Rouen Is Unique Wlth Rouen we must Start our .sur. Vey of Norrnaildy, for Rouen is not only the anelent eapitai of th.e prop• thee, but it is the trench town whleb CPUtalue the most marvellous tollee- tion of ogival arohiteet.ure and the most exqulsite examples of Rennaie- ance construction, It Is a compact city, and its chief sights are to be found in a small square area round the eatheflraal, , The plan is simple, and, in .spite of the rich end varied spectacle that Rouen furnishes, a glimpse of it can be obtained in a few hours. Its steeples rise high into the air, bat alt of then] are overtopped by the cathedral. One can conaemplate this incredible group of buildings from .the Cote Sainte -Catherine or from the height. of 13onsecours. 'fhere at one's feet is the winding river, in a series of deep loops its it swells to the sea, with the recasts of greatships by the transporter bridge, succeeded by older' bridges which lead to the Industrial suburbs, from whleb rise gigantic chimneys. There are the modern boulevards, clean and pleas- ant, and planted with sees. And there in the center is the old town, in which is concentrwted this mirac- ulous cluster of edifices, each cf them a gem polished by the centuries. Rouen is the Gothic queen of France, There are those who com- plain because it has grown into t town of one hundred and twenty-five thousand inhabitants, and has taken on, in parts, an aspect of brightness. and of animation. I do not so com- plain; Rouen remains unspoiled. Rouen preserves a civic pride, and, though It be true that certain monu- ments have disappearad, the best hate been preserved, and for perfec- tion and for elegance they are unex- celled. Piled by human hands, these stones, daringly disposed, have been soaked not only by the sun and the rain, but by the soul of Normandy, They are not ... pieces of a museum. They are alive to -day for all their venerable age. They are stones which speak—or, rather, sing. They remind us of a time when men worked with faith and with devotion, and when the anonymous artisan was an artist. Rouen is unique: if one has not seen Rouen one has missed one of the most significant sights that France has to offer, There are madly quaint and narrow streets with wood- en facades and shops which, lighted as they are by electricity, still seem to belong to the Middle Ages.—From "Normandy," by Sisley Huddleston. Lacquered Islands Caribbean waters are never just plain sea-color—nor are they ever spread with one color only. The silken sheen of those seas is always a gorgeously shot silk -a watered silk—striped and ringed and zig-zag- ged with orange, grass -green, lemon - yellow, plum -purple. The colors. of sea and sky do not wait for sunset there, or conform to the probabilities. And these endless, jewelled surfaces are studded with polished platinum islands fringed with jade palms. I forget how many Bahamas there are—something .like' seven hundred, I believe. Every Bahama gazes out with delight upon its bright brothers, large and small, crowded exquisitely upon Its borizoh. It is a sort of Mu- tual Benefit Society of Islands—"I'll decorate your skyline if you'll deco- rate 'mine...." Even a little button of an islan.1 can take its place in the brilliant little scheme, so long as it can lacquer its sands with silver and tvave a grove of thin, shock -headed palms. Every Bahama island is a potential treasure island. The pirates—who must have been men of excellent taste in islands—made the Bahaua group, their headquarters and are said to have• sown a crop of treasure that has not yet all been reaped. I have myself crawled down rough sea - weedy steps into several pirates' caves—steps that dip down abruptly between one bright shrub and an- other into a hole on the edge of the low coral cliffs, and lead into wide eaves that look out through natural Cliff windows on to the gorgeous sea. ---Stella Benson, in "Worlds Within Worlds,'' Retaliation Vancouver Province (Ind.

Not Nearly Enough to Go Round Ottawa Journal (Cons.) : Washing- ton ashington figures published recently esti- mate that $30,000,000 worth of Cana- dia nliquor entered the United States last year. This, ne doubt, will be seize dupon as an argument that if it weren't for Canadians, who are pan- dering to the appetites of poor thirsty Americans, there would be no trouble at 'all in enforcing the Volstead law, But it will be a stupid argument. Thirty million dollars worth of liquor at current prices represents, roughly, about eight million bottles, Consider- ing, therefore, that there are 120,000,- 000 people in the United States, how far would 8,000,000 bottles go—in a year? Actually, they would supply about two drinks in twelve months for each American adult. Upper Canada Centennial At the centennial celebrations of Upper Canada College in September there will be present the descend- ants of two of the men most con- cerned in -the first days of the Col-! lege. The Hon. Mick Colborne - Vivien is a grandson' oz. Sir John Col-" borne (later Lord Seaton) , who, when Lieutenant -Governor of Upper Can -1 ada, was active in founding the; School. Mr. Montague Harris, who is also coming from England for the' occasion, is a grandson of the first Principal. A further link with the past will be the unveiling of a tablet near the corner of King and Sinncoe Streets—tile site of the original Col- lege buildings in the days of Muddy York. Nancy, who was only 5, was ranch impressed when a large bunds of roses arrived for her mother. "Why did you get thee, Mother?" she asked. "You see, Nancy, seven years ago to• day daddy and mother were married," explained the mother. "Goodness! He was a long time sending them, wasn't he? You'd think heti have sent theta seven years ago." Man -Made ceps Rubies, Sapphires, Diamonds, and Pearls Can All Be Pro- d uced Ai-ti.cially---and are Just the Same as the Real Thing, Another step in the age -long search by mall for a process by whist be could manufacture gemsartificially has just been taken. Chemiete have succeeded in making sapphires and rubies from pure clay, Specially designed vessels are em• pioyed to melt the clay, drops of which are then cooled and turned into One gems, They are already being sold tar use in delicate grinding and cut- ting appliances, in watches, and fpr personal wear. It was thh'tysix years ago, in 1893, that man first made bis own version of that monarch of gems, the diamond, by chemistry, The celebrated French chemist, .Henri Meissen, then startled the world by producing diamonds ob- tained by beating iron, which contain- ed dissolved carbon, in electric fur- naces of his own invention, and sud- denly cooling tbe molten material. But in spite of the sensation, the diamonds were unmarketable. Tbey were minute and exceedingly costly. And to this day they have never been made cheaply enough to be a com- mercial proposition, There seems no reason, however, why some modifica- tion of this process, or perhaps an en- tirely new method, should not make the production of artificial diamonds as successful as that of rubies and sapphires, The well-known "paste" diamonds are in a different class. Tbey consist of a special kind of glass, but an enor- mous trade is done in them! Pearl Trade Secrets fn one direction man-made gems have had complete success. That is the pearl trade. It is well known that a pearl oyster deposits a secretion which eventually forms its pearl. It occurred to men to regularize this production by inserting a foreign body into living oysters, the deposits on which would make fine pearls, This process, operated chiefly by the Japanese, has proved very effei- ent, an da very large trade is done in than "cultured" pearls, as they are called. Other man-made pearls are made from mother-of-pearl, and hollow glass beads filled with wax and coated with a combination of gelatine and minute silvery scales from a Iittle freshwater fish called the bleak. But these, like "paste" diamonds, are mere Imitations and have not the same chemical con- stituents and properties as the orig- inals, as is the case with "cultured" pearls, electrically produced diamonds and the latest German rubies and sap- phires. At the same time, so far as looks are concerned, many of the artificial pearls sold to -day are so perfect that it ;is impossible to tell them from the real thing.
