TTTT'^t^. nn.AVn FOTUCS; TlTUTISH COLUMBIA.- Only Kidness Needed to Attract These Birds to Suitable Situations That wild geese are shrewd enough to Know friend from foe, and Lliat.^if you "throw :i handful of feed at'them instead of a thimbleful of shot," they will Jose their fear of man and make rlieir home within it stone's throw of human habitations, has been clearly demonstrated by the experiments of Mr. John T. Miner, of Kingsvillc, Essex county, Ontario. The history of the growth of this flock furnisher; an interesting example of what can be done to tame Wild birds. Jn 190' Mr. Miner obtained seven wild geese, clipped their wings, and placed them on his pond as decoys, but wild geese were so scarce th.it it was four years before any others joined them. In the spring of 1908 eleven came, the folio wingxyear 32, and in 1910 as many as 350. Since that time they have been too numerous to give any exact estimate, but probably about 1,000 may be found .ou the premises at a time Since 1911 no {.���������hooting whatever has been indulged in within the reserve. By moving the l'<-ed by degrees the geese have been coaxed to come right up to the house. Wild ducks also frequent the pond, nnd some of 0 ese have been identified by aluminum bands, bearing Mr. Aimer's address- By means of these lie lias established the fact that they return to his place every spring, or, if they fail to return, he has been able to learn why,', has happened to them. One was shot as far away as Paris, Kentucky. Ihosc that return nest in the neighborhood and bring up their young before pgain migrating. Mr. Miner'p experiments are a stiiking illustration of how easy it would be "to conserve the migrating bird life of this continent if only refuges were provided, where the birds could : emain for a short time unmolested, during their seasonal Mights to their breeding grounds and back again. a������.

Thus a salesman is pretty sure to market his products, to advantage; a piofessional man brings excellent judgment to.his new work; a tradesman possesses trained ability which works in handily in his new -enterprise. If a man has made a success of something else, .the likelihood of him succeeding at farming is increased. Thus it was with Mr. R. A. Alexander of Aldergrovo, B.C., who was' formerly a machine disigner by profession. Alexander in his new sphere at once found many ways of turning his expert knowledge to account. On most farms the workshop contains simply a bench, a vice, and various hand tools. Alexander installed a comparatively complete machine shop, equipped with anvil, forge, drilling machine, handsaw and steel, iron and woodworking tools. This' machine shop lias proved of invaluable assistance in conducting the farm. One of Alexander's most ambitious undertakings is now ne&r- ing completion. It is a farm steam engine, with a nominal capacity of two horsepower, but which actuaMy will develop five or six. Mounttd oh trucks it is easily transported from one- part of the farm to another, attending to such operations as woodcutting and feed-grinding. Alexander has not permitted his inclination toward mechanics to keep him away from primary farm work He has had splendid success in daiiy- ingf, handling grade Jerseys exclusively. His field crops have been uniformly successful and his potatoes are always among the best in the district. The lattei he takes particular pride in, declaring that Aldergrove is adapted to spuds as few districts on the American continent are.���������J. T.

The Word "Obey" in Marriage Service Queen Victoria, when asked whether she would cay "obey," in the marriage service, answered in the affirmative. She was being married "not as a qujon, but as a woman," which was strictly truo as she conferred no rank upon her husband by marriage. Today the.-e is much discussion over this one word in the service of matrimony. There are even said to be some clergymen who quietly omit it, sometimes at the instance of the bride, but generally from a sense that it is not quite fair. ! To quote St. Paul, the wife, who is to be subject to her husband iu everything has fcr husband one who loves his wife even as Christ also loved the chinch, and gave himself up for it. If the husband promised to do that, there would be no injustice in the wire promising to obey. But the marrirge service is a contract- In the Ronan order of marriage the man and the woman say precisely th������ same words. In the Anglican service, wheie tho man says, to love and to chedsh," the' woman says, "to love, cherish and to obey." The question arises, who inserted the word "obe>'-' in the marriage service? Where did ir. come from? ' A certain scholar has been set apart to make this inquiry, and up to date he. has got, so far as the Thirteenth Century, but has found no mention o~ obey in an> church order.

