,class in the prize list. The alfalfa,
barley and. oats classes received the
largest number of entries, there be-
ing 24 in the alfalfa seed class; 18
in the 6 -rowed barley class and 16 in
the class for oats. There were also
'numerous entries in the following
glasses: White winter wheat, soft red

"beans; flak, red cloyree, alsike, timothy
Seed,.- sweet clover.
'In the entry list there are exhibit-
ors from. every section of . Ontario;
including a trembler from the several
districts of Northern Ontario.
Mr. James Laughland of the'Field
Husbandry Department, Q. A. C., at
Guelph, who is in charge of the On-

,son changes His Position Marcy
Times Duping the Night,
Since ell. of us spend a good dead
of our lives sleeping, tlx' subject of
how to secure a maximum of rest and
r.elaxatiou is an ;!nterestint one.
Some postures are said ;by doctors to
produce deformities and others to
correct teem, and it is a curious fact
that every posture in turn hal been
accused of interfering with the action
of :he heart, stomach, or respiration,
13ecaentty three American doctors con -
limited sleeping tests, and in revIew-
ing their report the Lancet states:
The 'United States array 'urgos Xtra
soldiers never to forget that "the
best way to use the body for all -pair-
poses is as if it were stretcbed up as
tall .:as possible" during sleep they
are not to "curl up and buckle" in
the . middle. Yet - other , authorities
recommend a curled -up position, and
this at least seems more raesonable,
since the "position of rest" ,for all
parts of the body is one of flexion
following the rule that the flexor
muscles are slightly more powerful
than the extensor.
The American workers, during the
course of an investigation into sleep
conducted at the Melton Institute,
Pittsburgh, have invented an legen-
ious device to record the movements.
of healthy people in bed. A pen le
attached to a part of the bed which
yields to the sleeper's movements
when he changes the position of a
limb or of the body. The pen writes
on a strip of moving paper, which al-
so records the passage of time, apd
each jag in the line represents a
movement,
A study of t12 healthy people and
seventy patients in hospital, and, in
addition, of some children and uni-
yersity erten, has shown that the aver-
age healthy sleeper changes his posi-
tion between twenty and forty- five
Clines in a typical night of eight
hours, and holds about half the posi-
tion he takes up for less than five
minutes. Be does not lie still for an
hour at a time once in the night.
An extension of the recording de-
vice included' a einematograph cam-
era ' which automatically , took the
position of the sleeper each time he
stirred and ceased to stir. The paper
is illustrated with thirty Hires
sketches showing the corresponding
number of different positions taken
up by a typical sleeper, toge`heit
with a clock showing the times at,
which he moves. .If the bed is com-
fortable for all positions the sleeper
turns through about a dozen gross
positions with minor variations in a
,fairly regular :sequence.
Those that are .maintained for false
ly long periods are invariably con-
torted; the spine is always curved
laterally and usually bowed back-
wards and twisted. Even when he
lies on his back he does not lie Sat,'
but places one leg in such a way as
to prevent rotation and throw more
of the weight on to the other side.
The posture that requires least effort
to maintain is a prone one.
• The conclusion is, that any healthy
sleeper would have to be strapped in
a frame or molded in a cast if he
were to spend the entire night in the
physician; on the other hand, he con-
trives to please all of them at some
time or another. Just as the best
diet for a healthy person is to eat
what he likes, so the best posture
for healthy sleep is a series of
changes as dictated by nature. No
one of the positions adopted gives
the "complete relaxation" shown by
a fainting person, but each relieves
the irritation and corrects the errors
of the previous position and of the
day's activities.
IIDOI:Mr A,RTH17RIAN LEGEND.
Cantle ;Built Lang After the Reign of
King Arthur.
The ruins in Tintagel, Cornwall,
England, which for generations have
passed for the renlatus of :King Arth-
ur s
.rth-ur's castle, are declared now to have
been. built` long after (he reign of
King Arthur.
"The castle as we see it now," said
Henry Jenner, president of the In
ternational Arthurian Congress, "is
not of any period approximating
King Arthur's". The present ruin,
he said, probably was built in the
thirteenth century, although part of
the chapel foundation might date to
a much earlier period.
For centuries the crumbling stone
structure of the Cornish cliffside has
been a shrine for lovers of Arthurian
legends, and thousands of tourists go
to see it every year. Mr. Jenner said.
there was no evidence to connect
King Arthur with Tintagel, and as-
serted the place was not 'mentioned
in any stories of Ring Arthur until
Geoffrey of Monmouth mentioned it
In the twelfth century.
"The original story which Geoffrey
retold and faked to make it read
well," he said, "invented two neigh-
boring fortresses as the centres of
incident and did not mean Tintagel
to be one of them at all"

