It is doubtful if there is anyone thing that will add more to thc interest of farm labor, or mtike its usefulness more apparent in shorter time than ono simple method of figuring.

It may be found after .a year's record that the farm is best dairy knowledge as owning lots of cows that produce only 2,000 or 2,- 500 pounds milk during their best six or seven months. Such cows are no credit to their"owners, and such owners scarcely de credit to the dignified title of dairymen. Canadians should jealously guard against such a condition of affairs being possible.

An cloctrical engineer, Mr. F., is fche central figure of the story. For months ho had been interested in arc lamps, and after much thinking had evolved a new and important scheme for improving them. Thc invention was made in May |ast year. Then a spell of hard Vvork intervened���������������������������so .hard that ho had to put all thoughts of invention aside. The strain began to tell on him, and finally he went to Dr. Joire in the following October suffering "from neurasthenia and in-_ ������������������omnia, and with the pathetic news that ho had lost all memory of his invention. When hc had first thought out the now design he had sketched it roughly on "a piece of cardboard with a stylographic pen. But not only ha-d he lost tho memory of the design, he had mislaid"tho sketch . Ibo; ' LEADS HIM BACK. Time after time, before he went c Dr. Joire, he had tried to sketch s invonuion again, but without Buccoss. Dr. Joiro set to, work to find the Invention-liko a hypnotic Sherlock )_olnies. His first step was to discover what kind of materials Mr. Jf used when he made his rough ^ketches, and then, while the tired- put inventor held the rough cardboard and stylographic' pen in his panda, the hypnotist put him to ^leep and talked to hira. This is what ho said :��������������������������� ,'_.--.' "Now we .will begin. It is yesterday, you have come to ask me to fielp you to recover your lost, design. -Now, last week, passes be-; tore you, from Saturday to Monday, how March has passed by, it ia February���������������������������it ia the middle . of the jnonth���������������������������the beginning,, now we are m January." And-'(says Dr. 'aire) I made him pass to December. November, October, and finally to "Now you will live over again this period of your life with tho greatest accuracy.

The track of the lost invention continued in the following drama- ���������������������������tio^maffhWr^ Joire:��������������������������� All this time Mr. F.'s face expressed profound concentration; ha suddenly took his pen and began a design, paused, seemed to inake montal calculations, then went on adding letters and signs, but after a few attempts he threw |t on tho ground with a look of " great annoyance," and a "second design whicli he began after some reflection was discarded in thc same way. A longer pause followed; then his Jiand wroto slowly and automatically :��������������������������� "U is the poles of tho induction curronts which must be reversed. I must have two successive contacts reversed each time." His expression became calm; he put the sheet gently on one side and took another, on which he began to draw a complicated design without pauso or hesitation; when finished, hc examined it carefully, and said in a low voice: "There I've hit on it at last," ancl at once passed into a state of profound fel-cep. " WAS GREATLY SURPRISED. u When I awoke him in thc custom- cry manner he stared at thc sketch with the. greatest surprise. :''Why, "���������������������������flbab-is my design which I have been /seeking for Bix months 1 Did I do that'? How is it-possible?. It is ^comprehensible !" Hfl| .told mc ihat he remembered distinctly seeing the days, weeks, and months jp ass before his mental vision in reverse order. For instance, in the case of a -���������������������������Journey- to Lille," whkh had taken pkee in A. gust, he first saw his. return, then the journey, then his fay at i"ha e.aside,.'.io*5 so on, in cluding many minuto details which had completely escaped his -memory, such as a cycle on-the railway platform, a .cloak left on a seat, and similar facts which meant nothing to him, but of which ho recognized the truth. It is, however, curious that he remembers nothing of what occurred when he was working at the problem, probably because thc required knowledgo lay in a much deeper stratum of consciousness, arid that, in order to regain it, hc passed into a more profound somnambulism which prohibits any subsequent recollection.

Inventor Claims Great Discovery��������������������������� Farmer Can Hear Paris Opera. Nikola Tcsla startled tho world some years ago by declaring that an invention which was germinating in his brain would, when matured, make naval warfare impossible. By means of somo contrivance the pressure of a button would launch a titanic electrical discharge by which one man on shore could instantly annihilate the greatest Dreadnought that ever sailed the SC33. Since that time thc inventor has been following up a somewhat similar train , of thought, but with a more pacific object in view. The electric waves arc to convey messages, not thunderbolts. -Mr. Tcsla's discovery is a new mode 'of "wireless," which, if his assertions are borne out will .make communi- normal weather conditions. Neither cold nor heat influences it in the- slightest degree." Mr. Tesla's first discovery- of these wonderful properties of the earth as a conductor date from ]&99. He has been steadily experimenting since that date and believes that in addition to sending telephonic messages and pictures and operating devices at a distance, we shall be able to transmit electric power across the oceans. THE PLANT. The inventor's plant at Shore- ham comprises electrical machinery of a complex nature, but constituting a single unit, the object of which is to pump electricity from the earth over a circuit to an elevated surface and back in to the earth again in rapid succession. Mr. Tcsla asserts that thc number of receiving stations which can be operated from the one plant is virtually indefinite. .*_ A NATURAL COMPASS. How the Trees Point thc Way Through the Wilderness.

