SUPREME SECRETARY'S REPORT.
The Report of the Supreme Secretary
was an elaborate .document, and gave
a detailed statement of all receipts and
disbursements since the last meeting.
Among the interesting information ob.
tallied was the fact that simie the Chi-
cago meeting two years ego, the MINI-
ber of High Courts had increased from
21 to 28, and the number of Subordin-
ate Courts from 1,480 to 2,1.00 and the
membership from 50,847 to 80,765
The deaths during the past tero years
have been 681. The amount paid in
Death and Permanent Disability claims
in the past two years is $609,317.87.
The Sick and Funeral Benefit de-
partment showed marked prosperity,
and in it are enrolled about onethird
of the membership. During the past
two years $101,118.00 had been paid in
Sick and Funeral Benefits, leaving the
surplas to the credit of this department,
on the 1st of July, $62,189,00. When
it is remembered that four years ago
this fund was in debt, the adequacy of
the rates, and the efficiency of the
management are apparent. The S.
Secretary closed his report with an elo-
quent tribute to the ability of his col-
legues, and a grateful acknowledge.
ment of the courtesy shown him by All
with whom he had to do.

SUPREME PHYSICIAN'S REPORT'
Dr, Millman, Supreme Physician
gave an exhaustive and interesting
summary of the work in his depart-
ment. It showed that, for the eighteen
months ending December 31st, 1894,
the number of applications passed was
31,570, for insurance amounting to
$89,169,000.00. For the same period.
there had been rejected, 3,073 applica-
tions, representing insurance to the
amonut of $3,883,500.00. The causes of
rejection are given, the principle ones
being history of consumption, for
whieh 613 were rejected, and. heart
complications,for which 416 were re-
jected. Intemperance was the cause
of the rejection of 376. The average
age of the member is only 34.82, as
compared with 35.31 for 1893. The
death rate has been remarkably low,
5.47 per 1,000.

Natural Scenery- in the Province of
Quebec described by au Advocate
Correspondent.
Editor Advocate
It may not be out of place to give
goer Western readers some idea of the
mountain scenery peculiar to this part
of Canada. The Lauren dans, as is well
known, are among the principal moun-
tain ranges of British, North America -
the others being the Rockies, towaecls
the Pacific coast, and, part of the Alleg-
henies which extend from New Bruns
wick and run in a south-westerly course
as far as Alabama. The Laureutians
he north of the St. Lawrence river and
extend from Labrador on the Atlantic
coast ,in a due westerly direction to the
extreme boundary of Kewatin. They
are among the oldest formation in the
world, and belong to the Cambro-
Metamorphic deposits which lie directly
above the granite formation; and they
correspond, it is supposed, to the first
day's work 3f creation given in the
Mosaic narrative. They contain the
fossil remains of the eacliest kuown
called by Sir William Dawson,
Eozoon, Their contents, have been ex-
amined by the late Sir Roderick Murchi-
son, by Dawson and by other well
known geologists; and when viewed
under a powerful microsope they pre-
sent the appearance of insects without
the organeof vision. From the fact that
it has been inferred that, being the old-
est known fauna and without eyes, they
must have appeared. on the stage of
creation when (as the Mosaic writer in•
forms us) "darkneVs was upon tlae face
of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters." It is
reasoeable to suppose that had these
early animals been formed iia period of
light, theyewould have been provided
organs of vision -similar to their succes•
sore at a late stage, such as the trilo-
bites and other animals of the Silurian
period, when light dawned. upon our
planet. Some peaks of this lofty Lauren-
tian range Of mountains extencl to a
great height -one (Cape Diainond) be-
ing ,e9,000 feet, and and another,(Cape
Tourment) being 26,000 feet above the
sea leyel. There is a peculiar grandeur
above those lofty mountain ran bees, and
they carry one's thoughts bacleto Him
who framed the everlasting hills. Thus
we are invited to "look from nature up
to nature's God," and to diseern the
"God of our fathers." Could they but
speak. those everlasting hills would
furniAti iisitK a-hietery of this planet
far more Ancient than that of the remot-
est nationof antiquity. The question
naturally presents itself to an inquiring
mind, how and when were those moun-
tain ranges formed? It would be use-
less to speculate on such a subject, but
the most plausible theory seems to be
that suggested by my fellow country-
man, Sir Wm. Dawson, who thinks their
formation is attributable to the shrink-
age of the earth's surface while under-
going the process of cooling from its
original incandescent state. It is now a
pretty well established faet that this
plannet was at one time an immense
mass of molten matter much larger in
size than it now is, and that when the
earth had so far cooled down so as to
allow the process of evaporation to go,
on, and water to form on its surface, a
shrinkage of our globe took place in
which there was a crumpling up (so to
speak) of the oldest and earlier forma •
tion, causing by the joint action of fire
and water such mighty convultions of
nature as to throw up into their present
position our principal mountains -such
as the Rockies and Ander;'the Lauren -
dans, the Himalayas, the Ural and oth-
er chief mountain ranges. Of course
this would imply a =eh greater lapse
of time, in the past history of our plan-
et, than was once considered to be the
probable age of the world. Sir Wm.
Thomson, one of the most eminent
scientists of the day, has ventured the
opinion that from 60 to 100 millions of
years probably elapsed between the
first formation of matter and the era of
man. Even supposing such an opinion
to be well founded, it does not necessar-
ily conflict with the Mosaic narrative,
which allows room for an indefinite
period of time between "the beginning"
of creation and the. modern era; nor
does it conflict wtth the usually receiv-
ed popular idea that this world has ex-
isted for six thousand years or more.
The facts of science go to favor the
opinion that naan has existed for only
3 about that period of time. We k.now,
3 both from geology and the Bible, that
man was the last created animal; and
The S. C. R., read his report, a leng-
thy and able document From it we
giye the foliowiug facts: -
The address began by a grateful ac-
knowledgement of the kindness to the
Order and its members of the Supreme
Ruler of the Universe. It said that
since the last meeting, two years ago,
the membership had increased over
30,000, being now 80,765. The sur-
plus had increased $636,000.00, and
now stands at $1.381,890.72. The pro-
portion per member has been steadily
increasing, and is now $600 per mem-
ber more than it was five years ago.
Reference was made to the decision of
the Supreme Executive to invest a por-
tion of the surplus in the Foresters'
Temple, which will in future be the
Headquarters of the Order. The cor-
ner stone of what will be the most im-
posing fraternal building in the world,
was laid on May 301h, by the Governor
General of Canada, the Earl of Aber-
deen.
Reference was also made to several
proposed amendments to the Constitu-
tion, among which were the striking
out of sections referring to the expect-
ation of life benefit, and increasing the
rate between 45 and 50, and the holding
of triennial sessions, and the admission
of women tnto the order. The Su-
preme Chief Ranger closed his report,
with a grateful acknowledgement of

