And this is an important feature for the private investor. Tine is, of eettree, speaking comparatively, for Se many cages Otte feature is not con- tingent, owing to the relatively small amount of the mortgage, .and therefore of the intereet payments, We have learned in the general talks on investment 'which have appeared in this column that, other things being equal, a high return cu an investment im- plies wveaknees in some of the other four points. In the cafe of farm mortgages the iaafety of principal is sure: but that of interest is doubtful, But this is not alone enough to cause the high yield cf 8 per rent., evhieb they usually return, 'f'here is absolutely no prospect of a mortgage appreciating in value. Its face value is fixed and rhe amount loaned . is always the par value of the mortgage. In. cane of ,a bone', however, or eliares in a, sound company there is always a chance for the investment to increase in value during the time the investor holds it. In this tray he may increase his capital: For instance, several sound issues of pub- lic utility 'bonds could have been bought within the last ten years at a price around 90, which may now be sold at par, Iivin investors an increase' of ten per cent, in their capital during that time in addition to their regular interest. In the ease of a mortgage this is not pos- sible. So, as there must be some reward for lack of this feiiture -there is neces- sarily a higher return on the amount in- vested. There is another feature, however,' that most investors would consider more of;a drawback, 3f they took the trouble to go into the matter-whein investing in mort- gages of guy hind -in an enlightened way. Most people, when investing, place their money in a security with the feel- ing that some day -perhaps beforeits maturity, wvhen a bond or a mortgage they may require td realize on the amount so invested. In the ease of a mortgage, However, this can be done only. with the greatest difficulty, and then only with luck- Pew people are willing to buy a "second hand" mortgage except at stibstantial discount from its face value. And even then there is often no one look- ing for that sort of an investment,; and so its sale may require a very long time to effect. So the element ot weak marketability is an important feature to be consider- ed in the case of mortgages.. In the case • of most negotiable scene tiles -tl;at is g)iarec and bowls that can be tr:ausferred rejt:.liupt tev.vsiler-there is almost always a Lives of Twenty Others in Danger at West Toronto Hotel.

The attention of our readers is called to an advertisement, in an- other column, of the Aladdin Mantle Lamp, which. burns ordin- ary coal oil and gives a more bril- liai.nt light than either gas or epee- tricity. It is another triumph for node,rn inventive genius that must be seen to be fully appreciated. I?', 1:NCIAL STA TE31ENT. Dominion Reven;lc Increases Nearly Eight Millions in Sit 3Loaths.

I went over to Victoria, as I said we were going to. We went by the C. P. R. st amO r e e "The Charmer," t0 Nanaimo. We. had a fine view Of the Ilattor and the chipping. Steamers from Clrina, Japan and. Australia come in to the wharves from which we started and unload their foreign burdens, there. I noticed the Empresa of. ,Iitpan lying at the wharf with sheet metal disks hung over her hawsers to prevent the rots coni- ng ashore from her, and bringing the bubonic plague with their, One of the things which I was surprisedto learn coulee iu by boat from Australia is hardwood, as that Is almost as scarce as lien's teeth in. this province,.'They might import potato bugs, too, as I ant told there are none here at all, On our way to Nanahuo we passed tugs towiug barges: deeply laden with coal. from the mines at Nanaimo. Tlris stuff is dear iu 4 aueouver. Though they say it costs only 52.50 a ton to raise it to the pit's mouth, it is sold for 57,50 a ton in Vancouver, and it is soft coal at that. Hard coal, is 510 a ton. We stayed over night in Nanaimo. It is as ugly a place iii brick and mortar as you, can very well imagine, though there are ono or two pretty spots. One ,.of these was a , rugged hill 'reflected in a placid pool. On the brow of the hill were growing gnarled arbutus trees, with their smooth red limbs.`The bark of this tree sloughs off, and leaves the red under - bark exposed to view, Altogether it made quite a picture. At night we visited a moving picture show. and found that this place is in the "thriller" age as regards moving pictures. Next morning we ran down by rail to Victoria, and we saw a good deal of bush along the way. We were at Victoria shortly after noon, and directly' after dinner took the street car out to ' Esqui- malt, about twenty minutes, or half an hour, away. Here, in a beautiful land- locked basin among the rocks we found H. M. C. S. Rainbow There is a dry-dock here, and a marine railway on which great boats can be drawn out of the water for repairs to their bottoms. There were quite a number of boats lying there at the time of our visit We took' a boat and rowed about the harbor, circling the Rainbow. We were very interested to see it because it is the only Canadian .man -o'. war, which is still in commission, the Niobe having gone ashore: Another very interesting ship that was lying in the harbor was the "Restorer." The duty of this vessel is the repair of submarine telegraph cables. We were told that it has not been out of the harbor in three years, but it is always kept there with steam up ready to leave on a moment's notice if anything happens to any of the cables in the Pacific. Next clay we spent in and about the. capital of British Columbia. I was very much impressed by the Legislativebuild- . in s which are of noble -proportions and are built of white stone. Their architect was a young fellow in his early twenties. They are 00 the merge of James Bay, and the C. P. R. boats tie up at the edge of the water that you always see in pictures of this pile. With the new Empress Hotel in park -like settings they make a notable group of buildings. Victoria, as everybody says, has not the bustle of Vancouver, but it has' a delight- ful charm as a place of residence. Its business streets aro very fine, a couple of them being a hundred feet in tviclth and flanked by modern structures. The Chi- nese quarter in Victoria is on a much better scale than in Vancouver, and while passing down the street that is lined with Chinese dwellings -.s and stures, with Chi. nest things in the windows and strange Chinese vegetables in baskets on the side-. walk !ust at the doors, I saws quite a Chinese curiosity, This was a Chinaman tvitlr a .white pig -tail.

The ceremony of in- stallation, which was performed at the Parliament Buildings in the Legislative Council chambers, was exceedingly simple, but was none the, less fraught with great mean-, ing and impressiveness. Three oaths of not more than fifteen words each were all leis Royal Highness had to subscribe to. They were ad- ministered by Sir Louis Davies. senior Judge of the Supreme Court. The oath of allegiance to his Ma- jesty the King, the oath that he would well and truly exercise his office as Governor-General to the best of his knowledge and ability, and the oath that he would safely keep the Great Seal of Canada - these were all. and after each was read to him his Royal Highness reverently kissed a copy of the Holy Scriptures.