Distance is no obstacle as with air wireless; any number of receiving stations may re- used, and messages to all parts of tho world-will become absurdly cheap. Not only this, but the investor states that any man in any part of the world will be able by placing to his ear a two dollar receiver, to hear the opera in Paris, Melbourne, Vienna or New York. DIFFERENT TO WIRELESS.' Mr. Tcsla says: "The principles involved in .this system of transmission are the direct opposite to the Hertz wave wireless transmission. In the latter, -the transmission is effected.by. rays akin to light which.pass through the air and cannot, be transmitted through thc ground. In the former the Hertz waves are practically suppressed and thc entire energy of the.current ia transmitted through tho ground, exactly as through a 5 ig wire. In my experiments in Colorado it was shown that a very powerful, current developed by the transmitter traversed thc entire would find his way out was asked by a hunter not long ago how he did it. '"Is it true," said the man, "that you can find your way back to camp every time and in the straightest line possible?"

"How do you do it.?" "Well,, sometimes I know pretty well where I am���������������������������I mean, in'a general way���������������������������and I feel the direction of the camp or whatever place it is I want to 'reach. You know that is an entirely different proposition from merely getting out of a forest or a section of country.

"But that is a different matter from taking an objective point, even TIIE LAKE OF THE SUN. Curious Spot on Mars as Large as France. M. Camille Flammarion, the eminent scientist, contradicts the allegiation that life on Mars has been ended by a terrible cataclysm. "During the last three months," writ s M. Flammarion, "the planet' has been within great proximity o( thc earth, and has afforded an ex* cellent opportunity for observa* tion. "What has principally struck uf is thc constant and swift variation of tho surface aspect. These changes cannot as yet bo accounted for, but they are not of the nature o! cataclysms, for they are neither brusque nor sudden. "The dislocation of the poles, which appears to cause so much anxiety, is an annual occurrence. "Certain features of Mars aro quitj^enigmatic; for instance, the changes in _. the Martian country, known by aerographs , under the-, name of the Lake of the Sun. *-*3( is a, spot, round or oval, and about the size of France. . , "Sometimes this spot appears quite round, sometimes oblong,.

"The earth acts exactly like a wire in -this transmission, but with this distinction that it is a conductor far. more perfect than any that could ever be manufactured by man on account of its enormous size and If a man of 70 years was starving it would probably be little comfort to him to think that he had consumed in the course of his life fifty- three and three-quarter tons of solid food and forty-two and three- quarter tons of liquid, or about 1,- 280 times his own weight in both solids and liquids, but ifc would bo true.- ��������������������������� --- - - --- -- ------ - -- Being a man of average appetite and purse hc would have eaten fifteen tons of bread, which would havo made a single loaf containing 1,200 cubic feet and appcai-jng about as large as thc average suburban home, and on this bread hc would have spread one ton of butter.

Threo pints of liquid a day would have amounted to TG,600 pints,..or forty-two and three-quarter tons, if he had been a smoker, he .would have burned about half a ton of tobacco, in a pipe or if he preferred cigarettes would have smoked about a quarter of a million. Don't worry about giving his Satanic majesty his due; he'll get it. isolation in_ space." EARTH IS PERMEATED. In regard to directing thc cur- -rent-to-any=particular===place,=Mr.^ Tcsla gave the following illustration. "Imagine thc earth to be a large bag of rubber filled with incompressible fluid, as water, and. that by means of a piston inserted at a certain point, the fluid is forced in and out of the rubber bag. The result will be rhythmical vibrations of thc whole bag. It is evident that if another piston be placed anywhere, these pulsatioiis will be transmitted to that. "Now there is a way of releasing a distant piston through a safety lock or combination, so that only tho piston will operate at thc distance which is released by thc particular combination like that of a safe. TROVE IT CIRCLED GLOBE. Mr. Tcsla stated his proofs to ������������������bow that the electric tremors sent out from his apparatus did actually circle thc globe and return to its origin. "One of these proofs is visual observation," he stated. "In a powerful transmitter it can be perfectly perceived that the electrical effects increase in intensity after tho lapse of a second, when the reflected wave train arrives from the antipodes. Another evidence is obtained by careful measurements of electric quantities as potential ancl density. Still another proof is found in the time which elapses, which corresponds almost exactly with that calculated. KNOWS NO OBSTACLES. "The new mode of despatch knows no obstructions.

The corner of the tin, where the opening to admit the oil was situated, was in the shape of a cube four inches square and the other part of the tin was used as a receptacle for contraband, thc-bot- oom of thc tin sliding out.

