The apparatus consists of i stove with a firebox suitable for coke fuel, sur- rounded by a eiumbee of small diameter tubes similar to gas pipes. By Mesita of the apparatus fresh, dry, outside air en- ters constantly into the air supply tubes and is highly heated in the tubes sue- rounditig the fire places.

' Toronto Saturday Night: Large sums of money are needed for this develop- ment hi our increasing wheat area. But the anneal return on production of this eereal is greater and much safer than 113 tiny other investment we know of. The shrewd British investors, many ta whom have vatted this country in recent years, have siyed up the situation pretty ELM- rateLy. They have discovered that sum itvestments tor the development of the ttatitery not alone insure a good annual mturn, but 'have the ffeet of widening the merkets for the British manufee- turer at home. The heavy streams of bamigetttion going into the • Western country must of necessity create a litt- ter demand for manufactured goods and help to swell Canadian imports, Then again it must not be forgotten that the ,expending imports of Canada, \lake are chiefly agrieultural, also have the effeet of stimulating our imports. And the British matufacturer investor de- rive the greatest benefit from such a eondition. KIMMER RESORT WATER.

The largest catch of fish yet recorded is that which is reported. here to have been made by Sid Phelan, jute, of At- lanta, on his father% plantation neer here, on Saturday, when 500 fish were caught at one time. The Phelan plantation is located on the nut River, and there are a number of pools near by, caused from the reeent heavy rains and rapid etse of the river. On Saturday Mr. Phelan saw what ap- peared to be a school of fish in one of these ponds. He examined and found that this was true, and. that the fish were being herded, as it were, by a large sanke, which was swimming around theme He got a bucket and let it down into the pond where they were the thiek- est, and when he pulled it up the bucket was full of fish. There were over 000, each about an inch or so long.—Roberta correspondence Atlanta Constitution, 4 0 • Neatly half the weight of the human body consists of -muscles which conneet the bonea and, by contraction move them into various positions: In the best steam engines only one-tenth of the po- tential energy of the fuel is converted into meehanieal work, but the muscles utilize in work from 34 to 55 per cent. of the energy of the "food and probably much more, as the sexperiments which furnished these figures were performed with muscles removed front the body, not with living muscles richly stipplied with blood.
