sea -floor.
It might be asked, haw do they pre-
vent the sea -Boor from caving in upon
them? No trouble at all about that.
Enough of the iron -bearing material
is left untouched to rr eve as pillars,
upholding the roof.
Elsewhere on the coact of Nova
Scotia coal is mined in the salve any,
under the sea. It is an exeellent quali-
ty of bituminous coal.
On the coast of Cornwall, In Eng-
land, mining is done for tin beuc:ith
the ocean, the lodes being followed
out from shore, The bottom is of
solid granite, and the workmen can `•
actually hear the boulders rolling
about over their heads, as the storm -
waves drive theist about.
In one case a vein extraordinarily
rich in tin was found at extreme low
water in a patch of rock. A b i;khe.ad
was built around tho rock, ani a shaft
sunk, large quantities of precious ore
being taken out before a storm} wiped
out the works.
In California, at Sumnierland, inay
be seen the strange spe.ctacie of oil -
derricks far out In the sea. They are
getting petroleum from beneath the
ocean floor, following out the oil-bear-
ing strata.'
They are even dredging for dia-
monds now off the coart of what was
German Southwest Africa, and very
successfully,
the whoe Dominion Government:,
whose care and hospitality through-
out my visit have been so generous
and so kind. The list four months will .
influence the whole of illy life and I
shall never' be happy if many: months
elapse without a visit to my hone on
this side of the Atlantic. •
"My best wishes to all he people of
Canada till we meet again.

Recent studies have convincedthe

with milk is doe to• imperfectly

A' milk pail or can it thoroughly
washed; it looks rcr!ac .l•, clean. Nev-
ertheless, around the e,t-o c° the bot-
tom (inside) "a little residue of milk
remains. If water bo put into the re-
ceptacle and shaken about, twenty-
four hours later, m'crosceplc exainn1ua-
tion will show it to be full of bacteria.
If new milk be put into the can Abel
imperfectly cleansed, there Is already
a bacterial culture present to infect
it, the germs repidiy rna tip1l ing in
the fresh supply.
To got rid of thio trouble for the
milk farmer, .the dairy division of the
U.S. Department of .A„ ric Iititro has
'invented a simplo sterilizing apparatus
that can be cheaply made at home. A
small boiler produces steam that ie
emitted through a short vertical' pipe,
over which the can or pall may be in.
