age of "the Rittenhouse faun" at
Jordan Harbour in the Niagara peu-
insula. Originally it was met, so
much so, inked, that oiten the crop
were scarcely worth. cutttng. In 1906
Mr. M. F. Rittenhouse of Chicago
gave it to the Government for an
horticultural experimental farm. In
1907 it was underdrained, the lines
of tile being laid about four and a
half rods apart. In many. places the
subsoil was very, very heavy, so that
the digging WaS hard and' the cost
high, about $25 an acre. In 1908 on
the part that was formerly the wet-
test it grew 65. bushels of oats to the
homey acre, thereby practically paying for
d the the drainage in one season; for, the
house year previous the oats on the same
borne land were net worth cutting.

The Pose of a ligpocrite.,
(Toronto Telegram.)
"I think I'll have to vote, for Whit-
ney after his speech in the House yes-
terday. He is a man.'
The words above 'quoted were utter-
ed this morning by a Scotch Piesby•
terian Liberal, who had read the
Globe and followed its teachings
through the long years of his sojourn
in Canada.
Sir James Whitney has refused pub-
ic cash or credit to the Sudbury -Port
Arthur hue of the Canadian Northern
system. His offer is accompanied by
the offer of 4,000 acres per mile—all
mineral and timber rights reserved by
the Government—or 2,055,0.00 in all
as a land subsidy to the builders of
the proposed 500 -mile line through the/
clay belt.
Ontario catches a clear vision. of all
that it is good to 'Sir James Whit-
ney's refusal. The eyes of the fair-
minded people are not blinded in the
dust raised by the Globe's kicking
heels. Through the noise and tumult
I of the organ's braying voice, the Pro-
vince can catch the accent of fidelity
to principle in the straightforward,
clear-cut words of Sir James Whit-
nchitis ney.

down Ontario in the process. L Ontario.
is the centre and heart of the Caned-.
ian Northern system. Mackenzie and
'Mann have to help this province in
order to help themselves.
1 Ontario contrasts the Globe's ap-
probation or toleration of lavish
/grants of publ:c land, money and ere -
1 dit to systems that were far less -ben-
eficial to this province than the Cana-
dian Northern system. The Globe
held up both hands for the Federal
subsidy that largely built the Crow's
Nest Pass Line for the C. I'. R.,. and
thus paid the plate that British Col-
umbia exacted for the delivery of its
coal lands to the Globe outfit. The
Globe is ready to cheer for a federal
loan of $10,000,000 to build the prair-
ie section of the Grand Trunk Pacific.
The extravagances of a Laurier are
the Globe's ideals. The principles of
a Whitney are the Globe's abonlinae
gen.
Contrast the atrocities whichi La.up-
ierism has originated and the Globe
has applauded. with the transaction
which Sir James , Whitney .outlined
and the .Globe condemned. The re-
sult of such contrast reveals the Glolag
as a hypocrite rather than a patriot,
The Daylight
Bill ILETTER FROM A FORTY-NINER.
The proposal to save daylight in the
summer time by Act of Parliament is
a simple one, entailing only a change
of time pieces, in April and October.
• En the summer -time it becomes light
• al3out four o'clock in the morning, and.
dark about nine o'clock at night. The
average man in, the towns and cities
rises about seven o'clock, works from
8 to 6, and retires about 11. Of the
5 !hours he devotes to rest and recrea.,
tion, three are daylight and two dark-
ness.
Under the new system, the clocks
would be moved one hour ahead. The
average man would still rise at 7, ac-
cording to his clock—though it would
really be at 6. His work wota'd be-
gin an hour ,earlier, and for his re-
creation time he would have four
hours of daylight, instead of three.
Exactly the same amount of time . as
at present wou7.d be spent in work,
recreation and sleep. The effect of
the bill is to steal an hour's daylight
from one end of the day—where it is
spent in bed—and add it to the other
end, where it, is spent in healthful re-
creation. The total saving of light
would be on the average, 153 hours a
year.—K incardine Review.

BURNSP.SiN INJURIES 1
Zam-Buk is used by eminent
doctors in serious cases, is applied
to the gravest cases of eczetnit
and blood -poisoning, and is widely
used in the Army and Navy. BUT,
Zam-Buk is just as useful for cuts,
burns, and bruises, sustained by the house-
wife in the kitchen, as for the serious wounds
sustained by the soldier
Children, too, like Zam-Buk, because it 'stops
the smarting of a cut, or burn, or scratch, so quickly.
Zam-Buk combines the "Doctor" and the " Instirance Co."
Applied to a cut, a barbed-wire scratch, or a Wound filled
with dirt or dye, it kills all the poison and diseaSe germS,. and
" insures " you against all danger from blood -poisoning. At
the same time, it stimulates the cella to rapid action, and
heals the injury in quick time.
Zam-Buk cures eczema, stalls -sores, ringworm, eruptions,
festering sores, blood -poisoning, open wounds, bolls, absCeaSes,
varicose ulcers, and all diseaSes of the skin and tissue.

