Curious Transformation Wrought by Nature's Alchemy. Not so very long ago a curious find was made in one of the copper mines at El Cobra, Cuba. These mines, once among the richest in the world,. were abandoned for a long time on ac- count of the insurrections in Cuba against the Spanish rule. In 1868 the coal supply was cut oft by the insur- gents, and consequently pumping be - m cae impossible, and the mines bee came filled with water. After the Spanish war art American company bought the mines and pro. seeded to pump out the water. In one of the shafts thus made accessible was found what once represented tun iron pickax as well as some crowbgrs.. The metal. in these Implen'le its had, it is said, turned to copper, Exttaordi- nary as this may appear, it din be scientifically explained. The water, filtering through•the rock and the copper ore veins ditigetred. some of the copper, the solutton cotee, taming sulphate of copper: Ars gain as the sulphuric acid in ihleaSedtttion touched the iron it at ogee djesol that metal and deposited copper bits pisco. for sulphuric acid 1?#u! .i4Petthe etifrs t f for iron than tor cop r.

On the anniversary of a Japan boy's birthday his parents present him with a huge paper fish made of a wal- ly painted bag, with a hoop of proper tittneneions forming the mouth- A string is tied to the hoop, and the flab in hoisted to a pole on the roof of the house Then the wind rushing through anuses the fish to swell out to tbe prop- er size and shape and gives it the ap- pe2ranee of swimming; in the air. A. Japanese bey carefully preserves every fish thus given to bier. One can tell by the number of them that swim from the same pole bow many birthdays the little fellow has celebrated.—London Telegraph. Walking. Every inch of every foot is meant for use. When a man walks in the right way, speaking literally, the back of the heel strikes the ground first.. Then the rest of the beef comes down, after which the outer edge of the foot takes the bulk of the burden until the forward movement shifts the weight to the ball of the foot and finally to the toes. The ideal step is a slightly rock- ing motion. &t no time should the en- tire foot be pressed against the ground. Heel to toe is the movement. Try it and see how much farther and more Easily you can walk. It's the Indian's way, and what poor Lo doesn't know about footwork can go into the discard. Her Political Views.

McOULLOUGH, M.D., D,P.B., WEEP OFFICER OF THE PROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEA:I'(1'H. ?s CAREFULLY PROTECTED water supply is one of the first essen- tials in the home, whether in the country or in the town. In the country and small villages supplies are taken almost altogether from wells. Fortunate indeed is the fanner who has a spring on his farm which will yield enough water to operate a email ram and thus supply him with water as conveniently and as plentifully a7 ?f be were in the city. As a rule no great expense le involved In protecting a. well. If the well is properly located the only danger to be anticipated is from matter drop- ping in from the surface. Thie danger cannot be too much exaggerated where the farm buildinga are grouped and tbe well .s not MAHE THE properly protected by fencing from the stock. Especially WELL SAFE is this so when the privy contents are periodical!? thrown, upon the manure pile. It is then possible for the farmer's bots or the feet of the dogs to convey this material: 0 the top et the well. It the top is unProtected, washings from the spout can earry these organ- lams into the of the disease- iams, microttes ed, can live for Wee, probably as weeks, in well sons drinking this time might tract an infee MMuc)i of the typhoid fever a t aummer re the fact that in sewage from the premisea arrives the source of fore the germs discharge or by ItTp • s.o al.M, Vent: Aew't4,corsiofer,slower, well below.

Contracted while sorts Is due to is m e manner b o arding house in the vicinity of water supply be- h ave died, by washings of the rain or by na tural surface drainage, t1 well safe iron 'surface, drainage. t* Persons going to some of the more unprotected summer resorts are, advised to discover for themselves both the source of the water supply and the method of disposing of sewage, and, where either is found to be detective, should heist that it be corrected et once. under threat of their departure in event of its not being done. When the pump is located at the well, the top of the well ahauld be solidly cased in and covered over with concrete, the surface being graded so as to allow the water to run off and not accumulate at the pump. It is cheaper with some of the old wells to line them with 244 inch terra cotta pipe rather than. attempt to concrete the stone work. The space between the tile pipe and the old wall of the well should be Ailed In with sand and gravel taken. from s. place remote from a barnyard or where the cattle have been pasturing. Many of the more prosperous farmers carry pipes from their wells to the basement of the house where they instal a large galvanized iron tank and a, small force pump. The tank is filled from a force pump either by hand, gasoline motor pump, or by electricity, and sometimes by wind -mill. Plumbing can then be laid throughout the house and supplied with water under pressure from the tank, The pressure is derived from a'r win' "h Is compressed in the tanks. It Is not advisable as a rule to put elevated Tanks in the attic. Such a method is very little cheaper, and any leaks or acci- dents will entail a much greater expense than the first cost of installing the pressure tank in the basement. * * If you, have any doubts regarding the quality of your well water, or think that owing to its location, drainage, or seepage from the barn or barn- yard is reaching the bottom of the well, you bad TEST THE WATER better apply to your local Medical Officer of Health for a water -sampling outfit, or write directly to the Frovincial Laboratories, No. 5 Queen's Park, Toronto. They, upon receipt of request, will forward the necessary glass stoppered, sterilized bottle ready for use, together with all necessary instructions.

