The Sensitive Modern Instrument Reveals Them--They are More Prevalent in Winter Than in Sum- mer. z, Dominion Astionomer, x says the sensitive modern in which record 'earthquakes, show that there are many little quakes ly occurring, even in Canada of these extend over days and vasionally over weeks. Writing on this subject Mr. Klotz says: "In general, they are far more pre- valent during the winter season than in the summer. These pulsations or tremors 1 call microseisins, The ques. tion naturally arises, what produces these v'Lrations? Are they due to a constau. stress in the earth's crust, which, at times, adjusts itself by a rupture along some weak line, along a fault, or are they produced by ther mometric or barometric conditions of the atmosphere? Among phenomena of the latier we may consider winds, snd the position and movements of low barometer." Careful comparisons of the earth quake records with the daily weather- maps during two years have convinced the author that the position of areas of low barometer is closely connected with these infinitesimal earthquakes, They make their appearance when lines of equal barometric pressure are closely crowded together, and they are absent when these lines are far apart, indicating slight transitions of pres sure. For some strange reason, how- ever, it seems that the area of low pressure" ust be over the water to produce the little earth-tremers. As we read: "Examination from day to day re vealed the important fact that the position of the low is a very mater ial faetor in the production of microse- isms. For instance, we have a low approaching over land from the west: ern quadrant, as they always do, showing on "the face of it a strong cyclonic movement, yet our seismo- graph does not seem to be affected by it, as long as it is to the west of Ot. tawa. However, after it has passed Ottawa and descended the St. Law- rence, apd over Newfoundland to the Atlantic! then the miscroseisms be- come very active. The important dis- covery tliat we have made is that the area of low with steep gradients to be most effective in producing microse- isms must be over water, i.e., the ocean: So far our facts seems to be well correlated, but there is one ed. Treatiat aN SOll Wissing, viel, "HOW does the area of low barometer with stegp gradients resting on the water produce the microseisms? To this question I am not yet prepared to give an answer, ™ The following points, however, Dr. Klotz regards as setthéd-«the depend. ance of these microscopic earth. movements on barometric pressure, the fact that they are due to lessened pressure over the adjacent cdean-bed rather than over the continent, and the facet that they represent vibrations of vast blocks of the earth's.crust, cov: ering tens of thousands of miles, con. tinuing for some time after the re- moval of the immediate cause. Notable Man Passes. The sudden and r ttable death of Prof. Penhallow of McGill University, will leave a blank in educational and social circles. As professor of botany, he had been with Recain for dver a quarter of a century. He sustained a wonderful enthus- iasm for his chosen studies; and had the faculty of impasting something of his own mood and feeling to his stu- dents. He did not make friends carelessly; but those in whom he felt he could re- pose confidence, and whe disclosed traits and qualities which found in himself answering response, he bound to him with hooks of steel. In the company of choice and kindred spirits, he was gay, sparkling, delightfully unconventional. He had been a wide reader, and had a well stored mind. He said bright, witty ingpiring things. One forgot the staid 'and dignified professor, who may rather have intimidated the freshman; and in social life, in the little circles which met together for a feast of rea- son and flow of soul, Prof. Penhallow was always a weloome member. While thoroughly virile, he had the delicacy of a woman. He had thought about life unconventionally. He would accept nothing which did not appeal to his reason, He smiled at cut and dry formulae which claimed to regulate life and conduct and belief. As a teacher, the late Professor Penhallow was enthusiastic, exacting; always prepared; fresh and magnetic; aver seeking for variety of expression in unfolding the mysteries of form and color, variety and persistence; always giving allurement oa study which is apt to re ung inners, who are ais Po Teel as Peter Bell felt about the "primrose by the river's brim," that to him it was a yellow primrose and nothing more.