Oue of the most interesting' fea-

of the fort, known as the Arieuri

'many squares, marked elf by marble

There are broad marble causeways,

Live In Itlotating. Vilingo+s Comtipoied
of Hundreds of Canoes,
The Bajaos, er sea gypsies, of the
Suitt 204 who live their lives in tiny
canoes and have long .evaded the in-
fluences of civilization, bave sue,
+'•tunhed at length to the use :of tame-
lights,
o e -lights, diving goggles and in some
,'cans even alarm elects. This para-
dox of modern and primitive life. Is
related, by Carl N. Taylor, former
professor at the University of the
Philippines, who recen.ly completed
a tour of several weeks among' the
tie-Itnown Bajaos, with .whom he liv-
cd while studying the smuggling of
opium and Chltiose into the Philip-
pine Islands,
"They are living :n a state of de-
velopment that pre,-.:tts many sur-
prising paradoxes,' said Mr. Taylor.
"They are: so primitive that they ap-
parently have no word meaning God
or Gods, and they scoem to he (levied
of folklore or mythology; they are
born in tiny canoes hewn from the
runks of trees, and their entiretrees
are spent in these boats. They have
no arts and crafts other than wooci-
carving and the weaving of fishnets."
hir, Taylor said that he was assur-
ed by theold men of the-Bajaos ,hat
they had no idea where they carne
from and he quoted them as saying:
"We have never been told w'.nere we
came from nor who made the world.
And we have been too busy catentng
fish to think about such things our-
selves."
"The Bajaos," he said, "live in
large floating villages composed of
hundreds of canoes and households
and they are continually on the
move. They might be called .Nomads
of the sea, for they follow the migra-
tion of the fish as ,he dwellers inthe
desert 'follow their. flocks. Occasional-
ly they stray as far southward as
Java and as far north as the Visayan
lslande of the Philippines, but rncir
central rendezvous is in the neigb-
borhood of South Sulu. There are
perhaps 30,000 of them and their
largest communities noa ain as 'many
as 600 boats."
Disease is treated by incantations
performed by medicine men or magi-
cians. • "I had the good fortune to be
the only white ,roan ever permitted
to undergo treatment at the hands
of a Bajaos medicine mane' conclud-
ed Mr. Taylor. "There was so mach'
beating of gongs and so many weird
chants sung over me that I was un-
able to keep track of everything that
went on, but if I saw the things I
thought I saw and felt the things
that I am sure I did feel, the prac-
titioners must have been magicians
and sot ordinary medicine men."
(WEST OF HOLY GRAIL.
Oldest Monument- In World to Sen.-
• holies Religious Tolerant*.
A twentieth - century quest of the
Holy Grail and the Cross of Calvary
is under way in Co.ustun tinopie. This
quest is bound: up with the efforts of
a Danish archaeologist, Carl Vett, of
Copenhagen; to preserve what is
probably the oldest monument in the
world to symbolize religious toler-
ance.
The monument, dating from 326
A.D., is the Column of Constantine,
founder of Constantinople, which
still stands at the corner of a busy
thoroughfare. Tire cross on which
Christ was crucified, brought from
Golgotha. by Constantine's mother,
St. Helena of York, was placed, an -
cording to ancient authorities, with-
in the base of this column, side ay
side with the Palladium of old Rome.
More shadowy tradition holds that
the relies placed within the column
included the Holy Grail as well as
twelve baskets containing crumbs
from the 5,000 loaves .of the Biblical
miracle and the adze with which
Noah built the Arne The statue, the
inscriptions and the three topmost
churns of the column were knocked
down by an earthquake almost 1.000
years ago. Seven drums of porphry
still stand erect, buc the lower drums
and the marble base were buttressed
with sandstone 20ee years ago by the
Turks to prevent else failing of the
columu.
TOYS'. MAGICAL POWERS.
African Negroes Say Holl May Be
lised to Ward Off Evil.
Among African negroes, a doll is
supposed to have magical powers,
and may be used to ward or evil, or
offered up as a sacrifice.
Not so many 'years ago it was be-
lieved that to overcome an enemy it
was oialy necessary to fashean a war
doll resembling hurt and melt it

would waste away with illness.
Toy animals, like those in Noa.h's.
Ark, miniature picks, shovels, azia
household articles, such as miniature
tea services, were buried with the
dead or were offered to the gods as
imitation sacrifices. Thus a farmer
would ,present at his temple little

wife would offer small reproduetions
of household utensils.

Atlantic passengers as "Jock" Latta,has been
selected to command the. new 42,500 -ton Canadian
Pacific liner Empress of Britain. The promotion comes
to Captain Latta after. 26 years' service with the
Canadian Pacific Steamships, which he joined in 1904
with the rank of 4th officer. In the next six years
Captain Latta sailed withseveral ships and eventually
became chief officer of the Montezuma in 1910. The
expiration of seven years as chief officer saw his promo-
tion to commander of the Monmouth. Six years later,
in 1923, he anticipated, promotion to the crack ship of
the fleet by his appointment to her namesake, the
Empress of Britain, which was later• renamed the
Montroyal. After a short interlude on the Empress of
Scotland, the Scottish shipmaster went to the Empress
of Australia, command of which he relinquished after
conveying Premier R. B. Bennett to the imperial
Conference, in order to° "stand .by" the new Empress of
Britain during the last stages of her construction.
During his many years as commander of Canadian
Pacific liners on the St. Lawrence seaway, Captain.
Latta has conveyed many farnous people across the
Atlantic, numbering amongst his more distinguished
friends l'i.R.H the Prince of Wales, who launched his
new command; Prince George, the Duke of Gloucester,
Lord and Lady Wiliingdon, Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin,
Rt. Hon. L. C. M. S. Amery, Rt. Hon. Winston
