ALBERTA MINERS CARRY OUT TOOLS Edmonton Coal Operators' Strike May Affect Ontario Shipment. A despatch from Edmonton, Alta., says:—With the termination of the old agreement between Edmonton thine operators and the district minors' fed- eration at midnight Tuesday a strike was virtually put into elect by the men's organization es the result of failure of negotiations between the two parties to arrive at a settlement for a new rate on a reduced scale, I Tuesday afternoon, on concluding work, the men in the four Edmonton mines carried out their tools aiid there' has been no opportunity to negotiate' again between the parties since owing to the holiday on July 1. Inquiry at the mines showed that no men had re- ported for work and it was not known' just when negotiations would take place again. Operators are in no hurry• as at this time of the year the trade is very slack, anti they are firm against continuing the old agreement for one month to meet the Ontario trial shipment as they :tate that their particular share is not :o very great, being merely 4,000 tons. The first word of any trouble with strikers in mines in this field comes from the Ottwell mine at Cloverbar. The mine manager of that place re- ported to the provincial police that his MOD had been assaulted by pickets on proceeding to work. The men who have been assaulted have been asked to lay information, when prompt action will be taken against the offenders.

The report from Cologne states the reported French troop withdrawals from the Bochum zone are unfounded, and the only movements in the entire zone are those of es ops returning from manoeuvres to old quarters, Another Historic London Mansion on the Market A despatch from London says:— The impoverishment of some of Great Britain's old nobility is again empha- sized in the announ e nt that the Dowager Duchess of Rutland, whose husband died on May 8 is offering for sale the mansion in Arlington Street which has been the town rest dence of the Dukes of Rutland for 200 years, The duchess is residing in a four - room lodge at the entrance to the man- sion : matt, shefinds a small house. "Paradise Regained" Followed Death of Milton's Wife A despatch from Berlin says:— The following is being currently cir- culated as an answer to a question put to a student at the University of Hamburg: The professor of English literature asked the student: "What do you know about Milton?" The student replied: "Milton was a famous English poet, who married, and then wi ote 'Paradise Lost.' His wife died, and then he 'wrote 'Paradise Regained,' "' Queen Mary's Millinery is Showing Gradual Change A despatch from London says:— Queen Mary is gradually altering the shape of her hats. Although still mainly faithful to the small roque, she has recen •ly been seen u, a taller shape with somewhat wider trim- mings. The Queen does not, however, follow the prevailing fashion of wear- ing the hat low on her forehead, but pats it en in the old way, straight down on the top of he' head instead of from the back of her hair. She is also fond of ciouks and wrap coats, says a society observer, and the. picturesque style She now wears suits her very well. She has a great pre. judiee against black end avoids it except for strict mourning. Iti this she is it, contrast to Queen Victoria, who enjoyed being• swathed in folds of crepe, and wore mourning for the most distant :relative. Shoemaker's Gift to Science. A hundred years ago William Stur- geon, a poor ehoetuaker, and for some time a private soldier in the Royal Ar- tillery, invented the electromagnet. Describing Sturgeon's invention in a' l:aper read at is mooting of the Royal Society of Arts, Prof, J, A. Fleming I said that. Sturgeon, though weighted' with gravy disadvantages from lowly • birth and Imperfect education, was re- marlcai>le for his great abilities and his ottl,nsia:•ni as au electrical in- vestigator. lie gave to science an imperishable donation in tate electromagnet, which in some fate or another was the fun- damental element in the tlyniutio, near- ly every telegraphic instrument, the telephone, the loading coil and the electric bell.

Ct Thnt they bring trade to the city cannot be doubted, but they also bring ys' trade to fanners and others. For in - 'stance, there is the provisions thatrobabl a they consume. It is can- probably possible to compile a statement of what this Consumption would be, using. the ex- perience of large cater,rs as at>asis. The quantity of farm products must be enormous, however, ! Last year there were 361,630 motor cars entered at Canadian customs ports for the purpose of remaining in the country for from two to thirty ( days, 2,344 for from one to six months, and 1,534,886 for one day only. If those cars brought in an average of but two persons each, and that the 361,630 cat's that remained in Canada from two to thirty days, as an ex- ample, averaged seven days, they would require -15,188,400 meals, Think E of the quantities of cereals, hate and bacon, eggs, milk and butter, meats and poultry, fruits and vegetables, etc., that would be. reindeer] fur these meals. These would all have to be purchased from the farmers, and would make a very large total revenue. There is the further facet that a very considerable portion of the expendi- tures of tourists among urban busi- ness people finds its way back to the farm, in that this revenue is ,toed by theme to purchase the necessaries for themselves and their femi:iec. It will be seen from the above that our farming interests have a very $irect connection with the rapidly growing tourist traffic, end should de what they can, by courtesy and assist- ince.when needed, to melee our visi- tors feel that they are ave:c•ome... - Hearing With Your Eyes! You do not need your ears to enable you to listen to an ordinary conversa- tion. It does not matter which sense lconv.eys the sound to the brain— whether it is that of hearing or of I sight, People who have been quite deaf for 'litany years need only careful study to enable then to follow the softest voice. ! Quite recently, an ex soldisa' who had had both ear -drums destroyed in an explosion met a comrade ho bead not seen for twelve years. They spent the fast of the day together. and the sea land man did not discover that lila friend was deaf, so normally was the conversation carried on.

