Maple Syrup arrmes at Salisbury Placas The making of maple sugar and syrup has become but a memory in the recollection of residents in many of the older parts of Canada. The industry is still, however, an important one over large areas in Quebec and to a less extent in Ontario and the provinces down by the sea. Sugar making from the maple, which is confined entirely to this continent, had a very early beginning. Before the advent of the white man the Indian had learned to extract and concentrate the sap of the maple tree. On the Putt approach of spring the trees were gashed, with the tomahawk, in a slanting direction and wife beneath fhe opening made was inserted a wooden chip or spout to direct the fluid drop acquired much value the axe continued to be used for tapping the treés, the sap was ca yoke to a central point to be boiled.

The gyroscope keeps the rudders exactly as they are set before the torpedo is fired, and only by a swift, unexpected move can a ship at; which a torpedo is aimed escape.

The torpedoes used in the British navy are of three diameters--14, 18 and 21 inches--and they vary in length from 16 to 18 feet. A torpedo is driven by compressed air, which first passes through the heater, "acting through the engines on twin propellers fitted to the tall of the weapon. The propellers revolve in opposite directions, thus unteracting any ten- dency to turn right or léft on the torpedo's part.

Hardcas- tle, R.N,, weighs 1.600 pounds, and is charged with 250 pounds of gan- cotton, which explodes on impact by means of dn appiiance fitted in the nose of the torpedo, and which is sufficient to blow a hole as large as a haystack in the side of a battleship It has an effective range of about four miles. The guncotton is kept wet to keep it from exploding until actually struck. As soon as a torpedo hits its mark it explodes automatically; and there are only two methods of defense against it. One is to locate and shell the attacking torpedo beat or subma- rine; the other, to drop steel wire These are by no means an infallible protec: tion, however.
