(Canada found another new use fo
the flying machine • this year when fo
the first time, aircraft were etnploye
in connection with the pate-ol of Paci

torched to the Armentieres, which 'wa
on sealpetrol duty for some three
weeks of Aprill, and Vedette' 108 wa
with the Vancouver, which slid patro
work for a similar period in May. 'Un
favorable flying weather ha>i,pere
the operations of the machine with 'th
Armentieres. The weather gods were
kinder later on however, and the sea-
plane with the Vanco'u'ver was in the

e, broke away to a flying start and won
the race in a walk. And the weather
was terrible, which accounts for the
slow time of 10 minutes, three seconds
to negotiate the male and 550 yards
course.
Thousands of persons stood• in a
nasty drizzling rain as the two sculled
slowly to the start, The . wind was
blowing dawnstreant against Bradley
and Pearce. Bat they got away to an
t
excellent start. At the gun, Pearce, as
he always does, „deg deeply and pulled
well ahead, He was a full length in
front at Temple Island, and was gain-
ing at every stroke. Occasionally
Bradley, one of fhe Empire's gamest
oarsmen, spna'ted. Pearce was far too.
good for him, however, and met every
challenge with ease. He finished the
race just as he has finished so many
of them, sitting upright and pulling
easily, with few marks of exhaustion
visible.•
The victory of the Hamiltonian was
the fourth for Canada since the Sculls
were first raced 'in 1844. In 1904, Lou
Scholes of Toronto, defeated H. A.
Cl'ouette of London in 5.28, the fastest
final a Canadian has ever engaged in,
and in 1912'8, Joe Wright, Jr., also of
Taranto, downed R: T. Lee of Ox-
ford, in just one second slower time.
Then last year, Jack Guest, still an-
other Torontoian, defeated G. Boetz-
el'an of Germany in 8.29.
The Diamonds ended a four-day
regatta which has had all the time -
warn and historic features of years.

HIT WITH HAMMER
Back to the good old cave -roan
days, when women did the dirty
work and men sat around or fought
or fished, went Steve Swyrbywus and
Jon Yaborsky.
As a result, Yaborsky went to St,
Michael's Hospital in the police
ambulance with 'blood ' streaming
from .a hammer wound in his head,
and Stvyrbywus was arrested an a
charge of wounding.
They are both Ukrainians, both
aged about 34, and both live with
their wives in a (Beirkeley Street house.
They are both unemployed and the
womenfolk both have jobs which
keep them away from home all day.
Swyrbywus was pressing his pants
and Yaborsky threw the ironing
board out in the yard. Then Swyrby
wus grabbed a .hammer anti .before
Yaborsky could get out of the house
he received a clip over the side of the
head,
.When their wives gat home, Yabor-
sky was in hospital and Swyrbywus
was locked up. So, 'Mrs. Yaborsity

the employ of Mrs. Arthur Daxepe,
Thanes Road, far several months.
While preparing the interior of the
stables for whitewashing on Saturday
he began removing some of the con-
tents. He picked up a bottles .which
unknown to him contained some acid,
the top of which came off. The bottle
fell with a crash, allowing some of the
'contents to splash up in his face, some
of which also came in contact with
his eyes. He was rushed to Dr. Flet-
cher's where, on examination, it was
thought both eyes would be blinded,
but with expert care it is believed that
the sight of both eyes can be saved.

The Trans -Canada Highway Con-
ference 'held at North Bay last week
unanimously carried the following
amendment to a resolution given by
C. 'W. Wright:
'That ,this conference make a re-
commendation to the Government of
Ontario that they build the road from
Sault Ste Marie on to White River
and through to Nipigon, and that the
road be connected up from Hearst to
Hornepayne 'a'nd White River, and for
every mile built between the Soo and
White River, that one mile be 'built
between Hearst and White River:
And that we leave to the Govern-
ment as .to which line they want t -
call the Trans -Canada Highway. Also
that we ark for a road from the
Trans -Canada Highway into Chap -
lean."
During the discussion, which at se-
veral times 'became very heated, four
definite routes were advocated.—,the
Northern route; the Southern route
or shore route supported by the Soo
and Fort William; the compromise
route, offered by G. B. Nicholson, of
Chapleatt, and another route to go
east and west of a road to be con-
structed between Hearst and the Soo.

THE TAPIR.
Forms a Link .Between Elephants
and Swine. '
The tapir is one . of the animals
that form a link between the ele-
ghants and the swine and rhinoceros.
There are two speeies,the American
tapir and the, Malayan tapir, The
American kind is about the size of a
donkey, the body being heavy 'and
powerful and the nose extends into
a long.upper hp, like the end of au
elephant's trunk- It is- covered by a
thick, heavy skin, almost hairless,
and there is almost no tail at all. It
is 'found in thickly wooded Places
along rivers in the fropics,:and is an.
expert swimmer and diver, Its worst
enemy is the jaguar, which. springs
upon its back from the branch of a
tree. The tapir, However, rushes to
the river and dives beneath the sur-
face. The jaguar lets go to ]seep from
drowning, and scrambles. out. Like
all cats, it hates water, while the
tapir is quite at home in it. So the
tapir
P keeps near the rivers, and feeds
upon young branches and wild fruits.
The tapir is easily tamed, it said
.and t Sts about after its trainer like
a dog. It is brown in color and has a
short, erect black mane. The baby
tapirs are beautifully striped and
marked in fawn and yellow on brown,
One can imagine that they would be
delightful little creatures to have
about.
The other species of tapir is a na-
tive of Malacca and Sumatra, and has
a'broacl white band around its body.
The ground color is blank, which col-
oring makes it very conspicuous. It
has no mane, but a longer proboscis
or nose. It is a bit larger than its
Ameriean cousin, and does not swim.
but merely- wades. Tho natives call
It "I'Cudu-Ayer," or "river -horse," Its
bide is useful to Make various things,
but its flesh is practically unedible.
A tapir is a gentle creature and
will not attack unless wounded and
driven to hay, when it will bite vic-
iously. It seldom uses its voice, but
can emit a shrill whistling sound. Its
sight, hearing and scent are keen,
and it feeds at night.
A story is told of a young tapir
captured in the jungle. It was hoped
that the prett7 creature would be-
come tame. It did, beyond the wild-
est hopes of the man who caught it.
It became as playful as a kitten, and
behaved much like one, It climbed
about and thrust its nose into the
faces of sleeping people, walked on
beds and couches, and became a nuis-
ance. As it grew into a large heavy
animal It got impossible, and it was
necessaryto put it back into the for-
est. Its kittenish ways in a creature
of that size were a bit startling, and
at times destructive. So it returned
to its sisters, cousins, and aunts, and
peace was restored in camp.—Animal

