States proves, es I ar. com ' tabulation, ; 48 oy Wheining Republican Or in very probably will exe he ge oat ing Hardy victory of 1920, and the i. President's position in the Electoral "College probably will rank third in strength in the whole history of the country. The results of Tuesday's election, as they appeared on the lat-| est tabulations, are as follows from an Electoral College point of view: Coolidge, 879; Davis, 139; La Fol lette, 13. The popular vote cast for President) Coolidge and his running mate, Brig.- Gen. Charles G. Dawes, may actually exceed that cast for Harding in 1920, when the totals are complete, but thus far it appears to be about three mil: lion short. This is the nearly com- plete tabulation: lidge, 18,308,118; Davis, 7,976, 172; La Follette, 3,847,059. Both Houses of Congress will be Republican. But, more than that, they appear to be Republican by ma- orities that will enable the President Al Smith Who was re-elected governor of New York for a third term, snowing ysdet Ool.

A despatch from Londen says:-- The outstanding point ot the majority of the London newspapers' comment] on the United States elections is that| it emphasizes the prevailing desire of the democracies .f the world for a period of quiet, stable government and that the people of America are no more than those of Great Britain in a mood for the experiments of Pro- gressivism. The Conservative Daily Telegraph regards the "outcome" as a much more amazing triumph than that of the Conservative party in Great Bri- tain. The general desire for continu- ity and stability in national adminis- tration, it adds, "has been more than commonly strong." Anticipating that the policy of the last four years will be continued and that United States adherence to the League of Nations is still out of the question, The Telegraph says that, nevertheless, 'the reality of the Re- publican Government's desire to see effective American co-operation in the world's work of recovery from the war recelves a new demonstration in the election of Charles G. Dawes. "In this country," it goes on, "there is - nothing - but - sincere - gratification that a period of serious political diffi- culty has been avoided in the United | Statés and the best of all possible Fgovernments--a government + backed by a rent popular majority--se- cur Ivory is Drug on Market. Nobody in London seems to want mammoth ivory, although it has the | distinction of being 50,000 yedrs old, for at the quarterly ivory sale, which | took place recently thirty-nine tusks f rom mammoths--the ivory weighing in all a ton---was withdrawn from the sale because the minimum price gon not be obtained. There is some mystery as to the or- igin of these tusks. Seven tons ar- rived, only a portion of the total being put up for sale in Mincing Lane.

The King held a Privy Council at Buckingham Palace on Iriday for the transfer of the seals of office from the old to the new Min- isters, "who took the oath and complied with other formalities.

Flour and grist mills of wood con- struction that have served generation after generation are still turning out their product and will no doubt do so | for ma.y years yet. This is, however, | not always the case. Wood, unfor- tunately, like practically everything else, has its enemies, and probably the most destructive of these are fungi To secure exact information as to the conditions which faeilitate the action of various wood-destroying fungi on woods used for interior construction in mills, factories, etc., and to work out procedure and methods by means of which the decay may be prevented, the Forest Products Laboratories of the Department of the Interior-have been ca ying on investigations for some years. Hxpert technical know- ledge on the prevention of decay has been secured as a result of decay studies in some hundreds of large buildings. 'What j& almost of equal importance t6 Canadian industry is' the series of mechanical and physical te&ts which the Laboratories is conducting cn the strengths of Canadian timbers.

It is report ed that the Soviet government had dis- covered them in the frozen fastnesses of Siberia. Sclentists believe the ivory tusks to 'be at least 500 centuries old.

Two-thirds of the period of re- {adjustment have been. experienced. Hanes 4h the worst 1s over. urchasing power of the Fac x armer has been greatly in- ! creasetl, despite the decrease in the 'volume of major Crops. The farmer is receiving from 15 to 20 per cent. more for his product this year. This means more business. 3. Canadian exchange is now. on a par with the American dollar.

The deepest place in any ocean, so far discovered, is located about fifty miles off the coast of Japan, in the Pacific Ocean, according to informa- tion made public by the U.S, Depart- ment of the Interior through the Goor> '| logical Survey. The: Japanese mao wen the Man- chu, folind the spot recently while on. a chart-making cruise for the Japanese Naval Department. Its depth was so great that it could not be measured, for the-reasoi that the sounding wire carried by the vessel reached only 82. 644 feet, or nearly 6% miles. . How much deeper than the length of the wire used the ocean may. be at this place cannot even be guessed, The greatest ocean depth préviously "Iknown-was- 1 -discovered by » surveying ship in 1013, at a: place off . the coast of Mindanao, Philippine Is- lands, where bottom was reached depth of 83,118 feet. These great depths have lately become interesting in connection with the study of earth- quakes that appear to be produced by the slipping of strata along the planes deep in the crust of the earth: "The deepest place in the Atlantic Ocean thus far found lies just east of the Island of Hattl, where the depth 1s 27,922 feet. -- fe Heart and One Lung Dis- placed."
