BIG DREDGE FOR C.1N.1DA.,
Will Be Used to Make Deep Water
Harbor in Hudson Bay.
ExpeetedThat the 20,000 Idle Aores
of the Eststc Will Be Put
Under Cultilation.
It is announced that the Duke of
.Marlborough will put a thousand
acres of the Blenheim estates under
the plow, his abject being, he says,
to increase the food supply of Eng-
land. A thousand acres would net
• appreciably increase the food sup-
ply, and it would be very intensive
farming that would nuke .this acre-
• age yield food for five hundred fam-
ilies. It is expected, however, that
the rest of the 20,000 acres that
comprise the Mate will be culti-
vated later on, and that of historic
Blenheim all that will be left will
be the palace itself end the gardens.

They felt that they could not afford

The Only Dueal Mauer.
Blenheim Palace is one of the
great show places of England. It
is, in feet, the only ducal palace.
The other homes of dukes are halls
or abbeys or castles. but Marlbor-
oughs alone of non -Royal and non -
episcopal Englishmen reside in a
palace. The right to call his home
a palace was one of the distinc-
tions conferred upon John Church-
ill, the first Duke of Marlborough,
and, as everybody knows, it was
nailed after the Bavarian battle-
field where he crushed the French
and Germans and won the greatest
victory of his career. In recogni-
tion of his services Marlborough
was given Woodstock Manor, a for-
mer Royal residence, and about
52,500,000 in cash, so that he might
build for himself a suitable nest.
The building took so long that it
was not completed before his death,
and his remarkable widow, who
continued the work, lived to enjoy
the splendors of Blenheim Palace
for only a short time before she,
too, passed away.

mammoth hydraulic suction dredge
capable of excavating to a depth of

ronto for the Dominion Govern-
ment, It is designed to battle with
the ice floes of the Aretic region
and may be completely submerged
without sustaining damage.
Not only is it the biggest job of
the kind over attempted by a Cana-
dian shipbuilder, but the contract
calls for its completion in the com-
paratively short space of five
months, which means record time
for a domestic shipyard.
The dredge will be equip with
wireless apparatus, a complete ma-
obine shop, inoluding lathes, plan-
ers, drills, air compressors, a set
of pneumatic tools, smithy and a
crucible for the manufacture of
brass castings. Also the orew will
be able' to enjoy many of the luxur-
ies of as ocean liner, as the craft
will have electric light and steam
heating in every room a large re-
frigerator, pantry and other con-
-veniences.
The Government hopes to make
much headway in the development
of a harbor on Hudson Bay before
the winter of 1913, and it is expect-
ed the harbor will be ready by the
time the Hudson Bay Railway is
completed.
To reach its destination the
dredge will have to go down the St.
Lawrence, around by the coast of
Labrador, through the Hudson
Straits and across the bay. While
the boat is not self-propelled she is
equipped with two rudders and
steam steering gear handled from
the operating house on the upper
deck. This is in order to keep her
steady when towing. She will have
a three ton anchor and 600 feet of
11 -inch stud link chain, and will
also carry 8 sea anchor, which will
keep her head to the wind in owe
it is necessary for the tugs to cast
her adrift.
CURE FOR HEADA.CIIE.
Operation Removes the Cause of
Disturbance.
Those suffering from violent
headaches will be interested to hear
that, according to a communication
juet mads to the Paris Academy of
Medicine by Dr. Guisez, the well-
known Paris physician, a cure has
now been found for a large number
of cases of this disorder, hitherto
declared to be incurable.
Dr. Guisez finds that the frequent
and annoying variety of migraine,
which starts from above the eyes
and spreads, often accompanied by
nausea and vomiting, is caused by a
malformation of the upper pert of
the nose, known as the hypertrophy
of the middle horn; which, under
the least provocation, causes con-
gestion and a. disturbance of circu-
lation at the base of the brain.
The doctor says he has cured
more than seventy cases by a slight
operation, the details of which he
gave to the academy. He recom-
mends all persons suffering from
frequent headaches to have the in-
terior of the nose examined. This
communication is considered by the
Deademy to be of great importance.

nificent ideas of the Marlboroughs,
and it was practically obliterated
or incorporated into the more
splendid palace that Sir John Van-
brugh designed for the warrior,
How much money was sunk in the
palace nobody knows, but it ab-
sorbed a. considerable part of the
grant made by Parliament after
Blenheim, and also a quarter of a
million dollars which the Maribor-
oughs amassed by more dubious
means. For more than twenty
years Sarah Jennings, Duchess of
Marlborough, struggled with the
gigantic task that she and her hus-
band had begun. As a chronicler
says, "She fought with the archi-
tects, turned the workmen against
their employers, robbed the build-
ers, and conducted a general cam-
. paign which made her almost as
famous among the mortar beds and
scaffolding as her husband was on
the battlefield."