THT STEWARTS' FLAG.
Seventeen Men Died For It at the
Battle of Culloden.
It ever there was a tragic bit of
stuff it is the flag which has just
been offered for sale to the Stewart
Society.
Seventeen men died for it at Cullo-
den. It was the flag under which the
Stewarts of Appin fought; and one
after the other gallant men made
targets of themselves by lifting thr
fallen colors from dying men's hands.
At last, in the retreat, n Highlander
saw it lying by the body of the last
standard-bearer, The battle was lost.
but the man could not sbear to think.
that the flag should be lost, and lie
found time to cut it from its staff apo
wrap it round his body before he
escaped.
We know what followed Cullode:t,
many adventures as a hunted fox be-
fore he got to Stewart of Ballachnlieli
and dared to show the flag. It has
been carefully kept by that family
ever since, and now it is expected that
the Stewart Society will hang it 'be-
side the Scottish National War
Memorial,
Even after nearly two centuries
Britain has no tale to surpass the
sadness of Culloden, and not since
then have so many brave men died
for so bad a cause. The tragedy of
it is that most of the Scottish lends
who tools part in the rebellion of
1745 must have foreseen that the
Pretender would neves win tett
crown, and that his defeat wotcld cost
them everything worth living for,
Charles Edward escaped to the con-
tinent leaving his poor followers to
be hanged and his rich ones to be
beheaded.
Those Friday Suporstitiaus,
It is curious that while so man;
people are convinced that Friday is
a day of ill omen, others arc equally
certain that it has every claim to be
considered lucky. In Scotland, for
example, Friday is a great day for
weddings, whereas in England most
brides and bridegrooms do their best
to avoid it
It is difficult to say why the Friday
enthusiasts attribute to the day any
outstanding merits, but we have not
far to seek the reason for those who
regard it unfavorably. It was the
day of the crucifixion. In former
times, moreover, it was the general
custom to arrange that the execn-
tious of condemned men should Lake
place on Fridays. Some say that the
belief in "unlucky Friday" is due to
the mediaeval legend that fairies and
,elves of every description were con-
verted into hideous animals on Fri-
day and remained so until Monday,
Multiplication Still Vexation,
To the rising generation as to the
old, multiplication is apparently still
vexation and the rule of three the
school's chief perplexity. More pupils
failed in mathematics in the New
York high schools during 1929 than
In any other subject, according to the
report of the city superintendent re-
cently issued. In one school more
than half the pupils failed first -term
algebra, while failures in high school
mathematics as a whole totalled 26.9
per cent. On the other hand, less
than 5 per cent. failed In music and
domestic science and 13 per cent, in
English, though foreign languages
demanded .a student toll second only
to. mathematics.

QUEER JOBS FOR FIREMEN
Public Finds a Good Many things
For I'hesn to Do Besides

Though lighting the flames is still
the chief job of the fireman, the pub-
lic flfids a good manyother things for
him to do. Fortunately' for human
ity, no' one calls him ugly names and

And in Mexico City the firemen
were hurriedly summoned, not long
ago, to hold a net under a tall build-

TIN CAN POST.
World's Strangest Island is Nivafon,
In the Pacific.
The world's strangest island 15
Nivafou, which lies in the Pacific
about 300 miles from Fiji. It is ring-
shaped and only three miles in dia-
meter.
Outside the ring the water is, of
course, salt, but within it lies a lake
which Is only slightly brackish. Ne
doubt the island is the crater of a
volcano�a mountain which rises at -
most straight up from the deep ocean
eel. Smaller volcanic craters 11e lin-
en islands within the island itself,
and these ..become active every fifteen
or twenty- years.
S5rangely enough, this queer island
has quite .a .large population. Its in-
habitants number nearly 1,500 Ton-
gans :and a sprinkling of. Europeans.
In rough weather, no ship can
reach Ninaffou, but as a strong cur-
rent sets in towards the shore the
nails are placed in a soldered tin box
and thrown :overboard, to be retriev-
ed by native swimmers, This queer
kind of postal delivery has provided
Nivafou with s. second name. It is
known lamillarly as Tin can island.:
Trees \Vithout Boots.
There is a peculiar kind of tree in
Bombay whose branches have a habit
of turning into trunks, and these are
generally the ]rind that conte down
=luring floods. To all outward appear-
ances the tree looks pretty substan-
tial, but when floods have brougm
one down people are astonished to see
there are absolutely no roots—or if
there were they have become rotten.
Surii trees constitute a real danger
to life and property when they exist
on the sides of roads, and it would
seem desirable to have a thorough
examination of the roots where tln
trees look as though they might fel!
across the roads. Not len ; ago sev-
eral of them fell like ninepins—with-
out any wind either. When they are
