He wo not endure reproof and became =t only insubordinate but actually an cher to mutiny. For this he it flogged and dismissed front tis s and became the slave of a slave de er on an island off the west coast Africa, Without shelter or proper food, t meanest .drudge inthe meanest bis ness in the world, subject to the da abuse of the negro mistress :of t slave dealer, he kelt himself from g i ng to utter destruction by the r menrbrance of a sweet-faced girl England, Mary Catlett, to whom had pledged himself when sevente years old. He remembered his gear try, and drawing his, diagrams in t sand he worked out Euclid's elenten acrd deductions from them, and so preserved his reason. In after life he wrote: "I.reuteurb that on sonic of thus: mournful da which I spent on that African ie,lan T was busied in planting lemon tre . lily piaster and ,his blade mielres passing by my place, stopped a wii to look at nit; at last, 'Who know said he, 'but by the time these tre grow up anti bear, you may go bac to England, obtain the command a ship, and return to reap the fru of your labors?"

Ketnpis' immortal wort., "The Im itation of Christ," which he head of ter his fifteen months sercitucle wit avidity, and which changed the whol. current of his life. A terrible storm came on, the steer ing of the ship, which speedily be came water-logged, devolved opo him, destruction loomed up, and h tented to prayer. "T could not utte the prayer of faith," he wrote, " could not draw near to a reconcile Father. i\Iy prayer was like the cr of the ravens, which yeti the Lor sloes not disdain to hear." Hisc.r3 was heard, for the storm was stilled Then came the danger of starvation but he persisted in prayer. He begat to study a New Testament, and he found that through obedience and suffering of Jesus Christ, God's mer cy and justice could and would pardoi sin. V John Newton reached England a last, a humble, penitent Christian, to find -Mary Catlett awaiting him, and also a fair . sunt of money he had in- herited, He married, ` and for six years sailed his own ship—most of the time as a slaver—Studying; his Bi- ble,. theological and, classical books, all of his spare time. At. twenty-nineyears of age he left the sea, and spent nitre years more in England learning Hebrew and Greek as well as other languages and spend- ing much time with the celebrated George Whitfield and John- Wesley.

Newton will always be remember ed for his notable hynen, esteemed one 'of the finest in our language: "How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds," and "Glorious things of Thee are spoken," the only jubilant hymn of praise in the Olney book. The last part of his life from 1780 to 1807 he spent as Rector of the im- portant church of St, Mary's Wool Meth, London, always the busy sec- cessful parish worker, eager theolo- gical contrrivash list and able preach- er. "What, shali the old African blasphemer stop while he can speak?" he cried, when, nimble to read his sermons, be had to have some one the pulpit to act: as eyes to him,- Til his old -church his monumental tab- let, designed by himself still remains, with its inscription "John Newton, cleric, once art infidel and libertine, r a sCrvantof era s,, 1 C in Aft ica, Was by the rich mercy of oitrI old end Save routs Jeees Christ, preserv(d; restored, pardoned and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy."'

I i � l�iG TUE SEA e- d3ueklend Wats A,c`irtt to Conoelye Idea of ilia Culture, is For thousands of year's the sea half t s - appeared o b e an inexhaustible storehouse .of food. Ever sines prim- itive man tnade his first bone hook, the human race has been drawing �'- flap from it, and tate sea seemed able i to provide' for all demands maile up- on its supplied, �r Wit'Itin the last half -century the iloe1tion has altered Considerably, ace- r- cording to an Old Country wrii.er, for \- the advent of the steam trawler and f of the drifter enabled men enormous ly to increase the harvest of the sea, c It is now found that few fish can be r caught in places that were once . teeming with theta, and for some time the depletion of c a-tain waters e has been giving rise to anxiety, n 1 The firs;. man to dream of treating s the sea as a gigantic food farm was . the famous naturalist Frank Buck- - i land who was born in 1826 and diad d in 1880. During the last twenty' s years of his life he never tired of Ian- ! pressing upon his countrymen the importance of the fisheries and the • need for wider ]knowledge of the t habits of fish. He was the first to 1 fish look aheadculture,and conceive the ide,# of I Though it is usually caught in d rivers, the salmon is really a sea fish. It ascends the rivers to spawn, and the young salrra;tn spends two years . of its lie'e itt fresh aster before going down to the sea. Buckland found that nature's methods in the breeding of salmon t• were extraordinarily wast•eful, not _ more than perhaps one egg in 10,000 r --ver producing a fish that grew to maturity. By introducing a scientific system he was able to bring about a . wonderful increase in many of our greatland. fisheries, and it is largely due to his early work that. the salmon has JI been introduced successfully into such distant countries as New Zea - Since Buekland's time,' marine sel- ence has made tremendous progress. It is now known that the seas con- tain huge floating pastures of micro- scopic plants. It is upon the annual crop of plants fax too small for the eYe to see that the stocks of fish in the seas ultimately depend. These plans cannot thrive unless the sur- face waters contain salts, which act as manure to them. In some years the water is so mixed up by storms that there is little of these salts at the surface and the crop is a poor `s one. Science is trying to regulate the , t supply In the sea's great farm. One of the nioC. successful under- takings in farming the seas has been f I the transplanting of plaice. At one time it was feared that supplies of this most valuable fish were failing. o. Investigaaons showed that the Dog- ger Bank, whieh„is nearly as big as the whole of Wales, possessed incal- culable supplies of the favorite food of this fish, but for some unknown reason was outside the tracks of their normal migration. Since then mil- lions of small plaice have been taken from overcrowded areas where they could not get sufficient food to en- able them to grow quickly and trans- . ported to the Dogger Bank. There it • is found that they grow from three to six times as quickly as in their native areas.

Col, H. 13. Coombe,. mayor of Clin- ton, had charge of Sunday's proceed- ings aha in,a brief address pointed out that it as most fitting that a memorial should be erected by the People of EIuron to its most distin- guished son. The unveiling ceremony was perfor.nted by Major. Gen. John Fotheringham of T orcinto. Short ad- dresses were made by Reeve N. W. Trewartha, Reeve Keyes, of Stanley Township, ex -Mayor J. A.

PETITION FILED TO UNSEAT M.P. • Allegations of bribery and techni- cal irregularities were made in a peti- tion filed at Osgoode Hall on Satur- day seeking to unseat Hon. James Malcolm, successful Liberal candidate in North Bruce in the recent Domin- ion elections. The petitioners, Andrew Allen, Richard Farley and Frank Colwell, all of Kincardine, say the description of the rival candidates on' the ballot papers were not the saute- as those on the nomination papers, and that. Mr. Malcolm. and Returning Officer W. R. Tomlinson were aware of this. It is' also alleged many unqualified persons voted and that ballots marked for ...William Mitchell, Conservative candidate, were improperly rejected. l At the Dominion election on July 28 the Hon. Mr. Malcolm, who repre- I sented North Bruce ie the last Fed- eral House, and who held the post of Minister of Trade and Coinnierce, defeated William Mitettell,•by a small majority. Following the election there was considerable talk of irreg- ' ulerities and many stories appeared .in the press throughout the province.

The great rivers in Africa must be nllrres abounding in a wealth of ancient ivory, if a new theory ex- plaining the mysterious disappear- ance of dead elephants, advanced re- cently by Sir William Gowers, Gov- ernor of Ltganda, proves correct. Where do elephants go when they die? Naturalia.s and explorers for . Years .have tried to find the answer. According to legend, the dying paehyderms drag themselves to some remote elephant cemetery. Such a place, however, has never been found, and neither have the major- ity of the 2,000 wild African ele- phants wlricli, it is estimated, die each year. Sir William's theory is that the animals, when old, go to the nearest river to drink, and tha.. most 0f them drown there. Water. Is Pellucid.
