SORTHWAND. BY CAMEL -
Mark Twain's heavy fantasy of the stolen white elephant is apparently, noz outterly impossible after all-at any rate it is no whit less feasible than the actuality of a camel travelling from London to Perth. It appears that one of the native companions of Captain. Buchanan, whose screened adventures while crossing the Sahara are drawing crowds, has been yearning for that which banishment has withheld from him-a ride on a camel. To accede to his eartiest. request, was regarded by his sympathetic British friends as a bounden duty, and they have therefore been at great pains to kemire a eimel for his purpose. They have, I hear, been successful, and in the course of n week or two the ship of the desert will saunter wonderingly no doubt, along the Great North Hond with áts happy, passenger, pioneer of no inean order, who, baring secured fame by traversing the waterless wastes, will Immortalise it by becoming the hero of cne of the strangest anachronistic sole cisms even in this age of irrelevancies. He hopes to cover at the rate of 40 miles a day the distance from London to Capt.. Bacbanan's Scottish home.
ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH FRESALASONRY,
At the Grand Festival of English Free- masons there was the usual circum stances of a visit by in body of Grand Officers not belonging to the Grand Lodge of England. These were the Grail Master Mason of Scotland," the Earl of Elgin. with two of his Grand Officers, Lord Cochrane, and Sir Alex- ander Gibb. A must cordial welcome Lord Elgin, in was extended to them. acknowledging the compliment, said his official presence was explained by the fact that a Scottish Grand Officer, Loril Blythswood, was to be invested as Senior Grand Warden of England. His Lordship added that there was another circumstance tending to point fout, and strengthen the harmony and amity exist. ing between the two Grand Lodges. The Prince of Wales, who had been Senior Grand Warder of England, was to pay a visit to the Grand Lodge of Scotland at an early date, and might be assured in advance of the heartiest welcoine that was in the power of Scottish Freemasons to give.
TAM MACKAY "AS ISLAND CHIEF.
How a party of Britishers seized a South Sea island was amusingly told at an open meeting of Pitlochry Chapter of the Eastern Star by Mr. R. M. Mac- Donald, the well-known Strathtay inven tor, explorer, and writer, who admitted that he had been described as "a bad French, Germans, Aniericans, man. and Japs were after the island, but Mr. MacDonald's party of Britishers got first in, and hoisted the British Aag on a hill in toker of appropriation. They terrible and had been warned against powerful native Chief, and when he ap peared, with hundreds of his warriors, theexplorers discreetly retired under cover. When the Chief observed the flag they were amazed see him take out his musical rules and play "God save the King." Turning round, he shouted Where are you Britishers I ani Tam Mackay: 1 come, frne Perth- shire. This island has been British for two years."
EVENTS AND OPINIONG.
- Colonel James Jarrott, the.well-known motorist, whose sudden disappearance is causing anxier, was one of the pioneers of the petrol-driven vehicle. When be penetrated to the Highlands with his weird car in these early days, an old woman he met by the wayside immed. intely fell down and prayed.
A great deal is being made of the sitting of 13 judges in London. But 13 have not infrequently sat in the Court of Session during the past couple of decades. I remember ance seeing each of the Scots 13 sitting with a Bible in front of him in a criminal case. One of the judges had a Greek Testament in addition.
I have a suspicion that the meanest of all men is the man who is must out- spoken in his criticism of Scottish gene- rosity, says Sir Harry Lauder. I have never known any such critic wandering about with pockets emptied by charity No Scotsman is mean; he is only saving, and is naturally thrifty. He gets fun, ton, out of the cautions life-fun in watching the recklessness of others.
The Union Bank of Scotland are reduc. ing the size of their. £1 notes to that of the Treasury hotes. The Bank protests against the proposal to abolish Senttish "Bank notes, and says that Mr. McKenna must have overlooked the history of tho pound note in Scotland, and the contro versies which raged over a hundred yeard ngo, in which. Sir Walter Seqtt took an important part. The right of issue had bren of very great benefit to the nation and to the banks, and there was no doubt that it had lowered the cost of banking to the Scottish public.
I understand that matters' have now been settled as regards the Kitchener Memorial in the North, and it has been decided to proceed with the original scheme. A memorial tower is to be erect ed on Marwick Head, Bitsay, Orkney, near as possible to the spot where H.M.SE Hamphire wank on June hth, 1910, with Field-Marshal Lord Kitchener on board:
