In the junior game of the semi- | finals with Toronto, the Toronto Central "Y" defeated the local *Y" 20-17 and win the round by 33 points. At half-time the score was 9-7 for Kingston.

One can hardly keep from dancing while hearing these charming selec tions, as well as many others in the score of "Oh, Boy!" "Oh, Boy!" is the fourth o f a series of intimate musical comedies to be produced at the Princess Theatre, New York, and all the critica are generally agreed that it is the best of them all. Kingston has been fortunate in se- curing the excellent cast which is { presénting "Oh, Boy!" it coming di: rect from a five months' run at Ye Wilbur Theatre, Boston.

The great war has tesied man's ingenuity in almost every direction] and every department of science has; contributed to practical measures in| offensive, defensive and recuperative| power. But one of the most useful! articles now in great demand is pros vided by nature herself. This is the] innocent little plant growing in ob~| seurity in the sour and stagnant water of the peat bogsphagnum.| Botanjsts describe it as a moss of the sem) Sphagnaceae, --- peatmoss, whic enters largely into the com-| position of peat. The growing, living odour of mat-| ted sphagnum moss makes even the! sultry moisture of the entangled) swamp an irresistable attraction, The] perpetually damp and spongy moss; growing up in tinted, spreading | domes and hollows, while dying at| slowly cBnverting ancient | ponds into peat bogs and nourishing} a heterogenous gathering of seed- lings into elbowing, struggling trees, seems a perpetual fountain of vege- table life. 8S. J. Wood, a Canadian naturalist describes it fully in his! volume 'Rambles of ' a Canadian He "The usual! marsh vegétation enriched by] flowers that only the sphagnum can sustain. The sun-dew lays down its] leaves like open hands ready to] clasp and hold the unwary fly, and! there is abundance of insect life for! carnivorous propensities, The rich-| est treasure of the sphagnum swamp | is the showy Ladys Slipper, the most beautiful of our wild Orchids. © Deep in the secluded and protected re- cesses, while stooping, climbing and | straining overcome the barrier ofl interlaced branche these flowers] hide the beauty that threatens their | destruction Their sturdy, leafy! stems bear large rich = mocea=ins, | waxy white with dainty markings of | pink. This is a beauty of nature] that no cultivation could improve, and when discovered repays the sus- tained effort of.a day's search where | nature struggles to repel invaders. | Only the ardent lover of the sphag- | num swamp and its treasures can | appreciate to the full this abundant | fruition of a year's expectancy, It grows only in the stagnant | water of the peat bog. Its decay | sours the water and destroys bac-| teria of every kind. Nosfinger gan | exist in it. In Alaska and Northern | Russia extinct mamals were found | in a high state of preservation. in| one instance the flesh was so well | preserved that it was eaten by dogs. | Timber has been found in a complete state of preservation that had been imbedded for many years in peat bogs. This resistance "to _ bacteria makes it valuable as a surgical dress- ing, but its peculiar cell structure makes it a valuable absorbent. 'There is reliable evidence to the effect that our Indians knew of its properties and used it as a dressing for wounds. Mrs. Constantine, whdse husband" was one of the commandants in west- ern Canada, has personal knowledge of its use by the Indians, To.Miss Mary Going, who directs, the Blue Cross work here, belongs! the honour of identifying Kingston with sphagnum and the war, By the direction of botanists at Queens: University, she. found a supply near| the Roinwell farm at Collins Bay | and organized collectors. She had it} gathered and placed in the sun to] dry. When thoroughly dried it was| made up in dressings by sewing it in| gauze. These she sent to Lieut.-Col. | Walsh, Assistant Director of Vet- | erinary Services and Remounts who | sent it om to the Canadian Divisions! in France. This work was done in| July and September of last year. Professor MacClemmént, Botanist! at. Queen's University used to take] his classes to the peat bog at Collins | Bay. He states that there is a| plentiful supply of sphagnum moss | in the Rideau district and also about ten miles from Kingston in the dir-| pection of Division street, When the war began abserbent cotton was the principal dressing in use and its preparation' involved great expense. Sphagnum is better than cotton becauge it requires no mediedtion, and has greater absorb- ent qualities, says is To Use Hydro Power. The power committee of the Board of Trade has decided to co-operate with the Utilities Commission. in an endeavor to induce manufacturers other ugers of power to use ydro<Electric power. 9 One of the largest manufacturers, the Kingston Hosiery [Co., has under consideration the alteration of its plant in order to employ electric motor power. An immeuse saving in fuel will be a direct result and also a saving in the cost of manu- facture. Soft steam coal that could be obtained a few years ago at $3 per ton now costs $8 and $2 per ton. ' The cost of current will be reduc- ed to the consumer as the number of consumers increase. This is an assured fact which should be seri- cusly' considered My all users of power. °° Migs. D. OD.
