Some Confusion
Over Four Twins
And Thr Fails
(From the Timmins Advance.)
No less than three ladies have
called the attention of the Advance
what they term a serious error
a recent issue of this newspaper.
ey say that the . Advance told
tibout two pairs, sets, or groups, of
•twins being born recently, at Smilth
Lack Falls, while the truth as the
fes see it is that the said pairs,
bets or groups, of twins were born
Ota Twin Falls. The one lady speaks
In sorrow—sorrow that the Advance
should make a mistake. The second
lady speaks in anger—anger that
Smooth Rock Falls should get the
"credit rightly due to Twin Falls, The
third lady speaks—in pure impish-
ness. Heaven bless her! And help
her.
If three men found fault with the
ledvance, well, that would simply
be three men finding fault! But with
three ladies it is different! What
to do? Well, what can be done about
twins, except to accept the inevit-,
trble! It is a jolly good thing that
Callander or Corbeil were not ment-
ioned.
In excuse to two of the ladies --
the one who spoke in friendly sor-
row, and the one who spoke in
linger --an explanation is due. To
he third lady who was actually the
first lady to comment on the item—
the one who spoke impishly —
nothing but good wishes that she
•may have a similar item or items
of her own to give the Advance,
and that there are no errors.
The explanation of the whole mat-
ter is nearly as complicated as twins.
The advance was given the inform-
ation in the item by a gentleman
who once lived in Iroquois Falls, but
tater was employed at Smooth Rock
Falls and possibly lives now at Twin
Falls. The Advance apparently got
Its Falls all mixed up in this matter
of twins, and now the ladies are
taking falls out of the Advance.
Since the comrlaint of the three
ladies the Advance has checked up
on the twins and the Falls, and
learns now that the two pairs of
twins were born within a few clays
of each other at Iroquois Falls, of
parents residing in Twins Falls and
all of them but the twins had heard
of Smooth Rock Falls. Accordingly,
everybody is right, and everybody
wrong, but the twins. The twins are
all right.
Twin Falls is a small settlement
not far from Iroquois Falls, nor very
far from Smooth Rock Falls as the
crow files, or: the stork flies. For
Twin Falls to have two pairs of
twins. is a mark of distinction —
what a certain me uncertain Toronto
newspaper would term a birth mark.
Cape h '; reton's
Gigantic Sc. t
Raised Anchor
(From the Moncton Transcript.)
The Sydney Post -Record antici-
pates the opening of the Sydney an-
niversary celebration by issuing a
forty-eight page edition reviewing
the history of Cape Breton in gen-
eral and Sydney in particular.
The story would scarcely be com-
plete without mention of the famed
Giant MacAskill, who brought fame
Ito his adopted country, or rather
the country of his parents' adoption
when he was only six. He was born
of aver,e a -sized parents in the
N„ebrides, one of a family of thir-
teen, in the year 1825. After an
uneventful voyage, their ship reach-
ed St. Ann's Bay, a sparsely settled
district in Victoria County, Cape
Breton, where the family began
life anew, and between farming
and fishing eked out an existence
which was quite comfortable.
In the little churchyard, high up
in the hills overlooking the entrance
to the bay, is a small tombstone
marking the burial place of Angus
MacAskill; a dutiful son, a kind
brother, just in all his dealings, uni-
versally respected by friends and
acquaintances." reads the inscrip-
tion.
He died at the early age of thirty-
eight, but not before he had made
a tour of North America and parts.
of Europe, part of the tinfir7
Tom Thumb as his partner. They
made a strange contrast.
MacAslcill was seven feet, nine
inches in height, more than five
hundred pounds in weight and his
chest measurement was eighty
inches. The palm of his hand was
six inches wide and the hand a
foot in length; the smallest man in
the world would stand on the palm
of the giant's hand a perform a
little dance. He appeared before
Queen Victoria, when he received
two gold rings, and lie gave exhibi-
tions in his native Scotland.
The crowning feat of his life-
time was seen by a New York audi-
ence after his return from Europe,
when he lifted a 2,200 pound anchor
from a wharf to his shoulder. This
feat eventually forced his retire-
ment, fortunately, however, with a
fair competence. "-

result we may thank Dr. Defoe,
whose great care and .skill, assisted
by all the expedients of modern medi-
cal science, kava made this joint sur-
vival possible,
In surviving together to age one,

The probability of five such babies
all surviving to age one is the fifth
power of this figure, that is 78 per

The same life table shows that the
probability of one female newborn
baby surviving to age 51 is 78 per
cent. Thus, even if we assume as
favorable mortality for quintuplets as
for the average American child, we
reach the conclusion stated above,
that in the first year of their life
they have withstood the degree of
life risk ordinarily met with by one
female individual in the first 51 years
of her life,
Actually, these babies were prema-
turely born, and this without doubt
greatly increased their risk of dying
in their first year. When we consid-

All these figures are based on av-
erages, and actually the children may
do` better than stated above. One
fact which it is not possible to take
bito account in the computation is
that the children are of the "identi-
cal" kind of multiple births, and
thhrefore they probably have very
closely similar predispositions, such
asi would tend, barring accidents, to
make them all survive to about the

