When the Fathers btlllt up the 147 sections of the British North America Act, sixty years ago, they.laid the fouuda.tious of the first federa- tion within the I3ritieh Empire. Never before had the federal principle and the British Constitution been linked together and there was some doubt as to whether they would )vont in union, But Canadians have made them work, and now tho two machines run as one.

Says Dean Stewart: "Strenous efforts would have been necessary to secure more than a few pounds of this substance, and then only at exorbitant prices of $6.50 to 330 per pound. Prior to January, 1922, furfurol could he obtained only in a few -pound lots in a glass con- tainer, even at the high price quoted. In 1326 the low price of 15 cents per Mind was based on 50 to 60 -thousand - pound lots in tank carat This brief Price 'history indicates the marked de- velopment of this farm product in the brief space for four years. "Furfurol is a substance wbich penetrates wood with remarkable ease. In the presence of air it dark- ens ark ens and resinities. It is an anti- septic similar in nature to carbolic acid. It is, therefore, of. groat value :as a germicide and fungicide in the dressing of wounds of valuable trees. It is also used as a substance to flavor tobacco. Owing to its solvent action, high power of penetration and low toxicity it is used as a solvent for shoe leather, dyes and leather dressings. It is an excellent solvent for nitro- cellulose, and may ilnd abundant use in the lacquer industry, "Being an. aldehyde, it :is readily converted into numerous other chemi- cal compounds having great value and use in industry, such as the produc- tion of perfumes, solvents and ac- eelorators in the production of types of rubber goods.
