During the past few days we have had some glorious weather and it brings • to our minds the fact that taken all in all we have one of the most glorious climates in the world. Italy and south- ern California may have their mild winters, and the spring of England may be more beautiful than that of Canada, but there is a peculiar glory about our Canadian autumn which is to be found nowhere else. The maples with their variegated hues are not ex- celled in their beauty, even though it may be a dying beauty. We have various other native trees whose beauty is also magnificent. The early settlers of western Ontario and their tmtnediate s successors, removed probaltr talon of the original forest, than was desireble, considered simply from the aesthetic standpoint. We know now that there are other reasons why the forests should have not been so largely de- stroyed, but these men had not time to study the question of beauty and others connected with the preservation of the forest. It was to them a great thing to get rid of. However, they left pieces here and there, the sight of the beauty of which at this season of the year should make our hearts glad when we view them. In the older cities and towns of Canada . there has been more or less of tree planting done on the streets and in the lawns, and they impart a beauty during the summer, but still more glorious in the autumn. Then we have in Canada in the fall an atmosphere that is generally clear. The fogs of the morning are soon dis,, sipatect by the rising tam. The touch of cold that is imparted to the atmos- phere by chilly winds has its compen- sation in the vigor in which it imparts, and the added vitality which it gives to the people, The ripening fruits and vegetables remind us of the beautiful store that Canada has for its people in this respect as well as in the grain which has already been garnered. We may rejoice in the fertility of our Can- adian soil, snd we may also rejoice in ihs autumnal beauty of its landscape and its invigorating weather. THE RESPONSE.

Mechanical Chess Player Can Make Competitor Keep to the Holes. Is the day near at hand when science will be able to create a hu- man being? This question may well be asked when one considers the latest invention of that Ring of auto- raat inventors Senor Torres y Que. vedo, member of the Spanish Aca- demy of Sciences, Senor Torres caused a sensation some thirty years ago by inventing a machine which would solve algebraic equations. Then he invented a balloon which would direct itself and could attain a speed as grea't as the fastest Zep- pelins. The latest product of this wonder- ful laboratory, says a Paris dispatch, is a machioe which plays chess and which seems actually to accomplish the work of a human brain. Senor Torres thus describes his own In- vention: "It is true that the game which the automat plays is not very com- plicated, but; nevertheless, for its opponent to win he must know how to play. The automat uses the white king against the castle and the black Ring. Its game is won in advance, but it must follow a certain course which leads it up to the finish. "When the automat's opponent moves the black king the automat begins by seeing if the movement conforms with the rules of the game. If not it protests by lighting a lamp. If the move is according to the rule the automat, taking into account the position of the three pieces decides what is the best 'move and then makes it. Thus tae game continues until the automat has checkmated the black king. If the automat's opponent should make a mistake, as I said before, the automat protests by lighting a lamp. But it will tolerate only three rats - takes. Then all its lights go out, and you may move your pieces as much as you want -the automat has finished. If you wish to begin a new game you invite the automat by a Special mavement to play another game. If it accepts it will turn' out all its lights, place its pieces on the board in their original ' positions, then wait for you to make the •first move. "The old automats, the most cele- brated of which were those of Vau- canson, imitated the appearance and the movements of man. To -day this idea has been abandoned, and intri- cate machines, which look like nothing but machines, have taken their places. The self directing tor- pedo is a good example of an auto- mat. The difficulty does not lie in the work of its helmsman, but in the determination of the movement to be executed. The machine deduces this movement from indicators by purely mechanical means. This, as in the calculating machines, is the brain- work of the man that the machine accomplishes. "It is not to be denied that auto- mats can have sensitive organs (monometers, thermometers, com- passes, etc.,) permitting them to recognize the circumstances which determine their movements, but science refuses to admit that they can possess the analogue of a brain. But I believe I have shown that this possibility theoretically does not offer the least doubt. Automats can be made as complicated as one may wish." Daguerre. The inventor of the process of pho- tography was Louis Daguerre, born at Corraeillec France, In 1789. He was first employed painting scenes foe the theatre, and while thus at work he discovered the method of representing night and day by the illumination of a transparent canvas painted on both sides. This was in 1822, but as early as 1814 Nicephore Niepce had made some experiments of photography on metal. In 1826 he and Daguerre became partners, but in a few years, the former died, leaving Daguerre to develop the re- markable art. The French Govern- ment gave the medal of the Legion of Honor to the inventor of the daguerreotype.

