There have always been treasure - seekers diligently endeavoring to dis- cover and bring to light the wealth hidden by their predecessors, Only a few y ears ago a princess of the royal 111,:5a1 s.1 Britain was seeking for gold hi the ddpths of the sea, She -it As the Princess Louise -had a right to the hulks of the Vessels of the. W- hited Spanish Armada, which went down off the Isle of Mull during their scared and hurricane-de/yen light round the British isles. She had little more luck than her ancestors, who had been working at that treasure- trove since the i 7111 century, for only a few old cannon and a small number of coins were brought to the Surface. In the days when Drake sailed the seas a Spanish galleon always meant plenty of gold to the British sailors and romance tind tradition have taken nothing from their luster, so that wreckers and treasure -hunters are practically always at work at some one or other of the ancient Spanish wrecks that lie all round the -coasts of Europe. It is not generally known that when Queen Victoria, tiled she left to the Princess Beatrice her rights to the gold in the ships of the Spanish Armada lying at the bottom of the English channel. llow rich a trove that is may be judged from the fact that longshoremen alt along the south coast make a practice .01 seeking for the coins that a sou'-westex drives on to the beach out of these same waters. -Tit-Bits, SAYS LEMON JUICE WILL REMOVE FRECKLES alrlsr-Make this cheap beauty lotion ,to clear and whiten your skin.

RUINING GERMANY. The state to which Germany has been reduced by the wag, the New York Times declares., is clear to the vision of that Hamburg business men who tells the Leipsic Neaeste Nach- richten that Germany will be isolated commercially after the war. It makes no difference, he says, whether Eng- land grants her "the freedam of the Sear Or not; ''iso voluntary agreement of England's, no paper understanding, can protect us." The German mei- chant marine has been destroyed; her commerce with the world is so ir- retrievably gone that we must liter- ally begin from the beginning again, and decades of strenuous work will not suffice to rebuild what has been destroyed in these three years." This calamity, he declares, has not been brought about so much by the forcible destruction • of the merchant marine as the alienation of hither- to neutral countries, which, of course, he ascribes to England's machinations, nisi to thereal cause, The heaviest blow of this kind was the inducement of Chine and most of the South American countries to take steps of this nature, The German Ousiness man, who, after peace is de- clared, goes out into the world, will tind ruins everywhere, and if he at- tempts to rebuild them he will be pre- vented by a wall of enmity. If this condition is kept up, he de- clares, "the German Empire would be reduced to a Second-class power," All this he makes an argumeht for coo-. Uniting the war mini England is thor- oughly beaten, so that she cannot ef- fectively itecp up her -minty after peace is declared.

Neither by look nor gesture 614 she manifest the least consciousness of, or concern for, the inanimate form visible io the adjoining room. With sudden directness, stud ignoring the implied threat in her last words, Mr. Whitney asked,- "Mrs. LaGrange, at what hour did you last see ilugh Mainwaring?" She was about to reply, when Scott entered from the tower -room, lie had beard her last remark, and his dark, piercing eyes were fixed upon her face in keen scrutiny. She was quick to sole tha e fact nd hesitated an in- stant, while a change, inexplicable to the attorney, passed over her face - surprise, a shade almost of fear, and haughty defiance were visible in quick succession; then, turning again towards Mr. Whitney, she answered, indiffer- ently,- "It was quite late last night; I do not recollect the hour." As the attorney was about to speak, Mr. Thornton appeared at the door of the library. "Beg pardon. Alr. Whitney. but I believe the coroner and others have arrived; as you know the gentlemen, will you kindle meet them?" "Certainly. Mr. Scott, you will please remain here," and the attorney hastened out into the corridor, Again Mrs. LaGrange and the secre- tary faced each 'onset in silence, each apparently -trying to read the other's thoughts and probe the depth of the other's knowledge; then, as the gentle- men were heard approsh aching, e with- drew, leaving him alone. CHAPTER Important Discoveries As the attorney, in response to the summons from Mr. Thornton, hastened from the corridor into the main hall, the gentlemen were slowly ascending the broad stairway conversing together in subdued tones. One, younger than the others and evidently more familiar with the surroundings at Fair Oaks, stepped quickly in advance (1 the rest and extended his hand to Mr. Whitney in silent greeting. This was Dr. Ho- bart, Hugh hiainwaring's physician and one of his most intimate friends, al- though a number of years his junior. Following him were Mr, Elliott and Mr. Chittenden, of .the firm of Main- waring St. Co., while bringing up the rear were the coroner and a gentleman. somewhat below medium size and of modest appearance, whom the attorney greeted very cordially and afterwards introduced to Mr. Thornton as Mr. Merrick. Proceeding at once to the library, they were joined a moment la- ter by Ralph Mainwaring and his son. The necessary introductions followed, and Mr. Mainwaring having given the butler instructions to admit no one in- _eigniasag3 5511, When you "feel mean" - dull, tired, nervous, bad dige,stion, iooappe- tite- Don't you find out, after- wards, that your bowels were not acti!;g freely and naturally 7 *tie, of course, to a liver gone on a strike.

