Wheth- er the introduction of this species was the result of accident os -design, its ap- pearance' is- regarded as very unfor- tunate, as it is a hole -nesting bird and robs more relaxable nattiv-e species, , such as th,e tree swallow and bluebird, of their nesting sites. Mr. J. A. Mun- ro, Chief Federal Migratory Bird Of- ficer of the Western Provinces, has re- ported his investigations with regard to this bird. Stomach analysies cate that this species its fond of small fruits and so may become .a menace to s the orchards and gardens of the Pacific Coast Provinces and States even if it does not cross the 'mountains and spread .to the rest of the continent. The danger of introducing any for- • eign species for' acclimatization is ,shawn by the calamitous results Which • , followed the introduction ofthe ,house sparrow into -North America. As is well known the house sparrow in America lia,s driven. other birds trona their nest - leg' sites about our houses and prob- ably caused the depletion of several na.tive species. In addition it con- sumes great qnutatities of gratin and is a general nuisance in cities. .The Biter Bit.

Just meth of the town on a strip 'Of rising grouad is located -the Provincial Sanitarium foe Conauxnp- In company with Dr. P. J. Moloney and Dr. George Clinton, Ontario Dis- trict Officers of Health, I recently paid a visit to Kentville Sanitoriuwhile at St. John, N.B., attending the con- gress, of the Canadian Public Health Assocjetjou. Our visit to this eti tution was vvell worth while and gave us a very clear conception of what Nova Scotia is doing to combat the "great white plague." The problem of cornbatirig tuber- culosis is a national problem, and the efforts of each province is 'of partic- ular interest to every part of the Do- minion. In Nova Scotia the work is well in hand. Dr. A. F. Miller, the Superintendent 01 Kentville Sanitor- ium, has a staff of -over 100-, including four physicians and twenty-two nurs- es. Everything is being clone, there that can be done in the intere\st of thespatients. Kent-aille was selected as the most suitable site for this institution for several reasonseameng which aro ab- sence of fog, early sing, less rain- fall than in most other parts of 'the province, and a comparatively dry at- mosphere the dryness being aceentu- ated l-b"Le sandy, porous sell on which the sanitoriurn is ebuilt. The north range of hills protects Kentville from the fogs that so often develop in the Bay 01Fundy some ten or twelve miles away. It is only for about one week in the middle of July that the weather gets uncomfortably hot, and the rest of the sunan,er beingeusually several degrees cooler than more in- land districts. The buildings are located on a hill- side at a moderate height above sea level, and are of the separate pavilion type, with an infirmary for the nfOre .a serions cases. The 'main featuree of these ,pavilions is as it ,should be, the sleeping porches, where the patienta ,epend most of, their time day and night. In the infirmary are roonts that can be used for sleeping in when the weather is eoid or'severe• There, is also a well-equipped laboratory, and an operating room. The X-ray department is the pride of the place, but important work is also ibeing done, through heliotherapy, and gas treatment for diseased spots theon lung. It is recognized, however, that in the treattnenti of tuberculosis- medicinee are little more than pa.1 atives. The suffer.er needs fresh air, eun- shine, nourishing food, rest, and • graded exercises, walking being- the mast beneficial. To these must be added recreation, amusements and,' sometimes, occupation, in order to de- velop awl maintain a cheerful, hope- ful attitude and a contented mind. 1, , These features are all, in evidence: at ,Kentvilla Saujtoriurn. There .is vocational buiraing where work sucW as wood carving, basket weaving, etc., are carried on and there is a recrea- tion building with billiard tables barber ahotr,--canteen, even a Y.IVLC.A:1 secretary. Entertainment is provided by the sanithrium's °Ism orchestra and by moving picture shows. The pictures are all selected and of real educational value. And to be up-to-date in the latest,forre of entertainMent there is being installed a wireless concert re- ceiving station, 41,se enft of the Knights of Columbus. -The' power and heats the the town of K. ton from fire is affordeu ay a ee and equipment including a watertankl of 50,000 gallons capacity. The grounds of the sanitorium include 32 acres and the annual cost 'of upkeep of the whole institution is approxi- mately $290,000, Money spent for a better or more praiseworthy object cannot be imagined. The efforts of the Province of Nova 'Scotia to care for t:t3berculous Atients are worthy of the highest commendation. Canadians Start Tree Planting. Throughout Canada the greatest ac- tivity and enthusiasm has prevailed this year in regard to forest tree plant- ing. It is sate to ;ay that more trees have been Plantelt in the spring of 1922' than in any Previous spring in the his- tory tat, Canada. In the raster ri pro- vinces, and on theiprairies, the ,Cities, toWns, and villages' have planted.trees by the thousand along the streets, and In the parks, and where provincial highways have been con.etructed trees have been planted along these under a . systematized plan,. These' are all shade and ornamental trees and they are planted for aesthetic rather thrall economic reasons. At the same time on the prairies, especially the planting of trees in urban centres helps along the meveine,n.t in rural districts. But the movement has not ended there. In addition to the five or six million trees sent out by the Indian Head and Sas- katoon Dominion forest nursery eta - tions to farmers to plant shelter -belts all over the prairies and those sent out for,like purposes and to restore wo0c1- tots from the- Ontario and Quebec nursery stations at St. Williams 'and 13erthierville, re.spectirely, there has been a anuch larger planting and seed: ing of purely forest trees, than ever before. The Dominion Government Forestry Brancli has planted trees at , Petawasara, Ontario, forest experiment station and on a number of its forest reserves in the Prairie Provinces to a total number of about 150,000; several .of the big pulp and liuriber co.napaniese have done coneid.erable planting, and there has been a forward movement i in the municipal fete,sn it plantatimas i Quebec and Ontario. Inthe latter pros, '-vinee the scheine, of cOunty, and -town- ship toreists devised bast -year was put into active operation. In Simcoe county the first tree in the county for- est plot of one thousand"ames, 'near Camp Borden, was plantedt by the War- den with appropriate cerementes. It is expected the whole plot will be planted in ten years,. In the aarae coanty two townships and one village planted plots of ten acres eaoh, and in Norfolk county twenty thousand seedlings as a beginning were planted on the municipal fore,st. Other town- ships set uti trees end the counties of York, Ontario, and Durhani, are laying out nurseries and getting ready to start next Year. - The imprudent man reflects on what he has said; the 'wise on what lie is going to say. --O'Connell, Put your energy into achievement to -day rather thaa into regrets to- morrow.

If, says Mr, Stefaxisson, the S,11.0 house we were camping in was, built 01 flety degrees below zero, each block in the wall was then of that tempera- ture and contained what we may un- scientifically speak of as a great deal of "latent cold." To neutralize the cold it was necessary to keep the inside of the house for a conelderable time at a temperature of perhaps 60 deg. lie' Snow is so nearly a nonconductor of heat that, once the "latent cold" has beau , neutralized, the heat of our bodies kept ,the , temperature well above the freezing point, even when •the bole in the root was open far venti- lation.
