BRITISH ARMY WAR MEDALS,
Is there in existence anywhere a co- plete set of the war medals of the British Army There is a general impression that the collection at the Royal United Service Institution is quite complete, but doubts have been expressed, und cortainly nothing like a complete set of the bars issued is to be seen there.
THE VANISHING WHALE,
The British Government is, it is stated, favourable to the suggestion made by the trustees of the British Muscum es to the! summoning of an international confer ence to consider how to stop the unre stricted slanghter of whales in the Aut arctie and elsewhere. The Foreign Office, at the instance of the Colonial Eecretary, is taking steps to ascertain how far such an idea would be supported by foreign Governinents.
The countries principally affected are, in addition to Great Britain, Norway and Japan, and to a lesser extent Germany, but, in view of the migratory habits of whales, several other parts of the world, notably South and South-west Africa, are concerned. The authorities at South Kensington, who are anxions to participate in any such inquiry, consider that the present rate of slaughter cannot be continued without serious danger of the ultimate ex- termination of the species.
THE OLDEST MUMMY.
The muming known as Ra-Nofer, which is in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, has been described as the oldest mummy known. The date assigned to it by Professor Elliot Smith was the age of Snefru, the beginning of Egypt's Fourth Dynasty, about 3,700 years B.C. Some human remains, however, have now been discovered at Sakkara, about fifteen miles from Cairo, belonging to the period of the end of the Second and the beginning of the Third Dynasties, about 4,000 years 13.45 Among them is the skeleton of a woman about thirty-five years of age. which was found completely invested in a large series of bandages, and, next to the body was a corroded woven cloth. The corrosion, says Professor Smith, was presumptive evidene that some material (probably crude natron) was applied fo the surface of the body, with a view to its preservation, and he has thus been able to trace to a higher antiquity than had previously been done, the use of this method for preserving the body of the dead. The skeleton is now in the museum of the College of Surgeons.
SUFFCADETTE'S INCOME TAX.
Mr. Mark Wilks, of Upper Clapton Road. the husband of Dr. Elizabeth wilks, a lady doctor and suffragist, was arrested last month on his way to the school of which he is headmaster, at the instance of the Inland Revenue Authori- tics, for the non-payment of his wife's-income tax. The amount at issue, Git is stated, is, about £40: The position illustrates the complicated state of the Jaw. Mrs Wilks is an enthusiastic Suffragist and a member of the Women's Tax Resistance League. Her husband is a member of the Men's League fer Women's Suffrage. His income is below the taxable limit of £160, but his wife carns considerably more than that sum; Mrs. Wilks, under the Married Women's Property Act, has her own estate, but that Act did not alter the income tax wS, so that u husband is still liable for his wife's tax. Mrs. Wilks refuses to pay the tax and her goods cannot be dis- trained upon, while her husband cannot make her, even if he wished. to. Mr. Wilks, therefore, has been arrested for the non-payment of his wife's tax when he can make no claim upon her estate. HOW MISS CHRISTABEL PANKHURST GOT TO

It is in the Hotel Mondial, in the heart- of Paris, and close to the Grands Boulevards, that Miss Christabel Pank- hurst is at present quartered."People think,sho said to an interviewer,

I have only been here but a day. I have been in France for six months-since- the arrest of several of our militants." At that time certain friends came and warned me that I, too, was to be arrested. I deemed then that my liberty was neces sury, just as I think it more than ever necessary to-day, in order that may support my companions in the great battle undertaken with such faith and ardour, Accordingly immediately
I erussed by the mail boat to Calais. Later I came to know that if I had waited only a few hours more. I should have been taken. Here in France, where I have some good friends, only a few persons knew of my presence. I have travelled a good deal during these six months, but I have nut quitted French soit. I have only been in Paris a short while, but I al planning to establish myself here definitely, and it is because I intend to settle here and direct our agitation from here that I resolved to throw. nside my incognito, For this struggle," added Miss Pankhurst, with emphasis, "is going to be carried on more desperately than crer"
BRITISH POOR-LAW EXPENDITURE. When the Old Age Pensions Act was passing through the House of Commons one of the favourite arguments-in its sap- port was the contention that it would reduce the cost of the poor law by giving national pensions to old people instead of leaving them as a burden on the local rates. Critics of the Bill who had taken the trouble to study the history of pen- sions in Germany pointed out that it was more likely that the cost of the poor law would rise. This forecast has been fully. verified. The recently-issued report of the Local Government Board shows that the cost of poor-law relief in England and Wales alone in the year 1911 was higher by £715,000 than in the year 1908, which was the last year before the Old Age Pensions Act came into operation

QUEEN ALEXANDRA AND THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER.
A charming story of Queen Alexandra's encounter with an amateur photographer has just come to light, says a contempor- The incident occurred during her ary. Majesty's recent visit to Sandringham. The hero of the story is Mr. Edwin Mat thews, a young tradesman of King's Lynn, who is a keen amateur photograph er. While on an excursion to the neigh bouring village of Snettisham with his camera it occurred to him to go down to the beach to take a view of Queen When Alexandra's seashore bungalow.
he arrived there no one was in sight, the bungalow was apparently deserted, and he duly set up his camera on its tripod. He was standing with his head under the dark cloth, intent on focussing the pic bure, when he suddenly felt a light tap on his shoulder. He looked up and was surprised to see a liveried servant, stand ing beside him. He was still more sur "Queen prised when the servant said:

He dered away from the royal retreat. found the waiting party included not only Queen Alexandra, but Princess Vic- toria and the Grand Duke George of Rus- sia, with their suites. Feeling naturally a little diffident about photographing these distinguished sitters, he explained to Queen Alexandra that he was only an amateur, and asked that they would ar- range themselves in a group as they thought best. The royal party checrfally acquiesced and grouped themselves before the young amateur, who promptly took them. The picture came out well and Queen Alexandra was so pleased with the proof which Mr. Matthews forwarded to her that she asked him to send her two dozen prints. He also received another command to take a picture for the Grand Duke George of Russia at Sandringham, and having executed this has received a letter from Queen Alexandra expressing her pleasure and complimenting him on the excellence of her photograph. A fact which gives an added interest to the in- cident is that her Majesty in herself an expert amateur photographer. An album of views taken by her in her travels was. it will be remembered, published some. time ago.
Doctors constantly emphasise this, and that distinguished practitioner, Dr. Claude L. Wheeler, has written
Either to keep the nervous system of the healthy Individual up to the mark, or to raise it to necessary efficiency when attacked, not only proteid (the body building food) but phosphorus must be forthcoming in suple quantities.'
Wheeler clearly lays down. "A com bination of pure protein with that form of phosphorus which normally exists in the body and nerves is exactly what is needed in such cases Science has produced the combination demanded.