A Pre-Rcman Wall The Roman wall had a curious, but little known, p.-edecessor.

The Romans w'ere again sent for, and though they 'told the Britons plainly that it- was not for their ease or leisiue to take upon them any more such-long and laborious jour- r'eys for their defence," they built for them a Avail of hard stone, "the Britons putting to their helping hands as laborers." - .

U. 1012 German Emperor Patron of Nurses The versatility of the German emperor., has often been remarked, but not the least interesting phase, of his activities is the personal intereat which he takes In music- This is the more surprising the ��������� Morning Post (London) says> for the strenuous life of the modern monarch leaves but little for the cultivation 9f individual tastes. King David, Nero, and King Ludwig of Bavaria were artists. Henry VIII. loved music-makings, and played upon the recorder. Queen Elizabeth encouraged the study - of music among her people, and was herself an adept of the concerd of sweet sounds," and Frederick the Great sought solace from the aaffirs of state by gathering musicians around him, playing upon the flute, and writiug military marches and other pieces. Frederick, indeed, stands out as the monarch of the past who did most to foster a love of the art. Pie took an active part in the musical life cf his people, and exerted a personal influence upon the operatic performances of his day. His name, in this connection, is inseparable from that of Bach. The present emperor has done much to maiutain that enthusiasm for good music which has for so long characterized his people. It is strange to think of the mar. whom Europe calls a war lord exhibiting such, zealous interest in the arts of peace. In his self-appointed role of protector of all..those influences which make the world mere cultured the emperor reminds lis of the pictures of j.ncieut warriors with sword and harp- ���������.. A.

Genuine must bear Signature Earonet, But Never Used His Titla A curious fact has developed from the news of the death a few days ago of a quaint old gentleman known as Samuel Peel of Middlesex, Eng. It transpires that he was legally, a baronet, by right of succession to his brother, Sir Samuel Peel, Bait., who died a few years ago. / Sir Samuel, who left a fortune of 3(150,000, aud dit-d childless, was the tiead of the flixi of Peel Bros. &-.C0., worsted manufacturers, of Bradford, Yorkshire, and one of tlie "Jubilee" Baronets. Mr. Samuel Peel's title to' the Baronetcy was probably only definitely known to a comparatively few including the vicar and the stationmaster. -The old gentleman lived in a semidetached house, with a garden, to which.ho was passionately devoted. . He had a' gardener, an old man, who lias memories of a kindly old master, who was, "however, hard to please; over his beloved garden. He combined wich his affection for his garden a last-* for theological study. He never returned the greelings'of :wo young men neVt door who wished him "good morning" on seeing him in his; garden. Nevertheless every Christmas he would'invite them into his house to tea. Anyone who called to see him, which was seldom, would be made welcome, but he would not talk about himself. ^ ���������' , "' Once a week until his health' began to fail he would go .to London, presumably on business, and then he would talk to' the station-master, who occasionally visited him at his house. On'���������:*. tradesman's account he would demand or return a farthing as it was due to.,"cr from-him. Gossips had' it that-there was a romantic episode connected with his life, which had turn ad' out unhappily. He was very fond of .cats, and kept no less than seven.' It is said that-his conversation was most interesting, and he was a highly-educated man. Ho was' generous to a degree, ;*.nd gave freely to charities, and"also was generous to' children. ��������� TJie Highest Tunnef Ever since the discovery of South America the great Andean chain of mountains, wh!2h runs from ond to ���������end of the continent, has formed a formidable barrier to intercourse between the Rations inhabiting it. Indeed, it has actually been simpler for people living in tho Argentine to make long sea voyr.ges in order to reach their neighbors in Chile rather than attempt to cross the natural frontier dividing them. But the proud Andes have now been subdued by ihe burrowing through of a tunnel, Lhe loftiest (of any considerable length) in the world- This is to be found ou the Transandine Railway, which runs .from Buenos Ayres on the Atlantic.to [Valparaiso, on the Pacific, a distance of 88SS miles." In ascending the Andes the track follows more or less closely the old Andean trail till it reaches the foot of the Cumbre Pass. He-e, at an altitude of 10,500 feet above the sea level, the yummit of the mighty range of mountains is pierced by a tunnel just over two miles in length. It was at once a difficult and arduous ' feat, necessitating the toil of an army of brave men for several yeu'-s J iii a region of eternal snow and frightful blizzards. Indeed, this tunnel in the Ancles lies 1,500 feet higher than the highest carriage road in Europe ������������������that over the Stlevio Pass���������and more than 3,500 feet higher than the Mount Cenis, St. Gothard and Simplon Passes. With the opening of the Panama Canal thc commercial importance of this tunnel can hardly be exaggerated.

