SALMON AS TRAVELLERS. Experiments with the marking of salmon carried out under the direction of the Fisheries Board for Scotland have yielded some notable I’esults. From the Kyle of Tongue (Sutherland) salmon have moved to places as far apart as Loch Broom and Cromarty, Loehinvar and the River Spey, One salmon made a journey of 250 miles in seven days, The record, however, is held by a salmon which travelled from the River Spey to the Eden, near Carlisle, a distance of fully 630 miles, GAME WAGON HEARSE. The Marquis of Ripen, who died while shooting, was hurried at Studley Church in the presence of a large gathering of his tenants. The coffin was drawn on a game wagon, and game-keepers acted as hearers. Among the wreaths was a cross from Queen Alexander, inscribed. “With dee)> and heartfelt sorrow for dear Lord de Grey, my dear and faithful friend for so many years, whom I shall never cease to regret and mourn, like his dear parents and his beloved wife, who left lipn so lonely.” The King and the prince of Wales were represented at a short gild simple memorial service at the Chapel Royal, St. James’ Palace,
