He was super- _annusted two years ago. _--- Fishing in the Ocean with Horse and Wagon One of the most unusual methods of catching ocean fish is said to have been developed in New England. While the use of huge nets a few miles from shore is common, this particular trap is different because of the fact that all the conveying of workmen and catch is done by horse and wagon--and the trap is more than two miles out at sea. Along this strip of Cape Cod shore the tides completely cover the ocean bottom but, on receding, the water is not more than a few feet deep for several miles out. As a result, the fishermen can start out with horse and wagon after the tide starts to ebb, gather in the fish and re- turn to hore before the water is deep. * * = One-Man Jazz Band Gives Effects of Fourteen Instruments Shaped like a guitar with double sets of strings, an instrument with which it is claimed that one man can produce the | effect of a fourteen-piece orchestra has been inverted.

As a boy of ten, Charlie Leslie was visiting in Brantford in the autumn of 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell was carrying on his epoch-marking experiments. One mornin watched the work of stringing a telephone line from the Bell homestead to the office. Heeven volunteered to carry the lineman's tools, and when the railway was reached, the line through a culvert beneath the rails. When he emerged with the line, Professor Melville Béll, father of the great inventor, showed his appreciation by brushing the dust Leslie decided to be a telephone he was elected to ca from young Leslie's clothes. Perhaps it was as a result of this early experience that Mr. man. He has made the business his lifework. He is now Division Plant Supervisor for the Bell Telephone Company. THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG at the World Is Doing /As Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine) Mirror Lens on Tail Lamp Guards Auto if Light Is Out With pyramid-shaped prisms on its in- side surface, a lens for the automobile tail signal has been invented to give greater brilliancy to the light and to afford protection for the car'even if the lamps should .go out. The prisms are so designed that light from approaching cars illuminates them a bright red at a distance of 250 feet or more. The lens is inserted with the flat surface out and fits any standard lamp. * * % Waste Auto Oil to Help Solve Heating Problem Heating houscs with waste oil periodi- cally drawn from automobile crank cases may soon be a means of helping solve the fuel question, in the opinion of ex- perts. Already garage owners in an east- ern city are mixing this worn-out lubri- cant with fuel oil and burning it to heat their establishments. Experiments are now under way to determine the possi- bility of using this refuse in oil burners for dwellings. In one state alome, it is sstimated fifteen million quarts of this substance, equivalent to 15000 tons of coal, are thrown away yearly. Gaso- line itself once was a left-over product, but with the coming of the auto its con- sumption increased until in 1922 more than sixty billion gallons were used in the United States alone. Growing Up With The Telephone New Sport with "Walking Stick" Stilts and the "pogo" stick are com- bined in the device shown in the drawing to provide a new sport for the children. The user mounts the footboard and tips the stick toward the left and right alter- nately with body movements, turning the handle at the same time so that the | action of the device closely resembles walking. The steps are of good length and the operation is not tiresome. The construction of the device is shown in the insert. The legs are made from a length of %-in. flat iron about 1% in. wide, bent to the shape indicated. A cross brace of the same material is riveted to the legs about halfway between the bot- tom and top. To this brace a 4-ft. length of %-in. gas pipe is riveted, the end of the pipe being slit with a hacksaw and bent, the ears so formed being bent out- ward, flatténed and drilled for the rivets. A footboard, with a hole drilléli«to fit on the pipe loosely, is slipped over the pipe and rests on a large metal washer placed over the top of the legs. A %-in. rod is driven ough a hole drilled near the top of the pipe to serve as a handle. The footboard is loose so that the user can operate the device without moving his feet but by giving the handle a twisting motion and swaying the body from side to side. a [The world spends $200,000,000 a year for matches, seven for each person being the average daily consumption. npn CHARLES J.

Toronto, Aug. 15.-- (To the Edi- tor): The minister of finance has is- sued a notice that there is to be a meeting to consider the adjustment of taxation. He has also stated that the federal government cannot im- pose a land tax, When we consider the fact that in our largest cities, the owners of the beet sites, without making the slight- est effort to maintain the prosperity of the country, can extort from in- dustry fortunes yearly--often as much in one year as industry with all its toil can get in a hundred years; and when we consider that these exactions grow and grow with every addition to the population; and when we consider that this drives the two extremes of society further and further asunder, greater fortune to the House of Plenty and greater burden to the Home of Want, then we may form some idea of the blunder of resorting to a tariff, a method that smuggles itself into the home of the poorest and guarantees fortunes to the richest. The tariff falls wholly on industry and subjects industry to a twofold | burden--taxes to government, and tribute to the owner of the land. Instead, therefore, of encouraging everyone .to do his best with his op portunities, instead of making the land bud and blossom as the rose, we penalize the man who does his best to enrich the country, and re- ward with fortunes those who hold | the land to degrade and impoverish their fellows. The cost of assessing and collect- ing taxes in the cities is less than 2 per cent. but the cost imposed by the merchants in collecting the tariff amounts fully to 50 per cent.-- it costs $69,000,000 to collect $100,- 000,000. Only by a land tax can we compel everyone to contribute. Labor must provide all the tax and gets no pro- tection; the landowner gets all the protection and provides nothing for taxation. --W. A. DOUGLASS. CANADIAN PACIFIC--THE HARVESTERS' SHORTEST ROUTE TO THE WEST. Dud to the fact that the Canadian Pacific is the shortest route to the West, the greater majority pf har- vesters last year travelled via Cana- dian Pacific. The company will main- tain" the usual high standard of colonist car equipment this year with cars for the exclusive use of ladies, children and their escorts, while lunch counter cars in which hot meals, refreshments, etc., may be obtained at most reasonabie rates will also be attached to all trains. Because the Canadian Pacific Is the shortest route to Western Can- ada and due to the efforts of the Company to have the harvesters spread over as much territory as pos- sible in a minimum space of time, it is expected from the numerous in- quiries received, that a number of extra trains will be necessary this year to transport the harvesters to the West, Canadian Pacific agents throughout Ontario have been fully instructed in the various matters per- taining-to harvesters and will gladly furnish full information regarding the departure of trains. On August 22nd, at 12.01 am. (midnight, August 21st) the first special train will leave Toronto, fol- lowed by one at 10.00 am. and others as required. It is confidently expected that harvesters will again travel Cana- dian Pacific, the majority of har- vesters from Ontario last year hav- ing done so as the harvesters are thus able to be among the first from Ontario in the harvest fields.
