He%reports that there have been several riots, and although the| Germans threatened to shoot the| ringleaders, they refrained from do-! ing so after deliberation. However, the Belgians give ample evidence | that sooner or later they will rise up| in arms against the overbearing en-| emy in their midst, and it is the| hope of the Germans, according fo the courier, that they will riot on af large scale, for that would give the| enemy a longed-for reason for set-| ting a torch to the city wat Despite the spirit of brageadocio £0 the courier says, the Germans show yneasiness over the big battie on the Aisne. It is believed in, Brussels that the Germans really in- tend making no great move against Antwerp, although the siege guns are now battering away at some of the surrounding forts. The cour- fer asserted 'that the movements in the direction of Antwerp were look- ed 'on more in the natnre of engag- fog the main Belgian forces to keep them from joining the allies at this juncture Fully twe thousand Aus- trians, with heavy artillery, passed through.

Last Word in Hospitals. \ The recent addition to the General Hospital at Winnipeg, completed at a cost of $700,000, enables that in- stitution to take a place in the front rank in the Dominion as one of the finest and most up-to-date of its kind. The addition has added 95 wards to tho hospital, which practically dou- bles the capacity of the institution. | One of the special features is the] comprghensive telephone call system | installed. On each corridor, for ex-| ample, placed against a wall, is a box with glass panels, on the sides of which appear the number of each doctor. If a nurse requires a particu- lar medical officer she simply presses a button, when a light immediately appears over his number, and in this way he gets into communication with that part of the hospital where he is required, or even outside if neces- sary. A similar signal system is in operation for the communication of. patients with the staff. A swinging switch is suspended over each bed and when the patient requires a | nurse he presses the button, when a red light appears over the door, and at the nurse's station; it is also re- laid into the diet kitchen and the service room. The light cannot be turned off except at the bedside of the 'patient. A casual inspection of the whole building proves how the advance of science has been availed of to assist-in the work of alleviating pain, Here is the home of the-latest and it needs but a short time to be spent in the , X-ray department to note how alive the surgical staff are to the most recent discoveries in the operating room and the laboratory. The Worm. Now that the plague of the army worm in Ontario has passed the pro- vineial crop report contains the fol- lowing summary of the damage: -- When the presence of the army worm in some of the counties of the province was first reported much anx- fety was expressed as to the outcome of the unexpected and dreaded visita- tion. The pest appeared in about & dozen counties, nearly always near a | creek bed or other low-lying 'spots, but-the injury in.each instance was more or less purely local in range and result, as each outbreak was either soon controlled or it quickly Itself out. Oat fields seemed to be the favorite feeding ground of the worms, a considerable quantity ; of that n had to be cut green to save it from devastation. In some quarters corm, barley, clover, and other crops were also attacked. Timber Trade Picks Up. The off-shore trade of Vancouver is beginning tp show signs of activ- ity.

Some men are lucky in having a {met with laughter, i I placed before the authorities two willingness to work, turned on the terrific struggle in which we are involved, and it was after expressing his admiration of the prompt manner in whith our Government had grappled with the situation, and the extraordinary quickness with which our army and fleet had been so efficiently mobil- ized, that Mr. Le Queux remarked: Even more satisfactory, I think, is the manner in which this country is now being cleared of German spies, Of 'one thing you may be quite, certain--that this war will re- sult in the Secret Service Department adopting such measures in future that the German spy who values his skin will be too frightened to live among us for the purpose of prying into our military and naval secrets. On this phase of the war Mr. Le Queux knows exactly what he is talk- ing about. There is no man who possesses a more intimate knowledge Continental Powers. For several years he has worked quietly and assiduously gathering first-hand information eon- cerning German spies, and the knowledge he has gained of 'their methods and the discoveries he has made have proved of the greatest value to our Foreign Office. "Curiously enough," continued Mr. Le Queux, "the public for some time refused to believe in the perfect organization of the German espion- age syftem In this country. To-day they are beginning to realize what a | menace to us German spies actually were.