Anaemia Unless Checked Passes Into Hopeless Decline Anaemia is like a spectre that steals on you unawares and drives all happiness out of existence. It is a thief that robs you of your life and energy. Thousands of women iu this country are the victims of anaemia (that is, bloodlessuess), '-which spares neither rich nor poor, young or old. It robs woman of her health, her vitality, her beauty���������of everything that gives a woman her charm. The chief symptoms "'of ��������� this trouble include a distaste-for food, prostrating headaches, extreme langour, loss of weight, nervousness, pale cheeks, lips and gums, heart palpitations, dizziness and a constant feeling of wretchedness. The only way to effect a cure is to increase the blood supply���������to make it pure, rich and red. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have saved thousands of young girls and women from the early' fate that threatened them through anaemia's ravages, for these pills enrich the blood, stimulate the circulation, nourish the nerves, and restore the energy and perfect health that makfe women attractive. If you are a victim of bloodlessness in any way, do not let it run Into a hopeless decline, but begin the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills today- The following bit of evidence proves the worth of (his medicine. Mrs. Maurice Sims, Liverpool, - N-S.',' says: "Dr. Williams' Pink- Pills -have been a blessing to me. About two years ago I was so badly run' down that I had to give up all work andgc to bed. My husband ;������iid , pareh'.s'Were much worried about ...me i as they thougvti: I was going into consumption. The doctor who was attending me changed his medicine several times, but it;did..me no good and I began to feel very much discouraged myself. One day. a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to do so. In a few Weeks I felt much better and I continued taking the pills for a couple of months until I was again iu perfect health- I believe that if I had not taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would not have survived, and I shall always be very grateful for what they have done for me."

When the wind blows over the sea it forms waves that follow on in tlie direction of the wind. Tho water in the waves themselves moves really up and down anj down and backwards and forwards with a very slight ino*'e- ment in a forward direction. The stronger the wind that makes U19 waves, the higher will the crest on the waves be, the deeper thc hollows between them, the greater their iength and the faster will they move forward. The crest is formed by the action of.the wind on the mass of tne' wave wlie*\ tha wave ceases to move forward. The movement or the wave is quite.apart from the movement of the whole mass of water, as w;e may see on the surface of a river when tno wind is blowing against the direction of the stream. In that case the wind will .form waves in its own direction. The same thing may be noticed at the mouth of a harbor, if the wind is blowing on to the shore while th������ tide is going out.

The coroner and Capt. Forrester visited the scene of .the tragedy ,that evening, and the latter, along with VWCrawford, C.P.R. track watchman at that point, Conductor Jackson, Engineer Brock and Fireman MoLean gave evidence at the inquest. The deceased was employed as a watchman about three years ago at the mill at Goat river crossing and was acquainted with Crawford. It is surmised Reid had gone out on the platform of the rear car to wave a farewell to Crawford, whose shack is at Mile 50, and/sbprtly after passing that point was jolted off the train. j "Beyond being badly stunned and shaken up internally he was apparently, not much the worse for bis fall, for Crawford gave evidence that he saw a man (who turned out to be Reid) passing along the track while be was busy in his shack at the time, somewhat dusty in aspect but making good headway and walking westward. At about Mile 60 his dazed condition,; the heat and the exertion proved too much for Reid and he sank down with his head on the rail in a down grade curve on the line, where it was impossible for either the engineer or the fireman to see him until within fifty feet of tbe unfortunate, with the result that his head was severed from his body, death being instuntancoua. Had the.train been five minutes later , in -coming Jalong the" fatality would have been avoided,- asWatch man Crawford on his afternoon trip of inspection had almost-reached the fatal curve when he had to. get off. the track to let the train pass.

