they should be removed and re- placed by the corpus vile of a Government office and its records. The people who manage these things must have mistaken as for one of those cenobitîc depart- meats which would enjoy asphyriation in the atmosphere of Thothmes and Amen-Hotep, or for some of those mandarins who would feel quite at home among Tang and Snog anti- quities. We are much indebted to
the courtesy which the Museum authorities displayed, in spite of the unnecessary and indecent hurry in which we were flung at their heads. It is not their fault that there is very little air, very little light, very little anything, in fact, except

THE ATTACKS ON DOVER. Dover's experiences during the war were particularly thrilling, the town having been attacked by Zeppelins, ses planes, aerop lanes, destroyers, and submarines. The first bomb from a German acroplane was dropped on Christ- mas Eve, 1914. The Dover Anti- aircraft R. N. V.R., who were disbanded in 1916, were the first in England to illuminate a Zeppelin, on August 9, 1915, when three sailors were injured. The Zeppelin was winged, and came down at Ostend. In all Dover had 113 warninge; on 29 occasions bombs and shells were dropped in the town itself, and on several other' occasions it was only the terrific barrage put up that saved the town. The first moonlight raid was on Jan. 22, 1918, when one man was killed and two men, one woman, and three children "in- jared. The record number of Bombe dropped in one night was 12 on Sept. 24, 1917, during a night bombardment; 61 shells were fired, only one falling in the town, the others falling in the wurrounding country. On Feb. 16, 1918 during another bom- bardment 22 ahells fell in the
