Antwerp Has Fallen On Monday authentic ileus readied here that Antwerp had surrendered to the German forces'. The B_l_ia_S, seeing that they had the best chance of saving their city from destruction did tin's; but first their soldiers gave the Germans a fearful gruelling, fully 20,000 of them being put out of action while they were crossing the river. The Belgium armv got safely away to Osiend, and a great percentage of valuables had been previously shipped to England, so that the Germans got practically an empty city. A report was current yesterday afternoon that a section of the German army had pierced the allies at one place, Our stock of Xmas. cards is now in, Call and see samples nicer and cheaper than last, year.

The subj... .._ ..tiiiiuu Culture a Failue" was very exhaustively treated bv both the pro and con leaders. Owing to the verjf bad weather, there was a very small attendance, but those who were present took great interest in the discussion. The subject for next Monday night is "The Hunter vs the Hunted." This is a timely subject, and those who attend will likely hear some goo.; ttj/c. Owing to the heavy downfall of rain which continued all day Monday, the Thanksgiving Festivities were very much dampened. A number of local nimrods had planned for a big day, and but few braved the elements and went after ducks. Some of those who went down the dyke secured a few fine specimens. Pheasants are becoming very wild aud scarce. Nearly every farmer within reasonable distance of Courteuay has his fences placarded with notices to the effect that no shooting is. allowed on his premises, This may be all right from the farmers standpoint, but the sportsman pays a license of $2.50 for the purpose of shooting, and it is very annoying to find all the game preserved. A meeting of the Patriotic Service Committee was held yesterday afternoon. During the past few days the river has beeu greatly swollen, immense logs that have been stranded for years have been loosened and are floating down daily. Mr. Wm.

They are believed to be spies and were taken to Victoria on Tuesday's boat The yacht is now lying iu the river at the Builders' Supply wharf.

It is believed, however, that the suggestion is not likely to receive the. serious attention of tlie Belgian government, such articles having appeared on several previous occasions during the last few years. The pension wns granted by King William of the Netherlands, to whose kingdom Belgium was united by the treaty of peace which followed on the victory. Fifteen years later Belgium proclaimed her Independence of Holland, but subsequent Belgian governments have continued the annuity to the descendants of the first duke.

SISTER'S TRICK But it All Came Out Right How a sister played a trick that brought rosy health is an interesting tale: "I was a coffee fiendï¿½ï¿½ï¿½a trembling, nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging to the poison that stole nway my strength. I mocked at Postum aud would have none of it." (Tea, also, is injurious, hecause it contains caffeine, the saute poisonous drug found in coffee). "One day my sister substituted a cup of piping hot Postum .or my morning cup ot coffee hut did not tell ma what it was. I noticed tlie richness of it and remarjicd that the 'coffee' tasted line but my slste- did not tell mi I was drinking Postt'.i for fear I might not take any more. "She kept the secret and kept giving me Postum instead of coffee until I grew stronger, more tireless, got a better color in my sallow cheeks and a clearness to my eyes, then she told me of ihe health-giving, nerve- strengthening life-saver she liad given me in place of my morning colfee.

Baron Bamberg, when a young captain in the Austrian cavalry, was attached to the personal stall of the Duke of Wellington at tlie battle of Waterloo.

