Dr. Roche, Canadian miuister of the interior, in a new year message to the weekly journal Canada in thie week's mail, notes with satisfaction that the year's immigration amounts to 400,000, of whom 150,000" were British. "In bring- ing to Canada so many people from the handicapped and crowded condi- tions of the. British Isles," says Dr. Roche, "we are mot draining the em- pira of ite sons and daughters, but are' transplanting them irom one part of the garde, to another. I feel as- sured that long as Canada has fertile lands to distribute, and Britain has vigorous men to #pare to work then, annual migration will con- tinue." as No Silk Het Yet Hamilton, Jan.

An aged beggar named Frankfurter, who was well known to pedestrians in the German capital, Suddenly fell down dead while he was engaged in plying his trade of asking for plms from the charitable. When bis clothes were examined by the po- lice, securities wo th $45,000 were found, ; A man who was arrested for beg- ging at Muolan, in Switzerland, was found to have bank notes to the value of $27,500 concealed in the lining of his cloties, and an old beggar woman who died a few years since in Metz, left behind her $37,500. 4 A few years back, there was a beg- gar in London who confessed that Le earned thirty-five shillings every day at the game. The remarkable part about this man was that he led a double life, and his story was certain. ly as strange as he strangest fiction. The son of a clergyman, he was born in Canada, when quite a youth h was sent over to Englani, where for a time he acted as a choir boy in a church.

The design had been suggested, but the difficulty was that the services of the sculptor who would have executed it would have been somewhat expen- sive, and naval expenditure does mot concern itself usually with mere ornamentation. It was at this junc- ture that Mr. Mackennal stepped into the breach--or, into the muzzle and designed, as a gift for the flag- ship, the handsome pattern which fills the Australia's muzzles to-day. Sir John Fuller Retires. The Governor . of - Victoria, Sir Jobn Fuller, has tendered his resig- nation on account of his health and for family 'reasons. Sir John was taken ill twa, months ago while visit- ing" England, and was for some weeks a patient in a nursing home In the West of London. His cond tion became improved, but his health has since been far from satisfactory, in England. Lady Fuller, who had accompanied her husband on his visit to England, has left for Australia. Sir John was appointed Governor of Victoria in 1911. Previous to this Australian appointment, from 1900%to 1911, he was Liberal M.P. for the Westbury Division of Wilts, and was Junior Lord of the Treasury in. 1906. In the following year he became Viee- Chaniberlaiti of His Majesty's House- hold, agd a baronetcy was conferred on hii in 1919. He is in his fiftieth year. \ Another Peer In Business.

Some of the Weapons Which Wepe Used Tu the Cwtting Up of the Camel Corps In Comaliland Were by Irony of Fate Secured From Britain Herself -- Abyssinia Is Mostly to Blame. \ Y The disaster te the British Camel Corps last August in Somaliland, led to the sending of the special repre- sentative of an English newspaper to bat country, to endeayor to solve the mystery how the Mad Mrllab obtains and ammun..ion. It is a well-known fact that some guns were obtainad from the British Government itself; indirectly of course. When the troops were with- dra\ p from the Soudan, rifies- and cartridges were distributed to the, friendly tribes so that they might protect themselves against the Mad Mullah's hosts. The ammunition was generally expended in inter-iribal feuds, then, when ammunition gave ou, the rifles were given to the Mul- lai. in the hope 'of buying him off. Having thus secured a large humber of these rifles, the Mullah bad little dificulty in taking thé rest by force. till, this present from the Britiuh Government was pot large epough to explain how it is that his men are, and always have been, liberally sup- plied with rifles. Africa is rigorously closed to the gun trafic. The giving or selling of id (even gas-pipe |g guns) to the natives of practically every portion ol that great continent is rightly looked on as a most Leinous effence, and the offender is liable. to very heavy punishment indeed. + England cannot afford to let the natives of the Soudan, East or Cen- tral Africa get posiession of firearms. Neither can France permit it in Mo- rocco, Northern Africa, or the Sa- bara, and both couatries spend much money in the prevention of gun- running. Yet rifles and cartridges circulate freely in the hear: of Africa, and there is no coubt whenes they come. The Mad Mullah will never run short of arms as long as the existence of an arms factroy is permitted at Addis Abeba. Abyssinia, a ridiculous and quite ir- responsible black s'ate, is being : I- lowed to sow the seed of endless trouble in the Soudan, in Central Africa, and in East Africa. The har- vest is for England to reap, and al- ready we have had a foretaste of it in the troubles with the Mullah. From the Addis Abeba factory rifles are dis- tributed as far as the Congo, the Western Sahara, and Portuguese Bast Africa, The people of Abyssinia do not at first sight impress ome with their worthiness to he allowed any liberty fn the dangerous matter of the arms piraffic. 1 They are accorded the right to gov- ere their own country. simply because Franee, Italy, and England have al- most equal interests in it, and cannot decide how to divide it equally. The Abyssinian looks on Europeans, not- ably 'Italians and English, as miser- Able scum. His own ideas of civili- zation are pretty well shown in the Custom Houses there. An ink-black savage, using an eight-foot spear as a walking-stick, pleking his teeth with a bamboo splidter, and baving brass rings in this ears and tin ones on his toes, does not strike one as an author- fzed 'customs officer. But he is in Abyssinia! He will claim and exercise the right to empty your portmanteau into the dust, paw your underlinen with indes- cribably filthy fingers, and exact prac- tically any duty he may please on any article that takes his fancy. He will detain your baggage for as long as a {ortnight in the hope of getting a bribe, and he will steal therefrom anything that it, 's possible to steal. 1 give this genuinely faithful 'ple- ture of one of the institutions of civi- lized Abyssinia, says Mr. Alan Ostlsy, the special representative referred to, £0 as to show that people of this type are hardly the kind to be allowed an arms factory. It may be said that they do not yet actually make new rifles. That is merely a quibble. They repair old or damaged rifies ostensibly for the use of the Abyssinian police. This is done under the direction of an English- man. There is no suggestion that his part la the business covers anything beyond the supervision of mechanical letails, such as refitting locks and lock-bolts, adjusting damaged trig- gers, and so forth. But when the re- pairs are executed, the rifles, instead of being distributed among the sol- diery, are sold to buyers. Then a fresh supply of old discarded rifles is bought "for the soldiery,"' and the rotiatle Sasiness is. od.

