FORESTRY CONVENTION.
—
Annual Meeting Will Re Held at
Victoria, B.C., Sept. 4, 5 and 6.
A despat,ch from Ottawa says:
The fourteenth annual convention
of the Canadian Forestry Associa-
tion for the reading and discussing
of papers, and the passing of reso-
lutions based thereon, will be held
upon the invitation of the Govern-
ment of British Columbia in the
City of Victoria, B.C., on Wednes-

est in this convention, and Will ad-
dreas the delegates upon this sub-
ject which is now the uppermost
one in British Columbia. While
papers and addresses will naturally

fined to this, and in every way the
convention will be national in char-
acter and embrace every part of
Canada.
PRAIRIE REPORTS.
•
Harvesting Will be General by Last
Week of August.
A despatch from Winnipeg says:
The crop report on Wednesday cov-
ering the three Prairie Provinces is
most gratifying, the feature being
the remarkable progress made in
the last two weeks. The grain is
filling well. The barley harvest has
started at most points. Fall wheat
in Alberta is largely in shock, and
the old fields of spring wheat are
already cut. Harvesting will be
general from August 12th to 22nd,
the 15th' being the clate•given when
the majority' of points will com-
mence. It. means that with aver-
age harvest weather the great bulk
of the crop will be of contract grade.
Should the West produce two hun-
dred million bushels of hard wheat,
as there seems every probability it
will, it means that this season's
crop of Western Canada will the
dominating factor in the world's
markets.

ELECTRICITY FOE OF HUNGER
Currents in "High Frequency" to
Take Place of Food.
A despatch from Paris, France,
says: Hunger is shortly to be abol-
ished by electricity. Such is the
prophecy of Professor Begonie, who
has explained the method to the
Gongress of the Society for the Ad-
vancement of Science, now in ses-
sion at Nimes. Bergonie recalled
the experiments of Professor Ber-
thelot, who claimed that within a
generation steaks and other foods
would be replaced by small pills
containing the necessary chemical
constituents to sustain life. Ber-
gonie added that what chemistry
had not accomplished electricity
will achieve through "high fre-
quency treatment." Therefore we
may shortly be Ordering five electric
currents at intervals of seven sec-
onds instead of soup.
COUNTERFEIT BILLS.
Crude Fakes of $1 and $2 Notes
Haae•Been Circulated.
A despatch from Toronto says:
Counterfeits of Canadian Govern-
ment one -dollar and two -dollar
notes have been put in circulation
in Toronto and Hamilton. The
police have come across a few of
the bad bills, and are on the look-
out for more of them, and for those
who are sending them out. Only a
few are as. yet known to have been
put in Toronto, but it has been
learned that quite a number have
made their ampearence in Hamil-
ton. The bills are very easy of de-
tection. They are photographs of
the eriginals on paper of a much
more inferior quality than the true
notes. The greens and blacks on
the etchings are not of the same
strong tones as those of the origin-
als, but appear washy, especially
the greens.

A despatch from Ottawa says:
The Mines Branch of the Govern-

stration of the commercial possi-
bilities of peat as a fuel in Canada
had been successfully completed,
and that henceforth the activities
of the branch wou'd be applied in
another direction, probably the OLIO-
.
nonne production and testing of
fuel, concerning which the depart-
ment already has a man in tl..e
West. The peat industry in Can-
ada will now become a matin;' of
private enterprise. There are two
big plants under construetion, 'Cale
at Alfred, Ont., and another at
Farnham, Que., which are expected
to supply Ottawa and Montreal and
possibly.ether cities with cheap fuel.
Their capacity is about 30,000 tons