Leadiug merchants in the Maritime Provinces feel that with the possibilities possessed by such a widespread territory, the groat problems to- bo met arc those of adequate- transportation and markets. It is pointed out, say3 a Halifax message, that the United Slates, with its already enormous and :apidly .increasing population, must ultimately become the largest purchaser of Canadian products. The fact is not lost sight of, however, of the opportunities offered by the now fast developing South American Republics, which are .liso bound to become patrons of Canadian food products.

In reality it is no test at all,.but, in cases where the prospective buyer.does not understand that the so-called "test" is ��������� a fake, pure and simple, the salesman is sometimes able to make him believe it shows conclusively that the so-called baking powder he is selling, and which of course contains egg albumen, is superior to other brands which do not contain this ingredient. Bulletin No. 21, issued by Dairy and Food Bureau of the State of Utah, reads as follows:��������� "The sale in thc State of Utah of baking powders containing minute quantities of dried egg' (albumen) - is declared illegal. The albumen in these baking powders does not actually increase the leavening power of thc powder, but by a scries of unfair and deceptive tests such powders arc made to appear to the innocent consumer to possess tiirce or four limes their actual leavening power."

BRITISH COLUMBIA ILLID CANAL SATIOMAL TAS A GIGANTIC PROJECT , UNDER WAY THAT \"j NATIONAL IN SIGNIFICANCE ; Canada is Spending Fifty Million Dollars to' Improve Transportation Facilities���To , Carry Trade From East and West- Today Canada is making geography, not of the ephemeral sort, thai pusses away in a generation, but of that permanent" and substantial character that 1 will endure tor a century and beyond. Right in the heart of this North American continent���almost at the doors of Toronto���Canada is engaged upon a project magnificent in its conception. ' revolutionary in its effect, national ��n / its significance. It is this that Canada is. about in the building of the new \V,elland Ship Canal. - The*>nppell��Uon, Welland Canal, is - pei haps throe-quarters of a century old. Tho old folks talked of it, every school child learns of it as part of the daily curriculum. But, with all this, how many know that right at the-threshold of Toronto is geography- In the making? A nation'is conveig- ingits wealth, its brains, its muscle, to overcome the natural obstacle to navigation' presented in the Niagara cataract���or 'better to improve the facilities of the exist'ng gap; to .'n- sure that the trade of Canada will floAV east and \ve.:t, and that Canada herself shall boeome one of the carrier-nations ol' the world. These are some of the problems involved in -the proposal to build a new "Weland Shi? Canal and it is to their soluLion that the gigantic project is now under way- lt is no idle boast to speak of i.he construction of the' new canal across the Niagara Peninsula as one of the world's gvcatcr.L engineering tasks Indeed, the csi.ima.cd expenditure of $50,000,000 would be sufficient to warrant that olaim. But in these days of groat engineering construction the new We.-iland Canal will rival ir. its challenge to science the connecting waterway at Panama, where two ocea.is arc joined, and in its com- n.ei'cial effioncy to the prototype of all big canals, at Suez. There is i romance in the historj of what may be called the Welland "Canals, and there is the - charm of fiction in the story.of the .conception, design and now the construction, of the greater Welland. For its realization men have striven in the glare of the nooday and tho quiet of the night, in the halls of parliament and in thc secluded purlieus of the council chambc. It is a ma'i i: work; it .is a work for many men;, it is a worthy task for a nation. The met..'., who ..build those canals don't figure in digits. Th'-y compound inciousr.uds. The faith is ��� given to them to remove mountains They pick up a railway here and deposit it bodily over there. They compute quantities an.: distances as if the smallest thing to do was to lift a great steamship with ten thousand tons of cargo over a 300-foot hill, and place it on an ev?n keel 25 miles , away..' ��� -/ : -, It is worthy to.note that the directing genius-of the new Welland Canal ' is a pure Canaclian product. Mr. John Laing Weller '.i> engineer in charge of survey, design and construction. He is one cf the increasing .number of graduates who now encircle the globe in one branch of the imperial service or another wh) have brought great and lasting credit to their alma mater ���the Royal Military- College at Kingston. Mr. Weller was -born at Co- bourg on February 13, 1862. At the age of twenty-one he was assistant engineer on the Trent Canal; from. 1888 to 1900 he; was connected