"In the last ten years the resi- dents of townships in the Pro- vince of Ontario have spent 10,- 510,000 dos in statute labor•, in the same time the township coun- cils have expended. $9,5445,610 in cash on the making and repairs of public highways within their limits. In addition to this nearly $000,000 has been spent by the comities a tor - tztrdof same being contributed by Provincial the ' > lto I t Government) ander what is com- monly known as the good roads movement. This statement does not'I uclne the d outlayby cities, ctt towns, and villages,nr even the considerable stuns pent by coun- ties which are not taking advent- age of the Government's good roads policy, Assuming that sta- tute labor is worth a dollar a day, there has been expended through the township councils alone in labor and cash twenty million del - bus, or two millions a year, in the last ten years. And yet I venture to say that the roads of the Pro- vince are little better than they were at the beginning of that ten year period," Dealing with the preliminaries ne- cessary to secure good roads, Mr. Campbell said :-- "The first thing to do is to pass a by-law fixing the width of highways s within municipal jurisdiction. The nextis to provide for the abolition of btto •iat —Fifty years ago the battle on be- half e - 11I of the Sabbath was being waged in Canada. Fromthe {1(b of Juneis :i, 1857, it is learned that the late Iron. George Brown moved in the house the previous day the third reading of his bill to relieve the employees of public departments from Sunday labor, The vote was a tie, and the Speaker Voted in favor of the bill get- ting the six months' hoist, ** —If the world's harvests do not prove better than present conditions indicate, a severe industrial and Coin- niercial crisis will develop, in the opinion of Dr. Theodor Barth, the well-known German economist. He does not, of course, anticipate an actu- al insufficiency in the world's food supplies. There will be plenty enougl to eat. The danger lies in an overex tension of credit which has not been contracted .by the repeated warning of monetary stringency; and so th financial and commercial situation is unduly exposed to disastrous shock which a grain shortage would be suf- ficient to produce tinder the circum- stances. —Two changes are announced along educational lines, that should prove to be of advantage. When the new Nor- mal schools are organized, a Teachers' Institute is to be held in each county in September for one or two days. This is to be conducted by the Normal School staffs. In addition to the benefit for the various teachers of the county, benefit is expected from the Normal teachers coining in contact with rural school conditions. Anoth- er change provides that each public school inspector is to meet each of his Boards of Trustees once a year at a public meeting to be called in each township for the discussion of local educational questions, *** According to Prof. Elmer Gates of Washington, every change of the mental state of an individual is ex- pressed in the secretions of the body. Treated with the same chemical re- agent, the perspiration of an angry man shows one color, that of a man in grief another, and so through a long list of emotions. In his experiments with thought conditioned by jealousy, he obtained another substance from the breath which he injected into the veins of a guinea-pig. The pig died in a very few minutes. After conclud- ing from his various experiments that hate is accompanied by the greatest expenditure of vital energy, Professor Gates affirms theA this passion precipi- tates several chemical products. Enough of these would be precipitated in one hour of intense hate, according to him, to cause the death of perhaps four -score persons, as these ptomaines are the deadliest poisons known to science. * —Probably no man has made his way to colossal wealth more rapidly or under more romantic conditions than Mr. Charles Schwab, the Ameri- can "Steel King," who is said to be weary of extravagant living and to be anxious to sell his $3,500,000 mansion at an enormous sacrific. Only twenty- five years ago this man of many mit- lions was driving the mail -cart be- tween Cresson and Loretto and filling in his spare hours by working on neighboring farms. A little later he was selling sugar and tea over a gro- cery counter in Braddock as a pre- liminary to driving stakes at a dollar a day for the Carnegie Company. At twenty-two, so rapidly did promotion come in his new sphere of work, he was earning $1,000 a year ; and. 3 years Iater we find him superintendent of the ITomestead Works on a British Cabinet Minister's income. From this point his advance towards wealth was so meteoric that, long before he emer- ged from the thirties, he was in re- ceipt of a salary of $500,000 a year, and owned shares having a par value of nearly forty million dollars, of the company for which he had, less than twenty years earlier, toiled for a dol- lar a day. * —The Davis bill, *which has passed the New York State Senate, and may pass the House of