It is not often the administration of England's naval affairs 'is attended with any humorous features, but on one occasion at least an officer of the royal navy contributed quaintly to the archives of tlie admiralty, ,. Once, before the days of steel 'shins. the allowance of paint in the royal navy was very small, and sometimes the officers bad to pay. large Hums In order that their ships might maintain a decent appearance. Sir John Phllli more resorted to a funny expedient either to soften the heart of tbe navy board or. If that proved Impossible, to express his opinion. De painted one side of his yellow frigate black and white and used the rest of tbe black paint In printing on the other side In large letters. "No more paint!" . The navy board wrote to call his attention to the Impropriety of his conduct and algned themselves, as they did officially. "Your affectionate friends." Sir John made reply that be could not obliterate tbe objection-' able letters unless he were given more paint and signed himself. In turn. "Tour affectionate friend. John Phllll more." v , The naval authorities then called his attention to tbe Impropriety of the signature, to which Sir John respond ed. acknowledging the letter, stating be regretted that tbe paiut bad not been sent and ending, "1 am no longer your affectionate friend. John Phllll more." Hla frigate was permitted to retaiu her original yellow, and thus the navy board punished Sir John's im pertinence. ... . To Make It Desirable. "Going to move this spring?"

' According to a theory emrlciated by Trofessor Lenard, the aurora borealis is formed of cathode rays, emitted by the sun and deflected by the terrestrial magnetic field in the upper strata of the atmosphere. The Velocity of these cathode rays must be nearly equal to that of light and very, much greater than the velocity of csthode rays pro duced in the laboratory. Lenard con cludes that these extremely "hard"' cathode rays are emitted by unknown radioactive substances in the sun. Trial Delayed. Seattle, May 30.
