NIGHT FLYING IN FRANCE.
Extracts from letter received by
Jones, manager of the Do-
minion Bank, Seaforth, from a brother
in France.
The sight of an aeroplane. overhead
now -a -days is not an event that evokes
excitement or even comment; in fact
flying is now taken for granted all
over the world and everyone has read
numerous articles on the subject, so it
would be useless to repeat what so
many have written befoee me.
There is one branch of flying, how-
ever, that is not very familiar to peo-
ple in this country and that is night
flying. Flying at night sounds haz-
ardous and exciting but as a matter
of fact, when one has made two or
three trips at night and has learned
to fly the machine without the aid of
ihstruments, night fivine becomes! AR
simple as day flying. The only ex-
tra risks in flying at night are in the
events of becoming lost or having en-
gine failure.
The natural question is, "How does
one find his way around in the dark?"
The night pilot relies on his compass
almost entirely, but uses such land-
marks as he can see tocheck his
course. Even on a very black night
(providing there is no fog) rivers and
bodies of water are quite visible,
while
roads are also good as they show up
white arid are very useful in pointing
the direction to the night pilot.
In France where roads are so num-
erous and canals stretch in every
direction and the country is covered
with woods of peculiar shapes, night.
flying is much easier than in Eng-
land and only on exceptionally misty
nights ,does a pilot become lost so
hopelessly than he finds it impossible
to find his aerodrome.
The Germans have been caused tre-
mendous trouble and expense by the F. Holmested, K.C.
operations of our night flying pilots,
and are developing their systems of
defence s to endeavor to keep our
bombs from falling on spots that
would cause him unusual inconven-
ience: The Hun employs more forms
of "hate" against the night machines
than he does in the daytime, but as one

A pilot is perhaps flying, over a
square like this and no lights are vis-
ible; perhaps he has even phoned to
his observer and remarked about the
absence of "hate" when all of a sud-
den eight searchlights open tip and
eight long pencils of light start feel-
ing around for your machine. All a-
round you these "fingers" feel and
there seems no escape; one by chance,
picks you up but instantly loses you.
Someone has seen you, however, for
that instant and Soon you feel all a-
round you the Huns' divers forms of
hate. The machine guns are firing
"tracer" bullets and you watch the
hundreds of bullets passing you from
perhaps twenty machine guns- Smile
are • red and some are white tracer
bullets. The Archie shells are burst-
ing too closely to be pleasant;you even
hear the burst of the shell above the
roar of the engine and feel your ma-
• ehine lurch from the concussion. Still
you don't nay much attention to all
this as you are very busy dodging the
infernal searchlights. You know that
any shooting they are tieing now is
at a target they can'tsee; but once let
those searchlights focus on the ma-
chine, it increases your risk five hun-
dred per cent. Not only can they then
see you but from the angles of the
searchlights they know your exact
height. Finally in spite of all your
dodging and twisting one light .does
pick you up and before you can wrig-
gle out of it the other seven are on
you and you are on the apex of a
pyramid formed by eight searchlights.
It is a terrifying experience—tyou feel
that the whole German Empire. from
the Kaiser downis gazing onyouwith
malicious eyes. What you get now in
the "hate" line is terrific. Added to
the Archie and mackine guns are bat-
teries of "Flaming Onions",
which
send up at you strings of balls of
burning phosporus- These strings vary
in length, some being a hundred feet
long and having as many as twenty
balls of flame op. Then there are the
"Flower Pots" which are a thing we
don't know much about, but which
look exactly like a burning plant in
a flower -pot. These come up singly.
Still you are held by these search-
lights and all the thne the strafing
against you is increasing. You come
to the conclusion that twisting and
'turning around and consequently los-
ing height, is of no avail, you quickly
dive your machine at its utmost speed
and get away from that barrage with.
as little loss of time as possible. Most
likely four or five minutes is the long-
est- that you were in the barrage, but
it seems like a lifetime and once clear
of it you make a note of the position
of it and vow to yourself that 'you
won't go the same way heme if it
takes an extra half hour to go Pound
it. The rest of the journey to the ob-
jective passes without special interest
and apparently Fritz isn't expecting
us round there. We wake him up to
life with t? few "eggs" as the airman
calls his bombs and give him a few
hundred rounds from the gun and then
start oj the homeward journey. It is
always with a certain sense of relief
and comfort that one crosses the line
on the homeward journey and the

mine is) passes you some chocolate

extra hard or long winter, the bees will
winter better in a well-insuleted and
dry cellar than outside.
Another important cause of loss was
unwholesome or insufficieot stores.
Honey -dew, fruit -juice, molasses and
syrup made from low grade sugar,
will kill the bees before spring. The
most reliable stores for winter are
well ripened clover honey, buckwheat
honey, and syrup made from refined
sugar. Some honeys gathered in the
fall are unwholesome. Be sure that
the stores are well ripened and capped
over before Cold weather, and that each
colony has about thirty pothads.
The remaining causes of loss were
weak colonies, queenlessness, too high
proportion of old bees to young bees
due to old or drone -breeding queens,
and the depredations of mice,
Weak colonies should be united and
the hives packed in the wintering
cases about the middle of September,
an any feeding that is found to be
neAsary should be completed before
the end of September exoept in South",
ern Ontario when a week longer is
allowable.
Owing to the shortage of sugar,
some capped combs of the purest clov-
er honey should, if possible, be reser-
ved for wintering. Be sure that this
has .been gathered by bees free from
foul brood. These combs should be
left in the care of the bees until re-
quired.
PUBLIC SCHOOL GRADUATION.
Results of Junior and Senior Public
School Graduation Extinur' iations. The
following were successful at the Junior
Public . School graduation examination
held in June, 1918. On account of al-
gebra having been dropped and ele-
mentary science and art added to the
examination subjects, the percentage
of eacessful candidates is much small-
er than in former years. To pass, a
candidate must make forty per cent.
on each subject and 660 marks as a
total. The diplomas will be sent to the

BANK EXCHANGE
A rate of exchange of over 2 per
cent. on remittances of funds to the
United States has developed of recent
months. The American holder of Can-
adian funds has beenichagrined to find
that they are subject to a very eon-
siderable shrinkage, while the Canad-
ian importer has resented the two per
cent, preniium on his purchases in the
United States which he must pay in
addition to the cost, price and duty. In
many cases there has been a tendency
to blame banks and banking for the
situation, because customers have not
taken the trouble to look beyond the
banks to the international trade deyel-
Stiments which are at the root of the
high exchange rate.
In order to arrive at a clear under-
standing of these developments, it is
necessary to bear in mind the funda-
mental truth that exchange is some-
thing which must be bought before it
can be sold and that United- States
funds are just as much an article of
commerce as United States oranges.
The Canadian banks do not create
these funds; they buy them. Accord-
ing as the supply is plentiful or scarce,
they pay a low or a high price. When
they come to dispose of this exchange,
they do so at the quotation of that
particular day, which ma.y be slightly
lower or slightly higher than the price
at which they bought. In other words,
the bank e stand to lose as well as to
