'Naval oilicere oonnoeted with the campaign against -the German le boot menace, while gratified over the pro- gross that has been matte itiel'unmng down submarines, are not minimizing the task confronting them during the next few months, These combined efforts have pro- duced -results, but the campaign against the U-boat, while rendering the operations of the latter more dif- ficult, is at the same time made hard- er by steps taken by the Germans to circumvent the plane of this country and the Allies and render the task of the latter greater. The arming of all American merchant ships as well as of most of the British, French and Italian vessels has added im- measurably to the difficulties of the German U.boat commanders, who are now able to use their guns in few in- stances against transocean steam- ships that are armed, and must rely almost entirely on torpedoes. Gun- fire is now used mainly by U-boats only against unarmed vessels. By forcing the submarine to depend more and more on torpedoes for attacks on armed liners, those in charge of the anti-submarine campaign have forced the U-boat captains to go back to their bases more frequelt�y .for re- plenishment of new stoc of torpe- does. . Several New Devices. On the other hand, the longer days Viand better weather of the summer give the U-boats more hours in which to operate, and over and above this the U-boat is being helped by in- ventions resorted to by the German Admiralty in its effort to make it harder to bag the submarine. Reports indicate that there has been remark- able development in the telephone and listening devises of the German sub- marines, and it is said that this en- ables them to hear and locate at a considerable distance the direction and type of vessels from the frequency of their propeller revolutions. This lis- tening radius by the submarine tele- phone is declared to be five miles in the ease of this device on German '-submarines. Another new device is in the shape of four small pumps in each subma- rine regulated by electrical devices so as to enable the hydrostat to indicate the depth of submersion and enable the submarine to remain motionless in the water at will. It is asserted that before this new device was in- stalled, the submarine would either sink or rise to the surface if stopped, but that with these pumps, if the ten- dency is to rise when the U-boat is motionless, more water is pumped in, and if the tendency is toward sinking water is pumped out. Mc a result of the introducton of this device it is asserted a submarine is now able to go to any point on the map of the ocean, submerge to the desired depth and lie perfectly still. It is also asserted that before this device was installed submarine chas- ers were able to hear the throb of the submarine's propellors, but that now submarines may sometimes elude their pursuers by standing still under water. By cutting out lost motion and standing still at times, it is argu- ed, German submarines are also con- serving fuel and staying on their posts longer. Another reported improvement in the German submarine is the tele- scopic periscope. Under the old ar- rangement the periscopes which were not telescopic, went slashing through the water; leaving a wake, by means of which the submarine was often de- tected and destroyed. CURIOUS OLD BRIDGES. The Capital of Kashmir, in India, Has One of the Most Remarkable. Probably no town in the world has such strange bridges as Serinagar, the capital of Kashmir, in India.. The city b is built on the auks of the River Jhelum, which is crossed' by many wooden bridges, -lined 'with old and dilapidated shops and houses, with balconies and lattice windows. Some of these are very insecure, and look as if they might at any time fall into the river beneath. The roofed Kapellbruche, at Lu- cerne, is one of the most interesting. It crosses the River Reuss diagonally, and has 112 triangular paintings be- neath the roof, recording the heroic deeds of the old Switzers and the suf- ferings of their patron saints. In the midst of the.Kapellbrnehe stands an octagonal tower, which formed part' of the fortifications of the town in the thirteenth century. The bridge was built in 1333, One of the most curious and ancient bridges .in Europe is that at Croyland, in Lincolnshire, which .is supposed to date from the ninth century' No road now passes over and no water under it. It consists of three points arches, which meet in the centre, and the as- cent is so steep that only foot -passen- gers can go, over it. Upon the bridge is a seated figure in stone of a robed Saxon king. elft ;lil> 'Summer Gomes to the man or woman whose daily' diet consists of cereals and fruits,' l.VIeat and potatoes are a heavy load on the digestive organs, The ideal Summer diet is Shred. ded Wheat Biscuit, a food that is 100 per cent,whole wheat and prepared in .a digestible form, For break- ' fast with sliced bananas or berries, with milk or cream.

