SUNSPOTS. During the brief appearance of the sun this week, telescopic scrutiny of his fea- tures disclose a couple of email spotted areas, but no sign whatever of the mighty Flunspot. upheaval that was to have been visible to the nnked eye, and to have .ôronght a whole sackful of troubles to our insignificant planet. There rarely is a day when the sun is spotless, and it in interesting to recall some of the giant 'Spots'' that have appeared in recent years, without ?nytlring happening to the earth beyond abnormal manifestations of terrestrial magnetism. In 1903 a snnspot group persisted for several months, in October of that year covering an area of 2, iOO,000,000 snuare miles. Two years later, in January, 1905, 3,500,000,000 square miles of the solar disc was spotted, and an equally enormous area was involved in the spring of 1917. these two latter being the largest spots ever observed at Greenwich Observatory. Having parsed unscathed «. through those critical epochs our old planet was not likely to be troubled by the Lilliputian blisters on the sun this week.

IS A "BAKESTONE" BREAD? I Bench Find Agginst Seveir Sisters I Grocer. Da.vid John Howrlls, grocer. Grown) Stores, Seven Sisters, was summoned at- "Neath on Friday for selling bread other- wise than by weight. William Gill, assist- ant. was also summoned for aiding and abetting. Prosecuting on behalf of the Food "Control Commissioners, Mr. Powell eaid the bread in question was popular "bakestone. Mr. W. Ley son. for the defence, submitted that a bakestone was not a ioaf. There was no attempt to defraud. The baker sold the bakestones to the grocer for 24 each, and the grocer sold them for id. The Bench held that a. technical offence had been Committed, and ordered de- i fendants to pay the costs..

i — The Day's Gossip. Leader" Office, Saturday. When the scheme for a uniform tomb- stone for all graves in the British ceme- teries in France was originated it met with fairly general approval, but it is obvious now that the authorities have ignored the human factor, and introduced control into matters that are sacred. However laudable may be the arguments for uniformity, the right of the bereaved to mark the resting place of their loved onoG in their own way, so long as they do not intrude en the liberty of anyone else, would appear to be undeniable. As Lord Hugh Cecil pointed out, in an ordinary graveyard each tombstone denotes in- dividuality; nothing could be more in- appropriate than one grave being exactly like another. One style of stone for thej rich and the poor, the general and thfl private, is » beautiful iAea; but there is the other eide, that a soldier's family must mourn him in accordance with a War Office Order, that even his tombstone is a unit devoid of mor than the mini- mum of individuality. The ban on the cruciform, though introduced on account of the small space allo-ved for lettering, has a dangerous suggestion of a standard- isation of religious beliefs. That some- thing will be done to relax the regulations is fairly evident from Mr. Churchill's st-atememt that personally he would not agree to a small difference in expense standing in the way of any alternative headstone provided the other aspects Were clearly satisfactory. Anything that could be dono to extend the lettering and the choice of inscription within the linrits available would certainly be done. Grammar School Magazine. J The December number of the Swan- sea Grammar School Magazine" contains it very interesting page in Swansea his- tory. The writer has unearthed from the files of London Illustrated Sews" a long account of the Opening of the New Swansea Grammar School on Wednesday, Sept. 11. 1853—<that day hdrw Founder'^ Day and the Annivers/ry." The wh ,,1(\ town wa*, ^yfd«»ntlT en feto. The buildings were most tastefully decorated. The ground was studded with several handsome banners. Flags floated gaily from the beautiful tower of the school, the parish church tower, and the princi- 1^1 public buildings. The shipping, too, contributed to the gaiety of the day by sporting a profusion of bunting; added to which, the bells rang throughout, the day." There was a procession through the streets, and speeches at the School, which the historian shortens with the following bit of refreshing candour; there followed a lengthy and rather uninteresting speech by the Lord Bishop." Then proceedings were wound up with a dinner at the Mac-kworth Arms Hotel. I An Old Print. Below this muit interesting article (adds the writer in the Magazine) is an engraving of the school, much iike that which hangs above the fireplace in the Head's study, with the exception that in this one a flag flies from the tower and that there is a processjon of scholars, altircd each in Eton smt and mortarboard, at- tended by master* at the sides and headed by what I take to be the Feoffees. The scholars are carrying, some of them, ban- ners, bearing. i suppose, the school crest. In the niche above the entrance in the tower a statue can dimly be discerned." He closes with an appeal that Founder's Day "-the 11th of September—should be kept a-3 a holiday as in most sebr>o1« Cinemese." Journalese has found a first oousin for whom the film correspondent of the Times ho!= invented the name Cine- mese." He refers to the purely Americaii slang—as unintelligible as Choctow to an ave,i-,i,ge English audience—with which the producers ostensibly try to make the films more easily understood. We have all suffered brain storms under cine- mese," and he quotes a typical example from a new film. U The hero is supposed to be an innocent young man, and he is variously described as a siinp and a boob.' The heroine is sometimes called a pippin and at other times a trained When the young man decides to make a fortune he declares that he is going to made a wad,' and instead of bidding Good-bye b" is represented as saying I'oodleloo.' Most of thelia ex- pressions are made more or less intelli- gible by their context, but the film bristles with many quite incomprehensible terms that it would'take a scholiast to unravel. What the audience imagine it is all about, it is quite impossible to say, but to have to study the film in order to understand the letterpress is a very amusing reversal of the usual procedure." The Last Ditch. He had been a physical training ser- geant, and was sitting for the examination for his commission. He had answered twelve intricate questions on infantry training, map reading, and field engineer- ing, and had come to No. 13. The last ditch between him and his commission, and lie did not like No. 13. In brief, this was the question: The enemy, in ter- rific force, attacks the line, held by your battalion. He establishes,himself 100 yds. t» your front. His fire, infantry and artillery, increases momentarily. You have only 20 effective men left; your wire has been destroyed; fresh enemy troops como up with fixed bayonets, and the whole enemy force advances. What orders do you give r" The sergeant was a-weary of problems, and the question brought him to the point of despair. Bft there flashed into hit; mind a bit of physical training jargon which seemed like a fair solution whether in spite of writing it down, or on acconnt of it, he passed, eventually, with distinction. This was his answer to No. 13: "Feet astride, amis upwards stretch." A Reminiscence. So sof. so bright: so bloomin' blue, There aren't a wave for miles an' miles Excep* the jiggle of the screw!" Rudyard Kipling's lines kept jazzing thro' my bnuii, as I lay ir my bunk, writer "Roame-r," in a reminiscent vein. It was April, 1913, but one of those gorgeous days a sort of foretaste of good things to come, and I found the only quietude on the great liner in my state-room. It is surprising how you hear the drowsy, lapping of the --aves against the ship's side, and the swish, as she cuts through j the water. No more sleep-inducing j lullaby do I know, unless it be the hum of bees in a lime-tree avenue, the semi- mettalic tinkle, of one of Gower's myriad tiny waterfalls—or the measured beat of little wavelets on the golden sand. But I was soon Yanked out to hear the usual evcning concert in the saloon—the chief item was a lecture by an Amurrican "— (Why is it Americans have such a mania for lecturing?)—a most remarkable man, a- Charles Dickens would have said, and the subject,—the sinking of the Titanic —and we—mark you, at midnight, in mid- Atlantic. in lier sister ship, the Olym- pic," on her first voyage after the disaster —and only a ,sheet of metal between us I and-ff the Titanic." j