It is noticeable that all along the
foot 0g the Laurentians--at least on
the river St Laurence, are, 'to be seen
settlements of Frencti habitants, who
cultivate the soil up the slope of the
mountains; but so high do the hills ex
tend that probably the foot of roan never
trod their highest peaks. They appear
to be well wooded throughout, thus giv-
ing. timber and fuel to the inhabitants
dwelling at the foot of the mountains; as
well as being a place of resort for fur -
bearing animals -which, however, are
fast diminishing in number. The chief
rivers flowing; down through this mema
tain range are the Saguenay, the
Montmoreuci, St, Charles. etc, -in most
of which the scenery is very grand.
The falls of Montmorenci, which are
only some six miles below Quebec city,
are from fifty to sixty feet higher than
the falls of Niagara -though not nearly
so broad capacious; and their vast
volume o1. water is supplied from Lake
St. John and Montmorenci river, Cape
Trinity and Cape Eternity are among
the natural features of grandeur at the
mouth of the Sag,ueeay. This is one of
the many favorite resorts for tourists in
the summer season; and. to accommodate
the sight seeing public, six boats ply
weekly between Quebec and.Saguenay.
With such facilities, and with the cheap
excursions now- on to various points east
as far as the Maratime Provinces, no one
need be at a loss to know where to
rusticate or find a suitable "outieg.."
Any one reading the Daily Star, of
Montreal, will notice the vast exodus of
tourists and pleasure seekers that find
their way at this season to the various
summer resorts along the St. Lawrence
Their name is legion. Owing, however,
to the varied and delightful scenery
along the line of the Intercolonial-and
the piscatorial attractions presented to
tlae disciples of Isaac Waltan on the
Metapedia and other rivers flowing into
the Gulf of Si. Lawrence -the rush of
tourists every year is tending more to-
wards New Brunswick and. the extreme
east of Quebec Province, where salmon
fishing is so abundant. To a lover of
sport, the capture of a good sized
slamon or sea trout is more exciting
than the latest novel. No wonder that
the Americans of Boston and New York
make an annual visit to these far-fam-
ed fishing grounds. to enjoy the un-
speable pleasure of securing a few doz-
en of this king of fish. But I find my
letter is exceeding due- limits, and
therefore must pause for the present.

RESULTED FATAL. -This community
has been greatly shocked over the
death of Mr. Cornell Switzer, a well
known and highly respected farmer, of
the 2nd. concession, who died on Fri
day last after a few days of intense
suffering caused by the butt of a male
sheep. It seems on the Tuesday of his
death, Mr. Sweitzer went out tu feed
the sheep and while so doing the ram
made a desperate lunge at him, and
before he could get out of its way he
received a terrible blow in the side,
which resulted in bursting one of his
intestines. It was thought at one time
that he might recover but inflamma-
tion set which soon resulted in his
death The funeral took place on Sun-
day and was largely attended.

according to the now generally ad-

lowing greater latitude for the era of

The stone men discovered in different
places give evidence of high cerebral
development, quite subversive of the
Darwinian theory of evolution through
a long period of ages from a lower
species of animal --and quite compatible
with the more generally accepted theory
of tnitn's recent appearance among the
race of animals. It is now becoming
more general among scientists to admit
the modern period of man's existence,
as compared with his predecessors in
the scale of creation; So that in every
way the Mosaie narrative, evhich at one
time was discfedited by many scientiste
as being contrary to aSeel tabled facts 10
geology and in paleobtology, is once
more resuming its Troper place both as
