A. great many people had tried it without success. His own company had carried out some experi- nhents in its experimental paper mill at Boston, and had succeeded so well that the United States. Government was taking the paper they produced. Samples of it were shown by the speaker. Such paper was worth 6 cents in.. any market, he sal'd, and probably 8 cents. A mill established to manufael.are it could afford to pay the farmers $3 a ton for flax straw delivered. Another question they were investigating was the possibility of providing gasoline from natural gas. A new process for effecting this end had been developed in Oklahoma. It was of peculiar promise, and his company had taken out a license to use it in Canada, If some of the gasoline thus obtained contained too much sulphur, probably it could eventually be eliminated by an adaptation of the French process which had proved so successful in to those who do not have to be born again. He was therefore surprised to find taking sulphur out of oil. By this method. copper was put into the oil, and bimsali, after a brief acquaintance with Canada, undergoing an unexpected the sulphur attacked the copper, leaving the oil pure. There was much ,proc ass of rebirth. Ile had found himself in a new and ampler world, in lignite in Canada.

Natural resources, proceeded Mr. Little, did not of themselves create great industries. Such industries resulted from personal initiative. Oppoi" tunity implied responsibility, urd it was upon the heirs of this rich inheri tante that the responsibility for a wise initiative was placed. The first eequisite for a wise initiative was a compelling desire to do something with the opportunities at band, and the second was knowledge. Science was onI: knowledge at its best; it was net something nc•cult, to be followed for its o'' sake, but was intensely practical. The war had taught English-speakir - people that science was the basis of prosperity and power, and that without science there could be no liberty and no national existence. Mr, Little defined industrial research as research having for its immeai ate and avowed purpose some ,practical end. No greater service could be per formed than that of Inculcating into the public mind a proper appreciation r:• .}though the coma:orelel value of this process was not yet assured. a� what resettle could do.

About $15,000 worth of dried milk entered London daily from Scandinavia, and quantities were `going into New York.

One of the most promising fields for industrial research was that afforded; by the enormous quantity of straw, for which Canadians had no present use.; Some things could he done with straw already; straw boards and corrugated hoard could be made.

Many of these would have been saved had they known how to swim and many of them good swimmers it may be, got foolhardy or ambitious to beat a record and went down by cramps or heart failure. A few are doing the hero part and in trying to save life, lose their own. Can nothing impress the many who go down into the water? All are liable to accident but each one, if he thinks about it at all, thinks he is safe. Not one of the victims but would have told you if admonished to be careful 'Oh I'm alright, I'll be careful'. The following advice should be ram- med in, crammed in, jammed in at every opportunity: Don't reck a boat or canoe or carry on fool tricks of any kind. Don't stay in the water too long. Don't plunge into the water over the heart at first dip. Don't bathe after a full meal. Don't stay in a minute longer if you feel faint. Don't be too sure of a good bottom.

Some statistics in regard to .this have been gathered by M. Dusolier, a French scientist. After pointing out the marvellous endurance shown by little foxterrlers, who follow their masters patiently for hours, while the latter are riding on bicycles or in carriages, he says that even greater endurance is shown by certain wild animals that are akin to dogs. Thus, the wolf can run between 50 and 60 miles in one night, and an Arctic fox can do quite as well, if not better. Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel 45 miles on the ice in five hours and there is a case on record in which a team of Eskimo dogs travel- led six and one-half miles in 23 minutes. According to M. Dusolier, the speed of the shepherd dogs, and those used on hunting ranges, is from 10 to 15 yards a second. English set- ters and pointers hunt at the rate of 18 to 19 miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least two hours. Fox hounds are extraordin- arily swift, as is proved by the fact that a dog of this breed once beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six and a half minutes, which was at the rate of nearly 18 yards a second. Greyhounds are the swiftest of all four -footed creatures and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons. English grey- hounds, which are used for coursing, are able to cover at full gallop a space between 18 and 23 yards every second. Bulletin issued by the city of Toronto recently: 'If you smoke a good deal, and do not get much exercise, or if you have any reason to believe you have a weak heart, or if you are tired, or if you have had a meal recently, then be careful about going in swimming. Don't go into very cold water, stay in shallow water for awhile and don't go for a long swim. If you feel faint, get out at once. We advise this because a good many so-called cases of drown- ing are really heart failure. As soon as one enters the water the surface blood vessels contract and a great strain is then thrown upon the heart, which has to force the blood through these contracted vessels. Many swim- mers who have gone down and cannot be resuscitated, even though quickly taken out of the water have died of heart failure and not drowning at all, and it is wise, therefore, to observe the precautions already pointed ont.
