Not every lover of "Ivanhoe" knows
that many of the stirring incidents in
that romance take place in the court-
yard of Temple Newsam. Sir Walter
Scott visited the historic Jacobean
mansion and was so impressed with
its perfect environment for a story
that he took Temple Newsom for.'. the
locale of the chief scenes of "Ivan-
hoe," the name becoming "Temples

The mansion fitted in exactly be-
cause it received its real name from
the fact that it had originally been the

250,000 Miles of Cables.
It was not until ten years had
elapsed that further efforts were made
to link England and America by cable,
the work being carried' out by the
Great Eastern. Over athousand miles
of cable were laid; then a snap oc-
curred, all attempts at picking up the
lost cable being futile. • Subsequently
another cable was laid, the older cable
afterwards being located and spliced.
By the end of the seventies four
cables were operating between the
two countries, the total length of cable
in use at the present time being over
250,000 miles.
The network of -cables linking up
the Continents is now so complicated
that ships are constantly employed in
surveying the different systems, lo-
cating faults and remedying them.
Each ship carries a \staff of electri-
cians and telegraphists, and their
voyages occupy from two months to a
year or nmo'e.
One of the commonest causes of
damage to cables is corrosion, brought
about by the action of the sea. Chaf-
ing is another potent cause of trouble,

The woman at home, deep in house:

hurried meals, broken rest and much
indoor living tend to weaken her. No

For the Canadian Mother.
It is a matter of interest to note
the relative esteem : in which Cana-
dians hold increase of Canadian popu-
lation - by immigration and increase
by natural processes. Although every-
.where
very•where lip service is given to the
principle of healthy increase of Ca-
nadian population by natural pro-
cesses we find, if we "consider our
position frankly and from a detached
viewpoint, that we are actually bend-
ing more effort to attract outsiders
to our country than to the more im-
portant duty of making it possible
for our own Canadian families to in-
crease in healthy normality. Federal
appropriations for the promotion of
immigration projects are a great' deal
larger than the combined -provincial
appropriations for the conservation
of health—a fact, for which no one
but the people of Canada -themselves
are to blame.
Important as our immigration prob-
lems are, it is undoubtedly more im-
j?ortant that our problems of maternal
and infant welfare be given full, i
indisposed through weakness, head -m -
mediate, and continuous attention. In
the first place, we find that our ma-
ternal death rate, although lower than
that of the United States, is higher
than that of England and'''sWales,
higher than that of Norway,. ;Higher
than that of a good number of .coun-
ires which have 'given- - serious
thought to the welfare of thel ' citi-
zen .mothers. Our Canadian maternal
deaths , for 1922 were more in num-
ber, thaa
um-ber•,than similar deaths for 1921. And
the, teagic, yet hopeful, feature of the
situation is that a large percentage
'of these deaths—a great deal more
than half of them—were preventible.
'Scientific knowledge has progressed to
an' advanced point, so that it is now
possible to say, "If men and women
Are given the information easily
available, and if there is careful super-
vision during pregnancy, and proper
attention during and after delivery,
the maternal death rate of any coun-
try will diminish almost to the van-
ishing point."
Our problem in this generation,
then;••has become one of disseminating
knowledge, of insisting on the observ-
ance of the simple yet vital rules of
hygiene, and of providing adequate
care ofthe expectant mother and of
the: mother who has already given
birth to a child. If there were to
develop a strong popular demand that
these necessary conditions be met, we
should soon discover that our Provin-
cial Departments of Health could ex-
tend their activities so as to reach
each niost ignorant and helpless par-
ent in our crowded cities, and each
most remote and fearful mother in
isolated rural districts:

A Broken Bowl.
One of the niost extraordinary cases
of what niay be called an accidental
invention is that of the lifeboat. A
man named Wouldhave was out walk-
ing 0110 day when he was asked by an
old woman to help her lift tt can 91
water which she had filled by means
of a broken wooden bowl.
The bowl was floating on the sur-
face of the water, and as he talked to
the woman, Wouldhave turned it over
with his finger. It immediately right-
ed itself. Amused by its antics, he re-
peated the performance; then it
struck him that he had made a won-
derful discovery. The result of his
thence meeting was the self-righting
lifeboat, which was designed by him
on the lines of the wooden bowl.
What he had discovered was that
anything made of floating material and
shaped like one half of a basin could
float only with its convex surfaoe
downwards. A boat made on these
lines cannot remain upside down for
more than an instant when it turn-
ed over by a heavy sea,

an alarm clock was ;bought and pre-
sented to the girl, with the words:
"You know, Mary, that 'I require the,

so I have bought you this alarm Clock."'.
Mary examined it, and said

series of booklets for mothers and
fathers is prepared for distribution in
this department, and these publiaa•
tions have been sent to 'thousands of
homes, •
But the provinces leave a heavier
responsibility in the natter of hearth.
What are some of the plans they are
following for the reduction of ma:.
ternal deaths?
Some are increasing the numbers
of their `public health nurses. Others
are establishing small hospitals in
various localities where mothers may
receive adequate care; Saskatchewan
is training nursing housekeepers who
will enter rural homes and take effi-
cient charge of the whole family While
the mother regains her strength, The
Red Cross and the Victorian Order
of Nurses are saving the life and
health of many mothere annually.
These are good beginnings.
But yet we are losing about five
mothers out of every thousandwho
give birth to a child, and for no rea
son at all except that our mothers
have not been taught to -observe
simple health rules, or they have not
received proper care before, during
and after delivery. The remedy lies
in our own hands, It is to be found
in a demand for increased appropria-
tions for health work by provincial
governments and a determination to
keep on extending government and
voluntary maternity welfare schemes
until every family in Canada is within
reach of proper help. ,
Norway has reduced her maternal
mortality from 8 per 1,000 to 2.3 per
1,000. Canada can reduce her ma-
ternal mortality from 5 per 1,000 to
2 per 1,000 if Canadians insist on it.