with the St.. Lawrence Canal system; and from 1900 to 1912 superintendent of the Welland Canal. When the serious break occurred in the Cornwall Canal in 1908, Mr. Weller was called ' from St. Catharines to take charge of the work. - The first shovel started to work on October 3, 1913. and the specifications provide for the.completion of all contracts in time for the openin-.j of the ��� canal in 1918. Fifty million dollars is, ��� rough'y speaking, Mr. Weller's estimate of the cost of. completing the canal. The prices so far obtained from the contractors place the cost considerably below his estimate, and one ambition thc engineer lias is that the whole ��� undertaking may be completed and handed over to the government within the original estimate. All the work is being done by contract, except the building of the lock gates, which are provided by the department to insure uniformity of qual ily and a lower'price, in view of Ihe number required. Guard iocks will be put in at Fort Weller and Port Col- borne.' Care has been taken to provide ample safety factors to make the canal secure against emergencies. Mr. Weller's experience with canals has enabled him to introduce into his design many improvements that will facilitate the ease of operation. The locks, are all of the same fcize, and the .parts are interchangeable. In the multitude of detail today lie has a vision of the completed canal, with the products of the prairies meeting the imports from the old land; eastern Canada grasping through its long stretches the hand of the west in one great national purpose.���Toronto Globe.

On two occasions he had been sent to Russia by boat but as he was unable to speak the language the authorities declined to allow, him to land. The first time he was sent back here and he had now-returned to see Hi wife and children and to take tbtem away. It was difficult to know what would happen .to- him in the circumstances "and he might permanently become a passengev on liners travelling between the different countries. The unwanted Willis was said to have been twice rejected by the United States authorities and if the Russians refuse to have him back he seems destined for a life on the rolling deep unless he obligingly seeks a watery grave.' ENEFIGWL EFFECTS OF FOREST RESERVES THE FUNCTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT FOREST RESERVES IS OUTLINED MILITIA PRAISED BY BROOKE SOULS VS- ALGEBRA Dr. of Francis Denounces Majority Teacners as Ignorant Denunciation of the present school system uttered by Dr. J. Ii. Francis, superintendent of schools, Los Angeles, Cal... caused a stir among delegates present at a session of the. National Education association held at St. Paul. "God .bless the girl who refuses to study algebra, a study which causes many girls to lose their souls," was one^of Dr. Francis' statements. ��� "The average literature teacher has nb soul and little brain," he continued- 'It is a wicked waste of a child's life to compel him to study with her. "Most of cur teachers are selfish egotists, would-be scholars, hiding behind the word 'conservatism,' afraid of any new method because it would show her ignorance. "Progress, too, is blocked by the great civic religious and political interests. "I would rather send my child to a teacher with a soul than one with brains whose only object is'to have the child reach the answer in the back of the book. ' , "Nine-tenths of 'our immorality*is due to damage done by teachers to boys and girls before they reach high schools." Kamloops, B.C , Opens Public Market The city of Kamloops, B.C., has opened a public market. On the opening daj; a goodly crowd of citizens were present early in the morning, ready to receive "the vendors. But the -farmers showed less earnestness than the citizens; the earliest vehicle was half an. Lour late, and only 16 more appeared in the course of the day. The market conditions were such that the demand largely exceeded the supply and the small amount of produce offered was readily disposed of. This success should encourage more of the surrounding farmers to take advantage of the market- White farmers will not compete with the Chiuese in peddling their produce from door to door, but might reasonably be expected to meet their customers , at a central market. Kamloops is to be congratulated on its efforts to bring customers and producers into ���; direct, contact-with one another, and this praiseworthy effort should meet with the success it deserves.. KAISER FOR POPULAR SPORT Wants to See the Masses Uplifted by Athletics The Emperor of Germany, who has shown a warm appreciation of all kinds oi' sport, believes that the object should be :. physical upbuilding of the masses rather than an effort to set new records. In a speech at the dinner at the Bruns-Buttel-Koog, following the Lower Elbe regatta, the monarch said that he saw with joy the earnest accomplishments