HAS FAMOUS PANTRY Besides Possessing Great Historic In terest, Their Financial Value Is Enormous—8ome Marvels of Workmanship There. Among the famous pantries of the world is that of Queen Mary at Wind sor. This pentry comprises two rooms of no great dimensions, but It contains treasures in the form of plate and household articles that are valued at more than a million pounds sterling. Many of these possess historic inter est. For example, there is a con spicuous exhibit In the form of a table of solid silver. This Is nearly a yard in length, and its top, with an area of several square feet, bears the royal arms and exquisitely chased de signs of the symbolic rose, thistle, harp, etc. Every reign since that of Elizabeth has contributed to this table a design of some sort. The most Imposing of all the daz zling array of plate is the so-called gold dinner service for occasions of the highest state. The walls of the two rooms of this royal pantry, the larger of which is 30 feet by 16 feet, and the smaller a Party of Gentian uhlans In Poland shooting from the saddle, their long lances stuck in the ground beside square of 16 feet, are lined with cases of plate glass and mahogany, and in their horses. these and similar cases, occupying the center of each room, are some of the most extraordinary examples of art in gold, silver and precious stones that the world has ever seen. There are tall, graceful epergnes. each of which would tax the strength of two men to lift it; there are dishes In gold and silver, any one of which would be too heavy to run away with; dainty toilet services in gold and sil ver, candelabra, communion services, flagons, vases, punch bowls, wine cool ers, fountains and fonts in silver, wrought in designs of great beauty by the most skillful artists. The most beautiful of all these, ft is said, is the Nautilus vase, fash ioned, it is claimed, out of pearl, gold and silver by the hands of Benvenuto Cellini, himself, although it bears the name of an artist of Nuremberg, Nich olas Schmidt. The shell, which is of pearl, mounted in silver and gold of the most delicate chasing, is poised on the shoulders of a superbly mount ed horseman, and above the pearl shell Austrian soldiers taking communion before going into battle. The regimental bands supply sacred as well as another figure is throned. Another marvel of workmanship is martial musie. the rose water fountain. In silver, with its dome supported by columns, around w hich are grouped horses and hounds. Tn point of interest it would be diffi cult to picture any article of the kind more artistically perfect than the silver-gilt flagon, that was rescued from the armada more than three hun dred years ago. This flagon is a yard high and its value runs far into the thousands. One of the historic bits that are highly prized is a quaint pair of bel lows, mounted in silver and gold, that once belonged to Nell Gwynn. There are ponderous silver “fliedogs” of the time of Charles II, and near by is an enormous punch bowl, contributed by George IV as an example of the art of Flaxman.

AUSTRIANS TAKE COMMUNION BEFORE BATTLE GERMAN SUBMARINE U-5 IN STORM the destruction of British merchant GERMANS PUBLISH PAPERS IN POLAND This catapult, in the form of a big slingshot, is used in a French trench to hurl bombs at the German posi tions. Is It a Dinothérium? It is refreshing now and then to get away from daily consideration of the modern monsters of destruction and renew a suspended acquaintance with the behemoths of the earliest days. Here, for Instance, is the story of the fossil survival of what may have been a dinothérium, according to the discoverer. It was dislodged, the fossil was dislodged, from a section of yellow clay 15 feet below the street level at St. George. Staten island. The foreman of the excavating gang says the bones look mightily like an elephant's, but the finder scorns this unprofessional opinion and sticks to the dinothérium theory. What the ubiquitous and fee-gathering coroner will have to say may be known later. Anyway, the dinothérium—if that’s what they decide to call it—is calcu lated to give sated New York a rest from war's alarms and bomb outrages and scandal stories, which can be re garded as a consummation devoutly to be approved. Sell Bomb at Auction. First Aeroplane Bomb—A contribu tion to the fund has been made in the shape of a fragment of the first bomb which fell on English soil in this Euro pean war. The contributor considers that, as an enduring record of the war, the fragment should increase in value as time goes on, and he has decided that it shall be offered for sale to the highest bidder, and the amount rea lized credited to the Times fund for the sick and wounded. The donor will give to the purchaser of this fragment of the bomb the authentic history of how it came into his possession. The highest bld received will be accepted. —From the London Times.
