Woman Writer Describes a e Passage From France . to England. • T have been tip in the air all the afternoon, writes Mazie Clement, from London, I was nervous and frighten- ed l nd perhaps a trifle incoherent, but I had a greed time. Although many have taken this trip from Paris to Lon- don, yet'1 was the first woman to en- counter a terrific storm. The aviatiuu field is a dreary place at best, and on this particular occa- sion a drizzling rain, added to the pes- simistic comments of those who were already ou the field, came very near making me change my decision. How-' ever, I mustered up courage and climb- ed into the plane, leaving Le Boudget, ton miles outside Paris, at 12.30 p.m. It was a closed airplane and the pilot rennirked: "It is like a Pullman car, so don't be the least afraid of the weather." It took about five minutes to heat up the, engine. Then, with a swirl that blew blinding dust in all directions, we started. I had sensations, plenty of them. The strangest one was that I had absolutely no feeling of ascending at all. On the contrary, the earth seemed suddenly to drop away dram under us and I almost kicked a hole in the bottom ot the gondola trying to get my feet back before we disap- peared altogether. Eager Longing For Land. Members of tate crew must have had similar inclinations when they made their fr t asePrts, for they were look- ing ok- ing at me and seemed to know exactly %what was in my mind—"I wish I were back on terra firma again" I cpm- nrented, "Too late now, miss." Then. I smiled at the pilot, Charles McMullin, and he pointed to the earth below. We were 1,000 feet high, and i I quickly concentrated my gaze on my feet. 1 looked again at the bottom dropping out of the world. Now there was a terrific explosion, surely the plane was being reuded in- to bits. Ilut no, we were still in the air. I looked out and saw the towns tying below that looked exactly like a map with little lines running , through it indicating where the roads were, and the trees formed into what looked like cabbage patches. Then I had the sensation of standing still, of not going at all. By this time we were about 5,000 feet high and- m::.king wide, graceful circles over the funny looking World •••down under us. One din threw me al- together out of my seat, and I closed my teeth to keep my heart from jump- ing out of my mouth.. A. few minutes later we dashed into a strong head wind, which developed into a heavy storm of hail, snow and rain. Riding Rough and Plunging. This was over Veaumont sur Oise and continued twenty minutes. At times the' riding was heavy, rough, dipping and plunging, blit we soon left it far behind us and straightened out for a long run. We readied the English Channel -at 2 o'clock. There was nothing' but angry elands around us. I felt sure that if 1 would just put my hand up I could pull a cloud down into the plane. Then I became a trifle ner- vous. I drew out a book, "Tho High Romance," which I had in my bag, and read a whole -chapter. I looked out. It was twenty minutes to 3 and we were soaring again 'over the. land. Suddenly the plane gave a decided dip. I gasped. It gave an- other dip, a longer one this time. We were coming nearer and nearer to the trees and, finally, with one swift and graceful circle, we were landed safely in Houndslow. No, I wasn't a bit sick, but I was very, very cold. Millions of Acres in Waste. The total land area of the world (excluding the polar regions) is about 30,000,000,000 acres, according to the International`_ Institute of Agriculture. What proportion of this is productive agriculturally is not definitely known,- but nown;but the institute has collected data for thirty-sist countries having a total land area of 15,071,209,000 acres, of which. it is calculated, or estimated, that 4,491,691,000 acres, or 80.5 per cent,,, are productive, and 1,318,832,000 acres, or 8.'e per cent., are cutivated land (including fallow land also arti- ficial grasses). The productive land includes, besides cultivated land, nat- ural meadows and pastures, forests, wood lots and laud devoted to culti- vated trees and, lirubs,e - Trees.