of the nation in sport, and continued: "I desire to direct attention to a matter as to which I believe our nation is on the right track This iss an endeavor to confer the chief benefits .of sport upon ihe whole people, to bring the masses up to a high plane, and not to sort out individual, first-class performances from the dead level, which remains generally lower." The Rem-dy For the Many Evils Following Jeforestatlon Is the Carrying Out of a Policy of Conservation Under Government Control. A perpetual timber supply, resulting from systematic methods of cutting- is commonly, and correctly, supposed to be tho chief purpose of making forest reserves. Another purpose, scarcely, if at ail inferior, is that of regulating theI i*urich! from th water-sheds of rivers, on which, on account of the fact that tlie land is un-suitod for farming, through its being. too poor In quality or too rocky, or being at too high a level and so. exposed to frosts, trees form the most profitable crop. Forests maintained for this latter purpose are called 'protection forests.' Possibly the best example of such a forest, and certainly the largest protection forest in the world, is the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve in' Alberta, which now has an area of 20,- 896 square miios. Fortunately the Dominion government early recognized the value of such , protection forests, and, by tne creation of forest reserves in the west, the great rivers of the plains having, their source in these watersheds were saved from the disastrous floods, the iOW-watei- stages, and the filling-up of the river-beds "with eroded soil, so characteristic of the rivers originating in the denuded water-sheds of the eastern United States. In this latter region many, areas in the Appalachian mountains, which cover a large part of Pennsylvania, Virginia, the Carolinas and other States were van severely cut, and have been repeatedly swept by lire, so that the forests have been entirely destroyed. When rain falls on such an.area. tlie wuter runs off almost immediately; if. on the other hand, the area were covered with7 forest, the soil would he more spongy and able to retain water, and the water would be hindered in running off by the tree- roots and the debris on the ground. Moreove.-, the water,'in its rapid runoff, gradually takes with it the soil,' and where the soil covering the'-rocks is thin, it is apt to be washed -away entirely. Hense there is lost'any possibility of growing a new forest on the new bare rock. Tne sbi�� carried away eventually found'.its way to the larger rivers and .harbours;'and did actual harm by, silting these up. -The increased Irregularity, of flow in the streams���excessively, .-full in spring and as scanty in midsummer���greatly lessened the value-pf .'the water-power situated on them., Accordingly an agitation'sprang tip to take.steps to re- afforest such areas as !above referred to; and aftor abme years the Weeks Bill was finally passed in 1911, setting aside .Hl.POO.OOO for the purpose of conserving tlu navigability of, navag- able streams, by buying up'(and ultimately re-afforesting thV- 'denuded areas on imro.'tant water-sheds.-/ At present over five and a half million acres ih\ tha Apalachians have vbeen purchased or approved for purchase. The right of the federal government to expropriate suchJands by purchase hinged on the power of promoting navigation, given by the constitution. In Canada the Dominon govern- met was also &ven the regulation of navigation by the British North America Act of,1SG7, and it has been suggested that, in those parts of eastern Canada where- waste water-sheds'5 clearly exert a detrimental influence on the navigability of rivers, the Dominion government should co-operate with the provincial governments in there establishing and conserving forest growth. Such a water-shed is that of the. Trent river, where, according to a report lately issued by the sconimis- sion of conservation, as the result of. repeated fires, about 150,000 acres are practically desert land. The Trent valley canal wbich Rasses through this region, has -already cost the Dominion government upwards of $10,000,- 000, and, as above report points out, the re-eslablishment of a forest cover] on the deunded water-shed for the conservation of water-supplies is one of paramount importance to the canal.