It is quite evident the, enarrowee' can do' nothing, right. for this writer. He has outlived his welcome in America,. „When first introduced some flay' years 'ago, he received quite an 'Ovation.

And, after all, this sparrow is man's nearest�nelghbor. He loves a Kaman. He attends man in almost every con- tinent, and among"birds, like the this- - tie among plants, he is the most cos- mopolitan. Amid city smoke and fog he continues loyal. There he is to be found, nested on the roof near the chimney, and as black as a sweep. He is undistined, without gene of beauty or of song. Tet there" is a certain strength of character that gives him some distinction. And though an Ish mael, he never appears dull or bored:• There are ,few housetops without their twdtteiitrgs,• and in the season nests with up to half a dozen speck- led hopes. We cannot, surely, grudge them this joy of living. I confess I love to hear him. With a Tittle per- suasion I might even become Devil's advocate.

Almost this entire trade is carried on with the United States, the whole export of pulpwood moving across the border to the Republic. The principal Stein in raw log export, outside of pulpwood, is cedar logs which move in heaviest quantity to the United States and in smaller volume to Japan; --The United tates• is likewise the heaviest importer of hardwood logs which go in smaller quantities to the United Kingdom, France and other countries, and of pine logs, spruce loge, and other logs, for which other customers are the United Kingdom and Japan. Though this export of unm'anufee- -cured timber, which has been mare or less static for some time, does not loons up impressively against Canada's voluminous and stad'ily growing trade in manufactured forest products, there are certain benefits which would be retained by domestic manufacture which are lost to the• Dominion. 141111 workers follow the logs and the reten- tion of complete manufacture which is sought for „the Dominion at the pre- sent' time.would mean at -least some additionalindustrial employment with the many other benefits which inevit- ably follow in its wake.

I 47 SbIEKIPir The duckmole is shown in the upper sketch and the spiny ant -eater in the ower one.' Both these animals represent survivals of the most primitive sort of mammals. Secrets of Science. 13y ,David Dietz., While the -gigantic reptiles, the di- nosaurs, ruled the earth, the first mem- mals made their appeoauce• There was a small reptile in those days which is now extittet. Scientists call it the dog -toothed reptile or Cyno- dont. I -ie. was the ancestor- of the maminals. The first °mammals -were Insignifi- cant: They were nolarger than rats or mice. _ It is interesting to compare the jaw of a fossil mammal of the Age of Rep- tiles with the tooth of one of the big dinosaurs. The reptile tooth is about 20- times larger than a mammal's whole jaw. -But the reptiles have dfsappeared except for the crocodile, the turtle, the snake and tiny forms like the little lizards, Mammals -have taken their place of ascbndency upon the earth. The mammal differs from the rep- tile in many respects. FIrst of all, the mammal is warm-blooded. The reptile is cold-blooded, or to state the case more accurately,the temperature of hie, blood varies' with the tempera- ture of his surroundings. The temperature of the 'mammal's blood is constant and as a rule higher than his surroundings. A temperature of 100 degrees "Fahrenheit is about the average. The mammal also has other import ant differences from the reptile. It has a 'covering of hair. This rep -re cents a long process of evolution,'the hair having evolved from the reptile's scales. The mammal does not lay eggs, but. the young are born fully formed. The female feeds its young from its breasts or mammary glands. 1 The transition from reptile to mam- mal was gradual one, and just as we find lung -fishes to -day which .give us a hint as to the evolution from fish to amphibian, we find three mammals to - 1 day which are midway between rep- tiles and the true mamtuels. 1. They are the duckmole, the spiny ant -eater and a second type of ant- eater. All three are found in Aus- traliai. All three lay eggs, as do the reptiles, from which the young are hatched. The duckmole` is a small fur -covered animal about a foot and a half long. it has jaws flattened like the bill of a duck a:nd webbed fore -feet. The ant -eaters have. long, narrow, tube-like snouts and long, sticky tongues with which they catoh and pick up ants. - - A grade, higher than thes-e queer animals are the so-called ; inarsupials, such as the kangaroo. In these cases the young are„born exceptionally weak and helpless "a-nd carried- about after 'birth by the mother in a sort of pouch in her skin.

The Health of School Children. The month of September hoe certain logical chums to prominence, it is the first month of autumn; it le the tran- sition Period between Summer, with all its joyous• -outdoor activities, and Fla1i with its evidence of w1nbere ap- proach! it is the harvest month; end is often depicted as it period of thanks- giving, It has, however, one other claim to everlasting proandmence, 11 iS the month with which is assooiated the return of ohildsen'to school. Play is a natural child activity, school is a simile for work, long confining hours and prosy books. The imeortance of education has long been realized, by all individuals and agencies. Many plans have been conceived aa to snow it may be acquired and distributed. A generation ago few if any of these dealt with anything but the question of intellectual attain- ment; all now realize the fundamental dmrpo•rtance of the present health and the continued well-being, of the child at school,; The Impactor, Principal and teacher are equally interested with the school doctor, dentist or nurse, in the physi- cal condition of the boy er girls The interest of the parent is taken for granted. The school health e,uthorities manifest their interest by attempting to safeguard the child from contagious disease, by supplying school buildings with modern sanitary equipment, by the regular inspection by the teacher and nurse, and the examination -by"the physician and dentist. Are parents realizing their responsibilities? Has advantage been taken of the oppor- tunities during the summer vacation, to have the children immunized against diptheria or scarlet fever? Have they been vaccinated against smallpox? Have the physical defects noted by the school or family physician been correoted? Has the advice of the school dentist been followed? Frankly, are yen sending your child- ren back to school, physically equip- ped to profit by the educational ad vanteges available, or are you one of the comparatively small group, who ignore such worthwhile advice and are resting in a false sense of health se- curity? The health of the school-age child le the most important question hat faces either teacher or parent.

Such a vision of a familiar Rower in on unexpected place is a window into the feelings of William Carey', when ens day in his garden in India he found little English claisy. Some friend in England had sent Carey a consignment of sends from home. Not wishing to lose any part of the gift, he shook the bag's remnant seeds over a patch of earth in a shady place. There it was that some time later he found his daisy. "I know not," be wrote, "that I; aver enjoyed since leaving Europe .a simple pleasure so exquisite as that sight aii'ordecr me; not having seen one for thirty years." Is there not always a friendly daisy somewhere in the barren dunes? Is there not always a bit of hopeful moss, growing in the desert? Are not swatches of horse anisic heard in most unlikely places?
