WATER -POWERS OF CANADA.
side of the river, of about 450,000 H. P.
In other words, instead of 'millions' of
horse -power being available, as has
been sometimes stated, it appears that
half, and by all odds the better half,
of Canada's usable share of Niagara
Falls power has already been placed
under private control."
The volume embodies all the useful
information regarding the water -powers
of Canada that has heretofore been
Collected and this has been supplement-
ed and, in many cases, verified, by field
surveys, conducted by the engineers of
the Cominission. In fact, all the in-
formation regarding the Maritime Pro-
vinces was obtained in this way last
year by the experts of the Commission.
The data regarding the Western Pro-
vinces was found to be so incomplete
that it was decided to make special in.
vestigations of the powers in those
Provinces, the results of which will be
punstial-essarr-year In the form of a
report on the "Water -Powers of Wes-
tern Canada." The engineers of the
Commission are now engaged upon this
work.
The first inventory ever taken of the
water -powers of Canada has been com-
pleted by the Commission of Conserva-
tion and the results embodied in a large
and profusely.. illustrated report just
`au-'assbed. The investigation -mad:. Ix t;er
Commission, which has extended over
a period of two years, shows that there
are 1,016,521 horse -power developed
from water -power in Canada. Every
phase of the subject from the lawa
governing the disposition of water -
powers in the various provinces, to the
actual physical data regarding each in-
dividual water -power concerning which
information was obtainable, is treated
in the report. In addition, there is a
very full bibliography of 30 pages, and
appendices giving, among other things,
the text of the laws concerning the ex-
port of power and also of the treaty
recently concluded with the United
States regarding the establishment of
an Internationbl Joint Commission,
The volume opens with two chapters
of an introductory nature that are con-
cerned mainly with the general econo-
mic bearing of water -powers on nation-
al development. The relation of water
to agriculture, mining, navigation,
domestic supply and so forth, is dealt
with, and the principles to be used in
interpretation of water -powers
owers
the p
data are stated and discussed critically.
The broad and optimistic gtatements
very often made on the platform and
in the press regarding our vast water-
power resources are deprecated. To
quote from the Report, "General state-
ments implying that the aggregate
amount of water -power must be great
because the total water area, or water-
shed area is so great,: or because there
are so many lakes and rivers, are gene-
ralities to be cr" sidered of very little
definite value. . . . One of the
chief dangers of such generalities is to
create in the popular mind a feeling of
unwarranted assurance that, even
though desirable water -rights are being
granted by a government, yet there is
so much • left, that no apprehension
ruiaV -- be entertained regarding the
amount of power rights being parted
with."
A chapter is devoted to the water -
powers of each province in which the
general features of the province as re-
gards water -power development are
discussed and an outline given of the
law whereby powers are granted or
leased to private individuals or corpora-
tions. The larger developments are
also described. The statistical data
given in tabular form includes the
height of the fall, the horse -power that
may be developed, the present develop-
ment and the main uses to which the
power is applied such as lighting, pulp
and paper making, etc. Reference is
also made to the possibility of increas-
ing the amount of power des sloped by
storage reservoirs and dams where
such are feasible.
The power situation in Ontario is
treated very fully, special attention
being given to the power possibilities
at Niagara and the conditions affecting
development there. Each of the power
companies operating there, whether on
the Canadian or American side, is de-
scribed in detail. A significant refer-
ence is made to the granting of fran-
chises to develop power at Niagara
Falls. The Report states that the low-
water flow of the Niagara river would
yield at the Falls, about 2,260,000 H. P.,
of which Canada's share (one-half),
would be 1,125,00J H P. "Franchises
have already been granted," it goes on
to say, "and plants partially completed,
for the development on the Canadian

MILBURN'S LAXA-LIVER PILLS.
They stimulate the sluggish liver,
clean the coated tongue, sweeten the
breath, clean away all waste and poison-

at well as cure all sickness arising from
a disordered condition of the stomach,
liver and bowels.
Mrs. Matthew Sullivan, Pine Ridge,
N.b., writes: -"I had been troubled with
liver complaint for a long time. I tried
most everything I could think of, but
none of them seemed to do nie any ggood,
but when I at last tried Milburn's Lasa -

thanks to The T. Milburn Co. I would
not be without them if they cost twice
as much."

