Lord Lloyd, who was the guest of honour, in giving the toast of "Rudyard Kipling," referred to the long illness of Mrs. Kipling, and added that she was now well dn the road to recovery. ›
The Kipling Society, he con- tinued, was the largest and most widely scattered society in any hemisphere, since in reality it com- prised almost every English-speak

In less than 15 minutes the audience were again watching the progress of the third act of "Miles- tones."
The fire is believed to have been caused by a fused wire.
The flames shot on to the stage just as Miss Dorothy Cheston, Mr. Allen Jeyes and Miss Emmie Arthur-Williams were praceeding with their parts.
They glanced at the flames, and then went on with their acting as though nothing. had occurred.
"They did not stop acting," said "Kipling," he added, "did some-Mr. Middleton "until the fire-proof thing more than that.

When he sang of Empire he never failed to stress its only possible foundation- sacrifice. Ite never sang of the Empire in jingo terms. When he sang of war, it was of the beroism and of the fine and splendid things-that war evokes; not like the hateful modern novel, only of the hideous and evil things, which, like rank weeds, can always be found in mud.
"In these days of difficulty and anxiety to the future of our race and Empire," Lord Lloyd con- cluded. "when the qualities of courage and vision were, needed
This is a complete reversal of our previous conceptions of the universo.
Professor Einstein declared also that he believed it possible to get metric a further form of this space which should at one stroke comprise all the phenomena of the cosmos.
"I have faith," he declared, "In the path along which I am pro- ceeding and I have evidence that the end is very near."
Faraday and Maxwell had not the courage to say that space was a real thing. So they invented a material they called the ether.
