'Che Jones, as she was popuarly desig- nated, 11119 well known all over the northern part of Lake Ilurot, including the Georgian Bay. She was of "tug" build, and was for many yeurs engaged in collecting fresh fish, packed in boxes from the various fishing stations-Tober- mory. The Ducks, Cockburn Island, Kil- larney, the Bustards, and points on the east coast of the Georgian Bay, com- pleting her journey at Owen Sound. Of late years the franchise of these stn - tions has been under the control of the Dominion fish Company and the boat was formerly owned by that, organlzn• tion. 'Jiiii1 she was staunchly built was proved conclusively when she was a few `ears ago sunk between Kagawwong harbor and Clappe'ton Island as the re- sult of it rnllision with the steamer Pacific of the Northern Navigation Com- pany's fleet. She was floated and re- paired the next spring and put on her old route, her first captain after the accident being the man who was first (nate of the Pacific at, the time of the collision. Curiously enough the same season the Pacific was completely des- troyed by fire at the owner's dock in Colingwood harbor. The fate of the ,}ones, FO similar to that of the Jane Miller n score of years ago, should be sufficient in the way of warning to doter env 5111a11 vessel from venturing on the ((eorginl Bny during the season of bad fall storms. The Jones was a good vessel of her class, but was too smal to weather the seas that have proved too Hutch for larger vessels such as the ill-fated Asia. Tt is not neces- sary to suppose that she struck a rock; to all appearance she simply foundered as the result of being overwhelmed by waves too high to be overridden, The Mute Story of Disaster.

ARTIFICIAL VEGETABLES. But Producer Failed to Say Whether They Are Edible, Paris, Dee. 3. -The Academy of Sciences listened yesterday to Prof. D'Arson'al describe artificial vege- tables, which he exhibited, and which were produced by the methods of Prof, Le Due, of the Nantes 31edlcal School. Prof. 1)'Arsonval interested his colleagues greatly, but, unfortunately for the lay public, he did not say wheth- er these so•called vegetables are edible. While they were described as vegetables they have nothing of the vegetable in their make-up, but they behave after their production as do the real vege- tables they resemble under natural con- ditions. Into the composition of these products nothing seed in pill feral, one part of sulphate of copper and two parts of gglucose, lese ere deposited in bouillon made of gelatine, to which is added three per cent. of fe'ro-cynnide of pottasium and a little sea salt. The seed develops sometimes on the surface of the liquid and sometimes in its depths, giving birth to plants resembling seaweed 'and other marine plants. It was announc- ed that these artificial plants were not merely scientific curiosities, as Prof. 'Le Due has been able to recognize that they enjoy the same properties as the plants they resembled, and were influenced sim- ilarly by heat and light. ♦.o OTTAWA'S CHURCH CENSUS, In Many Cases Cards Incomplete - Pastors Asked to Aid. Ottawa, Dec. 8. -The task of count- ing the thousands of cards for tlic purpose of arriving 1,t the church census was commenced today, ]u quite a number of cases the cards are incomplete, the canvasser failing to state the particular pastor or congre- gation preferred. These cards will be handed over to the different minister- ial bodies to classify' as judgment may direct, There is also a large number of mixed tickets, in which families are divided in church preference, Separ- ate cards are being mode out for each on'4, While thousands of Roman Catholic cards have been turned in, the count of this great body will he in- complete, clue to the refusal of Arch- bishop Duhamel to co-operate, The Catholics have a tliorolgli organiza- tion of their own, the priests slaking a census every year, keeping the fig- ures up to elate. In the case of the Protestant. bodies the census is likely to prove helpful, To hunt up those who do not attend church or Sunday school will be left to the pastors. If the clergy and others do not follow It up the whole fruit of the census is lost. A 'FLOATING MINE.

Rev, Mr. Anderson occupied the chair and after a few remarks the program, with but a slight change, was carried out as presented, As this was Harold Jarvis' first appearance before a Blyth audience ho was the chief at- traction of the evening. His magnifi- cent, well trained voice charmed every ono. His fine presence enhanced the pleasure given by his songs. He was repeatedly encored, For his encores he gave "The Adtniral's Broom," "Daigle" "Tho Dear Little Girl," "My Ain Folk," "Beautiful' Isle of Somewhere," and by special request gave "The Glory Song," Mr, Jarvis will no doubt be welcomed back any time, Mrs, Hem- uth and Miss Sperling gave threo fine piano ducts, and as to the readings of Rev, Suiall and Reid, each did his part in good style; Miss Pearl Gidley may be placed ns one of the stars of the evening as hor work as accompanist for Mr, Jarvis was well done and we should judge that an outside accompanist for any concert in town will be a thing of the past, as 1liiss Gidley did hor part in first class style.

