THQ1(SDAY. SEPTTEMBER 6 1917
BY THE USE OF THE GAG,
N. R. deal was put through
Parliament by the application of clo-
sure, with a gtajority of sixteen votes.
The debate was marked by a great
deal of plain speaking. and the Gov -
eminent was given plainly to under-
stand that its candidates at the forth-
oowing election will have to explain
and justify the measure before the
electors. One member pointed out
that Mackenzie and Mann had already
received in cash grants, land grantor
and guarantees an equivalent of three
hundred and seventy millions of the
people's Money. Yet the Government
now propose,. to purchase, at a pos-
sible cost of fifty or sixty millions.

closure could 1* explained only by the
insistence of the Bank of Cid rte
group and declared that the measure
should be entitles "an act for the r-lialf
of the Bank of Commerce." Mr. H. R.
Bennett., formerly Solicitor -General in
the Borden Government, termed it
"the most daring steal ever et tempted
on Parliament."
The hill now gnaw to the Senate, in
which the Government. has a Nruall
majority. The Senate would do much
to justify it* existence if it. would
throw out the bill, but this is almost
tau much to expect of it

FINDING WATER IN DF_$ 11IT.
Natives of Materialism Dry Lands Are
Amazingly Rr.ourcetd,
No man wLo has not mastered the
last subtleties of bushcraft should
penetrate alone the western dry
lands of Australia. A Canadian
woodsman would find nothing lit his
experience to enlighten him. A North
American Indian would perish of
Ignorance. A Bedouin of lbw sandy
Arabian deserts would die helpless.
Australian bushcraft 1s peculiar to
Itself. It concerns itself leas with
killing the crawling desert life for
food than with divining the where-
abouts of water in a land that le as
dry as a brick in the sun.
In the midcontinental deserts,
when sun and dry winds ruck the
moisture from deep in the ground
and all the world runs dry, the ab-
originals draw water from the roots
of ,mall desert trees by cutting them
Into abort lengths and letting them
drain drop by drop into a wooden
bowl. But there may be no water
trees or the roots may shrivel and
dry up. What then'
'Ah, well," said the bushman,
"they do with what they have."
"What have they?" I asked him.
"They lick the dew from ire
leaves and grass!" 1t Is related by a
celebrated Australian traveler, Bald-
win Spencer, that, having come In a
dry season to a dry clay pan, border-
ed with withered shrubs. his com-
pany was amazed by an exhibition of
aboriginal craft. There was no
water, no moisture within miles, and
the clay was baked so hard to be
penetrated at alt it must be broken
with a hatchet. A keen native guide
presently discerned little tracks on
the ground—falntest indication of
life, apparently—and, having hacked
into the clay to the depth of about
a foot, unearthed a spherical little
chamber, about three Inches in dia-
meter, in which lay a dirty yellow
frog. It was a water -holding frog
and it was distended with a supply
sumcient, perhaps. to enable It to
survive a drought of a year and a
half. And the water was pure and
fresh. Being heartily squeezed,
these frogs may yield a saving draft
to lost and perishing travelers\
"Find a black fellow." said\ our
bushman, "and you'll get water,",
"What if the aboriginal V obdur-
ate?"
"AS, well, 1f he won't tell," the
bushman explained, "you rope him
by the neck to your saddle. When
he gets thirsty he'll go to water right
enough!"—Norman Duncan -
The New Woman Soldier.
The woman soldier of to -day Is
not as Innovation. There have been
several in Belgium. One of them
served almost her whole time of
military service towards the end of
the reign of Leopold I. she was
called Julia Petit, and came from
Hainaut. she enlisted somewhat
mysteriously for her brother, who
had probably drawn a bad num-
ber, for military service. General
Q—, who twenty years ago was
in command at Moo/, would some-
times recall the elrcumstagaces. Be
had known her under the name of
Jules Petit when he toot command
of the regiment. This girt was an
excellent soldier, active, devoted.
dtaciplined, readily carrying Out any
task. Because of her slim form
and delicate features her comrades
nicknamed her "kiddie." It was 1n
hospital that, after two yews, the
fraud was at last found out. Julia
died of congestion of the lungs.
which she had caught during the
military manoeuvres, when, being
overheated, she had drunk water
from the fowatale.
Well known In a different sense 1s
the name of Marie ScheWlack, from
Ghent, to whom Napoleon I. pre-
sented epaulettes and a military de-
coration on the battlefield. it was
neither fraternal piety nor self-lo-
terest, nor a taste for a military
career that led Marie 8ebellltick to
take up arms, but the almptect and
greatest reason --hove. Marie 8chel-
linck took part In numerous battles
and eadared the worst hardships
without a murmur, happy in the part
that she was playing and feeling
quite sefaeieotly repaid by the tact
that she could bear the voice of the
master of the world, and could con-
secrate la his service the ardent bet
discreet Same of her love. She
stands out as a beautiful and pare
figure. She has, moreover, enriched
by her expiate dramatic literature.
A writer ham staged In her honor a
drama, "For Love of the Emperor,"
which was performed 14 Belgium
with great memos.
