"My brother, who travels
for the firm, strikes the

all small towns in the

Another merchant says
if a customer is out

he ' makes note of his

BRITISH` '' COLVMBIA "eFIR.
Douglas Is a Beautiful and `,GraQef ,
* £ Tree t ,: <
"'1'he eda "of` Lebail fit . e •fame i •
ins ong And'. saory;and legend, rising
to a Tieight`.','o ti ty to eighty', feet'
they are indeed beautiful and grace-
fuI tees, Iu our own Dominion,
however, we have a tree that sur-
passes the famous cedar, that attains
an average height of one hundred
and fifty to two hundred and twenty
feet, and sometimes three hundred
and fifty feet, and whose girth is of
gigantic proportions,
This is the Douglas fir that ranges
from the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains in Alberta through to the
coast in British Columbia. In Al-
berta it is found as far north as the
headwaters of the Athabaska river,
but in the interior of British. Colum-
biaits range extends to lakes Bubine
and Stuart.
In appearance the Douglas fir is ex-
ceedingly beautiful. The tapering
trunk is straight and free from limbs
for seventy feet or more; the crown
is sharply pyramidal at first; becom-
ing more orless flat in old trees; the
branches have many long, Banging
side branchlets. Dark green above
.the, leaves are pale green under-
neath, and are arranged in two
ranks, but not as distinctly so as
those of the balsam fir. The cones
hang down 'instead of standing erect
as in the firs, and the three -pointed
bracts which are attached to the
scales are long'and conspicuous. Its
bark becomes deeply furrowed and
is, sometimes ten to twelve feet thick.
Many of the trees now growing in
British Columbia ai•e known to be
more than five hundred years old and
the Douglas fir has known to reach
the age,of•.one thousand years before
showing signe, of decay.
Larger structural timbers can be
obtained 'from, the Douglas fir than
from any American tree, and many
of these firs yield f9rty to fifty thou-
sand feet of lumber,sufficient to build
half a dozen modern bungalows. its
wood is the strongest in tha•world for
its weight that is obtainable in com-
mercial sizes and quantities; it in -
c: -eases in strength as it seasons and
is ideal for building and structural
timber. Now that it has been found
possible to treat the Douglas fir efii
ciently with creosote oil (which pro-
tects it against the attacks of marine
borers) it can be employed for piles
in salt water harbors, and lately
there has been a rapid increase in its
use in the construction of wharves,
docks and breakwater's.
The Douglas 'fir, however, is not
used solely on account of its size
and strength. Its grain is very
beautiful and it is being largely used
for interior decoration and various
kinds of carving.
David Douglas who discovered and
named these trees was born in Scone,
Scotland, in 1798. He soon attracted
attention by his knowledge of botan-
ical matters and was seat to the
United States as botanical collector
for the Horticultural Soclety•in Lon-
don. He travelled extensively in
North America and then went.to the
Hawaiian Islands where ho was killed
by a bull in 1834.
Glassmaking in England.
Little glass was manufactured in
England till the middle of the six-
teenth century, when continental
craftsmen obtained license to set up
kilns. From the middle of the seven-
teenth to the end of the eighteenth
century the industry greatly flourish-
ed, and during all that time London
was the premier glassmaking city in
England. Glasshouse Yard, Black-
friars, preserves in its name remem-
brance of one of the early glassworks
which has been traced back to the
year 1607. As the seventeenth cen-
tury closed there were as many as
twenty-six glasshouses in and about
London. To -day, in the wide embrace
oe Greater London, the full number
can be counted on the fingers and
t'.iumb of one hand, and certain of .
Cause • are specialized, for electric
bulb -making and bottle -making. It
has probably been forgotten that till
seventy-five years ago the product of
the glassmaker was hampered by ex-
cise duty. The works at Whitefriars
long preserved the old exciseman's
santry-boxes. Chance's great glass-
house, near Birmingham, was found-
ed in 1815, and there the system of
glass for flashing signals from li ht -
houses has been greatly developed.
Premiers Lacked Style.
The lack of style shown in the
clothes of the Empire Premiers
aroused the editors of various Lon-
don.,; ,magazines on men's wear.
-Premier Bruce of Australia was the
only one, according to the 1VIen'a
Wear Organizer, who "takes his
clothing seriously and fashionably."
Concerning Premier Maeag-bf New
7ealand,,the paper says, "His jacket,
is cut for comfort, and`•inakes'no pre-
tense of being.. of any fashion at all,"
Of Mackenzie King of Canada, it
says: "We fear he has no respect
for his tailor. His coat is poorly cut,
his, pockets are used as handrests,
and his trousers are sadly in need of
'uplift.' " Gen. Smuts is called the
most poorly dressed of the group, but
the clothing editor remarks: "He evi-
dently has too much important busi-
ness on his mind to bothee'about the
age, fit or quality of his suits,.'
Plymouth Rock From Canada!
Patriotic societies in; the State of
Massachusets recently became agi-
tated aver a' geological report which
stated that a fragment of historic
Plymouth Rock showed that the
stone dame from Canada. On the
strength of the` first announcement by
the university and the subsequent
