CJarkeof the Ontario depart ment of forrestry, in addressing the Canadian Institute, said 6ne of the greatest national problems was the mtflntenancc-of-'-a-forest-cover on its non-agricultural lands for the production of timber and the conserva tion of water, in fact, noting \*-puld contribute more, to tlm d/eYplqpment of the Dominion than an abundant tl^Ler supply. The forest's other sphere of usefulness was in the conservation of water by checking the surface run-off, owing to the sponsry character of the forest floor, by giving the water which does not at once enter the soil time to penetrate, by presenting obstructions in tho shape of leaves, twigs, moss, etc., and by attributing the flow from melting sno.w. In nn evergreon forest over weeks 'insfpfld of days, thus preventing disastrous flood,--. Referring to tlip jiipome which thc different provinoeti p.( the Dominion miglij hope to regpiyn from their forest lands, Dr. Clarke pointed out that Ontario alone had at least 60, • 000,000 acres of land which could be retained for timber pruductlpn.

Tbe Edmonton Bulletin says that it would be a financial disadvantago to the Territories to place them on the same footing as the other provinces. It pointg qi*t that in ten years the subsidy to Manitoba has increased from $437,599. to $553,327, while the subsidy to the Territories has increased from $223,261 to $1,111,000. The grant to the provinces, except in one particular, is fixed, and the.Bulletin says. this: operates to the,, disadvantage of a province whose population is growing rapidly. A cash subsidv, increasing annually with tbe population, is its recommendation. No doubt tlie proh,ah|Uty of a yery rapid increase in population is an element to be considered in carving out new provinces. The rapid increase, is likely, to continue for many years, and, therefore cannot be used as an argument for delay in granting full provincial powers, twu there is no reason why special arrangements, should not be made to meet tbe special circumstances of the West. As to the size of t^e new provinces, it may be noted that it has never b,een alleged that Ontario, Quebeo or i*cw Brunswick a^p top la^ge, while it has been ajleged that the Maritime provinces aro too small, and proposals have been made for uniting thorn Into one, That experience may be a guide in the West, SQSIE VIEWS OF WOMEN.

At Bridgeport, Conn., is, a "traveling •kindergarten for b:iby elephants com- - posed of eight little pachyderms jvlio •ire receiving iheir". education to be come performing elephants in .a. great strikes fur good measure and the pun- baby shakes its head at first in stubborn mood and trumpets in defiance, but tha- heavy, trunk continues to fall, and al last' the little'one drops on his knees on tlie'fioor and calls plaintively for mercy. Colonna - gives him a ' couple more jcircus. From S o'clock in tin*, morning until noon, and from *t o'clock in the Afternoon until 5, these baby elephants .are kept busy at their lessons, and -tlieir early school' days will continue throughout the long winter months. " The elephants have a regular system of rewards and punishments, and no .child was ever more sad than a baby elephant under discipline for beini*" bad. , "The school lasts all year round, but it is moved- with the circus, and the hours are changed to suit their liberty from llie ring. Seven of the babies are from .-Singapore and the eighth and youngest is native born. They are part of the - jierJ of a well known circus. The seven little fellows from the East Indies were brought to .the, United Stales a little more than a year ago and jjoined the kindergarten at. Bridgeport, where the circus had its winter quarters. - Coco, the An*(*rican, was too young to take lessons in tricks, for.it is only a little more than two" years old, 'hut since that time it has been enrolled -md nbwshows signs of overtaking the .others in its studies. The head teacher of the school is W. Emory. His assistant is T. Moohey There is a whole staff of tutors and occasionally and older elephant to take ".the part of a monitor. The pupils bedsides Coco, are Trilby, Topsy, Prince, Keetah, Bun'ihih, Annie and Curzon, •the last named after the viceroy of In— .dia. " In an elephant kindergarten one of the' babies is'taught alone until il has learned a trick. The first trick usually -is to lie down at command. The head teacher stands by a little fellow and says "Down". The -babv doesn't know •what thai means,-so llie tutors pull its ". legs'fro'm under it and throw it to the floor.. All the° time the head leacher ' has. been repeating the word of com- „ jiiand. After a time, perhaps, before .the end ofthe first day, the baby begins :to understand_wliat is wanted ...and dit lies down alone. Then it is petted and '•'Did you send Mr. $obley the samples he asked for?" inquired llie tailor." "Yes" replied the clerk, "I'm' just finishing our letter *to him. Which shall I say,-'Trusting lo have your order, 1 am' or 'we are'. " - "What! Cut out that 'trusting' and make it hoping.'."—Exchange. . BODY AND SPIRIT. Auld ishment is ended. This lesson has. a wholesome effect for behavior in school next day, for a whipping at home has followed discipline at the hands' of the richer. ' "Another of the tricks taught early to baby elephants is pirouetting. One is turned round by the tutors until it. has learned to'do the dance its-elf. Then the lesson is gtven lo the others by ex-" ample and pressure. After a time they have learned to dance together and a good start has bpen made in their training. The babies have now- been trained to go through a war scene. ' Three of ihem (ire a cannon and one falls down, apparently badly wounded. Then Capt. Mooney, who, is in command of the army, also is shot and drops to the ground, his sword falling by his side. One ofthe little elephants picks up and waves a-wl»ite flag, another covers the fallen officer's body with the Stars and stripes and with the aid of a third carries him from the field, while a fourth brings up {lip rpar with. the sword. Two of the eight that take part in the scf-np have been trained to act as understudies for the stars, but thoy never gejt mixed, A|l that is necessary is to give tliem the right cues at the starl of the performance. Then they go through it without a,break. Puring the current circuit season at the coliseum (hp elpphants will . have very little time for school, but as- soon as they go back to Bridgeport they will have to take jjp jllje course again and put in full time. Meantime they will not suffer for lagniappe, for if they are good in theL,cij-C'|s ring they get it just the satin? as Ijjey do in winter school. . A well known city , officer Reekie was celebrated for his cunning and wit."

