The Kaiser's summer programme of visita is a subject of interest just now. His Majesty wherever he goes, the bankomis of tho welcome visitor, no matter where he may be. On the coast of Norway, for example, he has many middle-class friends, made while on his yachting tours, end, he delights to drop in" for whatever meal may be on hand. One of these families is especially favourite with him. Ho likes to call whenever he can, and the fact that they have only one maid does not worry him. It is said that last time he called the maid was nervous, and dropped the goose as she was bringing it to table. With great calmness the mistress said, "Bring in the other bird..

The Titanic, wreck really brought about the Bill. It made the nations realise the necessity for uniform regulations that would improve the con- struction and ensure the safety of ships. The Conference which sat in London Inet winter arrived at a standard of inter national safety, and it was the recom mendations of the Conference that the Bill embodied. It is a bulky measure of twenty-nine clauses, and its provisions cover every kind of emergency, Ships having more than fifty persons on board, whether passengers or crew, must have wireless fitted, and rules are laid down for the construction and manning of passen ger ships and for the supply and proper examination of life-saving appliances Ice movements will be studied and special efforts to keep vessels clear of the flees will be made.