- The remedy for thc many evils following deforestation as pointed, out in this report if the carrying out of a policy of conservation under Dominion, provincial or municipal control. Says Canadian Soldiers Can Readily Adapt Themselves to Conditions , "The minister of militia should be well satisfied with the manoeuvres this year, for they have.been productive of many- Interesting lessons," declared Lord Brooke in an interview. He commanded the Petewawa camp and afterwards inspected the Maritime camps. ���"The /Canadina soldier," added Brooke, "leads a more strenuous life and'therefore can adapt 'himself more quickly to the conditions of military service than tlie European. I was most favorably impressed with the spirit of the troops and the genuine hard work done during the time they were in training. ' ''The mobilization of- thirteen thousand men at Petewawa in so short a time could not have been possible except for the complete harmony existing between the railways and the mobilization staff. Col. Hughes is doing his best by means- of cadet movements, drill halls and personal influence to keep in close touch with the needs of the militia,- and thus building up an efficient force. "The system of interchange of imeprial officers inaugurated by Col. Hughes has proved most useful in bringing about an exchange of ideas and a co-operation that must result beneficially to the empire as a whole. The presence or H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught and Sir Robert Borden at Petewawa- did much to stimulate the interest of the' troops in their work." S| iv/ WIRELESS SIGNAL -SENT HUM TH DETAILED EXPERIMENTS ON THE LACKAWANNA RAILROAD HAVE PROVEN SUCCESSFUL FROM BARN DOORS OF FARMERS Alleged Auto Delivery Scheme For Prairies by C.P.R. The C.P.R. is repoited to be arranging for the adoption on a large scale of a system of supplementary transportation by motor wagons in tho prairie provinces which will practically bring tho railway to the barn doors of every farmer in its territory. Every freight station will be made a depot for a "fleot of motor wagons, of a type speci Hy Revised for this service, the nu'.'.iber varying according to'the .size an:1 importance of the district served. It is expected that im'" portant stations will have from 12 to a score' of thocie cars in service. The cars, which, owing to the nature of the prairie-territory, will not have to negotiate any r.eavy gradesvara designed to carry about one-sixth of a railway-.carload of merchandise and are particularly .-.dap.ted for the trau&- port-bf grain- The chief importance will,- of course be in connection with the moving of graii-. harvested in autumn but the belief of the authorities is that stiff icier-1 service can be made of cars for Jclivsring supplies to farmers and so assisting in the establishing of homesteaders on their .land pp IWirelesi Service For Operating Trains Is Now no Longer an Experiment��� Communicating With Moving Train Will Prevent Wrecks. Since the 'first wireless telegraph message from a moving train" to a fixed station was flashed from the fast Lackawanna Limited to Scrautou.'Pa., the improvement of the wireless service between trains and stations for commercial.-.a!)*-!-, operating purposes has been steadily going on- L. B.' Foley, the Dackawauna's superintend- er.-l of telegraph, who originated the idea of the train "wireless system and has been' in charge of the tests, ia making satisfactory experiments in fields hardly thought of when,the new vse of wireless was first conceived The latest accomplishment is the setting of signals by wireless from a moving train or from a'fixed wireless station.' Foley says [hat there is no longer any doubt that the -wireless can be depended on for this signal service.- If aa operator at a station, he says, wants to set a signal for a moving train not in communication with him he can cause the semaphore blade of the signal post to rise or fall ac he wishes by simply'sounding the proper dots and dashes on his key. "Signals can be sent by wireless," said Foley, "as easily and as surely aa they are now sent by electricity conducted by wires. We have'a selective device by which an operator can get a signal at any point if he has occasion to Hag a train. "This means that if any mistakes are made in the orders issued to engineers and conductors, at stationsbr in the case of an emergency in which a train must be stopped to avert an accident the station operator can signal the train as certainly as if he had direct wire communication with some cne on board. "Another valuable use to which the wireless controlled signals can be put," said Foley, "is the handling of freight trains on long runs. At present a through freight must make many- stops between its starting point and ' destination, so that orders and % Instructions concerning right of way can be deli/ered to the conductors, but these frequent stops are a source of. expense: and delay which will bo abolished by the wireless telegraph. "Keeping trains in motion for long distances without stops will result in great economy of operation," said Foley. . "Railroad operating officials know how expensive it Is to start and .���0 ��� ..���..*...,..-���^.o uu limn vi;ui-i he i stop beaw freight trains, the. add! to justify keeping'them in service all .Winnai nnc*- ~f f..-.! *.-i��- "���--"-��� �� the year round Otherwise it is evident that the *n.'estment would hardly be' justified.

