Development of Canada's
Wonderful Waters.
- The total value of the fisheries pro -
dilation of -Canada int 1920 was $49e
321,217, according to a preliminary re-
port preparecl by the Dominion Bureau
'Of Statistics. ,This shows a decrease
from the previous- year of $7,187,262,
which is, .however, to be accounted
for by ,the geaeral decline in prices
exPerienced dnring. thia Period. In
severy catch there was, an increase in
quantity, ainounting,-, to Substantial
proportions incases, and. the Dominion
ihas reason to be satisfied with the re-
-cord of the year as recording a steady
and maintained development of her
-wonderful waters.
Salmon continued to hold the pre-
mier place among Canadian fist), in

Happenings in Canada.
The National Industries Corporation
Is about to commence construction o
a large manufacturing- plant on Indus
trial Island, where eivetless sickle
blealais wet be made. Knives will be
manufactured for all standard grain
and hay cutting machines.
It is now definitely antounced that
the Prince Rupert Pulp and Paper
Company will go ahead at once with
construction of the first unit of its
two hundred ton per day sulphite mill,
having an initial output of forty tons
per day. This ccanpany recently par:.
chased the British Columbia holdings
of the 'North Empire Timber Company,
approximately 1,000,000,000 feet, of
which fully ninety per cent. is spruce
and hemlock.
A large shipment of threshing
nia-
chiues to Palestine is being made by
Sawyer -Massey Compana of Toronto.
An order amounting to about $40,000
has also been received from Kingston,
Jamaica, for, road machinery. This
order is the result of a shipment of
890,000 of road machinery which was
to the same destination in the spring. ,
Work is being rushed on the plans
for the erection of a, rnbdel town' at
Kapuskasing, Ont., by thd Spruce Falls
Pulp and Paper Company. During the
past year the Spruce Falls' Conipany
expended $4,000,000 in development
there, while only $2,500,000 ie required
to compfeteetha work. The plant when
completed will be able to handle 20,-
000 board feet of lumber per year. The
company'is also considering the erec-
tion of a pulp mill and power plant.
It is reported that gold hunters are
swanning over the country drained by
the Wapshe River, New Brunswick,
and panning the sands of the stream
in 'search of the yellow metal. The
prospectors are looking for the Gil-
bertson lade. The story is told how
Gilbertson made a canoe trip up the
river some sixty years ago, and while
making camp for The night, cante
across a large body of gold -bearing
ore. Not knowing what it was he took
home a large piece to use as a door
weight. • Sotnetime later a geologist
visiting Gilbertson identified the ore,
and a mad rush to stake claims along,
the Wapshe River ensued. Gilbertson
refused to tell where he• found the ore.
Later he became insane and died Math-
• out revealing the secret. This season
a systematic search is being made.
The new Furness -Bermuda, line sum-

He -at stroke 'and heat exhaustion
often occur in'hot weather, with seri
ous results. Not infrequently we hear
of middle-aged men, and women cal -
lapsing and dying on` accouat of the
heat especially if there is much m
hum-
idity with the high temperature..
These cases nearly always oCcurring
on the street show the need of pre-
cautions on the part of the individual
in guarding himself or herself from
excessive and prolonged exposure to
the sun's rays. A soeriewhat common
practice an,c1 a bad practice is for men
on holiday to go through the heat of
the day without any head covering
in order to encourage the growth' of
the hair. Suzi stroke sometimes oc-
curs as a result, and in kerne cases has
proved fatal. • Living in apartment
houses during the Jhot .weather where
no great amount of through draft is
available, is a frequent cause of heat
exhaustion, especially among those of
.middle life and old age. • Arrange-
ments shouldbe made if possible to
• avoid stuffy apartments during them
sumer months, but the present hous-
ing shortage makes. it difficult for
some city &milers to change their
abode during the hot weather and the
results are particularly debilitating.
In case of children, it is a practical
impossibility to keep them' well' in
summer if cooped up ia.,apartmehts or
tenements. Babies must be given
special attention, and mothers living
in croevtled, or elosely built up quar-
ters should keep their infants in
rooms on: the ground floor, that are
shaded and ventilated. The upper
stories of louses are usually very
warm, especially during the afternoon
th
and evening when e sun's rays have
been -beating on the roof for seine
hours. Babies .should, When ItogSible,
e kept opt -of -doors on the shady
side of the street, •or in spots not ex-
posed to the sun's rays. The clothing
of, the baby should consist only of a
loose. cotton wrap, the arms and legs
being left bare. It is especially im-
portant that the baby should be bath-
ed dairy, so that proper evaporation
may take place from the body.
During the heat of the day, persons
advanced in years should avoid the
crowded streets and thoroughfares
and confine themselves to the parks,
public 'squares and other shady spots,
which will afford them comfort and
relief. •
People shoul_ dwear light-colored,
light -weight clothing during the sum-
mer, and dark clothes should be avoid-
ed as they absorb the heat rays and. t
make the wearer uncomfortably hot. t
Indoor workers should have win-
dows arid doors open t'o create a draft,
an,d the light should, be suppressed, 'so
as net to let in the full glare of the a
sun. The clothing worn indoers /ring c
be loosely 'woven., and; of either cotton c
or silk. 'Everybody should" try to i
avoid hurry and' excitement as these
only intensify the heat, but healthful a
exercise is beneficial even in hot wee- i
then. It is officially noted that Men
in the tropics who do strenuous work t
and play, enjoy better health than the s
ladies resident there who take prae- c
tIcally no exercise.Bathe daily and s
take a sponge bath at _night before d
retiring, so as to induce sleep. Dur-

