her from that troublesome nephew.
She was in a great rage when she
read it. She pushed back her dainty,
untested repast, which had been serv-
ed in the privacy of her own room,
and rang her bell violently.
"Present my compliments to Lieu-
tenant De Vere, and ask him to come
to me for ten minutes,"„ she said
sharply, to the servant who answered
the summons.
He came immediately, full of won-
der at this abrupt summons, and
found her pacing up and down the
floor in a great rage which she did
not take any pains to conceal.
"Did you know of any reason Lord
Lancaster; could, have for going up
to London this morning?" she ` asked
him, after they had gone through the
preliminaries of _a hasty good -morn-

"No," he replied, p azing at her
in surprise.
"Well, he 'has gone—did you know
that?" she demanded.,
"Yes, I heard from his gr. oem that
he went at daylight this morning,'"
he replied.
"Here is a note he left for me," she
said, angrily. "He says he has been
suddenly called away by urgent busi-

more, and wishes me to present ex-

"I am very sorry he had to go,"
said the lieutenant.
"But -do you believe that he really

36TH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE HIGH COURT
CANADIAN ORDER OF ..FORESTERS
Over Five Hundred Delegates In'
Attendance. "
The 36th Annual Meeting of the
Canadian Order of Foresters convened
on Tuesday afternoon, the 15th of
June, in the City of St. Catharines, at
2 p.m. Delega+es were in attendance
time since its inception.
The following' officers of High Court
were present at the opening session:
J. A. Stewart, High Chief Ranger,
Perth, Ont.; J. A. A. Brodeur, High
Vice -Chief Ranger, Montreal, . Que.;
Alf.' P. van. Someren, High Secretary,

amounted to $18,723.10, and after the
payment of 7,319 sick and funeral
benefit claims, amounting. to $188,-
430.35, the amount standing at the
credit of this fund was $403,284.77;
the same fund at the present time
standing at $409,583.63.
The General Fund is also in a
satisfactory condition. • Many special
charges, incident to thewar, including
donations to National and -Patriotic'
Funds, and the arrangement for
carrying members on overseas service,
hereafter referred to, have been
arranged as anticipated without any
inconvenience to this fund.
In respect to membership also sub-
stantial -progress was made, the mem-
bership at the end of the year 1914
standing at 91,557.
Besides the ordinary benefits from
its Life Insurance and Sick and
Funeral Benefit Departments, special
provision is made, under the constitu-
tion of the Order, for assistance to
those . of its members suffering from
tubercular trouble of any kind. A
special grant., is made extending over
a period of six months, with a view
to assisting to defray the, cost of
'treatment in. any of a number of sani-
taria in Canada, making a specialty
of such cases, and the membership is
urged to take advantage of such
treatment in the incipient 'stages of
the malady.

Types `of Fakm Wells.
The farm 'well, especially a shalloW
dug well, shoulcl'be located somewhat
above the batns, buildings yards and
stock pens, or at least in such a posi-
tion that the surface drainage front
all possible sources of apierial and
vegetable contamination is away'
from the well. The location should
also be as far removed from these
sources as convenience will permit,
writes Mr. R. W. Trullinger,
Properly to safeguard wells against
outside contamination, • first, all
sources of contamination should be
removed as far as possible. If local
conditions and prices will permit, it
is a good idea to provide impervious
floors . with . watertight drains for
farm buildings and stock pens. Un-
der the same conditions concrete man-
ure pits might well be provided not
only to prevent the liquid manure
from polluting the neighboring soil,
but to save the manure. No garbage,
manure or rubbish should be dumped
into sinks orbasins in the immediate
neighborhood and these should be
fenced off and kept free from pollut-
ing matter. The house ' should be
provided with some method of sew-
age disposal, while slops and garbage
from the kitchen should b,e put intti
tightly covered garbage cans and dis-
posed of by burying in the fields�,
burning or feeding to pigs. The use
of privy vaults and leaching or over-
flowingcesspools should be absolute-
ly avoided, since they are likely to be
sources of the worst contamination.'
Every farmer should become• ace
quainted . with the various types
of wells and the best methods'
of protection, and the well should be
so protected as to exclude filth front
alle those sources of contamination
which it has been impossible to rd.
move or have been overlooked...
In the selection, location and -sink-
ing of a well, it is always a good idea
to consider frermanence in addition to
safety. This will depend, on the kind -
of well used, and one should beeace
quainted with all types and methods
of sinking. The well should: penetrate
to levels below that of • the ground-
water, surface in the drYest seasons.
Dug wells are generally circular ex-
cavations three to six feet in diame-
ter. They are adapted to localities
where the water is near the surface,
especially where it occurs in , clayey
material andrequires extensive space
for its conservation.
Bored wells are wells •bored with
various types of augurs from two
inches to three feet in diameter, rota-
ted or lifted by hand or' horsepower. -
They are usually lined •with cement
or tile sections with 'cemented joints
and: often with iron tubing. , They
are adapted to localities where the
water is at medium depths and to
materials similar to those iii which
open wells are sunk. Punched wells
are small holes usually less than six
'inches in diameter sunk by hand or
horsepovyer, by dropping a steel cylin-
der slit at the `side so as to haul and,
lift material by its spring. They are
adapted to soils in which water oc-
curs within 50 feet of the surface,
but not at; much greater depths.
These 'wells should be lined 'with tile,
iron tubing or sheetiron casing. Driv-
en wells are sunk by driving down-
ward small iron tubes, usually 1i/¢
to 4 inches in diameterand provided
with point . and screen. They are
especially adapted' for use in sand
and similar porous materials carry-
ing considerable water at slight
depths and .are particularly desirable
where. the, upper .soil is likely to be
polluted.
FIRST TORPEDOES USED.
Whitehead Adopted Idea of Austrian,
and Then Navy Used It.
'The first navy to use torpedoes
was the Austrian. Although , the
actual inventor of the modern weap-
on, Robert Whitehead, was an Eng-
lishman, he originally got the idea
from an officer in the Austrian navy.
The Austrian's idea was to construct
an ordinary sort of clockwork boat,
and render it dangerous by loading
the front of the vessel with a charge
of some explosive. He mentioned
the idea to Whitehead, - who was
then living in Austria, and he, seeing
the vast possibilities of the idea, at
once set to work to improve it. At
the end of two years or so he had
produced a rough sort of torpedo, on
the lines of the modern one. This
first weapon did not work properly,
and after running a little distance,'
sank. ' At hist, however, workable
ones were produced, and Whitehead
sold thein to the Austrian navy, Since
then, of course, other navies have
adopted the torpedo, andhis name
has become famous.