This we have every reason to hope,

LESSON NO. 83
Composition in Art—Part 2
We will endeavour in this lesson
to teach in the practice of Com-
mercial Art how we follow the laws
of proportion to achieve: HAR-
MONY, BALANCE and RHYTtIM.
These are the principle modes in
which VARIETY is revealed in
Nature and through arrangement in
works of Art.
Harmony in Balance or in Rhythm
occurs in repetition of an element in
which there is some corresponding
features or some likeness. It is this
harmonious relation between things,
this variety, that we seek in Nature.
derstood.
In Fig. No. 198, by drawing a
line through the centre of a rec-
tangle we make an equal division of
two areas which have the same im-
portance. Here we have a uniformity,
a sameness that gives symmetry,
but not Variety.
However, we do obtain a little
Variety in Fig. No. 199, by placing
the line a little to the left of the
centre. Which gives a slight ad-
ditional interest, yet it approaches
too closely to uniformity to be real-
ly interesting or pleasing. There is
no feeling of distinct relations in

An artist to be able to put on
paper or canvas any of Nature's
impressions, with a line, spot or
colour, with some degree of intelli-
gence, must first learn to under-
stand what is meant by "Harmony".
A little study of the rectangles
divided by heavy lines into pleasing
and unpleaseng space divisions, will
tend to make these principles of
Harmony more easily understood.

this division of two areas. Neither
is there any simple relation between
the areas because the dividing line
is too close to the centre to be
pleasing. For this very reason, the
line of Division in. Fig. No. 200 is
annoying to the eye. So great a dif-
ference in contrast of the two areas
gives an appearance of the smaller
area being cut away. The line of
division in Nos. 199-200 does not
give a pleasing relation to the rec-
tangle.
In Fig. No. 201, there is no feeling
of the lack of relationship as there
is in 199-200. There is however, a
division of the area in which the eye
can perceive a harmonious relation
that gives a sense of real satisfact-
ion.
As we proceed with our study on
composition, you will ]earn of many
reasons why a sense of visual cont-

Times -Journal.)
The motorist who went on a vaca-
tion with his family 10 or 12 years
Ago had to .cut it short unless he
was able to afford to spend a sub-
stantial sum on hotels, ar, alter-
natively didn't mind lugging a tent
along with him and camping on any
field where he got permission, plus
carrying a cooking outfit and uten-
sils—which didn't make it much of
a holiday for the wife and mother.
There were few tourist camps to
be seen, and those that did exist
were just wooden huts put together,
while the beds and bedding were far
from inviting. If he did got to a
hotel he had to be prepared to pay
five to ten dollars a night for a
room or rooms, dinner and breakfast
bills, a dollar for garage, and last,
but not least, hand out tips here
and there.
During recent years there has
been an amazing change, There are
sleeping cabins everywhere along
the highways, some of them as at-
tractive and inviting as any small
Summer home, and amid surround-
ings in orchards or by lakes and
rivers that positively persuade the
tourist to stop and enjoy the locat-
ion.
Beds and conveniences are all
that could be desired, and the price
within the reach of the most humble
travellers. And beautiful tourist
homes, too, so nice -looking outside
and in that one has to look twice
to see if he is not making a mistake
in pulling up at the residence of
some gentleman who would be in-
sulted if asked for a room.
Many people in good circumstanc-
es cater to this trade, making a
substantial sum per week, which
helps to pay off the mortgage. We
heard recently of a couple in the
Niagara area who started to buy a
15 -room house in the days before the
economic slump, and then found
themselves in a fix. They were con-
fronted with the prospect of losing
what they had already paid, but
pocketed their pride and took in
tourists.
In four years the fine home which
they had figured on owning in 12
years was their own. The "depres-
sion" proved a boon to them. The
experience could be multiplied In-
definitely on varying scales.
Of course, this has been hard on
standard hotels, but there has been
a general stimulation of • travel which
otherwise would not' have taken
place. People- are "getting to know
their, own country, and that of the
United. States,. better, and a lot of
money is being put into general cir-
culation.
Cowcatchers
To CatchCows'
(From the New York
Herald Tribune.)
Mr. Daniel Willard has claimed
the "blue ribbon with palms" rashly
offered by a columnist to any one;
who could cite a case of a cowcatch-;
er catching a cow. In the early days
the cowcatcher of a locomotive Mr.
Willard was driving not only caught
a cow but prevented the cow from
catching the locomotive, and so
preserved Mr. Willard to posterity
and the president of the B. & 0.
Thus is a noble though now de-
clining institution of American rail-
roading vindicated. The old-fash-
ioned cowcatcher was generous in
proportions, strongly barred and
amply sloped. For generations of
tank town small boys it was a focal
point in the imagination, second
only to the thundering wheels of the
esoteric glories of the cab.
It was exciting in its suggestion
at once of menace and defence; it
figured largely in the railroad dime
novels in desperate deeds of vil-
lainy or heroism, and the dream of
one day riding the cowcatcher re-
presented a summation of adventur-
ous bliss beside which even a ride
in the cab would pale. It would have
been heartbreaking to believe that a
cowcatcher had never even caught a
cow.

from the humble and domesticated
switch engine, was a symbol of
romance and of release.
It was so in a larger sense. The
neat little British locomotives, run-
ning between the clipped hedges
and careful fencings of a settled
land, never had cowcatchers. There
was no need for them in England.
The device on the iron horses of
America bespoke the pioneer con-
ditions, the unfenced distances, the
wildness of the country through
which they ran, just as the old ].bell -
stacked woodburners bespoke prime-
val forest, so plentiful that ane could
afford to stoke locomotives with it.
But the bell stack long since
shriveled and disappeared with
civilization; the cowcatcher has
more recently been following, until
already it approaches the vestigial.
Today one has to look twice to find,
tucked away under the front cast
ings of the modern gianla, the few
strips of metal which are all that
remains of that once mighty sym•
bol of our lavish liberty.
