A Laughing Traveller.—'On Tues -
'day evening around 11 o'clock a man,
',apparently of foreign extraction,
.created a disturbance on the veran-
'dale of Herbert Cam'pbel'l, \Viugham,
'and .when ordered off, .would just
:laugh. Then this wandering gentle-
man with pack an back, followed Jack
Templeman to his father's home, eiit-
ering the house after Jack. 1 -Ie said
he had walked from Kincardine. and
continued to laugh, He was ordered
out but would not go, but when Jack
went out he followed him peacefully
to the town hall, where he entertained
those about by sitting in the middle
of the road and laughing. When
Chief+Allen arrived he resisted arrest
but finally the hand -cuffs were placed
on hint and next morning he was tak-
,en to Goderich.
Fiery Cross at Goderich, — A few
years ago there was a great epidemic
of fiery crosses in all parts of the con-
-tinetit, but little has been heard of it
lately. However, considerable inter-
-est was aroused in Goderich last week
'by an incident which may have been
the prank of some youngsters. At
Midnight on Friday a 'fiery cross was
burned on the lawn in front of Mr.
William Quigley's hone on St. Pat-
rick's street. The cross was about
four feet in height and had been
wound with rags and soaked with ga-
soline or kerosene.

!THOUGHTS ON EGIVAONDVILL'E
Horse Frightened.—The sleigh in
the service of the Seafor'th Board of
IISealth nearly came to grief on Main
street Friday afternoon when a huge
slide of snow from the roof of one of
the buildings landed on the sidewalk
and freightened the horse which was
passing at the time. , Fortunately, no
serious damage resulted.
Oil Electric Engine on C.N.R.-I't
required $7.80 worth of :fuel oil to
'bring the noon train on the C.N'R,
from Toronto to ,Goderich on its in-
itial run last Tuesday with the famous
9000 two -unit diesel oil electric en-
gines which made the coast to coast
trip last year, a good deal cheaper than
coal, •surely: The $7!30 consisted of
730 gallons of oil at 6 cents a 'gallon.
'This power unit has been operating
between' Toronto and Stratford for
some time and now makes the run
right through to Goderich, returning
with the afternoon train. It is likely
-that this train will be operated in this
way regularly. The power mitt con-
sists of two engines, each of twelve
cylinders, either one of which would
'be sufficient to haul the train they are
attached to but the duplication o'f
'po'wer is chiefly in case anything
should go wrong with one of the units.
The engines, the only ones of their
size in Canada, were built in Scotland
-and assemlbied in Canada. " This sort
eef power is a stere fraction of the old
steam engine's cost for coal, but en-
gineer's admit it 'is not wholly satis-
factory on account of greater need for
repairs and repairs being hard to get.
+Conductor Van1H'orne was in charge
of the train and he had Engineer
Mann with 'him and. Traffic Locomo-
tive Foreman W. Kerwood, of .Strat-
ford, was on board. Each engine
weighs l'60 tons and the dnal unit can
haul some 1700 tans, go is thus ample
to haul any train out o'f Goderich, the
way freight averaging about 1500 tons.
The oil electric outfit has a quick
'pickup and is capable of good speed.
It is a curious looking outfit and; it
remains to be seen to what extent this
'ty'pe of power will ultimately be ad-
opted by railroads,

The c'hie'f advantages o'f coop rota-
tion consist in maintaining the p'ro-
ductivity of the :land ,at a higher•
level, in distributing the farm labour
more uniformly throughout the sea-
son, and in controlling more effective-" "
ly weeds, insects, and fungous dis-
eases. Crop rotation is the growing
of different crops upon the same land
