EISTEDDFOD ECHOES. The Rev J. J. Williams, the chaired bard, wan given an enthusiastic reception on his arrival at Pentre on Friday evening. Headed by a. posse of police and the Cory Prize Band, playing triumphal marches, a huge procession was formed to escort the eistedd- fodic hero from Ystrad' railway station to Siloh Ohapel, Pentre, whilst, thousanda of people lined the thoroughfare, which was made gay with bunting. At Siloh 'Chapel subsequently congratulatory stanzas and addresses were delivered. There. was a notable absence of hymn singing at the Eisteddfod. This was "not due to the absence of requests for them, but to the increased respect that been brought about towards Welsh sacred singing in Walts since the advent of the, Revival. It was >n this ground that every request made for hymn singing to the Eisteddfod Committee was resolutely refused. The Rev T. Chares Williams, M.A., speak?*g at Moriah, '^ernarvon, on Sunday last, referred in commendatory terms to this reform.

Un Thursday Mr E. Jones Williams, Rhydlonfair, Pentrevoelas, was found hang- ing at the back of his residence by members of his family. The deceased was one of Lord Penrhyn's estate agents. He was chairman of the Geirionydd Rural Council and a member of the Llanvwst Guardians. He was identified with the Nursing Institute and a justice of the peace- for the county of Carnarvon. He leaves a widow and a large family. The upper portion of the Vale of Conway is greatly perturbed by the news.

SCt-COLMASTER S TRIBUTE. ZAM-BUK IN CONSTANT USE FOR CHILDREN'S SKIN TROUBLES I AND HURTS. A striking illustration of the unique place occupied by Zam-Buk, the standard skin- cur? and first aid. is furnished by Mr T. B. Evans, headmaster, Bronant Council School, near Aberystwyth, who writes:— "In addition to their ordinary duties, t?acher> are expected to keep a watchful eye upon the bodily ailments of the little ones, and often to attend to the simple ones. It is quite a matter of course- for my scholars to come to me when anything is the matter with them, and I have paid particular a.t- tention to their skin troubles. I experi- mented with various breakingi?-out from which the Youngsters were continually suffering, bu' found nothing efficacious until I tried Zam-Buk some few weeks ago. Zam. Buk proved itself a. i;oolh:Tig and speedy shin-cure, and now, after a. few weeks' con- S'ta it, use of it. thene are D" scabby faces, F-r.r'* hands, pimples, or nn-ir-liev-i of scurvy and ringworm in ilie whole school.

MINISTER FOR THE CHILDREN. The Dutchess of Somerset, says "Caseell's Saturday Journal," ha13 ior many years actively interested herself in promoting the welfare of children, which tiho herself de- scribes as the "be6t work of her life." and her Grace lecently said that she "would like to see a 'Minister for the Children' in the Government."

A CABBY IN PETTICOATS. Varvara Smolianoff, who drives a cab in Moscow, 16, according to "Caswell's Satur- day Journal." the only woman licensed driver in Russia. Her father, a cabman, lest his life in trying to save that of a police-sergeant, and the authorities there- upon transferred his license to his daughter, in whose cab many ladies like to ride.

THE STEPNEY ARCADE. The People's Arcade. Stepney, which has just been formally opened, consists, accord ing to "Building World," of 144 shops in four avenues. All trades will be represented in the building, end freshwater fish will be sold alive from tanks. The total area of the arcade is about 29,000 super, feet. The object of the promoters is to provide shops at a rental of 10s 9d per week for small tradesmen, and thu6 to get rid of the gutter- market."

A NEW EXPLOSIVE. "Vigorif is a new explosive for which, ac- cording to "Work," the inventors. Dr G. Schultz of Munich, and Mr Fritz Gehre, en- .gineer, of Pullach.. Bavaria, claim that it is absolutely safe against friction or concus- sion that it can be fired only by an electric current; it cannot be affected by water; fire does not explode it, but simply burns it up. "Vigorit" is free from poisonous gases after the discharge, and therefore well adapted for mining purposes. The new ex- plosive can be made in different grades^ and it is further claimed to be particularly well adapted for the filling of charges- for heavy guns.

-i A ROYAL CONSTITUTION. King Edward VII., ever from his early yen is, was thoroughly instructed in English constitutional history, and it is said the young Prince of Wales, as he then was, grew to dislike this branch of his studies most cor- dially. Tractable as he always was when a boy, the Prince once openly rebelled, we read in "Chums," and said to his tutor: "I hate this study, sir! It is frightfully dry "Oh replied the tutor, somewhat shocked, "But it 16 most imperative that you should know all about the constitution of the country you will one day have to rule and govern." "Yes, sir," smartly replied the Prince "the English Constitution is import- ant, I know. But what about my consti- tution?"

