A metal harder than a, steel knife. blade, stronger than the steel wires used for :deep-sea soundings, as rust - less as gold or platinum, and .as light as aluxninum not only would be a groat boon to modern industrial oivi- lizµtion, but is very likely to DO sup- plied, according to Dr. Zay Jefries, ,. president of the American Society for Steel Treatment. ' Even now, metallurgists can obtain almost any single property that they want by selecting some metal, says Popular Science Monthly. Chromium and the new alloy called carboiloy are very hard. Vanadium steel and other iron alloys are strong and tough, Tungsten and osmium are ex- ceedingly heavy. Aluminum, magne slum and the still newer beryllium are very light.. Nickel, tantalum and other metals are good resisters of cor- rosion, What Dr. Jeffries hopes for is to find one metal with all these characteristics or with most of them. Probably the future universal me- tal:, competent for nearly all metallic uses, will be an :alloy. The proper- ties of the pure metallic elements•are apt to be unchangeable. Mixtures and alloys mean possibilities of useful alteration. In the aluminum alloy, duralumin, the metas now so largely used for aircraft, small additions of copper and other metals make .the luminum, which in its pure state is quite soft, as hard and strong as many kind of steel. Meanwhile, the lightness of the aluminum is re- tained. FIRM FACTS. Oyster Produces About 400,000 Eggs Aruxiially. The tree - climbing crab is to be found in the West Indies, Being particularly fond of coconuts, he 'climbs the trees in search of them, and nips them off with his great pin- cer claws. Clysters are very nervous crea- tures; a sudden thunder -clap will kill many hundreds of them. It has been calculated that an oyster produces. about 400,000 eggs •annually, . of which only about 400 reach matur- ity. Limpets do not manufacture a kind of "glue" by which they stick; they adhere simply by the power of suc- tion. A limpet measuring two inches, or even less, can withstand a pull of more than 56 pounds. The herring spawns altogether some 30,000 eggs on an average, but barely one in 2,000 of these, lives to auy size. The sturgeon lays seven million eggs during its lifetime. The most speedy fish is the tarpon, which is able to move at the rate of 80 m.p.h. Sharks can manage 50 m.p.h. when the occasion demands it, while the humble trout ambles along at the rate of 30 m.p.h. The finnan haddock got its name because it was cured at the village of Findon, or Finnan, near Aberdeen, one of the chief poris in the king- dom, where it was first landed. First Sidewalks of Paris. It is just a hundred years ago since platforms along bridges, quays and streets for the convenience of pedestrians began to appear in Paris. It was then that they began to pro- vide sidewalks for the boulevards which were the chief arteries of the capital. It is an odd fact, but the name existed before the thing. It is to be found in Montaigne, with a very spe- cial sense, "To mount the sidewalk" was equivalent appearing on the scene. Voltaire and Carmontelle em- ploy the word in the sense of a road to fame and fortune. In 1829 the Parisian boulevards were first built of Volvic lava, thea, despite the high price of the material, of granite. But it was soon discovered that however hard the granite and lava might be, they were quickly worn down by the shoes of the walkers. It was then that they began to use asphalt, The first order of the prefect of the Seine. regulating the width of the sidewalks is dated April 16, 1846. A Drag on Indian. Children. i White children are brighter than Indian childrAn not so much because of their racial heredity as because of more favorable home and ,social con- 1 dations, is the conclusion of Dr. T. R.; Garth of the 'University of Denver, t says Science Service. The rnixture of white blood in an 1 Indian does little to raise his intel- lectual standard, Dr. Garth has found. Comparing the average in- ,i- ligence of full—blood Indians, he found that the average for the In- dian child is 70. The average for In- dians with one-quarter white blood mixed in their heredity is 74. Half bloods rate 76, and those :with -three- fourths white blood rate 77. The in- crease in intelligence attributable, to racial admixture isthus very slight. Education and opportunity, ,.on the other hand, mean a great deal to the Indian, as they mean a great deal to the Negro, Dr. Garth pointed out. Dentist—"Which tootle do you,want extracted?"

Yours fer a bigger an betther Canada, Timothy Hay, CANADA GYPSUM ANNUONCES CHANGE 1N COMPANY NAME New Name Is—Gypsum, Lime 'and Alabastine Canada Limited Paris, Ont., Jan.' 27th.—Mr. R. 1;. Hair, President of Canada Gypsum and Alabastine Limited announced to- day a change in the name of that Company to Gypsum, Lime and Ala- bastine Canada Limited. For some time past it has been felt that the name was not sufficiently indicative of the Company's compre- hensive field of operations, in as much as it contains no mention of Lime, which is a major _product of, Canada Gypsum and Alabastine, Limited, and becoming increasingly important each year. The directors, therefore, at a recent meeting decided to change the name of the Company so as to include this important phase of its operations, and the concern will be known in the fu- ture as Gypsum, Lime and.l.abastine Canada Limited. The Company operates extensive lime properties in Ontario and Que- bec, two of which, at Elora and Tees water, have been operated by it for many years. Last year, purchase was made of the Standard Lime Company Limited, Joliette, Quebec, which also operated large lime properties at St, Marc, Quebec, sand plants at St. Em- ilie, also sand, lime, brick and mixing plant at Montreal. The holdings of Christie, Henderson Co., Toronto. Lime Co., Beachville Lime and Stone Co., and D. Robertson Co., were also acquired, giving the Company modern plants in Ontario at Hespeler, Beach ville, Limehouse, Milton, Kelso and Puslinch,. In addition, the Company operates extensive limestone deposits at Mille Roches, Ontario. Gypsum, Linie and Alabastine Can- ada Limited are now the leading pro- dtrcer•s in Canada of high calcium lime magnesium lime, limestone and che- mical limestone. The great develop- ment of its business in the last few years has placed the Company in the position of being the second largest shipper- over Canadian railway lines. Br.".• LGRAVE The annual Vestry meeting of Trin- ity - ity Church was held in the Church; on the 22nd, Rev. L, V. 'Pocock, P. D., the recently appointed Rector, in the chair. "After devotional exercises, the minutes of the last meeting were read and the report of the wardens. A.Y.P,A Ladies' Guild and Sunday School, all of which showed a cash balance on hand. The Ladies' Guild had a' great year and •is to be very much ` commended for its activities The Church had a great loss in the death of its beloved Rector, the Rev. Arthur Shore, but Mr. Pocock has come to the parish a young man full of energy and a great desire to ad- vance the Master's cause and in a short address asked for the hearty co-operation of the members of the church. Mr. Thos. Brydges was ap- pointed by the Minister to be his Warden; Abner Nethery was re-el- ected People's Warden. ` Miss Sarah Cole was elected organist. The re- tiring Warden, Mr. Wm. McMurray, is delegate to the Synod, Wm. Bryd- ges, Clerk; C. Wade and R. Proctor, Auditors, Sidesinen are R. McMur- ray, R. Proctor, . J. Brydges and L. Montgomery. The selected Vestry is the Wardens; Lay delegate, Clerk, Charles Johnston and Henry John- son. The S, S, which was closed for some time is re -opened and the con- gregation start the year with an ear- nest desire and a determination with God's blessing to make this a truly good year in the best sense of the words. Value of Cut Straw There is satisfaction in the fact that cattle appear to relish the straw this winter. Good oat straw has a definite feed value ` besides being a filler. Many cattle wintered on tur- nips and straw have gone out in t'he spring in fairly good condition. When straw is cut or ground up and mixed with pulped roots, beet pulp, silage or even sprinkled with molasses, the live stock seem to consume more of it than when fed long. O.K. By Her.