The great financier of Wall Street has made $75. When this sort of a transaction is perpetrated in a small way we call it a "confidence game," or "obtaining money - under false pretences. The guilty man, if he is caught, is sent to prison, und tlie righteous indignation of the public is appeased, And this is as it should be, But the men who carry on similar transactions on a scale a million times as large become' pillars of churches They wear expressions of sancity.

They remove themselves from the contemplation of the ruin Ihcy have wrought, They do not like to be reminded of the homes they huve wroel-cd, or the suffer* ings they hnve caused.

' ' 1 .'''.■ ■ ' Mr. speaket and gentlemen ofthe legislative assembly: In meeting yoii ;at the commencement of the second ses- ioh of the tenth parliament of British Columbia, it is a source of much satisfaction to know that general prosperity prevails'throughout the province. - I am glad to be able'to inform you that the measures taken by. you last session have done much toward placing the finances of thc province on a sound basis, and ijiat for the first time in Oliiny years, the public accounts show a balance of revenue aver expenditure, In order to ascertain whether the present system of taxation bears equitably and evenly on all classes of tax payers. I appointed a commission to enquire into the matter and their report will be laid before you.' . The subject of the financial relations of the province and the dominion has had the serious consideration of -my government and a memorial has been presented to the dominion government showing the strong grounds that exist for a recognition ofthe claims of 3riu ish Columbia for belter, terms. 'The extensive, works undertaken some years ago for the protection of the lands in the valley of the Fraser River having been completed, although in some instances at a greater cost than originally estimated, the necessity of arriving at a final settlement with the owners of the lands affected suggests that the !ali"|We.*- shpujcj receive consid- pration during the present session.

