There are relics of the Tragic Figures of History: Napoleon's couch, a mother-o'-pearl mirror in which Mary, Queen of Scots |looked before she laid her head on the block at Fotheringay; the portrait of Charles I.
The portrait has a personal history: 11 was given by St. John's College, Oxford, to Charles II. When, years later, the King asked the College to name some favour he could do, they asked for the portrait back!
Here is, in royal crimson velvet embossed with green figures, the Throne of Queen Elizabeth--and here, too, the coarse sleeping-bag from which Captain Oates, that "very gallant gentleman, stepped out to certain death in the Antarctic night.

Two things stand out pre-eminent: the half of a golden guinca given by Henrietta Maria to Chartes 1. when they parted; and a little cluster of homely objects-spectacles, a chair, a i writing-table, and old Windsor Castle note-paper-which recall Queen Vic- toria with such poignance one almost expects to see the little duhpy figure take form before one's cyca.

How Nazis Built
"Western Wall” ·
Berlin. --Figures of considerable interest are mentioned by Lt. Gen. Jacob, of the German Corps of Engineers, in a re- trospective article on the western lino of fortifications in the "Millaer-Wo- chenblatt," a leading German mili- tary weekly. The "Western Wall" is described as “Anished und unconquer- able."
A third of all the cement-mixing machines in the Reich, Lt.-Gen. Jacob reveals, were employed on the work of construction. They mixed up- proximately 0,000,000 tons of cement, or more then a third of the total Ger- man output. Nearly 25,000,000 cubic feet of wood were used in building emplacements,
The German State Rallways dell- vered 8,000 truckloads of materials dolly during the construction period, while canal traffic also accounted for the transport of large quantities of material. Considerably more than 15,000 lorries, commandeered from all over Germany, were in use,
Infantry entanglements required the employment of 3,000,000 Tolls of barbed wire. Tank-trapa were con- structed partly by the use of ex- cavating machines, also brought to- gether from all parts of the Reich, and partly by the laying down of rows of concrete "teeth,"
On and after Oct. 0, 1936, more than 532,000 men were working on the fortifications. Of these, 80,000 were army engineers and 100,000 members of the labour corps,
Educations Plus The "Western Wall"
BERLIN.
It was essential that the importance of the Relch's Western defonces should be brought home to German children, said Maj.-Gen. Brand, In- spector for War Schools of the Ger➡ man Army, at Munich recently.
He was addressing a large assembly of teachers and educations. Не ndded:
"Not only in elementary schools, but also in higher #chools and technical Institutions, there is hardly a lesson in which die Importance of the Western Wail' cannot be intro- duced.
"In the history lesson this is obvious and easy, but even in such subjects as physics, mathematics and chemlatry it is not hard to refer to this great achlavement of the Fuchrer."
