UNUSUAL STAMPS PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES A philatelic "error in a million," the printing of the King's head oa both sides of a sheet of 45 halfpenny stamps, has aroused the interest of stamp collectors in every part of the country, says the "Daily Mail." The stamps were issued to a London suburban post office, and six of them were sold before the error was discovered. The purchaser 'of the seventh, however, was a lucky collector, who, realising that he had chanced on an error unique in tho history of his hobby, promptly bought up the remaining 38." They are estimated to be worth at least £50 in all, and arc now in the possession of a stamp dealer. "That this particular sheet should be passed for sale is astonishing," said Mr. Bowie, the dealer, to a, "Daily Mail" reporter, "for all stamps are examined three or four times by Post Office officials after delivery from the printers, in this case Messrs. Waterlow and Sons. "Those unnsod stamps nro valuable, but no one can says what the value of tho. six stamps which were sold, and presumably used on correspondence will be. The chance of their turning up is one in a million; they mnv be anywhere in the world." Sir Edward Wnterlow, managing director of Waterlow and Sons, said: "We print at least 24,000,000 stamps a week of all kinds and.have never had such an accident before. "It appears that tlio corner of a sheet passing through the machine was turned over, with the result that the blanket .took the ink and the impression. When the next sheet passed through, the gummed side, took the impression off the blanket. The first faulty sheet was detected and thrown out, but the second was passed because its reverse side was not examined." end of the room. At the other end is a blackboard, ruled with columns corresponding; to the number of patrols. In each column is the semaphore alphabet, not- iti order. Each patrol leader has chalk. At the word •■Go." each P.L. is given a word containing an equal number of letters. Take ''Scout" as an example. The P.L. runs to the board, marks "S" with a cross and returns, handing his chalk to the second, who, in his turn, marks "C,' and so on. The first patrol to complete correctly, wins. While people in TOnsland talk of a "Palais de Danse," in many of the French provincial town? they return the compliment by speaking of ''Un Dancinz."
