The Herald, 1907-09-27, Page 2THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY FOR 1907. We have just received from the pub- shers, A. McKim, Limited; of Montreal Hand Toronto, a copy of the 1907 edition 40$ the Canadian Newspaper Directory. This is the fourth edition of this valu- able work, which is filling a very real steed in Canada, and deserves a place on the • desk of every business man, It is the only Newspaper Directory published in Canada that has gone beyond a first edition, and it has now become the standard work of reference for all in- formation about newspapers. n not only lists and describes fully every periodical in the country, giving fall particulars, but it supplies, as well, s4 comprehensive Gazetteer of the Domin- ion. Comparing this edition with former ones, we note a large increase in the ktumber of papers which have supplied detailed statements of circulation sup- ported by affidavit and thereby received the Star of Honor. This is as it should be, and helps to put newspaper advertis- ing on a more business -like basis, The rapid growth of the new western pro- vinces is very apparent, for they are credited with fully twice as many papers as in 1905. The McKim Advertising Agency, pub- lisher of this work, has been formed into et f£mited company, capitalized at $200,- &100, to be known as A. McKim, I'.i,nited, with headquarters at Montreal, e, branch office in Toronto, and repro- trantatives in New York, and London; Eng. This change has been made to facilitate the handling of their steadily- inereasing business. Ever since this business was founded by Anson McKim, more than twenty gears ago, the McKim Agency has stood high in favor with both publisher and advertiser. Their methods are right up- to-date —enterprising, progressive and systematic to a degree. The firm has won a.cz enviable reputa- tion for fair dealing and prompt pay- ments, and is undoubtedly at the head -of the profession in this country. Ancient and Modern Alchemists. Berthelot, a noted French scient- ist who is dead of grief over his wife's death, claimed to be on -the point of dis- covering the secrets of the old alohem- lets. Did 'the'old alchemists know things =known to modern alchemists? Is not much of the talk of their knowledge and mysterious performances akin to witch tales? The aged alchemist in skull cap and dressing gown, among his retorts and crucibles is a familiar figure in ro- mance and he is always about to do something very wonderful, but if he ever did there is no proof of it.—eNash- ville, Tenn., American.

One by one thls country Is equipping itself with a group of the greatest observatorloa la the world. On the summit of Mount Wil- son, a peak in southern Ca.l1forniai, is a so- lar observatory which will outclass any Oth- er designed for that ,purpose, It is under the patronage of the Carnegie Institute at Washington. The lntentton is to wend at least $300,000 upon its a Lun a ment. Mount Wilson was selected as the site because the ani onpherk, there was clear and tranquil for a greater number of days than at any other place tested. Ope of the most important subjects of re- search wi11 be the apparent decrease in beat radiation from the sun in the last few years. Another problem will be that undertaken by Prof, E, E. Barnard,. who is not satisfied with the theory of the nebular origin of the earth and who will try to determine how much faith can be 'put In the nebular hypoth- esis. The popular opinion is that the astronomer Pres tshishivs ision point dblanktlyacrosse sun and the chasm of millions of miles. Instead, says a writ- er in the 01110 Magazinethe errant sun rays are lassoed by a coslestat—a great cir- cular mirror driven by clockwork in such a manner that it throws its light into an- other mirror above, and this lu turn sends the long, concentrated beam far into the in- terior of the telescope house. The two mirrors move in automatic ad- justment to each other, so that the solar beams may be shot into the building, no matter In what ,portion of the sky the sun may be situated. At the further end of the building the reflected sunbeam strikes a concave mirror which catches the light, and flashing it back toward the opening whence it first entred recuses it into a perfect image of the sun. The greatest reflecting telescope in the world is to be the climax of the equipment of this observatory. A;>huge lens fire feet in diameter, eight inches thick and weigh- ing a full ton is :being perfected at the Mount Wilson laboratory in Pasadena. To such an exact nicety must its surface be ground and polished it will require three years to complete it ready for mounting. The glass in the rouge costs $1 a pound. With great patience and the highest mechan- ical skill it is being fitted for its moment- ous work. When completed it 'will be transported by an auto truck up the narrow trail to the observatory and there Will be mounted under a rotating dome fifty feet in diameter. With this monster eye it will be possible to penetrate further into the depths of space than by any instrument ever before de- signed by man. Thousands of tourists tram: all parts of the word visit this observatory' every year. So great is the popular interest in the work there it has been decided to establish a mu- seum of astronomical photographs in con- nection with the observatory, to be open to the public at all times. Mob vs. Society. (Montreal Gazette) It is a eerious thing when peaceable .men, because of their color, are lawlessly assailed. It may be a costly thing when the victims of mob wrath are subjects of':a government which has both the power ithd the will to protect thorn. The nationality, of the viotima is, however, a matter of no iihportaaee. The law of the land has been outraged. Its power should be vindicated, and this not for the sake of the yellow strangers more than for that of the white resideat A mob that is permitted to persecute one class of the people will soon think it oa11 `,tyrannize over any class. and will become a public danger that only the shedding :',ofr'i!lood may check.