LAWRENCE IS THE OLDEST RIVER IN THE WORLD Nature Saved This Historic and Unchanging Stream the Trouble of Cutting a Channel For Its Course From the Great Lakes to the Sea. What is the oldest river in the World? The St. Lawrence. It la also one ot the few rivers thut did not have lo make its own bed and has remained unchanged since the very be- giuniir. of the American continent. Try lo think of a time when Ihe earth was covered by ti mass of water, hot, steaming nud often tremendously disturbed by the throes of a globe beneath ii that was shrinking because il was becoming cooler. As lhe globe shrank every particle of lhe outside .as naturally pulled in tow anl the centrei and the hardening crust, which' could not be packed any more solidly] than It was, hail to wrinkle, sinking down here anil bulging up Hoiucwhnro else. Alter a lime certain of these rising wrinkles, or folds, the thicker or firmer p; Is of the earth's crust, Btood Hie strain and became permanent ridges. Tlie ohlest, uf them thai geologists know and apparently Ibe llrsi that bulged up above Ihe universal ocean i.mi remained high and dry was the broad mass on which Canada now rests. It Is a part of the original crust of Ilie. earth, and we can see il today wherever It Is not covered hy newer rocks or soil just as tt, crystallized and cooled out ot the primeval molten material, Tills mass formed a broad V from Labrador down to Lake Huron and thence northwestward to Alaska. On account of Us shape geologists call it the Canadian shield. It Is Ihe oldest land known ami apparently the strung est, for there are no signs of any extensive changes In It. (except the wear Ing nway of the surface) since it lirst rolled the ocean off its shoulders. Off Ihe, eastern coast of this primitive continent lay a chain of lofty islands .about on the. line of the Blue Ridge, Hie, White Mountains, the Maine coast ami Nova Scotia. Between these islands and the mainland was a troughlike space that ran from Eastern Quebec soiithwcstward to Ohio. It - was two or tbree hundred ..tiles wide antl filled with ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½:. shallow sea, antl just outside the island chain was the great hollow that held the Atlantic ocean. Time went on. For ages the straining and cracking of the shrinking globe, earthquakes, sun and frost, pounding surf, running water, blowing gales, Iceï¿½ï¿½ï¿½all labored to tear down the mountains and carry the wreckage of rocks and dust away into the valleys and ..oas. ln this way vast masses of rock ln layers of shales, sandstones, and what, not. were laid down i i that narrow, troughlike sea between the chain of islands and the continent. All these "sediraentary" rocks were soft and weak as compared with the solid old granites deeply rooted on either side of them, and the trough itself, a sagging fold, was a line of weakness in the crust. As the lead of deposits became heavier and heavier the floor of this trough slowly yielded, and as It sank toward the heated region below the underside melted and grew thinner and thinner. That could r.ot go on forever, and soon the continual shrinking ot the globe and the enormous pressure of the weight of the ocean became irresistible. The Canadian shield was immovable, so the rock in .he trough began lo bulge or crumple all along its length. Gradually, not all at once, but by slow and varying movements, those folds were squeezed np, which-in their broken and worn down ,orm we know as the Appalachian mountains. Toward the south there was room for this action lo be rather gentle and regular, but In the far northeast the trough was narrow, and the soft rocks were set en edge, overturned and splintered against the solid continent. Very early -;n the struggle a great fracture of the earth's crust occurred here alonr a curving northeast and i truth west line. It left a de^p and broad trench between the crushed and displaced rock- of the trough and the granite shore of tlie Canadian shield Inlo tbls trench rushed all theinterinr waters of he continent, draining away to the sea, and the St. Lawrence river was born! There, no doubt. It will remain as long as the earth keeps its present form. At that lime there was no gulf of St. Lawrence. The land extended out to ft coast line that stretched unbroken from Nova Scotia to Labrador. The present gulf Is the result of a sinking of the coast region. Most o.' It is very shallow, but a chart' o' soundings shows the ancient river bed i.s a channel winding out between Newfound land and Cape Breton to the deep ocean.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Youth's Companion. !'.

General Principle" of Rotation Prof. S. A. Bedford, deputy minister of agriculture in Manitoba, Lives the following general principles of i ro - rotation: 1. Include at least one leguminous crop In the rotation to galhir nllro- gen from the air. 2. Have at least i nc cultivated or lined crop In the rotation that, tin' hind may he cleaned of weeds. :t. Botatt shallow-rooting crops witli deep-rooting ones, so ns to enlarge lhe feeding ground of the plants. 4, When possible to do so avoh' rotating small cereals wllh otber small cereals, especially avoid rcpealin,, the wheal crop. B, If live stock Is . 'pi plan the rotation B i as lo have approximately the same amount of forage each year. (1. As soon as conditions permit, keep morn or less stock on the farm, in no other way can lhe fertility of the land bo kept iip. 7. At the earliest possible moment have the bedding so free of weeds that the manure can lie applied direct from the stable iind thus save much waste of fertilizer. 8. Arrange the rotation so that most, of Ihe lilted help will be profitably employed all the year round, the rate of wages will be less and employees will bo more contended.