THE TREASURE OF GOOD HEALTH Easily Maintained Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pips, Tlrere is not a nook or corner in Cha- nada, in the cities, the towns, ooi lages, on the farms and in the mines and lumber camps, where Dr, Williams Pink Pills have not been used, and from one end of the country to the other they have brought back to bread- winners, their wives and families, the splendid treasure of new .health and Strength. You have only to ask Four neigh- bors, and they can tell yon of some rheumatic or nerve -shattered man, some suffering womau, ailing youth or anaemic girl who owes present health and strength to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For more than a quarter of a century these pills have been known not only in Canada, but througlhoflt all the world, as a reliable tonic, blood -making medicine. The wonderful -success of Dr. Wil- Hams' Pink• Pills is due to the fact that they go right to the root of the disease in the blood, and by making the vital fluid rich and red strengthen every organ and every nerve, thus driving out disease and pain, and mak- ing weak, despondent people bright, active and strong. Mr. W. T. John- son, cue of the best known and most highly esteemed men in Bunenburg county, N.S., says:—"I am a Provin- cial Land Surveyor, and am exposed for the greater part of the year to very hard work travelling through the forests by clay and camping out by night, and I find the only thing that will' keep me up to the mark is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I leave home for a trip, in the woods. I am as interested in baiting my supply of pills as provisions, and on such occasions, I take them regularly. The result is I am always fit. I +sever take cold, and can digest all kinds of,foocl such as we have to put up with hastily cooked in the woods. Having proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as a tonic and health. builder, 1: am never with- out there, and i lose no opportunity in -recommending them to weak people whom I meet." Dr. 'Williams' I'Ink Pills should be kept in every home, and their occa- sional use will keep the blood pure and ward off illness. You can get these pills through any medicine dean er, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. .Lumbermen .Advocate Sur vey of Forests. • The .. pariad.}ail,: _ umbernlan's As- sociation represents one of Canades greatest primary industries --an laden - try directly dependent upon the ex- 'plaitation, of a natural resource, As a business organization it clearly re- cognizes that its peynlauent prosperity is bound up with an administrative policy that will ensure continuous pro- duction of raw material on our forest areas. One of tree first essential steps is to ascertain as definitely as pos- sible the extent and character of our existing timber stand. At 'its last an- nual meeting, therefore, the'•Associa- ion pas,sed the following resolution ex- tending its strongest. approval and support of the forest survey now be- ing conducted by the Conservation Commission: "Whereas an accurate survey of all standing timber in Canada, showing the various kinds of lumber, the quail `ty, location and accessibility, together with available means of transporting saltie to the nearest market, also a re- port of .all cut -over lands which are suitable only for forest' growth, with the extent and location of same, would be most valuable information, not only to lumber operators, but to the various Dominion and Provincial governments, thus enabling said' governments to de- velop to the fullest extent a perman- ent forest policy which would have the effect of conserving the great natural resources contained in Cana- da's forests. "Be it therefore resolved: That the Canadian Lunlbermen's ,Association assembled in St. John, N. B., at its eleventh Annual Convention urge upon the proper governmental authorities to provide adequate financial assist- ance, :and clothe the Commission of Conservation with the necessary authority, for the purpose of accom- plishing the end in view." The greatest factor in the adoption of practical conservation methods is to liave the unqualified support of pub- lic opinion. It extremely encourag- ing to know that the business interests engaged In the exploitation of Cana- dian forests are not desirous that either governmental or commercial policies should be of a hand-to-mouth character. Our forest -areas must be kept productive in perpetuity. Pulp Froin Pine Chips.

The world will grow better only through the development of education and the adoption of wholesome habits of life by the people. What we need above all thins else is a better development of thrift and a closer application of its principles.

The Justinian Code of Laws of the year 528 still carries weight in English law, says a London despatch. At any rate, it has been used to decide a knotty point of law for which the re- cords failed to find a solution. The point for which the Enrporor Justinian's code has been made to serve was "Does the owner of bees wlh leave their hive and swarm some distance away retain property rights in them?" Judge Gwynne James, who foinid himself obliged to settle the point at the Rath County Court, quoted the law' as laid down by Emperor Justinian to the effect that a smarm belonged to a man as long as they were in his sight and could be easily pursued; other- wise they became the property of the first person who saw them. His ruling was that the swarm in question had not been in the owner's sight when it flew from the hive. Therefore ho gave judgment against the original owner. To Australia in Seven Days.
