As the majority are the laboring descendants of generations of laboring parenls, the prevailing expression is one of sullen listlessness, but in a number of cases a decided sense of humor gparkles, as in the following incident. Max, a ' young Austrian about twenty-five years of age, with over- hanging brows that would have done credit to the make-up of an Adelphi villain, walked up to the desk to be registered. "Nomen?" began the stenographer in her best Polish. No reply. 'Keel ko leete?" Still no answer. "Poveat?' she struggled bravely down the list. Still silence. Finally, in desperation she blurted out, "What language on earth do you speak, anyway?" The face lighted up at once. "Ob, me!" he exclaimed thoroughly en- by } is the ! joying the denouement, 'I speeks ze ! Engleesh." The task of registering these four thousand alien enemies is no light task, for the questions are long and the time short. It is all carried off, however, with despatch and a brus- que cheeriness by Captain Wandless, The presiding genius of the office; and his assistant and stenographer. The questions asked are, briefly: the dress, and occupation of the appll- cant; whether he i8 married or sin- gle, where his family reside, and whether he has ever been a soldier or id. at prsent a reservist, As the registration. records show that as many as -one hundred aud eighty have been entered in one day, the remark previously made that the of- fice was one of Toronto's busy spots is amply justified. Alter receiving the re card, the alien enemy is required to report at the office once a week, once a fortnight, or once a month, the time and frequency of the reports being left to the discretion of the registrar, A few hours of alien registration work would drive most stenographers crazy, and even the captain's able assistant finds it as much as she wa do to spell the sirange names. of places and peaple required to fill up with fipossible names often change them. _ 4 1 : "has been perhaps the most am g feature of the registration work.

That little game has been made il- Maple sugar or maple syrup manufactured for sale or offered for | sale must be pure according to the standard; and the word "maple" must not be used along or in combi- nation with other words on a label in such a manner as to make a person believe that the package or can to which* such label is aflixed contains pure maple sugar or pure maple syr- up. To uge such a deceptive label d& deemed to be aduiteration. Last year some attention was paid to adulteration by the analysts of the Department of Inland Revenue."

They Are a Source of Great Wealth | if Properly Developed, | Atiention is beisg drawn to the! possibility of expansjon of Canadian commerce and industry as a result of the war. This may take the form of domestic production of articles for a supply of which we have heen. depen- dent upon foreign sources, ov of in- creased exports to other countries of products hitherto supplied by Ger- | many and Austria. i Among other things this empha- | sizes the importange which develop- ment of the latent resources of Cana- dian peat bogs might readily assume if full advantage of 4¢he new condi- tions arising from the war were taken. i Sulphate of ammonia, the chief by- product of European peat plants, is a valuable fertilizer worth about $60 per ton, The.world's production last year is estimated at 1,365,000 tons, worth about $80,000,000. The chief importing countries are: United States and Canada, Japan, Java, Spain and Portugal, and Italy. i This shows the existence of exten- sive marketd which might ébe sup- plied, in part at least, by Canada, and of an opportunity to capture some share of the trade of Germany and Austria in this product The extent and rapid growth of the domestic market for artificial ferti- lizers is shown by the fact that in the past six years Canada's output has increased from $403,171 to $787,656. i Many Canadian peat bogs are rich in nitrogen, and therefore suitable for this industry, and enquiries have "already been made by British capital- ists with a view to establishng chemi- | cal works in Canada, provided that a *"uMicient supply of peat can: be guaranteed, } Apart from the potential value of | out peat bogs as a subsidiary source of fuel supply and for production of sulphate of ammonia, there are num- | erous other products such as moss lit- | ter, peat dust, alcohol, acetic acid, acetone, tar, tar oils, crecsote, etc., which might form the basis of pay- ing industries giving employment to many people where now we have only | waste lands, In the peat bogs of Northern Hol- land alone it is stated that abomt $3,~ 000,000 worth of peat fuel is made yearly, and over 200,000 tons of peat | moss litter, About 10,000 families | are employed in thé pent fields, and | many prosperous towns owe their ex- | istence and prosperity to the industry, | In addition to shipments made hy | rail, it is estimated that peat furn-! ishes annually about 48,000 cargoes | to the Dutch canal boats.--*Journal | of the Canadian Peat Society."
