—The deepest sounding ever
made by any vessel was by the
United States ship Nero, while on
the Honolulu -Manilla cable survey,
with apparatus borrowed from the
Albatros. When near Guam the
Nero got 5,269 fathoms, or 31,641
feet, only 66 feet leas than 6 miles.
If Mount Everest, the highest
mountain on earth, were set down
in this hole, it would have above
its summit a depth of 2,612 feet, or
nearly half a mile of water.
—More people over 100 years old
are found in mild climates than in
higher latitudes. According to the
last census of the German Empire,
of a population of 55,000,000 only
78 have passed the hundredth year.
France, with a population of 40,-
000,000, has 213 centenarians. In
England there are 146, in Ireland
578, and in Scotland 46. Sweden
has 10 and Norway 23, Belgium 5,
Denmark 2, and Switzerland none.
Spain, with a population of 18,-
000,000, has 401 persons over 100
years of age. Of the 2,250,000 in-
habitants of Servia, 575 have pass-
ed the century mark.

Dr. Andrew Wilson, it was pointed

processes in from three to five
years. The lecturer declared that

burial in the true sense, for the
early Christians used no coffins, but
wrapped the corpse in a winding -
sheet. At the crematory every-
thing was done "decently and in
order." The incinerating was out
of sight, and no trace of flame or
odor could be found. The lecturer
summed up his argument for cre-
mation thus :—"In the common

tion and decay in the earth ; in the

marine turbine development jnst
now, it is a fact that there will be
solve splendid speciineus of turbine'
ocean liners in service an the high
seas long before the Cunard vessels
are in the water, Mention should
be made inoideutally of the Tur-
binia, which was launched not very
long ago in Great Britain, and will
soon eross the Atlantic for service
on Lake Ontario, Before many
weeks a large ocean steamer, the
Tasmania, will be dispatched to
Australia, and the Allan line will
place two turbine -driven liners in
the Atlantic service of the com-
pany. Next year, moreover, a tur-
bine -driven Cunard steamer of
about half the tonnage of the 25 -
knot 40,000 -ton turbine ships will
be plying between Liverpool and
the United States. Considering
that the practical turbine is but a
decade and a half old, this must be
considered a remarkably rapid de-
velopment of what is commercially
considered an entirely new type of
steam engine.
DECLINE OF THE TOWNSHIP
FAIR.
Mr. H. H. Cowan, Superinten-
dent of Agricultural Societies, is at
present inquiring into the opera-
tion of township organizations,
which instead of holding an annual
exhibition, use all the Government
grant for the purpose of thorough-
bred stock. This plan has been in
operation in Quebec and the Mari-
time Provinces for several years,
and the department of Agriculture
of the former province has just
written to Mr. Cowan, stating that
it is being carried on with great
success. A meeting was recently
held for the purpose of reducing the
number of annual fairs in Quebec,
and substituting the scheme for
the purchase of stock for the use
of members. Several townships in
Ontario have already made the
change, with apparently, satisfac-
tory. results.
Complaints have been common
that the usefulness of the town-
ship fair has gone very largely.
Mr. Cowan's object is td ascertain
whether it is advisable to advoeate
the other method as a substitute.
TREES AND THEIR HABITS.
An expert nurseryman says the
hardiness of trees depends largely
upon where the seeds, from which
the trees in question sprang, came
from. Satisfactory results are sel-
dom experienced by planting a seed
obtained from the sunny South.
The bonds of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway Compauy are to be
guaranteed by the government to
the extent of three-quarters of the
cost of construction on the Prairie
and Mountain sections and the gov-
ernment will build the Eastern sec-
tion. The company undertakes to
pay the interest on the bonds,
But there is no assurance that the
new railway will ever earn sufficient
to enable the promoters to do this.
In case there is a default, the
country must pay the bills and
look for the money in any direction
other than the railway magnates.
They are not to be touched under
any circumstances. But apart from
the hypothesis that the Grand
Trunk Pacific may default, there is
a serious proposition staring the
government in the face. The com-
pany undertakes to pay three per
cent. interest on the bonds. There
their obligation ceases. Within a
short time the country has been
forced to pay four per cent. to re-
place expired bonds. No man can
say that the money market in the
near future will produce better re-
sults. If the war in the East lasts
any length of time, there is bound
to be a demand for loans that will
give the money market an upward
tendency and Canada will have to
suffer with the rest of the world.
Suppose that at the time the bonds
are floated, the rate is as high as
to -day, what does it mean? This
country is going to be out of pocket
the difference between three and
four per cent. The amount for
which the government is accepting
responsibility will at least reach
the sum of $150,000,000. The in-
terest on that sum at one per eent.
is $1,500,000 per annum. Perhaps
this may be a trifle, but who in
Canada deems himself rich enough
to ignore the magnitude of this for-
tune? This is jest where the
country will stand if the financiers
of the world are inclined to look at
things from their present view-
point. The government, however,
have not even considered it of
sufficient importance to take this
phase of the question into con-
sideration.
--Experiments have recently
been made in France for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the nutritive
value of salt for sheep. Three
groups of sheep were otherwise fed
with the same food, but the first
lot received no salt, each of the
second lot half an ounce of salt
daily, and each of the third lot
three-fourths of an ounce daily
(the ounce being reckoned at about
281 grams). The result was that
1 the cheep of the -second group each
gained in weight 4?- pounds more
than those which received no Balt,
and about I4 pounds more than
those which received over half an
ounce. Moreover, the sheep which
received salt produced 1 . pounds
morewool than those which receiv
ed no salt. The report does not
gate how long the experiments
were continued.

CANADA PAYS THE BILL.
(Toronto Telegram.)
Western Canada needs railways
so badly, and is so crazy for rail-
ways that the people west of Lake
Superior are ready to welcome the
roads, no matter how they come.
The great political sin of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier is that he has al-
lowed this desire for railways to be
perverted to the profit of private
interests instead of being utilized
for the protection of public rights
and promotion of the public good.
The Crow's Nest Pass opportuni-
ty, the MoKenzie-Mann opportun-
ities, and finally the Grand Trunk
Pacific opportunities came to Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, not as the C.P.R.
opportunity came to Sir John A.
Macdonald.
The country's doubt and despair
crippled the railway statesmanship
of Sir John A. Macdonald. The
railway statesmanship of Sir Wil-
frid Laurier crippled the country's
faith and hope. The railway sin's
of Sir John A. Macdonald were
sins born in the darkness of the
country's ignorant infancy. The
railway sins of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
are sins against the light, the
strength, the confidence of the
country's manhood.
Western Canada wants railways
and should get railways. The ex -
pi dienks of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
have made Canada a drudge on the
new highways between east and
west. The principles of public
ownership would have made Can-
ada the master of these highways.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has enjoyed
larger opportunities to promote the
public welfare through railway
construction and has made poorer
use of his opportunities than any
other statesman in Canadian
history.
The Germs Of Catarrh
Not only attack the passages of the
head and throat but finally reach the
lungs and cause consumption. Nothing
destroys catarrh so quickly as fragrant

the cough. stops the discharge, takes all

Oatarrhozoue has no equal as cure for
catarrh and lung trouble writes Jas. E.