Representatives, marks a great step in the direction of new methods of dealing with crime and criminals. If it becomes lar, it will practically extend the privileges of conditional liberation, known as "parole," to offenders before imprison- ment. It deals with the subject in its elementary form, Probation is de -3 setilsed as the use of moral suasion through the gift of opportunity for reform before imprisonment. Parole as the term applied to the extension of this privilege after imprisonment. the l Tries is 1 plan ,. z , ha of committingoffend- ersT to the espionage cilicere, instead of committing them to jail, thus per- mitting them to escape the public huninlnaliori of imprisonment by Irenaitg their trays. It is said. that where at has been tried, the plan has bad direst satisfactory results. In lrattieai tarns, this probation means that these offenders shall report at hi. terva is to the probation officers, being heereticany ander observation, but n fact they are permitted to remain t liberty ander' suspended sentence, 5.(s long as they do not repeat the af- erias ort t onswit so1I otktlla'� t i a the statute labor, and the raising of the money necessary for the roads in the form of cash. The third is to pro- vide for the appointment of a skilled officer, who will have supervision of all road -building within the municipal limits." Since the passing of the good roads laws there has been spent by nine counties nearly $900,000, one-third provided by the Province.' Of this amount Simcoe has spent $97,938.91; Wentworth, $86,800.24 ; Lanark, $30,- 459.53 ; Wellington, $17,843,70 ; Oxford $17,678.27 ; Lincoln, $9,125.97 ; Mid- dlesex, $7,141.36 ; Lennox and Adding- ton, $6,838.18, and Hastings, $2,- 438.75. - 000D WEATHER AND TIMES. (Selected.) The world's prosperity depends up- on the weather. This may sound ab- surd. Weather does not make any difference to the output of gold from the mines. It does not drive nations to war. It does not prevent steamers from crossing the ocean, nor cables from carrying their messages from one continent to another. Granted. Yet the statement is true. Trade does not depend on gold nor upon anything dug from the earth. It has nothing to do with the number of ships ready to carry freight, and a war sometimes stimulates rather than depresses commerce. 'What really matters is the harvest. If India and China suffer from drought, or August frosts cut Canadian wheat, up goes the price of agricultural produce. The corn -producing countries have nothing to exchange against the manufactures of Britain and Germany, and the other manufacturing countries, miIIs stand idle, and bad trade and financial depression are the inevitable results. We cannot yet tell for certain, but this much we can say : That our wea- ther depends largely, if not entirely, upon the centre of our universe, the sun. How can the sun affect our weather is the inevitable question. Does it give more heat one year than the next? Are its rays hotter or cooler to -day than yesterday. No. The heat which the sun radiates all round it, and a minute fraction of which falls upon the earth, is a constant quantity, What does seem to vary is the strength and continuity of an even more important but less evident force, the electricity and magnetism of the sun. The sun, like this little planet, is subject to storms—storms on such a gigantic scale that a West Indian cy- clone which flattens stone buildings and lifts ships out of the water is a toy zephyr by comparison. The at- mosphere of the sun is not air, but metals and minerals in such a state of heat that they are blazing, boiling gas and at times this terrific atmosphere wheels and roars in circular storms so huge that this earth flung into the centre of -one would be whirled like a feather in a gale. A sun Storm mea - mired a year or so ago covered an area 172,000 miles long and 58,000 wide, and from its surface were flung up flames each of which would have licked this earth bare as a plate after the on- slaught of a. hungry dog. For some reason to us unknown, sun storms intensify at pretty regular intervals of eleven years. Now March 1002, was the last maximum of sun - storm activity. At that time we could see with the naked eye (protected by smoked glass) little dark blobs on the White-hot surface of the sun. &eh of this was a1 a tic storm. 8g n i rz, Sine e that date the sun storms have been decreeing. There was none for some months until I`ebrn r t a last, when big one flared across the surface of our light -giver. It is now dying away and by past experience We know that the next maximum, will be in 1014, Sun spots will begin to appear early in 1911, and intensify for nearly three years, after which they will take an- other two and a half years to disap- pear from the countenance of the monarch of the solar system. As we are now about the end of a die -away period, we ran confidently aterm that for at least four years from now we shall have, on the whole, good vrwatlser lash doh Inwoost,e ALMA Ito, R.I. ,bars, lean fi—Mentisi t.aal;cs, n a•; d5"'� COLLEGE W'ara.r, P. p ,.
