"May lie come upstairs with me?" "Well, mist.: that's as yon please." "Come Tim; come, dear Tim," said the girl; and the next minute the woman, the girl and tho cat went up and up the stairs to the very top of the 1 all house. Two candles, and a bright little lire did make a difference. The sheets on the bed were fairly clean, and the bed was turned down and looked tolerably inviting, so much so, that Barbara longed for the moment when she might str. toll her lir. (1 limbs there and drop asleep. A little, round, deal table had been added tu the furniture of Ihe room. It was destitute of any cloth, but was In itself unite clean. On the table was a tray which contained a cup and Saucer .a jug full of milk, a littlo canister of cocoa, a lump of bread, a pat ot bUtter, some sugar, and some salt. "There' miss," said the woman, "T liae put n saucepan 'ere' n.ndy, and you enn boll up the milk and make the colter, which, is Cadbury's best, and tlicre you be.

Her eyes, however, were sufficiently expressive, and tlie good landlady bustled through lier work, and, sharp as a neighboring clock struck, she left 124b Vauxhall Bridge Road and started for Chesney street. Two very eager little beysï¿½ï¿½ï¿½two rough, scarecrow-looking little fellows ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½were waiting at the corner of dies ney street. They were waiting some one, and their hearts were going pit-a-pat; they fully meant to be faithful to that some one when sho appeared. But how could they possibly mistake Mrs. Russell for her? Mrs. Russell walked down the street. If it liad been rough and unsightly and dirty and disreputable when Barbara had visited it a few hours ago, it .vas still rougher and more disreputable now. Men and women lounged about and talked to one another and made coarse .iolu.i and laughed in loud defiant voices, and sometimes'the laughter changed to cries, ar.d the coarse, good-natured words to blows. But Mrs. Russell was was accustomed t> this sort of thing, and took no notice. She found No. 20a, and went up the steps. She pulled at the broken-down bell and was confronted by a very shabby-looking girl, on whose right cheek was a blï¿½ï¿½ smut, while lier other oil sek was Inflamed by a recent blow from a far from kindly hand.

The boy promptly broil', it Ills old fashioned six I'i ot rifle to liis shoulder, ami the bullet cut up the dirt under the deg's fee'. The next instant the boy disappeared In the brush.

Buoyancy of Fresh and Salt Water A Chinese lad dropped his ball in a narrow hole and uould not get it out. So ho poured water in the hole, thinking that he would float, the ball to the surface. As the ball was slightly hea. ier than Water, it remained on the bottom. Then lie thought of mixing salt, with the water, as he knew that salt water would float denser objects than fresh. This he did and was rewarded with the float! ig ball. This particular fact.is demonstrated at the mouths of rivers. Objects rolling along.tlio botf.'im of a fresh river too heavy to come to the top, will rise when they are carried out to sea. Tho general rule also applies to floating bodies. For' instance, a ship with a cargo on the sea will sink sometimes a foot on entering a fresh waler port. On the oilier hand, if she leaves a fresh water port, with her cargo she will rise whr.i entering the ocean. So a ship may he loaded apparently too much at a wharf and still be all right. on the waves. In building a dam the fact of salt water's being heavier than fresh must be taken into consideration, and the for j dam for the same head must be a good deal stronger; this, too, without taking into considi ration the beating of waves, etc.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½St. Louis Republic. *__ If you have been buying the 3 lb. dollar tin of any brand of tea you have surely wished for a finer-flavored, riolier, stronger tea.

That's because the food Is not digested and absorbed. Much that is eaten is never taken up by tne system as real food, and so the tissues elm- ply starve and the individual may, as! in a recent case, look and feel old In what should be the bloom of life, youth. "At twenty I was prematurely old. The health nnd vigor and brightness | of youth had l.cen, as it seemed, stolen from me. I went lo work in the morning will, slow' steps and a dull head.

