A Toad Story
One day, my fathor,,sieter,, and I
were out in the, garden, watching a
little toad.
My father took a„. little sick, and
very, very gently scratched one gide
of the toad and then the other.
The toad seemed to like it, for he
would roll Prem side to side and wink,
I was so interested that when: they
went in, I took the stick, and did as.
my father had done. I thought If he
rolls from side to. gide as I 'touch
a him, What would be do it I ran the,
stick down iris back?
I did so; and what do you think
happened? His skin, which was thin
anddirty, parted in a neat little seam.
There was a bright, new coat be-
low: -
Then my quiet little toad showed
how wise he was. He gently and
carefully pulled 'off his outer skin.
He took it off the body and his legs
first, and then, blinking• over his eyes,
till where had it gone? He had roll-
ed it into a ball and swallowed .it.- .
Sea Birds
The question is often asked,
"Where do sea birds obtain fresh
water to slake their thirst?" But it
has never been 'satisfactorily' answer-
ed until recently. An old skipper
has told how he, has seen these birds
at sea, far from any lana that could
furnish them water, hovering around
and under a storm -cloud, clatterin
like ducks on a hot day at a pond,
and drinking in the drops of rain as
they fell. They will smell a rain
squall a hundred miles distant, -or
. even further off, and scud' for it with
almost inconceivable swiftness.
How long sea birds' can exist with-
out water is only a matter of conjec-
ture, but probably their powers of
enduring thirst are increased by
habit, and possibly they go without
water for many days, 1f not for sev-
eral weeks.
Temper Sign Boards
In a Japanese temple there is fix-
' ed a wooden frame filled 1n with
nails. Wben_.a man Is vexed with
anyone, instead of going to harm the
person, he pays the 'priest a certain
sum of 'money for a nail and drives
It into the frame. In this way he re-
lieves his temper without doing muck
harm. It would be a good idea to
have similar frames fixed up in our
nurseries, sothat when little boys
and girls were inclined to be a trifle
naughty they could take some nails
and hammer them Into these frames
till all the bad temper disappeared.
Energy
The longer I live, the more deeply
am I convinced' that that which makes
the difference between one man and
another, between the weak and pow-
erful, the great and -insignificant, Is
energy, invincible determination, a
purpose once formed, and then death
or victory.—Powell Buxton.
Belief in Self
To believe in oneself is the mark of
a wise man. To believe only in one-
self is the, mark of a bore. To believe.
only in others is the mark of a futile.
Idealist. To believe neither in one-
self norin others Is :the mark' of a
tool.

Why Did London Carry. Mond Up
to 43
The buying that carried Mond Nick
The buying that carried Mond
Nickel up to 43 when the big rush in
the market was on is attributed to
have come from London. In view at
this, the puzzle remains unsolved,as
to why the stock bas sold off to 31,
with International at around. 175. The
apparent answer is that Mond and
International Nickel will get share and
share alike in the ,new company to
be formed, after International Nickel
shares have been split 6 for I.. This
would mean,' of course, that Inter-
national sharps . should sell at a price
six times that of Mond.
While International shares are hold-
ing to -day around 175, Mond shares
have been moving up gradually and
went above 33 recently. If Lon-
don interests, and they were import-
ant; were not .entirely fooled, there
may be something left unsaid.
Suppose that when the basis of
the merger is announced it was found
that Mond shareholders would be
given 13y shares in the holdingcom-
pany for each share held and Inter-
national shareholders 1 split share.
This would mean that Mond shares
should -have a valuation of something
better than 43.
The matter of a basis for the mer-
ger raises another question. Is In-
ternational Nickel asit stands to -day
worth • 6 times as much as Mond
Nickel, having regard to physical as-
sets, earning power net current as-
sets, plant and capital, etc.

Teck Deep Program Well Advanced
It will be about six months before
Teck -Hughes starts the aotuaI open-
ing up of its ore zone on the six new
levels, 20th to 25th, inclusive, accord-
ing to the Northern Miner. The shaft
is now down below the 21st level,
large 40 -foot stations have been cut
at the 20th and 21st levels and at the
present rate of progress the first stage
of the present shaft sinking program
should be completed in five :months.
On all the levels the zone can largely
be looked for less than 100 feet from
the shaft. At the 19111 level the ore
was 90 feet from the shaft and it is
expected that it will be about 200
feet on the 25th level. Tho 25th will
be a little over 3,000 feet verticg"1
depth.
Below the 19111 level a crushing sta-
tion and Ioading facilities were pre-
pared for during shaft -sinking. It is
calculated that one-third of the work
of getting from the 19th to 25th level
is already done.
