Within a mile of _ the siding Phil had come upon him, eg beside the track in despair of aching human aid before he col- ened completely. He had been badly hutt in his fall from the train, and aside from these injuries his hans were swollen and covered with dirt and his shirt ripped open in front, eel es neck and chest smeared with blood where the blackflies had bitten him severely.

The average person, who hag not the time to take up this extensive study, but whom the stars interest as he gazes up at them on a clear night, is usually bewildered if he tries to dis- tinguish one from the other. As. an aid to the amateur astronomer, a star map has been drawn which shows the stars of the first five mgnitudes, and the different constellation groundings. The stars of the first four magnitudes, and the lines showing the constella- tion groupings, are marked with radium sait, thus making them shine at night. - --- [Minard's 1 Tanent Used is Peskin 6a : ; { © the act!

His warning .as to the evil effects of heavy taxation in stifling industry and enterprise is one that will be cordially endorsed by all thinking men, and one which those who direct our public affairs surely will not dare to ignore. And Sir Vincent merits public thanks for ihe courageous way in which he dealt with the railway problem; in particular for his uncompromis- provement can be expected in the present burdensome conditions so long as the reads continued uwun- der public--which, as he said, means political ---ownership and operation.

It is on the purchasing power of the products of cur natural re- sources that we must place our main dependence for a revival in trade and it is obvious that there can be no sustained improvement until the price of other commodities are commensurate with that pur- chasing power. Summed up, the most obvious needs of Canada at the present time, in the opinion of these two eminent financiers, are drastic economy in the conduct of public affairs, a solution of the railway problem cn the basis of private as against political ownership and operation, a vigorous immigration policy for the peopling of our waste spaces by diverting to Canada the stream of immigrants that formerly fiowed elsewhere, and deflation in Bread made of clay, grass and moss, e victims of the Russian jng epeciaration that no marked im-' the cost of labor.

PROGRESS. One Magnet Recently Did Work in Seven Minutes pin on. one of the greatest factors in in- dustrial progress? The' origin of the electric magnet is a romantic story, and one which is a tribute to British brains and en- deavor. It was at Sheffield, in 1902, that the first really successful lifting magnet was produced. To-day they are in use in all the great workshops of the world. The trouble occasioned in stacking steel rails, girders, and similar arti- cles led a Sheffield firm to start ex- periments. They sought primarily a means of saving time and labor, and various prominent engineers set to work to: solve the. difficulty. Some- one thought of the magnet, then a toy. It had been tried before without suc- cess, but that was no reason why an- other attempt should not be made with it. Energies were thereupon turned in this direction. Undaunted by Failure. Each attempt at harnessing the magnet, however, proved unsuccess- ful. There was always some flaw, which eluded the inventors up till the jast moment. Time and time again failure had to be admitted. Then at last an appli- ance was devised which, under the name of the "pot" magnet, was brought into use. Here, again, suc- cess was only partial, but in this case the fault lay not so much in the idea --indeed, this idea was the basis of the later successful models--but rather in the design. Soon afterwards another model was produced which had the desired re- sults, and after considerable experi- 'menting was brought still nearer to perfection. And as the years passed, more and more improvements were brought to bear until, finally, the up- to-date and efficient electric magnet of to-day was produced. The electric magnet, of course,. is different from the magnet as we know iH. The latest type comprises a cir- cular piate known as the bumping- plate, formed of non-magnetic and extremely strong and durable metal. Manganese steel is the best medium for this face plate, and it takes ail the bumps, jars, and shocks caused by the magnet coming into violent con- tact with the load to be handled. Electric energy is induced by means of coils. More Powerful Than Explosives. The feats performed by some of these magnets are wonderful, and very great weights may be lifted with ease. An instrumem weighing only 15 cwt. itself is capable of lifting -a load of eight tons, while at a recent de- monsivation a steel plate on which were twelve workmen was quite com- Bee ens Which Had Occupied Four. that one fhe this or "would Hacous fortably raised. As for quickness, one magnet recently was found to do in seven minutes work which had oc- cupied the time of four men for five hours. 3 : But perhaps the datest wonder associated with the "magnet is its power of reducing Yulk to scrap, a process which in the past entailed much time and labor. What the magnet does is this: It lifts up a great ball of solid iron or steel, and when this has been. raised over the material which isi to be scrapped, the electric current is | trousseau : certain finer points. bloga off api the bel} 'descends | hin | the objects! If a hen can be persuaded to get up early in the morning she will eat more food and lay a greater number of eggs during a season than another hen that is not an early riser. The hen does not get up or go to bed by the clock; she relies upon the sun. Im the winter time, therefore, her working day is short. This, for the reason above men- tioned, is disadvantageous from the farmer's point of view, especially when it is considered that winter is the season of high prices for eggs. Hence the idea of using electric lights in the hen house to furnish an artificial daylight in the late fall and winter, turning them on early in the morning, and thereby inducing the unsuspecting pullets to get up and attend to business. The plan has proved a great suc- cess, and many enterprising poultry- men have adopted it with much pro- fit to themselves. The electric lights are turned on about November 1, the total allowance of daylight, real and artificial, being fourteen hours. That is enough. If the lights are run too Jong, the~hens will produce well for a short time and then will begin to molt. The artificial light- ing should be discontinued about "April 1, but not too suddenly. It is desirable that the electric lamps shall be hung from the ceiling in such fashion as to illuminate the entire floor of the henhouse. If any parts of the floor are not illuminated, the hens will go to sleep in the shadows. Elaborate experiments in this line have been made at the New Jersey Agriculural Experiment Station, in. New Brunswick. Results have proved that electric lighting nearly doubles the production of eggs during the period of high prices--far more than paying for the cost of the lights and extra feed. Furthermore, the arti- ficially lighted fiock is healthier In one experiment, 500 unlighted pullets made a profit of $3.20 apiece, while 500 lighted hens earned $5.07 each. When an evening lunch was given, the profit rose to $5.48 per bird. The cost of operation was slightly less than four and a kalf cents per 'hen. An increase of a single egg paid it. a > Marriages for money, say scientists, are bad, of course. In France every girl is expected to bring her dot. That business-like arrangement helps to ex- plain France's falling population: In England, as Galton shows in his book on heredity, great families have died out because the men of the family have selected rich girls.
