MEMORIALS * ONHISTORICSITES Work of Dominion Govern- ment perpetuates Mem- oy g oyof Events a, Ont., Aug. 8.--Scattered ut 'the Dominion of Can- physical evidences of some oo e most romantic aud juiceest- ing incidents in the annals o e American continent. In or- p that these historical features should not be lost to posterity, the 'of "the Interior a few 'ago appointed the Historic $ and Monuments Board td ad- | the department on all matters relating to this subject. Since the inception of this work in 1919 the Department of the In- terior, on the recommendation of the Board has marked 129 sites by the erection of suitable memorials. Others are being acquired from "time to time and it is hoped' to "mark eventually all those through- out Canada which are of a distine- ,tive national character. During. last year a number of sites of national importance were ' marked and among the monuments unveiled amid appropriate cere- . mony was one commemorating the landing of Jacques Cartier in Can- ada at the Ile-aux-Coudres on Sep- tember 6, 1535. The inscription on the monument sets forth that #In the 6th Sept. 1535, Jacques Cartier anchored his three' ships mear the place, explored the island 'and named it Il-aux-Coudres." Lartier's historic landing 'was also 'the occasion of the first recorded 'Christian service on what is now Canadian soil. At the recent - meeting of 'the Board, 125 sites were reviewed, and several recommendations 'were forwarded to the Department of the Interior. Of the new sites or events select- - ad for commemoration, the follow- ing are the most outstanding: * Wolfe's Landing, Gabarus Bay, Cape Breton--Site of the landing plage of Brigadier. General James oles brigade on the Sth June, First Coal Mine in Cape Breton ~--S8ite of the first regular coal min- ing operations in America, begun by the French in 1720, Fort Ste.

The man, who ag- ed to impose upon their, confidence is a magician who lives in an old castle, who promised to produce: an economic revolution of the world in about the same manner as a con- jurer pulls a pair of young rabbits from a top hat. . "Unite the carth and cosmos! Tame the atom! Seek the essence of ether! Extract electricity from stone!" This was the magician's for- mula of success. He also claimed that his invention would accomplish these things, The magician's name i§ Karl Schap- peler, who: resides. in 'a beautiful old Austrian castle. He is a former postman, born 'in a workhouse, the only son of a pauper, Schlos Aurolz- munster in upper Austria, the most legendaire of the country's castles, in which Napoleon lived during an Aus- trian campaign, is the headquarters of the magician and receiving office for the contributions from abroad to further the invention. The Austrian police had raided 'the palace and found that besides Kaiser Wilhelm and his wife, the Archduke Joseph Ferdinand was also interest- ed to the extent of $30,000 as well as many of the foremost Teutonic families, "With my invention," said the 'ma- gician, "wars will cease, modern transport will be no more, gasoline, dynomos, turbines will yanish, ether will drive ships, airplanes and motor mars. There will be .no more acci- dents. from the sky. Climate will be stand- ardized. No more coal, no more fires, "Wheat will give more crops a year, anid all existing waves of medi- cal treatment will give way, to healing waves of ether. Th hen diamonds; no need to bore or dig into the soil for them. The chained forces of nature will, when the invention gets into mo- tion, cause them to sprout forth from the earth in pulverized form. My ma- chine, which must be phos dod as a cosmos, within: a cosmos, will catch the pulverized material and restore it into its original shape again." Schappeler has left the country but his son remains in the castle paying off pressing claims 'with money. that is still pouring in from abroad.

