Railway Sleeping Car. Submarine Cable. Teleâ€" phone. Standard Time. _ First Practical Electrical Strect Railway. Marquis Wheat. Insulin. With one political party using as a slogan the words, "Give Canada a Chance," and attention _ otherwise specially directed to things Canadian, it may not be out of place to consider some of the things that Canada has given to the world. A recent article by Lyman B. Jackes in The Toronto Satâ€" urday Night will surprise even some Canadians in this regard. It should have wide publicity in this Canada of ours. It is constantly being pointed out that a certain neighbour of Canada extols its own national gifts and virâ€" tues too highly, and by the same token Canada may be accused of not "tooting. i‘ts cwn horn‘"" enough. As an antidote to thoughts like these The Advance herewith pviblishes the article by Mr. Jackes, as follows:â€" "If the greatness of a nation conâ€" sists in its contributions for the betâ€" terment of mankind and the general, physical progress of mankind, rather than in the accumulation of vast visâ€" ible wealth: then Canada is truly great. | During the past hundred years Canada has made so many contributions of outâ€" standing merit and genius that it would be difficult to find a similar reâ€" cord of such achievements in searching the history of any other nation or ccuntry on the face of the earth. In the early years of the ninth century during the raipd, rise of the Arabian empire some wonderful discoveries were made in Bagdad in the realm of chemistry but this blaze of Arabian discovery lasted only a few years. It petered out and Oriental trends had run their course. In Canada the inventive and pionesrâ€" ing spirit into the realms of science have continued with a a well ordered regularity that not only leaves a proud record of the past but which also auâ€" gurs well for the future of scientific research in Canada. "The story commences in the year 1833 when a group of gentlemen of Halifax and Quebec decided to conâ€" struct a steamship of such dimensions and power that it could cross the Atâ€" lantic ocean. The ship was built near Quebecâ€"to be exact at Wolfe‘s Coveâ€" where the armies of Wolfe had landed and scaled the heights in preparation for the battle of the Plains of Abraâ€" ham. The boat was named the Roya: William in honour of the reigning sovereign of the day. The engines and boilers were built and fabricated in Montreal and she crossed the Atlanâ€" tic, from Quebec to a British port in seventeen days, including a stop for coal at Pictou and a short stop for mail "The success of this venture brought forth several attempts at long distance steam navigation but the art did not make much progress until the year 1844 when Canada made a second contriâ€" bution that forever sealed the doom of the proud sailing ships whose captains snorted insults whensoever they passed ' or were passed by a "floating teaâ€"ketâ€" tle." "In the year 1844 a little ship callec the Reindeer commented to ply on the | St. John river in the then colony otl New Brunswick. There was something‘ very different about this ship from any that had previously been built. Beâ€" tween 1844 and 1848 shirfuilders from anmnany parts of Europe and the Unitedi States came to view this smooth workâ€" ing ship that operated on so much less fuel than anything then known. At last the secret leaked out. Benjamin Tibbits, its designer and builder had invented the compound steam engine. Up to this great invention all steam engines had been of one cylinder deâ€" sign. The steam was generated in the boiler, led into the engine, acted on the piston head once and then escaped. This required a tremendous amount of fuel and the problem was not made easier from the fact that fresh cold water must be continuously added to the boiler to keep up the water level. The engine that Tibbits built with his own hands (in Canada) may truly. be called the commencement of the era of serious steam navigation. It was so wonderful that by 1849 none of the forâ€" mer type were built and put into ships. Without getting too technical I will try and explain just what Tibbits had done. In studying the older types of engines he discovered that the escaping steam from the one cylinder type still had power and he decided to use it. Inâ€" stead of allowing it to escape, he diâ€" rected it into a second cylinder and made the same jet of steam turn the engine over twice. Then instead of alâ€" lowing it to escape into the air he G:â€" "nd passengers at Halifax. Amongst the passengers was Samuel Cunard, at that time a resident of Halifax and cne of the ownsrs of the shin. He was on board as an observer and out of his chservations grew the now famous Cunâ€" ard line. The Royal William crossed th2 Atlantic entirely by slieam power without a sail being unfurled, She was Canadian made and Canadian financed and she was the