"Oh, you know the way to talk, all right!" said Jupp, and closed the door Yiolently behind him as he went out. It was raining outside, and he was Without an overcoat. Arriving at his Bbods, he angrily shook the moisture from his jacket, and was hanging up his peaked cap when he paused to Btare at a smart mauve raincoat that fiecorated the hat-stand, "Oh, yes, of course!" grumbled Jupp, With somewhat unreasonable bitter- ness.

"It won't be work to you, my man," said Jupp. "It'll just be a few min- utes' enjoyment and pleasures to you. Clouting someone's head for 'em, and pushing 'em about," he explained. "I'll tell you where he lives, and you can wait for him. You'll easy know him---wears a pink hat and a light purple sort o' coat, and he'll be carry- ing a swagger, silver-mounted um- brella."

"When he comes out of the house," instructed Jupp, "you follow him some- where where it's lonely." "There was some talk about a couple 0' bob apiece," murmured Gossett. "Bob each now, and a hob each to- morrow morning," promised Jupp. "I'll be outside the Seamen's Institute at eleven." Gossett and Wrapson, avowing their loyal co-operation, set forth on their mission. A belated pang of remorse sent the captain trotting after them. "No need to be too harsh with him," -he said. Although Captain Jupp sought to persuade himself that he was only do- ing his duty as a loving father, he felt rather uncomfortable, and finally Rhoda." with it?"

I'm sure do not appear in the scheduled lists, so that the inclusion of the Tower of London and the Abbey chapter-house and chapel in the latest list is of some significance. As Regent Street Crown ownership does not neces- sarily give protection to any building, as has been shown in the case of Re- gent-street and, more recently, Carlton House-terrace. Unless these Crown properties are brought under the care of the Com- missioners of Works they are just as liable as any privately-owned property to destruction by process of "commer- cial development." The Commissioners of Crown Lands merely act as estate agents charged with the duty of getting the best pos- sible revenue out of the management of the property, whereas the Commis- sioners of Works are concerned with the preservation of monuments of na- tional importance to whomsoever they may belong. 51 Buildings Fifty-one old buildings--castles, ab- beys, palaces, cathedrals, etc. starred as having come into the Works Com- missioners' charge as Crown property --are now included in the scheduled list and have apparently been taken over from the Crown Lands Commis- sioners for permanent protection. Among these are three castles in Kent (Deal, Dover, and Walmer), and the Knights Templar Church, Dover. In Middlesex there is the old Brew House, Bushey Park; and in Essex the Gateway, Tilbury, Fort; St. John's, Abbey Gate, Colchester, and Harold's formed of microscopic elements refer- red to as globules, swimming in a liquid substance called plasma. "The blood, as soon as it emerges from the vessels, undergoes physico- chemical modifications ending in its coagulation. "The clot is made up of a substance termed fibrin, presenting the aspect of meshes or links close together, im- prisoning the globules. "It appears that fibrin is the pro- duct of the action of a substance tech- nically termed 'thrombin' upon an- other substance normally in the blood plasma and known as "firbrigenic'-- giving rise, that is, to fibrin." The tissues, and especially the mus- lar tissue, of birds, contain the two substances--the plasma containing, for its part, only the fibrogenic sub- stance. Dr. Ogliastri then proceeds to give us these further details: "If we previously remove the blood of the bird in such a way that it has no contact with the tissue mass, the blood will remain liquid indefinitely, coagulation not being possible. These considerations have led cers tain authorities to utilize the coagu- lating pcwer of the muscle of the bird. Xo "Hemorrhages are a real difficulty for the surgeon, and at the same time a great peril for the patient. : "All physical expedients hitherto adopted proving insuffi.ient, Dr. da Martel and his aid had recourse to & Liological procedure based upon the Lemostatic action of the muscle of a bird.
