prance by Lecomte and Lainville the action of cold is substituted for that of heat. The milk is poured into- vessels similar to those which are used for producing blocks of artificial ice, and is cooled to a few degrees below the freezing point (about 28.5 deg. F.). Suitable precautions are taken to pre- vent the water of the milk from freezing in a solid mass and to cause it to assume the form of fine snow. The congealed milk is then placed in a centrifugal separator, which revolves very rapidly.' The SIIOW crystals remain in the machine while the other parts of the milk are expelled in the form of a. soft, greasy paste, which still con- tains some water. The powdering is COlll- ploted by placing the paste in a drying room heated to a moderate and uniform temperature. The milk powder thus pro- duced has beer: proved by analysis to con- tain all of the constituents of the milk, ex- cept the water, in an unaltered condition. Ax ANCHOR DEVELOPMENT. So little development has been made in anchors during the past few decades, that considerable interest attaches to the "com- anchor, the most important fea- ture of which is the combination of a fluke anchor and a mushroom anchor. When the new anchor is lowered and strikes the bottom, it falls so that the elliptical head rests on one of its broad sides, and the fluke on that side drops down of its own weight and drives its pomt into the bottom. As the mushroom is an elongated ellipse, it must always rest, on one of its sides, and thus I keep the plane of the fliik-es at right angles to. the surface of the bottom, i.e., one fluke TBI COMBINATION AKCHOI1. or the other must always engage the ground. When the vessel's weight pulls the anchor forward, the fluke is driven deeper into the bottom until it reaches its masimum lUigte of fifty-five degrees with the shank, during which time the entire weight of the anchor, being concentrated at the mushroom end of the shank, drives it deeper. The edges of the mushroom are sharp, and the head itself is of such shape as to maintain the greatest' possible hold on the bottom for each inch of penetration. It has been proved, after ex- haustive tests, that this type of anchor will hold more pounds of strain per pound weight- of anchor than any simple type of anchor in any bottom. SAVING GUNNERS' EARS. The ears of gunners are often seriously injured by the detonation of great guns, the drum of the ear being often ruptuf/d. Dr. Mariotti has deyised a. simple fitting, which prevents these injurious effect, without diminishing the sharpness of hearing. The protector consists of a solid mass of glass of such form as to fit accurately the external far, into which it itS inserted. It is horizontally by a perforation, the inner end of which almost touches the ear-drum. The outer end of this luxrizontal passage does not quite reach the outer end of the mass of bill-, connects with a vertical passage which communicates freely with the atmos- phere abov-e and belov?. The violent dis- turbance of the air caused by the artillery discharge produces an aspiration in the horizontal passage, and consequently a rare- faction of the small mass of air e-oulined between the and the glass pro- tector. In consequence of th:R rarefaction, the force of th?, aerial vibration transmitted to the ear-drum is very greatly reduced. Thiseffeet is produced only by violent com- pressions. of the atmosphere, so that the sensitiveness of the ear for ordinary Bounds is not diminished. NEW MOTOR HORN. A three-note musical motor horn, now placed upon the market, consists of three horns or bugles united at the small end. The bulb is fixed iu a swivel fitting, and (al1 I)- sxviing into three positions, thus giving different notes.
