domain of the West Australian Constitution. The capital of this fund now stands at nearly £20,000. Some interesting statistics appear at the end of the Grand Lodge's annual report. In 1900, the first year of its existence, 320 initiates were admitted. The number ad- nitted varied very much for several years. During the war it kept be- low the 300 mark, but to-day there are over 6,000, and during the year just passed there was an increase of 540 members.
The increase in the Royal Arch Chapters in England continues. At the next meeting of the Supreme Grand Council no-fewer than 21 charters for new chapters will be granted, an unusually large num- ber, but particularly so for this season of the year. Only Your of these will meet in the London area, 15 will meet in various parts of the Country, one in Buenos Aires and one at Tokyo, Japan.
