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.

English Walnuts.
If you ask your grocer, "What are
the best English walnuts?" he will
reply, "French ones." 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__

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.

Nor do they inform the public of the

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.

the advent 'of the entemobile, a sen-
timental regard for establiehed"
British institutions prevented the suc-
cess of the American "right" plan,
but with the multiplication bf motor
cars, and the Consequence influx of
tourists treed to keeping to the right,
the change became imperative. I*
would have been put in effect several
years ago but for the dislocation
caused by the war.

Naturally the company opposed the
change, more particularly as the
shareholders are nearly all English-
men, who, living in the Old Country,
ca -n see no good reason for changing
the rule of the road. Recognizing
that the company had originally
made its investments in accordance
with existing laws, the provincial
government is contributing $850,00111
towards the extraordinary expenses
involved. It will' be at least twig
years before the alterations are come
pltsted, as for the first few weeloi
the cars will run with all doors re-
moved.
The new rule of the road has been
in force in the country districts for
several months, it being a compara-
tively simple matter to put it into
effect in small towns where there are
no street cars.
