The Society in this commémoration will not offend the susceptibilities of other nations, but rather be disposed to help their seamen, and even promote the extenta cordials. The Pre- eldent of the United States, Colonel Theodore Rassevelt, in thanking the Society for the

We give the above quotations from among

Centenary Scheme has already secured. Nelson's flag-signal: "England expects that every man will do his duty" is still his Twen- tieth Century message to the men of the sea and to the nation. It unconsciously revealed his own strenuous life freely given to duty, And as that life ebbed away in the "Victory's "

Nelson's birthplace and Sandringham, and for which an admirable site is offered. And it is thought Nelson's County will carry out this part of the Scheme.

The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, Lord Curzon, writes a sympathetic letter, in which ho says: "I am not sure of my right to spank Celebration, in the above capacity, unless I as all on the forthcoming Netson Centenary derive any title from the fact that Lord Nelson visited Mr. Pitt, ar Walmer Castle, before he salled for his last great campaign, and that bis body lay off the shore there in the Victory for a day or two before it was landed and taken to its fast resting place, I have, however, the common right of every Englishmen to express my profound admiration for the lessons of a life so noble and so patriotic, and to say that in my opinion no English boy should grow up to manhood without reading more than once that splendid and inspiring book, Southey's Life of Nelson"

He had gathered, he said, much valuable anthropological information with regard to the pigmies, but, as he intends to write a book on his experiences, he preferred not to go too deeply into the subject. The pigmies, he said, "are the most dangerous savages I have ever met. They are quick, very warlike, and the women fight a hard as the men. They are experts in poisons, which they use to advantage against their enemies. I think there has been some confusion in the past between pigmies and dwarfs. The latter are found for the most part in the little forest and on the outer edge of the great forest, whereas the pigmles are wall within the great forest. Pigmies and dwarfs are quite distinct in physi
