The Lost Alantis, of which Plato wrote come 1s to enrich the blood, e d 5 peered about 1300 B.C. For hundreds of years scholars have argued as to whether this country really ;existed or whether it was mere- ly a myth started in ancient times. Plato got his account of the destruc- tion of Atlantis from Solon, who was told of it by the priests of Neit'h, the guardians: of the veiled image of Seals in Egypt. 'DI'S'COVERIES DESCRIBED. Dr. Arthur Berger,- In the "Tege- Matt," gives the following account of Dr. Borchardt's discoveries: "Scholars have tried to vain to de- termine the place where Atlantis sank into the sea. Tremendous amounts of earth were dug up, and the sea was souniled-in vain. Till 'finally the •Ger- man savant, Paul Borchardt, part forth the hypothesis some years ago that At- lantis ought to be looked for some- where near Gabes, in the north of Africa. Again the quarrel of scholars flamed up—and now came recently the report that Borchard�t's hypothesis seems true. He himself writes me: "'The sun stood low on the airy; with my glasses I was able to see dis- cnittly a flat hill which was surround- ed by a.' big circle :which plants had formed in a shallow valley. I started immediately for it, and twenty min- utes later I stood on the hill. It was undoubtedly an old settlement, as the remnants of walls which peeped out of the ground proved. Around me was the above mentioned circular valley My surprise was still greater when I suddenly discovered a second circle which ran concentrically around the first. one. This was no doubt the cit cular plan which Plato had described." "But then came the spectre of doubt. Was he not pehaps'mistalter? Wasn't this all his own imagination? MANY RELICS FOUND. "And again he went out on the next day; this' time the rector of a French school accompanied him. The circular valleys or ditches were known to him; a native shepherd knew even the name for the rhial in the center, which' he called Kair Gallal, which means `water pitcher burg.' Plato wrote 'water burg.' Is it a coincidence or a change of the old name which nowadays does not fit any more? There is no water any more in these ditches. For thou- sands of years the earth has invaded this region, where formerly the sea and the canals and the harbor were. Around this hill one finds huge masses of old broken pots, stone spear points, broken fire stone knives and now and then those bits of walls which seem to indicate that once a big building, per- haps a temple, stood on this place At many places the wandering sand: of the desert has taken away the marks of a former civilization; but at other places there are rather numerous rem- - nants. "Wherever Borchardt rode he met with such traces of an old settlement. There is a fountain spring which, ac- cording to the tales of the natives, is supposed to date back to the clays of the Romans, and everywhere there are fragments of pottery in the gardens of the oases; an entire region is called after these pieces of pottery: Dahret ech Chuga, the 'Hill of Broken Pieces.' The entire country is literally covered wiith ruins and broken fire stone in- struments. n struments. These could not have been carried hero by the winds -in the course of the centuries; they rather must be the relics of a time`when many people lived in this region. This was not the case in historical days, aince there Is no report whatever about a town in this district. Everything else makes one believe that Professor Borchardt actually found the place where once the world -governing Atlantis stood. It is a huge spot, circular, and about five miles wide. FRENCH RECOGNIZE DIS- COVERY. "Anil the scholar concludes in the letter he.wrote to me: "'Plato's Atlantis was not a mere fairy tale, his report did not hint at Southern Spain; but the 'Sea of the Atalantes' is the 'Bahr Atala,' the Tri- tan Sea of Diodorus and the nowadays almost dried up Shott-Djeredti' "Now there was still one question: Would the French, in whose colony this place lies, recognize the discov- ery? Those were days full of worry for the explorer till the director of the archteology department of Tunesia ar- rived. Borchardt explained to him his 'flew of the Matter, showed hint every -- tiring, and—the great moment' came. Professor Poinsot recognized Borch- ardt's discovery unreservedly, and re- ported to the authorities in Berlin that the excavations could start next fall! "There is; no doubt Borchardt found the place where once a huge city stood. sleep, er ln,— au a Orman only way that anaemia can be. over - scholar believes that he has found the n ver s an rs, w e a sa because of their wonderful blood -en- riching and blood -making properties that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have wen such groat success in the treat-, men.t of this often most stubborn dis- ease. Thousands of young girls who were in an anaemic condition owe their pre- sent good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. One of these, 1111ss Katie, Mclllachetn, Port Hood, N,S„ says:— "I praise the day 1 began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had not been feeling well for sumo time. I was very pale, had severe headaches,. dizzy spells, and occasional fainting spells. The least exertion would leave me tired and breathless. In this,conditton I began taking Dr. Wil - llama' Pink Pille. I. continued their use until I had taken six boxes, by which time I was again enjoying good health, I hope my experience will lead other sufferers togivethis medi- oiae a fair trial." If Neu are at all run-down, or weak, you should begin at once to take Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and you win soon be well and strong. These pills are sold by medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Must Develop Empire Markets Need of Forest Policy Few people realize the urgent need which exists for a forest policy in Canada. The economic facts are that ,the forest is second, only to agri- • culture in production of commodity values, and it contributes to -day one- quarter of Canada's total export trade. Therefore, continued depletion of - raw materials, essential to the well- being of the forest industries Is a direct menace to our ,national plies - parity. Empty Spaces of Dominions Need More British People EMIGRATION London Paper Says Prosperity of Workers Depends London.