The ' r':th- 01' had noticed the specially vi ;e.o:ts development of v; ild plants aroun the edges of old shell holes and old trendies which had suffered front heavy firing. Iie attributed this vigor of growth partly to the 11s,uration of the soil and partly to its impreg- nation utpret-nation with nitrogenous subjects. This view was supported by seine experiments trade several years ago in the western part of the United States, in which two-year-old cherry trees planted in holes excavated by dynamite reached the height1 t of three metres (about 10 feet), while similar specimens planted by a "spade re- mained spindling And grew scarcely halt as tall. "M. Piedalln applied his ides, by placing a suitable amount of ferti- lizer in a container surrounding the explosives, in nuch a way that the force of the explosion would drive the former into the minute cracks produced, thus forming an ideal me- dium for the growth of the young tree. Tho formula of the explosive is not given, but it is stated that it is not affected either by ,,concussion or dampness, is capable of being moulded, is completely free from chlorates (which might -injure vege- tation), is Highly energetic in small volumes, and cannot be detonated except by a fulminating cap, The fertilizers employed are chosen with special reference to the character. of the earth and the needs of the trees to be planted, "The compressed fertilizer, mould- d arourttl. a nucleus of the explo-- ^ive is placed in the bottom of a tube rf cellnir id, paper or cardboard. The cylinder of explosive, which con- tains a cavity 'for the fulminating charge, is then placed in the top of the tube, the hole being closed by a stopper pierced by a Bole through which passes (fitting tightly) a piece of Bickford ,cord eonneeted with the cap. Both tire' explosive' charge and the mass of fertilizer adjoining it are covered with paraffin. The applica- tion of the charge is very. simple and Is said to nave both time and labor; A hole like one used for placing a mine is bored With a pointed stick .:I• iron rod, somewhat larger hi dia- uretcr than the cartridge. This hole should be 60 centimetres deep (about two f•: et}. "Phe explosion produces a spher- lodal cavity some 3Q: centimetres in depth (about 30 inches). The earth absorbs the vapors liberated and the young tree is then placed in the hole and its roots covered whit the earth." M.t. J. G. Stewart who is visiting at Calgary and other Western centres, sent us the following clipping from a Calgary paper. "One would have almost thought St. George's island was Huron county fora few hours yesterday afternoon whenit was beseiged by some 300 Huronites, meeting for their annual picnic. It was a real "get to-gether" time, when every Huronite made friends with every other Huronite and old friendships were renew- ed. The gathering was alive with remin- iscences of old times, while speeches, games and plenty of good things to eat, were the order of the -day. Mr. S. Y. Taylor, president, presided, the speakers being Rev. W. A. Smith, Capt. Robt Pearson, R. J. Deacbman, Dr. Armstrong and George Mason, the latter being a visi- tor in the city from Wingham, Ontario. It was a surprise to many to find so many from the satire country in the city, and the meeting proved that there is cnly one place better than Huron County, and that is Calgary. This society was organs ized about three years ago, the officers being S. Y. Taylor, president; Rev. W. A. Smith, vice-president; D. M. McCaul, secretary -treasurer. On account of the war the reunion was not kept up but the activities, planning for an annual Huronite meet, have beet recommenced. The officers elected yesterday for the present year were: Rev. W. A. Smith, president; Capt, Robert Pearson, vice- president: David McCaul, secretary-treas- ui er, Charlie Bowman To Retire Mr. C. M. Bowman, M. P, P., chief Liberal whip in the Ontario Legislature and member in the local House for West Bruce, has confirmed the rumor which has been circulated recently, that he is about to retire from public life. When asked to -day if it were true, Mr. Bowman said "Yes, it is correct. t think that the 21 years which I have spent in public life in this province, is about enough for Me. 14CIdIVS Sunshine WOULD you experiment with such an important thing as the heating of your home ?

