After I Kir Howe was mounted, I got on my seemdd as doolie as Imagin ed. As soon a? Captain Collier wai cm his Arab, and outside the paUtce gate, a salute of 21 guns begun, and to my utter dismay (since 1 was not an expert horseman), my Arab began to jump sldewaya and right on' end, and in various ways, at the discharge of every gun. As I was not used to thla kind of motion. 1 considered what was to be done, for surely 1 could not long keep my seat. It audden/y struck me that I bad better have recourse to a large piece of water close to the palace, fer 1 felt that 1 should have a better chance on my accustomed el ement than on the hard stones' by which the road was bounded. I di rectly clapped" the ahovela (the Arab atirrup Iron) into my Arab and went alap Into the water, and thua kept the horse above the girths until th# salute I was finished, when 1 rode out per fectly quiet.

Historically, Cockatoo island . is oC much interest, as it was the site of a large prison in the days when British convicts were deported to , Australia. The present offices on the fsland are in the old prison buildings, the stone walls, barred windows and iron-doofed cells being still in evidence. . The for mation of the island was. originally Quits unsuitable for a dockyard, as the solid rock rose sheer from the water to a height of 60 to 70 feet. By using convict labor, however, the rock was gradually cut back, first to permit the building of graying docks and later to make room for building slips and shops near the watef level. The work has been- continued until at present two-thirds of the total area of 33 acres has been brought to a practically uniform level of about 15 feegt above high tide. First Silk Hat Caused a Riot. . On Jan. 15, 1797, when John Heth erington emerged from his London haberdashery shop in the Strand wearing a silk hat, he was surrounded by a mob of spch proportions that he was arrested and charged ? before the lord mayor with inciting to. riot. The constable who arrested him tes tified that "Hetherington appeared up on the public highway wearing a tall structure, which he called a silk hat, havlnfe a shiny luster and calculated to frighten timid people. Several wo men fainted, children screamed, dogs yelped and a young son of Cordwainer Thomas was thrown down by the crowd and broke his right arm." The defendant pleaded that, as an English man, he was free to wear tfny' hat he chose, but, nevertheless, was bound over in $2,500 to keep the peace. X How Words Reveal History. .The word "investment" doesn't oc cur in Dr. Johnson's dictionary of the latter part of the eighteenth century -"Prehistoric" was first used In English in 1851. t , Such instances as these show how a study of language may lay bare the history of a people. Industry and finance did not develop sufficiently to make such words aa "insurance." "commercial" and "discount" neces sary until the latter part of the eight eenth century, while the idea of a world history preceding the day of the historical records had hardly occurred uatil the middle of the last century.

Moving Picture Animals. A Jungle of several acres, inhabited by wild animals of all countries, many Oi which are already well trained for the parts they are to play as motion picture actors, is maintained near Los Angeles by one of the big American film-producing companies. It is in tended to extend the acreage and ac commoaatlons until the motion picture jungle will form the largest single col-; lection of wild animals in the world, and within it will be, and now are, enacted many stirring scenes A big elephant named "Toddles" Is, for in stance, the star performer in a film catalogued as "Lost in the Jungle," in which Toddles, during his wanderings in the forest, finds the heroine ..-lying exhausted on the ground, and, kneel ing, lifts her to his back and gallantly carries her to safety.
