MOVEMENT OF GRAIN.
The Figures Surpass, in Interest the
Latest Fiction.
Western Canada's crop year com-
mences on September 1st and ends
on August 31st the year following. So
it happens that during September,
those chiefly interested in the market-
ing of the crop, collect and compile
statistics to show how the details
compare with those of the preceding
twelve months.
Grain figures are of interest wider
than most. To the multitude con-
cerned in the movement of grain
from the farmers' siding to the con-
sumer, they surpass in interest the
latest fiction. To the business sec-
tion, they speak of obligations met
and credits removed; to manufactur-
ers, as foreshadowing a revival of or-
dering and a busy season for the in-
dustries; to the farmer and his peo-
ple, they take tangible form in new
articles of comfort about the home;
but -to the men on the railways, they
provoke reminiscences of days and
nights on the road, and continuous
striving to keep the ordinary traffic
of the country in motion while the
wheat was moving to the sea.

August 31st the Canadian Northern

the 'hatch is screwed tight, the main

is pushed pp to its full height, and
thus she prepares to diVe to the wet

The roar of her oil engines has
suddenly ceased. The silence seems
strange after their thunderous note,
and to- take their place comes the
gentle hum of the electric motors
which drive her below the waves.
The commander is . in the conning
tower, his eyes glued to the vibrat-
ing lens of the periscope. The stolid
coxswain has the wheel controlling
the horizontal rudders that work the
boat in her trips below. The second
coxswain has the wheel that steers
her to port and starboard. The
leading torpedo -man at the switch-
board controls all the electrical de-
vices that man has chained to his
will to work this strange ship. The

USE POISON GAS.
Method Employed by Bombardier
Beetle to Defend Himself.
A little British beetle has been em-
ploying poison gas to defend itself for
untold ages. One of the strongholds
of the Bombardier beetle (Brachinus
crepitans) is along the shores of the
Thames in the Gravesend district. The
Bombardier beetle is very liable to be
attacked by some of the fierce ground
beetles, or Carabidae, as they are pro-
perly called. These ground beetles
are extremely active, hunting about
all over the,place and at once giving
chase when they see the timid .Braeh-
inus appear from beneath a stone.
Offhand one would think that there
could only be one ending to the chase,
but, as aeon as the pursuer draws
close, a very remarkable thing hap-
pens.
First of all the Bombardier beetle
ejects a peculiar liquid which, when
it comes into contact with the at-
mosphere "bursts into a sort of a
pale blue-green flame, followed by a
kind of smoke." Instantly the pur-
suing beetle seems to be overwhelm-
ed and quite stupefied by the sud-
denness of the attack. The smoke .
appears to have a blinding and suffo-,
eating tendency, and the effect lasts '
for a minute or so. During this time
the Bombardier beetle makes good
it escape.

REAL HOMES FOR CHILDREN.
Should Not Be Kept Too Long in the
Shelter or Orphanage.
In his annual report on the Chil-
dren's Aid Societies of the Province,
Mr. J. J. Kelso says:
It frequently occurs that Societies
have to be reminded that they are
making improper use of their chil-
dren's shelter by permitting the in-
mates to remain therein too long.
The thought of the shelter as a hu-
man "clearing house" should never be
permitted to be pushed in the back-
ground by other considerations. One
of the tendencies seems to be to aim
at having a large number of inmates.
This is a grave mistake. Get the
children out into homes where good
mothering is assured, and you will
not only obtain satisfactory results
the more quickly but at the same time
multiply your society's capabilities for
usefulness and efficiency. The natur-
al shelter of a child is motherly arms
—not bricks and mortar. •
To carry the foregoing into effect
requires homes in which to place the
children, and as 'time passes the im-
pression' becomes a conviction that
more thought and energy should be
directed to the finding .of high .class
homes, that is where there is a wealth
of affection. Too much reliance, is
being placed upon the casual applica-
tion fortuitously reaching the Society
at the time it is needed. There are
many good people who have desirable
homes, who are considering the Pro-
position of taking to their hearth and
heart some needy child—but they get
no further. An active campaign judi-
ciously managed would result in many
of these "prospects" becoming "act-
ualities," to the blessing cif the child
and home and the honor of the So-
cietja The best homes have to be
sought for and it is a quest worth
while.

