Huge masses of ice have sometimes been found after hailstorms, but they were doubtless the result of several hailstones freezing together while ly- ing in a heap on the ground. The greatest possible size of a single hail- stone cannot be stated with any cer- tainty. In August, 1925, a hailstone weighing four and one-half pounds fell through the roof of a house at Hetdgraben, Schleswig-Iiolstetn. This stone was nearly ten inches long. There have been several bigger hail- stones, but they were not so well authenticated. "Why," the Weatherman ie asked, "is a hailstone built up, like an onion, of successive layers?"

There are some signs of slackening in various trades ; these it is claiming are seasonal and will pass with the end of stock taking and vacation periods. In the United Sta- tes there has been for some weeks a more or less sanely conducted argu- nentas to whether an new has not era t been entered upon ; an era in white the old alternations of prosperity and riull times will be kno wn no more, stability of industry and trade taking their place. Time will testify as to the truth of the pro -arguments; those contrary are as emphatic, and all are interesting. One trouble there is on this side of the line, is that too many are prone to judge conditions by the funetios of the stock market. These at the moment, end especially in Canada, are great food . for the pessimists. But in most cases idle criterion is a poor one, The mining industry, for instance, is the lustiest growing inf- ant that Canada has ever raised, Years ago the voices of men who knew and tried to tell Canadians of the mineral riches of their country, were as those raised in the wilder- ness. To -clay actual mining condi- Lions are such to amaze any who have the patience to study them with • a little care. It would seem as if the country, with Ontario Is Lne van, was destined to lead the wide world in its mineral output and returns there- from. Yet if those actually engaged in mining were to be dependent upon the vagaries of stock exchange pric- es, riges, the result would be a cessation of work and a crippling of industry pale alyzing in their effects.
