Mireur, a Preach singer, rendered it with each effect at a civic banquet at Marseilles that it was hurriedly sent to the printing areas and copies dis- tributed to volunteers of the battalion leaving for Paris, .They entered Paris on July 30 singing the hymn. It swept Paris like a flame ,and intensified the aeadness of the proletariat that culmin- ' ate in a frienzied attack on the Tull leries on Aug. 10, 1792. Unwittingly, Captain de L'Isie had supplied the spark for the powder; his expressed disapproval of the event of that day landed -him in. a;prison cell, from which he was not released until the fall of Robespierre, on July 2S, 1794. M: Louis Philippe coufersed a pension upon de L'Iele. His authorship of the words had never beeu questioned, bat many •others have, 'claimed to have composed tbe music. However, when de L'Isle was in prix- on, Dubois, editor of Journale de Literateur, added a seventh couplet to complete the characterizatinu when it was being dramatized for the Fete of the •Federation. . Edelmann, Gretry, • end Chiefly, Gossec, have been credit- ed with enriching the harmonies of "La Marsedllaise" ' in their arrange- ments for pianoforte and orchestra. At the end of a dinner et the house of General Dumouriez, after the battle of Jemappes, de L'Isle sat by the side of the Duo de Charters, afterward Louis Philippe, and felicitated him for his glorious part in the war. "It is not to me, but to you," replied the Duke, "to whom the honor is due.

Thus was preserved for normal citizenship one who was to embolden his country's instinct for liberty, and France has proved her gratitude ;to this 'captain' of engineers by immortalizing his name in drama, Painting and sculpture. In his native village, Rouget de L'Isle massed his last days, and as he was dying, said, "J'ai fait chanter le monde et maintenant je vale mourir."

Men ,with a litelowg experience of forestry have been absolutely amazed by the experiments, and the opinion liar been expressed that the discovery may revolutionize to world's hnrdwood lumber industry. .The operation of 'dyeing the tree is a comparatively • simple one, and all sorts a articles can be glade from the oolored wood. Among these already Maned out are ulnbrella•handles, cigar- tette Gases, candlesticks, and buttons. They have only to be sniped and polished, as the coloring has been seen to while the tree wall still growing: And it is indelible. Nether add nor water will affect it.

In addition to dangerous trades where special preoautions are essential to safeguard the life of the workers, there are, many others where substances of lesser danger are in use and are causing minor disabilities. In many cases the connection between cause and effect is net obvious, and• it 'le only accumulated experience which can give the cue to the occupational origin of symptoms and disease among the workers. `It is in order to pool such experience that progressive coun- tries interested in preventing indus- trial sickness '• compile lists showing occupational poisons, the industries using them, the, mode of entrance into the body, and the.symptobas to be ex- Peeted. While much of the materia] in Such lists is of international appli- cation, the experiezice of each country varies according to differences in in- dustrial processes and raw materials available. Thus it is useful for each country to have its- own list. For this reason the Department of Health of Ontario has just issued a snail booislet entitled "Occupational Diseases: A Rapid Reference Manual," which contains general information on occupational disease and a correlated list of industries and poisons; a com- parative'study of legislation in On- tario and elsewhere ie included.
