The whole earth Is beginning to be fairly well haxneaaed up wit^i networks of both communication and measure- i merit; much Ailing remains to be done, but above all the large links must be accurately measured. Originally the distances between the continents could ; only be measured when cables were laid, and it required the undivided ser- ' vice of a whole cable during periods of time campariscm an expensive pro- cess. Now large radio stations trans- mil some system of time signals, pre- j ferably either seconds beats or a i scientific vernier series as do the j French stations, and these are re- ceived at the various observatories of . the world where accurate clocks are | maintained and frequent star obser- vations are used to check ihem. Dif- ferences of longitude are deduced from tbse almost daily throughout the year and the results show very Interesting systematic cyclic changes of a frac- tion of a second which are far above any errors to be expected from either the clocks or observations, and these are being studied by international co- operation among the observatories.

Th amount of fuel which these metal vehicles an- nually consume IB millions of gallons, and to supply this enormous demand a very extensive and lucrative Indus- try baa been built up in Canada. Ac- cording to the Dom'ni'on Bureau of Statistics there were In operation in Canada In 1918, 10 petroleum refiner- lea, three of which are located tn On- tario; three tn Alberta; and one In each of the provinces of Nova Scotia, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Brltlsfc Columbia. Capital invested In these various re- fineries during the fiscal year 1918 amounted to 136,745.410, at which $23,- 635,257 represented land, buildings, fixtures, machinery and tools. Bi!!s receivable, cash, trading and operating accounts amounted to $407,408, while materials on hand, stocks In process-, finished products, fuel and miscellan- eous supplies' on hand were valued at $11,802,745. The cost of fuel used In the refineries was $3,242,796, of which cum, oil and gasoilnp used represent- ed $1,721,642; 247.423 tons of bitumin- ous coal worth $1,425,850; and the bal- ance, or $95,304, for petroleum, coke and natural gas. According to reports 262,641,149 gal- lons of crude oil were received at the refineries, of which quantity 12,268,184 gallons were from Canadian wells and 250,382,965 gallons Imported.

Som ot the thininr ones look on this tendency to fill out with a great deal of satis" faction, especially if the scales tell th-em they are approacbJng th aver- age, weight for persons of the-lr age and Inches. Even physicians and heal workers have often assumed that those tables of average weights, which we frequently see published on a card beside the acaJes, are the normal weights. They have considered that the body machinery of adults who were 20 per cent or more above or be- low theee figures was more or lese seri- ously impaired. Now, however, the mortality experi- ence of insurance companies has de- monstrated that those average weights may not be the best weights. Their statistics 6-how that wten we follow these average figures we may Just be taking our ideas from th bad habits of the big majority. In weights, as In other things, there is sometimes dan- ger in following the crowd. For R persons- grow older they seem Inclined to take In more food, especial- ly proteins and fats. They also be- come less Inclined to wholesome exer- cise. Tte food-using machinery Is re- quired to do mo-re work, but Is kept In lee* good condition to do It and a breakdown of the organs concerned In these processes Is hastened. The result Is the great mortality from diseases of the heart, blood ves- sels and kidneys. So many have neg- lected the restriction of diet ajid the exercise which cau avert these trou- bles that bte getting up to tne average weight is not an approach to normalcy. Those average figures are padded with the fat of those who have eaten not wisely but too well. For the- persons about thirty the average we4ght does represent the best welg-ht But persons beyond thirty have the bot chance of dodging the Grim Reaper if they are below the average weight. The amount below the average which Is most favorable Increases with advancing age. At fifty, Individuals appear to be at their best when their weight is a much aa thirty to forty pounds below the average. On the other hand, an excess ot about ten pounds In weight above the average produces th most favorable rates between the ages of twenty and twenty-fcur. This excess tapers- off until about thirty. Beyond that age. ; it is clear from Insurance statistics ', that those under the average weight ; have the bum chance to live. !
