-A LIIKMEUTIAN GAS ENGINE.

Various attempts have recently been made, saya the University Correspondent, to construct * gas turbina" haoring the same relation to sa ordinary gas engine as the steam turbine to the common steam engine. Experimental ongines of this type have already been constructed sa high sa five hundred horse power, and orparts consider them the most powerful type of engine ever made. It is claimed that a gas turbine for a motor air would be small enough to fit into a top hat! For ariation such light engines would be invaluable.

GERMAN EMPRESS JEWELS. The German Socialists are exercised in their minds, mys London Opinion; because the Empress woars so much jewellery upon State occasions. At halls and banquets ahe decorates herself with gems worth £350,000, but with all proper sympathy for the democratic spirit it is hard to see what shes the Empress can do with the jewels except to wear them. She could not sell them and give the proceeds to the poor proceeding that the puur are always in favour of because they do not belong to her. They belong to the German Crown-that is to say, to the eation-and have come down a long lias of queens and empresses to their present holder.

HER ACCOUNT. OF IT..

An inspector one day visited a country school tought by a young lady, and in the course of the lesson said:"Now, children, I wish you to take notice of what I do, and then write an account of it." Then he stepped to the black- board and wrote u wotence upon it. All tas children except one wrote in effect that the inspector came into the school and wrote on the blackboard, "I love a good school." One little girl, however, followed instructions more literally, the Week-End relates and com. ploted the story by adding"And then he went to the platform, sat down, played with his watch chain, titled his moustache, and winked at the lady teacher.""

NICKNAMES OF THE SEL

A society, whose ambition it will be to trace the source of the existing customs in the Navy. and to study generally every phase of nautical nomenclature, is in the course of formation. Mr L. G. Carr Laughton, who has made a study of Carly

naval history, will be the secretary of society, and in an

interview with an Express representative he said that the idea of forming

such an institution came to him through the fact that nearly every post brought him letters from people seeking information on obscure naval questions. There are few people," he said, "who know anything of the traditions of the language and oratoms of the ses. "Take, for instance, the habit of eslut- ing the quarter deck. Fow know how this came into existence, though, on looking a long way back, we find that the early boats had A crucifiz ixed to the mast, which the Roman Catholic sailors saluted. Then there are nautical nicknames.