Sucl phrases as "bake in a slow oven," "bake in a quick oven," bake in u moderate oven," will soon be obsolete, and our favorite recipts for bread and cake will be changed to "bake itt an oven of 200 degrees," or "bake in an oven of 235 de - groes." Possibly there is not a house- wife in all America who can tell you to -day what is the temperature of a "hot,' Oven of 0f a "moderate," "slob," "quick" or "brisk" oven. And perhaps they is not one who knows nt what tem- perature Fahrenheit or centigrade an oven should be for cooking different foods. The figures I have used in the fore- going paragraphs are merely for the sake of illustration. As matter of absolute fact the temperature for baking meat is about 300 degrees. and that for bak- ing bread nhout 400, Layer enke re- quires from 280 to 300 degrees. A "mo- derate" oven is 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Some cakes cook nt 212 degrees, such as angles' enke. It is said that 1f you place a pan of water in the said, it is impos- sible to get the temperature higher than 212 degrees, T have no experience on that subject. But all these details will be easily cant when the whole output of stoves and ranges is supplied with ther- mometers and all the cook books name the desired degree of heat, -New York Press. ♦•• Distress Signals From Mars, (Washington Post,) Astronomers assort that Mare 1s again try- ing to nlgnnl us.

In this strange mysterious at- mosphere of the spirit, every sin -infected life is a menace to the moral health of the community, "Behold how groat a matter a little fire' kindleth," say's the Apostle, and it wills that truth that gave such solemn emphasis to the words of Christ when Ile said: "Take heed how ye Offend" -that is, (he crouse to stumble -"one of these little ones. It were bet- ter for that man that a stone were tied around his neck and he were cast into leo depths of the sea." '('herefore. 01Y brethren, let us wrestle ngninst these intangible elements of evil that nue not only around us, but within us, lest in cherishing thele 1'e cause, it may bo unconsciously, 60111e little one, 801110 weal: and tempted soul, to stumble into the ways of death. Our text finally suggests where the pleat secret of victory over these forces of evil lies. 1Iow are we to resist this coaslnnt procession of sinful solicita- tions which impregnates the soul's at- mosphere? Thunk God, this ntmosphere nrould the soul is not altogether evil. If w'0 ere encompassed by forces that 1118140 for death, yet are thorn also ele- ments and infllences that make for rigliteousnes and life. Just ns the pure oxygen breathed into the lungs strength- ens the w11010 body so that it ensts off every disease germs that invades 't, so as the soul puts itself into tint big area of living where rho oxygen of heaven sweeps in currents of purity and power, will we overcome in this conflict with mil, If there are unseen princi- palities of wickedness around as, thank God there nre also unseen influences of the divine life. The more of God there is in your thoughts, the less of evil will there be in your actions, Evil cannot live where God is. If the spirit of Christ is supreme within the sanctuary of the heart, no impious feet of evil can invode its precincts. The spirit of Christ -that after ell is our crest pledge of victory. Tho true health of our soul lies in communion with the living, per- sonal Saviour, To breathe the atmos- phere of Ilia spirit day by day, to have our souls reinforced through communion with Kiln is not only to strengthen our own lives, but to purify the tone of that spirituel atmosphere around us in wlliclr We all live and move and have our being. "Wherefore," says Paul, "take unto you the whole armor of God." In Paul's thought there is sotnething personal in these battalions of sin which sweep upon us out of the darkness. --Rev, Dr. Don- ald Sage Mackay, 44* The y'ear's iow record for Standard Oil stock in the curb market, establish. ed lust Friday, when the price touched 525, represents a loss in market value - Akin of 315,000,000 from the high price of 840 in 1002.

Other hospitals refuse the consumptive. This institution cares for them. Not a single applicant has ever been refused admission to the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives because of his or her poverty. Seven hundred and thirty-eight patients have been cared for since the Free Hospital was opened in 1902. Take a week's record 63 patients In residence ; 37 absolutely free, not paying a copper toward their maintenance ;15 paying 50 cents a day or less; 5 paying $4.00 a week ; 4 paying $6.00; one paying $7.00. These figures tell plainly of a large deficit on maintenance account each month.
