HOMELESS AND HELPLESS.'
A Pen Picture of the Suffering In
Belgiuni.0 '
In the course of an.,articde in the
Nineteenth Century on "Belgium
he War," a record of personal ex-
periences, Mr. • J. IL Whitehouse,
tells of one visit he paid (tow•arda
the end of September) to 'Antwerp
Cathedral, which brought home
with dramhtic force the , sacrifice:
which Belgium was making. ' `'It=
was the hour of the afternoon ser-
vice. Outside was, the... eroavded,
eager life of an excited populace,
finding outlet for its emotion . and
solace for its . fears in communal
intercourse. Inside, the vast con-
gregation was composed largely of
womennearly all of them in deep
mourning. ' Many of them seemed
very old; they wept far -sons, the
little ones clinging to their dress for
fatheats. Their faces, ,beautiful with
the toil and thought of years, were
singularly impressive. . They might
"have stepped from the wonderful
Flemish canvases in the Art Gal-
lery of their city.,
"A few days 'later these mourn-
ing women, old and young,. bearing
in primitive :bundles all that they
couldsave of their household goods,
formed part of the procession from
the city of its entire population.
History itself can scarcely offer a
parelleil to a spectacle so charged
with human •suffering. Five hun-
dred thousand peaceful and unof-
fending inhabitants,' homeless and
helpless, were fleeing into the dark-
ness. From the banks of the
Scheldt amidst flashes of fire they
had what' for many of them was
their last vision of the city of their
birth."

AN
CHAINING ELEPHANT.
. .
w" � � 'T..
How the, Keepers of a Zoo1ogItai
Park Did the w» i . ' -
Although the elephant is; one of
the most ‘sagaoious of animals, and
generally :a model of docility,, it
som'eti'mes ..r
bows freaks of temper;
and on 'account of itshuge strength,
it then 'becomes a dangerous beast
to handle. Harper's Weekly de-
seri!bes a struggle that the keepers
of ,a zoological park recently had
with a. big male elephant. He was
in a wild rage, and ,seemed to be
illi the paint of,breaking away, so
;the .keepers hurriedly decided to
replace; the chain that was attach-
ed to his tusks with a stronger one.
Chains were first fastened to his
forelegs and about his neck, so that
the free motion of his head was
checked. In this condition, the ele-
phant was chained to the front of
the inogosure. It was then found
that one of the clamps .on the tusk
was broken. In order to replace
it, the animal : had to he thrown.
down, and a rope was drawn about
his hind legs.
• This rope was passed through a
block, and .the chains of his fore-
feet being held firmly, . the men
hauled away slowly but 'surely and
drew the elephant's feet from be-
neath him. He :struggled fiercely,
!brut the block and tackle were too
much for him, and he was finally
drawn down upon his haunclies,
after which the chain that held his
right forelfoot was crossed to. the
left side of the inclosure and drawn
taut. The difficulty then was to
roil the animal ,over , on his side.
Several men entered the inclosure
and pushed and tugged at•hine, but
their efforts were without avail un-
til a rope, passed under his right
foot and over his back, enabled the
men to concentrate their efforts.
As the elephant rolled over, the
keeper jumped to his head, and
while he was in this helpless condi-
tion, the men removed the iron
clamp on the tusk, and fastened a
stronger one in its place. -
When the work was done, they
took the chain from the right fore-
foot, and the elephant was .permit-
ted to rise. At a signal from the
superintendent the men .jumped
off. The other ropes were then eas-
ed and the shackles taken•from his
feet.

GURKHAS GREAT. FIGHTERS..
Little Brown Men Happy When
Fighting Is Closest.
"Blood -brother" to our High
landers, and a soldier who becomes

are flying and the steel is flashing,

Gurkhas, who form part of the In-
•dian contingent at the front, "a
rare handful."

deadliness of his aim with a rifle,
and the much -dreaded kukri, his
favorite weapon.
The .Gurkha is never so happy as
when wielding the kukri, a Large,
heavy knife, with a peculiar
shaped 'curving blade, • art close quar-
ters. .With it he can easily cut a
man in two, and, incredible -though
it may seem,,. a, favi rite feat at his
native festivals is to cut off the head
of a bullock with one blow of the
kukri. ,
Close -quarter fighting is his forte,
and his impetuosity to cross steel
with the foe will undoubtedly draw
hill into many a hot corner. The
Gurkha is the Jap of India, hard its
nails, the best of soouts, and a fear-
less fighter. He earned our *nays

A LUCKY FIND .FOR TIIE C.P.U..
A discovery whdeh may mean much
to the Province', of Ontario has been.
madte' at Caledonia` Springs, namely
that the waters of one of the four
springs is strongly radio -active. A
recent visitor, who had hitherto
gone for his cure to the Austrian
resort at Badgastein, was prevent-
ed this year by the war, and trued
the Canadian spring. He was struck
by -the similarity of • the waters,
which, on test, was found to be due
to the presence of radium. The
last official analysis. was made in
1903, before the ramifications of
radium were fully recognized; but
Professor, Rutta'n, of McGill, has
been commissioned to make a new
oom.plete analysis. ' The value of a
genuine radium spring in Europe is
calculated to average from two to
three million: dollars, owing•to the
number of invalids who are attract-
ed to such a spring.

[Will You Help
for.SEck Children the Great
Provincial CEkarity ? --44+-
II
Dear Mr. Editor:
Thanks for the privilege of appeal-
ing through your columns on beha.f of
the Hospital for Sick Children. The
Hospital takes care of sick and de-
formed children, not only in Toronto,
but in the Province, outside of the city.
This coming year, of all the years
in the Hospital's history, hal a more
serious outlook,• as 'regards funds for
maintenance, than any year that has
passed its calendar.
So many calls are being made on the
purses- of the generous people of To-
ronto and Ontario, 'to help the soldiers
of the Empire, that as I make my
daily rounds through the Wards of the
Hospital, and ' see the suffering . chil-
dren in our cots and beds; the thought
strikes me as to whether the people
will as of old, with all the demands
made upon them, answer our appeal
and help to maintain the institution
that is fighting in the never-ending
battle with disease and death, in its
endeavor to save the stricken little
ones in the child -life of Ontario. .
Last year there were 394 in -patients
froin 210 places outside of Toronto,
and in the past twenty years . there
have been 7,000 from places in the
Province other than Toronto.
It costs us $2.34 per patient. per day
for maintenance. The municipalities
pay for patients $1 per patient per
day; the Governmerit allows 20 cents
per patient per day; so, deduoting
$1.20 from $2,34, it leaves the I3ospital
with $1.14 to pay out of subscriptions
it. receives from the people of Toronto

• Remember that every year is a war
year with the Hospital; every day is
a day of battle; every minute the
fospital needs money, not for its own
sake, but for the children's sake. The
Hospital is the battle -ground where the
Aruba of Life have grappled with the
Hosts of Death, and the life or death
Of thousands of little children is the
Issue that is settled in that war. Will
you let the Hospital be driven from
the field of its -battle, to save the lives
of little children for the lack of money
you can give and never colas?
Every dollar may prove itself a
dreadnought in the battle against
death, a flagship in the fleet that fights
for the lives of little children.
Remember that the door of the HTos-
pitai's mercy is the door of hope. and
,your dollar, kind reader, ma.y be the
key that opens the. door for some-
body's .child.,
