In ether words, the American dollar in Canada corn - mended a premium of 10%.' Not'inany months Before that, an American ten -dollar bill brought $11,90 in Canada --a premium of 19%, To -clay, the: difference between the two currencies is 'so entail es to be negligible. A differential of 1.64 of 1%. (to -day 1-8 of 1%—Editor). pleasures the present premium, and some con- tracts have been Made on abeclute parity. The disappearance of the premium of the American dollar in Canada is, - in -some s - iu-s•ome part; the result of a contrac- tion in American trade abroad, but in great measure It is the result of. the expansion of Canadian trade and the very general and substantial improve- inentin the Dominion's economic posi- tion. The re-establishment ofparity between Canada- and America marks the ending of an era, as trying as it was heroic, in Canada's economic his- tory. In view of this recovery in ,Canadian affairs,' American business men and investors are displaying considerably increased' interest in their northern neighbor. Tho tendency derives add- ed impetus from the friendship and amity which would naturally exist be- tween two peoples who speak the same language and are in nearly absolute accord as regards customs and prin- ciples of trade and commerce. The bueinoss mane interests centre on Canada's products of foodstuffs, her vast timberlands, her mineral re- sources and asbestos 'mines. While the Dominion has undergone develop- ment on a colossal scale in the last quarter-century, the business man is aware that her territory still embraces one of the world's few remaining open spaces, and that a steadily growing market is certain to develop. The investor looks to Canada's big industrial plants — British Empire Steel, Canada Cement, Dominion Glass --her famous pulp and paper mills, in- cluding Spanish River, Abitibi and Laurentide, her utilities and her rail- roads, especially the empire -building Canadian Pacific. • Cr The Battle of 'Three Rivers. Ottawa, Ont.—Arrangements have been madeuy. the Department of the Interior to erect a monument on des Porges Street, at Three Rivers, Que- bec, to commemorate' one of the most interesting of the' minor battles that followed the American attack on Que- bec by Arnold and, Montgomery in 1775. In the spring of the following 77 P g g year many of the American troops passed Three: Rivers in wretched con- dition and the evacuation of the coun- try seemed to be proceeding at great aimed, bet on June 8 it was learned that an American column was march- ing on the town, which was without garrison or defence. A corps of volun- teers was organized by Joseph Bouch - or de bliverville who managed to hold 'the enemy at bay until the arrival of a detachment of Royal Light Infantry from Quebec. A constant fire was maintained- by the Canadians and the Americans' were dispersed. The Americans had captured Antoine Gauthier,habitant, and obliged him to act as their guide. "Gauthier pointed out to them," says Da; Suite, the Cana- dian Historian, "the great risk of marching by the main road cm account of the gunboats. watching along the river and consequently, he was allowed to strike through the bush to Ste. Mar- guerite. Be lengthened the circuit so well:t.hat the •iroope in town had time to .cut a long trennb, in the common and. plant the battery on the crests of the hill near -by so as •to cover the most part of the column. On June 8 the at- tack` was made on the whole lino of the trench, but the Americans were so well peppered by the rifles, and _cannon that they retired without renewing the attempt" Mr, William Micheline of Three Rivers, has generously donated a pieoe of ground near the, site of this. battle. A monument is to be erected and a memorial' bronze tablet placed thereon. Language of Stamps Had Old Beginnings..

