EASTERN DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATIOTI
Speakers at the 31•t .Annual electing
Ib 1,1 at Pieter.
A .lespateh from Pi^ -ton, Ont., says
The gospel of dairying and agriculture:
was ably preached before the assembled
rnernbers o the Eastern Onlarto Dairy-
men's Associalket, which began its 31st
omitted meeting here on Wednesday.
Fully fifteen hundred persons gathered
i:1 the First Methodist Church, when
Hon. Sydney Fisher, Itlinister of Agri-
culture. Ottawa; C. (:. James, Deputy
Minister of Agriculture, Toronto; Sena-
tor Derbyshire, Brockville; Dr. Currie,
M 1'. 1'., and Thomas McGillicudy,
pronto, were the principal speakers.
.Much stress was laid upon the very
marked advance in agriculture during
the last five years, the need for still
further advancement along scientific
lures and the need• for practical educa-
tion o! the dairy farrier.
-\\-hat Canada has accomplished In
the dairy industry is largely due to
the dairy associations, said Mr. Fisher.
Ile referred to the fact that though the
farmers generally in Canada this year
had had n hard year, yet uoIwilhstand-
Ji g the agricultural situation in Inc
Dominion they had come through well.
:\Inch of the success of farming in these
latter days was attributed to the agricul-
tural col:egos.. Ile urged that the youth
of the country stay on the farms.
Mt'. James referred to the fact That
the great work educating the ape*riael-
turist had long been directed safely to
the man until the Idea of the woman's
institutes was conceiver. Ile thought
there was more promise in This work
then any other association in the far-
mer's interests.
Mr. John R. Dargavet, M.P.i'., of
ilgin. nit president, made tiie opening
speech of the convention. Ile said the
(Miry season of 1907, as far as the ex-
port movement was concerned. had
t.(en disappointing, the exports of both
1titter and cheese showing n marked
falling off from ihose of Inst year, as
well as being considerably short of the
overage of the past few sensons. The
npgregnte value of Cnnadinn cheese and
totter exports for 1907 w•oule be 'n
round members about $23,000,000,
ata`nst $'9,000.000 for 1906. '11te Qnnt1
'mike of cheese wos due to the very
late Spring mud the poor pa9'urage
during the season. 'Towards The close
of the season Ilse make was also re-
duced by the cold, wet %waiter, coupled
with the shortage and high prices o'
food used at that time to keep up Rte

Mayor Guthrie that one-third of the
population of That part. of the city is in

practically overlooks the Spritfg Garden
district, situated between two high bills.

Experiments of a Russian Physician as
10 the Nature et Death.
A curious series of experiments on the
persistence of life in fishes has been
c. nducted by Prof. Kun11a1:ko, physiolo-
gist at Tomsk, from which he deduces
that even decapitation docs not produce
instantaneous deuth of the lisvul$, but
nterely cessation of functioning for lack
of nutrition and oxygen supply ',surveyed
through the blood.
itis most conclusive experiment was
performed by cutting a fish in two jus'
below the heart. The two parts of the
betty showed signs of Ilfe for two or
three minutes, in tho form of muscular
ie,nll'u'tions in both parts and attempts
to breathe by the upper one. '('hen they
became motionless, but even yet the
upper section was far from dead.
Tho professor had ready a nutritive
Fe lotion strongly charged with oxygen,
and using this he started artificial circu-
lation in the upper section of the fish.
The heart began to beat and the gills to
vibrate, 11.; muscles became. °Mine and
the mouth opened and closed. In a
word, the functions of all the organs
seemed to be completely restored. 'The
Ile!. had not been dead at all, but had
merely been suffering from extreme
anaemia.
This stimulation was maintained for
s(veret hours, the fish exhibiting, but in
a diminishing degree, all the character-
istics of life. Real death gradually took
p(ssession of the organism. The cells
becuine diseased or old. The power of
the heart, however, was marvellous. It
retained its power to beat, Prof. Kon-
Iiabko asserts, someti►nes for All entire

pi tired from the nervous centres. 'l'hsee
died themselves after different periods of
resistance, the more highly organized
ones in the surface of the brain losing

The professor hopes to formulate from
it;- observations Important theories as to
the essential nature of life and the causes
of death. Ile thinks They may help phy-
sicians to find a treats of preventing
death in cases where the general tissues
of the body have not lost vitality and
where the clanger arises from injury or
organic losion or a condition of disease
which can bo eradicated if life can be
maintained long enough for the purpose.

BATTERED MAN-OF-WAR

Great Warships ilnmmed Shells Through

Tho old battleship hero, of the Brit-
ish navy, rias been battered into scrap
iron by mot!ern shed lire rained into
tier by two of the newest mena,-Oar
in King Edward's fleet. The twenty-
year -old warship, long since useless as
a lighting machine, has shored the fate
of the veteran Belisle, which two or
three years ugo was sacrificed to mod-
ern gunnery.
The Hero now lies a shattered hulk
of! the Kentish coast, and would have
gond to the bottom but for the fact
that she rests on a shoal called the
Kentish► Knock. At high outer site 13
nearly submerged.
Gunnery is now the chief aim of the
British Admiralty. Ordinary target
practice Is not realistic enough, So
ships must be fired at to lest the ef-
fect of modern shell on armor -clad
vessels.
The doomed ship was moored on tno
Kentish Knock shoal, near the mouth
of tate 'Thames, and prepared for the
sacrifice. Her sides were divided into
lettered sections by bands of white
paint, ns a guide to the classification
of the bits scored. 'Then elle was left
mono to await the rain of shells which
was to be poured into her.
DOMINION ONE OF SIIIPS.
Tho ships elected to practice their
gunnery upon the old Hero were the
Dcrninlon and the Ilibernin, two of Gas
most modern battleships In (1►e royal
navy. Their guns were trained on the
armor -belt and gun turret of the hero,
the angor of which is from eight to
twelve inches thick. 'The IombnrJment
commenced al a rango of between G;
000 and 7,0e0 yards -a distance at which
modern battles may be fought.
After a few ineffectual rounds, 11:e
gunners of the Dominion and the Hi-
bernia found the range, and then com-
menced a deadly stream of 12dncls
shells. If the hero had been in fights
ing condition she would • have Leen
