MANURE IN THE ORCHARD. A very important requisite in the orchard is barnyard manure. Some rely on the plowing down of cover crops to provide tho necessary hu- mus and maintain the supply of plant food, but, frequent applica- tions of manure are advisable. It can be applied at almost any time of the year to advantage. If put on during winter, or early springy!, "I purchased a bottle of Scott's Emulsion and im- mediately commenced to improve. In all, I think I took 14 bottles, and my weight increased from 133 pounds to 184 pounds in less than six months. I know from personal results the efficacy of Scott's Emulsion."—FRED. R.

The property is now held in trust by a prominent member of Parliament who will personally sign all receipts and will direct the development work. The OBJECT is to take ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000) provided for in the Syndicate to prospect the claim carefully as soon as the snow goes. If the property develops, as we believe it will, the Syndicate will form a Company and sell Treasury stock to raise money for further develop- ment, which will give each Member of the Syndicate a substantial holding at first cost, and if it makes n success there will certainly be a large profit for each holder. If the Syndicate aro not satisfied with the property after expending the money they will sell and secure as much as possible. OU'it ll)I':A is that a proposition of this kind is the best possible investment in that ('amp today. We like the l,-cality and have strong faith in this property. FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00) invested in this manner on the greund floor in "TEMiSKAMING,' "CROWN RESERVE," "HUDSON BAY," or many properties in "COBALT" would have made enormous profits, and fortunes have been made in the manner we are offering this Syndicate. "BAitTLETT," "MANN," "REEVES-DOi1IE" and many other well known properties in "GOW GANDA" aro situated South of this C'laitn on the same kind of formation. How- ever, this is purely speculative.

Tom Saville is a widely known, well -liked, thorough -going experienced pr'spector. When this Company was organized with the low capitalization of $500,- 000, par value $1, of which 300,000 shares are Treasury, Tom Saville accepted 200,000 fully paid shares for three splendid claims described as Mit. 8.14, Silver Lake District ; M.R. 1075, and M.R. 1074, Miller and Gow Ganda Lake Districts. These three claims are located in areas of proven silver richness in the immediate vicinity of well known claims of demonstrated value. Tom Saville has also signed a contract with the Company to give his exclusive services without salary for one year. Ho is now prospecting in a new silver district, and all the results of his efforts during the coming year will become assets of this Company.

HOUR GLASSES of superior quality at one time con- tained not sand but egg shells, which finely powdered and kiln dried formed a material less sensi- tive to atmosphere moisture. Of probably still greater antiquity than the hour glass was the clepsy- dra or water clock, of which wo know of several forms. One of the simplost was the .Hindu's copper basin pierced with a small hole in the bottom, which placed in a vessel of water gradually filled and sank at the appointed time. Moro elab- orate forms were known in Europe and Egypt. Though varying somewhat in con- struction the principle a1 each was the same, a "(.oat." This was either placed in a full cylinder from which the water gradually escaped by a holt in the bett u—usually bored in a pearl as being less liable to erosion by the constant flow ; or in an empty vessel to which water was admitted from above. In both varieties the float, falling or rising as the case may be, pointo;I the scale of hours (narked upon c set's side. The float someti took the form of a miniature boa in which the pointer was an out stretched oar. Clepsydra such as these were used in the Athenian courts of law and had a special officer in charge, ono "water" apiece being allowed to plaintiff, defendant and Jct during the reading of any d• merits which bore upon the case the flow was stopped. A clepsydra which in its action and appearance foreshadowed the modern clock carried upon its float an upright rod which acted on a toothed wheel and TURNED A II.\ND UPON A DIAL. But the precursor of both the sand glass and the clepsydra was without doubt the "gnomon" of the sun dial ; a simple rod which, stand- ing upright in a sunny place, meas- ured fink's passage by its moving shadow on the ground.
