DaX. Binevale, as follows: ''rile prophecy that Louie, Blake Duff, editor of the Welland Telegraph,. would take the London Advertising Club by storm whenhe addressed it at the Tecums eeli House on Friday night was- fulfilled when more than three score members of the organization lea night applauded voci- ferously what their preeklent declared to be "the speech of the year". For more than an hour the Welland editor held them spellbound as he related the history of The Fourth Estate from, the time when Julius Caesar published the first issue of the Acta Diurna until the present day. He gave a comprehensive outline of the growth of the press through. out the world and enlivened his talk by sidelights on Canadian Jo urnalism • . "The newspaper is the greatest miracle of an age of miracles," he saki "Here this morning fur iwo centyou bought the history of the world. Tc -night the whole universe is being draggnetted for you and you will have the result at your breakfast table to -morrow morning Behind it is the greatest skill and ingenuity of man. It toolyears and years and millions to construct the channels through which You get your paper for a cent " He quoted Carlyle's famous utterance that in the reporters' gallery of the ilouse of•Parliament sat "the fourth estate, the most important of the four " Napoleon had paid tribute in military terms, as Car- lyle had in parliamentary, by asserting that "The Cologne Gazette is worth 10 battalions on the Rhine The London Times during the Napo- leonic era had a eirculation which is equalled by scores of present day country journals in Canada, Mr. Duff asserted, and it didn't give'any more space to the battle of Waterloo than the local papers would give to the gas fitters' ball If this, then, at that time, was "the fourth estate;" one arm of which was ac- counted as strong as 10 battalions, consid- er it to -day after a 100 years of growth," lie said. Mr Duff then told how the report of President Wilson's break with Germany was brought to 700,000 people by one extra issue of The Chicago Herald. -To produce this 420,000 tons of pulp had been required cleared from 84 acres of Canadian soil. Five hundred and ten men had been employed for four days and the copies spread end to end would reach from Behring Strait to Cape Horn If printed in the 60's the paper alone would have cost 8185,000, its actual cost was 520,000 These figures he thought, should Mello. caLe that it was time for the Canadian people to look to the future "Wind and *all paper should be elimi- nated from the newspaper," he said. Commencing at this point he traced the history of the paper. Ceasar had been the first publisher sending copies of his Acta Diurna, containing the daily orders and reports of games and elections as well; to all the Roman provinces The next paper was the Chinese Gazette, pub- lished in the 7th Century. This was fol- lowed bye the introduction of printing, into England by Caxton and the publica- tion of The Oxford Gazette. The first Canadian newspaper was The Halifax Gazette, founded in 1752, three years after the city. The publisher was. Bartholomew Green, whose father had founded The Boston .News. The Halifax paper was followed by the publication of others -in Quebec and Montreal. The Halifax Gazette, now The Royal Gazette, was a two page paper printed on paper 0x15 inches Its first editorial, written some years after the establishment of the paper, was "Tho Delusion of Earthly Riches " 'During 30 years of publication only one marriage notice Was printed and the births and deaths of royalty were the only ones recorded. A little known fact was that Benjamin Franklin had been instrumental in found- ing The Montreal Gazette. He came to Canada with the intention of persuading the French Canadians to join in the rev- olution against the British crown, but dee parted in 31) days realizing that his task was hopeless. Heleft behind him his type and other equipment and this was taken over by a French-Canadian, who founded the paper During the infancy of the press the at- titude of officialdom towards it was one of intolerance, Mr. Duff said. Ile pointed to the attempts of Queen Anne's officials to keep information from reaching the many and confining it to the few by de- manding the presence of an excise stamp on each copy and the imposition of meths itant taxes on all advertisements. We had inherited this attitude, and it had been manifest here when a Canadian editor had been imprisoned for stating that a crown attorney had displayed "native malignity." The editor while in prison, continued the publication of ,this paper.

One of the outstanding emits of journalism, he said„ was the publication of Free Belguim, "the daily food of the ad- mirable morale of the Belgian. people." The German failures te suppress it pros vided some of the rarest humor of the war, and each morning it still found ita. way to the German governor of Beleuim and laughed arthe tyranny able country. In this connection he pointed out that Germany had never had a free press 131s - mane% had drawn it under leis control and be or his spirit had controlled the people ever since After dealing with the harm which corn tnercialism had done to the profession he said "the press to -day stande reiehse above its weaknesees It cerries light into dark places and evil flees before it Each journalist is learning to weite the news eo that the interest of the people as a whole may be served " lele.

The transient existenee of the soap bubble is proverbial, but P.rof, j. Dew- er, in a discourse delivered at tho Royal Institution in Louden, explained how soap bubbles could be made to last for months, mid exhibited several specimens. The first requisite is that the air used in blowing the bubble shall be free from dust. In Professor Dewar's process the sir Is filtered through cot- ton wool, and the bubbles are blown bee opening a stopcock in the air -supply tube. For the soap solution he prefers the purest oleic acid (tested by the iodine number) and ammonium. soap (not potassium or medium.) To make a bubble durable the sac of liquid must be removed from its bot- tojii by suction through tubes applied from outside, The lecturer showed bubbles more than half a yard in. di- itmeter, blown in glass vessels contain- ing purd air at atmospheric pressure. A littIe water is kept at the bottom of the vessel. A uniform temperature of about 50 degrees Fahrenheit is fa- vorable to longevity. Professor Dewar said some of the smaller bubbles were a year old.

This cannot beverified definite- ly, but the annual loss caused by the uoe of seed other tnan the best is beyond all doubt suprisingly great. The present situation, with the world scarcity of cereals and the shortage of farm labour, urgently demands that the best possible selection be made from our 1)17 grain crop for seed. This will bring about a great increase in production with a minimum increase in labour require- ments. The proper procedure is for each individual farmer to make stare now, in early winter, that he has pure seed of strong vitality for his Spring sowing. The energy and vitality of seed can be ascertained only by a germination test, Mere inspeetionsis untrustworthy Grain of very good veight and excellent appear- ance is frequently found to have a cons siderable part killed outright, and the rest so weakened that the young plant are started with too little energy to with- stand bad weather, or give a high yield, A poor crop is often said to have been the result of adverse conditions when if strong seed had been sown a satisfactory yield Would have been secured.
