ganancque faded in the distance once during the night we woke to see the crescent moon rising the color of a golden orange swinging low in the sky and casting a long trail of light across the water again at dawn we looked and saw the red light brighten in the east and the moon now silver shining above it in the morning we steamed through the cornwall canal we could see the river flowing along side nearly all the way its calm blue water broken sometimes by foamy rapids the canal ran between fields fenced in with poles laid crisscross forming an angle every few yards so that the line of the fence bent sharply all across the fields the locks were very trim witii green lawns and flow er beds ablaze with color the long journey across thre thou sand miles of ocean up the st i-aw- reice to montreal and thence by train to gananoque a thousand miles from tlo sea was nearly at an end with the bell clanging the train moved slowly through the- streets ot tho little town and stopped at the wharf we had reached the point where tho st lawrence is ten miles wide and a row boat carried us out into the lake of the thousand islands to sagastaweka the home full of sun shine where we were to spend the summer it is a thickly wooded island standing high in the water on one side red granite cliffs catch the sun light and in the middle there is a little valley where the golden rod grows shoulder high and tall silver birches shine radiant against the coudless blue sky days spent among the islands are like rainbows which have spilt their colors over the world morning of gold and green and blue evenings when sky and water glow with rose and yellow and amethyst i have never seen sun sunsets the water eatchas the rays of light and plays with them shifting and twisting and blending the colors while the islands deepen into shadow and the trees stand out black against the sky nearly every day there was a mir age like a chain of little islands flung r cross the horizon and on one strangely beautiful evening it linger ed after sundown its outlines clear as before its color dimmed to mistblue against a flaming sky when the night ws very still sky and river were full of shining points of light the islands mirrored in the water and in the starlight the trees and their reflections merged into one on such nights we used to go out in a canoe glide into the open where there was no sound save the rhythmic al dripdrip of water from the pad dles or push through shallow chan nels where the silence was broken by the swih of reeds and waterlily pads or the whirr of a heron rising from tc rushes the days passed all too quickly in roving sailing canoeing picnics on the island and swimming sometime red indians came to offer us baskets made of sweet bay or birch bark or porcupine

every nationality during the british industries fair in london and birmingham which provided an unique opportunity for home and overseas buyers to see the produce and manu factures of canada and eighteen other empire countries or groups of coun tries canada participated in the fair in a very large way not only did she have a well filled stand in the empire mar keting board pavilion hut she also staged a large independent exhibit in the empire hall just outside both these displays were thronged with home and foreign buyers early and late during the whole duration of the fair and were also eagerly besieged by the general public whenthey were admitted in the evenings tasting the atractive looking canned fruits seems to be very popular both with buyers and public tomato juice also was eagerly sought after another feature that attracted much attention was the fine display of cereal breakfast foods there were many enquiries for these from wholesale buyers apples al ways figured largely in the canadian exhibit and here too attracted many buyers to the stand canned salmon canned sweet corn and maple syrups were other products much in demand interest in tho fair was world wide

latest offerings of science world free trial offer of soap suds for fire great est ocean depths gold on the rand why docs water put out fire that water is wet is no answer at all theoretically water ought to be de composed into its constituent hydro gen and oxygen in fact this actually does happen when fires are very hot if water is effective at all in putting out ordinary blazes it is because it cools and ifeeause it forms a cushion of incombustible steam which smoth ers the flame by shutting out the oxy gen of the atmosphere water and oil do not mix hence the hopelessness of putting out a flam ing oil tank with water the jil simply floats and supplied with oxygen from the air not only burns on but carries the fire elsewhere a heavy blanket must be spread over the oil flame so on american tank farms a blanket of froth is used a kind of lather two foam solutions are kept on hand to be pumped separately through twin pipes to mixing chambers on the oil tanks or to portable devices one solution consists of water and alumin ium sulphate and the other of sodium bicarbonate liquid foaming extract and water when the two liquids mix there is a rapid effervescence the bubbles that rise are filled with car bon dioxide gas one of the most effective fire extinguishers known the uam oats on liquids and sticks to walls and ceilings when even a dry wooden wall is thus coated the fire cannot be reignited until the foam breaks down if this method works so well in the oil fields and the refineries why should it not be equally effective in putting cut burning houses reasoning thus british fire chiefs experimented at a convention which they held recently in london harrow firemen looking as if they had been lathered fom head t- foot and standing in suds showed what might be expected when froth is directed against a fire instead of mere water a very little foam com pound was needed to put out an ex perimental blaze blake deep bartsch finds greatest known sea depth reports

adding more than three miles to older soundings in blake deep which lies north off puerto rico the actual depth measured by dr bartsch now proves to be 4400 fath oms or 20400 feet blake deep still

gold on the rand there seems to be little doubt now that geophysical prospecting methods really have discovered the extension of the famous gold reef on the rand oi south africa this witwatersrand has already yielded over four billion dollars worth of gold since its orig inal discovery in 1886 for years hildrjii in the schools of south africa have been taught that the witwatersrand was merely the northern rim of a great basin of gold none knew where the southern rim would be found or how deep the basin went into the earth the cause of the trouble was a geological fault near the neighborhood of witpoortje at this fault the gold reef disappeared last october faint rumors reported that the extension of the witwaters rand had been found forty miles be yond the known fault those rumors have turned out to have been authen tic the discovery is credited to dr k krahman who was graduated re cently from charlottenburg univer sity berlin using geophysical meth ods and a mngnetmcter which detects changes in a magnetic field dr krahman started tracing a layer of the mineral magnetite which lay under the gold reef already known he reasoned that if this magnetite lay under the goldbearing ores al ready there it might also be under whatever extension existed following the magnetite layer mile by mile he came at last to the reappearance o gold mining engineers at their recent meeting