Surgery Extraordinary There appears lo be no limit to the daring and skill of the modern surgeons, which are nowadays so amazing that they verge on the miraculous. Within the last few months we have read of the restoration of a blind man's sight by transplanting sections of the cornea from a boy's eye which the surgeon had been obliged to remove; and of a girl, part of whose brain had been taken away, without the least harmful consequences. In another case the heart of a woman, who bad been stabbed, was sewn up at a Paris hospital; and a few min utes later she walked off as sound and well as ever. A Swiss surgeon has removed the entire stomach of a patient, who gets along just as well without It, eating antl digesting through the gullet; and a noseless man has been provided with a new organ from one ot his own fingers. The patient's arm was encased in plaster, and for four weeks he had to bold bis "live" finger to his face until it took root, when it was amputated, to flourish as a nasal organ, Straight Talk a Virtue Everybody respects the man who talks without circumlocution. and who me ins what he says, whose tongue is not twisted and who go_ right to the mark, never seeking to mislead or to misrepresent.

USE OF WIRELESS IN TIME OF WAR NEW FORCE IN MODERN WAR FARE FOR COMMUNICATION Tbe Usefulness of the Wireless In War Time Has Been Abundantly Provenï¿½ï¿½ï¿½The Big Government Land Stations of the Powers Wireless telegraphy is lhe new force in modern warfare which lias Changed nil the old problems of communication. Prof. Frank Waldo, writing in the Boston Transcript, gives an interesting description of wartime uses of the wireless. "The usefulness of wireless in war time," snys Professor Waldo, "has just been proved iu the recall of certain ships after they liad left port, war having been declared ill thu meantime. One ship waa recalled to New York after proceeding over TiOti miles uu her way across the Atlantic, and the wireless bas been active in reaching ships i'rom the European statlt ns either for purposes of recall or notification that the war Is on, "The stopping of all telegraphic nnd telephonic communication between the belligerents at the first breathings of war, and the partial stopping by control ami censorship of such communications from nations at war to non-belligerents, has rendered invaluable messages by wireless across and around the regions controlled hy tho belligerents and especially at sea and across the seas. But the bottling up of any place so that it cannot hold communication with the outside is a thing of tho past. The fact that a wireless apparatus cannot be easily hidden prevents the surreptitious use which might be made of It in regions under control of the belligerents, although for short-distance communication, such as along frontiers or between close lying countries as in Western Europe, a small wireless receiving apparatus might be secretively used, especially if it were temporarily strung under cover of the darkness and taken down before daylight. In audi work there will be a new field tor signal corps work and BCOUtiugB. "As regards tlu more powerful land stations, those which will keep up communication iiim miles and upwards these can be easily kept under government supervision, but the use of wireless on ships for sending messages up to from 260 miles to 500 miles, and receiving them at still greater distances from powerful land stations, will be subject only to such artificial interference as may ho put in operation by tlie belligerents. There can be no doubt that the experience in the present war wilt result in the closer governmental control of private and amateur wireless installation. "Austro-lliingary has four i_ipo"i. ant government wireless station'': Castleniiovo, Pola, nnd Sebinico, with normal range of 260 miles by d_y and 500 by night, and Trieste with _ day range of 150 miles and a. night range of 300. "Germany has seventeen wireless station's, of which eight are lightships with small range of from 20 tn CO miles. The remaining stations are at Barkurn, range 100 miles; Brï¿½ï¿½- merhafen, range 2n0 miles; Built (Kiel Bay), range UO miles; Cu_- haven, day range 110 miles, night range, 170 miles; Dan?lg, day range 330 miles, night range 600 miles; Helgoland, range lln miles, Norddeich, day range, 420 miles, night range. .;!_ miles; Snssrutz illngenl, range UO miles; Swinemunde. day range, 320 miles, night range .60.