however, preferred the younger
grandson to the elder, who was rpt

began in her old age to divert every-
thing she could to the younger
Spencer. In the end, the elder boy,
who became Duke of Marlborough,
had little but the magnificent es-
tates and the title. The younger
Spencer had the money, So it was
that until the present Duke of Marl-

OUR LETTER FROM TORONTO
WHAT IS BEING GENERALLY DWS•
CUSSSED AT THE PRESENT TIME,
Physioians Havo Little Faith in Pr. Fried•
mane's RetnedY-No Hops for
Federal Square,
A change has come over the attitude of
the medical profession toward Dr. Fried-
mann, who has Just pail ti second visit to
Toronto, When he first camp to this coun-
try the attitude toward him was one of
expootanoy and hope, although it is not
going too far to say that from the first
there were many physicians who looked
upon hie reported cure for tuboreuionis
with scepticism, On the whole, however,
the attitude in Canada was much more
friendly than it was In the United States,
and there was general approval of tbo
(nurse or the authorities lu extending a
special invitation to the German phy04
Mau to come to Canada to give demonstra-
tions of .lila important remedy
From a situation where there were oulr
a row skeptics, the condition bas now
changed to one in which nearly the en-
tire medical profession expressos littlo
hope that any vont advance in the
treatment of tuberculosis has been made
by Dr. Friedmann. This altered attitude
is due to two facts.
In Patent: Medicine Class?
and the expedition is being under-
taken at the charge of the Canadian
Government.
The leader is the discoverer of the
so-called blond Eskimos and has had
experience of two Arctic voyages in
the particular neighborhood to
which he is about to proceed. Both
of these, as lie explained, met with
unfavorable weather. He has
spent three years among the Eski-
mos.
The region to be explored covers,
roughly, a million square miles.
There aro two theories with regard
to it. One is that it is open sea.
This is favored by Dr. Neilsen, and
it is understood that Amundsen
also inclines to this view and is
likely to trust to a transpolar cur-
rent to carry him across it in the
Fram,
The opposing theory is that there
is land in this particular region
now marked on the map as Beaufort
Sea, This is known as the Harris
theory, from its propounder. Mr.
Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the leader
of the expedition. inclines strongly
to the latter belief, for the reason
that Certain tidal manifestations on
the Alaskan coast are, he holds, in-
consistent, with any other. But
briefly these indications ere:

whish 1s In the form of a setora
private company in which it is 'under-
stood Dr. Friedmann hlmeelf retains a
large interest, The feeling among ,doe.
tors is that this is unprofessional conduct
and places the reported remedy in the
close of potent medicines and nestrume.
It pray be pointed out, 'however, that the
attitude of the medical profession to thie
class of medioinee is somewhat more
strict than is that of the general public.
There seems to be some basis for the erl-
tioiem that if Friedmann had made a
great discovery such as that made by
Pasteur or Lister,. the best thing he could
have done would have been to have given
it freely to the medical profession. If
hie remedy had been ofoaoione his repu-
tation

have
seen that honor and wealth would have
been freely awarded.
Second, the progress of the patients
who have been treated by Dr. Friedmann
hoe not been decisive. In some cases
there has been improvement, but. the seen -
ties maintain that this improvement
hleoodndeven there
nFriedmann treatment. In
other instances there has been no im-
provement whatever.
The Harris Theory.
The influence of the send -lunar
tides in the Arctic Ocean is felt in
two directions, one from the Pacific
through Behring Strait, and the
other from the Atlantic going in
between Greenland and the Norwe-
gian coast. The Pacific tide, owing
to the narrow and shallow Behring
Strait, stops at a comparatively
short distance from that channel,
where it is neutralized by the tide
front the Atlantic, which has then
swept across practically the whole
stretch of the Arctic Ocean.
If, it is argued, Beaufort Sea is,
in feet, an open space of water, the
Atlantic tide would reach Alaska
at right angles to the shore. But
this is not the case. The tide, on
the contrary, sweeps along the
Alaskan coast from the north-east,
and the deduction, therefore, is
that there is some obstacle, either
in the form of a large mass of land
or of an archipelego,'which. deflects
it from its course.
This question is one of the objects
which the Canadian Arctic expedi-
tion hopes to set at rest.

