A hundred years ago, April 10tn, there was born in the village of Banff, Scotland, a ehild who was destined to play an important pari in the development of Christian civ- | ilization in the South Sea Islands. Thirty-one and a half years later, this child, grown to manhood, left | Halifax, Nova Scotia, for the New { Hebrides Islands, where he-arrived | after a journey of eighteen months. | | A quarter of a century later he died { in Melbourne, Australia, whither he | had gone to superintend a transla- | tion of the Old Testament for the | use of the Christian natives of am | archipelago which he had found not ! merely pagan but cannibalistic. { This Scottish child 'and Oanadian | missionary 'was John Geddie, whose | | name is still a household word over | { a large part of Canada. Those who | '| would learn more of him and his] 4 pioneer missionary may do | 80 from a brief biography of him, | i ared by Rev. J. W. Falconer, of | | Halifax, and published by the Board | Foreign Missions of the -Presby- | | terian Church of Canada. Appended | this interesting sketch they will} a list of twelve Canadian Pres- | the New | ebrides, of whom eleven arrived there during his active career, while! / the remaining one appeared on the | scene within a year after his death, ! They will learn also from this book- | let that nine years before Mr. Ged- | die arrived on the Island of Aneit- | yum the natives of Erromango had put to death in the most barbarous way John Williams, a prospecting | missionary. Bishop Patteson, who | was killed by the natives of Mela- nesia in 1781, had arrived in his field of work eight years after Mr, | \Geddie had begun his in the New | Hebrides, Their lives were spent not very far apart, and they were | warm personal friends. John Geddie was not merely the first Canadian foreign missionary; | he was the first Canadian propagan- | dist of foreign missions. While still a young, hard-working Presbyterian | pastor in Prince Edward Island he felt it to be his duty to try to arouse { the missionary spirit in the Nova { Scotlan Church, which comprised | then only thirty congregations that could scarcely pay living stipends to | their own pastors. The largesy sal- ary was less than five hundped dol- | | lars, and some of them { than two hundred. | byterian missionaries to on, | as it progressed, until Board of Foreign Missions | pointed, and when the fupd of | promised contributions reached a | thousand dollars Mr. Geddie was | chosen the first missionary, with the {New Hebrides as his field. ; | It sounds like a miracle to say that these people have become civil- | ized, peaceful, and industrious mem- | bers of communities over which 'the British and French nations have now joint sovereign jurisdiction. { Reindeer In Alaska, |.

William Hale, Gananoque, applicant for a shop license, having three con- victions against him during the past year, was given three months' ex tension to permit him to get out of business. The Opinicon Club's ap- plication for a club license, was held over pending the ruling of the department as to the legality eof the incorporation of a new rule in its organization permitting the sale of liquor to privileged members with-, in a radius of nine miles.

Elliot Is Fifth of His Lit to Serve Iu the Army. : He was born in the army, 'was educated in a military schooi, and soldiery has been his life-work. His father was a general, his ancestors} have beén in the army for four gen- | erations back, and he has served the! British Government in many parts | of the world. These are some of the qualifica } tions of Lieutenant-Colonel Harry Macintire Elliot, who occupies the | position of assistant adjutant-gener- | al in Military Division No. 2, ofl which Toronto is the headquarters, | and is second in 'command of the] troops which have been stationed | there. | .He was born in India, 47 years | 2go, the son of General Elliot, of the | British Imperial force stationed! there. He was educated at the Roy- | al Military Academy in Woolwich, | received his first commission in the | Royal Artillery in February, 1888, | and his first station was with the | battery at' Bermuda. Two years | later, in 1890, he was sent to Hali- | fax, where Imperial soldiers were | then stationed. He remained there | six and a half years, the last four | years of which he was adjutant of | artillery. In 1896 he returned to] England and was stationed at Ply- | mouth. He took a gunnery staf | course at Shoeburyness in 1888, and | one year later was sent to Gibraltar. | He"was in South Africa in the first | months of the war as captain of the heavy artillery, but in July, 1900, | he was ordered to China in connee- | tiin with the Boxer uprising. ' Con cluding his work there in 1901, he | again returned to the Old Country, | and was made instructor of gunnery | at Chatham, followed by a term at the gunnery school at Sheerness. Col. Elliot became instructor of gunnery under the Canadian Gov- | ernment in 1906, and was stationed | at Halifax. In 1909 he returned to England, and was stationed at Queenston, in the south of Ireland. | but two years later he returned to | Canada and was appointed directo; | of artillery with headquarters at Ot- tawa in March, 1911, and in March, 1913, became assistant adjutant. general and senior staff officer, re- sponsible for the administration and organization of this military division under Major-General FP. L. Lessard in Toronto. Col." Elliot belongs to the Imperial lent to for four is yet to His friends say that when his the Canadian Government years, one year of which run. remain in Canada and in the Cana | dian militia, should this meet with | the approval of the Imperial author- | ities. Personally, the assistant adjutant- general is quiet, unassuming, re- served, dignified, hard-working, with courteousness his outstanding char- acteristic. "An officer and a gentle- man" is no figure of speech when applied to Colonel Elliot. At the Exhibition camp his day's work com- mences early in the morning, con- day, and the jangling of a telephone sometimes keeps him tied to mili- tary matters most of the night. Dur- ing the day an endless stream of military men and civilians pours into his office in the Administration building. No matter how long the list of callers, or how high the mountain | of work, the assistant adjutant-gen- eral still maintains the same quiet, never-ruffied demeanor. When the world is not at war, Col. Elliot sometimes plays golf, The Lobster Fisheries. The toothsome lobster is not war lobster suppers are no more. Foods are now purchased for their filling and staying qualities rather than for their power to tickle the palates of epicures. Since the majority of the belliger- ent nations are partial to lobster in times of peace, our industry has been seriously hit. Last year the countries now at war bought Canadian canned lobsters to the following amounts: United Kingdom, $1,010,367; France, $703,469; Belgium, $124,283: Ger- making an aggregate of $2,022,312. As we sold abroad last year §$2,- 983,987 worth, it is at once apparent that our export trade in canned lob- 'sters has almost disappeared. Neutral purchases last year were: United States, $808,296; Denmark, $33,069; Holland, $31,713; Norway, $14,114; Sweden, $69,092.