The Salt Sea Legend There is a legend In the "Norse ' scalds which explains why the sea is salt. The "bountiful Fordi, whose mythical reig.i was a golden age indeed, possesse.l a juern, or hand null, which ground out gold and peace, but which would grind out stores of anything desired by lis owner. Two giant maidens, ruled over by Frodl, were the griudera. In an evil day a^ sea rover came upon the scene, slew Fordi and carried tho quern off and the two giant maidens who worked It. When the sea, rover's vessel was right out at sea he ordered the maidens to grind salt. At midnight they asked it they had not ground enough. The sea rover, angry al being awakened from his sleep, commanded them to grind until morning. Now-, the giant maidens naturally enough worked very quickly so as they went on grinding the load of salt, grew so heavy that it sank the ship, and now the sea will continue suit forever.

GRIEVES Builder & Contractor FOREST FIRES The motto of the International Irrigation Congress, which meets in Western Canada this year, "Save the Forests, Store the Floods" is readily appreciated in British Columbia. In the Valleys of the Kootenay River, Okanagan Lake, Thompson aud Fraser Rivers there are about too.ooo acres of land which are greatly improved iu productive ca-, pacity by irrigation. The streams! from which .at:r must be secured, without exception head in timbered hills. The timber in the headwaters of these streams is not at present valuable for agricultural purposes. Its value to the public, however, is shown by its Influence on stream llow. A stream to be valuable for irrigation must supply water regularly during the dry summer season. Watersheds barren of forests act like roofs. They pour the waters from spring rains and melting snow down over their bare rock slopes in torrents in the early season when water i.s not needed for irrigation, When midsummer comes and water is needed for man aud fruit crops, those streams are dry, Forested watersheds, on the other hand, do not give up their waters so prodigally. The timber protects the snow and holds its melting later in the summer. The waters from rain and melting snow are caught by tne vegetation beneath the trees, soak into the spongy soil covering of moss, mulch and decayed vegetation are led by myriad little channels into the open soil, aud seep gradually down, appearing be- ow iu springs which feed the streams suminerlong. Certain forests iu the Province, particularly in the mountains around Okanagan Lake, are given special care in lire protection because of the immense value of the water yielded by their HEADQUARTERS FOR Buggies and Express Wagons All Riga Guaranteed and Sold at the Lowest Possible Price 1 GEORGE B.

Opposite new Presbyterian Cirtr cli Letter to The Editor Dear Sir:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Natural conditions have this summer beeu more favourable to forest fires in Older British Columbia, the district south of the Railway belt, than in any other previous summer in ten years. There has been eight weeks of drought, during which hot days, hot nights and high winds have dried timber and vegetation, fanned sparks and carried flames beyond control in an instant. The great danger has fortunately been apparent to everyone. Land clearing operations,, campers, construction works, railroads, have been kept under careful watch by private citizens, timber owners and forest guards. During June more fires were extinguished by forest officers in dangerous districts tl.iau had occurred all last summer. In July as the conditions grew worse the patrol staff was increased, Towards the end of July, as the whole country became extremely inflam- able awaiting only a spark, special warning was sent forest officers to see that all fires we<- immediately extinguished and dangerous operations suspended. The precautions taken were well justified, Many fires escaped control aud were only, by the wholesale employment of men, by loggers railroad companies aud the Forest Branch, kept from doiug serious I damage. Fires have gained a fly-! ing start on the slash resulting front the past few years logging i For two weeks over 3000 men, and I on three cccasions, special trains have been employed restricting Sres.to logged over areas, The efforts have been successful except in two instances'. The worst fire loss has beeu at Bull River' where two fires started from logging camps swept simultaneously through slash, surrounded 500 fire fighters with great loss of timber and it is feared loss of life. Another fire starting from railroad construction destroyed valuable | timber in the Similkatneen Valley. Many fires iu slashings are still unextinguished. A continuance of dry weather will result in further loss of timber in spite of the efforts of the Forest Branch, The prevention of forest fires is for endorsement The above resolution was unanimously passed at the meeting of the North Cowichan Council. The resolution was tbe outcome of the discussion on what flag should be bought for the municipality. Tt was arranged to buy a Union Jack. MRS.

The Salt Sua Legend There is a legend In the Noise scalds which explains why the sea is salt The "bountiful Fordi.' whoso mythical reig.i was a golden age indeed, possessed a Jtieni, or hand m.n, which ground out gold and peace, but which would grind .out stoves of anything desired bv its owner. Two giant maidens, ruled over by Frodi, were the grinder.-,. In an evil day a sea rover came upon the scene, slew Fordi and carried the quern off and the two giant maidens who worked it. When the sen rover's vessel was right out at sea be ordered the maidens lo grind salt. At midnight they asked if they ha.l not ground enough. The sea rover, angry at being awakened from his sleep, commanded tbem to grind until morning. Now, the giant maidens naturally enough worked very quickly so as they went on grinding the load of salt grew so heavy that, it sank the ship, and now the sea will continue salt forever.

