The long delay in the sailing of the Komagata Maru will be called.

This is Spee 'of a Train Récently Invented. : While experts. continue to discuss the practicability of H. Bachelet's serially suspended railway, J. Esson, 8 ' Birmingham manufacturer, an- nounces that he has invented a train which will travel 500 miles an hour, 200 miles an hour faster than the Bachelet train. This latest invention is of the monorail type, but has one of the Bachelet features inasmuch as it will fly after attaining a certain speed. It does not rely for levitation on magnetic repulsion, but on the prin- ciples of aviation. It will be a hybrid of a ptreet car and an aeroplane with an overhead trolley and propellers. The model is driven by electricity. The inventor claims that it can attain a speed of 500 miles an hour with ease and safety, and he expects to give a demonstration soon with a working model.

Kongo Ppecimens have very large ears that even stretch back beyond the neck and cover part of the flank. In color the Kongo elephants are of a grayish blue, almost slatelike tint. No one has ever reported seeing specimens of the sacred white elephant of India there. In size Kongo elephants have been killed that were more than four- teen feet high at the withers and reckoned: at more than eight tons in weight. Tisks obtained are some- times more than 200 pounds in weight and six feet and a half in length. Camera Man Won Out. There was much wouderment among the Duke's staff at *Craig- leigh," in Toronto recently, as to how the photographer of a morning newspaper managed to get a photo- | graph of the guests at the gala gar- den party shaking hands with the Duke and the Duchess in front of the huuse itself. Every precaution was taken to exclude photographers from the grounds, but 'apparently there wks no provision made to prevent the camera artists from taking their long distance lenses to the top of the trees in-°the ravine. Capt. Bulkeley spotted someone mqving about in the bush in front of the main door and % messenger was despatched to Ine spector Parkinson of the Dominion Police with this information. The inspector and his two detectives scoured the bush for quite a time but could find no trace of any photo graphers. The picture was got never theless, ase It's Going Down. The Ottawa Labor Department's in dex number of wholesale prices stood at 136.2 for May, as compared with 136.8 in April, and 134.5 in April, 1913. Hogs, sheep, dairy produets, fish, and metals, fuel and some lines of lumber were lower in price, but grains, cattle and beef, fruits and vegetables, wool and jute showed im- portant advances. Compared with the same month a year ago, the groups: Fish, dairy products, miscel- laneous foods, metals, fuel and furs were on lower levels, but advances appeared in the groups. Grains and fodder, animals and meats, fruits and vegetables, textiles, hides, leather and lumber, Co-operative Creameries. Until now only 11 co-operative creameries exist in the Province of Saskatchewan. Two others will shortly be opened. Wherever such creameries have been established, their success .has been quite phenm- omenal and has been remarkably re- flected in the enhanced prosperity of their individual districts. The lat- ter circumstance has beén so thor. oughly marked that the agricultural community generally has been c¢om- pelled into active interest in dairy ing. Some indication of this inter- est may be gathered from the fast that since the commencement of the year, the provincial creamery branch has received at least one application daily for the organization of a cream- ery at some point where support is for the first time promised. the faculty of law at McGill for the first time in the history of the uni- versity contained the name of a rep- resentative of the fair sex.

It will be up to the Quebec Bar Association to say whether or not Mrs. Langstaff shall practise, sup posing she desires to do so. N. B. Wins Claim. It has been agreed by the Dominjon Government to pay the New Bruns- wick Government $66,382 in settle- ment for long outstanding fisheries claims. The Dominion Government after the Confederation took from the riparian owners the right of con- / trolling fishing in inland waters, but in 1882 the Privy Council ruled that the fishery rights in such waters be- longed to the riparian owner. The Provincial Government, as riparian owner, claimed the sum of $140,000 as compensation.

Ever since child- hood, I have been under the care of ysicians and have been ying tor's bills, I was so sick and worn out that people on the street often asked me if I thought I could get along without help. The same old Stomach Trouble and distressing Headaches nearly drove me wild. Sometime ago, I got a box of "Fruit- a-tives" and the first box did me good. My husband was delighted and advi- sed a continuation of their use. Today, I am feeling fine, and a physician meeting me on the street, noticed my im appearance and asked the reason. I replied, "I am taking Fruit-a-tives. He said, 'Well, if Fruit-a-tives are making you look so well, go ahead and take them. They are doing more for you than I can", . Mgs. H. 8. WILLIAMS.
