the largest, of the items, ie that of $42

preseut $1,000 sessional tndemnity of

which he annoanoed the increase, t3ir
J'amee Whitney recalled that there had
been considerable talk last eeeeton about
a round robin from the *nowhere asking
for an increase, and the enbjeot had
been informally discussed The Pre-
mier wished it distinctly undereto,d
that there had been no bargaining o
solicitation of the Government in any
way. The Givernment had taken $'h
etep of increasing the indemnity on its
own initiative, and was prepared. as
alwaye, to aooept the full responsibility
for its not. Owing to the changed eon-
dittone of the past few year,, the Gov-
ernment felt that in jastioe to the mem•
hers the idemnity should be increased,
jaet as the salaries of the ministers and
most of the civil servants had been in-
creased.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Dominion Government has been
notified of the appointment of H,R.H
the Duke of Connaught to succeed Earl
Grey as Governor- General of Canada.
The announcement was made in a cab•
legram received Saturday by hie Excel•
lenoy from the Colonial Secretary. It
is futeher annoanoed that H.R H. will
arrive in Canada to assume office in Sep•
tember next, and that the term of office
is to be two years, with the possibility
of extension.
By a vote of 118 to 63 the House of
Oommone last week emphatically con-
demned the misguided attempt of the
Opposition to besmirch the reputation
of Hon. W. S. Fielding In apparent
realization of the added prestige gather.
ed by the Minister of Finance in the
success of his diplomatic mission to
Washington, Mr. Boyce, the Conserve-
•tive member for West Algoma, moved a
resolution, which, while affirming the
long -recognized principle that cabinet
ministers should not accept gifts to
which favor seekers had contributed
was obviously inspired by the idea of
engendering pablio easpioion concerning
the bona fides of the recent spontaneons
tributes to the worth and work of Mr.
Fielding.
But don't misunderstand me ; neither
the Canadian people nor the Canadian
Government are philanthropists. There
is no room in Canada for the "won't
w.,rks," or the "can't works," and we
don't want them at any prior:. Canada
is establishing a landed aristocracy, in
the truest meaning of the word -a land-
ed proprietorship extending over fertile
prate:es 800 miles long and 800 miles
wide. This in due time will make 240,.
000 equate miles of farms and homes
with incomes, with many busy towns

don, Eng., Mail.

whom ye ill serve. Joshua xsiv:16.
(1) Vvreee 1.2 -How long had the
famine lasted in the land?
(2) Did the Lord speak to Eli jsh in
any different manner to what he speaks
to those who serve him to day?
(3) Why had God kept Elijah away
froth Ahab for three a ears or daring the
oontinuanoe of the famine?
(4) Would the coffering Doused
Ahab by the famine, have put him into
a better frame of mind to realize his sin,
and whether or not, does enffering as a
rule bring about repentano„?
(6 ) Verses 17.20 -What law in sin-
.tnl human nature did Ahab demonstrate
in the way he accosted EUjah?
(6) Why is it t.h .1 sinners when they
suffer for their eine generally put the
blame on some oue else?
(7.) In what reepeots was it tine that
Ahab and his hoose were the tronblers
of Israel?
(8 ) Verse 21-Wbat test did Elijah
propose to Ahab and the people?.
(9.) Wh7 did not Ahab slay Elijah
when he was in his power and seeing he
had been hnnting him for that purpose?
(10.) Verse 21 -Which is the more
harmful oonditloa, to be almost per-
suaded to be a Christian or to be defi-
nitely decided that we will not? Why?
(11.) Why had the people of Israel
been halting between serving God and
Baal?
(12) Why could not the people an-
swer the challenge of'Elijah?
(13) What Dan yon say about the
value of E:ijah's advice to the people?
(14.) Verse 22 -Was Elijah correct
in his opinion that he was the only
ro het remaining true to God? (See
In Jaly, 1909, the Department of Phy-
sics at the 0. A. 0. prepared a plan of
drains for a 62 acre block of land that
had never grown a crop -it was too wet.
The drains were laid that autumn, In
1910 that 62 acres yielded potatoes and
corn to the value of $2250 The farm
lies within five miles of the city of Lon-
don. Why had this land lain useless
for generations? Perhaps the previous
owners thought it could not be drained,
as a matter of fact it was a diffioult
problem, for this land was very flat and
the outlet poor. Perhaps they did not
believe drainage would pay -This one
Drop ehonld convince them. Or perhaps
they believed in drainage but did not
know jaet how to undertake each ex-
tensive drainage operations.
The Ontario Agricultural College is
endeavoring to help those in doubt about
drainage. Any farmer in Ontario wish-
ing aseistanoe in his drainage problems
may have the same by making applica-
tion to the Department of Physios, 0 •
A. O., Gaelph. As soon as possible
after reoeipt of the application a drain-
age adviser is sent to make a survey of
the land, after which he makes a cony
plate map showing the location of the
drains, the grade, size of tile, etc
When completed the map is sent to the
owner, so that he has an aoourate guide
to follow in putting in his drains. As
in previous years, the only outlay to the
farmer ie the necessary travelling ex-
penses of one man in connection with
the enrvey. The railways give a rate of
a cent a mile for this work, so that the
travelling expenses are light.
After one sntvey in eaoh locality a
Drainage Demonstration is held right in
the field surveyed, to which all the
neighbors are invited. At this meeting
simple methods are demonstrated of
making a drainage survey, finding the
fall of a ditch, determining the grade,
digging to grade, etc. -
Those wishing to make application for
a survey should write the Department
of Physics, O. A. 0 , Guelph, whereupon
regular application forms will be sent.
Eczema Not a Blood Disease,
Eczema is as a disease of the akin and
not of the blood. For this reason inter-
nal medicines have never been a success
in curing Eozsma. Whatever the cause
Wool application is necessary to heal the
eoree and restore the skin to a healthful,
natural condition. Far tine reason Dr.
Chase's Ointment has a world wide repu-
tation as being witnoae a rival as a care