The bottom leaf, the Greek. expert says, is never used in his country, all of it that is har- vested there gong to cigarette manu- facturers on this side of the Atlan- tic, who pay from 70 to 75 cents a pound for what is the most inferior grade of Turkish. The choice leaf goes into shose varieties of Turkish and Egyptian cigarettes that retail at shockingly high prices per ounce in tobacco shops in Canada' and the United States. Such leaf is worth up to $5 or $6 a pound when of the prime grades and from $2 to $3 for the grades which are picked from the middle 'of the plant. Good flue cured tobacco raised in this district last year went for from 20 to 22 cents a pound. The only operation performed on flue cured 'tobacco that is omilted in raising Turkish 'is' the topping, 'and the Turkish is 'allowed to grow to full height and flower before the har- vest begins. It grows more rapidly than flue cured or Burley and ex- trict declare that 'with proper cul- tivation and fertilization, it should produce. from 800 to 900 pounds to the acre. Four Experts Here At present there are just four men in the district who really know any- thing about the difficult and delicate job of harvesting, curing and grad- ing. They are Gregory, two fellow townsmen of his , whom the Hon. Robt .Forke was persuaded to ad- mit to: Canada, on posting of bonds for each, add another Greek who has: been in Canada some years and who was recruited locally. They face an appalling task in completing the harvest, and Gregory says that unless he can obtain adequate help from 'his native country, the exeperi- ment will have to be given up, prom- ising as it is. So far, Mr. Forke has been very chary about admitting the Greek la- bor in sufficient numbers to take care of any sizeable erop, but the men who backed Gregory i in his experi- ment say' they are going to try 'to persuade the minister of immigra- tion to permit thc entry of expert Greek tobacco workers in sufficient numbers to handle and care for the the crop, providing financial returns from this year's experiment prove remunerative. THE STRANGE CASE OF BURLEIGH GRIMES New York, August 8.---The strange case of Burleigh Grimes, now pitching the greatest ball of his long career for the Pittsburgh Pirates after being traded by the Robins and Giants for unexplained reasons, may be traced back to his youth as a major leaguer. Burleigh, after a period of sea- soning in the south, broke into the big show with the Pirates late in 1916, remaining with the Bucs in 1917 'before being traded to Brook- lyn. In less than two seasons with the Pirates, Grimes won five and lost 19 games. It has taken a long time for Bur- leigh to begin "getting out of the red," so far as his record as Pir- ate goes, but once started he has made a rapid job of it. In a season and a half, he now has won more than 40 games as against some 15 sole 15 defeats. . RUST PROOF WHEAT IS LONG WAY OFF Resistant Varieties of Grain Are Gradually Being Developed Ottawa. Aug. 8--The hopes that have been raised in the past few weeks by the reports that Canada has at. last achieved a rust-proof wheat are doomed to disappoint- ment. The scientists, cerealists and agriculturalists of the dominion are on the way to the rust-proof wheat, but the philosopher's stone to turn red rust to golden wheat has yet to be found. Two press reports recently have referred to "rust-proof" 'wheat, but it is only rust-resistant wheat which has been developed and several va- rieties of this. It was stated that "rust-proof" wheat had been discov- ered when, in reality, only an excep- tionally : sust-resistant' = wheat | had been arrived at. There will be many months of rescarch yet before the work is completed, A few days ago it was stated that L. H. Newman, the dominion cereal- ist had gone to England to watch the baking of flour made from "rust proof" wheat. Mr. Newman went over to look into export conditions. When a rust-proof" wheat is discov- ered the baking tests will be made in Canada as they were in the case of Marquis wheat, or Garnet, Ruby and other. wheats, Canada suffers an annual loss of 25,000,000 through cercal grain rust, and an associate committee #8 the National Research Council has been established. The dominion govern- of the first Turkish cigarette te ever to be grown in Canada in com- mercial quantities is now in full Swing in this district, and has de- monstrated conclusively that this va- riety' of tobacco grows in this cli- mate even better than it grows in Macedonia, which has been the cen- tre of its culture for centuries. Six farmers in this district put in 100 acres to the new variety of to- bacco, and James Gregory of Flor- for the express purpose of trying to establish the. culture of Turkish to- bacco here, says that he expects a yield of about 65000 pounds from the experimental plots, - The crop should bring, Gregory says, from 75 cents to $5 a pound, according to grade, Gregory declares that he is well pleased with the ' quality of leaf grown here this year, and that this year's crop of the new variety has proven to him that the only qucs- tion of 'establishing the culture of Turkish tobacco successfully in Can- ada is the importation of" sufficient skilled labor from Greece to harvest and cure the crop and grade it for the market. The men in this district who joined with Gregory in the experiment are quite agreed with him that labor from Greece will be necessary to han- dle it. Tobacco: of the kind grown in this district is a crop that requires a good deal of labor, but the hand- ling of Turkish requirés infinitely more painstaking hand labor, which it will be vety difficult to induce Ca- nadians used as they are to machine methods, to take up, For instance, there is the time of picking. 'Flue cured tobacco, the main variety now grown in the Leam- ington district, can' be cut any timc a day when i is ready to cuf, and the whole plant is cut at once. But the time to pick Turkish is before spin up, and he requires a start every day on the process at about 3 o'clock in the morning. This was a shock to the farmers of this district, used as they are to early rising. Careful Harvesting For another thing, Turkish fobac- £0'is harvested, leaf by leaf.

Other investigation are of a highly technical nature, known as cytological investigations, Another division in. the research has 'to do with plant pathology. Epi- demiology is being studied to inves- tigate over-wintering, spread, via- bility of spore forms, and the condi- tions governing infection. In addifion to the rust-proof wheat the scientists are: dealing with the problems of stem rust in oats and crown rust in oats. The progress that has been rade is indicated by the fact that the loss throogh wheat' rust in Canada and the northwestern states in 1916 ap- proximated $250,000,000 and that Ca- nada alone lost 100,000,000 bushels through-it. Recent years it has been estimated at about $25,000,000. The steps taken generally "include is spon-, tack b, throughout.

Road, late Tuesday night to wait for an 'eastbound car her attention was drawn to two young children 'who had fallen asleep on one of the benches. They were huddled closely together, and bore every evidence of being lost. When they were awakened | they started crying for mother, from whom they had evidently gtrayed early 1m the afternoon. After tring to pry some informa- tion in vain, Miss 'Cook phoned the Scarboro police and placed the children ona westbound radial car, on 'which they were taken to Birch Cliff.

ALBERTA TO HAVE PARK Edmonton, Alta.; Aug, 8+A chain of provincial parks is planned by the provincial government, Premier J. E. Brownlee has announced.