Story of a Picture A picture which 'attracts every, body's attention at the Tate gallery by its position, ils size and its striking b unity is that of a lady riding on a white horse through an archway into a courtyard. She is dressed in a green velvet riding habit of the time ot Charles 11.. with a long red feather in her gray hat. On her left stands a page in an old gold velvet suit, with a dog by liis side. This picture has a remarkable history, as well as numerous titles The catalogue calls It "Equestrian Portrait," but it is also nown as "Nell Gwynne." the name given it by Millais, and also sometimes as "Diana Vernon." Tbe fact is that Sir Edwin Landseer left this picture unfinished. He painted the horse and its trappings, intending It for an equestrian portrait of Queen Victoria. Bat he died and left the picture untin. islied, and it was sent to Sir John Mi. lais, who painted his own daughter la this o'.d riding costume, together wtUi the page, the dog and the background. The picture was begun in 1870 and __> islied twelve years later.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½London Ct _i THE COURTENAY REVIEW The Royal Bank of Canada Incorporated 1S69 Capital raid Op _ 1,560,11(10 Reserve and Undivided Profits $13,000,000 A GBNBRA .

Iliiiu-N, Editor nml Proprietor Subscription 11.80 per year in Advance Telephone 59 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1914 Canada's Opportunity Few people realize the possibilities of the country in which we are living, With our thousands of square miles of fertile laud anil our resources of mine, forest and fish- erics, together with all the oilier things which go to make a complete nation, Canada with her eight millions of people is just at the threshold where a little energy may push her through to become one of the greatest countries of the world. Picking up the market reports last week we notice that pigs sold on Toronto market as high as $10/15 per cwt. live weight, and cattle, 011 foot, commanded the almost unprecedented figure of $^,25 per cwt. The farmer is getting his opportunity right now, He should push the live stock industry as he has never done before. Experts wiio have been studying the ment situation of Canada and the United States, express the opinion that the Canadian farmers who are fortunate enough to have on hand next Spring a lot of well fed cattle, will receive for them the greatest price in the history of Canada. The explanation Ior this is the partial failure ol this years corn crops in the United Suites, nud the determination of the American forme s not to hold tlieir stock but to feed them up as fust as possible ,-nul rush them lo market in otiler that they will nut hnve to entry them over tlie winter, While last year's corn crop was short tlie one of two years ago was heavy, and the funncrs hnd enough feed on hand to help oul in wintering last year's stock. Hut thnt condition docs not exist this year. The farmers have none ol last year's short crop on bund, and if they attempted to carry tlieir stock over this winter they would hnve to de .endsole y on tbis years crop' which is not sufficient. Willi the American fanners rushing their stock to market there can be only only one result nnd thnt is n great scarcity of cattle in the United Sutcs next spring. While this shortage will probably work some hardship on the American consumer it is the best thing that lias occurred in the interest of the Canadian cattle misers and well aware of the shortage in the American corn market, and the consequent promised shortage ol cattle in the Spring, and they will hold on to their cattle this winter, feed them well, nnd have them iu prime condition for the Spring trade in the United .Suites, From present indications the Canadian cattle raiser who follows out this policy will reap n .small fortune on his stock with the approonch of the Spring months. Fortunately the climate conditions in British Columbia are such that nature looks after the reforestation, Nearly all logging operations in Ilritish Columbia arc followed by a dense growth of young timber, Douglas Fir will reach a height of seventy feci iu thirty years, and produce a stand of forty thousand feet per acre in sixty years. The only care it needs is lire protection- Given successful fire protection there will be 110 exhaustion of the forest in British Colrmbiu, ns is already felt in Eastern Canada, The first step in successful fire protection is the burning of slush after logging operations- Tlie burning of the slash provides 11 favourable seed bed for ttie germination and growth of Douglas Pit' It also renders unlikely subsequent destructive fires which would kill the young growth. B. C. Climate Renders Forest Planting Unnecessary Many people now living in British Columbia will remember that wherever cutting operations were carried on in the limbered estates of Great Britain or on the Continent it was necessary to im mediately plant trees to fill tht gaps. This precaution is still foi lowed throughout the private state forests of Great Britain and Europe No blank areas are allowed to exist, all cut over areas are planted or seeded with forest trees within a few months. The cost of planting or seeding, which reaches lliree or four dollars nn acre, is repaid with interest on the investment and rent on the value of the land, from the proceeds of the timber when cut Persons aware of this European practise frequently remark that there should be some system of reforestation in British Columbia in order that the public may have some guarantee that the cutting of our present forests will be followed by preparations for a new crop. The Kaiser's Nest Egg The Weekly Despatch of London Bug, snys:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Tne Canadian Government is considering whether fiction should be tnken in regard to German investments in Canada, which aggregate millions of pounds. About two years ago it was slated in Berlin that the Kaiser himself had invested very largely in Ilritish Columbia timber and mining propositions. His agent iu Canada was Baron Alvo von Alvensleber. It is stated that the last invested German cnpital in British Columbia timber limits to the extent of _"5,"800,000. If it i.s shown that the investments are really those of German coinbnttnnl. in the present war steps will probably be tnken to claim the property Ior the Crown. This will, of course, apply to ninny undertakings in Canada in which German capital i^ involved, nnd it is possible thnl pa-tot Canada's war budget y be financed by the simple process 'of co ifiscatiug German money now in Canada. That has already beeu done iu Germany in the case of British investments there. Tlie cancellation of German and Austrian patents held iu. Canada is also another likely step.

