talk to you about a few of the sol diers on board who are foip the most part sound asleep or perhaps keeping a midnight vigil mtome of the cabins over a bottle of ginger ale or malted milk all is so quiet up here and very dark one can discern the port lights of one column and te starboard lights of the other and get an occasional glimpse of the far out lights of the cruisers with their all seeing and vigi lant eyes apart from the rhythme throb throb of the engines all is silent save for that periodica plaintive sing song call of the lookout forward in the crowsnest who from his eerie calls alls well lights burning bright sir the invisibility of the lookout of the foremast itself gives an uncanny touch to the effect pro duced and onectha ii the voice belongs to the spirit of the sea and not to jack tar a b which letters mean able seaman no small honor if not the award of a univeis- sity faculty under the influence of the night and the voice one begins to moralize on this message of the sea and its wealth of moral and spiritual significance what a sermon could be constructed on that call 01 the night and what a wealth of re assurance is contained in those simple words of comfort i wish to tell you about the adjut ant of the 4th battalion captain j d glover native of orulla he was not a halton man- of course but sinco we all knew him and loved him has a place in these documents captain qlover was adjutant for the first nine months of the batta lions history he had of course many successors but i doubt iftwy of them was so universally known or loved by all ranks of the battalion every word and gesture was an assurance that he knew his work and this add ed to a jaunty debonnalr personality and a character as clean and stainless as that of sir galahad nimself made a composition that dovetailed exact ly into the requirements of the ideal adjutant when captain glover smiled the battalion smiled when his face clouded so did the battalions it responded to- all his moods his face was the barometer on which was writt en the heart beats of the 4th batta hoft an lis smiles and tears all its emotions were i asked to name one soldier who embodied all those great qualities that made the 1st canadian division what it was the typical re presentative of the 1st canadians i would without hesitation nominate captain jack glover adjutant of the 4th battalion cejf i must tell you about dicky rtikes major r raikes of midland- major ralkes was something of a tory very much of a physician a great deal of a philosopher and one hundred per cent of a gentleman hia effervescent spirits never ceas ed to bubble whatever the atmos pheric conditions and his genial smile and hair trigger laugh were as great a benefit to our souls as his pills and lotions to our physical disorders he also was a buttress to the early battalion served it till replaced by a younger man to retire to england and to medical employment more consistent with his years it is a tribute to such men major raikes that the division reached eng land without a casualty and with no serious nidunlc to demand the isola tion of any one of iva seventeen batta- liona oroqiex formations fssw of

insects called a people by solomon there are some who are ex pert farmers these ant there are two species collect the seeds of various plants in autumn and store them in granaries underground some special treatment by the ants hinders the germination of the seeds though they are in a situation favorable to sprouting and when the ants are prevented from hav ing access to their granaries germina tion takes place almost at once noth ing is done to sterilize the seeds for when it suits their purpose a portion of the stock is allowed to sprout but only under control as a maltster sprouts his barley sufficiently to cause the transformation of the seeds starch into the sugar root and stem are then bitten off and the seeds are dried in the sun for use as a food several indian ants have similar habits but the goahead agricultural ants of texas anu flordia have lm proved upon the ancient methods of the old world harvesters the ameri cans not only harvest grain but grow it first on an area of about four yards in diameter surrounding the main entrance of their nest they ex- ricate with their jaws every plant other than the socalled antrlce which thus becomes a pure crop and in the absence of all competition flour ishes these ants have also a clear idea of the importance of facilitating transport by making broad straight roads through the bush and keeping them clear of encroaching weeds some of their grain stores are said to be at a depth of fifteen feet below the surface apparently in order that seeds shall not be subject to the influence that normally brings about germina tion in galleries hear the surface they can induce germination when they wish these agricultural ants have two classes of wprkers major and minor the majors conspicuous owing to their big heads and capable jaws with which they crack the hard grain for general consumption erg market settles down the imports of- eggs from the united stfiti2s have now practically ceased for the current season a few carloads are reported to have come in recently but had been purchased on a previous order the egg market has settled down quite early this year to a spring storing basis and prices at a majority of producing points are considerably lower than a year ago with mild weather prevailing in most producing districts ft is not improbable that the movement into storage will get under way in earnest within the next week or so poultry industry booms speaking at an agricultral confer ence in london recently w r reek declared that a few years ago the on tario poultry industry was in the dol- drums but lna today canadians con sume more eggs per capita than any other nation in the world the direct result of a customer getting a guaran tee with every purchase in the wayof having the satisfaction that the eggs bought had undergone a careful in spection before being placed on the public market if this were developed along other agricultural lines the in dustry would be placed ai a
