The number of automobiles in CanadaI'
in 1,922 increased over the previous
ytetir by 9.6 per cent. In 1921 theses
were. 470,362 autornobiles owned by'
clanadians and in •the f;o11owing year

months of • 45,445.
The Province of Ontario led In the
possession of cars with a total of 238,-
6e0,, followed by Qeedieo with 69,324.
Saslua'tehewan was thirdwith 00,648,
followed by Manitoba with 41,885 and
Alberta with 40,308. British CSdum'bia
occupied fifth place with 33,830; the
Maritime Proven COS foliawfmg, with
Nova Scotia 16,029, New Brunswick
13,419, and Prince Edward Island
There is approximately one automo-
bile for every sixteen persons in Can-
ada. The Province of Saska'tc'hewan
leads in ,the per capita ownership of
automobiles with one car to every
nine persons. Ontario 1s sectond with

The posseeelon oe ;,setomobiles Is in-
creasing in Canada, as' indicated in, the
fact that in 1921 these was approxim-
ately one ear throughout the country
to every eighteen persons. Saskat-
chewan has reduced her figure from
131, British Columbia from 37, Al-
berta from 17, and Manitoba from 18.
Ontanto hos effected a big reduction
from her previous figure of 204 and
Quebec halved her 1921 figure- of 66.
Even the Maritime Provinces show
very substantial rednehiona, and in
every province of the Dominion there
are more cans, in proportion to Copula-
tion than a year or so ago,
It will be at Dice noted that the ma'.
laxity of cars are owned in the West-
ern
eiern provinces of the Dominion, or in
the agricultearnl areas, where large
populous centres' are few. This is an
encouraging indication in a land where
agriculture is the first and basic of all

trend in the life of the weetera farmer.

Demagnetizing Watches.
Very often an electrioian ar an en
eineer or even a visitor to an oleotel°
light leant discovers after a few days
that his watch is losing half an hour a
day or more from beeomdug magnet-
ized ' by the dynamos. In the newer
atittiens where the most modern nue
chines are used there ie not so much
danger from these "story" magnetic
• fields as there is around older types of
machines.
The apparatus used by jewelers far
correcting this trouble oons,ists of an
elliptical piece of soft iron with a hole
In the center 'large enough to permit
the watch to be inserted Over the

With very little trouble and, no ex-

method. Take a ]heavy thread, or a
light string about two feet long and
tie tate ring of the waboh to it. Hold
the string by one enol and turn the
watch around until the string is twig',

Archaeology.
A new_ epoch in archaeology has
been opened up with the use of air-
planes for photographing ancient sites.
This is the opinion of 0. G. S. Craw-
ford, archaeologist with the British
ordnance survey, as a result of his in_
election of snapshots taken for prac-
tice by the air force o'ieer near Win-
chester,
Aerial photography has been used by
the American expedition which Is
now working on the site of ancient
Carthage, on the north coast of Africa,
to plan a. founationline for. the sub-
merged mole which guarded the har-
bor of the Punic city destroyed by the
Romans.
Discovery Made by Chance. .
'The discovery was made more or
less accidentally when an airman who
took photographs in the course of
his mlditery work 'ound on them cer-
tain strange, markings,. On ploughed
land these appeared as bands •of
lighter calmed soil, forming a pattern
of irregtalar squares and rectangles.
The clew to the nature of these mark-
ings is indicated in the lines of Rud-
yard Kipling's "Puck's ;Song":
"See you the marks that show and
fad's
Like shadows• on the downs?
Oh,' those wase the lines the flint -men
made
To guard their wondrous towns.
"And see you after the rain the trace
Of ditch and mound and wall?
Oh, that was a legion's'.oamping place
When Caesar sailed from Gaul."
When the photos were submitted to
Mr. Crawford he was soon able to
identify the mysterious markings on
them as ancient British "lynehete,' or
field boundaries, which were formed
during the Roman occupation•of. Brie
sin' and perhaps some centuries be -
Sere. The ancient British eyetem of
agriculture was entirely different from
that obtafmdng to.d'ay, which ie direct-
ly descended, with modifications, from
theearlySaxon syetom.
The Celtic s'ys'tem, as revealed by
the airplane photos, was a network of
small patches, rarely mase than two t0
three acres' in. size. In many oases
there could be, seen upon the same sec-
tion nearby mounds and hollows of
tile river velioys, which they oleared,
When the Saxon invaders arrived they
destroyed the upland Celtic villages,
and, when .they settled, down founded
new villages along the line of the for.,
tile river, valiayee, which they oleared,
introducing from Germhany'a system of
strlp oultieation radically different
from the o'ld'er British system.

ers, she is unable be discharge her cargo, which includes four hundred tons

SYMPTOMS OF DEBILITY
Now there is some prospect that the
airplane may help soave the problems
connected with the earliest inhabitanis,
of Britain. It is conceded that the
science of air photography for archae-
ological purposes fe still in its infancy,
butthe results so far obtained are re-
' garded as most encouraging. The
height does not seen an important
factor, as 6,000 feet gave good aver-
age results, The experiments in ling -
land wi•11 be continued, and though the
presence of chalk in the soil of the
valleys' where the prehistoric settle-
ments were established is a factor
which' is not present elsewhere, it is
hoped that further inquiry will enable
a method to be applied to atlaer ancient.
sites.
Seeing Without Eyes.
A Frenchman has lately startled the
world with the extraordinary theory
that the sightless may yet see —.
through their skins! The s'eientist 1s' Dr. Farigoule, and
he points out that there is no scien-
tific law which in Itself opposes his
theory that man may be made to see
through his skin, even though he can-
not
annot do so with his eyes. .
There is scientific proof that twb
creatures, which have no eyes et all
can yet see. These are the ordinary
earthworm and a certain beetle which
only comes out at night.
Many living things without ears, or
any apparatus corresponding 40 ears,-
seem to have a fins sense of hearing.
It is a well-known fact that our skin
not only feels, but breathee,, and to a
certain extent does the same work aa
the klaneys in expelling waste matter.
Dr. Farigoule states that the skin le
an organ of sight, not as efficient as
the eyes, but better thea nothing.
Pt is not suggested that a man .may
close 'hie eyea' and ' suddenly see
through lids skin, but it is asserted
that a man who cannot use his 'eyes
may be trained to see his slain instead,
and by this means • distinguish colors
and shapes and even read figures and
letters.
Scientists are learnlug new things
about the human skin every year, 80
that these wonders may yet come true.

How to Tell Whether Your Blood
Needs Revitalizing.
The symptoms of general debility
vary according to the cause, but weak.
nese is always present, a tendency to
perspire and fatigue easily, ringing in
the ears, sometimes black spots pass-
ing before the eyes, weak back, vertigo,
wakefulness caused by inability to
stop thinking and unrefreshing sleep.
the cause of the trouble may be some
drain on the system, or it may be
mental or physical overwork, 'ome-
timea insufficient nutrition due to
digestive disturbance.
If you have any or all of these
symptoms try building up the blood
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as
the new blood courses : through your
veins there should be an increase in
your appetite, a better digestion and
soon a renewal of strength and vigor.
You can get these pills through any

Among the soldiers, however, was,
