They Are a Source of Great Revenue te Farmers Along Lake Erie. A man driving along the shore of Lake Erie, in that somewhat inaccess- ible region adjacent Yo Selkirk in Hal: dimand County, comes upon some ob- jects set out in the lake that suggést defences against some future foreign invader. One's mind turns at suje 10) ¢ ry whether defences of this sort are not contrary to the provisions of the Rush. Bagot treaty. The apparent defences are concrete arrangements with re- cesses on the land side and a circular front sloping toward the top, facing Jncle Sam's country. A series of pipes and valves adds to the mystery Inquiry, however, shidws that the "round towers' are no more nor less than the covers of natural gas wells sunk in Lake Erie to secure the pre- cious fuel and lighting material for large Canadian cities and towns maay miles away. The fields hereabouts are studded with wells from which the farmers often reap large rentals, but the four competing companies were not content with land operations and last winter began boring under Lake Erie. They met with thé same success as on land, and at a depth of about 800 feet secured a good flow, though naturally varying in different wells. The dri! operations for the wells farthest in the lake were carried on during the winter, with the Apparatus standing on the ice, for e Erie, being shallow, is frozen for some dis- tance out during the oold weather The workmen found it a cold job, for the winds that swept over the ice fields did not suggest proximity to any banana belt. Since then the opera- tions have been extended and several ENC ras companies y wi mw oil by drilling still Jove ihe) and later on 3% is propased to make the experi ximity of the Pennsyl- vanig oil just across the lake is the basis for this belief. In the: vicinity of this gas supply most of the farmhouses are lighted from*the wells, shough the great bulk of the piped to Hamilton, and Galt. The road- sides are seamed with the Jipee of the ting companies, until one would thin he were-in a city too young to perfect its public services. Most of the houses are old and weather-stain- od from a half century's storms from tamuituous Lake Erie. Gas lighting fuel, pianos and top buggies now 1 the arrival of a happier day. e upper works of wells appear in the grain fields every few yards, and the farmer as he circles around them with his binder is only solaced by the large rental which he derives from a good producing well. One man in- deed: 'has an. automobile for himself and for each of his two sons, the fruits, it is said, of the natural 'gas well on his property. Improving the Quality of Seeds. Recent bluebook ria show the result of a test made t year by the Sued Commissioner's Stutich of the partment . of Agriculture of seed corn, field Foot, and garden seeds sold in Canada. As everyone knows, most garden seeds are sold in sealed enve- lopes, and hitherto there has been no guarantee to the purchaser of the percentage of these seeds that would germinate. The inspéctors who en- force the Seed Control Act bought 2.5% samples of seed exposed for sale by retailers and wholesalers all over Canada, and' these were sent to the Seed Laboratory for testing, with the results already mentioned. The Seed Control 'Act wis up a standard that certain "classes of seeds offered for sale mint be capable of germinating in the n of at least two- thirds of the standard recognized for good seed of the kind. If the seed comes below this standard, the pack- age must be marked according to the percentage of germination, so that the buyer may know for what he is paving. The value of this act to the agricnitarist is obvious. The act furthermore prowides that seedsmen and dealers may be prosecuted for pot ymmg with its requirements. A fu vr test was made last May in which 752 samples of garden seeds ware examined, and the examination shows that about 11 per cent. were be- low the standard. This is an improve- ment of 7 cent. over last year's test, and ws that the Seed Con- trol Act has commenced its beneficent * 3 Mr. Cornwall's Literary Tours. J. K.

The treat- ment of infants' diseases by chem- ists is regarded as having some bear- ing on infant, mortality. Herbalists are severely criticized. "Herbalists may be concerned in the spread of epidemics of infectious dis eases. During a smalipox epidemic an ointment was extensively sold which, it was asserted, would cure smallpox. The vendor was prosecuted for spread- ing the disease by this means. Wrong diagnosis and consequent mistaken treatment are also responsible for spreading infections disease. In one case smallpox was spread through treatment. as. chickenpox. . "Cou, mixtures are prescribed by herbalists indiscriminately for respir- atory diseases, which may really be tuberculosis, or chronic phthisis, and the delay entailed by such treatment seriously diminishes the ' chances of cure. Attention is called to the "irretriev- able harm" done by bonesetters. "The men who act as bonesetters are drawn largely from fhe working-class popu- lation, such' as carriers, railway por- ters and the like, jand in many cases they Are illiterate and uneducated. Some have' learned what knowledge the; from ambulance associa- ei agi bonasetters who under- take minor argical cases only do a relatively small amount of harm, though instances of disastrous results are reported.

A unique record is held by Ear! Nelson, who was eighty-eight recent- ly. He is not oply the "Father of the House of Lords," but he also en joys the umigue distinction of being hd only living peer who was a mem- ber of that assembly throughout the whale of the Victorian era. Ho was born in the reign of the third George, sa that he has lived under six sove- reigns ,and for upwards of seventy years he has drawn a pension at the | rate of $500 per week, granted by the state in petpe Tr of 1 to the descendants of the doe ah agar. Lord N indeed, came into the earldom so ng 1 ago that he has been sometimes Sunivepd with the hero of Trafalgar, once i chureh to see the pres- ent Lord Nelson, and the friend who was with her was about to describe his lordship's appearance beforehand, when the old lady exclaimed, "Oh, you needn't tell me what he is like 1 shall know him directly I set eyes on him." When asked how she could recognize the earl, the dame respond: ed, "Why, by his one eye and one arm, of course." Head of the Clan Fraser. A keen sportsman and soldier, Lord Lovat, head of the Clan Fraser-- whose engagement to the Hon. Laura Lister, the second daughter of Lord Ribbiesddle, has aroused so much in- terest--will go down to history as the commander of Lovat's Scouts, who did such excellent work during the South African campaign. A story goes that his lordship once received this telegram from a subordinate, who was injured in a _Tailway accident while on furlough: "Will not report today, as expected, on account of unavoid- able circumstances." The tone of the message was not satisfactory %o the officer, and he wired at once in reply: "Report as ordered, or give reasons." Within an hour the following message came back over the wires from a hos- pital: "Train off--can't ride; leg off -- can't walk. Will not report unless you insist."
