No parallel to Canada's rapid de- velopment of her natural resources can be found in the history of any With other country ,in the .rori d W 1 her vast, rielles and especially with ' her agricultural possibilities; ties; w it h a overn m ent policy in force for over government enty-live years y which an actual iettler could obtain a free grant of i - o 160 acres of the richest grain-produc- ing ra II pruc- d ing and stock -raising land in the world, to be selected out• of an area If tacres, hundred million a s, it can with difficulty be believed that barely 1,800 petsons, or less than one- tenth of one per cent. of the number that could have found homes on those fertile western prairies, actually set- tled there in 1696. The fact is that up to that year the West was practi- cally an unknown region. Since then, or within the past twelve years, the number accepting the offer of free land has grown until the total for the past ten years is nearly 270,000 persons who took up free homesteads offered to actual .settlers. These entries re- present forty-five million acres taken. up for development by farmers from Eastern Canada, the United States, Eu- rope, Britain and Continentalku- rope, The Canadian West is no longer in an ex,ri cutal stage. Its fertilitylilt Y as a grain -producing country is now established beyond question. Its yield during the season just closed, al- though not yet exactly known, is es- timated by the best -informed to be nearly four hundred million bushels of grain, of which one •hundred and twenty-five million bushels are wheat. The population of the West is fully a million and -a quarter, which is six or seven times greater than was the population of twelve years ago. During that same period fruit -grow- ing in the West, and particularly in British Columbia, has developed won- derfully. Where there were then less than one hundred acres in orchards, there are now one hundred' thousand acres set out with apple, pear, peach and other varieties of fruit trees. The Yukon goldfields have been dis- covered and one hundred and twenty million dollars. extracted from the gravel in the valleys of Bonanza, El- dorado, Hunker, Dominion and other streams in the Klondike district. The silver deposits of Cobalt during the past five years • have proved enor- mously rich, and millions of dollars have already been taken from' those rocky hills, which contain perhaps the- richest known deposits in the world. " The great iron industries of Great Breton and Northern Ontario have come into existence; showing vast possibilities for the future. ' The discovery and development of seemingly illimitable coal area is ho less astounding. With the open- ing up of the West and the on -coming 'of the tide of . settlement in the prai- rie provinces, whose supply of wood - fuel . is limited to a comparatively small area, comes the discovery of de- posits estimated by competent auth- ority to contain sufficient fuel to sup- ply the West for thousands of years. With these discoveries. behind` us, •who• can foretell the discoveries ot the future? 'So far only the fringe of our resources has been touched. While this development of our nat- ural resources has been going on, changing the whole aspect of the coun- try, the expansion of , our manufac- tories and commerce has made steady progress. Our railway mileage has increased thousands of milesof s by new line's. in every. part of tile' Dom- inion, and our shipping has grown eiteernously,. • The Canada of . twelve years ago can scarcely be recognized when compared with the .

Finally, my best. friend was the oc-. nasion of my suffering a fractured thigh, ,and curiously enough, he sus- tained the same injury at my hands later on. But it's all in the day's work."

The actual height at which the last stone of that famous structure, the tower of Rabel, rested cannot, on ac- count of the remoteness of the times at which it is said to have existed, ever become more than a matter of merest conjecture. Herodotus, who lived about 1,700 years 'after that "great' spiral way to heaven" Is said to have been attempted. says that he saw at Babylon a structure consisting of eight towers • raised one above an- other, each seventy -live feet in height, but whether this ruin was the re- mains of the tower of Babel it was even then impossible to ascertain. He- rodotus; •usually minutely exact in bis writing, leaves ua in ignorance as to how the upper level of each of these seventy-five foot towers was reached from the level below. • As might be expected. even in tra- dition, a wide difference of .opinion ex- ists as to the b'eight of the tower. Most orientalists'nlaintain that God did not tower• to t work anti put a stopthei the bad reached a height of 10,000 fath- oms. or about twelve miles. InCey- lonese tradition it is said to have been as high as 20,000 elephants. each standing one above the. other.

Other statements are still more extravagant -Loudon Sat- urday aturday Review. Happy Events. A teacher in one of the public schools of Vienna in orderto test the ability of her junior class—girls eight to nine years old—in 'composition writing gave each little • miss a subject to be dis- cussed "at once without consultation and without help of any ,kind." The articles were found to be so interest-. fug and amusing that they have been collected for publication. One article on "My Three Happiest Days" is nota- ble in the unique collection: In well chosen words and clearly rounded sen- tences the little girl says that, being lost in the woods. having to run away from a tire which broke out in their house and watching a little boat as thewind tossed it on ,the waves and finally smashedit, were the most "bap- py.events" that sbe could think of.