MR HENRY VIVIAN, M.P. In some respects Mr Henry Vivian, M.P. for Birkenhead, is one of the most remark- able men in the House of Commons. A joiner by trade, we are told in an article in "Cassell'a Saturday Journal" that at the age of sixteen he was busy earning his own liv- ing. Since he ceased to be a carpenter, he has made two subjects peculiarly his own— co-partnership in housing .and co-partner- ship in labour; and now he is engaged in providing persons of limited means wishing to have houses of their own with opportuni- ties for gratifying his ambition, while, in addition, he is carrying out a big and novel scheme—and a highly successful one, too— the object of which is to enable working men to start in business as their own masters.

QUEEN ALEXANDRA AND HER LATIN LESSONS. Queen Alexandra confesses that, when young, she could never reconcile herself to the Latin language. Her Majesty, however, according to "Chums," was very strictly brought up, and her likes and dislikes, as regards her studies, were not often con- sulted. The Qtieen—Princess Alexandra then had a worthy old pastor as tutor; a .man deeply learned in the classics. "You •say that it is wrong to speak badly about the dead, don't you?" once said the princess to her old master. "Yes, very wrong in- -wag the Mp.y. "The Latin lan- guage is dead., isn't it?" again scked the Ü!- quititive Princess. "Yes; it is dead. Why?" queried the pastor. "Oh," replied the Prin- cess; "I was just going tc say something bad about it, that'J all!" And then, with a pathetic little sigh, "Oh, I do think its cruel not to let the dead rest."

APPOINTING A ROYAL COMMISSION. 'Since it came into office the present Gov- ernment has appointed quite a number of Royal Commissions and other inquiries. How is a Royal Commission conducted? We learn much concerning it from an article in ".CasseMIs 'Saturday Journal. The man in the street can hardly be expected to know, since such inquiries are private. But it has been possible to obtain a peep behind the scenes, to observe the machinery at work. And very complicated machinery it is, requiring, unremitting and careful at- tention. First as to the. appointment of the members of a Royal Commission. It is given to the Minister in whose department the matter to be inquired into arises to sug- ge6t the names of the gentlemen who should act as commssioners. These names are brought before the Prime Minister, and if they are approved by him he submits them to the King. When his Majesty's sanction has been obtained, the commissioners set to work. They hold a meeting and first dis- cuss their arrangements for taking evidence, and draw up a list of persons who shall be they are approved by him he submits them to the King. When his Majesty's sanction has been obtained, the commissioners set to work. They hold a meeting and first dis- cuss their arrangements for taking evidence, and draw up a list of persons who shall be required to appear before them, and then the hard work begins.

