Plaice, which affords so important a fishery in the North Sea, was remarkably scarce in the years 1916, 1917 and 1918--so much so, indeed, that the scarcity of the species was believed to be due to some cause detrimental to fish life. It is suggested that the cause in question may have been oil from sunken ships, which, . if present in considerable quantities, would be very destructive to young "fry" swimming in schools at the surface. Whatever may have been the fact in the case, it is certain that oil only one ten-millionth of an inch thick will ( __. form a continuous film on the surface j testa of water. Thus, as it is reckoned, all j taken into full the oceans of the world might be j tunately, th such a film by 500,000 , now been of petroleum, which a fa of large ships could carry. When is the Sun Set? Strange as it may seem, this is a point which has 'aken some settling. Was the actual setting when the sun's lower edge or upper edge touched the horizon?

Surnames and Their Origin Source--A fl The ly i of Ros In i s full of plexities. While there is one source from which it appears reasonably certain that a very large proporion of the families which bear it car trace it, there are many other possibilities presented upon which little light can be thrown. In the case where the word is | always combined with another in the formation of a family name the tracing of the source is simple, though the trail leads in an opposite direction so often as to make it doubtful how often the name of Rose itself is really related to these compounds. The one certain source of the name the u i old i tances, no doubt (but i question for speeula-i is a changed spelling ' which has ! try of weak nerves. Thin, pale, drawn faces and dejected ..tti-tude tell a sad tale, for nervous weakness means being tortured by morbid thoughts and unaccountable fits of depression. These sufferers are painfully sensitive and easily agitated by some chance remark. Sleeplessness robs them of energy and strength; their eyes are sunken and their limbs tremble; appetite is poor and memory often fails. This nervous exhaustion is one of the most serious evils affecting men and women of to-day. The only^way to bring back sound, vigorous health is to feed the starved nerves, which are clamoring for better,t w blood. This new blood can Pe-h^lf^**^ jng lat through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which have a direct action on the blood, and through the blood on the nervous system. That a fair use of this medicine will bring satisfactory results Is shown by the experience of Mrs. Marsh, Bass River, N.S., who says: "Following a run down condition, I became practically a nervous wreck. The doctor who was called in said the trouble was inflammation of the nerves: It grew so bad that practically I had no control of my lower limbs, and had to go about with crutches. Quite aside from fering I had a small family and a baby in arms to care for and I became much discouraged, as I did not appear to be growing better. One evening my husband met an aged doctor on the street and told him of my condition. He asked my husband who was attending me, and when told said: "I terfere. but why not Williams' Pink Pills.

He had a young lady with him, and --to show off--he yelled out to the Italian: Perhaps the biggest triumph of this kind had been nade by an ex-Guard.s officer, who lost his sight during the war. He owns a thriving, floral "business in the West End, which he personally superintends. A keen gardener before the war, he knows almost every iiower that blows, and weaves really unique aud beautiful color schemes into his decorations. He says he is able to "visualize" very clearly how his flowers appear to those possessing sight. Much of this talented artist's work appears at church weddings, etc.; and, since he was once interested in architecture, and more especially in London buildings, there is scarcely a well-known meeting place where he cannot build up his flower schemes entirely where i the bra Quick as a flas oese yelled back: "I give him a day off, mister, a think he's taken his best girl out riding in a second-hand car!"

The Duke of Kent (Queen Victoria's father) stayed in Canada three years, 1791-94, and again in 1799, as commander-in-chief at Halifax. King Edward, as Prince of Wales, visited Canada in 1860; Prince Alfred in 1861 and 1878; Prince Leopold in 1890; the Duke of York (King George V.) in 1901; and the Prince of Wales in 1919. t preened sail, "Look for my m time to nest!

The bayonets still protrude through the sod under which the soldiers stand buried. That is the striking thing about perhaps the most remarkable memorial of the war--a trench on the French front between Thiaumont and Douaumont that was occupied by the third company of the 137th Regiment. According to one story, a shell oded on the parapet and buried men alive as they stood. Accord-to another story, the Germans took the trench, crumbled and shattered by shell Are, after all its defenders were either wounded or killed, ar.d then hurriedly filled it in, and to ■U the spot left the guns of the dead soldiers upright beside them. Whichever story is true, the bayonet trench dramatically shows how heroic was the defence of Verdun. An American. Mr. George F. Rand, was so much moved at the sight that he built over the trench a monument to perpetuate the memory of the brave poilus buried below. That monument was dedicated last December with appropriate ceremonies. Meaning of San Spots. Sun spots are now thought to be a sign of the commencing debility of he dwarfed and shrunken star which ,ve call the sun. If this idea be correct they will become more frequent and larger as ages pass, until at length our much-admired orb of day is darkened and ceases to be a worthwhile source of heat. Astronomers and meteorologists are much interested in sun spots, and keep a constant watch on them. During the last few months they have been remarkably few and small. It seems to have been proved that spotted areas of the sun have a lower temperature than the bright spots of the photosphere. Hence it is inferred that quite possibly the recent relative absence of sun spots may be accoujit^ Minard's LInlm3nt for Dandruff.
