"OH, WOULD I WERE A BIRD?"".
Miss Trehawke Davies has been enlarg nowing upon the "ecstasy of flying to a representative of the Daily Odisen.

RESTORING TRE FURNACES,
The greatest loss to the company was caused by former employees decamping during the fighting without emptying the blast furnaces, with the result that the contenta besame a solid mass, which, before work could be commenced again, had to be dynamited out.
It is the opinion of Miss Davies that we thought she was speaking of the future of mankind as Raffalesque cherubs, we imagined it in our nursery days, when we wondered how wings could be made which ever upbear Uncle John. But Miss Daries is only thinking of the day when an aerial journey will be no more costly than a trip to Hampstead Heath; whea the typist and the tea-shop girl will soar ike skylarks instead of harrowing like rabbits through the tube.

"LEFT YOUR HELM!'''
Another bit of sailors' lingo has gono by the board. An order just issued has abolished, in the American navy, the terms "port" and "starboard," and replaced them by "left" and "right" Evidently the Navy Department has been moved to pity by the wail of Peter What with dead-eyes and Simple: shrouds, cats and catblocks, dolphins and dolphin-strikers, whips and puddings, I was so puzzled that I was about to leave the deck in absolute despair, when I heard the lieutenant say And, Mr.
Chucks, recollect this afternoon that you bleed all the buoys1" Things are to be made less puzzling for the Peter Simples. of the future.
The new order, however, probably will be disapproved only by those who remain anchored to every tradition of the BOS. The new terms are already used in some maritime countries, and it is somewhat surprising that the old ones, which have so long outlived their ancient significance, should still be retained in the British and American services.
In navigation, a contradictory iden un- derlies the orders Port," or "Star- Purt is board." For when the order
given, the wheel is turned to starboard and the vessel svings off to starboard; the reverse operation takes place when the order Starboard is given. Possibly some of the so-called inexplicable ac cidents may have been due to mistakes It caused by this topsy-turvy system. certainly seems more natural, as well as The heavy Japanese interest in loans surer, to give the order "Left" when the in the company is being coped with, re-vessel is to turn to the left, than it is to payment being given in the form of iron order "Port" when the vessel is to turn produced by the company, which, exceeds to starboard.-F.
