Farmers and fruit growers in the

branching out in the line of dairying,
the Provincial Government having ex-
tended certain assistance to dairymen
there in the contmeneement of opera-

a substantial increase in the number
of cream shippers in the area, and
there is a eousitlerable increment in
the export of butter from creameries.
Organization has likewise taken place

To speak of color in water seems •
absurd. A tumbler of water from the
tap shows no color at all, Flow many
instances are there, though, where
water seems to he colored, either by
reflection of light :sr by material or or-
ganisms contained in it.
As a rule, tropical seas appear quite
blue, and as one treve';s farther from
the lquator the blue gradually changes
to green,
The color varies according in the

In the case 0f the Mediterranean the

Within the next few months all the

in addition to the usual men operat-

ships at sea of weather conditions,
heavy seas and impending danger, so,
with the lights as well to warn mari-
ners of dangerous coasts and shoals,
the capabilities of the lighthouses will
be increased greatly.
A few lightships have been experi-

Motto Being Sought for
the City of Loddon
English or Latin? Lat or English?
And, if either, what? Thtse are the
questions that are being aeketl of
members of the L. C. C. th ,we days,
due to the fact that London 1s with-
out a motto, says a London despatch.
The word London itself Is Celtic,
but,as the city was originally founded
by the Romans, it is thought that a
Latin inscription for its teat of arms
would be more appropriate. Besides,
Latin is the hereldic']anguage and the
Majority of mottoes are in that lan-
guage. A number of people. how-
ever, aro agitating for an English
motto, and numerous suggestions hove
been sent to the Council, "Heart of
Empire," "Mother of Empire," "Moth-
er of Nations," are some of the more
high flown of these, while ethers have
ranged from "Forward" to "F•oever
of Cities All,' the 'lest being a sobri-
quet bestowed on London by one of
its poet citizens away beet in the
fifteen hundreds.
Among the Latin suggestions
brought forward, quite the best so far
is "Urbs Urbhum," the City of Cities.
Another is "Britannorum Foeue." the
Briton's Heart,. which latter Is rot
likely to be adopted. It is probable
that by the end of the year London
will have her motto, but whethtr she
will live up to •it is another matter.
