(From the Toronto Globe.) . ) The inquiry ;to be instituted by the Government should be of the most searching:; nature, The possibility that the fire was the work of some- one within` the public service must not be dismissed as unworthy of con- sideration. 'There ate still men of German bitth in places of responsib- ility at Ottawa, and the Int that they seem to be good Canadians ought not to be regarded as .con elusive evidence that they are. , The Globe has no desire to fan the flatus es of race hatred, but it. does Leel called upon to insist "'s that no one of l , t do ) stiffs( loyalty steal('-Ia.nxain in ' a Position where the temptation of Bernstorft's gold may prove, too great for hint. The tragedy at Ot- tawa brings ,home to the Canadian people, in a ways perhaps nothing else could, the solemn truth that the Dominion is at war and tihat only unceasing vigilance will enable, us to guard against the 'cowardly enemy within the gates whose weap- ons are the torch and the bomb.

Famous French PrisonDuringthe ThoFam srFa Reign of Louis X111. It was during the reign of Louls XIII, that the Bastille became recog-' nized as a prison, especially for nota- - ble persons suspected or treachery against the French government, Riche- lieu used it for the secure lodgment of troublesome opponents, and during his time the celebrated fortress became thelgaul•lous prison of a powerful arts- toeracy. Apart from the necessary restrictions, a stay in the famous prison of Paris was little more than an agreeable di- version. It seemed indeed as though the king was determined to show his kindness. He expressed great anxiety for the comfort of his prisoners. Money could buy 1n 'the Bastille all the luxury that could be obtained out- side, and should a poor man stray within the impenetrable walls the kings was so eager to prove his hospitality that he at once allowed him a reason- able pension. The rooms in which the prisoners were confined were lofty and 'well aired; the furniture was arranged according to the taste of the occupant. Mme. de Steel, for instance, hung her walla with rich tapestries, and many a distinguished culprit carried with him to the Faubourg St. Antoine his family portraits or a valuable library. Nor is it In the least significant that the prison 'barber visited his patrons every morning with a silver basin, per- fumed soap and embroidered towels. The best viands, well cooked, were furnished' to the better class of prison- ers, and at the close of the meals they, exchanged visits, played' cards - and made the wails of the gloomy looking prison ring with their merriment. Ons of Falb's Predictions. In 1874 Professor Rudolph Falb pre- - dieted an eruption of Etna on Aug. 27. ire offered a Vienna editor to write an account of it if the editor would send him to Sicily. Falb was commissioned. When be' reached Etna there was nob the slightest sign of disturbance. As the 27th approached Falb was tortured with anxiety and spent sleepless nights Watching the volcano. Nothing hap- pened en the 27th and 28th. The fol; lowing morning the servant rushed lntq the professor's room shouting, "An eruption, a terrible' eruption! Falb saw the spectacle and sent off his dis- patch. "Ono" as a:Pronoun.

The ; difference would no doubt have 'been very am011 reduced had the feeding been the same for all the animals: Those that yield- ed the higher profit were much bettor fed 4ban the others. The average cost of their feed for tl,e milking period being $13.96 per Bead, while the foots received by the less profitable animals was valued at 832.33 per head. Cal- culating from the standpoint of cost of the milk the eight cows with the low yields made only 32 cents profit on a hundred pounds of mills while the higher yielding cows made 54 cents profit from an equal amount of milk. This information and a great deal more of equal value is contained in the recently issued annual 'report of the Dairy and Cold Storage Com- missioner of the Department of Ag- riculture at Ottawa. This report, its addition to the Diary and Cold Stor- age Commissioner's general report, contains twelve appendices which deal with the world of the Assistant Dairy Commissioner, the extension of mar- kets, dairy and cold storage divis- ions, etc. An appendix •of unusual in- terest gives statistics of the export and import trade in dairy produce, which show that the exports of bat- ter increased from 1,051,585 lbs. in 1890 to 2,721,913 in 1015, while dur- ing the same period the exports of cheese increased from 94,264,187 lbs. to 137,601,661 lbs. .

