The Seaweed Harvest. every yearthere ts a harvest ,f seaweed is a fact which is not generally known. This industry is carried on in Hol- land The seaweed is mown with scythes, when OW Sops almost reach the surface of the water. The har- vesters, clothed In watertight gar- ments reaching to the shoulders work when the hip is low. When this industry began, only _ • one scythe was used at a time, but now Several are fixed to a line which the workers draw to and fro In a saw -like manner above the base of the weed. After the weed has been cut it is spread out in order that it may be withered by the sun. When it be- comes black it is scuttled In water. The fresher the water the blacker the seaweed turns, and the blacker the weed, the higher becomes its value. After being soaked for a few days, the product is spread out in the fields to dry, and when thoroughly crisp it is made up into bales weighing about one hundred pounds each. It is then ready for the market. Seaweed has lately been found to produce gelatine of a very high quality. e$*u it.,*41141, abed 10X, Oak ,,work On the 44. it „e(nMitetieg he. od ioniktartg t(f JAW (Mrdellekl,Mi Send yon aly bill irks 0'404' len' be pretty atite•.aabor'e gone uP,' you know!"

They are ex- ported ,chiefty from Grenoble, and are known as Grenoble nuts. The sug- gestion having been made that ex- • cellent walnuts could be raised in many of our southern States, at a distance from the humid and swampy coast lands, the Department of Com- ; merce has collected interesting facts about the cultivation of the trees in France. They grow best at altitudes of from 600 to 1,900 feet. The young trees are very susceptible to extreme heat or cold. To maintain the quality of the nuts frequent grafting Is practiced. Perfect nuts grow only on the outer limbs, ex- posed to the air and sun, and the inner limbs are kept trimmed down. The trees are planted with plenty of room about them, and every year or two the ground is dug up and ferti- lized. The space between can be utilized for pasturage or crops__ N. Y. Herald. An Oyster Mystery. In private life the oyster is a very queer fish. You never know whether YOU should address a particular oys- ter as "lijr." or "Mrs.," for the same creature changes its sex frequently. In the spring the oyster's mind turns to thoughts of love. Its conduct is governed by the sex which it has assumed for the time being. If it is a temporary male, it becomes a father; if, on the other hand, it ia for the time being a lady -oyster, then the cares of motherhood are upper- most in its mind. The mother oyster lays a large number of eggs, which she hatches not by sitting' on them, but by keep- ing them in her gills. When they have hatched and swum away she heaves a sigh of relief and proceeds to become a male. Her erstwhile hus- band, who has now become feminine, is the mother of the next batch of babies.

If It is a eontiftuous mass composed of water vapor to the point of sat- uration, it represents 200.000 tons of water suspended in the air. Nature's pumping engines have raised that great quantity of water from the sea and the earth, and the cloud itself contains in "energy of position" exactly the power expended in netting that water. The Amid is, in fact, a reservoir of great capacity, Perhaps 8,000 feet above the dround level. In 1920 the railways of Great Bri- tairt spent 2250,000.000.

They do not te 'however, of the strain under whi the Prince labors on trips of sta Nor do they inform the public of the rigid training he must undergo to keep fit. A royal visit to India is always trying. The present trip is probably the most trying yet under- taken by the Imperial family. F this reason the aura of roman which eurrounds the young man, intensified rather than diminished this great ambassadorial adventure. Even the ordinary person who in or- dinary circumstances visits India can -hardly return from that land of princes, pageentry and purple skies without betrtrinvested in the mind of the stay at home with a suspicion of its lamour. Whenthe Wales returns he will be to the pop lar .mind in Britain, a more romant figure than ever. Various writers have told us tha getting fit and keeping fit are th young man's chief obessioons.

There is an other little flaw in the story, to Edward Prince of Wales does no take breakfast—at any rate, not a the conventional hour.

Zualets for all his apparently hesitating, utterance and diffidence, he hod the Immo of "Bloody Balfour" when he was Chief Secretary for Ireland.

Griffith and de Valera would not now be debating whether Ireland should be a republic or a free state.

At Wittinghame his Scotch home, the music rooms are equipped with e couple of grand pianos and he is never so happy as awnhrie n ecthuealleyang.ifirtnedd some r cotne genialpl ay double duets with him.

BRITISH COLUMBIA TURNS TO THE RIGHT British Columbia definitely aban- doned the "keep to the left" rule of the road at six o'clock on New Year's „ morning, thereby coming into line " with the other Canadian provinces _ and the rest of the American conti- n tient. _ For two Weeks, previous to the ,change, Vancouver has been literally it plastered with signs urging the pub- _ lie to remember the change and goy - n ern themselves accordingly. Huge posters scream warnings from bit - boards, display advertisements crowd - h ed the pages of the newspapers, e dodgers, folders, pamphlets and hand- bills fluttered everywhere; legends f were tarred on the sidewalks and streets; the telephone poles were e decorated with pithy arguments; e sandeviehmen shivering along with red e admonitions; moving picture houses flashed reminders on the screen every hour; reference was made from plat- form and pulpit; every store window displayed cards. In spite of all this, accidents are certain to happen. Nervous drivers will lose their heads at the critical moment, and so, for their particular benefit, emergency wards will bekept in readiness at the city -hospitals; and the engines on the ambulahces will not be allowed to stop running.

Nevertheless, Balfour's part in those great events ought never to be for- gotten by France, and we think they never will be forgotten. France is merely playing polities. She wants a guarantee of protection, and if Braitain were willing to make a treaty of defence with her she would be perfectly willing to hand over every submarine to the control of the British Adheralty. Itt the war, Balfour was a tower of etrength, accepting one portfoli after another 'and distinguishing himself in them al/, and we may b sure that there was no member o the 'Cabinet to whose views greater respect was paid. than to those o this venerable bachelor'who is the only survivor of the Congress of Berlin, In 1917 he visited the United States, and no Englishmen who ever went there made a stronger impression. (Mr. Balfour is not an Englishman, but a Set:dame; but we do not desire to bring him into invidious comparison with other Stitch importations). He is one of those who is at home in all circles. A. room full of Kings or a room full of navvies would find him the same courteous gentleman, and we recall that an American newspaper on that occasion in cons - paring him with von Bernstorff made the remark that Balfour had ad inestimable advantage over the other in the fact that he waa gentleman.
