These are- Seine rssane of the ways of moving invented by her children by Mother Nature, ant many af them are most curious and ingenious, wstitee R. .W. il;al- lowea, an English naturalist. Let ua try to see just how the ordinary earthwerra ward's towards the tail. His body consists of a number of rings, and the is able to lengthen or Shorten it by a kind of telescoping process. If you examine the under side., of a worm 'through a magnify- ing 'glass you will find that each ring is provided with little hooks pointing backward towards ,the tail. These hooks are ;the .worm's "non- skid" apparatus, and by enema of them he moves. When he wishes to crawl he fixes the hooks of his tail - half into the ground, bolds on by them and lengthens out the front, half of his body, sliding .it forwar over earth or grass. Since the hooks point backwards. they hold the tail still while the head nLoves forward; in fact, the harder he pushes against them, the more firmly they fix themselves. Having stretch- ed as far as he can, he takes hold with his front hooks, pulls against them, and draws up his tail. His crawling consists of endless repeti- tions of these pushing, pulling and telescoping movements. All those who have gardens know the looper caterpiblars, which do a great deal of damage every summer tc currant and gooseberry bushes. One of the commonest is the magpie, so called because both the caterpil- lar and the moth into which it turns have a striking black -and -white col- oring. Unlike ordinary caterpillars, these creatures have no legs at all in the middle of their bodies. There are six very thin legs near the head and a group of stouter ones placed close to the tail. The first action of ithe magpie caterpillar when he walks is to clutch the twig or the leaf with 'his front set of legs and to let go with those at his tail; then, by arching his hudy until it forms a loop, he brings his tail up close behind his head. He now relaxes the grip of ;his forelegs, holds on with those 'bclhind, straight- ens out his body, and stretches out as far as he cam Every time he loops he goes forward rather more than ,half his length, and it is sur- prising how quickly he can move in this curious way. Wlhen he is moving on the bottom of the sea, the lobster walks in very much the same manner as any other many -legged creature. He does not go sideways, like his cousin the crab, but behaves in a perfectly well-con- ducted way. If you look at a lobster you will notice that he has a broad, powerful tail made of several armored sec- tions; it reminds you of a paddle, and it is as a paddle that he uses it. Let us suppose that he has tmoved in search. of food some distance away from his hole under a rock. He is creeping slowly along the bottom, seizling every now and then, some small creature in his strong claws. Suddenly something comes along which alarms him. Quick as thought he "doubles up," bringing his tail un- der him with one powerful movement. The quick sweep of his tail through the water shoots him backward with a rapidity that is almost incredible. Most wonderful of all, he enters his hole while going at full speed astern. How does he manage to do this? He has, as you know, a pair of very long "feelers"—they are, in fact, longer than his doubled -up body; these he turns backward at the moment when he gives the flip with his ,tail. They act as guides, and by their help he is able to find his way un- erringly into his home, even though he is looking in the opposite direr • tion. ll0 ll Cie Pipe or One -Register. (PIPELESS) A warm home in Canada's winter is a comfort and a joy. A cold home means discomfort, discon- tent, and, frequently, sickness - A good furnace, properly installed, means a warm house and the genial. comfort of a home well ventilated and properly humidi- fied, healthful, dustless, balmy air. A poor furnace, or even a good one poorly installed, is an endless source of annoyance, discomfort, and sometimes, of sickness in the family. • A furnace is either a blessing or an afflic- tion.in the home. The Sunshine Furnace (Pipe or One -Register) is built by McClary's, the largest furnace and stove concern in the British Empire. The Sunshine Furnace is right—it is the result of seventy years' experience. It is the product of one of the forest industrial' plants in Canada.

The steamer Islander, the largest and fastest vessel on the Victoria- Skagway route, collieded with an ice- berg off Dougilas Island, near the coast of Alaska, and sank Within fif- teen minutes after the collision. Capt. Foote, master of the vessel, and' about 42 other persons, including passeng- ers, were drowned. The Islander was bound for Victoria, B.C. According to an official estimate, there were still in the field under arms, 13,500 Boers, carrying on gue- rilla warfare while the families of them were being cared for in con- centration camps. There were 119,- 000 persons in these camps. The route was being located for a railway from North Bay northward to connect the Timiskantling ,country with older Ontario. The road was built by the Government of Ontario Which still owns and operates the line. It was while the railway was being built that silver was discovered at Cobalt. 'Phe death was announced at Tor - ono of Sir George Burton, formerly Chief Justice of Ontario. He was the son of the late Admfiral George/Bur- ton of the British navy, ,and was.born in Kent, England, on July 21, 1818, and came to Canada at the age of 18 years. The Hon. Robert Robertson died at Barrington Head, Shelburne County, Nova Scotia. He had been prominent at the public affairs of his Province and was a contemporary in politics of the late Hon. Joseph Howe. The death was announced at Mont- real of Hector .Mackenzie, ,prominent in business as head af a large whole- sale dry ,goons house. He had been an officer in the 6th Battalion of Royal Light Infantry. The employees of E. B.