GOLD CORD A WAR PERIL.
Now Very Difficult to Distinguish An
Officer.
One of the earliest lessons of the
war was that of the danger to of-
ficers in allowing them to wear
badges of their rank, gold cord
around their coat sleeves, gold de-
corations on their headgear, etc.,
which marked them out to the en-
emy's picked shots and resulted in un-
necessary and avoidable losses among
them, says a Paris despatch. This les-
son was learned, and now it has be-
come so difficult at the front to iden-
tify an officer that a failure to salute
is overlooked on this ground.
There seems, however, a chance
that this danger is being revived by
the regulations making the wearing
of chevrons obligatory. These chev-
rons are in the form of an inverted
V and are worn on the right arm be-
tween the elbow and shoulder to de-
note that the wearer has been wound-
ed, and on the left to show the length
of time he has been at the Irene, one
showing one year of active service,
two for eighteen months. They are
worn in all sorts of material and col-
ors, officers wearing them in gold and
silver, When worn on leave or dur-
ing Oonvalerreence their visibility is a
0,004 poitt, but at the front they draw
LiPtill their wearers the same danger
that badges of rank formerly did.

A NEW SERVICE.
Now Possible to Send a Day Letter
by Telegraph.
Mr. J. McMillan, who has initiated
many notable improliernents since he
became General Manager of the
C.P.R. Telegraphs eighteen months
ago, has just decided to inaugurate
an important service entirely new to
Canada over the hundred and ten
thousand miles of wire under his
immediate control, namely, the day
letter which may now be sent between
points in Canada on the Canadian Pa-
cific system at a rate very much re-
duced as compared with the usual
commercial rush telegram. Mr. Mc-
Millan is convinced that many of
those who send telegrams would be
quite satisfied if these arrived on the
same day, whereas a proportion of
the cost of the rush telegram is due
to the cost of speedy delivery. The
day letter of fifty words will be rated
at one and a half times the coat of a
regular rush message of ten words
and can still bring an answer the
same day, which is as quick as many
people desire. There are sixteen hun-
dred C.P.R. telegraph offices through-
out Canada, at each of which the new
service will be in force, so that this
will be a Dominion -wide service
stretching from Louisburg, Need'
Scotia, to Victoria, B.C. Messages
will be taken in either French or Eng-
lish, code words not being permissible.
Mr. John McMillan owes his suc-
cess to a genial and tactful disposi-
tion which made Min one of the most
popular C.P.R. officials in the West,
where his work centred until he was
called to the head office in Montreal
last year, Although less than fifty
years of age, he joined the C.P.R. at
its inception, working on construction
in 1883. After acting for a number
of years as operator at Donald B.C.,
he became Inspector of Telegraphs
at Winnipeg in 1902, Assistant Super-
tendent in 1906, Superintendent at
Calgary in 1907, General Superintend-
ent at Winnipeg in 1913, and finally
Manager of the- whole telegraph sys-
tern in March, 1915.
CAN'T CURE PARALYSIS.
Swedish Investigators Confess In-
, ability to Find a Remedy.
Sweden, almost alone among Euro-
pean countries, has been repeatedly
scourged by infantile paralysis, and,
as a result, a number of physicians
and bacteriologists have devoted
themselves for years almost exclusive-
ly to the study of the disease. These
authorities admit that they, as yet, do
not know what can be done to prevent
or cure the disease.
In the words of a report by Dr.
Carl Kling, Professor Alfred Peters -
son and Dr. Wernstedt, "virus car-
riers are very common and often in
number greatly exceed the clinically
positive cases." Disease carriers are
almost inevitably found among
healthy members of families where
cases of poliomyelitis have occurred.
Investigations proved that the secre-
tions of the mucous membranes of
the mouth of a person who had re-
covered from the disease contained
virulent microbes of infantile par-
alysis 204 days after the onset of the
disease. Investigations with other
patients have repeatedly shown the
presence of virulent germ of'the
disease four months and more after
the patient's recovery.
Animal experimentation appears
to have demonstrated, however, that
the microbe gets weaker soon after
the termination of the acute stage
of the disease, probably in eight to
fourteen days after the onset. The
Swedish authorities, however, advise
isolation for some weeks after the
disappearance of the acute symp-
toms.

