HUMAN LIFE IN THE STARS.
FAMOUS EXPLORER'S CON- VICTION.
WORLD LEADERS: “MUST BE INTELLIGENT BEINGS."
"Science shows the possibility of there being life of some kind on some planets or some of the stars. From this concession, and from the conclusion of philosophy as to the general, structure and character of the universe, we ought to be able to draw some inference as to the likelihood, or unlikelihood, of not only living, but intelligent beings existing, on other planets or other stars."
Sir Francis Younghusband, the noted explores, makes this state- ment in an exposition of the view that on some planets or some stors exist beings higher than ourselves, and ou one a "world-leader," the supreme embodiment of the sternal spirit which animates the whole.
The main inference I would draw," he adds, "is that not only may there be intelligent beings like Somers Town, St. Pancras, where there must be What was before s The problem is an acute one in ourselves among the stars, bat that the Borough Council has actually speculation is now lot me a codvic started work on a scheme which tion.

The present House of Commons has a greater wealth of young Con servative talent than any Parlia ment-in-recent-years, but owing to the Government's majority and ather considerations the young men urge that they have been denied op portunities of showing their paces, while their prospects of promotion have been reduced to a minimum. Their complaint is, as put to-day by Mr. G. R. Hall-Caine, M.P. that lip service is paid to the young men, who are encouraged when the party is out of power and neglected when it comes into office.
