The Junkers company is said to be planning to connect with trans-Atlan- tic liners at Queenstown, to take off their passengers and carry them to Dublin, Liverpool, Hull, and over the North Sea, thus linking up the pre- sent German airlines, which already have a monopoly in Central Europe. Lord Beaverbrook's papers are de- manding that before this is allowed, Britain's "disgracefully humiliating position in civil aviation should be completely overhauled. In this connection it is pointed out that Britain does not even lead in aerial connection with the continent and that foreign machines plying be- tween the continent and England out- Wher British machines by a thous- and. Insufficlent Revenue It is also understood that a British company was offered the Dublin-to- continent contract but declined it on the ground that insufficient revenue was likely to accrue therefrom for a considerable period. Air experts point out that present day civil aviation machines are cap- able of easily being converted into war bombers and that therefore Ger- many's leadership in the world of aviation is a source of potential weak- ness to Britain. Only $1,000,000 are at present ex- pended in subsidies to British civil flying, and it is asserted that unless the amount is vastly increased, even the central African services, which are of the most vital importance to the Empire's communication, will pass in- to the hands of the French and Bel- gians, thus leaving Britain without any real monopoly in the air except the service to Pada. cient History, Phys, French A.

October closed at $1.13%; December, $1.14, and May, $1.10%. The mercury slipped to the frost line, or below, at almost every meteorological point report- ing in Saskatchewan, As much as five degrees were recorded in Re- gina distret, Damage likely to result from the frost cannot be determined at this time, but it is not believed that it will be extensive. A frost such as that of last night, however, will injure some late grain, of whch there is con- siderable in Saskatchewan and Alberta, The weatherman predicts more frost within the next 24 hours. Damage in Alberta Calgary, Alta., Aug. 23,--Later reports on frost in Alberta last night indicate that damage was caused in several districts where the thermometer registered 6b and 7 degrees below freezing. The crop area affected will run from two to three per cent of the total area," it is estimated, - PROWLER CALLS AT PT.

Two years ago, when Mars was in a very favorable position, changes were noticed compared with the observations of 1924. The large area of vegetation known as the "Lake of the Sun" had com- pletely altered its shape and ehift- ed several hundred miles north- wards, The "canals" had alo changed their configuration. Was it due to Martian agricul ture on a colossal scale or was it the result of a catastrophe of nature? asks the Dally News. The extraordinary fact remains, how- ever, that the 'canals' as seen in 1926 had reverted to their appear- ance in drawings made half a cen- tury ago. In December, when the planet will be at its nearest again, scien- tists hope to solve many riddles and to gain some clue whether ra- tional intelligence lies behind the movements of "The lake of the Sun" and the "canals". Dr. R. L. Waterfield, the News' astronomical correspondent, writes that the approach of 1836 was probably the most remarkable since those of the late 'seventies and early 'eighties when Schlaper- elli made his discoveries of the Martian 'canals'. For two years ago things happened on Mars that had never happened before. Cer- tain prominent, features of the planet's surface had undergone an entire transformation since the pre- vious appariton., Of these the most remarkable was the case of that large, dark oval marking, the so- called 'Lake of the Sun", This is a large area of vegetation covering several hundred thousand square miles: not only had it com- pletely altered its shape since 1924, but it had been shifted bodl- ly northwards several hundred miles, a distance greater than {ts own diameter, Moreover the sys- tem of "canals" leading in and out of it had taken om a quite new configuration, "Such a phenomenon is entirely unexplained," says Dr. Waterfield. "Was it an earthquake or some stupendous hurricane or tempest that wrought the change?--for one has to remember that there are no large oceans on the planet into which or out of which countries can sink or rise, One tentative suggestion was that this was yet another manifestation of the ex- istence of intelligent beings that we might have been witnessing the following of land upon a vast scale, "But there were other remark- able changes on the planet; thus in the region of the 'Greater For Your Drug Needs THOMPSON'S 10 Simcoe St. 8,~~We Deliver Balbriggan Shirts apd Drawers.
