MISSILE.
Rocket Which Carries Hundreds of Miles.
COULD DESTROY LONDON.
A weapon which, it is claimed, could destroy London, has been in- vented in France. This model of a new military instrument that would make London as vulnerable to attack as if it were situated in the heart of Europe, is being shown in a small laboratory on the outskirts of Paris. It is an Jenormous rocket, for which the in
venter claims immense pos- afbilities.
For the past few years aecret research into the problem of the super-rocket, propelled by explo sive gases, has occupied, Continen- tal chemists. So far the only seri ous difficulty has been to direct these giant projectiles with sum: cient accuracy. This difficulty has
at last been solved.
Tests show that a large aren, such as a city or a vast military encampment, can be hit at a range of several hundred miles without great difficulty.

Looking for Barrie's Creation.
WHIMSICAL FAIRYLAND,
Do you know the "Island of Mary Rose," or does it exist only. In the whimsical fairyland that Sir James Barrie has created?
Dr. Walter A. Mursell, who weet to the Hebrides in search of health and found it, says that Barrie's island is not to be found on any map, and that, in fact, the people who go to look for it are the same kind of people who come out of the theatre asking, "What does Mary Rose mean?"
Dr. Mursell has written "Isles of Sunset: Impressions of the Hebrides," which has been publish- ed by Wyllie, of Aberdeen. Who ther the "Island of Mary Rose" is to be found in tangible form or not, a party (including Dr. Mur- sell) set out from the hotel to look! for this "island that likes to bel visited."
Excited Searchers. "They were quite excited about it," Dr. Mursell says. "There was 'much discussion about it before- hand, with contradictory and abor-

The inventor claims that the rockets will be terrifically destruc- tive, and just as effective in darkness as in daytime. In their flight they will pass through the upper strata of the atmosphere, where they will encounter very little resistance from the air.

DIPLOMACY.
"Very Like Ordinary
Business."
Addressing the Canadian Club at Ottawa on "The Machinery of Diplomacy," Sir Ronald Lindsay, British Ambassador to the United Statee, declared that deceit and falsehood were not the symbols of Buccessful diplomacy.
'Diplomatic negotiations," he said, "are not greatly different from ordinary business transactions, and the best results are obtained by the application of Intelligence, candour, and tact." The chief problem of the diplomat, he added, was to understand the country to which he

"They all set off in a boat, with sandwiches and mackintoshes and thermos flasks, quite firm in their pathetic ballef that they would find the island of Mary Rose."
Sir James Barrie, as he sat musing and dreaming at the win-
dows of his castle in the Hebrides, gave with a "poet's pen to alry nothing a local habitation and a name."