Directors :���������������������������J. Graham, C. A. Nlolsen. Secretary .~C. G. Bel!" This Company now offers the remaining 50,00 shaves of their Capital Stock to the public on tli. same terms as tho first issue, viz., price 50c. per share, payable 20c. on application, 20c. on May 1st, .010, and 20c. on August 1st, 1910. Our first issue was for the purpose of obtaining money to erect three grain elevators of about 30,000 bushels capacity, each at the following places: Bow Island, V/innifred, and Seven Persons. The shares were all subscribed for within 11 days of thc issue, of the prospectus. The issue of the remaining 50,000 shares is for thc purpose of obtaining money to erect two additional elevators, one at B ur- defcfc and one at Chiu, Lbi.3 giving us a chain of elevators nt town3 for a distance of 80 miles along the Canadian Pacific Hallway, to which is tributary OVER THREE MILLION ACHES OP THE FINEST WHEAT LAND IN THE--WORLD, and to erect a mill of about 100 barrels capacity per day at Bow Island. We havo selected Bow Island as the most suitable place to erect our mill for two reasons: First. NATURAL GAS has been discovered near the place in enormous quantities. One well is the second largest in thc world and has a flow sufficient to produce 35,000 horse power constantly. Wo have arranged to secure a supply sufficient to produce 100 liorso power for 51.05 per day of 10 hours. Consider this for a moment. Compare this with mills at Lethbridgo and other places whero fuel costs from $18.00 to $20.00 per 100 horse power per day-it means a clear SAVING TO THE SHAREHOLDERS of at least $17.00 PER DAY. Another reason for selecting Bow Island is that it is in the centre of our chain of elevators and is the largest grain producing centre between Tabcr and Medicine Hat���������������������������by building the mill joining our elevator we will be able to handle the grain into the mill in tho most economical manner. ESTIMATED PROFITS - . To those who are not familiar with the Elevator and Milling business, let us give a few conservative figures: A. 30,000 bushel elevator will easily handle 150,000 bushels of grain during a season. The usual charge for handling the grain and loading into cars, including storage for 15 days is 2 cents per bushel, which will produce a revenue of $3,000 for each elevator, or $15,000 for. the five. The oharge for elevator storage is three-fourths of a cent per bushel per month and as many farmers hold their grain until the following Spring the elevators are always full all Winter. Figuring three months' storage, that will produce a further revenue of at leasfc $3,000, whicli brings the total earnings to $18,000. The annual operating expenses cannot by any possible combination of circumstances exceed $4,750.00 for the five elevators, leaving U3 a net balanc'o of $13,750.00. Our mill, with a capacity of 100 barrels pe_ day and with flour selling at from $2.50 to $3.25 per hundred, and middlings at 75 cents per hundred, will, with wheat selling at 80 cents per bushel, give us a revenue of $03.00 per day; from which deduct $19.- 00 per day for operating expenses and we have a net income of $44.00 per day, or over $14,000 per year. Our total net earnings will enable us, after setting, aside a sum for sinking fund, to pay a 25 per cent, dividend on the capital. _Wc will always be able.to. keep our mill running-at its full capacity; the mills in Lethbridgo are running day and night full capacity and are behind with their orders. Don't forget that we h_.e NO COMPETITION. There is not an elevator or a mill in tho territory we are operating in, and with the majority of the fanners giving ns their support through being shareholders our unqualified success is assured. With elevators and mills earning such'enormous dividends, is it any wonder that shares in companies only two years old, for which 75c. was paid at formation, aro now soiling for $1.50? Elevator and milling shares aro as safe as a bank and pay much greater returns. REMEMBER wo have been given FREE SITES at every placo whore wc aro erecting. Thcso sites aro valuable now and a few years hence will be a considerable asset. Thc town of Bow Island has exempted us from taxation for a period of five years. _ You uoed have no hesitation in investing your money in this enterprise, as the Directors aro landowners here, and are large shareholders, they are determined to manage the Company in a most economical and businesslike manner.

Love needs no interpreter. Evcry blessing makes you a debtor. Affection is np." .v guilty of affectation. Heaven ranks by service and not by salary. A lust is an appetite in the seat of the will. Our principles are simply our habits of thinking. You cannot hide your vices under advertisements of your virtues. Little individual kindnesses make the way for thc universal love.? Thc people who raise thc row in a church seldom raise the revenue. It18 only when our virtues aro lonesome that they feel-like boasting. Training a child in ,orderliness may be training a man in righteousness. If there were enough peace keepers the peace makers would not be needed. We are ready to forgive in our friends the offenses that have not hurt our corns. He who saves all his kindness for the good comes to believe there are none worthy of it. This is a dark world to those in whom, selfishness has turned the eyes permanently" inward. It takes more than chemistry of soils to grow a crop and more than tbelogy to grow a character. When a man thinks that his reason has the reins on his passions he is often mistaking the tugs for the lines.'

Of Mr. Meikle the Winnipeg Free Press says: "Mr. Meikle is unquestionably the best baritone in the West, and we have seldom heard his equal as an exponent of the martial songs of Scotland." The very highest praise is said of the other members of the company, and we can assure all that this is the best concert company the C. P. Walker syndicate has put on the Lyceum circuit. They will be the C. P. R. which is known to have _had an option on them for sometime, but the rival road has apparently ; outwitted Sir Thomas Shaughnessy !and his associates. The price is re- | ported to be $11,000,000. It is stated that the new owners contemplate , the erection of a great iron and steel ,' plant on Vancouver Island. i u - DOES IT PAY ?
