In the meantime the carillon of, 53 bells, which will ging iia music down the Ottawa valley and across to the Gati- neau hills, is in proem ot construc- tion by the British company, to which the contract was awarded. The heaviest of the bells will weigh tea tone, and will have a diameter of eight feet and two inches, The light• est will weigh o111y fifteen poundsand will measure only ,seven` incites in diameter.

These two sister •carillons. -will Were - fore be the largest In the world, the next in size being that in the tower of St. Rombaulds cathedral, at Splines, which has 46 bells, the heaviest weigh- ingabout six tons. The bells will be arranged tier upon tier in the belfry insuch a way that as the passenger elevator travels up- wards to the observation gallery every bell will be visible, while the works of the great clock will be displayed in a large glass case in the centre of the clock chamber, . - The carillon will be plated by a carillonneur or bell organist by means' Of a hand elavier, the arrangement of which is Identical with' the console of an organ, except that light wooden levers take the place of the ivory keys, These levers are attached by means of'wlreia and cranks to the clappers, which strike the bell on the inside sur- face at'a point near its greatest diam- eter; the travel of the clapper is about one incb, which is suticlent to bring dht the full volume of sound required for carillon playing, while still allow- ing the delicate touch necessary to en- able a single operator to manipulate ama • ony bells.. May Use the Feet. Pedals are attached to the levers connected to the larger bells, so that these can be played ,by foot or by hand; this enables the player to strike them more forcibly than would be pos. bible with the hand revers, and it also allows hint to. execute the more intri• cate.passages of music by leaving his hands free for the rapid manipulation of the levers connected to the smaller hells. The arrangement of the bells in their steel framework will be such that at any later bine a fully automatic machine for tune playing, started at predetermined times during the day, can be added. y • A feature of this carillon is that the. hells will not only be is absolute tune with each other,, but that the harmon- ies of each belt will be tuned to its strike note, resulting in pure and mel -- odious bell tones and malting possible. , the true harmony and brilliant ca- dences of this highest type of bell music. In view of the memorial aspect of this carillon, Itis.satisfactory tc know that this perfecttuning cannot be af- rected by„pse, atm sphere or age, The metal of labiathh bells are cassis an alloy of the purest copper and tin ob- tainable, blended in the most exact proportions, and although centuries may pass, the tones wfll'reatain identi- cal with those heard on the day of dedication. The possibilities of such au instill - moat are known to few, and the first recital on the memorial carillon will corse as a revelation to the thousands who hear lt, when its mucic, flung from the magnificent Oompanifo that is now nearing completion, is first heard over city;` river and- valley.

Established for over thirty years, MOTHERS -PRAISE BABY'S OWN TABLETS •Mrs. L. M. Brown, Walton, N.S., says:—"I cannot recommend Baby's Own Tablets too highly. I have found them invaluable for the ailments of little ones." Mrs, Brown's testimony is the same as that of thousands of other mothers who have used the Tab- lets. • To•use them once is a sure guar- anteethat they will always be kept in the home as long as there are batii s g or young children to be cared for. The Tablets are a laxative—mild but thorough in action—which never fail to regulate the stomach and bowels; relieve constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make the ' dreaded teething period easy. In fact they banish all themiuor ills from which llttle ones suffer. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. 'Williams' Medicine Co.; Brock- ville, Ont. Advocates Music in Factories.. Dr. Robertson Darwen,medical offi- cer to the Blackburn Mill Managers' Association, in England, is- one of the latest advocates of music in industrial establishments. Speaking the other day to the association, he said: "Ten minutes' music an hour has a definite psychological effect upon the worker, bracing him to his task and increasing Itis output in -quantity and quality. "I am convinced," he declared) "that the introduction of music into the mills would prove a paying proposition."

BUY A GOOD ULL When the Prince of Wales visited Capetown, he noticed the large num- ber. of um-ber.of Dutch and French names over the shop-fronts—Dutch and French be- cause the Dutch founded a settlement there many, many years ago, while Huguenots settled there a little later. Prom these two stocks came the Boers. s. Great Britain slid not add Capetown to her possessions until 1814, more than a.hundred years after the arrival or the Hugueuots, Another thing the Prince noted was the races of people—black, white, brown and yellow. Above all, Lie Prince was delighted with the maze of color and costume, We bright sunshine and clear air, and the general feeling ofhappy :content- ment which is everywhere to be found. The vegetation is one of the chief charms of this part • of South Africa. At the Cape, in an area smaller than the Isle of Wight, there are two hun- dred more species of flowering slants r p gl, than in the whole of England. Another great attraction of the dis- trict are the many seaside resorts, with miles of wonderful golden sands and safe bathing beaches. A fovorite excursion is the ascent of/rablo Mountain. Itis so called be- cause its broad top is almost as flat as a table. The ascent is steep, bat the view from the top is magnificent. When clear, one looks down on the town with its white roofs and walls, and its beautiful suburbs spreading away on either side, and climbing up 'the lower slopes of the great mountain. A great. historian once. wrote: "In all the world, there is, perhaps, no city so beautifully situated as Capetown." Preparing for the Worst.

Records of the production of precious metals in Canada prior to 1887 are scattered and irregular; since that date complete data are available. These records show that between 1858 and 1928 Canada produced 24,774,084 ounces of gold, valued at $612,137;838. During the Mat few years, owing to the discovery of the new gold fields in northern Ontario, there has been a steady increase in Canadian gold pro- duction; more than enough to offset the decline of the Yukon placers. Last year (1924), according to preliminary figures, the total production wase the greateat yet recorded, being 1,516,360 ounces, valude'at $31,345,941. More than •80 per cent, of this production was obtained from the mines of Por- cupine and Kirkland Lake in northern Ontario and 15.0 laser cent. from Bri- tish Columbia, • The worlds total production of gold has been'declfning since 1912, but Can- ada's rate of production is still on the increase, In 1922 she stood third among the countries of the world as a producer of this metal. At present production is at the rate of about a100,- 000 per day, and this rate will prob- ably continue to rise for some years. The discoveries made in the Porcu- pine district during the period 1905- 1920 have disclosed We most import- ant new gold producing area found anywbere in the world during the last cleaned century.
