OPPOSITE QUEEN'S HOTEL wINGHAM, ONT
WORK, OF A VOLCANO,
Result of an Eruption In Alaska Four.,
teen Centuries Ago.
LXety traveler on the upper Yukon
river has noted a oopspiottQas white
bed four to six inches its thickness,
that occurs on, the river banks. 'This
is made up of volcanic ash derived
front a volcano located in the northern
margin. of the St. Elias rause, more
Urea 100 utiles to the south, Though,
geologically speaking, tho material is
of recent age, yet it was probably
erupted 1,400 years ago.
!mere are, of course, no historical
records of this eruption, but In the
course of explorations in Alaska mirth
has been learned about tho distribution
And thickness of the material ejected.
1t originally coveted en area of over
140,000 square miles, lend some of it
was carried aver 450 wiles from the
volcano.
The deposit varies in thickness from
300 feet near the velcano to an inch er
two at the margin of the area coverer]
by it A rough estimate indicates that
over ten cubic miles 01 material was
ejected at the time oC this eruption.
Dut'Jug the eruption of Katmai volcano
ill southwestern Alaska in Tune, 1012,
about five cubic miles of ash was eject-
ed, and about the same amount fell
from the Krakatoa eruption of 1883.
This 3'ukou eruption is therefore com-
parable in intensity with some of the
larger eruptions of historical time.-

Old Man of the Mountain.
The title "Old elan of the Mountain"
was first applied to Hassan Ben Sab-
ha!, who founded n formidable ele}•Itas-
ty in Syria A. 1). 1090. He was the
prince or chief of a sect of the Mo-
hammedans. Waving been banished
from Jiffs country, he took up Ms abode
in Mount Lebanon and gathered round
him a band of followers, who soon be-
came the terror alike of Christians,
Jews and Turks. They paid the most
implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that it they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys of
paradise. For 200 years these "assns.
SIDS," as they called themselves. con-
tinued to be the terror of the country.
Whenever their thiel', the "Old Mart
of the Mountain," considered himself
injured he dispatched some of his as.
sassins secretly to murder the aggres-
sor. This is the origin of our use of the
word assassin for a secret mnrderer,
Making Lenses.
There is absolutely no other human
occupation that requires tbe accuracy
of observation and the delicacy of
touch that are requisite for the mak-
ing of the finest lenses. These are the
most perfect products of human hands.
It may convey some idea of the labor
required in the making of a large lens
to say that at least one year's time is
required for the grinding and polishing
of a thirty inch object glass. A little
lens two inches in diameter requires
the unremitting care and attention of
a skilled workman for two or three
days. It is easy, then, to see why it is
that even lenses for high class photo-
graphic work are costly. A forty Web
object glass for a large telescope can-
not be made in much less than four
years' time, and 11 everything does not
go just right it may require !Ruch
longer than that.
The Circular Saw.
In technical journals considerable dis-
cussion has taken place as to who in-
vented the circular slew. The claim is
made that this kind of saw was in-
vented and used by a wood turner
named Murray at Mlensfietd about the
year 1820. The first saw is described
as having been about six inches in di.
:[meter and was used on a wood turn-
ing lathe operated by water power.
James Murray, the inventor, is said to
have been the son of 010 Joe Murray,
the favorite servant of Lord Byron.
The Hungarian Crown.
The rruugarian crown worn at their
accession by the emperors of Austria
as kings of Hungary is tbe identical
one made for Stephen and used at his
coronation over 890 years ago. The
whole is of pure gold, except the set-
tings, and weighs almost exactly four-
teen pounds. The settings above allud-
ed to consist of fifty-three sapphires,
fifty rubies, one emerald and 338
pearls. It will be noticed that there are
no diamonds among these precious
adornments. This is accounted for by
the oft quoted story of Stephen's aver-
sion to such gems because he consid-
ered them "unRieky,"
A l=alse Alarm.
"I know something, 1 do, about a
member of Ibis rattily," said little
hobby Slithers triumphantly to his old-
er stater. Maud.

This tax which is retroactive to the
beginning of the war, and is to eon

Angust, 1917, will, in effect divert to
the Dominion Treasury 25 per cent, of
all profits in excess of seven per cent,
of paid.up capital in the ease of in-
corporated companies and in excess of
ten per cent, in the case of firms,
partnersnips or indivitjuals,
While. in a sense, the new taxes are
in the nature of taxes on war profits,
since they apply particularly to every
company which is making abnormal
profits during war times, they are at
the same time all -embracing. Every
business, big or little, which is snaking
big returns on at' least $50,000 capital
invested will have to give up one-
quarter of the profits above the seven
or ten per cent, dividend noted above,
to help the Goveran en finance the war.

APPLIES TO CANADA, TOO
(Scientific American)
The wealth of the United States in
natural resources has not by any means
proved to be an unmixed blessing in its
effect upon the industrial and commer-
cial situation. Like every other pion-
eer people in gland of great fruitfulness,
we have gathered that fruit which was
the richest, the most plentiful, and
afforded the easiest plucking, Hence,
nature's prodigality has begotten in us
certain habits of extravagance and im-
providence, of which there are only too
many and tco eloquent evidences on
every hand.xWe have exhausted the
virgin fertility of our soil without
effort at recompense -we have cut
down our forests without any attempt
at replanting -we have dug out the
richest of our minerals, and for want
of a little care and patience, have
allowed millions of wealth to run to
waste in the tail heap -and in our
methods of manufacturing we have
thrown away waste materials which
the more patient and thrifty European
manufacturer has fabricated into a
useful conservation for the world at.

Now that the regular factory patron
is getting to think more and more about
cow testing, preparing in many local-
ities to take weights and samples as
soon as first cow freshens, it would
seem opportune for more factory own-
ers to Consider this matter seriously.
1f a larger and better milk and cream
supply is wanted, then talk up cow
testing, get more patrons interested.
If reduced operating expenses are
sought, with a larger output of better
quality, then recommend cow testing to
every dairy farmer in the vicinity. For
in the ways above indicated, and in very
many others, the factory must benefit.
The assistance from the dairy divis-
ion of the department of Agriculture
at Ottawa is just as liberal as in forrrl-
et years. Where a cow testing associ-
ation is organized and a thoroughly
competent person will do the testing
of milk samples from individual coiiWs

The intelligence of people may be
gauged by asking them to make a
circle on paper with a pencil and note
