Lord Stanmore. for instance, better known as Sir Arthur Gordon, a colonial administrator of vast experience, ex- pressed a conviction that as much wrong has been inflicted by a desire to carry out civilizing ideas as by vio- lence. It was a mistake. he said, to regard the semiâ€"civilized races as imâ€" moral; their moral sense is very un- like our own. but it is none the less real. As to the attitude to be assumed toward the social usages and peculiar habits of the natives of a given country. Lord Stanmore, of course, conceded that certain customs, such as cannibalism. infanticide, widow burning, and the wholesale plundering of interiors by local chiefs. must be put an end to at once and firmly. But it would be Well, he thought. to permit the continu- ance of many usages repugnant and even repulsive to European ideas. In such matters he would trust to the transforming influence of time. Herein he cordially agreed with Prof. Petrie. who had reminded his hearers that Paul of Tarsus did not deem it needful, any more than did Epictetus, to prohibit slavery, polygamy, or even gladiatorial shows. The elimination of such evils was left to be brought about, as it was brought about, by the growing enlight- enment and energy of the public con- science. all the sciemfiists and men of practical experience in the East, who took part in debate, concurred with Prof. Flinders Petrie in deprecating efforts to impose ideas peculiar to our own race, age, or civilization upon countries which on dif- ferent lines have already made consider- able progress in culture.

It is asserted by one of the leading authorities on light and heat that the beams of the sun and moon have a very deleterious effect upon all kinds of edged tools. An exposure of a few hours to sunlight will " turn ” the edge of the best razor ever made, and one night‘s exposure to the rays of the full moon will ruin such an instrument forâ€" ever. Similar exposure to light will finally spoil knives. scythes and sickles. the premonitory signs of coming use- lessness being noted in the blue color which the metal assumes. When the edge of such tools once disappears as a result of continued exposure to the light of either the sun or the moon. they are absolutely useless until they have been retempered. Because of this peculiar action of light on steel purchasers should always be on their guard against buying from peddlars who carry their wares exposed, or from retail dealers who have such tools on display in show windowsespecially if such windows be located so that they receive the full glare of the sun or moon at any time of the day or night. The unserviceableness of tools acquired under such circumstances is generally wrongfully attributed to bad material or interior workmanship. Milling in J erusalem.

It is said that in the antarctic conti- nent, behind the fringe of ice that stretches, a forbidding and imposing wall, occasionally two miles high, along the southern- seas, is the future paradise of the hardy and intrepid explorer. The continent is twice the size of Europe, and, once beyond the ice wall, it pre- sents few of the obstacles that baffle seekers for the northern pole. It has vegetation of strange nature, hidden mineral weath in metals and precious stones and presents numerous attrac- tions that are likely to force a way over or through the awful wall of ice.
