With a view to promote the study of Confucian classics, | General Tuan Chi-jui held a con- ference the other day with a number of well-known Chinese scholars including Mr. Ling Su and General Isu Shu-cheng to discuss the ways and means to be devised for this purpose.

BIPLANE ON A GLACIER.

A splendid feat of Alpine acro- batic dying has been accomplish- on the Jungfrau Joch. 11.140 feet high. It was watched by a crowd of alpinists and skiers. A Swiss lieutenant named Ackermann, with. Major Isler as passenger, left Thun in a military biplane, with the object of landing on the Jungfrau Joch glacier, where a landing place had been prepared. Owing to the rarefaction of the air. the machine flew a hundred yards further. plouged through the snow, and came to a stand- still within a few yards of a deep crevasse. The machine was slightly damaged, but the oc- cupants were unhurt.

BUILDING THE NEW JERUSALEM. The International Zionist Com- mission has engaged Mr. Patrick Geddes, Professor of Botany at St. Andrew's University, and one of the greatest living authorities on civies and social survey, for the planning of the new Jerusalem and its proposed university. Along with Dr. Weizmann, bead of the British Zionist Commission. he is to leeva immediately for Palestine, and prepare a report for the Zionist colonies in Palestine and the towns of Haifa, Jaffa, etc. Mr. Geddes will also organise 2 department of sociology and civics on behalf of Bombay University, and, during the cold season, will carry out the Indian town plauning work, in which be was previously employed.

"PSYCHIC MAIDS."

The story of Hagar, according to the Rev. Walter Wynn, in his recently published book "The Bible and the After Life," is the story of the psychic maid." Do angels, he asks, still walk among us as men? He relates a a personal experience when ill end suffering from sieeplessness. A Blackpool lady, at whose board- iug estab ishment ho resided, suggested a cure which she was told by her "spirit doctor." Be gives the name and address of this lady, and says that she was the

psychic maid " through whom the angel" spoke to save his life. The cure, which was effective, consisted in nothing more mysterious than a cup of vinegar added to half a bucket of hot water. In the same way the author believes there is Biblical evidence in support of spiritualistic phenomena general- 17, and with respect to automatic writing cites what purports to be messages from his dead son about whom be has written another book.

PHOSPHORESCENT TREES. A curious phenomenon Spaldwick is exciting the curios. its of residents in that part of Huntingdonshire. A short time ago some old elm trees were cut down by the roadside, and at night | the chips and the trunks where they had been cut glowed with a brilliant blue-green light

that passengers in the road, cyclists, and others

the stopped, thinking

trees were on fire. The trees con- tinued to glow on the following evening and subsequently, but with a gradually diminishing light. Timber merchants of long experience have no knowledge of trees glowing in this way. An analytical chemist, questioned hy a correspondent, says that the phenomenon is a known one, but extremely rare. There are, be says, certain fungoid growths which emit phosphorescent light, but only for a short time. These old trees, he surmises, may have developed phosphorescence at a certain stage of decay, but that the light should last over, such a long period is, he says, extra- ordinary..
