Sir Ernest Shackleton, who so near- ly reached the South Pole, told a fashionabl: audience in London the other day, what it feels like to be fenlly hungry. In his diary, written during the last stage of the journey, he had reeorded the entry "Very hun: gry; dreaming of food all night and thinking of food all day." His party had, he said, been hungry for three months at<that time with only one full weal and that on Christmas day. If one of the party dropped a crumb from the one hiscuit allowed him daily, he would wet the tip of his finger and pick 'it up so that not a morsel might escape: The men, Shackleton said, often asked each other how it was that starving people in eities did not break into bake shops and help themselves. 1i there had been a bake shop within reach of Shackle: ton and his followers during their pagiod of semi-starvation they cere any uld have helped themselves.

POSSIBILITY IN PEAT, And Canada Can Produce Vast Tons Of It It has been estimated, says Dr. Haanel, in an article in Industrial Canada, that there are 36,000 squaro miles of peat bog in Canada capable of producing a fuel equivalent to that contained in fourteen billion tons of coal. Various efforts have been made, at liffierent ttmes, to turn these resources to account, but so far without any great measure of success. Lately the dominion government has turned its attention to the matter and, with a view of learning what can be done, a neat bog covering 300 acres was some time snce acquired near Caledonia Springs, Ont. This action was fol- lowed by levelling and drainage works the erection of storage accommoda tion for 300 tons of dried peat and the installation of machinery for the purpose of preparing the peat for use ns fuel will -begen next month. The experiment will be watched with interest. Next to the development of electrical 'energy, and the appleaticn of the same to the making of steel, there is' nothing which contains more of promise for the industrial develop- ment of Ontavo than the possitle uti | lization of this bog fae! I the ex-| periment atl Caledonia &, rings proves successful even the Trent Valley canal may prove of value as a means of transporting peat from Holland River marsh to various points served by the canal.

During the war between Spain and the United States, there were over twenty thous- and cases of typhoid and fifteen hun- dred deaths during the three and a half months when ome hundred and twenty thousand men were in camp. It is, therefore, peculiarly fitting that the testing of an antitoxin for typhoid should have been enthusias- tically. undertaken by the officers of the medical corps of the Unsted States army. The tests, which were begun on Monday of this week, consisted in the innoculation of three hundred men of the coast artillery fordes, who volunteered for the purpose, with the mew vires whith had been the subject of Yong experiments In the phvern- ment labordtories at Washington.
