Next morning I purchased a small

After we had gotten there we went
out to examine the rock. In the

indentation that did not look natural.
We waited patiently until one o'eloek
rolled around, and I put the three
feet of cane pole in the indented

I sent him up to the barn for a spade

It is Interesting to read that the
little village of Golspie, in Sutherland -
shire, England, claims an usually big
number of military decorations in
proportion to its population, The
number of decorations received by the
inhabitants is thirty, and the village
population 1s 1,660. Altogether, about
one-fourth of the population served in
the forces during the war, Is this a
record, or can auy other village estab-

Splendid Record Achieved-
during
chieved-.during 1918
HE year 1918 was for the business of life assurance a year of suptlme achievement.
Owing to the combined effect of the war and the influenza epidemic death claims
were unusually high. The payment of these claims enabled the Companies to
render an unprecedented measure of public service, and to fulfill to a more noteworthy
degree than ever previously the beneficent purpoge for which they were founded.
The record achieved during 1918 by the Sun Life of Canada was one of particularly strikieg success.
For the first time in the Company's history new assurances paid for exceeded Fifty Million Dollars. The
growth in size, strength and prosperity accentuates the Company's position as not merely the leader among
Canadian Life offices, but one of the great insurance corporations of the world.
The Company's financial .power is emphasized by its large Assets, income and Surplus. Dudes the year
$7,460,000 was added to the Assets, which at Decernber 31st, had reached the huge total of $97,620,000.
The income is now $21,651,000, while ;he undivided Surplus is $8,027,000.

THE SMALLEST POILUS.
French Woe Dogs Were Often Men-
tioned In Despatches.
In the France military kennels you
will find dogs from "every walk in
life," of every size and of nil colors
and all breads, They aro )rice little
fellows, these canine pulius, says e
writer, as peace loving and as care-
free as lltoir master comrades In arms.
The terrifying fuss they masse when
you approach (heir kennel is nothing
more limn an incitation to pot them.
That had to be explained to rte the
GDR time I visited a cantonment, for
as I was led to where some forty were
chained the rnekeL with which they
greeted mo made we doubt their In-
tentions. Now I tutderstaud thoir
French better.
Daring the trench warfare, when
the sten were living in dirt and lllth 'e
much of the time, rats not only en-
dangered their health but also des-
troyed thoir stores. Nearly every
company had its rat etttclier—a dog
that was au exi,ort in dispatching the
!troublesome rodents: and then, of
course, there were Lha Red Cross doge
• that could find wounded men, trot
back with soma article of clothing, and
guide help to the disabled soldier.
Sentinel and liaison dogs wero of
the greatest vatule. The former went
into' advance posts with his master,
and was trailed to give the alarm by
a low growl when anyone approached:
Ills ability to hear an advancing man
at four hundred metres was of great
value at night: The liaison clog car-
ried messages from one of itis two
masters to the other, It took about
three months to train dogs to travel
as far as three kilometers in this
work. Many dogs could be relied up-
on to carry messages in both direc-
tions. A. liaison team 'bonstetcd of
two dogs and two trainers who always
worked together.
Real poilus they were, Lao; no em-
busques among them! .They shared
all -the hardships and the dangers of
the front line. and they shared, too,
the military honors. When their re-
giment got the crotx de guerre, so did
they; and often they were mentioned
in despatches.
One day 1 visited a small, fuzzy -
haired, dirtyyellow•and•bluek, tailless
dog called Bouee. Three times le had
been cited for itis services. The last
citation was received in a day of
heavy action, wltan all telephone wires
had been destroyed and nouee was the
only means of communication between
a commandant and his three, It read:
"Donee No. Hite. 1375A,

filling his duties in a perfect manner.

at each shell the animal crouched to
the ground and immediately after-
wards continued his way to his deist!.

and itis quickness; nor does Imo allow
anything to distract him when he is

But with all his military honors

WIIEN TOWNS TOBOGGAN
Landslides That Have Caused Dam-
age to Life and Property.
Three mountains are moving in
Wales, and especially at Victoria
Village, near Ebbed Vale, the damage
is terrible. Houses collapsed by the
dozen, waterways were blocked, and
floods filled the lower ground. In
Victoria alone sixty houses wero de-
molished.
Many people are under the impres-
sion that the trouble is caused by
earthquake. It is nothing of the
sort. Rain is at the bottom of it.
This is a very wet district; the rain
sinks into the ground and lodges in
the different strata or layers of rock
until at Iaat one layer gets so spongy
and soft that it begins to flatten out
and everything on top of it slides
forward.
All around the British coasts you
can see samples of the same sort of
thing on a smaller scale. Only the
other day there was a big slide on
the North Devon coast, between Lyn -
mouth and Ilfracombe Part of the
main road fell into the Bristol Chan-
nel.
At Lymne Regis a strip of cliff,
three -quartet's of a mile long, 240
feet broad, and 160 feet high, went
crashing into the sea.
The two womb landslides in mod-
ern times were the fall of the Ross -
berg in Switzerland and the great
landslide at Naimi Tal, a well known
Indian health resort. The Rossherg
is made of sandstone and "conglom-
erate." The whole thing went sud-
denly, filled a large valley and in-
stantly buried three villages and 900
people,
At NainnI Tal they itad 25 inches
of rain in forty hours before the big
fall. Now, 25 inches of rain is about
as much as fallg in the East of Eng-
land iia a whole year. The steep
hillside above the lake melted like
treacle, and went roaring into the
lake, carrying hundreds of victims to
their death,
