Whistling Haro.

Asked if any new animals were found on Mount Everest by the ex- Indition which recently returned, Sir Francis Younghusband, who ad dressed the Geographical Section of The Forum Club. said that a whistling hare,had been discovered. When he | expedition goes out next year, said Sir Prounia, it will be the work of only two or three of the youngest and fitfest climbers to scale the last 2800ft, to the summit [29.140ft, high, and they will probably make at effort to return the same day, so as not to risk spending the night at such an altitude. Monsoon clouds, it had been found, stopped altogethe at a certain line, and afterwards the expedition had beautiful sunshine which was ideal for photography. 'Hallo' By Gramophone

Gramophones with special records that say "Hullo?" Are you there?" and other telephonie stock phases have been introduced into the testing-rooms of London telephone exchanges, relieving operators from the firing task of talking all day line-testing operations. By means of a patent art which automatically brings the sound-box of the grumo- phone back to the starting point earh

Ex-Kaiser Snabbed.

The quarrel in the Hobenzollern family about baby Prince Carl of Prussia, a grandson of the ex-Kaiser has come to an end. After the death of the baby's father, Prince Joachim, the ex-Kaiser decreed that he should be placed under the guardianship of

bis uncle, Prince Eitol Friedrich. The child's mother naturally resented this armogement and sought redress in the law courts of the republic The Potsdam court, holding that the house laws of the Hobenzollern family had to force in Prussia, decided that the Prince should be given to his mathi:. Prince Kitel Friedrich appealed against this decision. He has now decided to drop the appeal and Las consented to restore the boy to Princess Juachim.