"Dan" Mann Learned a Great Deal About Them In Early Days. "Donald D. Mann was born in As ton, which is pretty nearly as rocky as Sudbury." siys Aogustus Bridle, writing in Canada Monthly (formerly Canada-West), "and when he was a boy he knew '» mors about the prai- ries than he did about the moon. It was the woods he knew most about. Acton wax not far from the woods, and it was on one of the slowest lines of road in the world. Those days they burned eardwood on the Grand Trunk; and Mann took a few contracts get ting out cordwood for those oid elon- gatéd fire-boxes that had never smell ed soft coal: "In Acton, Mann had become handy with the broad-axe--which in the late sixties and early seventies when he was growing up was much used in getting oul barn timbers. - When he left home in 1871, and struck out 'to the lumber woods of Alpena, Michi- gan, hig first job was river-driving. He was seven and as. supple as a cat,' and the pike pole and the pea- vey wete the joy of his lite. He had been so long hankering to get away from 'Acton lary that this plunge into the Michigan wilds made him forget the schoolmaster at Acton, that used to reason with his father that Donald would never smount to much, he was afraid. He learned timber as natively as 'the duck learns water. When he got tired driving logs down the rivers, he went into a shingle mill, After that he. quit Michigan and. erossed over to Ontario. Back to the head- waters of the Trent he went and did anything he was set to do by the camp boss--learning all there was to know about the axe and the skid-road and the drive. Parry Sound has good rea- son to remember him. Nobody in those years, when Mann was a young river driver and 'camp boss and ex- pert on pork and beans, reckoned thitt in thirty years' time his private car would bow! up into the town over the line built by Mackenzie & Mann, irom Toronto to join up with the main part of the Transcontinental thread. ng the wheat belt of the prairie. But when it happened; there were a good many citizen of Parry Sound who re membered Mann." Odd Masonic Lodge Room. The only natural lodge room in the world is on the summit of Owl's Head Mountain, at Lake Memphre- magog, Canada, says The Masonic Bulletin. Here, in a great ravine, at an elevation of 2.440 feet above the level of the lake, situated due east and west, and surrounded by massive jueks ing ationd perfect seclusion, is a ledge that seems as if hewn by WE NE oF Tatars dor Ae Uae I which it is put. ' The rocks offer suitable watch tow- ers from which sentinels can readily observe the approach of eavesdrop- pers should any by rare chance pass that "way. 3 v In such a spot as this, with only the blue dome of heaven overhead and the imper trable walls on both sides, Masons of to«day imitate the habit of their ancient brethren, who, tradition says, met in just such places to perform the ceremonies of the craft. The spot is not easy of access. The ascent is difficult and at all times hazardous, though at dangerous points, - whenever: 'a meeting of - the brethren' occurs, ropes are stretched for the elimbers. This unusual lodge room has been in. use for half a century. Golden Rule Lodge 'No. 5 of Stanstead, Que- bee, was in 1857 granted a dispensa- tion to open and hold a lodge once in every year on this mountain top, the fest meeting being held July 24, 1867. The original dispensation 'for this purpose was granted by William M. Wilson, the first grand master of the grand lodge of Canada, and in 1869 the dispensation was endorsed and confirmed by John H. Graham, the first grand master of the grand lodge if Quebec. It is the only lodge in 'Xistenoe, it is said, that has a war- rant for holding regular meetings on # mountain. top.

Humors of 'a Little Known Depart- ment of Britain's System, After spending forty-six years at the British National Debt Office, for fourteen of which he has been chief clerk, Mr. A. T. King is retiring from the civil service. His reminiscences of a little under- stood department make interesting ; reading. He quotés a dear old annuit- ant who used to regularly address them as 'the National Death Office. A farmer once wrote: "Gentlemen--When a man is in pecuniary difficulties what is the best thing for him to do?" Apparently he thought that if they were able to solve so gigantic a prob- - len as the National Debt they could experience no trouble in putfing the small and personal finances of an in- dividual to rights. "I remember perfectly well," con- tinued Mr. King, "that one day = man came in to receive his annuity who was 100 years of age. Accom- panying him was his son, a sprightly young fellow of seventy, and they were a remarkable couple. I is an interesting fact, by the way, that since the first granting of these an nuities we have had only eighteen centenarian recipients. Four enly were men, and the remainder wo- men, Lots live until they are ninety- Bite, but it's the 'last lap' which tells, - "People do get angry with us some- times, and ¥ might almost suggest that some of them are even unreason- able.

Turning to another branch of the activities of the office, Mr. King said his greatest source of trouble had been people who were in search of untold wealth in the form of un claimed stock. "As a rule they have heard that a forefather of theirs worked some- where, died somewhere, and left somewhere a huge fortune, which the premises granted--must logically be somewhere. I remember an estim- able couple coming here one day with what they claimed was a genealogical table, and, after haranguing me for some time, they concluded, 'Sir, we are the missing link."

"That the National Debt is a mat- ter of serious concern to some people is proved by the gilts occasionally received.