"Well, If you can, i shall be vory much obliged," said Dean Chance, "1 was always attached to my cousin Humphrey, he and 1 were nl college at tlie Bauie time, and although he would sink down Into a country Rector, and 1 become a Dean of the Church, yet, nevertheless, we were much about tlio same age. He married and had this Bweet littli' daughter, and 1 am a lonely man. 1 would gladly give Barbara a homo." "We will let her know that; il would be an excellent arrangement," said Parkes.

The house, therefore, although the neighborhood may not he quite desirable, must at lens! be respectable." "Thai is good hearing." said Parkes. "Well, we will write to you, Dean Chance, and you have our very best thanks for coming and tcllinn us this good news with regard lo the child," The Dean wont away only half satisfied, but no, perhaps It would be unwise. What was the mystery which had made the child run away and yet evidently confide in the lawyers, who knew something- something, What something? Something? that Humphrey Chance had done, or was it Humphrey chance--or his wife? The Dean remembered _rs. Chanceï¿½ï¿½ï¿½a most charming und lovely woman. She had far greater beauty than little Barbara, who inherited something of her father's pale complexion and dark hair; whereas. Mrs. Chance had hair bright as gold, large light blue eyes, and Ihe sort of face that captivated every man she came across. The Dean himself used tn love to visit at the Rectory When Mrs. Chance was alive, hut at her death, he never came again. He recalled now that ho had received a letter from his old friend: he had not thought much of It at the time, but now It gave him a very strange and peculiar sensation. The letter ran as follows; "My Dear Dean.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½I have sad news lo loll you. My wife passed away at Naples, on the lot.li of this month. 1 shall never see her face again. I have no one to comfort me but my little child, who is now only two years old. Eczema for Three Years, Broke Out on Head in Scales. Itched and Burned Badly.