CYCLING AND MOTORING. Most, of as, presumably, were under the impression that it would be sufficient to ask for refreshment at any house of call during prohibited JlOursHrovided jW-e. had ridden three miles, but it appears that¥ we must also prove that we are in need of refresh- ment. So at least, the Darlington justices decided in a case before them last week. But how can we prove it? Must there be a medical examination, or a test of the parched tongue? A Rhodesian cyclist has revived an old idea in the form of an automatic cycle pump, but the principle does not appear to differ greatly from those of any of its pre- decessors. Moreover, it has vet to be shown that cyclists want an automatic pump. Theoretically it would be very nice to have your tyres pumped up as you go along, but the extra weight to be carried, and the addi- tional labour involved, to say nothing of the strain on the tyres when riding first in a partially deflated condition and the im- possibility of pumping air in as fast as it goes out in many cases, all tend to make such ideas impractical. Maxime Lurion, who twelve years ago. ap- peared on many of our tracks as a profes- sional champion is now one of the most famous caterers in Austria. owning large hotels and restaurants at Vienna, and Mar- ienbad. He retired from racing when 26, and on the profits he had made has built up, in six years, his present splendid business. This year he is conducting the restaurant at Earl's Court. Speaking to an interviewer Lurion insisted upon the important part which an athlete's strict training and keen exercise of the brain in racing play in bit! subsequent equipment for business. "When I was racing," he said. "I had but one object—to be first, always first, and it, has been the same with me in business and I have so far succeeded that in Austria I now employ three hundred people, and another three hundred here at Earl's Court in the restaurant and beer hall. I should like to mention a curious fact. Continental scient- ists have declared in writing it is presump- tuous of an athlete who has trained hard, and who marries after retiring into private life, to hope for a family. Now mv case is a standing refutation .of this theory, for I have two fine, healthy bovs. Possibly my case is the exception, but there it is." The vocal orchestra in the Lager Beer Hall is Lurion's own conception, and this rendez- vous popular "ism-t in the Earl's Court Exhibition. Bristol-rend, Birmingham, was recently the scene of a quaintly humorous incident. A young woman riding along collided with a tram, fortunately without any serious con sequences to either party in the collision. The usual crowd collected.the policeman and conductor both produced their notebooks, and. adding insult to injury, wanted to know the cyclist's name &c.. but their seeking for information was not gratified. The lady was not of that build, but. made of grit we all must admire, she turned upon her inter- locutors. shaking herself like a Newfound- land dog just come out of the water and with a look of withering scorn, ejaculated— "Ger away; think I've Yrt yer bloomin' tram," and mounting her bicycle. rode rapidly away to business, greatly to the amusement of the crowd, and the discom- fiture of the officious ones. Whatever the faults of the male cyclist it. cannot be fairly alleged against him that he does not look after his womankind, but there is frequently something lacking in the wheelman's knowledge of the best way in which to help a lady up a hill. The young lovers' practice of an arm round the lady's waist may be dismissed as a- form of tem- porary lunacy which disappears after one or two falls, but our own experience has always been that the best assistance can be given by gripping the lady's handlebars in the centre. This keeps the lady's bicycle slightly behind the gentleman's, so that there is no risk of the pedals catching, while a firmer and better grip of the bicycle is thus obtained. The centre of the handle- bar should be taken, as otherwise the lady's steering would be affected. This is dis- tinctly better than a, hand behind the lady's waist, or an effort to hold the lady's arm. either of which may easily affect the feminine steering and so bring about a spill. But with the handlebar grip many a hill can be surmounted together which would otherwise have to be walked. "'One man may take a. horse to the water, but ten cannot make him drink," has again been illustrated in the fad. thot. while we cannot make it compulsory for all cycles to carry brakes, we cannot ensure that the cyclist will use them. At Worksop a cyclist was descending a hill on a machine a,t a high rate of speed, but on his proper side, and, at the foot of the descent a. trap driven by a lady was coming in the oppo- site diiection. There were some foot pas- sengers on the road, and, to avoid them, the lady crossed to her off side. By thi& time the cyclist. still travelling at a high speed, WR6 bearing down on her, and he called out to ask which side she meant to take. Both tried -it. the same moment to avoid each other, with the usual result that they turned the same way, and rode into each other, the cyclist sustaining injuries, of which he died the same night. The case was. well summed up by the Coroner, who pointed out that there was no evidence of negli- gence on the part of the lady driver. Both parties seem to have lost their heads, which iva, not remarkable, considering the speed at which the deceased had' been riding. It i., extraordinary tha.t 0. man with brakes ready at hand should not in such im- perative circumstances have checked his pace, and should rather have chosen to take the enormous risk, both to himself and others, of negotiating a crowded road' at so high a spt'^d. But the unfortunate accident may serve Ik. n warning to others: brakes are fitted to cycle-, for use, and not simply as ornaments. On this point the old question is again being raised that, for wet weather hub brakes are better than rim brakes, since the latter arc inclined to ;lip when the rims aTO wet. The idea is a delusion. For many years we have ridden with rim brakes through heavy rain. and never yet have we found them ineffective if properly adjusted. Both brakes should lie so adjusted that either will lock and cskid the wheels; if this is done no amount of rain will prevent, the brakes doing their work. At the same time, the rider with brakes so adjusted re- ouire,s t-o 115:21 iiwlsment :n annlving them. Skidded1 wheels means tremendous wear on the tries, and should be avoided save in ^mp-rgencie>s. The experienced rider knows how to apply his or her brakes just suffi- ciently to retard the bicycle as much :'11"1 may be needed.