The German Crown Prince, then in Great Britain, visited the Earl of Roseberry, at Dalmeny Park, Edin- burg, Scotland. Fourteen years later the Earl of Roseberry was doing all in this power to raise troops to save Europe from the German raid of which this same Crown Prince and his father were the leaders.

The legislator that talks that sort of humbug does not care a tink- er's dam about the desire, the con- venience or the interest of the public. What 'he is thinking about is mak- ing a political record for himself, whether it is an honest record or a sham record. What be means is that he wants to fool the public as to who pays the taxes and how much. It is because every time a man writes a cheek he knows he is pay - I SUFFERED FIVE YEARS Finally Was Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

A revenue stamp • on every letter, on every stamp check, on 'every re- ceipt and document to which it can be stuck would pit tens and tens of millions of dollars of revenue into the yawning Treasury. It would be the simplest and the easiest tax for the taxpayer to pay. It would be the quickest and the'bheapest tax for the tax collector to collect. It would require no complicated accounting system, it would call far no hordes of administrators on the Federal pay- rolls and it would be a s'tra'ight, clean, effective tax operation all the way from taxpayer to tax layer. But it would be a clamorous tax truth Leiter. It' always would stand out in the open to teach the tax les- son against reckless appropriation of the ,publics :money. It would be a constant,danger signal against squan- dering the public's money after it was appropriated by Congress. And tnat is why' when you talk about an honest and above board startup tax out in the broad daylight for every- body to see the statesman who is a political fox hunts his hole. MOTORS AND THEIR. CARE Use new tubes in new tires. Test wheels often for wobbling. Test the valve springs for strength. Grease the wheel bearings at inter- vals. Drain the vacuum tank of impur- ities. Keep spark well advanced and save Wash the car with light stream and a sponge. A pint of gasoline can evaporate in 24 hours. Avoid 'sudden stops, quick . starts and skidding. The life of an automobile depends en the way you treat it. Children should never be allowed to play around automobiles. Of every 100 automobiles damaged, 10 are struck while parked at ithe curb. Turning the steering mechanism while the car is' standing motionless is a strain on tires... .. .. 'Phe best time to learn the first stages of driving an automobile is early in the morning. Running an automobile without carrying an extra tire is dike start- ing on a picnic without a lunch - basket. . The explosive force of gasoline, properly mixed with air and com- pressed, is 14 times greater than dy- namite. Never allow your car to be washed by inexperienced or unscrupulous workmen who use coal oil, gasoline, lye soaps and hot water. Because the rubber tires not as non- conductors, the motor car is. the saf- est place in the world to be during an electric storm. MINERS' SUPERSTITIONS While miners, like sailors and fish- ermen, believe in amens, they have many beliefs and fetishes that might seem meaningless to other people. Many of the Lancashire (England) mines are supposed to be haunted by the wraiths of the tiny children who years ago used to toil in the mines until they died from weakness or from want of fresh air. The children appear harnessed to ghostly ,trolleys, to warn miners of approaching dan- ger. In same of the anines of, the north of England the white figures of ghostly women is said to appear be- fore an explosion. Welsh colliers will not make pets of white mice. They !hold them unlucky. White birds hovering round the pits foretell death. •If on his way to work, a collier sees a white dove he will turn back. And you will not find a white cat in any 'Welsh col- lier's home. When a new man is taken on at a mine he is never allowed to go down with the first shift. He must go down with the last shift. It is rot lucky for a man to stumble on leaving the cage at the foot of the shaft. More than once after such an incident the rest of the men have refused to work on that day. Certainly the man who has stumbled moat not work. When a visitor is inspecting a mine he should never ask a .miner any questions about the dangers of the work. This simply isn't done. Above ground, however, he may ask any questions he pleases. A custom still faithfully practised by the older ruiners is that known as "panting." When men get to work on a new seam • the first miner to strike the tool with his pick leaves a bit of the Clothes he is wearing at the' spot where he etrbkes the first blow. He tears a bit from his coat or trousers for the purpose, and it is considered unluoky to have such rents 'mended. Among Durham colliery women there exists the curious custom of patting entail Hits of coal among_. the dear' sheets on their beds. They be- lieve that if they neglect to do this their mien will meat with an accident before the sheets are changed.
