CONFUSION CLE'ARE'D UP. ,Items appearing in several Ontario newslp:apers on ,January 4th regarding a method of pro:cesssing honey invent- ed by a former Gu'elphite at Cornetll University are im'eonopl'ete and rather con'fusiug, lin the ,interests of the in- ventor and .of the Oneario Agricult- ural College an, explanation seems ,ne- cessary.., The inventor, Dr. Dyce, is and. has been for several years a member of the Faculty of the O.A.'C„ and the process referred to was the result o'f research conduote'd by hint while he was on leave of absence and taking post` graduate work at Cornell Univ- ersity. The process is now recognized as being of great value to the honey industry, and Dr. Dyce is deserving of commendation for having applied for patents in both the Unite'd States and Canada, and for turning these ,pate'n'ts over to Cornell University' for the United States and to the Ontario Agricultural College for Canada. S'ta'ted briefly, the process is one of pasteurizing the honey et a certain definite temperature to prevent fer- mentation and then cooling it rapidly to avoid loss of flavour, Ten per cent. of previously pro'ccssed honey is stir- red into the liquid honey after it is cooled. This acts as starter which promotes rapid granulati'o'n so that within a few days, at a lower temper- ature, the whole mass takes on a fine, smooth, uniform, semi-solid' .texture; is safe from fermentation, and retains its natural delicious ;• flavour. This processed honey is very satisfactory for table and kitchen use. The process is now being adapted by the Ontario Honey Producers' Co- operative, ,and Dr, ;. F. P'hilllps, head of the Department of Apiculture at Cornell University, in an article ap- pearing in the January issue of "Gleanings in Bee Culture," speaks glowsngiy of Dr. D'yce's work and oaf the fine contribution'which he has made to the honey :industry of Canada and the United States,' When. Winter Comes A "Snowmobile" used in the Maritime Provinces DOWN in the Maritime Provinces the Canadian Fords wear snow shoes. Here is a Ford «Snowmo- bile" all set for a hard 'winter. Proof that it will get over the roads no hatter hove high the drifts may be is furnished by Cap- tain Donald, McMillan, the famous Arctic: explorer, who was first to use a "snowmobile" in the Far ,North. With his Ford thus equip- , ped; he travelled nearly two thous- and miles over ice on one expedi- tion, at the rate of twenty-five miles are hour. This, of course, is far better than dogs can do in or- dinary,, circumstances, The McMil- lan ' snowmobile" has a tractor tread and runners. A Model A Ford, such as that shown in the accompanying illus- tration, is used by a lumber con- cern in the Maritime Provinces. It travels regularly over a rough wood road at ten miles an hour. Another used by a large, hotel, has accomplished 'a speed of twenty- five to thirty miles an hour with ease on well built roads on which, however, three or four feet of snow has accumulated. The "snowmobile" has skiis where the front wheels ordinarily would be. 'Heavy chains furnish traction for the rear wheels no matter how deep the snow maybe. A Ford dealer has just reported that one such car regularly 'car- ries five passengers over a wood road . to a lumber camp. 1 ,Even more terrible' then theperils o'f shipwreck are arose of" fire at sea: To be engulfed by the waters or cast �lwv'ay on an. inhospitable shore, is a fearsome'thing,'be1 to be cut off from escape on any side While the narrowcoiilfu es of the decks lbeneath one's ifeet are slo'w1y trateslforine'i into a veritable, 'hell, is surely a bhotusand times more denadlerl; In' s'hi p ;wreck , one can but drown, but in tile' :case.

