Captain Cook's Last Voyege
One hundred and fifty years ago
on the 25th June, 1776, Captain
James Cook, otie of the most illus-
trious of British Maritime explor-
ers, sailed away from England on
the last of his three famous voyag-
es.
He was the son of a Yorkshire
farm laborer, and at the age of 12
he was taken from school and ap-
prenticed to a village haberdasher,
but in short time he took to the
sea and for many years he served
on a lime of trading vessels, during
which time he studied incessantly to
remedy the scaritiness of his early
education.
At the age of 27 he entered the
Royal Navy as a common seaman,
but within four years he had risen
to the rank of navigating officer,
and it was in this capacity he was
attached to Gen. Wolfe's memor-
able expedition to Canada in 1759,
when he was responsible for the
charting of the river St. Lawrence
from Quebec to the sea. Tn 1703
he was appointed marine surveyor
of the coasts of Newfoundland and
Labrador, and four years later he
published a book on navigation
which attraetc;d vonsiderable atten-
tion. He took part in the observe-
ilon of the solar eclipse .of 1 767 and
then established his reputetion as a
inathematieian and aetroromer.
He started on the first of his three
famous voyages in 1 768. After
successfully observing the transit of
Venus from the Island of Tahiti,
whieh was the primary object of the
expeditiom he proceeded to carry
out his secondary commission whieh
was to ascertain whether the 'unex-
plored part. of the southern 110111'18-
phoro was only an immense mass of
'water or containel another contin-
, lent. Ile explored the Society Is-
lands and then eircumnavtgated and
charted thy coasts of New Zealand,
but he was unable to, explore the in-
terior of the country owing to he
hostility of the natives. Qn the 19
April, 1770, he sighted the eastern
I
coast of Australia, and on the 28th I
of the month anchored In Botany
I Bay, where he landed and hoisted
Ithe Union Jade, thus taking posses-
sion of the great sland continent
for the British Crown.
IIn 1 772 he commenced his etoond
voyage, and made a perilous passage
! through the peter seas in a vain
search for an Antarctic continent
He afterwards visited New Zealand
for, a second time, and then explor-
ed the Wands of the Pacific and
South Atlantic Oceans, where lie
made numerous valuable diecoveries.
His third and last voyage was
undertaken with the object of die -
covering the North-West Passage,
After visiting the Cape of Good
Hope, Tasmania *and New Zealand,
he re-diecovered the Hawaiian Is-
lands, and then proceeded north-
wards up the Pacific. He thorough-
ly explored the Canadian and Sib-
erian coasts, but finding Bering
Straits blocked with a wall of Ire,
.he returned south to Hawaii, where
he Met a tragic death.
On the morning of the filth Fele.
nary, 1779, he landed on the is-
land with a small party of marines
for the purpose of recovering one of
• his ship' e boats, which had been
stolen by the natives during the
night. Finding that the islanders
ware hostile and that his small force
was perilously outnumbered he or-
dered a retreat to the boats. He
was the It to retire, and as he was
nearing the short' he was felled to
the ground by a blow from behind.
He rose and nide a Vigorous fight
for his life, but was speedily over-
powered end Stain. His body was
partly bunted by the native, but
seine of his remaine were afterward
recovered and buried.
BARLEY AS A HAY CROP
(Experimental Faieri Note).
The use of barley as e hay crop
has not received as much attyntioa
up to the preeent as its importance
would seem to warrant. This has
been due partly becauee of the
eatiefactory results obtained from
oats groern for this purpose. The
only apparent advantage that barley
might have over oats lies in the fart
that barley may be sown later in
the season than it is nsually wise to
sow oats. In Eastern Canada, par-
ticularly, it often happens that new
meadows are seriously winter kill-
ed, with the result that farmer
confronted with the problem , of
growing . some other crop from
which satisfactory hay may be
made. With the rush of the spring's
work these damaged meadows can-
not usually lie ploughed tend prepar-
ed for emeding until most of the
other work is completed.' 13y this
time the season will be advanced to
a period when the sowing of oats
would be considered a d oubtf ul
practice. In such cases barley might
be sown to advantage, providing
suitable varieties be °sellable.
In the past :few Years a good deal
of work has been done by Dominion
Experimental Farms, as well as by ;
other Institutions, in seeking to de-
velop a variety . of barley which
might ,prove satisfactory for hay
making purposes. 11 has beetle os- ;
slimed that the peeserice of bearded

crop objectionable for feeding es !