tends to make others irritable as well at
as oneself. Eat sparingly, and avoid

concerned with manoeuvring; general
conversation 15 carried on by means
of semaphore or flash -lamp. The
amount of talking that is done in a

Wit in War -time,
Some of them were quite humorous
One senior Officer semaphored to an
other, just befort Jellicoe's 'big ships
came into action: "It Seems to be get
tine a bit thick this end. What had
we"A.1)elt)tietrtIcliiock?'" 'is a mild description
of the whirlwind of action in which
the ships found. themselves. It was
easier to joke the next morning; when
we find among the -recorded signals
his enquiry from the Princess Royal
o the Tiger by searchlight: "I hope
&lief& well after our busy afternoon?"
Among the wIrelees mfeiga*es. there
were many little dramas, 'asfor ex-
mple, the signal rnadeLof co,urse, in
ode—by the little destroyer Anabus-
ade about two o'clock in the morning
n the darkness of the night battle:
"Have expended all toipeaoes,. I am
lone. Position doubtful. Request

There is something plaintive about
hat "I am alone," but it serves to
how what an immense area was
overed by the battle, that a ship
hould be without consorts in the mid-
le of it. •

the bounds of the Empire. Like.Pucla,
they haveput ae-girdee round the

of the total number af Boy Scouts in
the world (something over a million),
and a third of its total 320,000 Girl

were in 1912), five in foreign court -
tries. Each year the ,movement
spreade and the totals increase, more
boysand girls pass into the companies
and troops, and out of them into the
fuller life of adult citizenship, in a
larger number of countries:
A third of the By Scouts who came
over froin South Africa to last year's
Jamboree in London were Dutch. In
India, front which Sir Robert and Lady
Baden-Powell have recently returned,
there are in the eight provinces thous-
ands of Scouts and Guides., some of
them English, some of them. of mixed
English and Indian parentage, and
some Indian. The Chief Scout arid
Chief Guide went out on the invita-
tion of Lord Chelmsford, tae Viceroy,
with the object of consolidating the
movement on the original lines of :a
unified organization. As the result of
their visit some 20,090 • Indian Boy
Scouts, who had been enrolled inde-
pendently of the parent organization,
and a furtherassociation of 15,000
Scouts and Guides enrolled by Mrs.
Besant, agreed, with "indescribable
enthusiasm," to come into the world
brotherhood. These are but two in-
stances out of many of the univer-
sality of the spell exercised by the
principles of Scouting. British by
origin, pan-Britieh by adoption, they
have in them. something that appeals
to the boys and girls of all nations,
aead binds them together in a common
fraternity that can rise to a plane
above the ordinary distinctions of
race. With the paseing of youth and
its enthusiasms, the inspiration of the
movement and its ideals must, in some
eases, inevitably decay. But if, in the
majority, they survive, then it is rnere-
ly visionary to h,ope that, in each coun-
try where they thrive, they may in-
sensibly leaven, the lump and become
the germ of areal and abiding League
of Nations.

Why Dogs Bark.
It is a curious fact that dogs bark
only when they are in association with
man. The dog in a state of nature
merely growls, howls, or whines.
Possibly the act of barking is a
dog's attempt at speech: it would cer-
tainly seem like it sometimes; as, for
instance, when a pet dog seas you car-
rying food, he will beak as hia way of
asking for scam
„another ,clogr which is in the habit
of going to bed at sundown, will bark
to tell you he is ready when the time
comes.

trine that if a newspaper copies an
item from another paper, it should al-
ways give full credit to Inc paper from
which it copie,s.
This young man copied in his sheet