At. present, I am an absolutely broken idiwn man. -Vour affectionate cousin, "Humphrey Chance." Now, as Ihe Dean thought over this letter, lie could nol help feeling lhat j there was something strange about it. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ There were no particulars willi regard I io the sudden denl.li of Mrs. Chance; she was a young aud healthy woman In her primeï¿½ï¿½ï¿½she could nol. have beo'i more than sixaiidtwcnty. She had died, according to her husband's letter, al Naples, and was liuried there, and liad left him alone with his only child. II is (rue, he had gone hack to his parish, and had done his work regularly. 1 lis parishioners knew lhat his wife was dead at least, thai was the general ideaï¿½ï¿½ï¿½but was she dead? The Dean doubted It, lie said lo himself now, nfter his frullless visit lo Ihe lawyers - "Wha1 a fool 1 have been! 1 ought to have gone [straight to Humphrey when I got thai teller, and forced his trouble out. of him. I ought to have insisted upon his telling me about, lho death of his wife. Why should a woman like Clementina Chance die suddenly at .Naples? There is something wrong. 1 have a good mind to ferret out this secret. Why not? There are holiday times, why shouldn't 1 go to Naples, and llnd her" grave? That would satisfy nie. The lawyers nre evidently determined to keep their secret to themselves. 1 am uot Dean of Hxham for nothing. 1 owe a great deal to my good friend Humphrey, and If 1 can befriend his child. I will, but I must be taken Into her confidence. If Clementina died at Naples, she was undoubtedly buried there. 1 can easily find her grave." So, to the amazement, of the man himself, that evening he started for the Continent, and in a few days arrived at Naples. There he went, to the English Chaplain, who liad been Chaplain for over ten years. lie asked him eager questions. "I have come to implore, you to help me, in a matter of great importance," he said. "And what is thai?" said Mr. Joyce, who was much pleased to meet, a dignitary of his own church in a foreign country. "Anything in my power that I can do for you, Dean Chance, 1 will do." "Can you give ine any particulars with regard to the death of a lady, young and very beautiful, who was called Clementina chance? She died, according to my information, about seventeen years ago, and 1 want to llnd out where she is buried. 1 hnve a particular reason for wishing lo know." The English Chaplain look (he Dean lo the little cemetery set. apart for those visitors to Naples who have died there, and who have, a special part of the cemetery to themselves; but, look as they would, they could nowhere Iind a..y grave with the name of Clementina Chance upon it." "This looks very, very odd," thought the Dean. He said nothing, however, to Mr. Joyce, "Are you certain the, lady is dead? She certainly, if she had died, would have been buried here. Rut the best thing would he for me to give you the name of the gentleman who was Chaplain at the time you refer to. Can yon tell me. the exact date of ber death?" The _ ean thought a little. "I 'make it out to be some time about the 15th January, 1885." "Ah. then, 1 think T know the very man who can help yon." "Do you? llow kind of you to take this trouble." "Not at all. T am delighted to welcome ynu, Dean, and to help you in every way in my power. Tlie name of the gentleman who wns then Chaplain is Force. He still lives in Maples, and I can take you to liis bouse." "If you will do so, I shall be more than grateful," said the Dean. They both started off, and presently found themselves in a small, neatly kept garden. They rang a bell, and were admitted into the presence of an old clergyman, with snow-white hair, who greeted Joyce with fervor, and who was much pleased when he was introduced to Dean Chance. "Chance? ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ -Chance?" he said. "Yonr name is familiar, Oh!" nnd the color rushed into his cheeks, "Oh, now I know." "What do you know, my dear sir?" "I don't think I can tell yoll what I know." "But this is Intolerable," said the Dan. "1 have cume all the way from my deanery al Exhani to discover where my poor cousin's wifi1 has been laid. Me wrote me a letter at the lime, saying that she had died here and was buried." The face of Mr. Force bad resumed ils normal hue. Ile sat very stil] and did not. speak at all for several minutes. Then he said gravely: "Well, T am sorry, but 1 cannot possibly speak to you, sir, in the presence of another." "Ob, if I am in the way," said Joyce, "yo have only lo say the word. Naturally, there must be secrets which you would only communicate to relatives." "If you would be so very good as lo leave me for a time with Mr. Force, 1 should be most grateful to you," said Ihe Dean. Joyce accordingly left the room and went into the garden to wait for his friend. As soon as the two old men were alone. Dean Chance said: "I certainly got a letter at the time from my cousin, in which he told me of his wife's sudden death: he gave me no particulars, but simply told nie she had died in this great city. I wont to the cemetery, hut could find no sign of her grave. He also, <n his letter, made a strange. rpiiesi.

The present tendency toward a unity of Christian people and churches is due, ir. a large part, to Christian Endeavor, with Its more than 12,000 union meetings every year, ranging from local and county christian Endeavor union gatherings of one hundred or less, to the State, International, -nd World's Conventions, with tli usands and tens of thousands of delegates present. Some ot the county conventions in this country are large'; Los Angeles County, Cal., seldom has fewer than 1,000 ut its conn'.; convention; Middlesex County, Mass., had _,- 403 at its convention this year. The 27th International and : _fth Worlds Convention is to he held in Chicago, July 7-12, 1915.