fore been centered on the develop-
ment of varieties which are devoid ,
of awns, and, as a result, we now
have a number of awnless vereetuis

discovered dying in circumstances
which pointed to the impiety arreet
of her ansailant. CII1PS seemed plen-
tiful enough, but they came to noth-
ing, and which the tiniest grain of
luck would have made exceedlegly
valuable.
Muller, who murdered Mr. Briggs
and thereby became the first of the
small band of train murderers, was
traced and convicted chiefly because
In his hurry to get away from his
victim he unwittingly exchanged hats
with him, Similarly a Frenchman
went to the guillotine because he

.Give the average detective the
assistance of Inspector Luck and De-
tective -Sergeant Chance, and by
sheer hard work he may achieve a
seeming miracle, though Scotland
Yard does not believe in miracles and
would find a genius uncomfortable
a.nd difficult to discipline. A genius
might have solved some of the sixty -
odd murder mysteries of the resent
century which still await solution,
but at the same time it is likely that
he would also have brought about
the conviction of the innocent.
Sir Robert Anderson, another one-
time head of the C.I.D., explained the
difference' between the detective of
fiction and the detective of real life
anceintly when he pointed out that in
the case of the former the lock was
made to fit the key, whereas it was
the reverse with the latter. .

Elbninating Foreign Words,
The German Language Society has
get itself the task ot ell/nineties as
many foreign words arid idioms from
German as poesible. Inning the war
the Germans began to write the word
"telephone" with an "f" (telefon)
before that, the English word
"cakes," used for biscuits, was spell-
ed "keks."
One or the most extraordinary sug-
gestions made, by the Language So-
ciety is to replace the word electric-
ity by "berekraft," sa14 to Mean
"amber power," tut in comtneating
on the suggestion one German news-
paper points out that to -day eleetrie-

How to Handle Natural Swarms
A swarm of bees will not abscond
unleee it is accompanied by a queen
hut, should another swarm, having a
queen be in the air at the same time,
the first swarm may join it, leaving
its own queen behind. The first step
then, in the handling of swarms, is
to clip the wings 01 :131 mated queens
early in thy eeieson, preferably at the
beginnin30 of the flow from dande-
!hen and fruit bloom. Clipping the
queen's wings prevents her from
leaving with the swarm, and the
bees, finding the (omen is not with
them, will return to their hive..
When the colony swarme, and while
the swarm is still 3,3 the air, look for
the old queen at the entrance of the
11
hive. Having found her, place her
in a small box or cage and then more
the old hive from its stand and in
its place put a new hive fitted witle
drawn combs or foundation. On to
this new hive place the supers from
the old hive. As the swarm returns,
release the queen at the hive entrance
and the bees, having satisfied their
swarming instinct, will immediately
start work in the supers. The old
hive, or parent colony, can now be
moved to another location or left
standing alongside the new hive tor
a week and then moved. If the lat-
ter, then entrance of the old hive
should be facing at right angles to
that of the new hive for the firet
three days, and then gradually 1110Y -
ed around until it is facing in the
same direction, and on the seventh
or eighth day, moved away. With-
in seven days after swarming, all
the queen cells, except one, should
be destroyed in the parent colony to
prevent afterswarms. A swarm that
has clustered can be brushed or shak-
en down into a hive standing direct-
ly beneath it or into a box and tak-
en to the hive it is to occupy.
Abusing Mother's Day.
' • Wholesale florists are abusing the
. privileges of Mother'Day and are
taking a moan advantage of the
' sentiment attached to that day. Mo-
ther's Day was established a few
yeare ago, with flowers as the med-
ium in whieh the idea was carred
out. By doublingthe 'price on rosee
find carnationthe he wholesale flor-
ists will eimply kill Mother's Day.
We recommend the idea of that
church organization which has de-
cided to observe Mother's Day to-
ward the end of June. Let us pass
up the custom for Sunday, and ob-
eerve any Sunday in June when
garden flowers may . be secured in
abandance.—Peeth Expoeitor.