first vessel to cross the Atlantic under steam power. rected the exhausted steam into conâ€" denser, brought it back to scalding hot water and led the hot water back into his boiler. Lest the name of Benjamin Tibbits be forgotten amongst the great men of the world the Federal governâ€" ment have erected a memorial plate to his fame and it may be seen on the Marine Building in the city of St. John, N.B. There is aa tablet to the memory of the pioneer who built the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMIN3, ONTARIO Royal William in the Parliament Buildâ€" ings in Ottawa and it is consoling to feel that the really great men of Canâ€" ada‘s past are not forgotten. "Just about the time when the exâ€" citement of the compound steam engine was at its height another citizen of St. John discovered that it was pussible to make paper from pulp obtained from spruce fibres and strange to record the same discovery was made by a citizen of the town of Napanee, Upper Canada ({now Ontario). Specimens of the first wood pulp and the early trials at papler making have been preserved by the Napanee Historical Society. "In 1857 Canada presented the world with the idea of the railway sleeping car. The reader may <be inclined to think that G. M. Pullman was the inâ€" ventor of this great convenience. It is true that he started making sleeping cars in the United States in 1859 but samuel Sharp was making them in Hamilton for the Great Wesilern Railâ€" way two years ahead of him. They ran from the Niagara River to Windâ€" | sor. Sharp was the masterâ€"mechanic of the railway and produced his sleeping cars as a solution to the problam of | why people did not travel as much by } night as by day. wWay ran sor. the "In the year 1880 F. N. Gisborne, who was manager of the Nova Scotia telegrarti system, laid a submarin?: telegraph cable of his own manufacâ€" ture across ths floor of the Straits of Northumberland and connected Prince Edward Island with the system. This was the first successful demonstration of submarine telegraphy in the history cf the world and predated a simillar event across the English Channel by several months. Gisborne next comnâ€" nected Newfoundland by means Oof a cable almost ninety miles in length. The success of this cable convinced him that Ireland could be so connected with Newfoundland and it was Gisborne that gave Cyrus Field the idea of the Atlantic cable. Field was the man who found the money but F. N., Gisborne, the Canadian from Nova Scotia, was the designer and chief engineer of the project that telegraphically connectec North America with Europe. "In the summer of the year 1874, Alexander Graham Bell spent the vaâ€" cation with his father in Brantford, Ontario. He was working on a device that would better enable him to teach deaf children to talk and stumbled across the basic idea of the telephone. A local photographer cut and suprlied the thin iron diaphrams for him out of tinâ€"type photographic base and a very rough model was constructed but the finished instrument was made during after school hours in Boston. Bell brought his finished instruments home and connected them to the telegraph wires between Brantford and Paris, a distance of seven miles. They worked; and Brantford has since been known as the Telephone Cityâ€"just a modest way of telling the world about another great contribution made toward the progress of the world by Canada. "In the year 1879, Sir Sanford Flemâ€" ing made @ mathematical proposal that has since affected the entire civilâ€" ized world. This was the invention of standard Time. Prior to the wonderâ€" ful‘ plroposal of this great Canadian, the rapid extension of railway service which had been carried through since about the year 1850, had thrown the subject of time into chaotic condiâ€" tion. Time had been reckoned as mean time, or from a noon decided upâ€" on as that moment when the sun was directly overhead. The Fleming proâ€" position was that the earth be dividec into twentyâ€"four time belts, each of fifteen degrees in width and that the be the same throughout each belt. The time belts were to be advanced one hour in an easterly direction. So much interest was aroused by this sugâ€" gestion that the United States governâ€" ment called an international conferâ€" ence on the subject in Washington and Sandard Time, a Canadian invention, became law in almost every civilized country in the world, "In the summer of 1883 Canacga demonstrated to the world the first practical electric railway. It ran in Toronto and connected the then grounds of the Canadian National Exâ€" Under and by virtue of the powers contained in a certain mortgage which will be produced at the time of sale, there will be offered for sale by Public Auction, on Tuesday, July 22nd, 1930, at the hour of 2 o‘clock, in the afterâ€" noon at 32 Third avenue in the Town of Timmins by E.‘ C.

