One of the Garrison; Or, A Hysterious Affair. CHAPTKK XI.-(Confd.) "Who were they?" I asked.

"A* to who they are or won-," the cap- tain answered, puffing thoughtfully at his nearest the devil. Then you saw your- self. Captain Meadows, how they went on during the voyage, reading book that was writ on wood inoU'ad o' paper, and silting up right through the night to jabber together on the quarter dock.

I could never MH> why the crew should fear them, and the mate, too: he should have bad moro sense." "Fear them!" I ejaculated. In surprise. "Y'". they had some preposterouo Idea that they were dangerous shipmates. I have no doubt If you were to go down Into the kitchen you would find that they are all agreed that our passengers ware the cause of the whole disaster." As ,lhe captain was speaking the parlor dfior'opened and the mate of the bark, a tall, red-bearded sailor, stepped Iu. Ho said the captain. "Indeed they did, and if I did not toll you sooner It was becauao you were al- ways ready to laugh at what I oaid about them.

The great bosom of tho bay waa still Electric M'aves Pass From Person to Person. A French scientist, M. Fayol, as- eert that he hae made .an impor- tant discovery in establishing the polarity of the human body. The theory that man. has positive and negative magnetic poles was advanced long ago, but thus far no instrument has be-en invented capa- ble of measuring the electric force satisfactorily. M. Fayol has perfected an instru- ment with which, he says, delicate observations of the vital magnetic fluid emitted by the human body can bo made. He asserts that the positive pole centres in th right hand, and the negative in the left, while with left-handed persons the reverse is the case. The scientist's instrument con- sists of an adjustable oak board, whereon a delicate me.tal cylinder Outing Shoes For Everybody THE PERFECT SHOE FOR SUMMER SPORTS ASK YOUR DEALER. ! swings in a perpendicular position between ball bearings, in or-der to minimize the friction. The opera- tor places his left hand on tli board, the palm facing the cylinder and the thu'mh uppermost. In a. moment the- cylinder begins to re-- volve, slowly at first,, and them, faster, in the same direction as the* hands of a watch. If th right hand is placed behind the cylinder it will revolve in th, opposite direction. Let another person put his right hand on the shoulder of the first, and the cylinder -will move even more rapidly. Mr. Fayol states that he is abla by this means to measure the vital. magnetic force of subjects who put their hands before the instrument. No reaction is observable on the instrument in the case of infante, but between tho ages of 25 and 4S years, the magnetic force as record- od increase* annually. After the latter age, it diminishes till it al- most vanishes in the case of the very old. This magnetism may pass from person to person, and in the vital emanation of one may be received by another and stored up by him. The thy>ry of sympathy souls is ex-' plained by the assumption that' such persons have similar magnetiol personalities. ring in the east when we made our heVvl.S'oSlvS.lvel,: and its%-.v^ ^er" 'or the second time to the scene OfjtesjaWBf into sobs against tho rock., but iipwreck.

The aim of man from tha beginning hat been to make his building material* as nearly Hke nat- ural atotte at po^ible. The great labor required to quarry itone led him to seek various manufactured substitutes. The only reason he ever wed wood waa that it was eatiest to get and most convenient to use. Wood is no longer eaty to get. Like most building material, its cost is in- creasing at an alanuiug rate. The cost of concrete is decreasing. So, from the standpoint of either ser- vice or economy, Concrete is the belt building material. Canada's farmers arc using more concrete, in proportion to their numbers, than the fanners of any other country . Why ? Because they are being supplied with Canada Cement cement of tbe highest ]}o*ible quality, which in- sures the success of their Concrete work. The secret of concrete'* popularity in Canada lies ia the fact that while we have bean advertising tha via of concrete, we have al*o been producing, by scien- tific methods, o cement so uniformly high ia quality that the concrete made with it gives th complete satisfaction our advertisement* promised.
