Exoeil'ent motor highways are uni

To-day Montreal is one of Canada’s

Scotland's great ciectrfnU scheme,
by which it is proposed to concentrate
generating plants within ten, and
eventually sin, stations, instead of
forty-two, a?, at present, ir, rtgard^
as one of the most important develop
ments since the industrial revolution.
Thu project, takes in practically tha,
whole of the industrial belt, covexing
an area of about square miles
and affecting more than S,700,WO of
the total population of b^IllO/MO. It
will take ten years to ccinpiete it, and
the cost will be in the neighborhood,
of £6,0Ws0Q0.
The shutting down of the smaller
and less efficient stations and the
interconnection of those better locat
ed and better equipped should react
to the benefit .of the consumer in pro
viding cheaper power. In other
countries, and particularly in the Un
ited States, this policy has yielded
highly satisfactory results, so that
there is no reason why it should not
prove equally beneficial to Scotland.
Indeed, kfere has been in recent years
a decided trend toward a closer inter
connection of electric power systems. -
What effect this electrical develop
ment will have upon the future in
dustrial situation is a matter of con
jecture. People of authority are
credited with the belief that it is upon
such development that the prosperity
of British industry will rest. While
this statement is perhaps farther
than many people would care to go,
the possibilities of electrical energy in
helping to remove the depression
which has "marked shipbuilding, coal
mining and enginereing in the past
few years are conceded to be immense.
There is also the additional consid
eration that ths project will tend to
disperse the population rather than
congregate it in the^ towns, in con
trast with the opening up of coal
mines around which large factories
clustered.

“CANADA”
We Canadians may well be proud of
our country. Less than four hundred
years ago Jacques Cartier raised the
Fleur-de-lis at Gaspe, thus claiming
the land in the name of the King of
France; but he little dreamed of the
vast territory that stretched away to
the Pacific. Until the coming of the
English the St. Lawrence valley and
the Maritimes were the only settled
parts of Canada. To-day she occupies
more than half a continent. It has
been said that she covers so much sur-
fee that all the climate® of Europe are
found within her borders. True, only a
narrow strip along the southern edge
has been brought ‘ under cultivation
but each year this strip grows wider
and wider.
In Ontario and Quebec where the
fertile soil end® the rich mineral lands
begin. This source of wealth has been
lying for centuries just beneath the
barren surface yet its discovery is
comparatively recent. Canada now
'supplies ninety per cent, of the nickel
and cobalt used in the world, as well
as eighty-five per cent, of the asbestos.
She ha® been known to Europeans
for almost four hundred years yet the
most of her growth hast been made
during the last fifteen decade®. With
the] coming| of| the) United) Empire
Loyalists her era of progress dawn
ed. These people, loyal to their king,
left comfortable homes in the re
volted colonies1 to come to Canada,
then an almost unknown wilderness.
Ontario owes its beginning to them.
Under the early British rule the Gov-,
ernment of Canada was quite as des
potic as it was during the French
regime. The “new subjects” as the
■French Canadians were called were
well satisfied with this system, having
known nothing better; but the “old
subject®*-’ complained continually, for
they had absolutely no share in the
government. However, with the
Loyalists' there came a change. Owing
to their agitation the Constitutional
Act, which gave a measure of self-
government, was passed in 179}.
Grudgingly the unbroken forests
gave way to tiny clearings. By slow
degrees good waggon roads were built
and school® and churches were opened
up. These were few and far between
and many people grew up with only
the rudiments of education. Large
numbers could not even read or write.
To-day there are fine school systems
in all the provinces' and education is
free to every one.
The Constitutional Act did not end
the struggle tor self-government. In
1837 a rebellion broke out in both
Upper and Lower Canada. This- was
easily put down but it had the desired
effect of arousing the British Gov
ernment to the needs of Canada and,
on the advice of Lord Durham the
Union Act was passed in 1840. Still
the Bitai^ggile flor reialiy Democratic
Government went on until1 a scheme
evolved in the minds of far-seeing
statesmen. The British North America
Act was passed in 1867 and four prov
inces, Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick were united under
the name of Canada. From that time
on the growth of our country has1 been
almost miraculous. At the time of Con
federation the population was about
three and a half mifllions. On. this our
Sixtieth Anniversary there are more
than nine and a half million people.
The population ha® been almost tripled
in little more than half a century.
Canada has always had an abund

M, Binet uttered a gross laugh, a
queer mixture of cynicism and con

“I have given nothing,” said Cli-
mone, indignantly.
“Ah! Then the jewel is in the na
ture of a payment in advance.”
“My God, mar., you’re not decent!”
M. Binet jrotested.
“Decent?” Andre-Louis’ smoulder

Binet such a fulmvnation of contempt
that the old scoundrel shifted uncom

you purely in your own1 interests to

“I am well able to consider for
myself, and to decide without advice

“And now you’ve got your answer,”
chuckled, Binet. “I hope you like it.”

rolled to a standstill; a footman ap
peared at the door.
“To the Theatre Feydau,” said he.
The great traveling carriage drew
up at the lighted portals of the Fey
dau, and M. le Marquis stepped out.
He entered the theatre with Chabril
lane, all unconsciously to deliver him
self into the hand® of Andre-Louis.
In the interval after the second
act, Andre-Louis sought the dressing
room shared by Polichinelle and Rho-
domont. Pblichinelle was in the act
of changing.
“I shouldn’t trouble to change,” he
said. “The piece isn’t likely to go
beyond my opening scene of the next

He was gone. Rhodomont stared
