New Zcalantl received its first British settlers in that year, and. ilcspiic the war, arrangements for celebrating the centenary of New Zealand as a British colony and Dominion are to be carried through next autumn. Cape Town, also, has made preparations to celebrate its centenary in i940. 'I'wo great steamship lines, the Cunard and the Pacific Steamship Company, were founded in i840. In the same year the remains of Na- poleon, brought from St. Helena, were placed in the Invalides in Paris; the foundation stones of thc Scot .\Ionunient in Princes Street, Edin- btirgli, and of thc Nelson Monument in Tra- falgar Square, London, were laid: On March 4 next, fifty years ago, the Forth Bridge, one of thc engineering wonders of the world, was opened. (living back 20o years, we find it recorded that the National Anthem, “God Save The King", though composed many years previously, was first performed in i740. in celebration of the capture of I'orto Ilello in South America, by Admiral Vernon. Tihrcc hundred ycars ago the Covcnanting troubles had Scotland in the toils, and i640 also saw the beginning of the Long Parliament in England. llaclt in I440. there ivas the founding of liton College. hi i340 Queen's College.

John Joseph Jaeoto, born at Dijon. France, died in i840, and iii the saute year there was born at Banffshire, Scotland, Thomas. Davidson, who became one of America's greatest educationists. Still better known was Ira D. Saknev, the great American evangelist, who also was born in i840. Literary hiceiitciiarii-s include the name of Tamcg Hasn't-ll of Aiicliinleck. famous as the companion and biographer of Dr. Johnson, born 20o years ago. Th: same year saw the death of the composer.

Among interesting names of 1640 are Robert Burton, celebrated for his “Anatomy of Melan- choly”; John Day, the dramatist; Reubens, the famous Flemish artist; and Sir William Alex- ander, first Earl of Stirling, poet and statesman. to whom the King gave a grant of the lands of Nova Scotia. The year i540 gives a record of the Ayrshire Imet, Alexander Montgomery, who wrote “The Cherric and the Slae". In that year was born William Gilbert, “the father of magnetism", and tlicd the great Portgucsc explorer, Tristran da Cunha. In i440 there died Bishop Wardlaw, who founded St. Andrews University.

Owing, however, to the difficu]. tiesof manufacture, no more kills will be issued until the war is over.
