VISIT TO CANADA'S GRAVEYARD OF THE ATLANTIC. | On the Approach of the Steamer the Place Presents a Picture of Desola- tion But When One Lands the ls landers 'Are Seen to Be Happy and Busy--Many Wild 'Horses Roam Abouf--Total Population Is 30. 1 cannot imagine a more desolate icture-than that presented by Sable sland from the deck of the steamer. says a writer in The Montreal Btand- ard discussing the "graveyard of the Atlantic." Sand hills, averaging in height about forty feet above the sea level, covéred with a heavy coers: brown grass for miles on either sid: "of the main station. Only a few houses wee 'visible--the Marconi and one or two lifeboat stations and the two light- houses that tower up at the extremi- ties of the island. Ss the rest one sees nothing more than sand and ever surging waters, that break apd tess against the island shore. . But upon landing my first impres- sion of Bable Island were quite dis. pelled, and in their place came the conviction that "The Graveyard of the Atlantic," was far from being the for- saken spot which it has so often been In fact, I, like those ho live there, found it decidedly fascinating, for there is a something, that cannét be expldined which delights every visitor to The climate is perfect, the thermometer registering many de- rees higher than it does in Nova tia." Flowers of all kinds wert owing in' the garden that surrounds He, 'superintendent's house, flowers that were ad yet untouched by even thet lightest Trost. The superintendent's home, a large 'ahd modern structure, stands at the 'Wést' end of a little hollow about the 'aitfdd of 'which are to be found the houses of those who live at the main station--the lifeboat crew, the light keeper 'and the stablemen. The island is about twenty-eight miles long and one mile wide. The inhabitants dumber about thirty. Most of these are single men, though some of them are married afd have their wives with them. In case of neces- sity, all the men upon the island are prepared to man the lifeboats and put out to thé. reseue. The life-saving tnen receive the rincely renumeration of $200 a year, n addition to board and lodging, and uniforms. 1 believe that in the case of a married man the amount is in- creased to $226. There are four Mfe-saving stations on the island, all /of which are con- nected by telephone with the main station: Should a ship strand on the shoals that run out into the Atlantic' for miles at either end of the island, the main station is communicated with, and the large lifeboats (there are also surf boats at each station) with. the crew and the rooket guns are' rushed to he aoe of Se disaster, drawn by the sturdy Ba nies thet) arefitways in. readiness. Fe mir Not a tree is to be found through- out the length and breadth of the island. Some years' ago no less than eighty.jour thousand trees were plant- ed there. To-day not one remains. The fierce winds that*sweep over the island have blown, them all out of the sand and carried them far out into the bread Atlantic. : The wild horses, of which there are about three hundred, roam from one end of Bable Island to thq other, and subsist upon the grass that grows in she sandy soil, if soil it ean be call ed." When horses are wanted on the 1 mdinland, gbout thirty are rounded 4 up, taken to the beach and either carried off in bouts, or forced into the water and towed to the ship by the launch. Once alongside the steamer a belt is slipped under them and they are hoisted aboard, or, as more often L happens, a noose is caught round their feet, attached to a boom, the donkey engine started and they are swung aboard in this manner and placed in the holds. Cranberries are the chief agricultury al 'product of the island, and barrels of 'them 'are annually-shipped to the! mainland. Potatoes, also, are raised' with considerable success, The island is governed by Superin- tenident' Boutilier, who for nearly 30 years has administered justice and; Sireital the affairs of Aus 8 interesting yet rous strip «of . : © Ofcourse, Sable ftand, Tike all well conducted 'islands, has its folk lore: that has been handed down from fath./ 'er to "son" anid from one boatman fo, another.