—The. first tangible results; of the post-war trend will be eon in four or five years' time," says the Leto don, Daily Express, "when the recruit- ment of labor will be conslderably de- creased. At the same time, the uew scheme of pensions at sixty-five means an inevitable Gritting down in num- bers at the other end of the labor scale. The immediate result wil be a tak- ing up of the slack in the unemploy- ment line and a sense of well-being throughout the ranks of he employed. Unfortunately the situation will not be allowed to rest there. Under the pressure of the birth control cam- h Deign, unless it is checked, the birth t rate will continue to fall, Fanciful as it may seem, we might eventually come to a labor shortage -a consum- mation to be hoped for only until the 1 full consequences are seen. Even the y prospect of imported labor is not be- ay yond the realm of probabiliti But in the years ahead the pros- perity of the country, and particularly of the industrial workers, depends supremely on one factor—the power r to develop and bold the Empire mar- , leets. To do' that the vast empty spaces of the Dominions must be I populated by a preponderance of the British race, There is no other way. We have. carved our own destiny as a nation - bearing people. We must send out from these islands not thousands but tens: of thousands of our men and wo- men every year. It is the price and opportunity and glory of Empire sitt zonship. Sborn of the Empire—and unless we can people our Dominicans we will not hold them—we sink In importance and power and wealth. until once more our industries will not support the population, no matter how the birth rate has reduced its numbers. These are crude facts presented without elaboration or sentimentalism. But as a people we have never lacked the courage to think in decades rath- er than in days. It is that sense of the centuries, so markedly the British heritage, taut should point the human and national warning of the empty cradle, YES OR NO A parliamentary candidate in a rural district made the following remark in. the coarse of his address: "There is no question in the world which I can- not answer with just 'yes' or 'no'." An old farm laborer jumped up and said "Please, maister, might I ask 'o a question?" Certainly, My good fellow," said the oandldate. "Well, then, maister," said the old farm hand, "what's the time?"

Here, however, lies the fallacy, The Registrar -General's department as colcu)ated that the average expec- ation of life of every child born is,; acoording to the new life tables, 55.6 Seat's for males and 59.8 years for fe- males, which is some seven years onger than the experience of fifteen ears before, and 12 years longer than generation ago. Yet the death -rate s 10.1 per 1,000 of the population 'standardized,' or 11.6 "crude." This gives an average age atdeath on the present population of 80 years on the crude" rate, and nearly 100 on the 'standardized"1 How, then, can the expectation of Ifs figure be reconciled with the aver- age age at death as measured by the present death -rate? It cannot; it is only a question of time before the two figures come more nearly into agree- ment. The. next forty years will prove this contention, More Deaths. The death -rate cannot remain at its present how figure; the greater longe- vity of the population is masking the true position, a longevity which fol- lows a score of years of great health reforms, leaving so much less scope for similar improvement in the future. The most remarkable improvement has been made in the saving of child life; for instance, the "standardized" death -rate per 1,000 of the age -group 0 to 5 years has declined from 66.0 in 1895 and 51,2 in 1906 to 23,3 in 1926. Even if specific cures for the prin- cipal souses of death, such as heart disease, bronchitis, pneumonia, can- cer, diseases of nervous system and tuberculosis, aro found, it remains nothing short of a Utopian idea to ex- pect an average age at death to ex- ceed three score and ten. Eventually a "standardized" death- rate of about 14 per 1,000 (for 15 to 15 "crude" must obtain by which time the birth-rate will, in all probability, have fallen to that figure, if not be- low.

"H.F.H.," in the first number of The Statistician, the c ;an of the Society of Statisticians and Accountauts, writets about an overlooked "fallacy" of the birth and death statistics pub- lished from time to time. "Standard- ized" death -rates are those which would have been recorded if the sex and age constitution of the population had been the same as in 1901. Iie says: Throughout the country, local au- thorities are reporting, with satisfac- tion, rapidly declining death rates. In England and Wales the rate (stand- ardized), per 1,000 of the population has fallen consistently, as the follow- ing figures show: Average; '1871.1880, 20.3; 1881.90, 18.6; 1891-1900, 18.1; 1901-10, 15.2; 1911-20, 13.5; 1921-25, 10.9; year 1926, 10.1. Not so happy though—at least so many people believe -is the compara- tively rapid fall of the birth-rate, which has declined as follows: Average: ,1871.18880, 35.4; 1881-90, 32.4; 1891-1900, 29.9; 1901-10, 27.2; 1911-20, 21.8; 1921-25, 19.9; year 1920, 17.8, The majority of reviewers of the vital statistics find consolation in the fact that tire "survival- rate"—that is the births minus deaths—Is still on the right side. This 'argument is all very well so long•as the death -rate re Ailing Me ;a Timat Poets sing of Spring, but practical - minded people, everywhere, turn at this time to the Doctor and the Druggist for help to build up run-down constitutions.
