An Amazing Growth of English Language Shown by Statistics Was Spoken by Less.. Than 20,000,000 Century Ago and Now 160,000,000 Call it their Native Tongue, While 60,000,- 000 0,000,000 Others Also Speak It. Zurich, Switzerland, June 26.— The amazing growth of the English language, surpassing that of any oth- er during the past 100 years, was il- lustrated by statistics compiled by the newspaper Neue Auercher Zeit- ing and published her. English was spoken by less than 20,1)00,000 persons in 1830, the stat- istics showed, while at present no less than 160,000,000 people speak it natively, while an additional 60,000,- 000 understand it but do not consid- er it their native tongue. The news paper said that the rate of increase far outstripped all other languages, and that there is no part of the world ,where the language is not spoken to;'clay. • German was spoken by 32,000,- 000persons a century ago and now between 80,000,000 and 90,000,- 000 0,000;000 persons, the statistics showed. The use of the Dutch language in- creased from 6,300,000 to 15,000,- 000 5,000;000 ; Swedish from 3,200,000 to 7,- 500,000, ;500,000, and Danish from 2,100,- 000 to 5,000,000. The growth of the Latin Langu- ages on the other hand has been less rapid, with Italian slightly in the Iead. Spoken by 21,400,000 a cent- ury ago, that language is spoken by .15,000,000 while Spanish, which was second in increase, was used by 35,- 200,0000 a century ago and now is used by 50,000,000. French, the language or. diplom- acy, has increased from 32,400,000 to 45,000,000, but It is understood by an additional 75,000,000 foreign- ers. The newspaper said that Turkish was the only language showing a de- crease in usage. In 1830 the langu- age was spoken by 30,000,000 peo- ple, but now only 24,000,000 use it.

Where Po Whales Oo In the Winter Time It Is of 00 financial lmportenee to And out whore Ales go in the winter time, but it means a lot to the Falk- land Islands Governiucnt if it can discover where whales go during the dreary season. et Ills year. The principal 'portion of the reve- nue of the Falklands is derived from whaling during the summer season, and inure would he available if the mammals could be traeed during the winter. 14'iththis as one of the objects in view, the Falkland Islands Govern- 'ment bas r'eco'nditioned the Discov- ery, of Antarctic fame, and is Anano- ing a wonderful expedition to the Antarctic Ocean. What faeeinnting material such a cruise would furnish for a boy's book of adventure? For more than two years the Discovery will be chasing whales, and will endeavor to track them no platter where they go, Anywhere on tele ocean will be her destination, and it Is expected that she will Cover' over 60.000 miles, She will Barry special whaling gear, and on board will be a number of promie nent scientists, including Dr. Kemp, who has made a life-long study of the habits of whales. A redoubtable hut modest explor- er, Capt. J. 11. Stenhouse, D.S.O. who has sailed with Shackleton, will be her captain, and his officers and erew of twenty-five are all experienced voyagers, Whales are curious mammals, and have some baffling habits which the expedition will end<aver to elucidate, It Is going to be tough work to get this data, and may necessitate follow- ing the whales in their migration from the recognized summer haunts. Only scanty material is available at present as to what the whales do when summer is over in these Ant- arctic regions. end little is known about where they breed, The expedition will have another object, less romantic, perhaps, but equally important, This is the sur- veying of many portions of the Ant- arctic Ocean, and this branch of the voyage wfll be under the charge of Lieut. -Cont. Chaplin. There are many islands In various perts of this ocean about which little is known, and it Is alenost certain that the expedition will furnish in- valuable data to the Falkland Islands Government concerning the location and commercial possibilities of these.

Britain's first Highland regiment— the Black Watch—or, rather, the first six 'companies of it, was raised in 1725. Sines ther, the Black Watch has covered itself with glory on many a stricken field. It fought at Fonte- nay, won the historic red hackle against the French in 1795, and was wherever the fighting was heaviest In the Great War. The dark tartan worn by the regi-, ment, really an Argyle Campbell "sett," is the foundation of the Gor- don tartan, a small yellow stripe be- ing added. The Forbes tartan has also the Black Watch as basis, a white stripe being added in this case. "It is Interesting to note that in 1746 the wearing of tartan by civi- lians was forbidden in Scotland. A little later the tartan was held aut as a bait to these sante civilians to Join the Highland regiments. The Black Watch can claim an origin earlier than 1725, but tbe. first Black Watch was really more of a police force, formed, in the reign of .Charles II., to keep the peace in the Highlands. Camses of ,Landslides. In describing some troublesome landslides that hare recently taken place in England, owing to wet wea- ther, Mr. William Platt, author of "A Popular Geology," says: The causes are simple enough, Whenever the geological formation is that of alternate hard and soft rocks, and when this occurs in anY sufficiently steep bank, hill or moun- tain, there will always be the risk of a landslide, especially after heavy rains, which soak into the softer lay- ers and make them loose and slippery. Landslides may be divided into two classes — natural and artificial. The former occur in the wear and tear of nature. That picturesque mountain in the Derbyshire Pennines called \Cam Tor is so liable to landslides that it has been nicknamed locally The Shiver- ing Mountain." Another celebrated instance is the landslip near Shank - lin, Isle of Wight. At Merck, in Norway, a huge land- slide dammed up a river valley, caus- ing the water to elle up and form a lake. The people who lived In the village In the valley managed to escape, but their red -roofed cottages can be seen to -clay under the clear waters of the huge tarn thus formed. Possibly Cermet.

Seven glacier -fed lakes are on the route which will form half of the long -desired high Line trail from Banff. to Lake Louise. The second half will also skirt several glacial lakes. About August 8 the long distance trail ride from Lake Louise to the Col- umbia icefield will make a start. This icefield covers the largest and most spectacular body of ice left on the Noah American continent sur- rounded by peaks as high as 12,000 feet, The second trail ride will take nearly three weeks. The only golf trophy offered 011 the continent of America by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales Cup, presented to the Banff Spring Golf Club for annual com- petition by bona fide amateurs on the course there, will be among the outstanding prizes of golfdom when members o1 the "Canadian Golfer" tour special train which is crossing Canada from Toronto to Victoria and back this summer, arrive at Banff early in September. "Scotland and Glasgow are proud of Canada for the part she is play- ing in trans-Atlantic shipping," said T. L. Duff, well-known ship- owner and broker, when interview- ed at Banff recently. "The build- ing of a ship directly employs about 5,000 craftsmen on the Clyde," be added, "and the supplying of the materials and fittings required in construction indirectly benefit in- dustries throughout Scotland." Mr. Duff said that Scots felt that the t!anadlan Pacific whose recent ship orders had done so much for Scot- tish industry, was as ]ouch Scotch as Canadian, the founders having been of Scottish descent and ' so many of the ships of Scottish con- struction 0 During the past five months all milk production records at Strath- more farm have been broken,' Strathmore Sylvia in the mature class by producing 29,;71 pounds of milk moved the mature class record up •41323 pounds In th' four -wear -old clans Strathmore Texul ne 13 leln exceeded the fer- nier faint reee d by :,115 pmmde with a p od .c:i In a ".12e1 pounds Strathmore Tereie Sylvia. in the three-year-old etaes, finished en February 2'n,l. 1'2'3, with 23.5ne pound,; of milk, or 9.5513 pound: mere 3to n the fn -mer mooed.