The feelings of paterfamilias, 1 who has rushed his wife and family down to the seaside on a. hot day, may be left toj the imagination. t So ferious have the depredations of cycle thieves in the south of England grown that the police have issued a special warning to the public, and a request that any losses will be immediately leportad, by telephone or telegram. There seems to be a. gang of professional thieves at work. But. even I the single-handed operator can accomplish much. What he can do is shown in a ease last week at Manchester, where, last week, a young man at the City Police Court pleaded guilty to three charges of bicycle stealing. He had a number of aliases, three of which were Joseph Ferguson, Stephen Randall. and Joseph Hill. Learning from a casual acquaintance named George Pollitt that he had a bicycle for sale, Ferguson called at the lodgings of Pollitt a few days later and informed the landlady that "George told me tu call and look at the machine." The woman allowed him to try the bicycle, bend- ing her little boy with him. Ferguson soon got rid of the boy and rode off. In the second cose Ferguson called at the house of Thomas Harris, Newton Heath, and asked to fee a bicycle which was advertised for 6al,p. He wae allowed to ride away on it, and never returned. The third machine was a motor cycle, which Thomas Lee. of Hulme Hall lane, Miles Platting, had adver- tised for sale, and which he valued at £ 18. Ferguson wars allowed to try it. He mounted the machine and made off. The police asked for a remand in order to trace some other bicycles, and this was granted. One cannot be too careful in giving instructions that strangers should, on no account, lie allowed to take bicysles away, and this case may serve as a warnings To the wonderful list of special deformi- ties which afflict the followers of certain sports and pastimes.—such as the golf arm, the bicycle back, and the motor face—there falls to be added still another. It is the cycle head, and its existence has disclosed in a discussion which followed a paper on "The Physiological Value of Rest." read by Dr Thomas D. Acland, of Middlesex Hos- pital, before the Physiological Section of the British Association. In the course of the discussion, Dr Bevan Lewis said that gym- nastics was not a igood eure for mental fatigue, nor wee excessive cycle riding. There had, he declared, been developed 1D recent years what was known as the cycle head amongst men, due to excessive cycle riding and keenness to establish records. That kind of thing did not produce sleep. There is always something new and wonder- ful being discovered, and by this time we are growing accustomed to medical alarums. It will take a good deal to induce the young Briton to believe that there is no virtue in outdoor exercise. No more strikng evidence of the compara- tive safety of the motor-car has been given than the official return from Scotland Yard of the number of accidents caused by horse- drawn vehicles in London in the past twelve- month. In the year there were no fewer than 23,826 accidents caused by horse-drawn vehicles, other than tramcars, of which 161 j were fatal. Thus there are in London every day 76 accidents caused by horse-drawn vehicles, of which one every other day results in death. Compare thig with the results of motor accidents—and bear in mind that every motor accident is given the widest publicity, whilst horse accidents are so com- mon that they are only noticed when specific features arise—and we see how hollow is the outcry about the "motor holocaust." The growth of the motor industry has been nowhere greater than in Italy, where, ac- I cording to the lat.est statistics; there are now forty-eight companies with a total capital of 250.000 000 lire (about £ 10,000,000) engaged ill the manufacture of automobiles fifteen of theso companies, with a total capital of 100,000,000 lire (about £ 4.000,000), have been formed during the present year. In addition to these there nre nineteen companies, with a total capital of about 25.000,000 lire (about £ 1.000,000), employed in the manufacture of bodies of autimobiles and twenty-four com- panies. with a total capital of 23.000.000 lire (about £ 992,000), engaged in allied indus- tries, e.g., the manufacture of tyres, lamps, &c. It would be interesting to have some similar figures regarding other countries. England and Italy, it would be found, have shown by far the greatest advance in recent years, although it is probable that France i6 still first.' • i

CHINA AND THE REVIVAL. LETTER FROM DR GRIFFITH JOHN. The Rev R. O. Evans, Xeath, secrtary of the Glamorganshire Congregational Union, has received the following letter from the veteran Welsh missionary, Rev Griffith John, D.D. :— "11, Delevan terrace, Yonkers. X.Y.. "U.S.A., August 3rd. 1906. "Whether I shall return to China by way positively now. I am here seeking the rest of England or direct from here I cannot say which I so greatly need with the hope of being able to return to China in a fit condi tion to render a few years more service to the mission at Hankow. My heart is in China and my supreme desire is to spend the rest of my days in building up the work to which I consecrated myself more than 50 years ago. I am very much better than I was when I left China, but I have not re- covered my strength. Hope, ;howeYier, has come back, and I am looking* forward with joy to the time when I shall End myself once more in the midst of my beloved work in the I land of Sinim. "I thank God for the givat revival in Wales. and am ever praying that we in China may have a similar outpouring of God's spirit. A vast amount of preparatory work has been done in China. '^The seed has been widely sown, and a certain knowledge of the truth is very general. When I arrived in China it was a rare thing t-cf meet anyone out hide the Treaty Ports who knew anything about the Truth. Now you meet them here and there and everywhere. Our Scriptures and tracts a.re, everywhere, and everywhere they are being read and studied. What do we want now? We want a great outpouring of God's spirit. That is our great need in China at this time. Will God's people- in Wales join us in earnest prayer for this great blessing? There is not a man or a woman among you who cannot render the greatest ^possible service to the work in China. You may not be able to go out as missionaries yourselves, but you can all pray. Would it not be a good thing to turn a portion of every Cymallfa. into a prayer meeting for the conversion of the world? By so doing you would be rendering a great service to the missionary cause the world all over, whilst the blessing drawp upon your- selves would be incalculable."