A descent in a submarine is not as harrowing an experience as might -. be imagined. At first thought, two distinct forms of death present..themselves to the iniiid-^sufTocallon and drowning. But ihere is less danger -of drowning than there is in a surface! craft of the same size; for the submarine, strongly built-to withstand a calculated pressure at 350 feet depth, cannot spring a leak from any accident less than a collision with a stronger craftrr--wl*ich can be avoided by diving deep enough. As for suffocation, that fear* disappears when Ihe mind disapassionately" considers the forty cubic teet of plr, compressed to the pressure of 3000 pounds to the square inch, and carped in tanks cqiivenjen'ly distributedaboutthe boat's interior. This Is more than five thousand cubic feet at .a normal pressure; and added to this, a tank or two of pure oxygen may be carried to' replace what is absorbed by the human body. An air purifying apparatus "also *'can be carried lo free of its carbon and carbon dioxide expelled from the lungs, leaving the oxygen to be breathed over again, Most of the perils incident to a seafaring life are avoided in the submarine Yet there are dangers . and inconveniences, of course,-.peculiar :to this mode of navagationi and do'not .pertain to surface craft. Aside from the nervousness that one feels at first when' enclosed in an' air tight cylinder with' several feet of water overhead, there are no bad sensations to afflict one.,, You are . practically in an engine room, with the smell of oil and gasoline iniyour nostrils and -the buzzing of a motorin your ears. While the boatJsonlthe-surface.^you ca"n_feel_ the motiq'ii of tlie waves' and hear the wash of the water, but not when it. is submerged. •*' I'liere is no sinking sen* satipn, such as is felt in an elevator qr on a toboggan, A' depth dial .will tell you how deep down you are, and an inclination dia.1 will apprise you of the anglo at which you arc diving or rising, but aside from the vibration of the. motor, you feel nothing, except, perhaps, in a heavy sea. Then,, whether submerged or not, is tossed about and lifted upixnd down by the passing w^ves, there is a toellng of latarel pressure, such as comes to you in a swing. This is rather remarkable" since you feci no verticil sensation'.'" ■ Thero are rules to be observed. You must sit still in the place given to you: for should you wander around, you would bring trouble to the mind nnd profanity to the sr/oech of the man at the harijqntal steering gear, In thc li\lic type of bant two men can walk forward and walk aft without disturbing the trim more than a -"^w degrees; but, in the sh,nrtt n'or«> mobile Holland type, this is not practicuble. You must not smoke;-for there is gasoline fumes and "battery gas" aboutyou and a lighted match at the right spot and moment might cause an explosion that would*overcome, by internal pressure, the 350 pounds of external resistance in the stout steel walls of the hull, and you might not live long enough to-be drowned. You cannot enjoy the •scen-'?> • ery of the sea except through a limited periscope; hut you may eat hot meals cooked on electric stoves, aud read fine print under as good electric" light .as you havo on shore. , Should water come ih through a leak or carelessly opened sea-cook, and overcome the 300 pounds reserve buoyancy, you have a means of escape denied to you" in the closed compartment of a surface boat, For instance, the Fulton, whiie . lying at a dock with a force of machinists at work, sank in a few fathoms, and restated on the bottom, while the water coming down the open conning tower hatch, filled her as full as she could be. Now, it is .almost increditable that more than one or two men imprisoned in a sunken surface craft should he able to swim up through a small hatch and reabh the surface alive; but in this case every man leisurely,■> each, waiting his turn, came up. This was possible because of the automatic, air locks included in the structural fittings of the ceiling', in each of which, as the boat sank was an air space into which the water could nol enter , Standing erect on the battery deck, the average man's head would nearly touch the ceiling, and these men by.ducking carefully from 'one air lock to another,, finally", reached the midship section and swam up .through the conning tower hatch. Air valves are fitted in each of such overhead com- ,partm.erits___in_the,Eulton,,soJ^lHatI_lf„a_. man is caught without air enough he can draw from the tanks, force the water down, -and breathe' until he chooses.to move to the next air space. Another means of escape, in case thc boat shoul&sinkjby-i*,— leak,-and the conning tower hatch be held down by the pressure of the sea,. is the more spectacular and theatrical trick of ejecting men through the torpedo tube. While there are no precedents' for this it could ce,done. A man may. crawl in with a cork.jacket—a lifebuoy is ..too large—and when thc inner door is closed, lake a long breath, then the outer door is quickly opened, compressed nir is admitted, and • he is shot out inore or less forcibly, accordintr to the pressure applied j and in case, the ear drums do not suffer, there is nothing to prevent his reaching the surface uninjured; for the human body itself is strong, tough and elastic, able to withstand many atmospheres of pressure.
