It was the vital artery of opera tions; a block on it or a break in it meant starvalion for the troops. The regione through which it passed was fraversed at will by a hostile and elusive population, and by antagonists offering scarcely any fixed points to strike at, and, though relatively few in numbers perhaps, the most mobile enemy which has ever appeared in modern war.

Wo have again reached a period where the maintenance of the status quo in Europe, as" well as in Asia, must be regarded for many obvious reasons, upon which it is unneces. sary to enlargo, as one of the paramount interests, and even one of the unwritten obligations, of British policy. But with a eystom aiming to provide at the utmost or throu an expeditionary force of two Army Corps, it is obvious that we can take no independent action abroad in defence of neutrals, and that we cannot hope even to throw enough weight into the balance to turn the scale in favour of our allies. In other words, we cannot exercise that general influence upon the side of peace which it is desirable In our own intercate that we should be able to exercise.

Seldom, in the opinion of the Japan Mail, does the future present itself in such clear Afghanistan, and a most unconscionable source of mental anxiety does it furnish. But China's manner of treating her buffer States is conspicuously unpractical, for while she is wholly invertebrate in equip. ping them to resist aggression, she relies on them implicitly to discharge their fune- tion of fenders.

ie undertaken. The principle employed to get a star's distance is essentially that used by a surveyor to find the distance Letween two inaccessible objects. He lays down a bice line, very oiréfully measures it, then measures angles needed to know triangles formed by the baro line and the two inaccessible points; then by the principles of trigonometry the distance between the two points desired can be easily and accurately computed, if those principles have been applied most effectively. When we wish to measure the distance of the sun from the earth, the earth's diameter, about 8,000 miles, is made the base line; but
when we measure the distance of a star the diameter of the earth's orbit around the sun is chosen for the base line, $86,000,000 miles. If the astronomer should measure the distances of a star from others near by on the first day of Jaunkry and then measure the distance between the star on 3BD Class on July 1, of the same year he might find £22, 0. 0.some very small changes due to the fact 3.0.0. that the earth has changed its place in the heavens 186,000,000 of miled during the 24.0.0. six months that have intervend. If there 36. 0. 0. is such an apparent displacement of any star sufficiently largo to measure, such dis 26. 0. 0. placement is 'cllled the parallax-of the star, 47. 0. 0. which is measured in seconds of are. It in 27.0.0.then very easy to find the distance of the 49.0.0.star.
All such distances in miles are so very large that they can not be comprehended at all. The mind can not form any idea from auch a long continuous array of figures. On this account satronomers have adopted a now unit of stellar distances called the lightyear, which means simply the distance

opportunity for an effective kill. It was in DOUGLAS STEAMSHIP COMPANY, these exciting duels that H. L. Doherty was generally seen at his best and many times he brought them to an end in a bril· lant cross-court stroke.
Wilding is a player
to better advantage in singles than in doubles, but while falling somewhat short of his best in this match, he accomplished much that was admirable. For instance, he won the majority of his servico games, whereas Ritchie, despite commendable steadiness iņ the court, was not so successful in this respect. Wilding has cultivated an over- arm twist service associated with much deadliness. He tried it frequently yester- day, and sometimes it came off. Probably the day will come when he will utilise it with more consistent success, and then it will be a most valuable asset to him. A powerful cross-court drive from the base line served him well yesterday, and here he has a very fine stroke indeed.
On the following day. Wilding was again opposed to H. L. Doherty, this time in the final of the Mixed Doubles Championship. Wilding was partnered by Miss Douglass, while Doherty played with Miss Lowther. In this match Doherty had the rare experience of figuring on the losing side in
a love match, and in thus going down he

He would return just outside the court instead of just inside, or just into the net instond of just over, and he also lost an unusual number of his service games. It was a case of a great player having struck an unlucky patch, and although Miss Lowther tried her best, she, too, was erratic, and so the match went to Wilding and Miss Douglass by 2 sots to love, with scores of 6-4 and 7---5. Wilding was in capital forms, and frequently covered his partner with rare judgment, and whereas he did the bulk of the damage with offective volleying, Miss Douglass's strong point was the placing of long shots from the base line. She may not have hit with her old power, but her picking up was at times oxcellent, and some of her back-hand strokes very fine indeed. There was a chance of the Doherty and match boing extended, whe
