Canada, with h«r more than one mil- lion square nillea of tlmlKT lands cor- ered with forests containing about 150 tree •pocHiii, r^oduces the fln(wt struc- tural timber in the world as w«ll aa woods for many other industrial pur- poses: and this fact has boon strik- ingly broug-ht out In the Werabloy dls- ptay. Prominent In the exhibit Is a won- dorful array of 1S4 pane'.g of M differ- ent woods, most of which It Is demon- strated are obtainable In large quanti- ties. The woods are grouped according to character, each group being separ- ated by various exhibits of structures and articles made of these particular woods. The flra*. object that attracts the eye upon approaching the foreatry exhibit Is a large portico in the middle of the main wall, the columns supports Ing which consist of ten-foot sections of western yellow pine, with the bark hsft on. Looking through these col- umns a spacious landscape may bo seen, the main feature of which is a model of a groundwood pulp-miU, with water flowing in tJie river and out of the spillway and tall-rrces. As part of this feature of the exhibit greet rolls of t'ana<lian newsprint are shown.. Near by Ui a group of giant timbers whicli inoludes 2 solid blocks of Douglas llr, each twelve feet high and practically live feet squaie; a bpe- mnnt of Douglas flr eleven feet in diameter, and a timbc'r sixty-four feet long, sixteen inches wide, and eight inches thick. Between the panels, which are ranged along the walls, arc eight glairs cases containing Bpoclmcns of all Canadian woods; mlscelluneo'is forest products, such as artlUclul silk, yarns, textiles, wall-board, maple Kugar, spruce glim, cascara extract, cedar oil; renults of distillation of hardwoods. Including charcoal, wood alcohol, ace- tate of llm«; musical Instruments; and models showing timber tests as cai^ ried out In the Forest Troducts Lab- oratorlco. The panels and wall cases are ec^parated by larger exhibits show- ing the commercial application of the various species, such as aeroplane parts, organ fronts and pipw, piano Rounding boards, etc. The history of Canada's forests is also eloquently told on the walla, above the panels and wall cases, in a series of stage settings, ehowinj; the growth of the lumber Industry through ooit the past four centuries, the ijtages of Its development being represented by the Explorers, the PloneeTS, the Rattsmeji, and the Steam loggers. Four mural paintings tell the story of the Journey of the log from the forest to the mill, and two large pictures In Lauuchlag of H.M.S. Nelson, tt Newcastle. th» most up-to-<:Qto ship in tho world.

In tha Indu&trlal faction U exhibited a comprelieaslve group of articles manufucturd from wood, ranging from a complete bungalow of two rooms, and giant silos for the s-tcrage of farm fodder, to wooden spoons. The exhibit has attracted a groat deal of attention as shown by the large crowds whioh have constantly gathered about It and by the many In- quiries niudo of the aXendants, and uleo by the numerous articles and paragraphs that have appeared In the j British press, uiid there la no doubt that in thus making known the quality I and range of Canadian forest products to the citizens of the Empire, the ex- hibit will aid powerfully In the de- velopment of this gi-eat Industry.

Many pi-opto t^iUe their holiday In Holland on the In.'talment system. Workmen subscribe weekly to com- panies that are recognized by the Gov- ernment. When the workers h.Tve paid in a sum of money sufflclen*. to cover ex- penses, tliey are taken on conducted tours to Fiance, Germany, Italy and other European countries. This way of getting a vacation la becoming increasingly popular. What ia more It proves an education factor in the life of tho Dutch working man, who gotJ t-> know a great deal about tho customs. InDlltutlons, and politics of oUier lands beside his own. Juvenile Logic. Two small girh, says the Tatlar, were phiying together onu afternoon in the park.

"Well, It can't bo tour o'clot^k yet," replied tho other with magnificent logic, "because my mother said I was to be home at four â€"and I'm not."

"I think during our expedition we saw every reptile that South Africa; claims to possess. We encountered the wild beasts of the forest and forest and jungle, but we escaped all unpleasant incidents, as far as inter- ference from them was concerned,' Quite possibly ii%ey were much mora afraid of us than we weri; of them.

A few weekf back a French expedition succeeded for the first time in defying nature, ar.d nov/ we have to report a second occasion when the one-time impenetrable part of Africa has had to surrender to progress. On his arrival at Cape Town, Capt. Brull, ♦^'ho was in charge of the ex- pedition, remarked: "Yes, we are very glad to got here. We have covered, as far as I can judge, between 10,000 and 11,000 miles, and it has been a soij>ewhat arduous journey. We start- ed from Colomb-Bechar, on October 28, 1924, and then traveled across the vast Sahara desert to the Niger River. At that time the expedition consisted of eight cars, with trailers, and seventeen white people. We kept to the Niger River, and reached Lake Chad on December 14, thus linking up for the first time in French terri- tory, the Mediterranean with the % H) 800 hides and tusks.
