future, fuel its opportunity is ably set
forth by David Gellatly, who hos. been

of the moat ardent promoters of the

fully grown in British; Columbia, as
bearing trees in many diotrtets attest,
Filberts and hazels are one oe the
hardiest of nut bearing trees, ae It Can
be readily seethat their culture on a
eernmerciaa scale would be a.'vainabla
asset to British Columbia and a re•.
source well worth developing. The
clop is not a porlehab1e one, and the
problem of =rioting is therefore
more easily solved than is' the ease
with a, perishable crop,
It is painted gut that the Peclfio.
North-Weet isoneof the few localities
on the continent where filberts thrive
sufficiently well to make their growing
worth while from a commercial stand-
point. A profitable market is await-
,.ing an adequate production here. In
the last fiscal year the Province of
British Columbia alone imported 82,-
000 pounds of filberts for dlsttibution
in Western Canada. Large quantities
oleo reached the prairie markets from
the'east, the Dominion importing alto-
gether 1,514,008 pounds worth $34,371
from the United $ingdom, United
States, Italy, Spain •and other coup-
tries. In the opinion of the most re-
liably experts the quality of the home-
grown filbert compares mast favor-
ably with the imported product, and
there need not be the slightest appre-
hension on thls score
Trees Yield 20 to 60 Years,
Plantings of -filberts can be expected
to return profitable yields in from, six
to eight years of planting, though a
few nuts will generally be found in
the second and third years, gradually
increasing until they reach maturity,
though it Is not certain at just wbat
age they reach the maximum produc-
tion per acre. In Washington and Ore-
gon theyhave continuedto"increase
in' production for twenty years, *Millet
in Southern Ontarlo two plantings of
filberts of forty and sixty years of age
are still yielding good crops. The
seedlings are quite'resistent to cold,
withstanding temperatures of twenty-
five degrees below zero.
Mr. Gellatly and a few other en-
thuelasts in the province wlio have
been. experimenting for years., have
collected a vast amount of valuable
data on filbert growing in British
Columbia— location, soil requirements,
climatic conditions, time of planting,
system of planting, varieties, etc,—
too lengthy to print here but readily
available to those desirous of entering
upon this promising phase .of horticul-
ture In the Pacific coast province. In
addition, the results of practical work
Accomplished in this direction by the
Government experimental station on
Vancouver Island, of which too little
advantage has been taken, are there
for the "aid of the newcomer to the in-
dustry.
Sooner or later, greater advantage
will be taken of the great amount of
data available on . nut culture on the
"'Canadian Pacific coast and the grow-
ing of a variety of nuts will be enter-
ed upon on an extensive scale. There
Is little doubt but that ultimately Bri-
tish Columbia will be the nut -product
ing province of Canada, providing for
Canadian domestic need and possibly
engaging in an export trade.

Century Old Bamboo Organ
Still is in Use.
One of the most remarkable organs
in the world, says a writer in the Wide
World Magazine, le• the bamboo organ
In the Roman Catholic church of Los
Pines, a little town about live miles
from Manila, 1a, In the Phtlt
ppfne islands.
This organ was built about 1818 by
an old Spaush priest, who must have
been an,extremely patient, and devoted
worker, as ire used more than 900
lengths of bamboo in the organ, every
one of which was buried in the sand
for at least two years In order to
season it.
Although the bamboo is a very soft
wood, the old priest did his work so
Well that the organ is still in food
condition after a century of use, and
is used every week in his services by
the Belgian priest in charge, Father
Victor Deciereq.
- Every part of the Instrument is
made of bamboo and some very ingeni-
bus devices were included by its build-
er. While making theorgan, the
priest built a tiny model, a perfect
copy of the big instrument. This he
sent to the Queen of Spain, who, in
appreciation of the present, sent it
number of valuable gifts to the church.
Some of them stiff 'remote, and are al-
most as much treasured as tate organ
Itself,
Ireland, was one whol lived later, at
the time of the first Anglo-Norman in-
vasions• He was a king of Leinster, a
romantic figure, though a traitor to
his Celtic blood, who invited the aid of
Earl Strongbow and the English in at-
tacks on neighboring Irish kingdoms.
hr Scotland tale family name of Mac-
Dermid is borne chiefly by members
of one of the septs of the Clan Camp-
bell of Argyle, who derive It from a
chieftain of that name, celebrated as
"the slayer o the wild boar," who was
the progenitor of the house of, Argyle.
The given name, Intheeancient Gae-
lic tongue, meant "free -man."

Strangely enough, the connection
between the family name Sims and

which does mot .occur to most people.

Is Mars Inhabited?
Mars is rapidly moving away from
the earth and appears no larger than'
a star of medium size. Even the most
powerful telescopes fail as neat -1
tempts are made to study the libelee;
writes Dr, Thomas Moreux In "Le
Petit Journal" (Paris).
This, therefore, is the proper time
to make known the itnowledge acquired
during the recent observations made;
upon Mars. I hear my readers im-;
mediately -put the eternal question:
"Yes or no, is Mars inhabited?"
Mars is Surrounded by a layer of
air where the spectroscope discovered
the presence of oxygen and hydrogen.
Snow accumulates at the poles of Mars
just as on earth; We -can got an idea
even of the density of the atmosphere!
on Mars. The estnnatee which I took
up this year, unfortunately give rather;
Rev resifts. The air seems much thln-
ner on the surface of Mars than on our;
earth. In fact, it is as thin as it is