On the Great Lakes a vessel 0n fire has a 'better. chance of being succor- ed or 'beached than on 'the wide and 'lonesome ocean. 'But comparative proximity to the laid does not al- 'w'ays insure rescue in ,such a case, as the loss of life occasioned by the burn- ing Of the steamer Manitoulin shows. Fire at sea was more frequent and destructive in the old days of wooden' vessels than at this time, when iron and steel have largely .replaced. more connbnsti'ble materi'al's, not anlyf in ocean ship'bttitding, but on inland waters, And the investigator'will find that in days gone by ;some terrible stories were written in letters of flame upon the annals of seam'ans'h'i'p on the (Great Lakes. Such a story it is that enshrines the' :name of "Brave Jahn !Maynard" as a hum'b'le man alh'o yet suffered a sublime martyrdom, and such a story forms one of the most thrilling chlapters of desperate ad- venture and splendid heroism in the 'history Of the Georgian Bay. The s.s. 'Manitoulin was a staunch and beautiful propeller. 'Built at (Owen Sound in the winter of 11879- 180 by 'Captain Jolie Simpson, she was awned by the Great 'Northern 'Transit •Co'mp'any, and • plied between Colling- wood, Owen Sound and Sault Ste. Marie. 'She 'had already two success- ful seasons 'on.'her route, and was entering upon a third. 'On Wednes- day,: May 117th, 1882, she left Colling- wood for her regular trip, Heavily l'a'den ,with settlers' :effects and mer- chandise For northern storekeepers, and carrying• in her cabins a large .nu'mbe'r of passengers, mostly com- inercial travellers, move hilts ' return- ing to the Algoma villages after •hav- ing 'bought summer stocks at eastern wholesale centres, and farriers going to the north to take tip 11011, The weather was fine, as it usually is in May, and all went merrily until the second day ou't, 'As :the steamer was sailing quietly flames when her ba pitatiii'g frame grated with a welcome shock on the shelving beach. In this . short inter - vat, eleven lives were lost. One ' of the cap'tain's first orders had , been to 'clear away the boats, and to get lines drown over the bows to lower away the ,passengers as soon as the s'ho're was reached. The two for- ward boats were ,swung clear and reserved for ase in case the steamer grounded' some distance ,from land, But, though every ,pr'ovis'ion for saving ail on board had thus been made, with a coolness and foresight simply marvelous under such circumstances, panic s'eize'd upon a number of pas- sengers and occasbon'ed a loss of life that self-possession might have pre- vented, Some jumped. .overboard without properly fastening on the life preservers; a davit broke as a boat was being lowered, and precipitated (ethers into the water; still others were s'uffoca'tes; or burned. One scene 'elf a terribly pathetic ch'ar'acter was ,enacted. Thos, Hanbury and ' wife were in the after cabin, making their way forward to a place of safety, when the latter. fainted. The husband remained by the wife's side a moment trying- to revive her, and in that ;bort period his escape was cut off. The two were .burned to death in each other's arms, 'At the last moment some of the women and children her( to be thrown overboard to save thein, and twenty or thirty ;pers'on's were badly scorched or bruised. When the 'vessel was beached with her nose in but a foot of water, .the wheelhouse was already banning over the head of the brave xiheel'sman, .Playter, who afterwards became a captain. He and the captain were the last to leave the ship -the latter es- caping over the .stem with a child in his arms. Once ashore, the captain lost no time in getting the remain- ing boats manned and pushed away from land to save those Who had jumped from the steamer or been. up- set out of boats. There is no ques- tion that, had it not been for the heroic, coolness and decision of Cap- tain Campbell, the loss of life would 'have been appalling. :But with ad- mirable modesty, he praised only the conduct of crew and passengers, and left the story of :his own heroism to be told by other's. The mails and the cargo were to- tally consumed. Nothing remained of the steamer above the water line. The purser's books and the personal effects of the passengers and crew were all destroyed. The people of Manitawansng witnes'se'd the disaster up Man'itow,aning Bay, and when from their homes, and a large num- ber of them proceeded to the scene in boats and offered much-needed help to the 'survivors, many, of wwhoni were in pitiable distress, 'mentally as well as plhysically. :Captain Campbell con'tin'ued for neaniy fonty years, weathering the winds of the Georgian Bay. His next command after the Manitoulin was the Pacific, and on that steamer, as well as on the Majestic,he trade lit- erally thousands of friends, Engineer Lockerbie; no less a hero than Cap- tains Cam'pbel'l and Playter, had charge for 'many years of the engines of the Athabasca, one of the splen- did steed steamers of the .C.'RiR, ply- ing betweena. Owen Sound and Fort William'. about tour miles from the village and :but a .mile and a qu'aaiter from tine ,n'eares't land, (the cry of "F•irel" was raised. Captain P. M. Campbell and a majority" of the first-class passen- gers were si'ttin'g at dinner .when a man rushed up from the lower deck and shouted that - one terrifying word through blue cabin. The captain hur- hied below and found the engine - room swa'thed in flames, which the engineers were fra'ntica'lly but inef- fectively trying to stay. Remaining there only long enough to see a hose playing on the 'fire and to or'der En- gineer Lockerbie, if possible, to give the engine's Full speed ahead, as he passed through theca'biti -he gave in- structions to the waiters to get life - preservers on all the passengers, and to see that everybody not employed 'fighting elle fire carne without delay to the bow df the vessel, The 'captain gave these orders because he knew that the flames Thad already gained a 'headway that could never be clie'cked. Then he told rhe wheel's- man, 'Playter, to head the ship for, the Wcckwanikong shore, one and a quarter miles distant, and .from wlh'ic'h the wined was blowing, "It ,was to be is, of course, a good indication of its a race between the good steamer Manitoulin and the Fire Fiend, with Sonroe seeress of human lives as the prize,' Chief Engineer Lockerbie, In obey- ing .his orders to give the engines full' speed, acted an he'roic part, He had just, beets' relieved from, duty, when the alarm of fire was given._ At the risk of his 'life he made his way to the engine, and 'pulled open the throt- tle.

In passing sentence His ,Lordship said that 'perjury is something apart frdm .its moral aspects and cannot in the interests of society be tolerated. Persoirs who commit pertiury 'must be punished severely so .that the pu'bl'ic j .will kndw 'that the crime will not go unpunished, and that all persons call- ed upon in court to give evidence can- not 'with ilmpunity deceive the court by giving false evid'e'nce.

HUMBLE TURNIP IIS POPULAR 'Few people realize the important place occupied by the humble Caned-, tat turnip in the annual trade between Canada and the United States. Fig- ures just made available by the Can- adian 'National Railways show that over their lines alone no less than. 2,- 000 car loads of this commodity move every year. Refrigerator cars are used exclusively for the handling of this traffic, and each holds 30,000 pounds.

Figures for the two years are: 1930, 731,995 bushels; 1931, 1,126,787 bushels. Gold production from Northern Ontario mines in 1931 is estimat- ed to have a value of $43,000,000. Since mining began' 25 years ago, these mines have produced to a value of $395,000,000 worth of gold. , The Mountain comes to Maho- met these days. University of Alberta gives educational courses by radio four times a week, en- abling those unable to attend in person to have the university taken to them. Total value of alt field crops produced in Canada in 1931 is estimated at $431,251,000, of which wheat accounts for $108,- 786,000. Hay and clover is the next most valuable crop, being put at $113,961,000. A solid block of blue granite hewn from the side of Mt.
