Mr. Biuningham stated that : the
number of families coming to the
Province was -exceptionally large.
They 'usually settled upon farins,
and all confidently expected secur-
ing .farms of their own within .the

lvas shown by the fait that during

REQUEST FOR PRAYERS.

The Bishop of London has received.
from 452 clergymen of his diocese a
-request to bo authorized to have
public prayers in their churches for
a peaceful settlement of the issue
between part of Ulster and the rest
of Ireland over the Honie Rule
question. It is expected that the
Bishop will consent, and that the
last Sunday of the year will be

ELEPHANTS USEFUL IN ASIA.
Children Are' Taken Care of by Them
—Children in' Trunks.
In India it is not' an uncommon thing
for the children of a mahout—the
keeper of one or more elephants—to
be cared for by his anitnals,Instances
are not wanting of a mother's sys-
tematic placing of her baby in an ele-
phant's care and within reach of its
trunk while the mother herself goes to
fetch water or to get,wood or mater-
ials to cook the family meal.
It is, pointed- out that no jackal or
wolf would be likely to pick up and
carry off a baby which was tb.us con-
fided to tlfe care of an eleplipnt. Most
people who have lived in the jungle
know how very possible it le for an
animal of the first class to carry off a
baby when it is lying in a hut or when
the mother is unprovided with means
to fight off the marauder.
Children brought up in the compan-
ionship of an elephant become ridicu-
lously familiar with the big pachyderm
and take all manner of liberties with
him, liberties which the elephant
seems to endure on the principle that
they do not annoy him while they
amuse the child.
One ma.y see, it is averred, a little
native child, quite naked, about two
feet high, standing on an elephant's
bare back and taking it down to the
water to bathe, vociferating all the
while in most unbecoming terms of
native abase.
On arriving at the water, the ele-
phant ostensibly in obedience to the.
child's command, hes down anden-
joys himself, leaving just a portion of
his body, like a small island, above the
water: Upon this part of the -elephant
the child will stand and shout, yelling
all the more if he has several com-
panions of his own age also in charge
of elephants, all wallowing in the
water around him. If the child should
slip off his island the elephant's trunk
immediately replaces -him in safety.
These archins, when they grow up,
become assistants to the mahouts, and
in time eventually attain the dignity
of becoming mahouts themselves.,
1.0,593 CIVIL SERVANTS.
Superannuation Allowances Total
Nearly $5500,000.
A despatoli from Ottawa says:
The total number of permanent offi-
cials in the pay of. the Federal Gov-
ernment at the en<l of the last fiscal
year, according 10 a blue book pub-
lished on Thursday, wag 10,593, and
the total amount paid in salaries
was $11,640,813, During the year
63 civil servants were superannuat-
ed, the annual superannuation al-
lowance totalling 353,240. N'early.
half a million dollars per year -are
now paid from the Federal Trea-
sury in superannuation on retire-
ment fund allowances.

Had Remarkable Memory,
..One of the most astonishing memo;
nic feats on record is recorded by John
Wesley. "I knew a man about twenty
years ago," writes Wesley, "who was
so thoroughly acquainted with the
Bible that if ho was questioned as to
any Hebrew word in the Old or any
Greek word in the New Testament he
would tell after a little pause, not
only how often the one or the other
occurred in the`Bible, but also what
it meant in every place. ' His name
was Thomas Walsh. Such a master
of Bible knowledge I never saw be-
fore, and never expect to see again."
Walsh had a close rival in Macaulay,
who, according to James Stephen,
could repeat all Demosthenes by
heart, and all Milton as well as- a
great part of the Bible," '•

FORESTRYFACTS.
Issued By the Dominion Forestry
Branch. ,
There are more than one hundred
tree species found in Canada, of which
only thirty are conifers. Yet these
latter constitute Canada's chief timber
wealth. Of these coniferous trees, or
"evergreens,” spruce easily takes first
place, constituting over ono -third of
the lumber and three-quarters of the
pulpwood eut in Canada In 1912. Four
of the five species of spruce are of
commercial importance, and at least
two of these five are found in every
province of the Dominion.
This sunnner an expert soil analyst
was engaged by the Forestry Brandi
of the Dominion Government to sub-
stantiate the findings of the forest
surveyors in cases where there was
any doubt as fo the non-agricultural
character of forest areas to be
reserved.
A novel use has been found for the
waste liquor from sulehite pulp mills,
as a binder for cinders and similar
materials used in the construction of
tennis courts.
That sawdust and other mill waste
can be profitably manufactured into
briquettes for fuel is evident from'1110
fact that a largo lumber company in
British Columbia is erecting a $50,000
plant, which will have a daily output
of about thirty tons of such briquettes.

work is often made easy by the
squirrels, which store large quantities
of green cones in holes for use in
the winter months, The Rangers
spread out the cones in some dry place,
and, when the scalee open, the seeds
are shaken out, and the following
spring the best of tiloni are planted.

PURE AIR AND IMPURE.
Not So Bad to Breathe Foul Air,
Says English. Physiologist.
Fresh air fiends will get Iittle
support for their propaganda in
the views of Professor, Leonard
Hill, an English physiologist, He
maintains that bacl air is not so
very bad, alter all. He says it is
an erroneous idea that the air of
,loos, crowded rooms '1s contami-
nated by the exhalations of human
beings and is impoverished of hxy-
gen.
It is the heat in a close room that
makes us feel uncomfortable, not
the lack of oxygen or the surplus
of carbonic acid in the air, accord-
ing to the professor. The only ef-
fect of an excess of carbonic acid—
supposed to be very poisonous—is
to make us breathe deeply and ven-
tilate our lungs more. fully, As for
the logs of oxygen in a close room,
"it is never diminished by more
than one per cent., for the cracks,
crannies and pores of the walls al-
ways suffice to let fresh air in."
However that may be—and a lay-
man should hesitate to dispute a
scientist—it can hardly bo denied
that pure outdoor air tastes and
smells much better than the air in
even a, ventilated room. One may
be as wholesome as the other, as
far as its constituents are cohcern-
ed,' but most folks will prefer air
that has not been breathed in and
out too often. In the popular mind,
,not in scientific fact, headaches
and 'drowsiness are closely associ-
ated with impure air.
