Natural Resources
• Bulletin
The Natural Resources Intekl-
ligence Service of the Depart-
ment of the Interior at' Ottawa
says
In Ontario. there are approxi-
mately 850 saw mills, which are
producing lumber. Fifty of
these are in what is known as
Northern Ontario, and they
produce an average annual cut
of 1,000,000 board feet each.
There are also many portable
mills cutting lumber and rail-
way ties. One-third of the total
lumber cut of the province
comes from the northern por-
tion, about 350,000,000 board
feet annually.
Forest fires have caused
great destruction of timber in
Northern Ontario, where some
of the finest forest lands have
been burned over. As the for-
ests and mines in this portion
of the province, provide a mare
ket for the product of other
parts of Canada to the extent
of $75,000,000 per year,the im-
portance of protecting the for-
ests froth fire should .appeal
strongly both to the employer
and employees ,in the older por-
tions of the province. -
ti DR. RANTING CALLS •
, AT BUCKINGHAM
World's Shyest Genius Has
Delightful Interview With
His Majesty.
A despatch from London says: -Dr.
F. G. Banting, the Canadian discover-
er of insulin, has been received by the.
King. •
Dr. Banting, who has earned by
his abhorrence of publicity while in
London the title of the world's shyest
genius, had nerved himself for an
ordeal, but the King's easy and con-
versational• manner- immediately put
him at his ease, and the interview be-
came a mutual pleasure.
The London newspapers comment
upon Dr. Banting's marked shyness
before the World Congress of Sur-
geons, which he enlightened regarding
insulin treatment.
I " Dr. Voronoff, of rejuvenation fame,
was also a speaker at the same gather-
ing, and the Evening Standard states
that while the latter was a "facile,
fluent master of himself as compared
with Dr. Banting's less command of
words" yet of the two men Dr. Kant
ing is immeasurablythe greater in,
point of actual benefit conferred on
suffering humanity.

Large Increase in Number
of Immigrants to Canada
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
Immigration returns of the Canadian
Government for the first five months
of the present year show a one hun-
dred per cent. increase in immigration
from: the British Isles over the figures
for the same period last year. The
immigration. from continental coun-
tries in Europe •shows an increase of
'71 per cent during the same period,
while there is a decrease of ,83 per
cent.,; in immigration from the United
States.
The figures for the first'flve months
of the present year give cause for
optimism at least and the hope that
Canada has turned the corner es far
as the slump in immigration is con-
cerned.

Francs for Rheims Cathedral
A despatch from Paris says: -The
Empress Eugenie ;of'France, who died
in July, 1920, left 100,000 francs by
will to the French -government to aid
in the reconstruction of Rheims
Cathedral. The Minister of Public
Instruction and Beaux Arts has, just
been authorized to accept this "gift of
-the: widow of Napoleon III.
A despatch from Paris says: -
Since the publication of an offer by
an Italian newspaper man to give one
of kis eyes in case it could be grafted
to a painter who has lost his sight,
there has been a renewed interest in
the efforts to graft eyes.
There have been numerous : sugges=
tions . that soldiers who were blinded
duering the world war might regain
their sight through the sacrifice of
some more fortunate comrade willing
to give up one of his eyes.
Dr. IP aliede, •noted opthalmologist
and formerly collaborator of Dr. Car-
rel, who has made a specialty of graft-
ing operations, says: "The day is not
far ..distant when it will be possible
to graft either an animal or a human
eye onto damaged optic nerves. Steady
progress has been shade in this di-
rection.
"We have often tried grafting the
eye of a young pig or rabbit, but the
results have not been satisfactory. The
_eye thus transplanted retains its lim-
pidity, but within 'a fortnight disin-
tegration begins."
Sawmills to the number of 292,
with a daily capacity of over 9,500,000
feet, were in operation in British Col-
umbia in 1922. In addition there were
108 shingle, plants working with a
daily capacity of 150500,000 shingles;
only 8 mills are reported as shut down.
There ,.were 2,652 , logging operations
operating hi the province during 1922.

PICKS UP MUCH OF
LOST U. S. TRADE.
European Countries Buy from
Canada Rather Than from
the Republic.
A despatch from Ottawa says:-.
Canada is deeply cutting into the Un.
ited States food exports to the United
Kingdom and a number of European
countries. These exports from the Re-
public have so fallen during the last
year that the matter has been made
the subject of a special inquiry with
a view to ascertaining the reason.
For example, it has been found that
whereas hi 1921 agricultural products
formed 78 per cent. of the American
exports to the United Kingdom, in
1922 the proportion fell to 70 per cent,
To Germany these exports formed 84
per cent. of the, total in 1921 and only
78 per cent. last year. In the case of
the Netherlands the reduction was
from 81 per cent. in 1921 to 78 per
cent last year; Belgium, from 77 to
68 per cent.; Italy, from 82 to 79 per
coni hgse reductions took place in,
spite of the fact that the American
exporters have had the amplest of
credits.
The American Government officials
no doubt have had an impression that
Canada has been getting much of the
trade that the Republic has beet. los- ,
ing, and this view is strikingly con-,
firmed by the Canadian eicport figures.
