It adds that German") still has 500 merchant, ships of vari ous kinds at sea and liable to capture. capture. The figures may or may not be accurate. Coming from anti- German sources, they are to be taken, with reserve. But Germany's splendid merchant marine is gradually gradually being forced from the high seas and many of her ships are certainly certainly meeting with capture or destruction. destruction. The capture of a merchant merchant ship, unless it be a big ocean liner, attracts little attention. A single shot fired by ;a torpedo boat against a cruiser seems a greater event. But in the capture of merchant merchant ships and the gradual extinction extinction of foreign trade we see one of the great- silent, unnoted battles of the war.

The actual value of the merchant marine that may be captured or crippled during the war is equal to a whole fleet of dreadnoughts, battleships, battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats and submarines. And it takes much longer to create a merchant marine than it does an effective naval naval force. These silent battle•• de voted to the destruction of useful instruments of commerce and annihilating annihilating the accumulations of years of thrift are bad enough when waged waged between hostile nations. Unfortunately Unfortunately they do not stop here. Every nation at war is waging a silent silent battle against itself and destroying destroying its own useful accumulations accumulations as effectively as it destroys those of the enemy. It is moving with fatal military effectiveness on its own resources of wealth, prosperity prosperity and humankind. It is destroying destroying what it has taken years to build up just as completely as if it were dropping bombs on its own industries industries every day from airships. It is winning victories in the silence against itself that future generations generations will feel like overwhelming defeats. _ EFFICIENCY first, last and all the time is the chief feature of the courses of instruction instruction in the famous ELLIOTT Toronto.

Dated at Bowmanville the Twenty-seventh tlaf of August, 1914. __ A. E. McLaughlin, Drawer Y. Bowmanville Solicitor for the said Henry Clark Bennett and Richard Freeman Bennett. 36-3w In the Surrogàte Court of the United Counties ôf Northum berland and Durham. Curious paradox that a nation cannot fight its enemy without also fighting itself! Strange irony that destruction abroad can be wrought only by means of a possibly greater destruction at home ! Prophetic fact that no nation can strike another another nation to-day without the bared steel entering its own breast, driven by its own unconscious hand ! The silent, unnoted battles in which industry is robbed of its wage and the future mortgaged for generations, in which useful capital capital is destroyed, at home and abroad with impartial hand, have all the tragedy but none of the glory of military struggles. But in the long event they may be equally decisive. THE NOISE OF BATTLE. Carries Farther Than the Thunder of the Clouds. The sound of gun fire carries far and the thunder of a big battle travels farther than the thunder of the clouds. Sometimes the booming of guns over land or sea- has been mistaken for thunder, and often when men are nervously listening for the sound of war thunder rumblings rumblings have been mistaken for cannonading. cannonading. Before and directly after the opening of hostilities between Germany Germany and the allies persons know- ing that French, British and Ger- cruisem were not far off the European authorities figured that when the Balkan war began and there was dread among the common people that a general war might result, result, nearly. $350,000,000 in gold was hoarded in three countries in sums ranging from a gold piece or two up to tens of thousands of dollars. Austria-Hungary was credited with hiding away $150,OOOiOOO, Germany $55,000,000, and France $130,000,- 000. This was money which had been traced into those countries just before before the Balkan hostilities began and after war started. In addition to this vast sum there was an un- guessable quantity of gold already buried in the ground. Russia is-believed to have tens of thousands, of hoarders of money. The sign of wealth would mean the coming 'of the tax. collector, and among the men who look poor are owners of countless weight in gold. The great Imperial war chest has behind it, if the signs mean anything, anything, other sums in little war chests--gold which the Government might draw out if it offered lands for sale, or bonds the people would trust, or opportunities in commerce heretofore denied them. England has its hidden hoards, no one knows how. large or how many, but there is concealed in England nothing like the amount that is hidden in continental Europe, Europe, where foiÿign armies have only to cross a surveyed boundary line to raid their enemies. Turkey, whose people have been terrorized for ages, has more lost hoards than the world will ever know about, because because there the hoarding has gone on for ages. Spain Has Millions. Spain has 'millions of dollars in gold, silver, pearls and gems buried and lost in a thousand ancient ancient castles, monasteries and other public buildings. In the hey-day of her glory Spain imported countless countless millions of gold and silver from the Americas, and faithless officials made away with great sums in bullion, bullion, hiding it away--an 1 many of them never recovered it. India is the bottomless pit of the world's gold. In one year India imported imported $300,000,000, and there has never been a time, apparently, when India- was not importing gold, silver, and precious jewels. In the temples of India there are said to be $1,800,000,000 in precious metal and precious stones. India has more fine pearls than all the rest of the world put together. They have even gold cannons there--cannons that weigh 280 pounds each. The tourists sees some of this gold ; if a visitor should attend a function given by one of the princes of India he would see. jewels whose value he could not estimate. . Afghan, Afghan, Mogul, Tartar _ raiding through India, found millions upon millions, but the troops did not find it all. In the ground,, in places where none could find or would suspect, suspect, is the vast wealth which the natives of India bury, and keep buried. The Ameer of Bokhara, a Russian vassal in Central Asia, is said to have been accumulating a hoard amounting to $8,000,000 a year.