The influence thus exerted by ` Teri C.. • tan Cc-epany towards upholding and upbui'a _ Apr-'*^ ci the Dominion in times when su h an i.,ttuence is teteesa.; valuable forms a story of real human interest. This story is founded on three events: 1. An increase in wr -~; of $50,000 a month. 2. The reduction of :ng hours from nine to eight. 3. The addition of ;rt;? r;:cn to fea. pay roll sincewarbegan. In the Spring of 1915. Ca : ,Ji:in manufacturing interests were in most cases being ge_Jerl L: s policy of retrenchment rather than of expansion. It was a time when caution seemed the better part of valor. The Ford Canadian executives, however, preferred to look upon the situation with more optimism. At that time they were considering putting into effect a higher standard of wages for their employes. They saw no reason why they should stop the wheels of progress ca account of the war, so in April 1915, the new Ford standard of wages was adopted. Here was a war -time increase of from 15 to 60% for every eligible worker in the plant. The average laborer was at once presented with a $38 a month raise. It is estimated that this increase distributed among the 2,400 Canadian Ford employes amounts to about $50,000 a month. And bear in mind that their previous rate of pay was considered good. So, by April 16, 1916, the Ford Canadian Company will have given its employes $600,000 in increased wages for one year. Surely, this is increasing the prosperity of the individual with a vengeance. Likewise it increases the prosperity of the merchants from whom these employes buy. And it increases the prosperity of the wholesaler from whom the merchants buy and so on down the list. The commission man, the jobber, the manufacturers in all parts of Canada share in it. And in the natural course of events the whole nation benefits from this increased distribu- tion of money. In the nine leading cities from St. John to Vancouver there are Ford Branch establishments that are also assisting in this promotion of prosperity. In the plant at Ford City there are about 2000 employes whose places of abode are- in: the four towns of ,;Ford City, Waikerville, Windsor and Sandwich. There are 1000 more employes working in establishments in these four towns whose output either in its entirety or its greater part is taken by the Ford plant. Thus 3,000 persons there are dependent upon the Ford factory. Basing an estimate on the fact given in the last census report that there are five in the average family, this makes a total of 15,000 people that look to the Ford Plant for their support.. In other words half the people in these four towns whose com- bined population is about 30,000 are directly benefited by the prosperity of the Ford Canadian Company. At the same time that they received this increase in wages, the Ford employes were further benefited by a reduction in working hours of from nine to eight per day. ' Few firms, excepting those working on government contracts, have found it desirable to add to their number of employes to any great extent since war began. But so resultful has been the Ford Canadian policy of full speed ahead, war or no war, that it has been necessary to take on 900 additional employes since August 1914. Has the Ford Company as a Canadian Plant with its own army of highly paid workers done "its bit" for Canada outside of boosting her prosperity? Again let us consult statistics. In contributing to the Patriotic and Red Cross funds, the employes, officers and stockholders gave $59,304.39 or an aver- age of $29.60. The factory workers alone gave $30,410.04 or an average of $18.71 per man. Office employes gave $6,168.60; everyone, almost without a single exception gave to the absolute limit. For instance twenty-two girl office employes, steno- graphers and file cleats contributed a total of $77.50 per month for 12 months. The total contribution from the town of Ford with its 2,200 population was $75,776.99 or an average of about $34 per capita which is one of the largest per capita contributions of any city or town in the Dominion. Ford employes are the highest paid autoniobile workers in the British Empire. They are paid 3 times as well as the aver- age Canadian workmen—receiving $1,200 a year as against the average wage of $435 as given by the last census reports. The Ford Canadian executives have proved to their own sat- isfaction—and atisfaction—and $gures make this proof obvious—that the increased permanency of a man's employment, his increased skill gained through this longer time of service, and other factors, fully counterbalance this increased expenditure in wages. And so the owner of a Ford ear receives a direct benefit from all this since it results in putting into his car a skilled workman- ship that is most unusual and that goes far towards making the Ford car the wonderful mechanical production that it is today..
