Electrical Energy of Thought.
MER. P. Wilson, in a lecture be- fore the Institution of Engineering Inspection, the Royal Society of Aris, sketched the story of research in respect of "Molecules, Atoms, and Electrons."

Jerusalem's Sanctity.
Speaking at a meeting of the Palestine Immigrants Welfare Committee, held at 142, Piccadilly Sir Wyndham Deedes, late Chief Secretury, Palestine, said he held the view that Jerusalem should be quite distinct from other cities. "I would like," he said, "to exclude from Jerusalem, because it is the Holy City,all things that would tend to affect its quiet and sanctity. I would like to see trams, cinemas, and dancing prohibited." Irish Humour.

When Germany Failed.
on
The Manchester Guardian is publishing extracts from the war memories of General Hoffmann, who was for a long time Chief of Staff on the German Eastern Front, and conducted the negotiations with the Bolsheviks at the Brest- Litovsk Peace Conference behalf of the General Staff. It has always been understood that General Hoffmann was one of the ablest and most independent of the: German army leaders, and that on many important points of policy he was in sharp disagreement with General Ludendorff. He says:- "The moment the German High Command saw that it was failing to capture Amiens and that the attempt to break through had thus failed, it should have realised that there was no longer any ground for expecting a decisive victory on the western front. If this first attempt, made
with the best fighting material, had no success, the High Command should have admitted to itself that further attacks, which could only be made with continual ly diminishing forces, were equally without any prospect of success. On the very day when the High Command ordered the cessation of the offensive against Amiens it was its duty to report to the Governnient that the time had! come for entering into peace negotiations, and that there was no prospect of ending the war on the western front with a decisive victory.
"I do not know whether it would have been possible to obtain a decent peace in April, 1918, but I think so. A better one, cortainly, than that of Versailles. In any
case, there should have been no further offensives. They only cost us frightful losses of men and material which we were no longer able to make good."
The Tourist in Italy.
No Italian meal is complete with- out a plentiful supply of fruit or greenstuff, says a writer in the Westminster Gazette. Very often the sweet will be dispensed with, and oranges, grapes, or wild straw berries offered as a substitute. For the benefit of the British visitori quite good tea is made at the hotels, and the Italian himself has found out the virtues of the afternoon cup of tea. Shopping in Italy has its own delights. Io Florence the beautiful stamped leather goods are to be had in abundance, at rea- sonable prices. Venice shawls. made of silk and other finer fabrics, with every shade of colour, plain or embroidered, with long fringes, are just now a fashionable article of wear. The Venetian women great- Jy affect the shawl, and are for the most part hatless. In Milan special chops for the sale of mac- aroni, and the hairdressing satoons open to the
· street-
to secure coolness in a hot climate are uncommon sights for the British tourist. A very pleasing facet of Italian open-air life is the galleria-long, wide, lofty arendes, flanked on either side with hand- some shops and outdoor cafés. The galleria is a substitute for the boulevard of Paris, and is the fashionable promenade for the afternoon and evening. It pro- vides a colourful picture of life, and movement and gaiety. The hotels here are also admirably managed, and among the best in Italy, What gan be more romantic than to be housed in one of the famous old palaces of the mer chant princes of the great days of the 'Doges, or to sit on a terrace, with the waters of the canal gently plashing around one under a sky, of the truest and deepest Italian blue?
Why We Feel Hot..
Coolness is feeling, rather than a state of temperature, says a doctor in the Daily Chronicle. A fan does not cool the air; hat its cool the person fanned by moving the air in currents about him. The air, in the case, acts as a stimulus to the nerves in the skin and the amount of blood in the skin is reduced. When they lack all stimulation the skin becomes overfilled with blood and the brain and muscles are rendered" anaemic." It is interest ing to remember that, in the ear- ly stages of niany fevers, when the temperature of the body is high, intense cold is complained of. He feels cold though he is hot In the same way, on hot days, most of us feel hot without having any rise of temperature to "show for it." Our feelings are conditioned by our own skins. If these are full of blood we feel hot; if empty of blood we feel cold. Eating fluslics the skin and makes us feel hotter. Evaporation from the skin is the best and most convenient method of cooling nature. We can assist by damping our skins. By far the best "cooling drink" is water acidulated with lemon or lime juice.

The Cross on the Quarter Deck.
"Everyone who goes on to the quarter-deck of a man-of-war brings his trand to the salute as he does so. The reason why is not known by every seaman, though it onght to be," says Sir Robert Baden-Powell in the Children's Newspaper.
"If you ask a sailor, he will generally tell you that it is to salute the flag, that is, the ensign which flies over the taffrail. But that is not the real reason.
In the old days it was usual to have a crucifix or an image of Christ or the Virgin Mary on the mizzen mast of every ship, and the men always saluted or crossed themselves when they passed it. So it became the custom to salute when they came to that part of the ship even when the images had coused to be there.
"Nowadays there is not even a mizzen mast there, but still we come on to the quarter deck.' Britain's Command of the Sea.