Or, Friedmann's Answer.
The answer of Dr. Friedmann to the
critics of his method of giving out the
remedy is that its character requires that
it ebould be in the hands only of prao-
titloners who have been schooled in its
use, and that it would be unsafe and un-
fair to hand it out freely to the public,
or even to the medical Droteselon at
large. For this reason it le probable
that Dr. Friedmann, through the com-
pany which now holds the right to his
serum, will establish tuberculosis
sanitoria, which may be known as
Friedmann institutes. wherepatients will
bo admitted as they would be to hospi-
tals
will
ba administered. The discovererm says
that patients who are unable to pay for
the treatment will be treated free. Or it
may be that all that will be done for a
Year or two will bo to establish a Fried-
mann school, possibly in New York, whore
physicians who wish to familiarize them-
selves with the treatment may sconce in-
struction for the purpose of afterwards
applying it to their patients. This would
be a -profitable operation for the Fried-
mann Company. It might secure foes for
the instruction and it would
saleooft the
also makake tt profit on the
remedy to the praetiaing physicians who
wich to use it.
This being tho situation it is perhaps
too earltoon
the merite ofpthe ass remedy, finalj Evens those
physician's who express the belief that
the remedy fa not a remedy say that so
far as they know it to not injurious.
They only fear that the rousing of taloa
hopes among a class of eufterers whose
condition is, as a rule, hopeless, may lead
to much additional suffering.
Three years, the period during
which the expedition will pursue its
researches, has been taken as time
adequate to Make the first records
of so large an aceta. Much, how-
ever, depends on the weather, es-
pecially on the prevailing winds.
"If there is a north-east wind,,"
said Mr, Stefansson, `cit will blow
the ice down along the Alaskan
coast, and we shall have to remain
cloth in shore until the 'freeze in,'
when we shall proceed to explore
on the ice. But if the prevalent
wind blows from the south-west it
will clear out the ice, and we shall
then use the boat. In the-Vest/se we
shall divide into two poetise. Half
the soientific staff will go on a small
schooner, the Teddy Bear, and sail
eastward through Dolphin and
Union Strait, The remainder will

SPAIN IS PROSPERING.
The .Last Ten Years Shows an
Amazing Advaueemont.
The last ten years in Spain show
an amazing degree of commercial
and industrial; progress. The record
of this accomplishment In a country
that a decade ago, was looked upon
as a dying nation, reads like the
comparative statistics of a boom
town in the West, and there is
awakening in Spain to -day a spirit
of hope and enterprise that will,
it is confidently believed., be the
solution of all the country's ma-
terial and political problems.
The doubled imports of cotton,
the tripled output of iron ores, the
prosperity of railways, and the rise
in Spanish government 4s from 65
to 83, are indications of this pro-
gress, but it is from agriculture that
the largest additions to Spanish
wealth are made.
Ten years ago 12,500,000 aeras
were planted in cereals; to -day the
total is 17.500,000 acres. The
wheat yield in 1904 was 87,600,000
bushels, last season it was close to
160,000,000 bushels. The yearly
consumption of wheat, including
that used for sewing, is about 175,-
000,000 bushels. The larger acre-
age this season will further reduce
the wheat and flour imparts. The
expectations are that another five
WHAT HAPPENS.
British Scientist Declares Laughter
Is Violent -Effort.
A British scientist who has been
making a study of laughter has pre-
pared a lisle• of things that happen
when .e person gives way to audible
laughter. On. each side of the
throat, he explains, 'there is an ar-
tery called the carotid. At the le-
vel of the larynx this divides; one
branch, whioh carries blood to the
bruin, is oeU•ed the "internal" ; the
ether, which performs the duty of
distribu'lin,g blood to the twee, is
called the "externa]." These two
branches are joined by the opthal-
mic artery at about the level of the
eyes, forming betwcou the eyes a
sett of casual.
a
Al] this in tarn brings the times
of laughter, and makes literal the
oxolamatiosn, "lie laughed until he
cried."
In reality laughter is not an easy
thing. It results in a great, al-
though involuntary efforts -an effort
as great as though one were lifting
a greatweight-and: in bothcalses
the muscles of both' the throat and
stomach contract.. ,
Now, when laughter is very
hearty; when it is actually exces-
sive, the whole body is convulsed
send this means that, every etude is,
contracted, I:Iero tis where, people
"double lip" with lengthier. 'Whe-
ther it: is laughter ar crying, the
same thing happens, if it is en ox.,
aessive emotion—that is, the booed

glands overflow.
