"Are you Minister Wright?"
"Yes,"
"Take me."
Mr. Wright explains in his book,

A SELF-PROPELLING RAFT.
Will Sall to England—May Revolu-
tionize B.C. Lumber Exports.
It is announced that Sir James Ball,
British Timber (Controller, has given
an order for 2,000,000 feet of cut lum-
ber to be shipped from British Colum-
bia to the United Kingdnut in the form
or at demountable ship propelled by its ,
own steam. Industrial Progress, Van-
couver, gives the following description'
of this lumber ship:
"The scheme is to build the cut
lumber into a ship and after arrival at
destination to remove therefrom the •
machinery, which can be sent bock for
use over again.
The method of construction is very
simple. Blooks are first laid for the
keel and fore-and-aft and cross tim-
bers are then placed in position. When
sufficient material has been thus put
together to ensure buoyancy enough
to keey the bottom high out of the
water, the vessel will be launched with
donkey engines on hoard, These are
to be•used to lift the lumber out of the
water and no place it in the ship.
Tho lumber will be clanped down se-
curely with bolts and nuts for every
eight feet of depth, On arrival at
destination, the fastenings can be
readily taken off so as to leave the
lumber and Umber composing the ship
immediately ready for distribution.
The vessel will be fitted with schooner
rig and auxiliary engines.

The cobs, to begin with, may be
cooked in a closed tank with water at
' a temperature about 100 degrees above
boiling point. At tho end of an hour
they are taken out, in a thoroughly
softened and saturated condition, and
pressed, yielding a fluid that is evapo•
rated in an open kettle to a thick
syrup,
This syrup is au excellent adhesive
gum, suitable for use in the paper -box
industry, in the manufacture of fiber-
board, for bill -posting, for gumming
labels, etc. Its employment in place
of starch, dextrine and flour paste for
such purposes would snake no enorm-
onla saving of foodstuffs.
The solid material left from the
pressing is mainly cellulose. It may
be ground coarsely, mixed with mo-
lasses and dried for stock feed,
Or, by simple chemical treatment, it
can be made to yield 76 per cent, of
its weight in pure glucose, available
for many uses. If yeast be added and
the gulcose allowed to undergo fer-
mentation, it will produce alcohol.
Or, again, the cob cellulose may be
used in the manufacture of artificial
silk and artificial leather.
Or, as another alternative, it may be
employed as an absorbent of nitro.

Then one of the little fellows tried it.
Very wobbly. He tried again. So did
the others, By evening they could aid

Those youngsters made mistakes.
Of course they did, All youngsters
do. But the parents corrected 'them,
and they went 00 trying until they
succeeded on their own. Your young -

'show them how and let them try it.
They'll have to live their own lives
sooner or later, and you might as
well help them to learn how instead
of trying to do everything for them.
Poispnal responsibility is a great
