Burgess RUNTY LEARNS THAT HERE ARE EGGS AND EGGS More often than you ever dream Are things and folks not what they seem. --0ld Mother Nature. This isn't always their own fault. By no means. It is often due to failure on the part of oth- prs to see them truly. They may peem to be one thing while in reality they are something alto- gether different, largely because others think they are what they are not. So it is never wise to judge wholly by appearances. Runty, the venturesome ttle Possum, was in Farmer Brown's henhouse looking for eggs, He had never seen an egg but he was gure he would know one if he gound it. Unc' Billy Possum, his father, had told him that it would be big and smooth. So when he climbed into the first pest and found something smooth 'and rounded he hadn't a doubt fn the world that it was an egg. Hie eyes glistened. He smelled of it, but there was no odor. He felt of it. It was hard and 'smooth, so smooth that his little paws slipped from it. It was {bigger than he had thought it would 'be, a third as self, for he was still a little fel- law . ' "Unc' Billy had said that the fmooth part was the shell that he could bite through. He de- eided that he would try that egg then and there! One was smaller n the other, He laid down Sbeside it and clasped it with both nds and feet and tried to bite krough the small end. His th slipped off. Yes, sir, his Seeath slipped off. Try as he would She couldn't bite through that Shhell, What was more, he had re work to hold on to it. It kept slipping from his grasp. He tegan to lose his temper, He bit harder than ever and his teeth slipped off as before, It made him so angry that he kick- ed foolishly and that egg slipped away from him and out of the . nest down to the floor, where it landed with a dull thump. Runty peered down rhen he mber down, That shell hadn't broken. It hadn't even cracked. Wuntv sniffed in disgust and then he climber to another nest, It aso had an egg and this egg was st like the other. He couldn't te it, try as he would. This he 0 kicked out on the floor and didn't break. Runty was be- ming discouraged and oh, so ppointed. He began to won- what sort of teeth Une' Billy to bite through a shell like He climbed from nest to . Some were empty and ers had eggs just like those had found. He tried them all ith the same result, Of course, um know what they were. They lere china eggs, china nest eggs t there by Farmer Brown's at Vv. Just as Runty was about reaay t6 give up he found a nest with 'two eggs in it. Yes, sir, there were two eggs in it.. One was just like the others, but one was different. It was a little smaller .and it felt different. When he tried his sharp teeth on the small end they went through. Quicker a e in that end and was sucking big as him- | and lapping out the contents, He | was getting his first taste of egg i and liking it. He understood now why Unc' Billy wanted an egg so badly. He forgot Unc' Billy waiting outside, He forgot that he was in a strange place. He forgot everything but the feast he was having. When nothing but shell remained of that egg he went hunting for another. As before he found several of those white chica eggs, but now he knew the difference between these and real eggs the moment he touched one, and wasted no more time trying to bite a hole in one, At last in the far corner nest of the upper row he found another real egg and once more forgot every- thing but the feast he was hav- ing. Those two eggs were the only ones in the henhouse. They had been laid after Farmer Brown's Boy had collected the eggs the morning before. Mean- while Unc' Billy was waiting im- ratiently outside and wishing with all his might he could make himself as small as Runty long enough to squeeze through that little opening. "Ah do wish that youngster would roll me out an aigg," sighed Unc' Billy, Copyright, 1931, Burgess) by T. W.

S. -- Indications point to another mild winter in 'this Province, Black flies in clouds, buttercups, dandelions, and August blossoms are report- ed from country districts of Hali- fax County. At Fall, River, An- trim and Meagher's Grant, black flies never were so numerous as at present, Rabbit fur is still brown and shows no sign of an early turning ot the usual white winter coat. Squirrels, hunters say, have not stored a winter supply of beach- nuts and this act, together with the scarcity of these nuts, is re- garded as another indication of an open winter Bears are still roaming the woods instead of set- tling down to their winter sleep.

The effect of stream-lining is noticed, and also the new iront end, with doors in hood, single- siece bumper, double tie-bar, dual homs. [n the lower picture is shown the instru- ment panel. Notice the free - wheeling control button. It is announced that the 1932 Chevrolet engine is 20 per cent. greater in power and there are many ather mechanical improvements, the chief of which is the combination of syncro- mesh transmission with simplified free- wheeling for the first time in any car as standard equipment, Ontario Gold Mines Advanced by 1000 Per Cent in Twenty Yea: Ontario gold mines, within the past twenty years, have enlarged their annual output a thousand times. From a production of some $42,- 000 gold in 1911 output has expand: ed to over $42,000,000 during the current twelve months, Many things have contributed to the record growth of gold mining in Ontario. These are summed up in the statement of Thos. F. Suther- land, acting Deputy Minister of Mines for Ontario, whose long and intimate association with the indus- try lends impressive weight to his opinions. "Conditions at Porcupine Kirkland Lake, to which camps credit is due for Ontario's perfor- mance, are as close to ideal as it is possible to get, No other gold min- ing areas in the world have the same all-round advantages," saic Mr. Sutherland to The Northern Miner. Without minimizing the difficul- ties and discouragement met with by those responsible for the early development of the two major gold camps of Ontario, or withholding any of the credit due them for their success in overcoming such difhicul- ties, in looking back it is safe to say that both camps seem to have been born under lucky stars. Cobalt was at the height of its silver boom when Porcupine and a little later Kirkland Lake were dis- covered. Cobalt had been accorded world-wide publicity, it had caught and held the imagination of more than one continent. Cobalt had di- rected the favorable attention of the world to Ontario's mining possibili- ties. Thus Porcupine and Kirkland Lake came along at a time when en thusiasm toward Ontario mining was high, when public attitude had been changed from apathy to ex what you mean is 'good-bye'." citement and the taste for mining IROL RRR TNL REN NUDED VOLVER A Save in Your Christmas Gift One of Canada's finest makers of high quality Dorothea Hats bought all his stock of underwear, gowns, pyjama sets, dance sets, vest and bloomer sets--at ridic- iously low prices.

