On January 1, 1925, Can- adians owned 597,278 cars. It will be a remarkable fact if, in a, few years' time, the touring of Can- adians within the boundaries of the Dominion does not,succeed in sweep- ing away a great deal of the diver- gence of outlook as between various parts of the Dominion which in past years was the natural outcome of lack of outlook and mutual appreciation of of acquaintanceship. ture is not to be measured in dollars and cents, but it bids fair to exert a priceless influence upon Canadian unity. It has long been a byword that Can- ada is a "difficult country to govern." The territory of the Dominion is not only far-flung but it is naturally bro- ken into sections which differ as radi- cally from each other in economic op- portunities as in physical character and location, How to unify these sec- tions how to get some real sympathy FLIMERICKS slag -de Y A very tali, spotted (thc tall= animal) Tried often to kiss a young But they couldn't 'Till a knot in his (betweca head and body) Brought his height down to almost on .

Two standard domestic hot water furnaces have been in operation, night and day, for over one and a half years at the Fuel Testing laboratories of the Dept. of Mines, determining the relative heating values of the various domestic fuels available in Eastern Candaa. This is in accordance with the campaign of the Dominion Fuel Board, in an effort to improve the situation in the domestic fuel markets of the Central Provinces by -encouraging the ase of various available substitute fuels. These furnaces, during tests, are constantly under the supervision of competent engineers and are fitted up to approximate, as closely as possible, actual operating conditions in house heating. In this was, not only are L'ie heating qualities of the various fuels accurately compared, but the best op- erating conditions, such as draft re- quirements, depth cf fuel on grates and frequency of firing are deterrain- cd for each fuel. The fuels under test include all the domestic fuels available for consumption in Eastern Canada and the tests will indicate the methods that must be employed to obtain the best results. - These experiments are succeasi:uiy determining the methods and condi- tions whereby the various fuels avail- ab:e can be mod) f fflciently utilizes.

Bears, Bays 'Sir Hiram S. Maxim :in My Life, do not make safe pets, If you step on a dog's foot, the dog has brains enough to know that it is an accident and actually expects you to pet and pity hint for your blunder, which no doubt you will do. But if you step en a bear's foot, the bear will not stop to reason. He will retaliate by taking about a pound of steak out. of the.calf of your lag. My uncle, Hiram Stevens,. after whom I was named, captured a small cub and' brought it up as a pet. It would eat almost anything and about as much of it as a pig, so it soon at- tained considerable size and had very peculiar ways of showing its affection. At that time my uncle was paying itis respects to the young lady who after- ward became his wife, and sbo object- ed very strongly to the bear. The next Sunday night, therefore, my uncle locked the bear securely in the woodshed, but he had not been very long with his ladylove when the front door was burst in and the bear rushed in an'd landedin his lap. That brought matters to a crisis; the young lady deliver..d her ultimatum, --he must. either break of; the engagement • or kill the bean—and so the interesting pet was sacrificed on the altar of Cupid the next day.