Detectives Buy Liquor For Indians In
Cornwall,
Cornwall, April 12.—An unusual
Police Court case was tried, here on
Saturday, when a local hotel man
was charged with, selling or supplying
liquor to Indians on seven different
occanions. The complaints were laid
by two young men in the employ of
the Indian Department, J. A. Robert-
son of Ottawa and 0, A. Ramsay of
Vats, who were in town for a week
or so posing as insurance agents.
The first charge, that of selling to
an Indian named Jake Angais, was
proven on the Indian's own testi.;
mony, and a fine of $100 hallooed, In
the second case, serving liquor to
Peter Beck, it transpired that Beck
went into the bar with the detectives,
who paid for his liquor, and who
drank with him. The detectives ad
-
retitled going in with the Indians and
buying them liquor, and thereby
haiags the sequel of this tale.
• The hotelman was fined $50 and
costs for supplying liquor to Beck,
and after the defendant's counsel had
threatened to have Robe,rtson and
Ramsay prosecuted for buying liquor
for the Indians, the court atourned.
Later on, all the other cases were
dropped.

Avvaiting Royal Birth.
The Hague, April 12.—The birth of
an heir to the throne of Holland is
confidently expected the coming week,
and if all goes well, .the outburst of
• popular enthusiasm will be such as
has seldom been witnessed among the
placid Dutch. There has been no
royal birth in the Netherlands since
that of Queexa Wilhelmina herself 27
years agp. •
Thrice before, since the marriage of
"Little Wilhelmina" as the Holland-
ers affectionately call the Queen,
have the hopes •of the country been
raised only to be cast down again.
're eonstunt fear of the Dutch has
been that the House of Orange would
die out with a childless sovereign,
and that Holland would pass Under
the rule of a German prince, and
would thereby possibly become a Ger-
man vassal state.

That the attraetion Of the Nab and

wean, but bas a eorreePandlut
inU-
8000 on the solid earth itself, has
now been defluitely proved by Dr. O.
Hecker, a Prussian phytdclat. A quar-
ter of a century ago Professor 411
Darwin concluded that there mat be
tides in the solid earth as well as in
the fluid seas, but he was anal* to
detect them, and. his only conclusion
was that the earth's mass was Very
rigid—at least as rigiel as steel, Dr.
• Meeker now confirms tine conelueloo,
but with his improved instruments
and methods he has been able to de-
tect and measure the amount by which
the moon pulls the solid earth out of
shape twice a day. Dr. Becker's meas.
Urereents, Which lasted eentinuously
More than two year, were to ascer-
tain the lunar influence on the earth's
gravity by observing the oscillations
a a delicate pendulum, It was by
comparing his results with the figures
as calculated for e rigid earth that
he was able to detect the tidal de-
formation caused by the pull of both
01600 and sun. Dr. 1:lecher's pendu-
lums were a complicated series of
bars joined together, and they were
installed In a specially designed brick
lined room seventy-five feet below the
ourface of the ground, where the tem-
perature remained practically constant
at about 12 degrees centigrade, or 54
degrees F. A continuous ,reeord of
their position was kept by means of
photography. Working here daily
from December, 1902, to May, 1905,
.tiecker carried oo the laborious series
of observations that have now estab-
lished the existence of lunar and solar
tidal •waves in the solid but flexible
mass of tie globe,—New York Her-
ald.
Lost—A French Colony.
The government of France has, mis-
laid a colony, and the government of
Mexico has found it. It is Clipperton
island, a little isle in the Pacific ocean,
10 degrees north and 109 degrees longi-
tude west. It is one of a large group
of islands which are visited periodical-
ly by a French warship. Some thee
ago, when the warship visited the is-
• land, the French sailors found sol-
diers there in Mexican uniform and
the Mexican flag floating serenely over
the island. The Island Is directly east
of the mouth of the Panama canal,
which gives it a certain amount of im-
portance. The matter has been placed
in the hands of the French foreign of-
fice, and "communications are pend-
ing." The warship discovered that
the French government bad !mislaid
the island two years ago.—Harper's.

Saving an Ancient Fresco.
It -is not only in England that

much as, they like. An Interesting
Story comes from Hal. Thechurch is
under restoration, and the workmen
came across traces of a fresco. Its
existence had been unknown, and, ac-
cording tc, the plans, the ,plaster was
to come away. Fortunately a towns-
man knew a process by which the
plaster could be taken off intact on
canvas. He obtained permission to
make the experiment, and it has been
carried out with success. He is said
to be now the possessor of a valuable
fifteenth century painting. The 13rus-
eels museum authorities have learned
of the existence of the painting, and
• they are endeavoring to prevent the
alienation of thisl,interesting work of
