It may be safely conjectured .that the' Tourist has foundered, and that tiro other occupant of the craft, is also dead, The man had a life -preserver on, and, in the opinion of Coroner Dr. A. H.

The books were brought down front their dusty shelves and in due time the name of the ancestor was found. Opposite his name was the remark: "Absconded without paying his rates.' • England Guards Secret of New Giant Airship London. -The .utmost secrecy is be- ing maintained in banding England's giant airship, the R-101, for England- Tndia-Australia service. Armed guards keep all visitors away from the han- gars and each one of the 350 persons employed in its construction is sworn to secrecy. Various groups of work- ers are strictly confined to separate parts of the erection work and not more than half a dozen persons know anything about the complete plates for the airship, which it is hoped will gain for Great Britain the supremacy of the air.

Goat raising has becomean impor- tant branch of agriculture in British Columbia, according to the Natural Resources Intelligence Service, Dept, of the Interior at Ottawa. Goat milk finds a ready market at from 15 to 25 cents per quart in Vancouver and Victoria and the yield runs as high as one gallon daily per animal, al- though the usual quantity . is front three to six pints. The Nubian goat is said to yield as much as from 3 to 4 quarts per day of superior milk. This milk is highly recommended by doc- tors for feeding babies and invalids. Butter and cheese made from it are highly prized by those who have learned to use these products. The skins of goats are utilized for gloves and in the production of leathers of fine texture and high value used in bookbinding, etc. Goats are easily cared for and many of the B.C. herds are •atteatded largely by children. The animals are milked morning- and orningand evening the same as cows. Good feed and properly balanced rations are just as necessary forthe milldng doe as with the dairy cow. One and one- half to two pounds of grain and meal daily are recommended by Mr. A. A. McMillan of the Dominion Experi- mental Farm who is also authority for the statement that there is good money selling goats' milk even es low as ten cents a quart, at which price its valu- able` digestive qualities and richness would ensure it an inexhaustible mar- ket. Goats have hitherto been confined to the Old World, being especially num- erous in the mountain sections of Eur- ope and Asia. Both sheep and goats are typical mountain animals, but goats will thrive wherever there are green shoots and shrubbery. They do net, like sheep, confine themselves to grass The domestic goat is represented by many sub -varieties which differ in the length of the hair, in color and in•the shape of the horns. In the short- haired class (the English, goat) the coat is thick and close, with an under- growth of woolly character, Both sexes are horned, but in the made the horns are more developed. The color is either white, gray, fawn or black. The long-haired (or Irish) goat it more frequently swarthy red, although occasionally white or pied. The horns are large, corrugated, and pointed, and rise close together in parallel lines. The coatis shaggy and the head large and ugly. The Angora and the Kash- mir goats are often confused but are in reality distinct. Both yield hair of beautifully silky texture, and both carry a second, quality of coat which resembles wool. In the Angora goat the woolly portion of the coat is outside the hairy covering, but in the Ka:h• ntir goat the wool is next the skin, The Nubian goat carries short, black, twisted horns, the ears are pendulous, the legs long, and the coat of the fe- male is extremely short. The Maltese goat is generally hornless, and is cream -colored, The Syrian goat has very long ears and very long hair, and its horns are erect and spiral, The commercial success of the goat herds in British Columbia not only points to similar possibi:2ties in other Canadian provinces, in al: of which there is little doubt but that the goat would make a splendid revenue pro- ducer and family asset, but at the sante themthere is available the splen- did cline -Weed and registered stock of the B.C. herds and the experience in breeding and nfiarketing which B.C, owners have Bono through with such conspicuous success. 34c; cooked hams 47 to 48c; smoked rolls, 28 to 80c; breakfast bacon, 85 to 400; backs, boneless, 37 to 45c.

Canada's Mineral Prosperity. Victoria, B.C.--"Conditions .in the mining industry of Canada are better throughout the whole country than I have ever known them in my time," said Charles Camse;l, Canadian De- puty Minister of Mines, and chief execubive officer of the Canadian' Gov- ernment in mining matters, who has arrived here after a coaet-to-coast tour. "The 'coal industry is free of labor troubles. Production in the metalliferous amines pro-mises• to be the greatest on record this year. Since. about 1900 marproductionhas been steadily increasing at the average rate of 56,500,000 aninunlly, and it is prob- able that the increase this year will be even greater."
