THE WESTERN CROPS,
C. P. R. 'Report six) s Spring Wheat Is
Doing Well.
A despatch from 11 irinipcg says: The
crop report issued by the C. 1'. It. on
\Vednesday indicates that spring
wheat is doing excellently along the en-
tire system. There has been an abun-
dance of rain and conditions never were
more favorable.
However, from outside sources it is
learned that winter wheat in Alberta Is
bordering on a failure. No rain has
fallen ever since early fall, and the
drouth is already serious. Considerable
portions of winter wheat in molly sec-
tions have been ploughed up and the
land r•esnwn with coarse grains.
A despatch from Medicine (ltd says :
Sunday's ram is estimated to have been
the heaviest fall in a given time ever ex-
perienced in \ledichne Hat district. Re-
ports from the south go to show that
even more rain fell nut in that direction.
This will tend to relieve the drouth pre-
vailing and will greatly benefit the win-
ter wheat crop.

berries and water from brooks. Search

her dog found her, and guided her to a
clearing, where she collapsed. Ile
stayed with her, and finally, by bark-
ing, attracted the attention of the child's
brother, who was among the searchers.
The girl is in a very exhausted and
emaciated condition, and threatened
with pneumonia.

Abroad, the German, Italian, Dutch,
and Swedish Admh•altios have titled
several of their warships with the neces-
sary boiler apparatus to burn oil, white

port Company have a fleet of thirty
steamers that
BURN NOTHING BUT OIL.
As many as 140 steamers that ply in and
out of San Francisco Harbor use Lilly
oil fuel.
But the transformation is most notice-
able with regard to railways in the
United Stales. The vast majority of
them now burn oil in their lcconolivcs.
The Southern Pacific Railway Company
have no fewer than 730 oil -driven loco-
motives, the whole of the raiiways in
Texas and California, and the manufac-
tories, too, have displaced coal by oil.
It shows conclusively that the matter
has long passed the experimental stage.
\Vhat, then, are oil's advantages over
coal?
In the first place, oil cost but one -halt
the price of coal. In a test made with
two steamships of the Ilamburg-Anter•
ican Line, the Silvia and the Sitllonia,
while consuming twenty-seven tons 6f
fuel oil, the vessels travelled the same
distance as was covered when forty -
Iwo tons of coal were burned. The
Austrian -Lloyd steamer Alulissa con-
sumed 23.6 lona; of oil fuel, as against
forty-three tons of Cardiff coal on a
similar trial.

aistance of the catastrophe in the Bear
was such that the light could riot teach
us in less than 300 years. The confla-
gration which was seen and photograph -
e.! in 1901 took place in reality in Eliza-
beth's reign.
These heavenly conflagrations are
brought about in many ways. Let us
censider, for example, our own planet.
\Ve are floating about in space at
a respectable speed -- some 60,000 miles
an hour. A sleeting w it11 another
heavenly body is not impossible. and ac-
cording to observations of the star of
the Bear it was by a meeting, by a vio-
lent collision that the catastrophe ob-
served came about.
IF PLANETS MET.
If two planets such as 0111' own, de-
void of any save reflected light, were
to collide at the huge speed above stat-
ed. the shock would be so great as to
create a flaming sun of such a tempera-
ture that it would continue for many
millions of years in the state of sun or
burning nebula.
A direct collision of this kind, with-
out being impossible, is improbable, but
indirect meetings are very possible

The consequence of the meeting (•f
our earth with a comet are hard to de-
termine, but they would be tragic and
disastrous. The speed of a comet

Planet multiplied by the square foot
of two, which will be found to be about
14,000 miles an hour. If the Mier ,net
us squarely, the collision would lake
place at a speed or 144,00(1 miles an

would depend on the angle.
