ME. WELL'S GREAT MEN. Mr. Wells, as is well-knowà dislikes pruncing generals and scheming politicians. He thinks that the world's prophets are the world's greatest men. Afr. Wells heads bis list with the name of the Founder of Christianity. This chofer could be objecte to only by the sceptical school of historians, who think that the historical character has been so overlaid with honorific legend that the actual facts have been lost, and by Christians, who ought feel that there was some want of reverence in bringing that name into competition with others, even if it placed at the heal of the list. For this litter reason, I should myself prefer not to include Mr. Wells's first choice in my batch.

is

justified by an old Customs law of a con- TIENTSIN tary's standing, defining twelve miles as the limit of home waters.

"

When overhauled on Tuesday night, Cap- tain Shears claimed that he was outside the twelve-mile limit, although the Customs inspectors aboard the Government boat be. lieved that the distance from the New Jersey shore was not more than ten miles. As the Hahn, a former submarine ohnaer, approa ched the yacht. Captain Shears threw his searchlight on the British flag and stood guard at the rail. A boat from the Hahn came alongside the Onward and ʼn sezman' attempted to draw himself over the rail, but Captain Sheers caught his bands, shoved them away, and threatened to take his life, according to the seaman's story, if he again attempted to climb aboard. The Customs official informed Captain Shears that he would be forced to fire if he resisted, to which Captain Shears is alleged to have re- re-torted: "If you fira on us you will be firing on the British flag." There were no further words, and the boat returned to the Hahn, which, after a brief period, turned about and disappeared into the darkness.

Buddha quite reasonably appears in Mr. Wells's first six. Whether the Indian Asoka deserves such tremendous promotion I cannot say, He must have been a markable man, but he is a rather shadowy figure.

"Among the founders of religion, since I have given my reason for omitting the greatest name of all, I should give the first place to St. Paul. It was he who, under Providence, made Christianity the religion

of the civilised world.

"That he was a great thinker no un- biased student of his writings can donbi, and as a travelling missionary he displayed unaurpassed heroism, determination, and

organising power. He has never been the most popular among great Churchmen; but he was a greater man than Augustine, who perhaps comes next him in power and magnitude of achievement.

Among the great philosophers I think I should chopse Flato. Aristotle was the first and greatest of the mighty professora, a man of encyclopedic knowledge, the prototype of Kant, Hegel, and the rest. But Plato's influence on human thought has been quits as great. He was not only a thinker, but a poet and prophet, and one of the appreme masters of prose literature, Whatever happens to other schools of philosophy, there'will always be Platonists..

Like Turner, he seems to bare bean unfortunate in his choice of pig ments; they hare faded sadly. But good judges are unanimous in putting him in the Ingat tank."
