Put Out or, Bustneu, A statement showing how all the agricultural societies in Ontario are affected by the new Agricultural Aot, and information with regard thereto, is being sent out to the various societies by H, P. Cowan, superintendent of agriculture, Instead of fixedrants being made to tho societies, as formerly, the' grants aro now to be in proportion to the amounts expended by the societies for agricultural purposes.. The majority of the societies will re- ceive increased grants, but some will find a big falling off. In one instance, an agricultural society's grant will drop from $000 to 8285, and in another the grant will be $240 instead of $447 as fortnorly, It is anticipated that the new act will effect about 100 societies so soriottely that they may cease to exist.

There was constant bad taste in toy mouth, I was costive and usually nauseated be - ford and after meals, I also had a gnaw- ing sensation in the stomach. Ferro - zone gave me great relief, and I used Catarrhozone which is good for catarrh. Although it took a number of boxes of Perrozono, I got back my health and today am quite well," For stomach ca- tarrh, indigestion and kindred disorders nothing excels Ferrozone, In a thous- and cases it has proved a wonderful success.

Other marks must not bo more, prominent than these. (2) Three grades are now deiined instead of only one as fortnerly. The essentiais of each grade are a5 follows: (1) Every apple in a package marked "fancy" must be, of normal size and fieri from all blemishes. (2) Every apple in at package marked "No. 1" mast be a well grown specimen of the variety named on the package, sound, of not less than medium size of good color for the variety, of normal shape, and 90 per cent of the specimens must bo free from all defects, (8) livery apple in a pack - ago (narked "No. 2" trust bo not less than nearly medium size and 80 per c of the specimens !Rust be flee from all defects causing material waste.

MYSTERY OF THE DEEP SEA, Swedish Scientists Investigate the Phen- omena of "Dead Water." One of the most curious murine phe- nomena known to Seamen is that called by Norwegian 50ilors "(lead water," which, without any visible cause, makes a vel lose her +peed and refuse to answer her helm. The sailor's only (tett- trite knowledge of its origin, says the Scotemaut, is that it exists solely where there it a surface layer of fresh water resting upon the salt waters of the Rvn. Several explanations have been ndvnnced by the captains of ships of the effect of diad water, the cotnnlonest, of which is that the two water layers trove in dif- ferent directions.

The tank was then filled to a certain depth with stilt water and a layer of fresh water was carefully pour- ed on to the surface. so that two sep- ornte water layers were obioincd. The snit water w'tt.: blackened with liquid Cfiinete.ink before the water layers were prepared, and in this Vity the different layers were male clearly visible, A boat model was then towed along the tank and 0 silhouette of the waves pt'odaced was obtained by plac'in'g 0 white screen at n. short distance berhind the tank. The waves were also photographed by flash- light, and the results showed conclusive- ly that Waves aetually were set up at the 'boundary line between the two 1i - quids Fur,ther experinlc11 were undo to verify the sudden h.,. of speed due to dead water. The boat model wars drawn across the tank and the towing string suddenly slackened when the bon1, wars about half way across , In cases where the tank contained salt Witter only the boat strr}gnd golitaliy, moving sotne boat lengths after the towing string' had been shrew 'ned, When the tank i:onlatin- ed a layer of fresh wetter resting on salt water, on the other hand, the boat slack- ened speed quite suddenly and, 'moved only a very short distance. These expert• meets, eutrried out on ti anion sen le, prove conchrsivedy that the difficulties. encountered within a dead Water zone are realty due to the resistance experi- enced ,by the veeeel in generating insiMi- ble ven.ves nt. the 'fresh writer -salt water boundary, although in eotne pa.rtioula,r cries the influence of untlercurrentq nets't oleo, doubtless, he taken into tic - count , COSTLY CHURCHES. trinity's Value Put at $12,500,000, In- cluding Land.

DON'TS FOR BATHERS,' The loss of ninny lives by drowning this season has led William Henry, hon• orury secretary of the -Royal life -Saying Society, of London, to draw up a list of a few "don'ts" Which bathers ought to observe. '.!'hey are as follows: Don't. bathe in quiet, secluded spots Doti's swirl out from shore in the sett and other tidal waters unattended by a boat. Don't bathe shortly after a hearty meal. Don't bathe alone if subject to giddi- ness or fttitltness. Don't take fright because you hap• pen to fall into the water in your clothes. Clothes will float.. Don't take fright because taken with cramp. Keep calm and turn on the hock, theft rub and stretch the affected limb. If seized in the leg, turn up the toes, straighten the leg to stretch the muscles, and apply friction by kicking the surface of the water. leave the water as soon as possible. Mr. Henry, concludes by drawing atten- tion to the need of 11111kiug switunting a part of the national education.
