Never an active palitician, he yet was honored by those who were, and was made King's Printer and FPost- master-General of Nova Scotia. His gon Joseph was born in 1808, and received little regular education. At the age of 13 he went into the office of The Halifax Gazette as printer's *'devil."" For 11 yedrs he set type, wrote poems and sketches, and mas- tered the somewhat varied accom- plishments of a journalist of the time. In 1827 he entered into part- nership in another newspaper, but sold out his share within the year, and secured The Novg Scotian for $5,250.

Above the roar of Niagara Falls ink they can hear. the great cataract's knell being rung by science. Lord Kelvin's prediction that the falls in the course of time will disappear is, they apprehend, near fulfilment. Man has already be- gun to turn to account some of the tremendous energies of that leap of waters. . Immense power works are in operation on the New York bank of the Niagara, and three companies are preparing for the development of electricity on a prodigious scale' on the Ontario side. Is this conversion of hydraulic into electrical power likely to continue until, the Water shall be wholly divert from its course over--the falls. into. penstocks carrying it into power-houses at the foot of the blufi? Some alarm on this point has recently been express- ed in New York State by persons who think that the great scenic fea- tures of nature should be conserved, even though demands of science .and industry have to be denied. The pro- tests that have been made against the mechanizing of the falls 'e the subject of a special news article and an editorial in The New York Tri- bune of Sunday. Artists, photo- graphers, lovers of natural scenery, power interests, and persons con- cerned in the tourist trafi¢ were in- terviewed, and a considerable vol- ume of opinion was found inclined to the view that the upper Waters will in a. compargtively short time be. conducted . to - the - lower level through power canals and tunnels. By several practical men, however, the opinion was expressed that the falls would remain, notwithstanding any drain kept up on power ac: count. It is pointed out that the river is higher above the falls than at them, and that consequently the tapping of the stream at points slightly. above the brink of the cata- ract will only accelerate the move- ment of the stream. That accelera- tion is not likely to be brought at such a rate as to Cause any con- traction of the great storage basin, Lake Erie. Until that mill pond de- clines . markedly from its present volume there is little danger of pow- er development greatly checking the impetuosity of the falls. Lake Erie is a shallow reservoir. Its bottom is not far below the level of its out- let, so that the upper Niagara is reasonably certain of continuing to flow as strongly as ever, even though hall a dozen power vents are opened for it at the falls, It is complained that the developments on the Canadian side are marxing the scenery, because the buildings are un- sightly. That complaint is unfound- ed. The fact that all the contracts for power development have been made with the Queen Victoria Park Commissioners is in itself a guaran- tee that the natural grandeur and beauty of the spot will be protected. Aesthetic considerations have been taken into account in all the agree- ments. Unsightly buildings are not likely to be seem on our side it the present policy of fostering the natural scen- ery. ---------------- A Neglected Branch. is not a more neglected There | branch of education in Canada than that of reading aloud.

Chariéy Ross, the commander of the Canadian Scouts, seems to be in hard luck. But Be has been in hard Tuck before. The plainsman has had a cheq "history, but he = usually has come out on top. Word 'comes from Cape Town that Ross has skipped to Portuguese territory, for the very reason that he has perpetrated crimes that are liable to jand him in the Cape Colony. peni- tentiary; but the scout"s friends in Toron they are not few--as- sert that he will never serve a term. He will, in ll probability, be allow- ed to stay im a Bay, if he so elects, But the probability is that he will take ship for the United States, and he will doubtless bob up in Montana before many months are over. Ross never put on any frills as be- ing a particularly moral man, says Day by Day, in The News, Toronto. His talk was Rot the kind of talk that is current in the best circles; but as a scout he was unrivalled. That is the reason for his securing the post that hesheld before disaster overtook him. When war was de clared Ross was in Montana, where he had a sheep ranch. He is a born fighter, & born scout and a bora loader of men--if the men are of the kind that he would himself select. Early in November, of 1899, Ross heard that fi was on in South Africa, and he pulled tp stakes and headed for Ottawa. There he had a valugble friend in Lord Minto, Ia 1885 the Governor'General, as every- body knows, Was ons of General Middleton's most trusted aides in the Northwest rei end he met Charley Ross at Battleford. Ross was to the Lord Melqund of those days & new type. He could ride, shoot and fight as well as any man between Winnipeg and the coast, and he was also a crack scout. Ross and - the present Governor-General struck up a great friendship, 'and when the war in South Africa began the famous scout sold his sheep ranch in Montana and took the first train for Ottawa, In addition to the Governor-General he had an ex- cellent friend in Frank Newby, was a member of the Ottawa Sharp- shooters' corps in the rebellion year. Mr. Newby was, and is, practically intimate with' Lord; Minto, and when Ross arrived In the Capital he ac- companied him to Rideau Hall. Ross was gnxious to 'join the second con- tingent as 'an officer, but nominecs for commissions i the corps were falling over each: other. Pretty near- ly every member of Parliament from all the Provinces except Quebec Was anxious to get some constituent a commission, and even the Governor- General was unable to give Ross ah officer's post. 'The best that he could do was to secure for him pas- sage on one of the troopships that took to Table Bay Canada's second contribution of men. But "Gat!" Howard was on that boat, and . Gat was a great friend of Charley Ross. Tt was not long before the pair framed up a plan whereby Ross was to be attached to the second contin- gent as a scout. His worth was undeniable, and the Colonel was glad to have his 'services. There was, how- ever, one strong objection. Ross was' not a British subject, and he did not conceal the fact. He declared his antagonism to all 'monarchial forms of government, and he an- nounced that he would not take the oath. The Colonel rejoined by stat- ing that he would not take Ross on the strength unless he would swear allegiance. Ross swore allegiance, but, to his own satisfaction, got even by immediately announcing that he would become an American citizen again as soon as the: war should end. His career in Africa was the talk of pretty pearly the emtire army. As a looter he was unrivalled by even the Germans, Russians and Ameri- cans who played havoc in Pekin, He frankly acknowledged that he had a houseful of looted goods in Pretoria, and, when protest was made, he in- formed his interlocutors that their best plan was to go to Gehenna. When Gat Howard was murdered by the Boers Ross became command- of the Canadian Scouts. There are in Toronto some men who fought under him, and their stories of his methods are far from being reassuring, He had all of the Ameri- can's hatred of the negro, and it is on record that in one instance he killed a Kaffir who was glow in obey- ing him. Ross had a curious idea of warfare; an idea which he had con- tracted in his many years of Indian fighting. His plan was to make things as uncomfortable as possible for the enemy. There is in Toronto more than one man Who fought un- der him, and who is ready to make oath and say that he has been in- structed by Charley Ross to take no prisoners, "because," 'as Ross an- nounced, "the corps will have to share rations if we take prisoners." The result was that many a Boer, who would have been brought into the British lines by a British regi- ment, was shot down by Ross' men. It is unfair to refer to them as "the Canadian Scouts." Not tem per cent. of them were Canadians. They were all sorts. Ross himself is au- thority for the statement that nine different languages were spoken in the alleged Canadian Scouts. But it is undeniable that they were good ant Meleod's drug fighters. 'War is hell"' has becomes a trite remark. The Canadian Scouts made it particularly hellish. There are, and will be, things said of Ross that are mot strictly true. It is charged against him that be was a libertine. That is not the fact. His inclinations did not run in that form of vice. He was, and is, tough; norribly tough. He never dE ------ 1. G. BOGART, M.D, C.M,, FORMER RESIDENT HOUSE SUR- ston General Ho n of the Ki Hos Atal.