If man's instinct as a hunter could havo been diverted from birds to in- sects the history of economic affairs, and especially of agriculture, would have been very different. But he has continued killing birds, not merely as a sport, but often for greedy traffic, long after the need to do so passed away. The time has come when gov- ernmants must take serious thought for the protection of bird life in or- der that plant life on which human sustenance depends may not be jeo- pardized. and destroyed, Anxious to Please.

It has beeir said that Asiatic na- tions excelled others in the use of the sling, and the slingers of an ancient army used their tittle wea- pons with terrible effect. "These na- tives have such skill," says one old historian, "that it very rarely hap- pens that they miss their aim. What makes them so great in the use of the sling is the training given them from their earliest years by their mothers, who set up a piece of bread hung at the end of a rod for .a tar- get and Jet their children remain without food until they have hit it, when the child wile is the victor re- ceives the bread as the reward of his skill ..nd.patnee."

SECRET OF THE LOVE BIRIL It May Be Discovered In the Milk of Human Kindness. Everything else dwindles into insig- taticance when the We bird Wears- affectien, devotien, teaderaesa and IOW; burst gladly forth at her makda touch. * The road to happiness is attained through the generous distribution of the milk of human kindness. Success, achievement, wealth, prone- ineuce, are only worth while when shared by your friends. No matter how large you' can spell "success," it gives you little satisfaction if your ac- complishment Is not sincerely enjoyed by many. When surrounded by friends and loved ones, If youare fortunate In the acquisition of a generous disposi- tion and charming personality, what a joy it is to be able to give them cheer, emnfort, pleasure and satisfaction! Who does not feel better for the "God bless you" from an old lady to whotu you have shown some trifling Wildly attention? Mc is not thrilled by the joyous barking of his dog upon returning home? Fortunate are those who feel the anus of children around their necks, hear the baby's laugb and see the won- derful mites toddling toward them, happy and unafraid. All these joys sink into insignificance when the one and only one looks into your eyes. tender, true, steadfast. Words need not be spoken; nothing else matters. Then, and not until then, will you know the excess of hnppiness, the full realization of love, and then is the time to unite yourself stead- fastly to fidelity, magnanimous gen- erosity and open heartedness to all.

Only In a Vague Way Does Science Know What Causes it. Shutt is still one of the great mys- teries of surgery. Many theories have been put forward to explain just what it is. Each of these has seemed at- traetive until its inherent defects were discovered by experience. In a lecture before the British Royal College of Surgery Dr. A. Beadle Short reviewed these successive theo- ries and described the experiments et himself and others by which they were disproved. But researches by Dr. erne of Cleveland, Professor Sher. rhigton or England and Dr. F. Pike of Columbia university, NeW York, seemed to biro to offer at letult clew to the real nature of shock. • Professor Short did not formulate a definite theory, but suggested that sur- gical shock was dne to an inhibiting or paralyzing of the important nuclei In the regioe of the fourth ventricle of the brain and perhaps in the cere- bellum. These are "continually send- ing impulses down the spinal cord, maintaining its functional activity and increasing muscular tone." The effect of this paralysis is to cut off these im- pulses, whereupon the functions of the spinal cord are greatly reduced, muscular tone is abolisbed, and as a secondary result the blood pressure may fail. The respiratory center and perhaps also the vasomotor center share in this inhibition or paralysis. "Death," said Dr. Sbort, "is due to the accumulation of blood in the great veins," so that the flow does not pro- vide a proper filling for the heart. - New rink World. Candid Criticism. Mr. G. A. Storey, the well known artist, once told an amusing story of a family group he painted one year for the Academy. The picture was accept- ed and was hung "on the line," and he arranged to escort the family to the Academy to see how it looked. They were all grouped round the picture, each silently admiring his or her osva portrait, when two other people drifted up to have a look. Suddenly Mr. Storey was appalled to hear one of the newcomers say to hls companion, "What an exceedingly ugly lofting lot of people!" A Serious Fault. "It's nice of you to let me see your proofs, Mr. Lavender. Which do I consider the best? That's rather diffi- cult. There isn't one here that really does you justice-photograpWc justice, mean."