Letters to The Editor The Editor, Courtenay Review, Dear Sir,ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½As an okj resident of 1 Courtenay I really cannot understand why there should be a moment's hesitation as to tlie'best site for the post office, and the excuse given by Mr. Clements that it i.s absolutely necessaryjfor it to be built on Isabel Street because tenders have been invited is most absurd, and one which any six business men would say could not be sustained. j Although .Mr, Clements, last j February, six months after Mr. I Henderson chose a site objected to | by some eitizeu-j -pretended to give . them a chance to change it. I do not think, in view of what he stated at the meeting on the 3rd ill- i stant, that he could have been sin-. cere, I am amazed at this, when at least eighty per cent, of the people want it built on the main street. Yours truly, ! Au Old Resident Courteuay, Aug. 12, 1914. -Editor Review Dear Sir:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½In a recent issue t' e Review gave the standing of the pupils from Courtenay who had passed their examinations,! but you made no mention of the particularly fine record made by one of them. You stated that Master John Duncan of Sandwick had passed fifth in his class at King Edward High School. This gives uo idea of his record. I beg to call your attention to the fact that he passed first in a class of thirty-six. But in addition to this, there were 290 pupils ir his year ill the King Edward High School, and he passed fifth 111 this list of two hundred and ninety pupils, A record like this deserves special notice, It is a credit to the people of Comox Valley that they can send out pupils able to take a standing like this, It is a credit to the Courtenay school. But so far as I know all, or most of the pupils sent out from thi Courtenay School during the past few years have _nade a good record This goes to show that pupils in the country schools, if they work faithfully, can do as well or better than the pupils in city schools.

FURTHER COLONIZATION IT AIMS OF MOVEMENT RECENTLY STARTED TO DIVERT IMMIGRATION TO WEST Effort Being Made to Attract a Greater Number of Desirable Settlers to Western Canada, Where Opportunities For New Comer Are ol the Best. With the iiiinoiiuei'iiicnt recently ot the scheme io form the Western t'an- lda Colonisation and Development League, whose object was renewed activities for agricultural Immigration especially, reports have been received at ilu' provisional headquarters of ibis organisation hi North Battleford, thai agitations are being started by a number of individuals, apparently representatives of newspapers In the old country and Ihe United Stales, wilb tbe idea ot forming local colonisation schemes, which so fur appear to be tfrgely attempts ou the part of private individuals or newspapers lo secure an appropriation of money lor advertising purposes, it was with the Intent of obviating the BQUatlderlllg uf money ou individual lines that gave rise ..i lhe Idea of forming one concrete organization, to carry ou a campaign lor Western Canada as a whole. It wus alsc realized that. Western Canada had a much greater attraction lo the public of Great Britain and ihe United Slates than any one locality; this conception was backed up almost. unanimously bv boards of trade snd eit> councils from the Pacific coast to the Ureal Lakes, Wben one considers the fact that for the government year of 1018 eastern Canada received 207,000 Immigrants, whereas Western Canada received 1115,1)01), it is evident that more aggressive methods must be adopled and a greater amount of money spent, and spent, judicially, to increase the Influx of Immigration and develop Ihe resource.! of Western Camilla. Last j ear the east was the destination of by far the greatest percentage of Canada's immigration and this is accounted for by Ontario's Increased activity, they having established headquarters iu England, with a capable and aggressive organization, specifically charged with lhe duties of expediting emigration and development. It does not seem that lhe various provinces of Western t'anadr. have been keeping pace with the activities of Ontario and, in fact; in some quarters It would appear lhat not only Is attempt being made to secure settlement but rat It or that immigration is being deprecatedï¿½ï¿½ï¿½for what good reason it Ib hard to fathom, li is understood that the province of Saskatchewan encourages Ju the old country merely farm laborers and domestic servants to come out: and it is reported that, personally, the representative ot Sasaklchewanï¿½ï¿½ï¿½filled With the possibilities of Western Canada, actually encouraged other emigration, for which ho was severely reprimanded. To the average business man, who believes that the developemnt of Western Canada as a whole Is of greater importance than the temporary success of any one political party, the report tbat there are policies ill existence antagonistic, to increased immigration is of very serious import. Such policies should be thoroughly investigated by the farm land brokers, as well ac by the holders of large areas ot agricultural lands, which fere held for sa'e and on which taxes are at the present time being paid to the various municipalities. It is ridiculous for a municipality to enforce taxation on vf.cant lands when especially the government of the province and, In some er.ses. tho people, are not only not adopting any strenuous methods to increase the developmnt of the land and bring In a good class of agricultural settlers, but, as it Is reported, In some eases are actually blocking the way. It was staled recently by the repie- sentative of large English interests that there were thousands of thoroughly qualified farmers' sons In the old country with ï¿½ï¿½100 to .CI'.OO a piece, who, if Western Canada's advantages were properly placed before them, would readily grasp the opportunity of becoming valuable settlers for Western Canada, ll was slated that these peo.de are not being reached through present loims ot advertising in Great Britain and, judging by the Immigration returns, the statement would appear lo have good grounds. It should 1 e recognized also that Australia and olher colonics of Uie British Empire are active In co-operatlns with the old country In securing settlers and It is ev n Intimated that today Grcat.