I estimated the number at 2,000, and events have since proved that I was right." : Mr. Le Queux has played no smal) part in these investigations, and has come across many interesting and dramatic incidents. Five years ago a very excellent German band ap- peared in London, and played its plaintive tunes in various parts of the Metropolis. Six months later, during which time the members of the band were successful in making a large number of notes valuable 'to the German secret service, they were arrested and deported. Military Service. What is "actual military service"? This question was raised several times in'the Probate Court after the Boer War. It had previously been de- cided, on the analogy of the Roman law, that a soldier was not on ac- tual service unless he was on an ex- pedition, and that he was not on an expedition because he was under or- ders to leave the bBarracks.where he had been quartered to take part in a war. Sir Francis Jeune took a less nar- row view. In one case he decided that a Volunteer, having been accept- ed for service in South Africa and sent into barracks at Colchester un- der orders to embark, was already on an expedition; In another he held that a soldier in India whose will was contained in a letter written to a friend after his regiment had been mobilise for active service in South Africa, but before it had moved from | the place where it was stationed, was already in expeditione. ------------------ Surgery at Sea. Benefits that can be obtained by those who have to undergo a surgi- cal operation in these days of advanc- ed science attain bolder relief from a story told by 8ir John Bland Sutton, surgeon to the Middlesex Hospital. Sir John, who was speaking at a meeting of the British Medical As- sociation in Aberdeen, referred to old-time methods. He described the indelicate treatment accorded in 1889 to the chief officer of a ship who had his hip dislocated. As a preliminary to the operation the pa- tient drank half a bottle of brandy and fifty drops of laudanum., When he was properly drunk and drugged he was fastened by a ring-bolt on the deck, and ten seamen, under the superintendence of the captain, haul- ed steadily on the leg. Their efforts were unavailing. It was afterwards found that the efforts of the unfor- tunate patient's shipmates had brok- en the bone which interfered with the sciatic nerve. . Lighter Than Cork.

Bigger Crops Needed. The Ontario Provincial Govern. ! ment is making a special appeal to | Ontario farmers to enter upon the fall sowing season with the needs of | the Dominion first in mind. In con- | sideration of the fact that the pre- dominant demand of the empire while engaged in the present interna- | | tional conflict is for food in abun: | dance, Hon. James Duff is calling 'upon the Ontario farmer to place ' | greater areas of land than ever be- | fore under ¢rops that. may be utilized | as foodstuffs. The. growing of fall | wheat is especially urged, also of | other cereals and standard vege- | tables. In view of the temptation | now facing the farmers to sell their | cattle across the border at fancy | prices, they are exhorted to pay seri- ous attention to conserving their live stock. ! Mr. Duff sald: "I recognize that' { the amount that can be sown this! fall must be somewhat limited by | the plans which have been made dur- | ! ing the summer, At the same time i I think special plans should be made | | to increase the acreage of the crops ! {to be put in, in the spring as well. | There will undoubtedly be need for | | foodstuffs along many lines in addi- {tion to wheat, such as potatoes, beans, oats, dalry products, live stock and poultry. I would like to point | out that during the past season there | were over 3,300,000 acres of land devoted to pasture. 'Now that there | is every prospect of & good supply of labor, I think a'great deal of this land could with advantage be broken up and put into érop." A Novel Ship. Much interest was aroused on the | Mersey a few days ago by the ap- | pearance of the train carrier and ice- breaker, the Leonard, which has been built at Messrs, Cammell, Laird's, | 'says London Tit-Bits. The owners of the Leonard are the Transcontin- ental Railway of Canada. Accommodation is provided on the main platform of this novel ship for three long trains at the same time. / Tralns can be taken aboard at any | state of the tide, and in addition to / carrying this great burden she can, by reason of her ice-breaking egquip- ment, plough her way through al- | most any icé-field. A train weighing | about 1,4000 tons can be lifted at | the rate of one foot per minute to a helght of 20 feet. Train ferries are not unknown in | Britain, one being in use on the Clyde.