It is generally thought that Turk- ish women are far behhati their Western sisters in intelligent and in- dependent thinking. This, however, la not the ease, for during the last few years, the Turk's womenfolk have made great progrese in learning. pi tact, the educated Turkish women, the writer of the article continues, is in many ways far ahead of our Western sietere, for she is generally a linguist, and wbile we allow our daughters to spend moat of their time in sport, the Turk- ish girl is kept as a rule more Strict- ly to her studies, and as a, result she can. discuss politics and most other sub3ects of general interest with an ease that would astonish the average English girl. It is obvious, therefore, that the Turkish ‘,voman should assert laerself and emerge from her seclusion -not by discarding the "Cliarchaff," but by seriously taking up some work that will either help her financially or give her some more wide and gen- eral interest than she can possibly find if she remains at home hiding her talents behind the "kafess." Europeans are too apt to imagine says a Turkish correspondent, that Turkish woman as some one clad in diaphanous draperies and complete- ly shut off from the world. It is for the Turkish woman to prove that she is, if anything, more capable and able to take her part in life than many of her European sisters. There are many large .companiee and institutions in Constantinople that would be only too willing to employ women clerks could they but find good and accurate workers. Why, therefore, should. not Turkish girls apply for such employment, es- pecially as several are already. em- ployed in the new telephone com- pany? The Turkish woman has again an important part to play in her coun- try's history (she did great things in ancient times) I am quite con- vinced, and I believe that she Can only begin to play that part by as- sociating herself more closely with the business and public side of life, and by doing so she will not only help herself, but her country also in a very real and efficient manner. I think I am right in saying that there are many Turkish women to- day who would like to take up some serious occupation, either from pe- cuniary motive or merely as a mat- ter of interest outside the home life. For obvious reasons this was im- possible in the past, but now, with the constitution and its happy re- laxation of many of the old restric- tions that so handicapped the Turk- ish woman, things have changed somewhat, and the time ib right for her to take a part in • the outside world. Ancient Music. Exploration in Bible. lands has led to the discovery of a wealth of ma- terials throwing light upon the arts and crafts which are referred to in the Old Testament. The disetraeries relating to music have a charm all their own, and excavations at Nipper show, among other things, a shep- herd of 6,000 years ago sitting on the grass with a lamb on one side of him and his dog on the other, lazily pluck- ing at the strings of a leathered - covered lute.

An excellent washing fluid, says the Chicago Evening Post, is made by dis- solving two pounds of soap in three gallons of water, adding a tablespoon- ful of turpentine and three tablespoon- fuls of household ammonia. Soak the clothes in this for two or three hours before washing. Clothes treated in this way will not need boiling. They can be put in the water when one first rises, and by the time the breakfast is out of the way they will be ready. Another good washing fluid for very soiled clothes is made with equal qnan- tities of turpentine, kerosene and lime water mixed. Wet the soiled garments with the mixture and after letting them stand in water enough to cover them, wash with warm suds, All soaps are better if they are shav- ed and dissolved in water. Soap jelly is made by shaving a bar of soap till it becomes thick like jelly. A teaspoon- ful of -borax will soften it. Wash table linen by itself. Wash handkerchiefs alone. Don't use soiled suds for washing colored clothes or they will be muddy looking. Don't wash stockings in water used for other clothes, such as flannels, or they will be covered with lint. In removing clothes from the line, much trouble will be saved if they are pulled into shape ond folded smoothly. Especiaily is this true of table linen and bed linen. In ironing table cloths and napkins be sure to iron with warp. This should be ironed first on the wrong side and then on the right. Deafness Cannot be Cure I. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an isfiamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
