The continuance of all branches except in a few places where both have offices and the taking over of the Traders Bank staff will practically make little or no change in the relations of the bank with its customers. The combined assets make one of the strongest banks in the Dominion and places it in the front rank of the large financial organizations of the continent, and owing to favorable conditions and distribution of the business of these two institutions, the result must be to greatly extend and in- crease banking facilities.

Normal air contains about 21 per cent. of oxygen, and 0.05 per cent. of carbon dioxide, and to deter- mine how greatl these propor- tions are change when the air ceases to support combustion was the purpose of the experiments lately brought to the notice of the Coal Mining Institute of Amer- ica by G. A. Burrell. Different lamps were placed under a ten- quart bell jar until their flames were extinguished, when the air ,was analyzed. A bonneted Wolf lamp went out when the atmos- phere contained 16.5 per cent. of oxygen and 3 of carbon dioxide: an unbonneted lamp of the same, kind, in an atmosphere of 15.5.» per cent. of oxygen and 3 of car- bon dioxide, and a candle flame with 16.24 per cent. of oxygen and 2.95 of carbon dioxide. A natural gas flame from a Bunsen burn was extinguished in 13.9 of oggen and 3.25 of carbon di- oxide. The flame of an acetylene lamp continued until the oxygen was reduced to 11.7 and the carbon dioxide was increased to 6.30â€"Qr, much beyond the point where the! atmosphere became dangerous to! human life.

Harvesting is a slow business this year. Most of the grain could be cut but one way, yet most of it is cut. And now the hauling in. owing to the repeated rain storms, is equally slow. But the crop is an average one, and we hope to get it housed without much loss. Root crops are looking well. Miss Mabel Head in halite from iToronto on a two weeks’ vaca- Etion.
