Ono half of the city's population was ren- dered homeless. The virtians were mostly ehildren and soldiers, A church in which the c!hiiklren were worskipping collapsed under the detonation, while the bar- racks in which 1,800 soldiers were having lur:eh was deetrayed. Immediately after the explosion fire broke out in various parts of the city. The paniesie:Lieeen ladienbttarits fled to the nearby wooas and inountaiss, from which they watched their homes burn. All telegraphic and telephonic communication from :Monastic with. the outride world was cut off. The first news of the disaster reached Bel- grade from refugees who managed to >the reach P�rritp, 34 miles to north- west of Moneetir. Several Serbian relief units were imme•diiateely organ- ized and started or lllonatstir. Details. of the explosion in t1onastir reveal that fire which wept the city following the blast bare made 80,000 homeless. Thoue anile of tons of munitions left over from the locket war mysteriously blew up and latest reports eay that 1,800 sok1lers, mostly Greekr, were virtually buried alive. Two hundred ehiidren are reported to have been killed er wounded in a church which was destroyed when a ®hell, tossed from the scene of the ex- plosion, landed on the steeple.

Durkee' .meet yearn inquiry has in- creased for blue print plans of a small capacity seed elevator suitable for operation by farmers' clubs. Aecord- coley, a study was made of the sub- ject, and data gathered and supplied the Chief Architect, Publie Works De- partment, who, in turn, has completed a set of plans and specifacations. These should prove sufficient for an elevator contractor to build from, in- cluding the placement of necessary machinery. The complete set ineludes five pages of blue prints and a manuscript of ttpeeifications and legal forms, the latter having to do with tendering au. the construction of the elevator. This set is now available to the public on application to the Seed Commissioner, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. A nominal fee cif $2 is charged for each set, and should accompany the • application. This type of elevator should give. efficient as well as eeonomieal service in handling seed, cleaning to grade, conditioning, bulking, storing, ware- housing, ete. It should be particular- ly adapted to districts where cam- mercifal quantities of registered seed grain are produced in addition to other seed crops. The plans allow for 1,000 square feet of warehouse space out the first floor, and sufficient office ae- comuodation. There is a frost -proof basement, which provides about 6,000 cubic feet for storage purposes. It will be seen, therefore, that in addition to handling and storing seed, the ele- vator may be used satisfactorily for grading, packing, and storing apples or potatoes, grinding grain, or stor- ing merchandise, pending its distri- bution. The specifications call for steel and cement construction. This, while it will ensure a ,practically fire -proof building, may prove more costly than some would care to 'consider. How- ever, When wood or other materials are used, the plans alone should prove valuable as a guide for building. The elevator is planned so as to be econ- omical in staff to operate it. One first-class mechanic should be suffi- cient, with temporary help in rush seasons. The total storage capacity of the bin is estimated at 8,000 bushels. Al- together, 28 bins are provided, 26 of which are comparatively small, each having a capacity of around 200 bush- els. The other two bine are ouch larger, with an estimated capacity of. 1,400 'bushels each. It will be seen that the number of bins is too many and the total capacity for storage too small to provide first-class service in storing and handling large quantities of commercial grain. On a few carload basis, however, commercial grain may be handled to advantage, by using the two large bins, which have spout out- lets and feed directly to a car when pn the track outside. _ Every bin has a,self-eleaning hop- per bottom, and empties by gravity either into the cleaning machines or baggers.Placements are provided for two cleaning machines en the sec- ond floor, leaving the first floor to - THE HISTORIC; QQAT RAGE The two crews, Oxford and Cambridge, photograelted after pass der Hammersmith Bridge with Ceenbeidge in front. The rare dnlsh a win for Cambridge by four and a half lengths. it] tally free for warehousing purposes, These machines may be fed directly from the storage bins above, or by the short elevator leg, which is prodded for the purpose. The seed pit in the basement is de- signed in two sections, one section which feeds the short elevator leg, the other the long Ieg, which carries the seed to the bins, The patent distributor at the ele- vator head of the long leg distributes seed to any bin as desired. The clean seed runs by gravity from the clean- ing machines to two 'small hopper bins. These are suspended from the ceiling of the first Baer, direetly under the outlets of the machines above. Both bins are equipped with baggers, hut' seed from them may be spouted back to either section of the pit. A bag chute is provided at two sides of the elevator on the second floor, from which cars may be loaded an the one side, and wagons on the ether. A man elevator of one -ton capacity runs from the :basement to the top floor, while a carrier and track is pro- vided on the first floor, to run fromthe receiving door to the shipping door of the elevator. This carrier also crosses the receiving grates of the pit. Weigh -scales are set in the track, aboutcentre the nt © f the floor. It is recognised that this elevator may be too small or lack sufficient warehouse space for some localities, in which case adjustment could he'. made, using the original plans as .a guide. Where farmers' organizations have purchased a warehouse or mil, and it is their intention to make al- tercations with a view to cleaning and storing seed, we believe they may gather much useful information from these blue print plans. It is believed, though, that their greatest value will be derived by those who build in ac- eordanee with the plans and specifica- tions themselves. Ise having these blue print plans prepared, the Seed Branch is looking to the future of seed production in Canada. The demand' throughout North America and Europe for seed grain, clover, and grasses is improv- ing; and it is evident that as soon as the general trade depression lifts, it will increase more rapidly. The grad ing of our "Northern Grown" seed for export will doubtless continue 'to be of very great advantage to the mar- keting of surplus Canadian seed sup- plies. -Department of.

Wasting Canada's Fish. We have sometimes been described as the most wasteful of -countries, in proportion to our size..Meantime our own Council of Scientific Research at Ottawa is unkind enough to say it is true! It states that the fish waste on the Atlantic and Pacific' coasts am- ounts. to some 300,000 tons annually. If instead of throwing away that quantity of:waste, Canadians utilized it as the same material would be util- ized elsewhere, it would be worth $10,- 000,000 a year, which is nota small for the detection ais Area. to res. men - Total Amount Owing Canada is About $130,000,000. A deep:itch from London says: --- The Brti=h Government has agreed to pay elf Britain's war debt to Can- ada 'an adz at the rate of $5,000,000 per month. The total amount awe;l is about 5130,000.000, which was the bal-' ante due after the respective =aunts covering war pureha es and other trausaetions were set oil against each , other. . The British Gni r c imine de- sired to discharge this debt at the par rate of sterling exchange, but with thio propasal the Canadian Fin- .., a'rce :.e ar.•trnert didy did p note eye to eye. It lies been agreed that this dispute is to be left in abeyance at present, and it is possible that the gradual recovery of sterling will minunize if not obliterate the cause of contention befure the time for the final adjustment is reached. Th monthly payments of $5,000,000 each aro to be nada in the interim and this arrangement is already in operation, Canada is perhaps the only one of the Dominions which is in the fortunate position of being a. creditor of the Mother Country, most, if not all the others, being debtors for considerable amounts.