The Manitoba Free Press of Win- nipeg has marked the Christmas sea- son of 1913 by ihe presentation of a relic of unique historic interest. This is an exact reproduction in miniature of tho lead tablet deposited on March 30, 1743, in a bluff overlocking the Missouri river by the Chevalier de la Verendrye as evidence of his having taken possession by right of discovery for the King of France of the whole northwestern part of what is now the United States, together with a large part of what is now Western Canada, as far as the Rocky Mountains. The original tablet, now treasured by the Goversment of the State of North akota, was found in March last by young girl while playing with her companions near the public school of Fort Pierre, which is on the west bank of the Missouri river, across from the city of Pierre, the capital of North Dakota. The Chevalier de Ia Verendrye holds a high place on the long roll of French explorers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, who blazed-their way across the vast untrodden regions of the. continent. It was in September, 1738, that Pierre de la Verendrye and his youngest son, Francois, arrived at the Junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, the first white men to view the site of the city of Winnipeg. The tablet, which is about eight inches wide, contains on its obverse side a Latin inscription as follows: "Anno XXVI. Regnl Ludoviei XV. Pro Rege Illustrissimo Domino Mar- chione de Beauharnois MDCCXXXI. Petrus Gaultier de la Vercndrye Po- suit." That is "In the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Louis V., in the name of the King, our most illustri- ous Sovereigh, and of Monsieur the Marquise of Beauharnois, Piurre Gaultier de Ia Verendrye placed (this . tablet) 1741." On the reverse side, cut in French by the point of a dag- ger, is inseribed: 'Pose par le Chev- alyer de la Vr. te St. Louy la Lon- dette, A. Miotte le 30 Mats 1748." Translated this means: "Deposited by the Chevalier de la Verendrye. Wit- nesses, St. Louis la Londette, A. Mi- otte. March 30, 1743." The differ- ence in' the dates is due to the fact that the first was stamped at Que- bec, where the Marquis de Beauhar- nols, Governor of Canada, at the time, gave the tablet to de la Verendrye as he was setting out in search for the Western Sea. In an effort to discover the West- ern Sea, which it was then believed was a comparatively small body of water separating North America from the Orient, Chevalier de la Veren- drye, traveling wita a party of war- riors of Bow Ind'ans, caw for the first time the Rocky Mountains on New Year's Day, 1743. He decided tb cross the mountains, and behold the Wpst- ern Sea but found it necelisary after burying the tablet to retur: to Fort la Reine, the site of the present City of Portage la Prairie, where his fath- er was awaiting him. For thirteen years father and sons had followed the dream of the Western Sea in vain, but they di covered a sea of prairies, a sea of mountains, and {wo great rivers, the Saskatchowan and the Missouri. sd A Missionary Hero.