M. Montgomery - A Plague -Proof Cay in India By J. H. Stephens Although Europe had suffered from many visitations of plague before and during the Middle Ages, -it was not un- til the nineteenth century that plague came to India. This was due to the prevalence in India of the ancient caste system of the Brahmins, which resulted in sepa- ration and segregation. The higher castes lived apart • from the lower castes, and between each of such se- gregations open' spaces were left which allowed the circulation of fresh air, and provided for -expansion with- out congestion. Thus, unwittingly, the caste system adopted one of the most effective measures for prevent- ing the spreading of disease. Under British administration, caste rules- were less strictly observed, and the different castes tended to converge. whilst congestion lnereased, resulting in the first appearance of plague in the city g p of Bangalore, capital of the native state of Mysore, South India. It broke out first in the most congested quarter, where sunlight and air were excluded - or polluted. • The natives were used to cholera and smallpox, but this new disease appalled them, and they appealed to their trusted friend, the British government, Or help. In seeking a permanent preventive of plague it was found that the disease hada peculiar :affinity for rodents, and the house rat, being the 'commonest rodent, becomes its first victim. The fleas' from the dead rat carry it to human 'beings. The rats, however, al- though they were the first victims of the disease, were not its first cause. This was•folfnd to be the absence of light- sled air' that resulted ' from con-. • gestion. The first remedy 'to be adopt- ed, therefore, was to find a place where neither of these conditions would exist. As a first step in this direction, about 60 acres of agricultural land, with open ground all around it, was ac- quired on the outskirts of Bangalore, and this was laid out as a new Plague - proof settlement. The roads and streets were made very wide for India, and were sunk about 18 inches below the ground level. Thus the building sites between the roads and streets Were in the form of elevated platforms which kept the houses high and dry and free from dampness and moisture during the wettest season. Small de- tached houses for the poor were erect- ed with open yards around each house. The site of each' building- was one - twentieth of an acre, and was divided into three parts, only one of which could be built on, the other two parts being left as an open yard. This made the new town not'onlY plague -proof, but also a particularly healthy and agreeable place to live in, The town has become very popular, and is finan- cially a great success, spreading rapid - 1y in every direction. Bangalore has now learned that plague is a preventable disease, and than its bitter experiences of the past could have been avoided if overcrowd- ing had been checked and kept under proper control. Younger cities may, learn valuable lessons from these experiences. Cities are going to expand more rapidly in the future than in the past, and if na- ture's laws are strictly observed, a healthier race of city population will come into being. Homesickness.

You know that no two people in the world have finger-tips that are exactly alike. The arrangementof the little ridges and furrows of the skin differs. in every ease, hence fingerprints are the most certain method of identifica- tion that is known. .It has been found that a very similar Method can be used : `for identifying cattle, but in this case the nose is used as the testing spot. The wrinkles • of the tip of the noseare never dupli- cated in different animals. Nose -prints are made by applying a thick ink 0a, the soft skin between the nostrils, and then taking an impres- sion upon a piece of soft, absorbent paper. They supply an invaluable method of sorting out valuable cattle when, as sometimes- happens, they become mix- ed up after a show. No one could safe- ly steal a pedigree animal whose nose - print had been taken and "filed," for it would be impossible for the thief to remove the means of identification. A Air Patrol Service Proposed. Banff, Alta.—A survey of suitable aerodrome and landing sites in connec- tion with a proposed aeroplane patrol in Band and Kootenay National Parks has been completed by the Acting DI - rector of the Air Force and the Inspec- tor of Canadian National Parks. An aerodrome site near Canmore in Bang National Park and eight other essen- tial landing places were selected in the two parks, as well as a number of emergency and non-essential landing grounds. ' With the opening of the Banff -Win- dermere motor highway across the Rockies, and the resulting increase in traffic through the parks the fire haz- ard will be considerably enhanced and it is believed that the establishment of anaeroplane patrol service wi l• be of great importance in this connection. Owing to the mountainous nature of the country the regular warden ser- vice is handicapped in its patrol work and the feasibility of aeroplanes in augmenting the service has been under consideration by the Department of tie Interior for some time. Hoots Mon! A raw Highlander was put on guard outside the commanding.oificer's tent. In the morning the colonel looked out, - and though he prided himself on know- ing all his men, the sentry's face was unfamiliar. "Who are you?" the asked. "A'am fine, thank ye," was the re- ply. "Moo's yerself?" Fresh and rosy—or pinched and chilly? That's a matter for Mother to decide.

It is not its smoothness that makes it so, for ice, as a matter of fact, is nearly always rather rough. 'A sheet of glass is far smoother and much harder, but you would not be able to slide far on it. When You place the sole of your boot or the blade of a skate on the ice, the pressure ' caused by your weight causes a slight melting to take place; In' this way a thin 'film of water is formed between boot (or skate) and the surface of the ice. This film acts as a lubricant which allows your foot to glide forward almost without effort on your part.• In Mice long night of the Arctic re- gions} the cold is so intense that the pressure caused by one's weight is not sufficient to melt the surface of the 105, Explorers often report coming across- sheets of ice' which for this reason are hardly more slippery than an ordinary stone -flagged pavement. Destruction of Eider Duck.