"REFORMS IN CALENDAR. does 'not assist at hisYown execution. the Wright cafapanies was cut down |. a half one fell stroke. and convicted, arid he terminated his- - v Changes In Months .and Holy Days Before British Parliament, _ Bome novel proposals are contained in the fixed calendar bill presented by Sir Henry Dalziel and supported by Mr. Wilkee, Mr. Pringle and Mr. Mun- ro Ferguson. 'The memorandum ac- companying the text of the Bill, explains that the measure purposes to substitute Tor the present irregular | calendar a fixed calendarhaving regu- lar periods, of which the week is a cothmon measure, says The Londén Globe. i * <7] It differs in some important features from the calendar reform bill intro duced on Mareh 45, 1908, by Mr. Robt. Pearce. That hill sought to make the moiiths as uniform in length as pos. sibie, but as a difference in this re- spect is unavoidable in a year with twelve months it is thought better to increase that difference so as to allow of the week being a common measure of all the months. This arrangement makes it possible for each month #0 begin on a Sunday and end on a Sat- urday. The memorandum points out that al- though thé making of a definite regu. lar difference between the lengths of the months does not introduce any new element into the meaning of the word "month," seeing that the months, already differ in length, it has been: thought well to codify the present rule determining monthly periods and to, muke a rule regarding the computing of the monthly salaries. The bill pro- vides that the conditions of labor on New Year Day and Leap Day, and also the remuneration thereof shall cons! form as far as possible to what pres vails on Sundays. In meeting the desire for 'a fixed date for each of the movable holy days! it has been thought sufficient to en. at a fixed date only for Easter, witich is to be upon April 15, as all the others are calculated from the date of Easter. As in Mr. Pearce's bill: and in the calendar act of 1761, pro-. vision is made regarding the comings of age and other events which may be affected by the passing of this bill) The bill if passed by Parliament will not become operative until the crown decides that sufficient international concurrence has been secured, A table giving the proposed fixed calendar shows that the months of January, February, April, May, June, August, October and November would each. consigt of twenty-eight days. while the remaining months of March, July, Beptember and December would each have thirty-five days. New Year Day is set apart, thus bringing the total of days up to the requisite num- ber of 365, while for leap year a spe.' cial day is set apart as Leap Day, which 1s fo be intercalated between the last day of June and the first day of July as reconstitufed by the bill. A clause of the bill lays down that the New Year Day and Leap Day shall - neither of them be accounted days of the week, and shall not, ex- cept where specially mentioned or pro- vided or be held to be included in any computation of days, but shall otherwise be public bank holidays. N Porceldin Walls. } Walls of poreclain at a compara. tively cheap cost, have been made seible by an English pottery expen, /. H. Turner, who has been worki out his patent for many years, « now has succeeded. The material is simply glazed slabs of pure porcelain,! the material commonly known as "china," so trapslucent that light can' be seen through its half inch of thick- ness. The slabs are made in single! feces of any size up to that of the argest sheets of plate glass, and "aral so strong that an elephant could) stand on gne without breaking it." it is said to offer & means of im- perishable decoration, -which "in eolor, grace sud brightness, rivals the paint ed wall decorations of Pompeii," for there can be printed on the slab in its 'biscuit' or porous stage of manu. facture designs or. pictures with such; gradations of coloring that any mas terpiece can be faithfully copied. 4 '0 line the walls of a room with this everlasting covering costs no more than ordinary panelling, and architeals believe that these platés will solve the problem of housing in the tropics, since a house built with walls, floor and roof of these plates, will resist damp, heat, disease and white ants. Salt In the Beer. i Some curious superstitions are gath- ered round even so eminently praofi-, eal a thing as beer. In Scotland it used to be the custom to throw o handful of salt and a little dry malt; into the mash to keep the witches from it, and the cautious housewife in hoses where they brewed their own beer used to throw a live coal into the vat to save the liquor from the fralicsome interference of fairies, The addition of salt, by the way, to beer in the course.of brewing was supposed to be for the unholy purpose of exciting thirst. It may possibly have been mnged to this end by. the unscrupulous, but the real reason was legitimate. Salt moderates the fermen. sation and makes the liquor fine, ~ Landon Chronicle. =», .
