London's Zoological oit,rtiens opens
An Insect House,
There has just been opened at the
Zoological Gardens in London an
insect house of original design, in
which living butterflies, moths and
other insecets are •exhibited in
something like natural conditions.
The spectators, says The New York
Evening Peat, pass in through a
central corridor, between glees en-
closures on either side, The light-
ing system is similar to that em-
ployed in aquaria.
One of the largest oornpartments
is occupied by a number of pea-
cock butterflies. The enclo•snre is
floored with turf and decorated by
flowers in pots. These aro sprayed

This spirit was infectious and

on the desirability or undesirability ciously received by Queen Victoria
of

"that if he can do that I can pro-
mise him my own personal benedic-

Thome de Gamond 'worked away
at his scheme and in 1867 exhibited
a model of it in the Universal ex-
hibition. He joined forces with an
English inventor, Will Lowe, who
had also been employing his in-
genuity on the tunnel question, and
the plans of the pair were adopted
by an. international committee. But
the Franco-German war put an end
fora time to any further progress
of the work.
The various channel tunnel move-
ments have been productive of no
small amount of panic literature,
deliberate and unconscious humor,
epigram and doggerel. The idea of
the new cross-channel conlmiunica-
tion was evidently in the air in 1826,
for Theodore Hook published in one
of his Bubbles in the John Bull
newspaper of that year a shit which
ran as follows:
"A tunnel underneath the see, from
Calais straight to Dover, sir,
That qualmish folks may cross

With •sluices made to drown the

ing subject is entering the region
of practical polities.
Punch recently had a cartoon in
which a steward in one of the
Dover -Calais steamers is reeresent-
ed in a state of anxiety lest the
channel tunnel scheme should ma-
terialize. "If it does," he says,
"my job's gene." And Mr. Bunch
replies that that is the only sound
objection to the tunnel he has heard
as yet. This may or may not be
the plain man's view to -day. He
may hold that the extremely plea.-
ea,nt relations with France go far
to outweigh the well-known mili-
tary objections to the proposal.
But in times past the opposition
was so sure of itself that it could
even branch cut into humorous dia-
tribes of those who desired to foster
commerce, facilitate travel and in-
cidentally banish seasickness by
means of a tunnel underneath the
straits.
Many of the Plans.
It must be confessed, however,
that many of the plans themselves
were much more grotesque than the
alarmist opinion they called forth.
In the early history of the idea
financial anti 'engineering consider-
ations weighed most heavily in its
disfavor. Colonel Mathieu, a
French mining engineer, was the
drat to be credited with a plan for
building a tunnel under the chap-
nel—a plan which received the en-
thusiastic support of Charles James
Fox, and was submitted to the Em-
peror Napoleon.
This was in 1803. But even as fax

WARDING OFF THE EVIL EYE.
Belief Still
Palestine.
It sounds hardly possible, but there
are actually people who believe that
some persons have the power to in-
jure other persons simply by looking
at them. One of the places where
this wrong belief is still found is in
Palestine, where our Lord lived. This
strange belief is known as the "evil
eye," and the safest and best cure
for the "evil eye," say the people of
Palestine, 1s to take a bit of clothing
whom the evil power has passed, and
to burn it below the victim. The
fumes will immediately remove the
ill -effect. Another method adopted is
to take a piece of tamarisk wood, a
pinch of salt or alum, and place it
in a pan on the fire. The person
afflicted must walk around It seven
times, and as soon as a crackling
sound is heard the spell 1s broken.
To praise anything, particularly a
child or a horse, will cause at once
some misfortune, and even if Sickness
should follow some time after, it will
be attributed to the words of favor.
That the "evil eye may be visited
upon their children is the especial
fear of Palestine mothers of to -day,
and many "charms" are hung upon
the little melte ward it off. The
more of these amulets a child has,

TUITION BANK HAS EINE YEAR.
Quick Assets Over Thirty -foul' Per
Cent. of Liabbilities.
The Forty -Ninth Annual Report of
the Union Bank of Canada, approved
by the Shareholders at their annual
meeting held in Winnipeg on Decem-
ber 17th, is the best In the history of
the Bank. The net profits for the
year after making the usual deduc-
tions for expenses of management
and making full provisions for bad
and doubtful debts amounted to $760,-
096 or $44,000 more than was earned
In 1912. Other evidences of progress
are shown by a further examination
Of the Bank's statement The note
circulation througb.out the year in-
creased from $4,700,000 to 18,200,000.
Deposits gained from $55,600,000 to
$64,500,000. The rest account was in-
creased by $100,000, making it $8,-
400,000. Current loans increased from
$45,000,000 to $46,700,000, while total
assets show the large gain of $11,-
300,000,
11;300,000, now standing at 560,766,592.
A striking feature of the Bank
statement is found in a further exam-
ination of the assets. The Bank pee-
seeses an unusually large amount of
gold, Dominion notea and other quick-
ly available assets—these amounting
to' $27,655,000 as compared with $22,-
790,000 for the previous year. This
policy of maintaining a large propor-
tion of the assets in a form easily
converted into cash is a character-
istic of this Bank, and the present
holdings of nearly twenty-seven and
three-quarter millions bear a`high pro-
portion to the Bank's total liability
to the public. The fact that deposits
increased during the year also calls
for comment, as during the past year
there were unusual demands for funds
and depositors were more inclined to
withdraw funds then to increase their
holdings. The fact that deposits in-
creased is an indication of the in-
creased confidence on the part of the
public in the management of the
Bank. The Bank on its side has been
doing its full share in catering to the
business needs of the communities in
which its branches are located, Dur-
ingthe past year the current loans.
show an increase of $1,780,000 while
loans and discounts outside of Canada
amount to $1,640,000 or more than
double that shown for the previous
Year. The Bank has now on deposit
in the central gold reserve $1,300,000
while its total assets have attained
the very large sum of $80,766,000, an
increase of over $11,000,000 during the
year. The address of Mr. Solan Galt,'
President of the Bank, was an able
summary of the conditions prevail-
ing in Canada during the year. In
the course of his 6.ddresa he touched
on the trend of trade during the year,
the crops, the increased importance of
mixed farnitng and briefly reviewed
the various great basic' industries in
the several Provinces, General Mahar
ger Balfour, in his' address, pointed out
that the Bank has now it total of 313
