THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG,- SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 14, 1914. The Wizard who put Music into millions of homes S you sit in your own home and listen to the stirring strains of a military band--or the liquid, i"iscious notes of a far famed singer--do vou realize the thanks that you, and all other music lovers, owe to Thomas A. Edison ? As you know, Mr. Edison invented sound-recording and sound-reproducing instruments. lt was due to his genius that millions of homes are able to enjoy everything in music. > It was due to Mr. Edison's cflorts that you--no matter where you live--may have the great artists, the famous bands, the cleverest entertainers, the brightest public speakers, right in your home. For more than thirty six years, Mr, Edison has developed and improved the Edison Phono- graph and Edison Records. The Edison Phonograph today -- with its diamond reproducing point (requiring no needles) -~has a softness, a richness, a velvety smoothness, a wealth of delicate "overtones, that cannot be obtained with any instrument using metal needles which must be changed with every record. You really must hear the Edison to appreciate it to the full. Won't you come in and let us play all your favorite pieces for you © EDISON DEALERS IN KINGSTON » 173 Princess Street. F. W.

Whale Beef. 80 § 4 Whale beef is the latest suggested means of meeting our threatened meat famine. For years this 'beel has been found palatable by the Ja | panese and by sailors on whaling vessels, but the great bulk of it has been allowed to go to waste after the blubber was removed. It is believed that, like the meat of the great tuna, it would find a ready market as the prices of steers go up. A company has been formed on the Pacific coast, which proposes lo utilize the slack | time of the salmon canneries to can | whale beef and send it.to market It is also expevted that several Van- couver 1sland whaling companies will' go into tie business seriously and deliver the beef to the canneries either by towir g or loading it abroad. An average whale with 20 tons of beef will make close to 40,000 one' pound cans and furnish 120,000 sin-' gle meals. There is a steady and growing demand for the flesh of the tuna although the canneries for put. ting it up were started less than a year ago and there is no reason te suppose that whale beef, which is said to be equally nourishing and palatable, will not meet with the same success. The whaling people are likely to take up the idea with gest as the price of whale oil has dropped from $2.50 a gallon to &5 cents. It remains to be seen whether the Canadian consumer will accept; this new addition to the daily menu or whether he will still consent to bé bhidebound by culinary tradition. To Plow Town Lots. A scheme to reduce the cost of liv-| ing by "The vacant lot garden plan," is being projected by prominent as] bers of the Fort William Board of] Trade. The scheme is to secure permission from owners of vacant lots all over the city to devote the land free fof garden purposes for the #éason add | to have the land plowed and harrow- | ed this fall; the lots to be allotted | as application is made for them; to be supplied by the city and If ne | cessary paid for when the crops are harvested. The scheme will cost but very little to be carried out and be- sides will be the means of supplying the laboring man with vegetables without cost and probably permit him to send a portion to the market.

LINE | NEARLY FINISHED, _ |. { January Will See Last' Spike In C.N. R. Transcontinental. The. Canadian Norghern. Railwiy, | which since its inauguration eighteen' years ago has béen, perh unique and interesting railroad en- terprise on the continent, will com- plete its transcontinental trackage during the first month of 1915. The | discouraging influences of war-time which have 'interfered drastically | with cailway extension in all parts 'of the world still find the Canadian Northern with nearly eight thousand men in the construction camps be- tween Montreal and the Pacific. i In a recent interview, Sir William Mackenzie, president of the company, and who with Sir Donald Mann de- veloped the road from a hundred- mile strip in Manitoba to a ten- thousand mile national "system," stated that January mext should see the last rail in place--probably at some spot in British Columbia--and June, of 1915, would probably prove | the opportune time for the com-! mencement of freight and passenger | trafic from Atlantic to Pacific. ! Sir William went on to say that all heavy work on the main line was now over, and that what remained offered little likelihood of delay. Every factor in connection with the road, he believed, favored a useful and profitable future. That the flow of emigration from | the British Isles and Continental na-! tions will continue Canada-wards af- ter the war, Sir William declared to, be his earnest conviction. , Indeed, the war might be a stimulating fac-, tor in that it might attract the at-! tention of thousands of agriculturists to a land immune from periodical slaughter. There were now only 195 miles in the whole main line which were still untracked, said the president. Near-! ly all of this is graded. The gap in! British Columbia trackage amounts to about 163 miles and about 3%] miles between Sudbury and Montreal. | The Sudbury-Port «Arthur section, running about the head of Lake Superior, is now ready for operation while.the long stretch from Toronto to Quebec has been utilized for some months and did signal service recent. in the transportation of troops to Valcartier mobilization camp. Asked as to the physical condition! of the road, Sir William said that the highest standards of railway con. struction guided tBé company from the start. For a distance of 406 miles from the Pacific. Coast, the maximum grade was only four-tenthg of one per cent, and to the "sum- mit" seven-tenths of one per cent. From Port Arthur eastward the maxi- mum grade was four-tenths of one per cent, against eastbound traffic and five-tenths of one per cent, against westbound. These facts established a record for transcontin entals, and were of vital importance in bringing operating costs down to a minimum. As was the first tenet of his first venture into railroad-owning --- in 1896--s0 Sir William to-day 'pins his faith to the land." To his sea soned philosophy, as the land flour ishes so will the rallways flourish Unlike several of the United States roads, the Canadian companies take seventy-five per cent. of their reve- nue from freight transportation, not from passengers, and the productiv ity of the farms first of all, and to a lesser degree the forests and the mines, is what creates the thing call ed freight. Back To the Land. The Department of Agriculture is growing more optimistic as to the placing of unemployed men on On- tario farms during the winter months. At first the response of the farmers was tardy, but apparently they were waiting to understand the sitwktion better. Offers and requests for infor- mation along this line have been coming in steadily now for the past week. Hon. James Duff, in his appeal to them, points out that whereas farm labor had always been scarce in the past, the number of unemployed men should now help to solve the problem. Many of them, he states, have had ex- perience and others are wililng to learn. He makes it a matter of pa- triotism also, and urges the farmers to take it to heart. In many cases farmers have writ- ten offering $10 per month and board to inexperienced men, and others.are quite willing to take them on a basis of board and lodging throughout the winter. There seems to be no let- sd in the demand for experienced labor- ers, and thése will be placed as usual. Rapid Money-Making. For rapid money-making it is doubtful whether any man who has ever lived has equalled the record of Mr. Maédonald, of Dawson City. | Mr. Macdonald reacued the: Alaskan goldfields almost penniless. Three years later he owned mearly eighty mines, of an assessed value of $135, 000,000. This means that he in- year, by nearly four hundredweight of five dollar gold pleces every day, and nearly $5,000 an hour. In the purthase of many of his mines, Mr. Macdonald made more than a million sterling in a single deal. Polite Hint.