The meeting of the Prince regent, the emperor's father, who only yes- terday had been the real ruler of China, all-powerful, master of the pro- perty and the lives o:e his subiocte, the successor to twenty-five dynasties of emperors, with Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the republican leader, the conspirator and rebel on- whose head a price had so. Jong been set, was a scene that the witnesses will always remember. Mr. Fernand Farjenel describes it in Through the Chinese Revolution : While I wee talking with Sun Mat- son, says the author, a servant handed a paper to the Chinese statesman. "I must leave you at once," he said.. "Here is the prince regent I" He shook hands and hurried to a room on. the upper floor, :possibly with the idea of typifying the new order of things by compelling the representa- tive to the imperial government to walk upstairs to .interview a son of the people. As we want out into: the hall to watch .the approach of the former sovereign, a blast of trumpets herald- ed his coming, and the palace guards,. in their khaki uniforms and .flat caps, presented arms at the door. Then we saw, in the sunlight, at the top of the steps, a young Chinese about thirty years of age, with a kindly face and a shaven dead, and bearing 'a blue robe with a black sleeveless overcoat. Ac- companying him were two or three Chinese and a black -coated European. An omcer of the palace guard preced- ed the party. The little group advanced, but numerous clerks and soldiers crowded round, anxious to have a nearer view of the prince before whom, only a year ago, they would. have prostrated themselves humbly. They stared at him now impudently, and their little, furtive black eyee seemed to say, "You are nobody to -day !" An official was obliged to clear the way for the regent, who hurried along and seemed anxious to avoid the 'stares of the crowd. Escorted by an officer, he passed close to us and climbed the great staircase, walking with bent head and stooping shoulders, as ife ho boreethe weight of his past grand ur. Finally the little party disappeared on the floor above. On leaving the palace we sncoiluter- ed three or four servants wearingthe royal livery, blue robes with white, conical hats covered with red fringes. They were holding some little, groomed horses, horses, That was the sorry remnant of all the imperial pomp !

Loss of appetite during the sum- mer months is a common trouble, and indicates that the digestive sys- tem is out of order. Lacking a healthy appetite many people-es- peeially women -go too long with- out food, or eat sparingly because food seems to distress them, and it is no wonder that they complain that they ase constantly tired and unable to stand the hot weather. This sim-. ply means that the digestive system is not doing its proper work, and that the nutriment that should come from the food isnot being distributed to the vaous organs of the body. In other words the blood is growing thin and watery. You need a summer tonic, and in all the realm of medicine there is, no tonic can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Take. a short treatment with these pills now and notice how promptly your appetite returns and your power to digest food improves. Your food will then do you good, your strength will return and. you will no longer .complain that the hot weather tires you out. The best tione to begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the- moment you feel the least bit out of sorts. The sooner you do so the sooner you will regain your old time energy, You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box --or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. DEMOCRATIC ART. Many Pictures in Royal Academy Come From Humble Folk. It need not be thought that the walls of he Royal Academy in London are a preserve for those who have had a special art training. Good pictures often come from quite unexpected places. A publican is quite. a fre- ' quent exhibitor, whilst recently a quartermaster of the Royal Engineers had a picture exhibited, and a railway clerk and several postmen -thanks to the Post Office Arts Club -have been !exhibitors at our principal art exhibi- tion within recent years.

The fact is that there is likely to be a great widening of artistic accom- plishment in this country, because col- or work has been taken up so enthu- siastically in the people's schools, And if this development is well directed and fostered; it should help ns to com- pete with any other country in the world in the beauty of our designs in manufactured articles, for art is not a thing of the studio only, but of the workshop. e Paper board, one of the best noncon- ductors of heat known, makes an ideal mat for the dining table.