But vention held at Regina, by Hon. W. R. lho truth ear.vio: lor.g be concealed Qualities of Radium Not Understood Nothing in modern times has led to such quackery us the word "radium." It Is therefore very interesting to learn that the British Science guild has taken the matter up and has investigated the way that the word, and the element lhat the word denotes, has been exploited on a confiding public. Radium is a metal ot which a minute specimen has been prepared and this faint, silvery film is In the possession of Mine Curie, in Purls. It is sealed up In the little quartz crucible ln which it was first produced, The so-called radium of which we hear so much is one of the sails of radium, either the chloride or the bromide, gcenrally the latter and somehow or olher it bas been taken by the popular mind as a great healer. The man in the si reel stems to think that it is some kind of a costly drug that has been invented l.y doctors. It is ccstly, no doubt, but it is not a drug. If It had not been for a curious accident the word 'radium" would probably have been quite unknown excepting I. sell ntists. it would certainly have been no more famous than cerium, ot thorium or iinarium. The accident was an odd cr.e Professor Cnrrle cama across from Paris lo show lha Londoners at the Royal Institution the remarkable new stilt that his wife had gol trine lhe risldues of uranium mines. He curried it In his waistcoat pocket and got his aide badly burned. Just about that time it was becoming recognized that the X- rays could hurt the skins of people who were exposed to their Influence; but it was also njticed that in certain cases X-rays were of definite value, especially In the keeping down of the pain of cancer Some cases o" cancer got batter and X-rays were heralded as the "cure." The production of X-rays, oi rather, the method of producing them, was at that time very uncertain. It is not much better now. Just a few methods for measuring the energy g'.Vori off from a Crookes1 t be have bem tried, but they arc very feeb'e and very inaccurate. A. Cr ;okes tube varies from moment to moment, and no one excepting an expei" operator can lell what lhe X-rays i'. give-, off aro likely to do, either in binning a hand or giving an impression on a photographic plate. The connection between X-utys and radium will be seen when it is explained that one of the first discoveries mado by Mine. Curie was tbat even her crudd material was radiant, Amongst other Strang: properties it had the power of giving three different kinds cf rays, which she named by tha first three lottirs of the Greek alphabet. The till. st.-. of rays were identical with the X-rays that have been found so ungovernable in all hospitals. They are given off with prefect reguarlty and without any of the sudden changes that are fount! In :. Crookes' lube. So H was natural that "radium" should be used wherever _ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ rays had shown decern results, tut bad failed oecav.si ot tlieir uncertainty. That was the beginning of the use of radium In tlr: surgery. II was a substitute for X-rays. .Naturally more has been discovered about l> since then, aud equally naturally, the word "radium" has been exploited in all ways. Radium Is of enormous value when properly used; but, radium quackery seems likely now to be one of the great modern cures. The medical committee of the British Science guild wants to kill the quackery.
