The Law's Long Arm. As a result of the League of Nations and various independent treaties, the apprehension of a criminal in a foreign land is becoming a comparatively sim- ple matter. At one time a man who had committed a crime in England had merely to cross to Europe to elude his pursuers, for no agreement existed be- tween Britain and European countries to effect his extradition. Now, how- ever, there are only a few small States where the fugitive from justice may live with impunity. At one time there was no extradition treaty between Great Britain and the Argentine Republic. This fact enabled Jabez Balfour, the financier, to leave England a few hours before his plan- ned arrest and escape to South Ameri- ca. For a year detectives watched his movements, powerless to arrest him, but at length Great Britain signed an agreement with the Argentine for the apprehension of fugitive criminals, be- ing careful to make the agreement date 'back in order that Balfour's case i should be subject to ft. Another extradition tangle that in- volved three countries was that of an Italian who had escaped from Devil's Island. He was wanted by the French authorities. He had reached America, where he worked as a waiter, but was deported when his history became known. It was urged that America had no power to send him back to France. without special sanction from the Italian Government. But Italy refused to intercede for hint and he was sent once more to Devil's Island. Ie England it is at Bow Street where foreign criminals fight extradition pro- ceedings, and there Roques, a French- man, told how he had been sent to' Devil's Island for murder committed when he was nineteen. He escaped to New York, and then came to England, where he was arrested on French in- formation. The proceedings ended with his return to the French peniten- tiary. ti It's All W r= ng.

The Value of a Map. Canadian Government departments issue many nz.aps, and of many kinds, each one for 'a special purpose and to meet a special need. In a young and growing country these ` maps are es. sential as they, constitute the record of topographical, geological, military, water -power, forests, ' high -ways and ether surveys. In Western Canada practically all settlement is carried on by means of maps. These show the location of the land, as well as other features that may enhance or detract from its value. In foreign trade : promotion, maps• serve a useful. purpose. Owing •to the immensity of Canada's area, import- ers of Canadian goods• require to know something 'of the country where these are produced. In' a letter ;received re- cently by the Natural Resources In- telligence Service of the Department of the Interior from a firm in Cuba, the writer in thanking the Service for. mal }s supplied on request says:— "These' maps will be of great service to me, as I represent and maintain business relation% with a number of New Brunswick firms. I::have sold many shiploads of New Brunswick po- tatoes throughout the island of Cuba, and it is my aim and intention to maintain and increase my business in products from New Brunswick." Trade Commissioners and ,British Consular Officers in foreign fields, immigration officers, and freight and passenger:of- fs` i 1 of the xailvrays make use of maps to a very great extent in their ' work and many thousands are, sup- , plied by the Natural Resources Intel- ' ligence ntel'ligence Service for this purpose.

Natural Resources Bulletin. The NaturalResourcesIntelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says t- The autumn season is now upon us, with the cooler days and nights, when there will be a call for artificial heat. 1 The cook stove will be moved into the. inside. kitchen and the heater will be set up ready for winter. In many cases stoves and heaters will be put back udder the same' conditions as prevailed when they were taken down, notwithstanding that this may be ex- ceedingly dangerous. One of the first essentials in pre- paring -forthe winter season is to have the chimneys cleaned. This is not a difficult job. It can easily be performed by those at home, and it should not under any consideration, be neglected. ,After the chimney liteeel been cleaned remove the accumulation " of soot at the base, as this may stop the draught. Another important pre - 'caution after cleaning is to examine the ,chimney 'for cracksor, places where the mortar may have fallen out, particularly where the chimney goes through an unused attic. "Where stovepipes go through walls or ceilings the pipes should be well insulated, and should be at least, len d inches from wall or ceiling. Double thimbles with perforations surround- ing the stovepipe are best -fur this purpose. Fire -box doors should close , tightly and securely, to avoid danger of flying sparks setti ug fire to the fe ors. A prevalent -fire danger is the; . putting of kindling wc,ocl over eight into the oven, leaving the door open. The heat is liable .to char the wood, when it will easily become ignitsd The old-fashioned wood box is an- other fire danger. It is usually the resting place for an a( -cumulation of chips and pieces of paper, which only - awaits an unextinguihed znatc•iz to start a fire. Under no consideration should gas - cline or coal oil be used on fires:Even when apparently dead, there may be a live coal among the ashes. The con- tact of gasoline or coal oil with these live coals causes an explosion of the generated gas and a quick flash of flame. Many lives have been sacri- ficed through this praetice. These are but simple precautions with fire,and their observance rimy thehouseholder possibly use 1dsaveto ho and his family from being turned out of his home oil some cold winter night.

Natural Resources Bulletin. The NaturalResourcesIntelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says t- The autumn season is now upon us, with the cooler days and nights, when there will be a call for artificial heat. 1 The cook stove will be moved into the. inside. kitchen and the heater will be set up ready for winter. In many cases stoves and heaters will be put back udder the same' conditions as prevailed when they were taken down, notwithstanding that this may be ex- ceedingly dangerous. One of the first essentials in pre- paring -forthe winter season is to have the chimneys cleaned. This is not a difficult job. It can easily be performed by those at home, and it should not under any consideration, be neglected. ,After the chimney liteeel been cleaned remove the accumulation " of soot at the base, as this may stop the draught. Another important pre - 'caution after cleaning is to examine the ,chimney 'for cracksor, places where the mortar may have fallen out, particularly where the chimney goes through an unused attic. "Where stovepipes go through walls or ceilings the pipes should be well insulated, and should be at least, len d inches from wall or ceiling. Double thimbles with perforations surround- ing the stovepipe are best -fur this purpose. Fire -box doors should close , tightly and securely, to avoid danger of flying sparks setti ug fire to the fe ors. A prevalent -fire danger is the; . putting of kindling wc,ocl over eight into the oven, leaving the door open. The heat is liable .to char the wood, when it will easily become ignitsd The old-fashioned wood box is an- other fire danger. It is usually the resting place for an a( -cumulation of chips and pieces of paper, which only - awaits an unextinguihed znatc•iz to start a fire. Under no consideration should gas - cline or coal oil be used on fires:Even when apparently dead, there may be a live coal among the ashes. The con- tact of gasoline or coal oil with these live coals causes an explosion of the generated gas and a quick flash of flame. Many lives have been sacri- ficed through this praetice. These are but simple precautions with fire,and their observance rimy thehouseholder possibly use 1dsaveto ho and his family from being turned out of his home oil some cold winter night.
