THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN l PAGE NINE

The Queen's love of things in miniature, well ‘known to her intl~ motes, has led to the production of one ofthe most unique and fascin- ating products of present day art and industry. It is the Queen's Dolls’ House which is now com- piste, and which is to be llltlfftltl on view at the British Elupirc Exhib- ition, near London, in April. Tho Dolls‘ I-louse is a perfect model of the best in domestic architecture, and in the art in this decade- After the exhibition it is to be preserved at, Windsor Castle, and eventually in some national museum to pr serve for future generations a means of viewing the accomplish- ments of post-war British Empire, it is an unusual idea, and if it had occurred to our forefathers in gen- erations pnst we could now have on record the sort of homes. they lived in and tho surrontlings of their daily life.

The suggestion of such :1 lllllilb turo home came from ‘tin- aged Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, a daughter of Queen Victoria, who founded the lloyal Canadian Acad-

her husband, who was at that. limo thoMarquis of Lorne, as the Gov- ernor General of Canada. Sir Edwin Lutyens, who dnsigxiezl the famous cenotaph in London, has directed the work and designed the housu itself, which is just five feet high and eight feet six inches long. The walls can bn raised, so that cat-h of the beautifully proporlioizctl rotmis is visible. The picture above shows a corner of the library, where two hundred books, each one inch high, have been contributed by fitmous

A piece oi‘ burning waste ignites it, when it gives off a gas containing carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, and this gas-wool- od and freed from dustmls passed into tho carburetor. ltllxetl with air. tho gas is then drawn into the cylinders. For the same power, a larger tank is required than is uscd for gasoline, but it is stated that. the onglne needs very little change. and that the cost for fuel ll reduced to one-third of that of the gasoline engine.

The gratin line of the spectrum of tho aurora borcalls, due to the presence of-somo unknown gas, seems to hold much "of the mystery of the upper air. L Vegnrtl finds that the aurora is emitted chiefly at helgh-ts ot’ 60 to 75 miles, the top of the streamers ex- tending upward to 250 to ‘sou miles, and that the green of the spectrum continues as the most prominent line throughout the en- tire range. Though most of the line-s agree with those of nitrogen, the green and three other lines are not in the table of nitrogenlines determined in the laboratory. They cannot be attributed to hydrogen, helmlum or oxygen. Vendard con- cludes that nitrogen must be tho predominant gas throughout the auroral region, but at the upper limit of the atmosphere the nitrogen frozen into a dust of fine