OVER NINE MILLION DOLLARS
What Forest Fires Cost Canada in "Made in Canada"
the Year 1916.
Canada has lost through forest fire'
in 1916 over nine million dollars. This
equals more than six times what has
been spent on forest protection work
from coast to coast.
The enormous sum wasted through
this year's forest fires most of which
were preventible, would add another
$480 to the first year's Pension al-
lowances of nearly 19,000 Canadian
soldiers.
It is miteworthy that while some
parts of the Dominion owe to rainy
weather their immunity from fire
damage, the season's record proves
beyond gainsay that in areas where
first rate fire protection systems were
In operation, losses of life and pro-
perty were held down to a remark-
able minimum.
Quebec had some heavy fires in the
Lake St. John and Saguenay dis-
tricts, also in the Gaspe peninsula and
west of Escalena on the Transcontin-
ental railway. It is a striking fact,
DOMINION
RAINCOATS
however, that within the 24,000
square miles of Quebec covered by
the two well -organized associations
of limit holders, the amount of green
timber burnt is practically negligible.
This immunity was not a matter of
luck but of consistent patient effort
to educate settlers, lumber -jacks and
others in care with fire, coupled with
a system of promptly reporting all
outbreaks, and attacking forest fires
in their incipiency with large forces
of men and modern equipment.
British Columbia faced fairly fa-
vorable fire conditions through the
summer months and the cost of fire
fighting was reduced by about 75 per
cent, over the record of 1915. The
number of fires was about half of last,
year. The British Columbia forest
protection service is the most com-
plete in Canada thus far and the sav-
ing of timber is a logical conse-
quence.
A heavy average of rainfall kept
fire troubles at arm's length in Al-
berta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba
and this weather condition was un-
doubtedly responsible for the escape
of the main areas of big timber
throughout Ontario. The Claybelt
fires at the end of July and first week I
of August provided a tragic sacrifice
of 262 lives and what is estimated to '
be six million dollars worth of pro-
perty. There was practically no for- I
est guarding organization in the fire -
swept district, except along the rail-
way track.
New Brunswick escaped the risks
of 1916 with a very small timber loss,
Nova Scotia having a similar experi-
ence. The records of the Dominion
Railway Board show that the private -
owned railway lines of Canada have
not been responsible this year for any
damaging forest fires. Those that
were started were promptly extin-
guished by railway employees.
Only an average of one person in
every 350,000 is killed by lightning in
the British Isles every year.

Arabs of Bora Are Learning to Enjoy
Modern Business.
The frontier city and river port of
Besra, in Asiatic Turkey, has since its
occupation by the British in the pres-
ent war enjoyed more prosperity than
in twenty years under Turkish rule,
says a British eye -witness account.
Beare is a green spot. It is like
an oasis in a great desert. The date
palms are festooned with vines, which
make a canopy, and fig trees and
pomegranates with scarlet flowers
grow beneath. The very air seems
to sweat, the weather is so warm.
Strike a match and it will burn dully
without a flicker as if the flame were
choked.
Besra was never so rich; money is
pouring in, trade is brisk, prices are
high. Three banks have opened.
The Arabs of the city are learning
luxurious ways, The four new the-
atres which have sprung up during
the war barely meet their demand for
entertainment. And they are no
longer content with their simple diet
of dates and khobez (a coarse bread),
but purchase English stores and eat
pineapples and salmon and bise.iits
and butter out of a tin.

"See the spider, my sou, spinning
Its web," said the instructive parent
to his small son. "Is it not wonder-
ful? Do you reflect that no man
could, spin that web, no matter how
hard he might try?"
"Well, what of it?" replied the up-
to-date offspring. "Watch me spin
this top. No spider could do that, no
matter how hard -he mighc try."