Sold by R. R. MOONEY Sift Soil of Battlefields. Much of the metal shells and de- bris will be removed from the Euro- pean battlefields as. a necessary pre- liminary to the resumption of peace- ful pursuits. The quantity -of metal is so great that it would •be a source of annoyance, 'and even of danger, to the tiller of the soil. A systematic sweeping, so to speak, of all the bom- barded regions will be necessary, A French engineering journal de- scribes an apparatus which, though created for this special purpose, can be applied to other uses, for it will indicate the presence of steel and iron not too deeply buried in the soil. This, however, is a slow way to pro- ceed where long continued bombard- ment has literally filled the soil,,lvith metallic fragments. Methods of sal- vaging are contemplated that involve passing the soil through' plants for recovering the metal, and returning the soil to its place leveled and ready for tillage. It is also pointed out that the con- centration of fixed nitrogen in these battlefield soils, resulting from the enormous quantities of explosives used, will make these areas excep- tionally fertile. A li;emaa'kable blight. Information. regarding a remark- able flight. of a German Zeppelin has recently been reported by a British correspondent who learned the facts since the coming of peace. A German airship, it is said, left Bulgaria carry- ing a crew of twenty-two men, tons of munitions, and medical supplies, bound • for ' German East Africa, which is approximately 3,000 miles from Bulgaria. According to the ac- count, while the ship was flying over Khartoum, it received a wireless mess sage ordering ,it to return, the Ger- mans having learned that the major- ity of their troops in their African. isrritory had surrendered,—Popular Aliscltanies. TRIP TO THE WEST WINNIPEG Dear Editor. If the weary wanderer in Winnipeg takes a skirmish around the wholesale section, he will butt up against a building which looks like u Vire hall or Factory, but dear one it is neither, but a church, Grace Methodist Church, quite a crowd blew in on Sunday eve nearly filling the spacious edifice. Which would hold, I should think between 12 and 15 hundred, This church dates from Q8 and came into existence a little later than the writer, So it is grey headed now and ready for superanuation. Yet it is a pretty fine concern and not to be sneezed at, why it has cushioned pews and a fellow gets a fine soft seat such as not provided in the average church, the accommodation is good so I advise the pilgrim to tarry here for refeshment. They have a good organ and choir, The female element are nun like, with a white dofunny dangling from the throat, which is very impressive indeed, ^ I'he gentle- man looked very respectable, having each a white collar and tie. My musical ed- ucation was sadly neglected in youth, as I did not cultivate thr love for tremulo and minor key and could not therefore appreciate the classical solos as rendered, It is a sad thing to be dense. The church in some of its appointments savors of the little churches on the back concessions in the fact of having a stove in .each corner with pipes running up through the gal- lery, with a drum attachment (not the Army kind) for spreading heat when the preacher is cold, The speaker a Dr,. Smyth, an Irishman, and Irishmen know how to talk, taking his discourse from Luke 5 where the desciples went fishing, he. said, same good things along that line and declared the church should launch out in- to the deep and not hang around the little pools with pin hooks and not catch any- thing. Mats it exactly, not much caught these days, the people would sooner have a car and lots of fun, let us eat and be merry for to -morrow we die, which is the modern idea of things, a grand opport- unity for clinching the nail and . having such a crowd, but it looked like a shingle nail and a 15 cent tack hammer instead of a railroad spike and sledge, I noticed. also that. the Methodist persuasion itt "Grace"• are a. very weak kneed people, a disease whicn started in church a few years* ago and became' very conta$eous. While it liar spread from Wingham to Vancouver and,the uttermost parts of the. earth. I• took a waltz over to St. Boni-. face and checked it up one'aisle and down. the other'aud every man Jack of them were on their knees in humbleness before God. We -were not advised in grace to ac- cept ccept salvation, °this appeared to be out of fashion, so the end came and we were played out.' • • • Speaking about our people; met Mr,. Munroe and' family who are nicely sit- uated in Norwood District, he is at the stock yard. Miss M. Stewart who left Wingham,' years ago is now with Bat- ton Co , Ed. Bradwin dropped down from somewhere on the street to -day, looks happy and well says he has a lot of young fellows in tow, scattering them around for camp teaching. I think, this city' has about 275 thou sand of mixed nationality, a very Cosmo- politan city indeed the foreign element as you have seen in the papers, kicking up an awful dash, but' our laws are going to settle the out fit and fire a lot of them where,they belong. I would particulerly mention Mr. Tom Leslie, a Wingham boy, who is in the government employ in decorating and furnishing, the splendid pile of buildings (of Kelly fame) known as the provincial parliament home with an estimate cost of eight millions. and with beautifying and laying out of grounds and will likely cost another million, fancy one ediface worth the value of eight towns, the size of Wingham. This structure is about N0 feet from end to end, built in form of the letter I, the cross sections being same length. The aforesaid gentleman kindly shewing us around explaining in detail the whole matter. The tower and dome is to be about 280 feet high, which will be very imposing and seen for many miles around. The old Legislative Hall is close by and will be taken down. When entering this old place many thoughts arose about former gladiators' who thundered forth here in. the first parliaments of•Manitoba, such as Greenway, a Huron old boy, a smart cap- able man, Norquay, part. Indian, and others down to Roblin who is now from. the sublime to the ridiculous, running a garage. Much could be written about this beautiful city, the main curse is the sin of gambling, pleasurs seeking and many other evils causing' blight and de- struction on every hand, God dishonored in many ways, selfishness and greed tak- ing the place of righteous and peace with all her short comings and with regrets we bid good bye to the beautiful city hop- ing and praying that she will come out re- fined through her awful chastening, Geo. Mason Delighted. The examining officers at the pris- :uwr pens talk German like natives, but often the prisoners don't and that :cads; to complications. One inquisitor, who had just used his :‘est German vocai)ulary on an nneotn- l.rehending Il:nugarian, turned trim over to a spsciai questioner and took on five strangely -clad 'and s tint' whaI bewildered prisoners who, after a great deal of shouting and ttrtn waving, man- aged to convey the fact that they were neither Germans nor Austrians nor ifuugarians nor Slovaks. They were Italians ----five Italians taken prisoner list fall and set to mending roads be• hind the German lines. They were much pleased when it slowly dawned on than what had hap- t,cnE d, and they wanted to kiss Gen- eral I'cti'sshing to, .somebody right away. —Paris Star, and Stripes.
