elf Mr Wm Hill of Benmiller, is mak-

E Fusing as a pastime lot, the soil being
tlrather light. The trees were one-year
seedlings, about six inohes high, half
of them white pine, the rest Scotch
pane. They have come along well this
asumnier, some having grown ten or
aptwelv7 inches. The trees are planted
spabout four feet apart each way and
Ocover about two cores. Mr Hill will,
irladd to the plantation if the prospects
'dtor success continue to be good. The
01idea is to produce timber, and in time
atche plot will probably have a very
feiconsulerable value.

NAVAL ARMOR PLATE.
A Suggestion That Rubber Might Be
Bettor Than Stool.,
If the present war has proved any-
thing it has proved the inadequacy of
the protection afforded by armor plate
covering the under water ritel parts
of a ship. The armor does not extend
sufficiently far below the water line to
assure complete protection when the
vessel is rolling, and in this respect a
suggestion put forward by a writer in
Popular Science Siftings might be
worth serious consideration by the na-
val experts.
Describing an experiment made in
1860 on the recoiling strength of rub-
ber, he says that a piece of rubber two
inches thick and a foot square was
placed under a steam hammer, and a
six inch round shot was placed on it.
The hammer fell with tremendous
force and broke the shot to pieces, the
rubber remaining ,elastic and unim-
paired.
Results from great explosive force
on rubber flooring and buffers liave
shown that beyond fusing by heat the
rubber remained uninjured, so ap-
parently rubber would make a ship
more shot proof than armor plate.—
Pearson's Weekly.
Groat Britain and Herrings.
In time of peace there is no port in
the worle ?tato which se Many herrings
are brought' as Great Yarmouth, and
owestaft .is not far behind. In 1912
he herrings landed at these two ports
:together numbered 1,361,000,000 and in
1913 1,362,000,000, and many went to
Grimsby also. In 1913 the return for
Grimsby was 75,487,000. Probably the
number brought into all ports In the
British isles was close on 3,000,000,000
herrings in twelve months.
Catch Melee and Make Money.
Nearly all the moleskins used for
making the fur garments that are now
so fashionable are imported from Eu-
rope. But the Scientific American re-
marks that American farmers may
turn the pest of moles into a source of
profit, as the United States biological
survey reports that the common moles
of our eastern states supply a skin ac-
tually superior to that of the foreign

A Double Postoffice.
Beebe Plain, Que., has what is
said to be the only double postof ice
in the 'world. The office is half in
Canada and half in the States, with
Beebe, Que., on one side and Beebe,
Vermont, on the other. An iron post
in the middle of the front porch
marks the international boundary
line. Aside from its location the
building is of interest on account of
the materialfrom which it is built,
which is granite, native to the local-
ity, and on account of its age, which
ie about a century. The two pros-
perous communities which it serves,
and. whichare practically one vil-
lage, have a population of about
1,000, and are said to own more au-
tomobiles than any other village of
this size in Canada.