The Royal Crown Soap Works, Limited, said to be controlled by Lever Brothers, proposes to spend $250,000 on a new soap n-aking plant on Bur- rard Inlet In Bnrnaby, a distance cf nbout live ncilcs frcm Vancouver. Royal Commission Proposals Accepted by Department of Justice Reforms in the administration of the /Kingston penitentiary suggested by"; the commission which made an extensive investigation into the subject are beng put into effect by the department'of justice. Any system inaugurated 'with Kingston will, of course,/be-'applied to the other penal j institutions. ' -Convicts at Kingston who used to have on Sundays their last meal of the day in the r��arly afternoon are to have an evening meal. While knives are not to be allowed, a new kind of spoon and fork will7 be furnished. The system of. tubbing and hosirg is to be abolished or be very sparingly resovted to, and in addition to the resident physician a visiting physician is likely to be engaged for the different institutions. There have also ber-n a number of changes in the staff at Kingston. ' The commission suggest more outside work for (he convicts, such as farm labor and particularly recommends that the manufacturing operations be extended so as to include manufacture of things such as furniture, etc., required in government departments. This is recognized as a large question- which would require very careful consideration before being made effective. ABSINTHE NOW USED MORE Switzerland Produces More of Drink Than Any Other Country��� Ravages in Morocco A craze for absinthe is spreading ali over the continent nnd to England. The sal > of absinthe is rigorously forbidden in Switzerland. The curious thing is that Switzerland is the largest producer of absinthe in Europe, and every drop is exporied under fuil official control. The absinthe to be procured surreptitiously in the Swiss cafes is smuggled through from France. In Morocco )hr- absinthe craze has become so bad that the Sultan has prohibited its manufacture, sale or importation- This decree was made at the request of General Lyautey, the Frtmch president in Fez. All travellers agree that the effects of drinking absinthe in Morocco are appalling. Caravans have been described as laden with absinthe, carrying it from the coast to the interior. tional cost of fuel with the attendant pulling out of drawheads and the wear and tear of the equipment being no inconsiderable items - in themselves. With direct communication with a train and the ability to set and release signals by wireless, dispatchers can keep in touch with conductors and make the stops needless- The wireless permits the dispatcher to board every train and deliver his instructions as surely as if he handed them to ihe conductor in a sealed envelope. ' "That the wireless service for ordinary operating: purposes is no longer an experiment is proved by the fact that the Lackawanna has already depended upon it when wire communication was cut off. Recently, when a severe storm put all telephone and telegraph lines out of commission in the mountain division of the Lackawanna railroad, all train orders were handled by wireless between Scranton and. Binghampton for two hours during' which fifty-four orders were transmitted." ��� -.-.-���-.��� "Communication by wireless teie-^ graph to and f.'om fixed stations "with moving trains is no longer an uncertainty," Foley said. "Railroads . can now go ahead and install the service without any fear of failure. The service can be put into operation without increasing the train crews." Commercial telegrams have already been sent from the Lackawanna Limited and a set of regular toll rates i�� now being prepared by the railroad and telegraph compa-nies.
