A great deal of Interest is taken In England in the question of coast protection. The ocean, assailing the cliffs, gradually tears them ayvny, but this very process furnishes a defense for the land by ..building up long benches o^-saml and shingle which ar rest the waves before they can attach the cliffs. An effort Is making to pre vent, or hotter regulate, the removal of this material for construction and road building, because in many placcs It* removal lias permitted the sen free ly to exert its power of erosion. The ordnance survey has nseertalned that in the last half century England has lost 0,040 acres by sea erosion and gnlned 48.000 acres through re claiming land the existence of which is mainly due to material brought down by the rivers.

In Tahiti the natives climb* the trees with (he help of a strip of groen. fibrous bark torn off the stem of a hibiscus tree. After knotting the two ends together, tho climber' slips hlu feet half through the circle, and. standing with his legs apart, so as to stretch the thong tight, ascends Ihe tree In h series of leaps, with a foot nn each side of the trunk. "A practiced climber will thus mount trees of a ^very considerable height with a celerity and ease which do not suggest the long practice actu ally required. On putting a trial my self.

To make It worse, there was an air raid going on. The brother looked around him out of half closed eyes. On every side stretched long rows of white monn ments. Sirens shrilled from the city streets. Dazzling beams of white light stabbed the heavens. There could be but one conclusion. Hastily searching his, pockets, he drew forth his remaining possessions ? a bottle of vin blanc, a park of greasy cards, a much worn pair of Ivories ? and hurled them from him.