A SURPRISE FOR MARETZEK. 1t Came ata Time When Max Was Broke and the ° Sheriff Had Levied Upon All His Stage Properties—Mme. Marotze h ks Thanks to the Carpenter,. Iq the old days in New York city, before -there was a Metropolitan or a Manhattan Opera House and when the center of the theatrical world was. around Fourteenth street, Max 1►laret- zek and Strakosch were prominent at the old Academy of Music, There was a keen rivalry between them. Stra- kosch had Nilsson, and Maretzek was exploiting p ng Dl blurska, By some error of datesbotb were booked for New York at the same time. Strakosch wets at the A.cademy and Maretzek, having closed a poor season elsewhere, bad halted In New York before going to Philadelphia and secured a week at the Lyceum theater on Fourteenth street Zhere were strong bills at both places. Each man- ager had his friends, and the bill- posters hada busy p ofitAround of bills for one company was no sooner posted than the rival billposter cov- ered up the poster with the rival com- pany's sheets. At last, for the matinee too Satur- day, bilis at both houses were sudden- ly changed, every vacant fence place plastered over quickly, and with a pelting stortu in the morning the man- tigers began to put out "paper" to•rll the houses. Alfred Joel was the busi- ness man for Maretzek and an adept at "papering" when necessary. With a bouse packed from parquet to gal- lery Joel had counted the boxes, found only $100 in the house and announced it to Max when fhe curtain fell be- tween the acts. This was serious to Max. The ever ready money lender who had "put up for him" had a lien on the box office. a sheriff's officer was in waiting ou the stage, and it was a question of re- plevin before the properties and cos- tumes could be liberated to follow the company to Philadelphia early nest inom, "'Welting, Alfred," quietly said Max, "1 guess I'm used to trouble. But there is a good. big house anyway!" Then. turning to bis wife, who was the harp- ist of the orchestra, he clasped both her bands, kissed her and remarked:. "Let your.. fingers do. their best. 1 want to hear you. play, It does my heart good, you know, even when there's trouble." ; There was bustling after per- formance.. formance.. Legal talent was at a pre- mium, creditors were obdurate, every- thing that was supposed to be Maret- zek's was temporarily in "bock," and Mme. Maretzek In tears. with longing looks at the harp she valued. • The scene of negotiations was trans- ferred asof erre to thegreenroom just the i d j )Beers making the lery were searching formore, and when their backs were turned the old Stage carpenter hurried. Mme. Maretzek away, then called her back again five .minutesafter and pointed to the orchestra. • The harp had disappeared. Clearing out everything on Sunday morning. while, the boxes of properties were be- ing taken ` away, Max and his wife stood in the center of the darkened stage. Both were crying. The instru- ment tbeyvalued mosthad been taken from them. Other things had been liberated, but no harp. and with a scene of grief thatno others than themselves could have appreciated they ,Yore silent. . • • Then Old Man Guernsey stood be- tween them and waved his hand above them into space. '!'here were a creak- ing of pulley wheels, an injunction. from the Carpenter to "look out for Your beads,' and, lowered from above, came Mme. Mareizek's harp, landing on: the stage between them. "Now you've .got it again, get it away • quick!" ' said Guernsey. "Stop crying and be thankful. '!'bat's all." He moved off without waiting for thanks: and a pathetic scene with Max and tile wife closed the incident. '1'o .them the harp was as a part of them- aelves. .'1'o lose it was more thou a misfortune, and In a broken voice the lady called the carpenter back to her. "Please let the harp thank yon."

MOBBING 1 G HYPNOTIST. rhe Man With the Magnetic Eye and His Manager Had to Flee. • The recent troubles of a traveling hypnotist in Glasgow recall an epi- sode in Toronto in which students played no part, but in which a travel- ing hypnotist fared badly. Years ago. --emilli before Hanlan's Point became a wild- erness of shows and a large area of land it was a sall breathing space with a white -washed hotel, a few trees, a wharf, and a showman in the person of Julius Caesar Connor, a native of Whitby, Ont,, and since deceased. Connor looked like the imaginary likenesses. of Artemus Ward, which figure in old editions of that humorist's works, and was proud of the fact that he had never worn a necktie. He maintained that for a man with a chin whisker a necktie was superfluous—that. it was, so to speak, gilding the lily-. Although the showman, he was in reality the show; for though he used to employ enter= tainer', they were not nearly'so enter- taining as his own speeches in intro ducting. then'. On ono occasion he introduced a strong wonuin of vast . dimensions With the words, "The little lady will now lift a hawse." And she did raise a hefty beast. Hypnotism was then the craze, and Connor found a hypnotist and a "sub- ject." The .performer was advertised as a marvel unequalled, and after the first performance it was seen that his entertttininent was manifestly the thinnest kind of a fake. It was not even funny. The same crowd used to go over to the Point every, night, and at the second performan;e they went ar.riod. As the 'unequalled marvel reached the climax of his performance an i g'z struck him, Connor jumped to the platform. I will give ten dol- lars in real money for the name of . the men who threw that aig, he cried. Hardly were the words out of his mouth .when another egg struck: him square on the left cheek. The hypnotist, in the meantime, decamp- ed,who had nothing cul, and the crowd a o g against Connor followed him. • They chased hiva on board the steamer, and hid. in thoughe a dark ' he tried to corner, they rooted him out of there and made him take refuge on top of the paddle -box; where he maintained a precarious • position - all the ' way across the bay.