The actual motor had been built by Edison in Menio Park but could not get it to work in a satisfactory mannor. John Wright who was afterwards generai manager of the old Toronto Eleciric Light Company bought the contrapâ€" tion from Edison and had it shipped up to Toronto. Mr. Wright had a power house operating in conjunction with the old Toronto World near the corner of King and Yonge streets. Like early electric trains Edison had to gc: the current to the motor through ths tracks and a third rail, The Toront railway pioneers itvented the overhead wire and the trolley pole and the ra.: way became one of the wonders of th: world. The story shifts next to Ottaw3 where Thomas Ahearn was trying <. induce the citizens to take an interes!{ in electric street cars. A partnershiy was formed under the name of Ahearn and Soper and they got their cars on the street by the autumn of 1891,. The first cold snap of the following winter brought out one of the greatest surâ€" prises in Canadian industrial history. The cars were all heated by electricity. Thomas Ahearn had invented the elecâ€" tric hsater. Engineers from numerous points over North America came to ses this latest wonder and the Ottawa inâ€" ventors invited them to a dinner in the Windsor hotel. There they prepared for them a sumptuous repast and every item had been cooked by electricity in a stove manufactured for the pur;se in the hotel kitchen. Incidentally this was the first demonstration of electriâ€" cal cooking in the history of the worid. The date is April, 1892. "The achievements of Dr. Charles 1. Saunders and his associates in Ottawa in developing Marquis wheat is a taie almost too well known to require repetiâ€" tion in this list. It is perhaps not genâ€" erally known that the same exper:â€" mental farm at Ottawa has since proâ€" duced two wheats, named Garnet and Reward, which are even more wonderâ€" ful than the farâ€"famed Marquis. "For a number of years Prof. J. C McLennan,. of Toronto University, carâ€" ried on a number of highly technical experiments on the mineral waters of Canada. In 1915 he presented the Briâ€" tish Government with his scheme for producing helium gas in commercial quantities. During the great war the demands on the power houses at Niaâ€" gara became so great that a power famine threatened to curtail the output of war materials. Up to that time the largest dynamos at Niagara had an inâ€" dividual unit output of thirteen thousâ€" and horse power. It was a group of Canadian engineers (in Canada) who designed the world‘s first superdynamo â€"a monster that gave out fiftyâ€"seven thousand horse power and of which the moving parts weigh over four hunâ€" dred tons. This was followed by the discovery of insulin at Toronto and next came the great demonstration of a radio receiving set that would work in a satisfactory manner directly off the lighting mains. The story of Canâ€" ada‘s gifts toward world progress is one that should be more widely known." MUSKRATS NOW FIGURING IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS Ottawa despatches this week, suggest that the ordinary Canadian muskrat, a familiar gentleman to most Canaâ€" dians who know much about the forâ€" ests and streams of Canada, is now taking a place in the general news of the world. Recently there has been special mention made in news advices from different parts of the world, apart of course, from fur market quotations. The muskrat has always had place in the fur market news, whether under his own or a more highâ€"sounding title. From Norway comes the advice, via the department of trade and commerce that the Norwegian depiairtment of agriculture has decided to maintain its prohibition of the importation of the rat in any form except of apparel. It is stated that muskrats, when allowed to pass the immigration inspectors have caused considerable damage to crops and forests, besides undermining certain public works in their attempts to set up housekeeping. The public works in question are dams and railâ€" ways which apparently have been weakened by the Canadian rodent in his daily peregrinations. But lo and behold! Scotland knows a good thing when it sees it and has sent out a call for 20,000 Canadian muskrats of the finest type and colour. The only joker in the Scotch demand is that they don‘t want the beastie on the hoof, but only want hide. Pracâ€" tically 90 per cent. of the fur coats made in Scotland today are of muskrat skins and the popularity of this type of fur is steadily on the increase.
