ALADDIN,

The munificent gift of £25,000 to Oxford University by Sir Banil Zaharaf, KB. E., for the estab hshment of a Chair of French, to be called "the Marshal Foch Pro- fessorship of French Literature,” basagain whetted public curiosity as to the identity(which he keeps | half-veiled) and the individuality (which be keeps wholly veiled) of a millionaire who seems to be possessed of Aladdin's lanip, says the Daily Mail.

These are some of the inspired beneficences of Sir Basil Xabaroff: $40,000 a month to the Greek Treasury during the Balkan War.

$20,000, in May 1911, to a fund for training young French- men for the Olympic Games.

It is said that he is worth £1,000,000, but the mystery and self-effacement with which he shroads his liberality and the greatness and apparent casual-} neas of his givings have led to other estimates of wealth almost fabulous.

General were besom friends. Last year the Captain went to Salonika, and his wife used to write that the Major General had been over to see her. The

Captain had 10 objection to this owing to his friend- ship with the Major-General. In April this year the Captain returned, and stayed with his wife at a Blackpool Hotel, She suggested that the Major-General should coma and see them, and he did on an aeroplane. One night the Captain, returning from a walk, found his wife and the Major-General in his. bed- room together. He formed the opinion that his wife had been sitting on the Major-General's lap. The co-respondent's dress was disarranged. The Captain left the place and put up at an- other hotel close by. Later his wife wrote to him saying: { don't know how to write this 1sinful letter to you, but what you ask (to give up the co-respon dent) is impossible. He is the one friend I have in the world, and I cannot give up seeing him." A decree nisi was grant- ed, with costs.

The officers then examined the basket and on taking up the eggs they found that each egg was about four times its natural weight. On questioning the Chinamen as to the cause, the man said that the eggs were about to be hatched and that they were being taken on board for that purpose, as the steamer was leaving port. One of the officers then broke one of the eggs and found its contents to be opium. The Chinamen were at once arrested and all the eggs were examined and found to con- tain opium. It subsequently