They partially lifted the body and both examined the wound, the small man who haul accompanied the coroner looking on silently. It wits found that the bullet had entered just above the right eye and had passed thienigh the brain in a slightly downward direction, coming out near the base upon the same side. 'rhe most careful search failed to disclose the bullet, and at- tention was next directed to the revol- ver lying upon the floor near the right hand. It was a Smith & Wesson, thirty two calibre, with but one empty chamber, that from which the fatal bullett had probably been discharged. "Can any of you gentlemen tell me whether or not this belonged to the deceased?" inquired the- coroner, hold- ing up the revolver. There was an instant's pause, and Mr. Whitney replied "I .know, that Mr. Mainwaring owned a revolver, but hav- ing never seen it, am unable to answer your inquiry. Perhaps his secretary could give you,the desired information.' "I have offen seen a revolves. lying in Mr. Mainwaring's desk," said the secretary; "but I doubt whether 1 could identify it,. as I never observed it closely. I should judge, however, that this was the same size and snake." "Would it not be web to see if it is still there?" suggested the attorney. "I suppose you have a key to the desk.' • "I have, sir," Ile replied, at the same time producing it. Crossing the room, he unlocked and opened the desk, "II: is not here." There was a subdued nuirmur, and Mr Thornton was heard to exclaim, "Suicide! That has been my Impres- sion alt along." Ralph Mainwaring glanced inquiring- ly at the attorney. who shook Isis head emphatically, while the coroner once more inspected the wound with an air of perplexity, "Doctor," inquired Ralph Mainwar- ing, "in your opinion, how long has life been extinct?"

The influence of climate on fe.rtility is frequently overlooked, but it has a 010re or less direct bearing on the fer- tilizer ques,tion in Canada. It is real- ized by few that climatic conditions - rainfall, temperature, etc, -exert a profound influence on the nature and composition of soils, both In their 0110» and in the power to conserve their fertility. These influences may tend hs the accumulation or the dissi- pation of those elements or soil con- stituents which make for fertility. In this regard, save our costal lands with excessive rainfall, which may k•step the lighter soils poor, in available plant food, our country is singularly blessed. We cannot now elaborate this clues - Win, but one instance may be cited that may - serve as an illustratioe-one ivisi ch undoubtedly in flu en ces in a ben- eficial way the fertility of our soils. The rigorous winter that prevails over the greater part of Canada locks up for several months -practically from harvest to seeding time -the soil's fer- tility. The plant food that has been converted into avallahle forms during the preceding summer and autumn, and which is left over after the season's growth, is conservecl for the crop of the succeeding year. The frost holds tight ivithin its grasp plant .food of untold values -especially the more veil - stable nitrates, so necessary for stimu- lating the growth of the young crop. In regions enjoying a more open winter this soluble plant food would be lost by leaching. .With all their drawbacks, our severe winters, with their almost continuous low 'temperatures, must be regarded, 'in their role as conservers, of no small value, one which must profoundly affect in a beneficial way our dependence upon purchased efr- tilizers fol' satisfactory yields. -Dr, P.
