The cast plate -glass of which mir- rors, shop windows, and such things are made, is prepared from the whitest sand, broken plate -glass, soda, a small proportion of lime, and a much smaller amount of maganese and eo- balt oxides. The glass, when perfectly melted, is poured upon' au iron table of the size required, and the thickness is re- gulated by a strip of iron placed down each of the four sides of the table. Immediately after it is poured out, the molten substance is flattened down by an iron roller, which lowers the glass to the thickness of the strips at the sides.

Sir Arthur Yapp told a good story at the National Liberal Club in Lon- don when he was handed a cheque for $1,000, subscribed by members to wipe off the Y.M,C.A. deficiency on its war work. A soldier returned from Mesopo. tamia with the delusion that he was completely without money—"not an unreasonable delusion in these times," as Sir Arthur remarked—and wrote a letter asking the Lord to send him £10 to help him out. The letter was delivered to the War Office, and the clerks there were so touched by the appeal that they subscribed £7 and sent it to the man in hospital. He then wrote a second letter: "Dear Lord, Thank you very much for the money you sentme, but if you send any more don't send it through the War Office, as they have stopped £3 of what I asked for. Send it, please, through the Y.M,O.A. Mlnerd's Liniment Relieves Colds, Ete. Remedies Discovered by Accident It was simply through the mistake of an assistant in Oiling a bottle with anisel instead of anise oil, that Pro- cessor Fraenkel discovered a prepara- tion which absolutely destroys the in- sect which carries the germ of spotted fever or typhus. This is by no means the only case of,i remedy discovered purely by =- dent an elderly parishioner whom he had not seen for some time, the rector of a Norfolk, England, parish, was• astonished to anti that the old gentleman, who previously had; possessed a pate as shiny as a billiard ball, now displayed a fine Drop of hair, The rector very naturally inquired how this seeming miracle had come about, and was informed that it was the result of a certain ointment for rheumatism, "You see, sir," said the old fallow, "I have rheumatism in my leg, and. after I rubbed the olutment on my leg I wiped my bands on my bald heed. Soon the hair began to grow, and now, after being bald for thirty years, I have a fele )hatch ugein." The remedy, it is said, has already been put upon the market under an- other name. The nae of snake poison in certain skin diseases was fleet proclaimed to the medical world by a Brazilian scientist, Dr. de Moura. Happening to visit an Indian village, he saw there a man who, by marks en hie body, had evidently suffered from a peculiarly terrible form of skin disease, and one regarded as incur. able. Yet the man was apparently in good health. He made inquiries, and the sufferer told him that, a year previously, he had been dying feom this disease when he was accidentally bitten by a pit viper, This started De Moura on expert- monte with snake venom, which have since Neese to he of great value In many akin diseases, and which, it is said, will even arrest the progress of leprosy, Professor Rontgen's X-Itays, one of the greatest benefits over conferred on suffering man, afford stili another ire:fence of accidental discovery, Become.

Montreal to Vancouver Route Nearest Approach to All - Canadian Road. Despite- the tremendous influx to Canada every summer of thousands of American tourists (many by automo- bile) and that the returns from tourist traffic are estitnated by the executive secretary, North West Tourist Aerie - elation, to constitute the Dominlou'8 fourth principal source of revenue, Canada possesses no trans -continental highway, in contrast to the seven separate coast-to-coast systems exist- ing in the United States. Although Canadian highways and motor roads are admirable ones and receive con- tinual Government and municipal at - f tention, and are especially well main- tained in such holiday -seeking centres as the National Parke the playground of the Rocky Mountains, the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and the sec- tions served by the Toronto -Hamilton and Montreal -Sherbrooke highways, there has been no single system whereby the traveller can journey throughout the whole Dominion. The i project was mooted and strenuously advocated by the various provinces under different names before the war, was shelved in the stress of hostili- ties, proposed again as a permanent Canadian national war memorial, and . is now likely to come into being very shortly. ° The King's International Highway. Tho latest project which seems like- ly to be adopted is that of this "King's International Highway," the shortest and most feasible route between Montreal and Vancouver and the near- est approach to an all -Canadian high- way. This has been mapped out and surveyed to pass through Ottawa, elattawa, North Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Duluth, Winnipeg, across - the prairie to Macleod, Crow's Nest Pass, Fernie, Cranbrook, thence to Spokane, Seattle and Vancouver. The value of a national motor high- way across Canada to the Dominion, as well as to tourists from other lands, can be well appreciated) from the fact that in 1010 the registration _, of cars in the Dominion neared the 400,000 mark, showing 67,000 new car owners, and the number is expected this, year to reach the half million total. 3,370 Miles in Length, The King's International highway, which would be 3,370 miles in length from the Canadian metropolis to the Pacific coast city, runs 8.0 avt'iage of 200 miles north of the "Yellowstnne Trail," and 600 miles north of 11e "Lincoln Highway." For 800 miles the northern route funs close to the Great, Lakes, receiving their mitigat- nig influences on the summer climate. i The Canadian route will have this {advantage to offer transcontinental motorists over the National routes of 1 the United States, that while the routes across the line inevitably, for i some portion of their distance, tra- verse a sandy, desert -like country, et once uncomfortable and lacking scenic interest, the Canadian route has, in its every mile, something of interest and attraction, the country through- out being productive and naturally adorned.

I'ra Angelico was the first painter who ventured to depict angels of the gentler sex. This was deemed a bold and uunce entlfic innovation by churchmen of his time, inasmuch as it had always been understood that there was leo such thing as a female angel. As a matter of fact, there is no authority for lady augele except in tut. Modern pictured angels, however, are nearly, all of the female persua- sion; and it will be noted that usually they are blondes. But,;the archangels are invariably represented as of mala sex, Among all the celestial hosts, only the seven archangels are known as individuals and by name. These, as named in the Bible, are Michael, Ga- briel, Raphael, Dilet, Jophiel, Channel and Zadkiel. Michael is the captain general and leader ot the heavenly armies. It was be who conquered Satan and drove him with his rebellious legions, out of Heaven. He is understood to have been in command of theband of angels who, in obedience to divine orders, performed the; work of constructing tho univeree. 1n painting he is repro - minted with a pair of scales, which he will use on the day of judgment to weigh the souls of the dead. Gabriel, the angel et the reinuclt• tion; has in his charge the celestial treasury, Raphael Is chief of the guardian angels, whose business it is to look out for the welfare of man- kind.
