A White Ant Scare.

Extensive ravagen wrought by white ants are reported from time to time, but apparently no effec- tive mesures of prevention bera bean "derited. "Itsi.now statad, says the Jaran : Chronesla") that various large buildings, in Kags- wn perfecture have been autturing from the attentions of white ants, and among those that have anfer. ad, moet is shew Kagawa Normal School. As the result of exerning® tion it hur been ascertained the all the pillars of the lecture ball of the gahool have been-hollowed out by the pentu, and the hall is ia darger of collapsing at any moment. The prefectural an thorities have ordered the re construction of the damaged hall and the extermination of the insects..

Not Wanted.

A popular javobile paper says that it does not want say more stories about good boys who follow father's or mother's advice and anoceed thereby; about boys who meet bad fortune through disobedience; about the boy who works for a stingy employer and wins promotion through faithful- peas; about boys who give up an opportunity of winning a prise because of other boys who need it more than they do, sto. These themes have been overworked, it asserts. Instead, it wants stories describing (1) short incidents'; (2) brave boya; (3) successful boys; (4) popular science for boys; (5) occupations for boys. It seems from this list tha romanticism has to some extent lost its hold on the boy reader.

An Ethical Problem.

A nice question of military ethics (mya the Brodd Arrow) in involved in the private provision of body armour by officers, whether it le the shrapnel-proof breastplate which is exhibited at Knightsbridge, or the bullet-proof jacket designed by the Wilkinson Sword Company. Of the protect. ire value of sach articles there an be no doubt; they are, in fact, the complement of the steel helmet. But the ethical problemas arises from the circumstanos that the rank and file are not provided with body armour, nor for that. maiter, are all cfficers-in short, it is not "uniform.” On the one hand, it may be said that the prasegration of life in battle is s national gain when not accom plished at the expense of duty; on the other hand, an officer must needs have a deal of what wo may euphemistically term moral courage to call on men to expose themselves to a danger from whình he has secretly protected himself.