It is a system, but the men them- selvef, taking pride in the reputa- tion of the force, deserve the great- est credit. In all new parts of America the work of settlement has been preced- ed by periods of lawlessness, but in the Canadian West, thanks to the mounted police, there has been lit- tle of this. The force exists not to punish, but to discourage crime, In dealing with the Indians, the police have not made war on them because some of them have committed crimes, but have always made it a point to arrest the guilty individ- uals, and them only, and carry them off to regular trial before the proper authorities, The plan has not been to kill a murderer, but to arrest him and have him tried, precisely as would be done with a white man guilty of the same 'crime. The jus- tice of it early began to be under- stood by the Indians. 'That police force is a body of which Canada may be justly proud. e------------ Out-of-Door Days. These dare the out-of-door days. The mind is in the fields even if the body is reluctant to leave the hearth. Man is just as much a thrall of the seasons as of circumstances. They bend him to their humor. To the witchery of their hypnotic sugges- tion, the touch of wind and rain, of sun and snow and twilight, ne re- sponds like an instrument. The lover of nature is he who is the perfect clairvoyant. He yields not liké the boy with vague gladness, but under- standingly and with awe He turns to the woods as a man turns in at his own gate. The birds are truly his "little brothers of the air The flowers, votaries like himself, have come forth to worship, dumbly 'an+ swering a call, faint but clear as an astral bell. So the philosopher finds his joy, taking his worldly wisdom to the solitudes, "verilying his au- thorities,'" 'though not in the sense intended by the Oxford don, who died with the words on his lips. These are the out-of-door days, but the young men would hardly ac- cept the foregoing as a literal trans- lation of their thoughts on the sub- ject. Sport is a synonym for "the good old summer time' with thous- ands of Canadians. They eagerly look forward to the season, close at band, when on the lacrosse field the ball shall be "faced" for the opening game, when the baseball umpire shall 'utter the terse command, Play ball!" when the pistol shall start the sprinters and the scullers, or when the ear shall be deafened by the mighty shout, "They're offt*" ee ---- Proportion Between the Sexes. Statistics shows that the propor- tion between the sexes of the new porn is 106.3 boys to 100 girls. Boys are therefore considerably' in excess at birth, the male majority amounting to 63,000 in every mil- Jion human beings. This seems to con- tradiet the general observation to the effect that women are in the majority. = contradiction is, however, ex- plained by the fact that the propor- tion at birth does not remain Sta- tionary, but is reversed in the later years of life. Until the age of ten there is still an excess of boys, but from the age of ten to twenty the proportion 'between the sdXes slowly adjusts itself, and in the third de- cade of life the proportion becomes 100 males to 102.7 females. This ex- cess of females grows continually, so that at the age of 70 #he propor- tion becomes 100 males to 122.3 fe- males, Ii you want tinsmithing or plamb- ing work dove, go to Taylor & Ham- ilton's, 183 Wellington street, Tele- phone 418.