When soldiers have nothing to smke they are being deprived of a comfort that 11 absolutely vital and it is no exaggeration to say that any, short- age of cigarettes and tobacco inflicts positivepain on them. Wltetl a man has to sit all day in a trends with nothing to relieve the monotony but an occasional 'Jack:Jotnson' or the Ping -Ping of the sniper's bullet, it is some relief to light up a pipe or smoke a cigarette. Monotony wears out one's nerves, and against trench monotony the only sedative is tobac- co—pot inaptly named the soldier's boob friend, Knowing the truth of this ; we ap- peal to our readers to help the Over - Seas Chub :in its praiseworthy effort to raise enough mone)0 to give every Canadian soldier at the front enough to smoke. .

Famous French PrisonDuringthe ThoFam srFa Reign of Louis X111. It was during the reign of Louls XIII, that the Bastille became recog-' nized as a prison, especially for nota- - ble persons suspected or treachery against the French government, Riche- lieu used it for the secure lodgment of troublesome opponents, and during his time the celebrated fortress became thelgaul•lous prison of a powerful arts- toeracy. Apart from the necessary restrictions, a stay in the famous prison of Paris was little more than an agreeable di- version. It seemed indeed as though the king was determined to show his kindness. He expressed great anxiety for the comfort of his prisoners. Money could buy 1n 'the Bastille all the luxury that could be obtained out- side, and should a poor man stray within the impenetrable walls the kings was so eager to prove his hospitality that he at once allowed him a reason- able pension. The rooms in which the prisoners were confined were lofty and 'well aired; the furniture was arranged according to the taste of the occupant. Mme. de Steel, for instance, hung her walla with rich tapestries, and many a distinguished culprit carried with him to the Faubourg St. Antoine his family portraits or a valuable library. Nor is it In the least significant that the prison 'barber visited his patrons every morning with a silver basin, per- fumed soap and embroidered towels. The best viands, well cooked, were furnished' to the better class of prison- ers, and at the close of the meals they, exchanged visits, played' cards - and made the wails of the gloomy looking prison ring with their merriment. Ons of Falb's Predictions. In 1874 Professor Rudolph Falb pre- - dieted an eruption of Etna on Aug. 27. ire offered a Vienna editor to write an account of it if the editor would send him to Sicily. Falb was commissioned. When be' reached Etna there was nob the slightest sign of disturbance. As the 27th approached Falb was tortured with anxiety and spent sleepless nights Watching the volcano. Nothing hap- pened en the 27th and 28th. The fol; lowing morning the servant rushed lntq the professor's room shouting, "An eruption, a terrible' eruption! Falb saw the spectacle and sent off his dis- patch. "Ono" as a:Pronoun. I bave,never been smitten with the use of the word "one" as a pronoun. 1t. takes a word juggler to attempt it and 'get away .with it.

The ; difference would no doubt have 'been very am011 reduced had the feeding been the same for all the animals: Those that yield- ed the higher profit were much bettor fed 4ban the others. The average cost of their feed for tl,e milking period being $13.96 per Bead, while the foots received by the less profitable animals was valued at 832.33 per head. Cal- culating from the standpoint of cost of the milk the eight cows with the low yields made only 32 cents profit on a hundred pounds of mills while the higher yielding cows made 54 cents profit from an equal amount of milk. This information and a great deal more of equal value is contained in the recently issued annual 'report of the Dairy and Cold Storage Com- missioner of the Department of Ag- riculture at Ottawa. This report, its addition to the Diary and Cold Stor- age Commissioner's general report, contains twelve appendices which deal with the world of the Assistant Dairy Commissioner, the extension of mar- kets, dairy and cold storage divis- ions, etc. An appendix •of unusual in- terest gives statistics of the export and import trade in dairy produce, which show that the exports of bat- ter increased from 1,051,585 lbs. in 1890 to 2,721,913 in 1015, while dur- ing the same period the exports of cheese increased from 94,264,187 lbs. to 137,601,661 lbs. .

When soldiers have nothing to smke they are being deprived of a comfort that 11 absolutely vital and it is no exaggeration to say that any, short- age of cigarettes and tobacco inflicts positivepain on them. Wltetl a man has to sit all day in a trends with nothing to relieve the monotony but an occasional 'Jack:Jotnson' or the Ping -Ping of the sniper's bullet, it is some relief to light up a pipe or smoke a cigarette. Monotony wears out one's nerves, and against trench monotony the only sedative is tobac- co—pot inaptly named the soldier's boob friend, Knowing the truth of this ; we ap- peal to our readers to help the Over - Seas Chub :in its praiseworthy effort to raise enough mone)0 to give every Canadian soldier at the front enough to smoke. .