Probably the most impressive tbing about the Canadian Rockies is their massive ruggedness. These mountains are tremendous uplifts of stratified rock of the devonian and carbonifer- ous ages which have broken out of the crust of the earth and slowly heaved aloft. On the right and left the travel- ler through this district will see snow - laden promontories rising thousands of feet, penetrated by enormous al- coves in which haze and shadow of gorgeous Coloring lie engulfed. Some sections, miles and miles in breath and thoi sands of feet thick, have pushed straight up, so that their strata remains as before; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious side pressure, while all have been broken down and worn !away until now they are only colossal n' fragments of the original uplifts, At Banff, an altitude of 4:621 feet, situated in the Canadian National Park,, are located the hot springs. This park is a national reservation of 5,782 square miles, embracing parts of the valleys`of the Bow, Spray and' Cascade rivers, Lake Minniwanka and several noble mountain ranges, Beyond are the Divide and the Yoho 'Valley, This national park is the largest in the world, being nearly one-half as large again as the Yellowstone Park of the United States. No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime scenery, and nowhere are good points of view and features of. interest so accessible, since many ex- cellent roads and bridle paths have been recently constructed. Banff is in the midst of many impressive mountains. Northward is Cascade Mountain, 9,825 feet; eastward is Mount Inglismalde and the Height of Fairholme of the Fairholme subrange, beyond which lies Lake Minniwanka. The sulphur springs at Banti are noted for their curative properties and each year are the gathering' places for' tourists from 'all parts of the world. Twenty miles south of Banff is Mount Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of the new world, the ascent of which, after several unsuccessful attempts, was made in the autumn of 1901 by James Outram and a party of Swiss guides. This is to certify that fourteen years ago I got the cords of my left wrist nearly severed, and was for about nine months that I had no use of my hand, and tried.other Liniments, also doctors, and was receiving no benefit. By a persuasion from a friend I got MINARD'S LINIMENT and used one bottle which completely cured me, and have been using MIN- ARD'S LINIMENT in my family ever since and find it the same as when I first used it, and would never be with- out it.

The amateur literary craftsman will do well to look to the quality and character of his three meals a day. An investigator who has been check= ing up on literary history has evolved the curious theory that the quality and character'of literary product ft gov- erned almost entirely by the diet of the writer. A literary man, according to the new thought, can get any kind of a game he wants by regulating his diet. Toast and, tea, for instance, would be about the right feed for Spring poetry, while pig's knuckles and sauerkraut would be fine for any topic that called for plain speaking, right to the point. Thus J. Whitcomb Riley was at his best when subsisting on Graham crackers. When J. Whitcomb was in a condition of absolute hunger he was capable of reaching out and grapping anytime that he word to rhyme a y wanted it. Mark Twain favored champagne and light lunches, and some of his most sparkling humor was tossed off after lunch.

The Yarns About Fighting to the Death Not Founded on Fact. It is a great error for the senti- mental nature writers, or "nature fakers," as they have been termed, to describe battles to the death between well -matured antagonists either of different kinds or the same species. Animals do fight and for many rea- sons; hunger may compel one to, at- tack another if he thinks he can get away with the job of killing it; two males may scrap savagely over ,the complicated question of .courtship; or two or more of either sex may fight over a bit of food or a kill. But, how- ever strong the incentive, however deep the anger, there is always the sense of injury and the pain of in- flicted hurts to cause these creatures to cease before being very badly clawed up, bitten or torn. There is never enough of gameness to warrant unless an antag- onist fight to the death u ess g that its nfst is so superior to anothera o p injuries are slight in comparison to what it may sustain. Wildcats sometimes get into fights that make the woods resound with their snarls and growlings, but they quit before much harm is done, one generally being whipped. Foxes fight also, shedding blood on the late win- ter snows, and now and then they get into pretty evenly matched contests with racoons and stinks.' Minks also fight each other, often over the .food question, one having caught fish, bird or mouse that an- other covets entire, but while this ft .sharp and savage one quits before great injury is done. Bears generally get along with a growl toward those whom they can- not tolerate; rarely do they come to blows. There is a common agreement to keep off of each other's domains, or hunting grounds, which have ra- ther definite though wide limits. Occasionally bears and pumas have ISSUE No. 29-'17. derous messages on a combed and cabbage diet.
