Shackleton's Lucky Number.
A London correspondent to an exchange says that Si Ernest Shackleton, the famous explorer, who is soon to set out upon another adventure to the Arctic, boasts of his lucky number which is nine. The other day, in conversation with Dr. Macklin, the medical officer of the new expedition, Sir Ernest Shackleton said that he first went to sea on the ninth of April, was married on the ninth of April, set out on his first Arctic adventure on the ninth of a month, made his first discovery in Arctic regions on the ninth day of a month, and landed back in England on the ninth day of a month.

Atherton as member of the Mission January-i February, 1915, and that of France on the part of the States Department, in July-August, 1914. In his great speech on the eve of the British declaration of war, Sir Edward Grey stated in the House of Commons that England was under no treaty obligation to go to the assistance of France. All the postwar "revela- tions" have not shaken the truth of that statement. And in the light of it, there is an unusual moral great- ness in England's succour to France. So, at least, it seems to "this particu. lar writer."