S5.5w Solicitors for the Executrix. coast of the United States reported the sound of cannonading at sea. Many people in the coast towns of EnglandVeported hearing firing in parts of the North Sea where no ships were fighting. Perhaps, as coming events cast their shadows before, they also cast their echoes before. But the sound of the booming guns goes far. During the siege of Paris the sound of -the German guns was heard at Dieppe, 90 miles away. One of the historians at Waterloo vouches for the statement that the roar and din of that wonderful battle battle was heard 125 miles from the firing line. CHEESE WAFERS The bit of cheese baked into these crisp biscuits produces a flavor that is as enjoyable enjoyable as it is unique. For picnic luncheons and al fresco teas nothing could be better. Egypt and along the north shore of Africa the Barbary Coast people have their hoards estimated by the millions. The lost treasure of the Incas is estimated at $600,000,000 in gold. . I11 Ancient Vaults. In the ruins of Carthage is a vault that holds the treasure of the vandal Gene série, which was not found^ when ..Carthage finally fell. The buried treasure of Carcassonne in southern France was put away when tlie Huns and Slavs rangée pver Europe trying to exterminate the Latins. Alaric the Goth looted Rome and cached his treasure in Carcassonne, tradition says, in a deep cave and killed the men- who helped him stow it away, and it .has never been found. This treasure was part of it from Solomonjs Temple, Titus having raided "Ternsalem and made away with the treasure that Solomon had gathered up and which was part of it loot that King David had captured captured in his great wars of conquest and defence. There was the accumulation accumulation of ten centuries of profit in the Temple of Solomon. The loot of ancient Rome, the loot of Constantinople, of Calcutta, Bombay, Pekin, with the treasure ships captured at sea, paid the price of capture. There were raids on the treasure towns of Spanish America which made the pirates wealthy. But the capture of bullion and the exaction of ransom failed to compensate the victors from about the time of the Napoleonic wars. '• Fortunes in Jewels. Wars of conquest followed wars seeking loot. "Nevertheless the modern modern wars are accompanied by opportunities opportunities of loot which are hardly paralleled in ancient history. Thus the defeat of France resulted in the payment to Germany of $1,000,000,- 000 after the war of 1870--a tribute payment hardly rivalled in ancient days. If France and Russia should conquer, Germany will doubtless be compelled to stagger under such an exaction of tribute as no ancient Caesar ever dreamed. If the hoards of Europe could be tapped : --if the hidden treasures of European cities should be tapped by invading armies--the possibilities of loot in jewels and precious metals are beyond compute. But all the loot possible would not compensate for the hundreds of thousands of ounces of gold which must be paid each day for army sustenance and equipment. In olden times wars paid for themselves, reckoning from the viewpoint of the victors. Wars were then for loot. The ships of'the conquerors returned from across the seas with treasure--they even went to war loaded with treasure for emergencies, as witness the Spanish Armada, whose gold is still the dream of fortune-seekers. The war chests of Europe are supposed supposed to contain about $2,000,000,- 000 in gold coin and bullion. What ^possibilities of loot this indicates is in some measure understandable when one considers that this means about 50,000 tons of yellow metal-- and no mention is made of the bushels bushels of diamonds, rubies, pearls and gems also in peril. --* - The canneries of the .

Mosquitoes can breed only in water, water, notwithstanding the many popular statements to the contrary.- The whole structure of the young mosquito fits* it for a, life only in the water. So in combating mosquitoes, mosquitoes, the obvious remedy is to remove the breeding places. No jpool or collection of water is too small or too filthy to serve such a purpose. The only requisite is that it be stagnant and that it remains permanent long enough for the mosquito mosquito wrigglers to reach . full growth. Care must be used, therefore, therefore, in searching for breeding places so as not to overlook some of the smaller ones. Draining of marshy lands, or sometimes filling of such places, dredging of the margins of lakes so that there are no weedy shallows left, and the introduction of small fish are the best remedies to give permanent relief. A film of kerosene kerosene or light fuel oil placed on the surface of the water prevents the wrigglers from breathing and kills them. About one ounce of oil will cover a surface area . of .fifteen square feet. It must be renewed once in two or three weeks. The man who gets the most oni of life is the man who puts the rims into it.
