KING EDWARD VIL'S TOMB.

ALTERATIONS AT ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL,

WINDSOR

Since the death of Queen Alexan dra, the coins of King Edward and his Consort have reposed on the altar steps of the Albert Memorial Chapel of Windsor Castle, sivered by the Royal Standard.

Shortly after the remains of Queen Alexandra were brought to Windsor the coffin of King Edward was removed from the mortuary chapel to the Albert Memorial Chapel,

י,

When the restoration of the choir of St. George's Chapel, which has been in progress for nearly six years, is completed, the coins of King Edward and Queen Alexan- dra will be transferred to the Royal

Tomb, which was chosen by Queen Alexandra herself.

It is on the left of the choir, and during the work et renovation has been specially protected.

It is hoped that the removal of the bodies will take place while the court is in residence at Windsor Castle for Easter..

M. Spahlinger has, over a lengthy period, conducted tests with anti-tuberculosis vaccine on cattle, and, according to M., Larue, an official veterinary surgeon," all the cattle vaccinated successfully resisted the infection."

A series of highly important experiments which have recently been completed at Geneva by M. Henri Spahlinger, whose treatment for consumption has already pro- Geced remarkable results.

Part of these bovine tests, were to have been made at Crewe last

year but had to be postponed owing to . Spahlinger's ill-health and the urgent call for supplies of serum for human beings which necessitated his constant presence at Geneva.