The hardness of the rocks makes underground work ings largely self-supporting, requir- ing a minimum of timbering, Tim- ber, where needed, is abundant whereas on the Rand it has been necessary to go in for forestration through the planting of eucalyptus trees, which take ten years to de velop into a usable size. Orebodies, for the most part, have been com- paratively wide and dipping at steep angles. Stoping widths from twen- ty to forty feet are not uncommon in the North while at the Hollinger there have been stopes one hundred feet wide. | This makes for inexpensive min- | ing as compared for instancé to some of the narrow scams worked by the Rand mines, which: barely offer miners of small proportions el- bow room. As depths' closely approaching a mile are being approached geater provision is called for from the standpoint of ventilation but in this and its associate, underground tem- perature, Ontario gold mines are more favorably placed than mines in other ficfilds closef to the equator, In the latter excessive rock tem- peratures have created serious prob- lems, Working Conditions Ideal So far rock temperatures under- ground even in the deepest of the Ontario goyl mines have not be- come troublesome, This is ex- plained by the fact that although the gradient in most parts of the world is fairly constant at an in- crease of 'seven degrees for cach thousand feet of depth, Ontario mines, because of their lower mean temperature to begin with, 33 as against 60 on the Rand, are given the benefit of a virtual handicap of about 4,000 ft. In other 'words, when Ontario mines reach 10,000 ft. in depth they should have the same rock temperatures as the Rand at_6,000 ft. By contrast in the Kolar gold- fields of India underground temper- atures of 115 degrees are not un- ustial while in the Ruhr coal region at 3,000 ft. 111 degrees is registered with an increase of one degree for every fifty feet of depth. One rea- son for the preponderance of native labor in the Rand mines' is that whites cannot stand the under- ground temperatures. Favorable working and living conditions in the Ontario camps combined with a high wage scale has attracted the best type of work- men. The contract and bonus sys- tem make for efficiency and this is increased by the extent to which Ontario mines are machined.

SPEEDING UP MAIL SERVICE IN EUROPE Letter Fee Between Lon- don and Paris 8 Cents London.--It is now possible to expedite air-mail transport be- tween London and Paris so that from the time of posting in Lon- don, to the actual delivery in I'aris, the total time occupied-- including ground connections as well as the aerial journey from Croydon to Le Bourget--is only a little over five hours. Three- quarters-of-an-hour are saved by the establishment, which has just been effected, of a new sub-Post Office in the Airway Terminus, adjoining Victoria Rallway sta- tion, London. Hitherto, late letters intended for the air-mail to Paris which leaves the London air-port at 12.30 p.m. daily have been ac- cepted at the General Post Office up to 11 a.m, after which they have had to be placed in bags and sent to the Airway Terminus at Victoria to catch the passenger- car for the Croydon air-port which leaves at 11.45 a.m. But with the sub-Post Office now at the Airway Terminus it becomes possible to post a late letter at this new office up to within a min- ute of the departure of the car for Croydon. Those who thus save thgee- quarters of an hour in the late posting of urgent letters also have the advantage that the air sched- ule between Croydon and Le Bourget has been accelerated by 15 minutes, the time occupied in the 230-mile flight now being on- ly 21-4 hours. Thus, with the new postal facilities at Victoria, and with the faster air-liners; it means that a letter posted at the last available moment in London, and leaving by the 12.30 p.m. air- liner from Croydon, is delivered in Paris shortly after 5 o'clock that same afternoon, a total sav- -- ing of approximately one hour as compared with previous sehed- ules, The cost " gending an ounce letter from 1don to Paris by air, including the air fee as well as the ordinary charge, is eight cents. Twelve years ago, when the Post Office entered into a con- tract for the carriage of mails on the London-Paris route, the fe® was 60 cents. The advantage of having a Post Office at the Air- way Terminus at Victoria applies also in the case of lata letters for the Indian and African air mails. The ajr-liner with the African and Indian mail now leaves Croydon each Wednesday at 12.30 p.m. and it is possible to post late let- ters for this outgoing Empire Ser- | vice up to within a minute of the departure of the connecting ear from Vietoria at 11,45 a.m. The same applies also in regard to the departure from ('rYoyvdon each Sat- urday, at 12.20 p.m., of the aire mail to India.