Lumber in Canada.
An illuminating return on the lumber
production of Canada was issued Mon-
day by the Dominion Forestry Depart-
ment. The figures are for 1909, tbo
latest year for whioh complete returns
are available. The total inorease in
production was 13.9 per pent. and
among other interesting facto brought
to light are that Oatarto alone produces
two-fifths of the Canadian lumber, that
spruce is the leading Canadian specie',
that only 6 per oent of that wood pro
dnoed in Canada is hardwood, and that
the prodnotion of equate timber for ex-
port hoe deolin id to such an extent that
only one twelfth as muoh is produced as
formerly. The total production wee

IT PAYS
TO Ab'V'E1tTiSE
IIV THE
TIMES.
The safe -makers took a step in ad-,
vane, and, behold, the cracks were,
stopped, and no cranny or crevice left.
into which any form of explosive
could possibly be injected,
It seems as though Bill would have
to reform.
But chemistry and electricity have
both come to his aid. Whenever a
burglar can manage to strip electric
light wires, he has at hand a simple:
inethod of producing a degree of heat.
sufficient to pierce the hardest steel.
He uses a carbon pole, safely insu-•
lated, and produces an are powerful;
enough to melt anything.
On August 31st last an attempt.
was made on a safe belonging to a:
firm of Birmingham jewellers which
contcih&&d £40,000 worth of diamonds
and other valuables. A great hole
had been melted through two inches
of solid steel, and if the thieves had
not been disturbed at their work they
would infallibly have secured the'
"swag." These men used the oxy-
hydrogen blowpipe flame, which pro-
duces the most intense heat known
to man, next to the electric furnace. ,
All that is necessary is a small cy-
linder of compressed oxygen, such as
doctors use for patients suffering,
from pneumonia, ae length of india-
rubber tubing, and a blowpipe. The
india-rubber tube is connected with'
the nearest gas -jet, the oxygen is
turned on, and mixed with the gas,.
and the result is a flame with a tem-
perature of over 2,000 degrees Fahren-
heit, which will Inelt the Harveyized,
steel of a battleship.
Another dodge of the up-to-date
safe -robber is the use of a chemical
compound known as thermit. This
consists of a finely powdered mixture
of aluminium and oxide or rust of
iron.
At a certain temperature, well
known to Bill, the aluminium begins'
to combine with oxygen, and the lat-
ter is taken up from the iron, and
the result is oxide of aluminium and:
metalic iron.
The heat involved by this chemical
action is so terrific that under its
impact steel runs like melted sealing -
wax,
Fortunately for the public at large,
thermit has, from the burglar's point{
of view, two formidable drawbacks.'
Megnesium must be employed td
light the cartridge, and burning mag-
nesium produces a brillant, glare of
light. Again thermit, itself, in pro-
cess of combustion, sends off huge
columns of stifling ,smoke, which is
apt to betray the '•:operations of the
safe-breaker.
Some little time ago, a policeman
arrested a suspicious -looking charac-
ter leaving a house in' Brgndesbury,
Eng., at an early hour of the morn-
ing.
"It's just as well to tell you I'm a
burglar," said the fellow.
This man had in his possession a.
bottle of methylated spirits, another
of some other chemical, and a brass
apparatus with a blow -pipe attach-
ment. The use of the latter puzzled
the police, but the burglar frankly
explained its use.
'You see," he said, "I just smear,
the glass of the window above the
catch with the stuff in this bottle,
then I turn the flame of a soldering
lamp on it by . means of the blow-
pipe. As soon as the glass melted
I put this hooked blade through, pull
back the catch and there you are.
When Wagner Fled.
Richard Wagner, the composer, wan
an ardent republican in 1849. In the
archives of Dresden there is a .doeu-
inent setting forth a case of high trea-
son against the musician. He was
accused of having written to a friend
a letter proposing to turn Saxony into
a republic. "But whom shall we make
president?" he asked. "I see nobody,
competent for the office except our
present sovereign, Frederick Augustus
II." Frederick Augustus does not
'seem to have appreciated ehe humos
of the suggestion that he should doff
'the crown and content himaelf with
the dignity of a republican president,
For this flash of unconscious full
Wagnerchad to bolt to Switzerland.