For some weeks past the aesthetic soul of Epping has been aroused to fury by a threatened invasion of the National Telephone Company. It was felt that for stranger to emerge from the d1')-acl Imitated glades of the forest upon a vista atf telephone poles would prove as disen- chanting as if the Venus of Hilo sud- denly excip.imed "13y Jove!" A oompro- ttiise has now been effected by which only five poles are to be erected and these will be relegated to an obscurity where they cannot spoil the old world charm of the Iittle town. "On Pragmatis- tic principles," as Prof. James would say, there seems no reason why telephone and telegraph poles should remainun- pieturesque when they might so easily be wreathed with climbing roses or creep- ers.

To regret a wrong is g ; to stop to think of it too lona, an 'to plunge into remorse, is to lose the poorer of reparation.—Charles Wagner. Sobering, almost; alarming, to some of us is the thourilt of Christ as Judge. On the other hard, what judgment could be kinder or fairer ?: We are to face the judgment seat, but let us never forget that it is thA judgment seat of Christ,— the hrist—the Christ who i knows man, who sees and syznpatb e r with every individual, who, having himself suffered, being tempted, is 1" snared to make allowance for human tirmities, who judges us not so much by what we are as by what lWoen wBridgant amnti an, strive to be.—Howard Al - If to be true in. heart and just in act are the first dualities necessary for the elevation of humanity, if without them all else is worthless, intellectual culture cannot give what intellectual culture does not require or imply. You cultivate the plant which has already life; you will waste your labor in cultivating a stone. The moral life is the counterpart of the natural—alike mysterious in its origin, and alike visible only in its ef- feots.—J. A. Froude. The Decay of Glass. Few visitors to the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art in New York are aware, while 'admiring the iridescence of the glass bottles, plates and other ancient articles of ornament . arid use discovered in Cyprus, that the prismatic hues dis- played are a result of the decay of the glass. When disintegration sets in, the sub- stance of the glass splits into exceeding- ly thin laminae which, as the straight traverses them, gives rise to a splendid play of ,colors. Like forest leaves, these delicate glasses signalize their approaching disso- lution by becoming more beautiful. 0 Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia. Carefully Concealed.

Campbell, Dominion Superintendent of Forestry, at 40,000,000 square acres, or 12,500 square miles of pine, and 120,000 acres, or 187,- 500 square miles of spruce. The forest area of New Brunswick, according to the same authority, is calculated at 7,500,000 acres, or 11,720 square miles of mostly spruce lumber. In Nova Scotia the forest area is placed at 5,000,000 acres, or 7,812 square miles. Canada has therefore, in' chiding the rest of the country unmen- tioued, a total forest area of 500,000,000 acres. At 3,000 feet to the acre, which is a low average, there are 1,500,000,000,000 feet. In Canada the forest area is most- ly situated on rooky elevations. BETTER THAN SPAM(III.