OUR LOSSES BY FIRE.
That loss of life and property by fire
in Canada is far bigger than it need be
is the general opinion of experts and
thinking people generally. Among the
causes attributed to fires in the month
of November are: Five upset lamps,
three incendiarism, two gasoline ex-
plosions, two careless smokers, two
overheated stoves, and two defective
wiring. The origin of a large number
of the fires which occurred during the
month were reported as unknown.
Although the total loss by fire in
Canada during November was very
great, amounting to $1,506,000, it was
still nearly half a million less than 'in
the corresponding period in 1910.
During October the loss was $580,-
750.
In November there were twenty-
seven fires, at which the loss was $10,-
000 and over.
The number of deaths from fire was
20, as compared with 17 •for October,
and 19 for the corresponding period in
1910.
The animals destroyed by fire were:
56 horses, 51 cows, and a large number
of hogs and poultry. There were also
destroyed 25 tons of hay, 200 bushels
of oats.

by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Those days of verse 1 are spoken of
in Gal. iv, 4, as "the fullness of
time;" the time appointed before the
world was, for the great deliverer to
come, for "known unto God are all His
works from the beginning of the
world" (Acts sv, 18). He declareth
the end from the beginning and doeth
according to His will both in heaven
and on earth, turning the king's heart
whlthersoever 13e will (Isa. xlvi, 10;
Dan. iv, 35; Ps. cxaxv, 0; Prov.
xxi. 11. So it came to pass that the
world ruler's decree was used by the
Lord of all the earth to fulfill His pur-
pose and to cause the Prince of the
kings of the earth. the King of kings
and the I.ord of lords to be born at the
long before appointed time and place.
]tut so out of harmony with God is
this world which He made and the
people who inhabit it that there was
no room for the Creator in the world
whirls He bad made and no welcome
for Him. "There .was no room for
them in the inn" (verse 7). Does the
thought of it lead you to 'say, "Ob,
come to my heart, Lord Jesus -there
is room in Iny heart for Thee?" if so
they you . may rejoice in the comfort'
of John 1, 12; Rev. iii, 23.
The story of the shepherds takes ua
back to Abel and to Moses and David
and Amos, and the darkness makes us
think of the darkness that now is and
will be till He shall come again in His
glory (Isa. Is, 1-3). The night is far
• pent the dayis at hand,and the time
spent, 1
for our new bodies and the redemp-
tion of Israel is ever drawing nearer
(Rom.-xiii, 11, 12; Luke xsi, 28). The
shepherds were doing just as they bad
always done, watching over their
flocks, when the angel of the Lord
calve suddenly upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone round about
them (verse 9). Moses and David and -
Amos were keeping their flocks, Ellsha
was plowing, Peter and John and oth-
ers at their nets, Matthew at the re-
ceipt of custom, when the special call
came to them. It is required of some
that they leave their former calling
and of others that they continue where
they were and therelu abide with
God (1 Cor. vit. 23. 24), Note the
visits of the Lord to such lowly peo-
ple as Hagar, Manoah and his wife,
Gideon and others and in Isa. ivii,
15, Ills two dwelling places. To Zach-
arias and Mary and the shepherds
there was given the heavenly "Fear
not" (verse 10; i, 13, 30). It was also'
the angel's message on the resurrec-
tion morning (Matt. xxviii, 5). How
can we explain our slowness to tell to
all people the good tidings of great
,joy? Is it because the tidings have
never brought us the joy unspeakable
of I Pet. f, 8? The lepers of 11 Kings
vii, 8, 9, put us to shame. What can
we say to Christ? Suddenly a multi-
tude of the heavenly host Is heard by
the shepherds saying, "Glory to God
in the highest and on earth peace,
good will toward men" (verse 14).
Listen to the testimony of more than
a hundred millions of angels in Rev.
v, 11, 12, and then if you know that
you are redeemed join more heartily
in the song of Rev. v, 9, 10.
The Lord Jesus in all His life on
earth never sought His own glory nor
His own will, and it must have been
with joy that He said to His Father in
His great prayer, "I have glorified
Thee on the earth" (John vi, 88; viii,
50; xvii, 4). Our motto should be
"that God in all things may be
glorified" (I Pet. iv, 11; I Cor. x,
81). When the Lord Jesus shall have
become the peace of Israel and shall
have spoken peace to the nations
through Israel then quickly shall the
whole earth be filled with the glo-
ry of the Lord (Mic. v, 5; Zech. ix,
10; Num. xiv, 21). Sia people shall
be willing in the day of His power
(Ps. ex, 8), The angels, having ex.
ecuted their commission, went away
into heaven; simply Went home. How
easy it sounds, how wonderful and
glorious it is, that we have ever with
ns these ministering ones who behold
the face of our h'ather in heaven
(Heb. 1, 14; lllatt, xvl11, 10). The
shepherds did not seem to question
for one moment the good hews they
had heard, and they considered the an-
gels as the Lord's messengers, for
they said, "Let us now go even unto
Bethlehem and see this thing which Is
come to pass, which the Lord bath
made known unto ns" (verse 15). They
did not delay, but made haste, and
found Mary and Toseph. and the babe
lying in a manger, as they had been
told (verses 12, l0). it was not tiny
kind of a 6gurntive manger. but liter-
ally a place from which rattle ate
their food. As a ruleethe statelnents
of Scripture are plain (iteral scute