A despatch from Oslo, Norway, says :—Roald Amundsen, leader of the aerial expedition which recently at- tempted to Beach the North Pole by planes from Spitzbergcn, is making triumphant progress down the west coast of Norway. The steamer Albert W. Selmer, on which the explorers are passengers, passed Aalesund at eight o'clock Thursday morning and are due to pass Bergen about midnight, At every port large numbers of beflagged boats with cheering crowds on them met and accompanied the Selmer. At Aalesund, Mrs. Hageman, sister of Lief Dietrichsoa, one of Amend- sen's pilots, presented Amundsen with a bouquet of red Norwegian roses. The leader of the expedition and his companions have been greatly touch- ed by the popular demonstrations. London to Send I.J.S. Mail to Continent by Airplane A despatch from Washington says:—Postmaster General New an- nounced the acceptance of an offer from the British postal administration for the transmission from London by air mail of American trans-Atlantic steamship mails destined for contin- ental Europe, Morocco and western Algeria. The new system is expected to save considerable time. By the addition of an air mail fee to the international letter rate of postage Americans now may. send ordinary and registered letters and articles fully prepaid to the following countries; France, four cents per ounce additional; Germany (except occupied districts), Switzerland and Italy, six cents additional; Denmark, Norway and Sweden, eight cents ad- ditional, and Morocco and western Al- geria, five cents additional. The let- ter rate and air mail fee must be fully prepaid by postage stamps affixed to each piece. Letters must be plainly marked in the upper )eft hand cor- ner with the words: "Air mail—Lon- don to Continent" Many Britons Expect Prince to Marry After Present Tour A despatch from London says -A good many Britons never tire of=isle- ing themselves when the Prince ofWales is to marry. In connection With the celebration of the prince's thirty- first birthday, recently, it has been t recalled that his royal father married at the age of twenty-eight, and that his grandfather, the late King Ed- ward, was only twenty-two when he mart -kit the beautiful "Sea Ring's daughter from over the sea," Alexan- dria, who survives him. While' there are many in, England who are of the opinion that the ,Brit- ish heir never will marry, and admit- ting that he has not centred his atten- tions upon any particular girl of late, there his, nevertheless, increasing be- lief among the know-it-alls that upon the completion of his African and South American tour,: the prince will turn his thoughts toward matrimony. Population of Australia Cannot Equal Cana A despatch from I.ondnn sa Australia will never equal Canada's future population, according to tinguished Australian, because it not support as many people. Accord- ' ng Post cable from Sydney, Dr. Griffith Taylor, in a fore- cast of the future distribution of the world's population is of the opinion that Europe's total capacity is 400,: 000,000; North America's, 700,000,- 000; and South Africa and Australia, each 70,000,000. Austyaria -does not possess soils with heavy rainfalls, similar to the rich deltas of India and China, where there is remarkable density of popu- lation, The population of the United States in the 19th century spread fairly rapidly across the continent until it reached the 20 inch rainfall, That line for many years separated the dense population front the sparse and that provided the clue for Aus- tralin, where there hue been very, lit- tle advance beyond tho 20 -inch rain- fall line. The wetter parts of Aus- tralia will no doubt 1111 up before there is much increase in the population of the more arid parts. Old Hens Respond to Thyroid Gland Treatment Old hens for pot boiling may dis- appear from the market, now that Dr. F. A. E. Crew, of Edinburgh Univer- sity, has assured scientists that by ad- miniatoring thyroid to chickens ]tri can make hens lay eggs as long as they are able to cackle, says a London 'despatch, . At the British Poultry Clubs con- ference at Wembley Dr. Crewe said thyroid gland was administered to old hens months ago, with the result that Some which had laid only from twenty-1five to thirty eggs during the pre -I four years laid well over 100. eggs while favored with this treat meet, • The Edinburgh scientist also said there is reason to believe that ex- posuie to X-ray treatment was fol- lowed by a significant increase in the percentage of female chicks.
